After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Several people were standing in the corridor outside the two private rooms for a while, and the scene was noisy. Shen Yanhan and Qin Yuehuai looked at the people around each other, but others did not notice anything unusual for a while.

As for Qin Yuehuai, a colleague who had been familiar with Li Ye for a long time saw Li Ru appearing and asked, "So it's Madam Li here. Is she alone?"

Li Ru blushed, looked away from the moonlight-like husband's face, and replied politely: "Yes."

The person who asked the question made a generous invitation: "Why don't you come and have dinner with us? Come in quickly!"

After hearing the words, Li Ru looked at Li Ye and saw Li Ye nodded in acquiescence. Li Ru smiled and agreed. Someone wisely stepped aside for her and she walked in.

As for Shen Yanhan, whose eyes had been resting on her for a long time, as the daughter of Shen Siye of the Imperial Academy, she had often appeared in the Imperial Academy in the past. Some of the Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy came from the Imperial Academy, and now there are those from the Imperial Academy. The disciple recognized her and exclaimed excitedly——

"Isn't this Mrs. Shen!"

A shout stopped Li Rucai's steps.

Turning around and looking, this young lady had a beautiful face and a graceful outfit. Because she was wearing the latest style of clothes in the store, which was different from the usual solemn clothes of the young ladies in Lin'an Prefecture, it added a bit of color to her, and her cheeks were even dyed. There was some blush, and above it, a pair of bright eyes were born, like a pair of black gems. People like the Li Ru brothers and sisters who turned their eyes when Bachelor Chi called out, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Madam Shen lives up to her reputation and is the center of attention wherever she goes.

With just his peripheral vision, he could detect the scorching gazes of several single colleagues, and the figure of Zheng Shilin, who was watching with his arms folded, behind Shen Yanhan. He moved closer and pressed against her shoulder, Qin Yuehuai's lip line So tight.

Shen Yanhan didn't even look at him, and saluted openly: "Chi Sanlang, long time no see."

She looked at Chi Sanlang with a smile on her face, without a trace of stage fright, and looked calm and generous.

She remembered his name, and even his ranking. The tips of Chi Sanlang's ears turned slightly red, thinking that she would always be surrounded by a group of students when she went to the Imperial College, and it was not that easy to talk to her, so he seized the opportunity to continue chatting with her: "Is my mentor okay now?"

She was busy with business and helping to treat the refugees, and had not returned to the Shen Mansion for many days. She had no idea whether Shen Guci was well or not, but Shen Yanhan nodded and said, "Thank you for thinking about me. My father is fine."

"That's good." Chi Sanlang said.

The two of them went back and forth and had a good conversation. She regarded him as nothing, and Qin Yuehuai couldn't stand it anymore. She put her fist to her lips and coughed hard.

This is so fake. Not to mention that the people in Hanlin Academy are all highly intelligent people, even an ordinary guy passing by can hear the extremely artificial meaning.

Not surprisingly, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Yuehuai's face.

Qin Yuehuai turned a blind eye to even the attention of his colleagues and stared closely at Shen Yanhan, thinking that if Shen Yanhan wanted to look at her, he could introduce these people to her.

But Shen Yanhan turned a deaf ear to his artificial cough. She only fluttered her eyelashes and still looked at Chi Sanlang, knowingly asking: "Are these all your colleagues?"

Qin Yuehuai tugged at the corners of his lips helplessly.

Shen Yanhan asked Chi Sanlang that she was the most familiar with him among all the people. Chi Sanlang was greatly encouraged and introduced enthusiastically: "Exactly, I am now working at Hanlin College. These are all things I have done before." Colleague, this..."

Chi Sanlang was mid-sentence, and as soon as he raised his right hand, he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Yuehuai rather rudely: "I invited my colleagues to have a casual dinner, why are you here?"

Chi Sanlang stopped talking.

The people watching were also stunned.

In fact, Qin Yuehuai addressed Madam Shen directly as "you and me", which was too casual and natural.

As Qin Yuehuai spoke, he quietly turned half sideways in front of Shen Yanhan's eyes. He was already tall, so he blocked her view of Chi Sanlang, and Shen Yanhan had to look towards her. Qin Yuehuai.

