The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

471 Investigating the Past (1)

Xuanyuan Ye looked at Shen Yijia and frowned.

The waiter came in with two sets of cutlery.

Bruiser was stunned the entire time. He had to rely on Shen Yijia to move.

After sitting down for a long time, he still found it unbelievable. Who were these people at this table? There were three princes, a princess, a lady, and a lord.

He felt that after this meal, he could brag about this for the rest of his life.

On Shen Yijia’s left was Xuanyuan Ziming. She glanced at him.

This glance made Xuanyuan Ziming’s heart turn cold. It was over, it was over. This time, he would suffer.

He noticed that Shen Yijia was staring at the table.

Xuanyuan Ziming waved away Zhu Zi who was serving him vegetables and personally picked up a spoon to scoop up a bowl of soup. He handed it to Shen Yijia with both hands. “I said something wrong just now. I apologize to the young lady.”

Could she beat him up more gently later?

Shen Yijia looked at the bowl of golden soup in his hand and swallowed.

She could consider sparing a punch.

Shangguan Yu smiled and introduced, “The Third Prince brought this here. I heard that he created it himself. It’s all thanks to him that we’re so lucky today. Sister-in-law, you can try it.”

He then instructed Lianshan, “Give that young master a bowl too.”

So that wicked thing was Qian Youde.

Shen Yijia was here for this, so she naturally would not stand on ceremony.

There were at least ten ingredients in the soup, none of which she had seen before.

Shen Yijia picked up the spoon and tasted it.

It was so fresh.

She narrowed her eyes in contentment.

The bowl of soup was quickly emptied. Shen Yijia looked up and was stunned. “Why are you looking at me? Eat.”

Would they be full just looking at her?

How strange!

Bruiser’s heart skipped a beat. “Oh my god, can you not be so fierce?” he thought.

Lord Jing suddenly laughed. “I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be such an interesting person. In the future, you can often go to my residence to talk to the princess consort. No matter what, you’re still sisters.”

“Sure!” Shen Yijia agreed without thinking.

Over the past two days, the citizens of the capital had been discussing the Shen family’s matters over dinner. She did not believe that Lord Jing did not know about her relationship with Shen Ruyun.

She did not know if Lord Jing was stupid or if he did not care about his consort at all.

The interest in Lord Jing’s eyes intensified. He picked up the wine in his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Shangguan Yu frowned and was about to say something.

Shen Yijia turned to look at him and asked politely, “Can I have another bowl?”

One bowl was not enough!

Shangguan Yu was speechless.

He reached out and scooped a bowl for Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Actually, I can do it myself.”

“Consort Jing’s sister? Isn’t the second daughter of the Shen family this person in front of us?” Princess Changle suddenly said.

It was actually very inappropriate to mention this at this time. After all, among the people present, Lord Jing was somewhat related to this matter.

If not for this, the emperor would have given him the job of entertaining the envoys of the Wu Kingdom.

Because of the Shen family, that job would not fall to him.

Princess Changle paused for a moment before continuing, “Although there are different opinions among the commoners, I feel that filial piety is the most important thing. Even if we don’t talk about the truth, Second Miss Shen shouldn’t forget the kindness of raising her.”

She almost said that Shen Yijia was ungrateful.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Alright, so she just wanted to look good in front of Lord Jing.”

Her words made everyone look at Shen Yijia again.

Shen Yijia took the time to look up at her. She was a typical oval-faced beauty, but she was not as likable as the princess beside her.

Thinking that this princess was the daughter of the beautiful uncle, Shen Yijia’s gaze paused on Xuanyuan Ye’s face for a moment before quickly retracting.

They clearly didn’t look alike at all.

She continued to bury her head in the soup, completely ignoring Princess Changle.

Princess Changle frowned unhappily. “The women of Great Xia are so rude.”

Shen Yijia swallowed the food in her mouth and pointed at herself. “Are you talking to me?”

“Could there be a second woman from Great Xia here?”

Princess Changle’s face was filled with disdain.

Shen Yijia said, “Oh.”

She picked up the bowl and gulped down the rest of the soup. She took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table.

Everyone inexplicably understood what this piece of silver meant. It was meant to pay for the food.

After paying, Shen Yijia stood up and bowed to Shangguan Yu. “I’m full. You can continue, I’ll be off.”

Bruiser was furious at Princess Changle’s words. When he heard Shen Yijia say that she was leaving, he quickly followed.
