This indeed seems like sothing Shen Hua could do.
Wei Yingying was considering for her, and inevitably spoke with a heavy heart and earnestness.
"Counting the years, I am older than you. Although you have your own opinions, so matters still need soone to step in and guide."
Shen Hua looked at her expressionlessly.
"What kind of person is Marquis Cui? Is he soone you can play with in the palm of your hand? You sure are audacious! Let’s not even talk about returning to Fengzhou City, even if you change your na and hide, he could dig three feet into the ground to find you."
Shen Hua continued to be expressionless.
Seeing her impervious deanor, Wei Yingying beca anxious.
"Do you know what will happen if he finds you?"
"The young n in the stories are all about revenge and torture; they would lock you in a dark room that never sees the light of day all year round and bind you with iron chains as thick as your arm. Tell , aren’t you afraid?"
Shen Hua remained silent.
"Of course, Marquis Cui, being such a bright and decent person, certainly wouldn’t be so rciless and mad, but he is the Minister of Ministry of Justice. Just one of the thods he uses on criminals, if applied to you, your delicate skin and tender flesh wouldn’t stand a chance."
"I’ve seen it with my own eyes these days; he has been exceptionally kind to you. Shouldn’t you cherish the person before you?"
As she spoke, she seed to rember sothing.
Thinking of Yingwu being here, she hurriedly pulled Shen Hua into a corner.
"Or is it that..."
She paused, lowering her voice.
"I know you had an engagent before; are you still hung up on that?"
"Hung up? A completely diocre man. Does it count as being hung up if I wish he’d reincarnate sooner rather than later?"
Wei Yingying was lost in her own thoughts: "Shen Hua, aren’t you afraid of death? How can you still dare to provoke Marquis Cui like this?"
Yingwu’s eyes widened.
Before Wei Yingying could express her disapproval, Shen Hua had had enough. The girl’s face was tense as she got ready to head towards the carriage.
Wei Yingying hurried after her, blocking her path.
"Did I say sothing wrong? Why are you ignoring again? Only Marquis Cui spoils you so!"
"Your stupidity, it’s always so rich with imagination."
Wei Yingying: ???
Shen Hua stopped and suddenly added gloomily.
"Even trying to entertain it seems redundant."
Wei Yingying: ...
She was very sad.
Two close girlfriends, one gentle one had left, leaving behind the one who would occasionally scold her.
But what saddened her even more was that the one who scolded her was also leaving.
She even sincerely lanted that why every word Shen Hua uttered could strike at her soul, and she couldn’t help but want to record every word, then turn around and scold Wei Zhuzhu.
She didn’t give way, using both reason and emotion to express her thoughts.
"But if you leave Shengjing, what should I do if I miss you?"
"Fengzhou City is so far away. You’re an impatient person; I bet when I send letters, you won’t reply to a single one!"
"Besides—"
Shen Hua maintained a smile: "Speak human language."
Wei Yingying gave her a glance, speaking faster: "If my good fortune runs out and I have no more money, with you gone, who will I borrow from then?"
Shen Hua scoffed.
She knew it!!
"No money?"
"You go to the Third Prince Mansion, throw a few temper tantrums at him, or cry poor, if he cares about you, he will move mountains of gold and silver for you."
Wei Yingying didn’t believe a word of this.
She pursed her lips: "Even though he is my future husband, there’s sothing I have to say."
"You really think too highly of him."
Shen Hua: ...Truly, ignorance is bliss.
"I don’t expect him to accomplish anything in this life; being with him is just how it is. Neither of us can disdain the other, we’ll just muddle along together."
Shen Hua squinted her eyes, she could hardly imagine whether Wei Yingying would be more delighted by ten percent or more irritated by one layer upon knowing that Ji Teng’s behavior was all an act.
If she hadn’t taken Ji Teng to heart, she would likely be walking with a spring in her step, flaunting it everywhere. But if Ji Teng was in her heart, being deceived for so long, turned around like a fool, it must be... a taste of Ji Teng’s own dicine.
That scene must be quite amusing.
"By the way, when are you setting off?"
Shen Hua said: "I reckon in a few days."
"Have you ntioned it to Marquis Cui?"
The brows of a serene Shen Hua slowly furrowed: "Not yet."
She was still struggling with how to bring it up to Cui Yun.
After all... if the issues in Fengzhou weren’t resolved, she feared she might not be able to return anyti soon.
On their way back to Shengjing City, the two shared a carriage. Not long after entering the city, the carriage was stopped midway.
It was an excited voice.
"Shen!"
Ji Huo called everyone he saw a ’Shen’.
"Yo, Wei is here too."
Flush with silver, he was out buying costics for his concubine. But unexpectedly, he ran into these two.
He spoke from atop his horse.
"You missed quite the event yesterday behind Zou Residence! You absolutely have to hear about it from ."
"Looking at embroidery? What embroidery! Co on, co on, I’ll treat you to a drink!"
"It is so of the finest wine."
He was quite proud: "I’m paying with silver! I’ve got plenty of money! Would I even let you spend your own? You must really look down on ."
Soon, the group made their way to First-tier Sky Restaurant.
Shen Hua wasn’t too clear on the details of what happened behind Zou Residence, so she, propping up her chin, listened eagerly to the gossip.
Not to ntion Wei Yingying.
In order to highlight his bravery, Ji Huo could not help but exaggerate his words.
"You have no idea what a scene it was. Even the bed couldn’t withstand what those two were up to, it collapsed."
"The whole affair, from beginning to end, I was stirring the pot! In the end, I am very disappointed in Xie Xun and Cui Yun, one slipping away early, the other standing there doing nothing! No loyalty at all! It’s a good thing I went."
Shen Hua: ...
Wei Yingying believed it, she even started seeing Ji Huo in a new light.
Ji Huo poured wine for the two of them and spoke with a suggestion of mystery.
"I’ll let you in on a little secret."
Wei Yingying held her breath: "Go on."
"I sneaked over to Duke Wei Mansion last night to eavesdrop."
"Wei Xiheng was lying in bed, completely immovable. The doctor said he’ll never ’rise to the occasion’ again. As soon as people left, he, a grown man, cried at night like a cat. Hahahaha."
Shen Hua frowned slightly: "Why didn’t you call for such a delightful occasion?"
Wei Yingying: "Right! I was free too."
Hearing their words, Ji Huo inexplicably felt guilty.
"Then I’ll go again tonight, will you join ?"
As he spoke, he felt his tone lacked the leadership vigor of the Four People Gang.
Ji Huo slamd the table: "Alright, I’ll call Ji Ge later, and the four of us will strike out together."
Wei Yingying pondered: "What if we get discovered—"
Shen Hua with feigned seriousness: "What are you talking about? With the Princely Heir here, can’t he protect us? Miss Wei, if you underestimate the Princely Heir, I absolutely won’t stand for it."
Ji Huo: !!!
"Don’t be afraid!"
He said with no small amount of pride: "What if the Wei Family catches us? So what if we go there to cause a scene? Would Duke Wei dare object?"
"In my opinion, if Wei Xiheng is a real man. He should get up from the bed and co out to et us."