Li Ru's father was the Minister of Household Affairs of the current dynasty, and all of his brothers had a good background - except for Li Ru, who looked similar to Li Ru, they were either in the second house or the third division.

With such a young, beautiful and unmarried lady from a distinguished family, with the reputation of "Qi Zhuangyuan" now in the mouth of the matchmaker in Lin'an, there are many customers who come to her shop to chat. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is "the most beautiful woman in the world". .

Was the drunkenness of their meal due to the wine or to the husband? How could she not doubt it?
And if he wasn't feeling guilty, he could have just pretended that he and her didn't know each other, and deliberately said something like this that hinted at the familiarity between the two.

After only a few days with him, he openly fell in love with someone?
She was already dizzy, but now there was a surge of energy and blood rushing into her head, instantly destroying the trust she had finally regained in Qin Yuehuai.

Recalling what Cai Xizhu asked her today, "You said you wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but now that you and Qin Qilang are like this, are you still recruiting?" Shen Yanhan felt angry and decided to take a preemptive strike.

She glanced at Li Ru, and then returned to Qin Yuehuai's face. The blush on his face was even more obvious due to the ups and downs of emotions in her heart. She smiled half-heartedly and said, "I was looking at people, and I didn't expect to meet Bachelor Qi." You. You are hosting a banquet here today, so I wish your guests a great time."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, not expecting Mrs. Shen to talk about private matters so openly.

A cold light flashed in Qin Yuehuai's eyes.

Chi Sanlang, who had been interrupted, seemed to be hit hard for the second time when he heard this. He looked blankly at Zheng Sanlang beside Shen Yanhan, and suddenly showed a speechless expression.

Zheng Shilin also didn't expect that Shen Yanhan would define his behavior with her in this way in public. With his temperament, he could have ignored others' face and said "What nonsense", but this sentence made his heart skip a beat. Suddenly, the arms he held began to stiffen involuntarily.

Zheng Shilin was born as the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, and he was proud of himself. As a military general, he always showed his emotions. Every time Qin Yuehuai saw him, he could see a certain impatience on his face that he did not want to communicate with others in a complicated manner.

For example, in this teahouse on the Mid-Autumn Festival, he grabbed Shen Yanhan's wrist with an irritated look on his face; another example is when Meng Changqing asked him to get acquainted with him, Zheng Shilin also looked reluctant...

Now, for the first time, he saw on Zheng Shilin's face the panic of a young boy who was just beginning to fall in love.

The coldness in Qin Yuehuai's heart became even stronger.

In front of all his colleagues, he didn't show much. He just froze in place as if he was surprised when he heard Shen Yanhan's words. He looked at Shen Yanhan quietly with his eyes and said nothing.

Shen Yanhan knew very well that the more turbulent his emotions were, the calmer he appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows provocatively.

She really hit his sore spot.

During a moment of silence, she heard someone ask: "Ms. Shen, are you saying that you are looking at each other?"

Shen Yanhan thought that she was just an inconspicuous person in Lin'an Mansion. Her family background was not prominent, she had Shen Guci's noble temperament, and she would not associate with anyone who gossiped. Her private affairs probably did not attract much attention from others.

And actually?
She is such a beautiful woman. In the past year, she was engaged by the Liang family, then quickly broke off the engagement, then quickly got married, then lost her husband, and then started a prosperous business - all these things are shocking. .

The ladies saw that she seemed not to be affected at all. She was always energetic and radiant. Some were envious, some were jealous, some praised, some despised...

In short, there are quite a few people who talk about her behind her back, and all of them here have heard of her legend more or less.

Facing Li Ye's question, Shen Yanhan knew that his sister was looking at Qin Yuehuai, so she answered him with a smile: "'Tingfeng Tea House' is a convenient place."

Almost as soon as she made the pun, Qin Yuehuai asked her: "Are you talking to Prince Zheng?"

The smile on Shen Yanhan's face froze.

None of the people in front of her had much friendship with her. The one she was most familiar with was Chi Sanlang's nodding acquaintance. What she just said about meeting each other was already a very private matter. Who would ask her questions about other details without knowing it? ?

But this Qin Yuehuai actually asked about something that could have been vague!
Shen Yanhan was angry: "Scholar Qi is joking."

