Red apricots make spring

Chapter 188
Taihe City, Lu Mansion.

After receiving Yun Dan's letter, Lu Ce handed it to Xizhu beside him after reading it.He had been guessing how much Shen Mengyi knew, but now it seems that she really heard about Wenrou's whereabouts from Xu Xiucai, otherwise she couldn't explain why Pei Jingxuan appeared in Yunzhou.

Xi Zhu scanned the letter at a glance and said hesitantly, "Master, Miss Shen, this is..."

"She is simply unscrupulous." Lu Ce said lightly.

Ever since Pei Jingxuan was recruited by Wen Gang as a violinist, he had someone secretly check Pei Jingxuan's identity, and only then did he know that before he borrowed in Shen's residence, Pei Jingxuan had been teaching Shen Mengyi to play the violin. He didn't do anything inappropriate, so he just pretended not to know.

"Then, shall we expose the identity of the luthier?" Xi Zhu was a little worried.

Lu Ce lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "No need, let Yun Dan go about her own business, and don't keep staring at Pei Jingxuan." Before he can give Wen Rou the life he wants, don't think too much Interfere in her choice and disturb the peace in her heart.

Xi Zhu agreed, and withdrew to write back to Yun Dan.

In Shen's mansion, Shen Mengyi also received Pei Jingxuan's letter, and when she unfolded the paper, her goal was still the simple and elegant handwriting, just like his person.Although such a gentle and peaceful man is not as good as Lu Ce, he must still be able to make Wenrou slowly fall in love with him, right?
A smile floated on the corner of her lips, she tore up the letter after reading it, sprinkled it into the flowing water under the bamboo bridge, watched the pieces of paper float up and down, drifted away along the flowing water of the stream, and stood silently again. After a while, he turned and left.When passing by Tianxiang Pavilion where Shen Mengan lived, she suddenly remembered that the second elder brother was still being grounded by her father, and she must be feeling bored, so she had better gossip with him and play a game of chess.

Walking outside the door of Tianxiang Pavilion, Shen Mengyi saw that the door was closed in broad daylight, and felt a little puzzled. Then she turned her head and looked around, and found that there was no maidservant or servant waiting outside the door, and she was hesitating whether to knock or not. Shen Mengan's voice was heard faintly in the room.

"Okay, okay, I sent everyone away, can you say it now?" Shen Mengan's voice was full of impatience and anxiety.

"Father wants me to marry someone, please help me find a way!"

This voice seems to belong to Princess An Ning?Shen Mengyi was taken aback when she heard it, she took a step back unconsciously, and wanted to leave, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity and wanted to continue listening. She reconfirmed that there was no one around, then stepped lightly, and covered her body in front of the window under a flowering tree.

"Marry? Okay! Hurry up and marry, the sooner the better!" In the room, Shen Mengan said with a gleeful smile, "This way you won't be able to bother me from now on..."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Anning stepped on him unexpectedly, causing him to cry out in pain. He hugged his feet and jumped to the chair. After sitting down, he gasped for a long time before raising his eyes and staring. Princess An Ning said: "If you say you can't move your hands and feet, why do you count your words?"

"Who made you take pleasure in others' misfortunes!" Princess An Ning's eyes were wider than his.

Shen Meng'an was very helpless, since she was captured from Tianfo Temple that day, his life was extremely miserable, not only would he continue to be grounded, but he would also have to play with this princess who came to him from time to time, but he turned to his father Complained, and was reprimanded, telling him not to disobey the princess.If it weren't for the fact that the princess came to the door and he could go out with her for a breath of fresh air, he would have been impatient to talk to her.

Princess An Ning saw Shen Mengan's face was somber and silent, so she had to apologize, "Okay, I swear I won't step on you again, is this okay? Help me find a way!"

