Chapter 283: The Winds Are Rising!
"Really?"
Mrs. Zeng looked at her youngest son, then at Yuan Bao, still somewhat undecided in her heart.
In Mrs. Zeng’s view, it was Sheng Xueyi who harmed her eldest grandson.
"Mother, what good would it do me to deceive you about such a thing?"
Yuan Yindi was also very helpless.
Mrs. Zeng snorted and said, "How do I know you’re not just comforting me?"
"Why would I?"
Yuan Yindi rolled her eyes.
...
The Shen Family certainly couldn’t associate closely with Sheng Xueyi.
The Wei Family is currently at the forefront of controversy!
Not to mention Yuan Bao previously said that she and Sheng Xueyi’s fortunes didn’t match. Even without these issues, the Shen Family couldn’t get too close to Sheng Xueyi.
The only reason to partner with Sheng Xueyi in opening a shop is simply because the cake is really delicious.
Shen Family has always been very picky about pastries, but the cream cake made by Sheng Xueyi tastes great to her. Even with her finicky taste, she likes this cream cake, proving it’s truly delicious.
If that’s the case, why not partner up?
After all, business is just business.
The Shen Family wouldn’t form deep ties with Sheng Xueyi over such a small business. Instead, she could take this opportunity to learn more about Sheng Xueyi.
As the art of war states, know yourself and your enemy to win a hundred battles.
Shen Family’s thoughts were entirely unknown to Sheng Xueyi.
After leaving Yuan Bao’s birthday party, Sheng Xueyi didn’t return to Qianyang City in the Capital but stayed at the mansion next to the Yuan Family.
In Sheng Xueyi’s view, as long as her partnership with the Shen Family in opening a shop succeeds, she would have reliable backing.
At this time, she already knew her father wanted to send her to the Fourteenth Prince, even if she couldn’t become the main wife, being a secondary wife would do.
Her uncaring father never considered her interests from beginning to end.
However, because of this matter, Sheng Lu and Su Fu’s attitudes towards Sheng Xueyi changed significantly, and even the Sheng Family people who admire the strong and disparage the weak treated Sheng Xueyi with much more respect.
Within the grand mansion, the most common behavior is to switch sides.
And Sheng Xueyi felt nothing for the Fourteenth Prince.
Even if she obtained the main wife position, she wasn’t very willing.
The royal family means trouble.
Princes, certainly can’t have only one woman.
As a transmigrator, Sheng Xueyi inherently desired a mutually dedicated love that lasts forever.
But this Fourteenth Prince obviously couldn’t meet her demands.
Now, if she could connect with the Wei Family, she might escape her cage and control her own life.
With these thoughts, Sheng Xueyi was very attentive to the cake shop collaboration with the Shen Family.
...
As Sheng Xueyi was looking forward to the future, her return to Qianyang City had already reached the ears of the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince immediately prepared a generous gift to be sent to the Sheng Family.
The result was that the gift-bearer brought back displeasing news for the Fourteenth Prince: Sheng Xueyi had left Qianyang City again, heading to Yunyang City.
With the Fourteenth Prince’s status, it was easy to find out Sheng Xueyi’s purpose in Yunyang City.
"Mao Shenggong, do you think she really went just to attend a little girl’s birthday?"
The Fourteenth Prince looked at his attending eunuch, his expression serious.
"Your Highness, should I investigate further?"
Mao Shenggong responded, extremely respectfully.
"Investigate!"
After a brief contemplation, the Fourteenth Prince replied.
The woman he fixed his gaze on was destined to be his woman alone. If anyone overestimated themselves, he wouldn’t mind sending them to an early reincarnation.