But Qin Yuehuai had no intention of letting go of the topic she had raised. His eyes were full of doubts: "Then why did Prince Zheng appear with you?"

Shen Yanhan listened to the words that seemed to be questioning and looked into his eyes as quiet as a deep pool. She felt a little breathless when she thought that the two of them had finally reconciled.

But when he thought that he was the protagonist who was clearly interested in me at this moment, he regained his senses and said solemnly: "Call my friends to help me give advice. What do you think, Bachelor Qi?"

Qin Yuehuai calmed down for a few moments before saying, "I was the one who was abrupt."

He apologized, but his tone was very stiff, showing a kind of reluctance.

Shen Yanhan also had a cold expression and stopped talking to these people. After a hasty farewell, he left with his head held high.

Colleagues returned to the room one after another, and Li Ru was also called in. There were sounds of footsteps leaving in his ears, and probing eyes on his face. Qin Yuehuai only looked at Shen Yanhan and Zheng Shilin. From the back view, until the two of them entered the private room next door, he still made no move.

It wasn't until someone said, "Brother Qi, come in too" that he looked away, nodded and entered.

In the second half of the party, everyone could see that Qi Yan was absent-minded.

*
In the room separated by a wall, the atmosphere is not necessarily peaceful.

Zheng Shilin clearly noticed that Shen Yanhan was in a low mood. She was always the one who took the initiative to talk when the two of them got along in the past, but today she was unusually quiet. She ordered a table of delicious dishes that were delicious, delicious, and after two bites, she said she was full. , but he drank a lot.

Zheng Shilin wanted to advise: "If you have a sore throat, you shouldn't drink too much."

Shen Yanhan said, "This hot wine is just good for warming up."

A long silence spread between the two.

At this moment, Zheng Shilin no longer wanted to deceive himself. Meng Changqing's words were still in his ears, and he could also see that the relationship between Mrs. Shen and Bachelor Qi was unusual.

only……

It's just that even the second brother can keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, and marry the second sister-in-law whom he has loved for many years. He has never even spoken about his affection, so how do you know that there is no chance?

Thinking of this, Zheng Shilin secretly took a deep breath and said, "You just said that you should look at others, do you really mean it?" Shen Yanhan raised her eyes and stared at the empty space to look at him.

Her cheeks were abnormally red, and her throat was dry and hoarse. She didn't want to say much at first, but thinking that she had just used Zheng Shilin as a cover, she smiled apologetically and said honestly: "It's a lie. You are the temporary host." , I just came here to eat, no one is looking at me."

If she was really on a blind date, he could still mention himself in this matter, but she was not. Zheng Shilin choked secretly and had to stop what he was going to say.

It was as if he was ambushed when he rushed out with all his strength. He was stunned for a while, and then he asked again: "Why are you lying? But it has something to do with Bachelor Qi?"

The question was asked bluntly, and people could hear the meaning of persecution. Not only the words, but also his eyes were as sharp as knives. Shen Yanhan was shocked in her heart. Someone exposed her and Qin Yuehuai, and what was in her heart Still feeling depressed, he subconsciously denied it: "It has nothing to do with him."

Zheng Shilin was noncommittal, as if he believed it.

Shen Yanhan's heart was in a mess. She didn't speak when the other party was quiet. She just lowered her eyes and poured another drink. After finishing the glass, she exhaled, and the hot air filled her eyes, blurring her features.

At this time, she heard Zheng Shilin say from the opposite side: "Young women are getting married, so there is nothing wrong with Mrs. Shen getting married again."

Shen Yanhan herself was not sensitive, and it was at the moment when she heard Zheng Shilin's words that she realized in hindsight what the deep sense of surprise represented when Li Langjun asked her if she was seeing someone. some meaning.

Yes, the first requirement for people in this world for a married woman is loyalty.

After all the calculations, she had been "widowless" for less than a year, and she was still considered a "new widow". How could she start seeing her husband?What's more, logically speaking, guarding oneself until old age and death should be the most correct path for a woman like her.

The red rope that Qin Yuehuai knitted on her wrist caught her eyes, and underneath it there was a faint shadow that he had caught the night before. Her skin was white and greasy, and even if he didn't use much force, he still left traces, not to mention that the clothes elsewhere were hiding it. Underneath, those places where he was treated extremely harshly.

