Chapter 18
As soon as the word "regret" came out of his mouth, it was as if a sharp awl was piercing Xiao Linshe's forehead heavily, and a layer of paleness appeared on his handsome face.

In his mind, a fair-skinned and dwarfed woman walked towards him coldly. She looked at him with clear eyes. There was coldness and disgust in her eyes, but there was no admiration of the past.

She opened her lips lightly and her voice was as calm as water: "Whether you kneel or not, regret or not, what does it have to do with me?"

The pain subsided, Xiao Linshe clenched his fingers tightly, his sword eyes darkened.

An unknown fire arose in his heart.

In the dream, he had already admitted his mistake with Shen Yi, but she still wanted to make trouble, pretending to be so calm and showing off to whom?
The long alley was full of people, and they all looked at Xiao Linshe who was kneeling straight.

On that day, the news of the breakup of the engagement between the Prince of Chu and his eldest daughter, Miss Shen, became known throughout the city.

The Prince of Chu's words were full of displeasure towards Miss Shen. He only said that he had someone in his heart, and that beauty was Miss Cui.

Who could have expected that, less than half a month later, the Prince of Chu would actually come to admit his mistake and express his regrets to Miss Shen.

Some people sneered at Xiao Linshe's turbulent behavior: "The prince of Chu's heart is really unpredictable. Half a month ago, he refused to marry Miss Cui Mansion, and today he feels regret after talking to Miss Shen."

"Could it be that after seeing Miss Shen successfully helping the prince in treating floods in Luncheng, he came here to take advantage of her?"

Everyone is convinced that Miss Shen is now a strange woman praised by everyone in Chang'an City.

The Crown Prince of Chu broke off the engagement when he said he wanted to, and regretted when he said he regretted it. Where did he put Miss Shen, and who did he take Miss Shen to be?
Some people also said: "This is wrong. A prodigal son can never change his fortune. The Prince of Chu was just temporarily fascinated by Miss Cui Mansion. After going round and round, he found Miss Shen to be a good match."

"As the saying goes, no one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. The Crown Prince of Chu knows his mistakes and can correct them, so he is a good man. What's more, Miss Shen has the Crown Prince of Chu in her heart, and it would be best to continue our relationship."

Xiao Linshe's face was as gloomy as water.He was already impatient to wait, Shen Yi took Qiao's neglect and left him here for a long time.

He will definitely keep everything in mind today.

When he marries her, she will be such a willful wife and unworthy of his respect and affection.

In the Marquis Shen's Mansion.

Shen Ce's face turned red with anger. He held a long sword in his hand and said angrily: "Xiao Linshe still dares to come to the door. Yi Niang, if you give the order, my eldest brother will blow him away immediately!"

Shen Zishan and Gu Qingwei looked at Shen Yi lovingly and said, "Mother Yi, just do whatever you want. Your parents, eldest brother, and Shenhou Mansion will all support you!"

A warm current flowed through Shen Yi's heart. In this life, she was not fighting alone, but had relatives behind her.

She is fearless and will never back down.

Emperor He Yuan wanted to trap the Shenhou Mansion with his marriage to Xiao Linshe, so she killed Emperor He Yuan!
"Father, mother, eldest brother, Yi Niang will personally come to a complete end with Xiao Linshe." Shen Yi smiled lightly and spoke in an unhurried tone.

More and more people stopped in the long alley. They came to watch the excitement, but they couldn't even see Miss Shen.

They whispered: "Miss Shen turned a blind eye, and the Crown Prince of Chu may have returned in vain today."

Xiao Linshe relied on a breath of bad breath to support him. He wanted to see what Shen Yi, who loved him deeply, could do?
If he takes the initiative to ask for peace, will she refuse?
She definitely won't.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, and the door of Shenhou Mansion slowly opened.

Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked towards the door. They exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Shen is out!"

Xiao Linshe sneered in his heart, but Shen Yi finally couldn't hold it any longer.

Shen Yi walked forward, her plain-colored skirt swaying gracefully with charm.

She stood on the stone steps and looked down at Xiao Linshe.

The eyes were so cold, like a cold rain falling on his heart in the cold spring, and actually overlapped with the dream that had been lingering on him for several days.

Xiao Linshe's heart trembled.

He stared at Shen Yi for a long time, and the evil aura just now disappeared for no apparent reason, and he said in a solemn voice: "Yiniang..."

Shen Yi interrupted Xiao Linshe: "Prince Chu, you and I have broken off our engagement. You'd better call me Miss Shen."