I have never seen anyone apologize so confidently and without any sincerity. After all, Princess Anning has said this so many times, but she has never been able to do it. Believe her?Sows can climb trees!
Shen Mengan said helplessly: "Your marriage is His Majesty's idea, what can I do? I think you just listen to him and marry obediently." As he spoke, he stroked his chin and secretly sympathized with the guy who was going to marry the princess I don't know how long that person can live under her abuse after bringing such a violent princess who can't be beaten or scolded home.

"No!" Princess An Ning said categorically, "I heard that after getting married, you have to abide by many rules, and you can't sneak out to play again. If I don't live for two years, I will be suffocated to death!"

This seems to be the opposite, right?Shen Mengan glanced at her amusedly, and asked, "After talking for a long time, who is so unlucky to marry you?"

"I'm unlucky, okay?" Princess An Ning sat down on the chair, picked up a candied cherry on the table and threw it into her mouth, muttering, "You know that person, the last time I met him in Tianfo Temple The grandson of General Weiyuan, Lu Ce."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mengan immediately jumped up from her chair and exclaimed, "Lu Ce!"

At this moment, Shen Mengyi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was also shocked, bit her lower lip hard, and managed not to yell out, but her heart was already in a mess, how could it be Lu Ce?How could it be Lu Ce!

Shen Mengan was surprised for a while, thinking of the gentleness of dying from smallpox, her brows gradually furrowed, and finally sat back on the chair, and said lightly: "That's very good, congratulations on marrying a son-in-law who is talented in both civil and military affairs."

"What do you mean!" Princess An Ning was a little annoyed again, "If you don't help me find a way, you always say such sarcastic remarks."

"I'm just telling the truth." Shen Mengan's lips curved into a sneer and said: "Anyway, you will marry someone sooner or later, Lu Ce is very good, even my father always praises him, you can marry someone like him , is there any dissatisfaction?"

Princess Anning was finally irritated by his repeated gloating and cynicism, she slapped the table hard and stood up and said, "Are you really wishing that Ben Gong would get married soon?"

Although Princess An Ning usually has no princess airs, when she is really angry, she will call herself "Ben Gong". Is it annoying? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be as miserable as I am now!"

"Shen Meng'an——" Princess An Ning was so annoyed that she swept the tea bowl and fruit box on the table to the ground, and stepped on them twice, crushing all the fruits and candied pastries, and then said to him bitterly : "Tell you, I came to you to save face, and I don't bother to answer others begging me to say a word to him!"

"Then thank you princess for your kind eyes." Shen Mengan simply sang the whole set, stood up and bowed to her, but secretly guarded against her stepping on her feet again.

Who would have thought that Princess An Ning would stop stepping on him this time, she clenched her fist and punched him hard in the eye socket. If I take another step into your Shen residence in the future, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

Shen Mengan covered her eyes with her hands, her face was full of pain, and she still didn't forget to reply: "Respectfully send off Your Highness, if you don't come to the door again, I will burn incense right away—"

Shen Mengyi outside the door didn't expect the princess to come out as soon as she said it. It was too late to avoid it at this time, so she hid behind the flower tree. Fortunately, the trunk was very thick, and the princess didn't pay attention when she was angry. The maid who came out with her shouted loudly: "Where are people? Where are they going? Follow me back to the palace!"

Shen Meng'an was also shouting inside the door, "Shi Mo, where are you! Master's eyes are going to go blind, get out and get a doctor for me!"

With such a commotion, Shen Mengyi could no longer stand here, seeing the princess going further and further away, before the servants and servants came over, she quietly slipped back to her residence.Just walking, for some reason, she felt that her heart was congested and she couldn't breathe, so she had to slow down her pace in the end, and when her breath gradually became even, she couldn't help pulling out her veil, holding her face and sobbing softly.

If it was said that Lu Ce was forced to accept tenderness back then and she was only jealous, then after hearing Princess Anning's words just now, she was completely hopeless in her heart.She couldn't figure out why she liked Lu Ce so much, but in the end, she wasn't the one who could marry him?
The only solution now... the only solution now...

Shen Mengyi stopped crying, wiped away her tears and pondered in her heart for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the upper room.