All of this showed that she and he did have a past.

A past that is unknown and will never see the light of day again.

She has never been ashamed of herself, but she also knows the world's common views on marriage and well-matched couples. Today, she saw with her own eyes how talented and beautiful he was under the blue sky and white sun, standing opposite another young lady, so she seriously thought about the relationship between the two. There should be a relationship. After all, Qin Yuehuai is neither a poor scholar nor a real Qiyan. His identity is that of the royal family and the queen of power.

In the eyes of others, shouldn't the wife that such a husband deserves be like Mrs. Li?
Shen Yanhan didn't think that she had to live according to other people's ideas, but would he dare to do what she dared to do?
Thinking of the word "dare", the small flame that had been lit in front of Shen Guci suddenly sprang up in her heart, burning her soul that was unwilling to let women be treated harshly by this world.

What's wrong with her?Even Shen Gu Ci can't control her, and she doesn't have the habit of being timid.

Shen Yanhan felt suddenly enlightened.

Zheng Shilin prepared the ground for what he said. He was nervous in his heart and was about to say the most important sentence when he saw the young lady opposite him after drinking. She raised her face and said with longing: "Zheng Sanlang, you said it very well." That makes sense, to tell you the truth, I am planning to recruit a husband."

"Come, come to visit your husband?"

A bolt from the blue struck Zheng Shilin so unexpectedly that he stuttered.

It was inevitable that he would have such an unexpected reaction. Shen Yanhan did not expect the eldest son of the Zheng family to understand her approach. She just said what was on her mind like she would a friend: "Yes. To tell you the truth, this matter I had planned it before, but I had been busy with business matters and didn’t have much energy to arrange it. I also thought about it. After I have some free time, I will also inquire about it. If there is a husband who is willing …”

Zheng Shilin looked at her already bright eyes, which were getting darker and brighter with hope at this moment. Her red lips opened and closed, and she felt a buzzing in her ears, and a huge, overwhelming wave hit her head. Come on, he felt like he was drowning in water, completely unable to listen to what Shen Yanhan said.

Shen Yanhan's state of mind was completely different from his.

Sometimes, even if you don't really think so in your heart, when you say the words, you will be convinced at the same time, making people think that this is what you originally thought in your heart.

Shen Yanhan was convinced of his future plans and became more and more enthusiastic as he talked: "I believe my business will gradually improve. Then I will not have to worry about food and drink, and I will be able to support my husband without any effort -"

"Which husband do you want to support?" A figure suddenly appeared at the door and asked coldly.

Shen Yanhan's words stopped abruptly. When he raised his eyes and looked over, what he met was a dark gaze that sent chills down the spine even more than the voice.

Qin Yuehuai walked in unconsciously, glanced at Zheng Shilin, and sat down next to Shen Yanhan, looking into her eyes like a thief about to escape.

Both his eyes and actions showed the husband's anger, but Shen Yanhan refused to compromise when she thought that he had betrayed her just now.

After Qin Yuehuai sat down, she stood up and kept a huge distance from him. Her eyes were colder than his, and she said impatiently: "What does it have to do with you?"

When she saw Qin Yuehuai standing up with her, she simply turned her back and refused to pay attention.

At this time, Zheng Shilin seemed to have just escaped from Langdi and saw the scene in front of him clearly. He saw that Shen Yanhan had just taken a step away from Qi Yan and made a move to leave. Qi Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her .

Qin Yuehuai stood behind Shen Yanhan and held the back of her neck: "Looking at my weakness, are you going to abandon me all the time?"

Beginning, chaos, end, abandonment.

Zheng Shilin froze on the spot in disbelief.

First it was "I have been in love for a long time", then "I can't help myself", and now it is "beginning to be confused and finally giving up". Every time Qi Yan spoke, he was renovating his understanding of this kind-hearted gentleman.

Shen Yanhan didn't expect Qin Yuehuai to grab her. When someone grabbed her by the collar, she subconsciously broke away and said urgently: "What are you talking about?"

She twisted and wanted to run away, but Qin Yuehuai's grip tightened, not giving her a chance to stay away from him. There was such a disparity in strength that Shen Yanhan couldn't break free from Qin Yuehuai's hand even after pulling for a long time.