Xiao Linshe's eyebrows twitched, and a trace of fear gradually crept into his heart.

Shen Yi seemed to really want to break up with him and didn't want to look back.

His tone was a little lower: "Miss Shen, I came here today to plead guilty. It is precisely to ask you to renew our engagement with me."

Huazhi, who was following Shen Yi, sneered: "In just ten days, Prince Chu has forgotten what you said that day."

"You accuse Miss Cui of being rigid and boring, and she is far inferior to Miss Cui. You only have Miss Cui in your heart, and you would not marry anyone other than Qing. How could you condescend to ask Miss Cui to renew your engagement today? Isn't this just a slap in the face?" ?" Everyone was in an uproar. Although they had heard a little bit about the Prince of Chu's words about breaking off the engagement, they were still extremely shocked when they actually heard it.

They exclaimed: "Miss Shen has a natural beauty and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can she be a rigid and boring person?"

"That's right! Miss Shen is decisive in her actions, and she has shown everything in Luncheng. She can be regarded as the best among women."

"Not only that, looking at the entire capital, which noble lady can match Miss Shen's appearance?"

Every word you said to me fell in Xiao Linshe's ears, and he was almost deafened.

Is Shen Yi that good?Her appearance is so beautiful that she attracts the covetation of so many people.

That's it for Xiao Jing, so are others?
He looked straight at Shen Yi, with long eyebrows and clear eyes that were looking forward to her. Without applying any powder, his color was as beautiful as ever.

Xiao Linshe's heart moved. He and Shen Yi have known each other for more than ten years, but they may have been indifferent to her for a long time, thinking that she was just pretty.

Today, when I took a closer look, I realized that her beauty was no less beautiful than Jin Niang's.

His sword eyes were dark as he carefully considered his words: "Yi...Miss Shen, I was wrong and failed you in the past."

"You have always been devoted to me, are you willing to give me a chance to start over?"

Shen Yi's eyes were like the remaining snow on the cliff, with naked disgust clearly showing.

Until now, Xiao Linshe still thought that she liked him.

She said flatly: "I don't like it anymore."

Xiao Linshe's eyes trembled, and the familiar yet unfamiliar pain in his heart arose in his dream. The pain caused him to break out in cold sweat and stained his thin inner clothes.

His voice was trembling: "Miss Shen, you are talking angrily. You were so fond of me."

The floating light dances on Shen Yi's dimples, her icy muscles and jade bones, her beauty is natural.

Her eyes were as shallow as a knife, and her words were precious: "I have indeed had a crush on you, and I have a childhood sweetheart friendship with you, which always makes me happy. I also took out the marriage certificate between you and me every day, and looked at it with a smile. . I also traveled with you all over Chang'an City, watching the clouds roll in and relax."

"But for the sake of Miss Cui, whom I met only a few months ago, you accused me of being as dull and boring as a piece of wood, far inferior to her. You came to break off the engagement, putting the Shenhou Mansion at the forefront, and treating me like a piece of grass. "

"How can I fall in love with you again, and how can I lose the character of Shenhou Mansion?"

Every word, like a sharp knife, completely tore through the facade of Xiao Linshe's conspiracy.

In front of his eyes, scenes from his dream suddenly flashed through him, his figure chasing Shen Yi, his helpless look as he begged her to change her mind, and he thought deeply about her sad face.

His breathing was rapid, it was clearly springtime, but he felt cold to the bone.

"Miss Shen, I..." Xiao Linshe was speechless, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

Everyone was silent, they all looked at Shen Yi unbearably.Yes, Miss Shen and the Prince of Chu were childhood sweethearts. They were both talented and beautiful, and everyone in Chang'an City envied them.

It's really disappointing that it finally got to this point.

After listening to Shen Yi's words, Huazhi felt tears swirling in her eyes.

The young lady was probably so heartbroken that she said these words so calmly.

Only Shen Yi was the calmest.

Her face was elegant and calm, and she said in a calm voice: "It's hard to collect the water. Prince Chu, please come back."

Xiao Linshe was completely panicked.

Only then did he clearly understand that Shen Yi was really just like in a dream, abandoning him and never looking back.

"Yiniang, Miss Shen, if you refuse to forgive me, I will never be able to kneel here." Xiao Linshe said stubbornly.

His eyes were red and bloodshot: "Until you forgive me."

The breeze blew slowly, and Shen Yi's black hair blew against her face. She smiled slightly: "Since I have broken off my engagement with the Crown Prince of Chu, I have severed all ties."

"Whether you kneel or not, regret or not, what does it have to do with me?"
