Chapter 120 - 118 Will sister bless me and the Crown Prince?
What is the earth-shattering secret about Shen Yinning?
Shen Xinghan squinted his eyes, as if weighing the value of this secret.
After a while, he confirmed that Zhang Cuichun really couldn’t see the dagger in his hand, and only then did he signal his men to rescue her.
The next day, at Shen Guogong Mansion.
Sure enough, Shen Yunxi invited many young ladies to the house, some were already married, while others were still unmarried, but without exception, they were all people Shen Yinning had offended in the past.
Each of them eagerly awaited Shen Yinning’s arrival, wanting to see whether she had aged or become ugly after three years of exile.
The plum blossom banquet was set in the warm pavilion of the garden.
Lu Qianqian was also at the banquet, her face full of gossip: "Yesterday, while accompanying my mother-in-law in the palace, I heard that Shen Yinning returned to the Capital. I was shocked for a long time. I thought she would never return to the Capital in this lifetime! But speaking of which, she used to be so arrogant and domineering, but who would’ve thought she’d end up marrying an insignificant Eighth Rank official? Tut tut, I bet she feels it’s worse than death now. If I were her, I’d have no face to show myself."
"This royal sister of mine has never been ashamed, Qianqian. How could you compare her to yourself?" Shen Yunxi peeled open an orange segment, recalling what Zhang Cuichun told her last night, and her smile deepened, "But sister is also a pitiable person. When you see her later, don’t bully or make fun of her."
The ladies all agreed, but weren’t sincere about it.
If Shen Yunxi really intended to protect Shen Yinning, there would be no reason to host this plum blossom banquet today.