She noticed that Qin Yuehuai took a step closer to her behind her, and his voice was almost above her head: "I'm just stating the facts. It's just my weakness that makes you dislike me."

Shen Yanhan couldn't see behind him, so he pulled randomly with his backhand, but only managed to pull Qin Yuehuai's wide sleeves. His back was sweating, but he still couldn't escape his clutches.

It was clear that he was a wall of steel and iron, but he actually had the nerve to say that he was weak.

There was a black soap boot in his sight. Without thinking, Shen Yanhan stepped on it angrily: "You are so weak!"

After saying this, Shen Yanhan felt regretful. What she denied was "weakness" rather than "giving up in the end". In this way, others just didn't want to believe that it was difficult for her to do anything to Qin Yuehuai.

Sure enough, these words were like a sharp sword that pierced Zheng Shilin's heart. He suddenly felt like an emotional bystander, witnessing how the two people in front of him got to where they are today step by step.

Qin Yuehuai was stepped on by Shen Yanhan. Due to the pain, he instinctively retracted his foot. Just as he was retracting, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he made a new move.

Shen Yanhan was still immersed in the emotion of regret that he couldn't express. Unexpectedly, the next moment, someone pressed his chin on the top of her head. Qin Yuehuai said with artificial aggrievement on top of her head: "It hurts."

Seeing such a hugging scene, Zheng Shilin knew that there was no need to continue watching. He clenched his fists, turned around, and left without saying goodbye as if he was running away in a hurry.

As soon as Zheng Shilin left, the waiter who was waiting at the door quickly closed the door for the two of them.

Shen Yan said coldly: "Everyone is gone, why are you pretending? Let me go!"

There was no one to disturb him. Qin Yuehuai moved forward without retreating. He put his arms around Shen Yanhan's waist and hugged her. They were close to each other. He moved his chin to her thin shoulder and looked at her from the side. The profile of his face, with hidden emotions in his eyes: "Who are you looking at?"

Shen Yanhan was completely restrained by him, and she knew how strong he really was. She gave up her stubbornness to resist him, turned her face to the other side, and said stubbornly: "I told you it has nothing to do with you."

Qin Yuehuai pressed forward step by step: "Aren't you helping in the medicine hall? You can still find time to go on a blind date. You are really energetic."

He raked her down and mocked her. Shen Yanhan finally turned around, looked at the head on his shoulder and smiled sarcastically: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps?"

"So you think I'm looking at someone else?"

"Is not it?"

Almost as soon as she asked, he answered: "No."

Shen Yanhan was choked by the speed and was speechless for a moment. She could only watch Qin Yuehuai put a hand under her eyes and swore to God: "If I tell a lie, the sky will strike with thunder." .”

When Shen Yanhan didn't respond, he quickly explained: "I have been promoted and will leave Hanlin College soon. My colleagues gathered here today to practice for me. The lady from the Li family was also the one before you arrived. What appeared just a moment ago is not what you call looking at me."

As soon as the words fell, the room, which was originally noisy due to the dispute between the two, became extremely silent, as if the only sound they could hear was each other's breathing.

To be honest, he explained so seriously that Shen Yanhan's heart was not made of iron, so it was inevitable that he would be touched.

At this time, she heard him say again: "I was going to introduce you to them, but you said you still wanted to see each other, hey..."

This sigh seemed to be in her heart, and Shen Yanhan's heart trembled.

Qin Yuehuai then asked her: "You are talking nonsense in front of my colleagues, is it because you are tired of it?"

As proud as she is, how could she admit that she had a momentary whim, made a fuss about her fabricated privacy in front of a crowd, and lost her reputation?
Shen Yanhan: "Stop being so sentimental!"

How could Qin Yuehuai believe her?He said helplessly: "Would you rather lie to others than admit that you misunderstood me?"

It doesn't feel good to have someone guess your mind, and Shen Yanhan is not what he expected.

She looked at him sideways and said, "I didn't lie, I had planned to recruit a son-in-law."

Her expression clearly didn't look like she was lying.

Qin Yuehuai gradually let go of her and straightened up.

Thank you for your votes!
