Cousin?

Shen Jingyi was slightly curious.

"What's the matter, what I said is true," Chen Ying raised her chin, "My ninth brother is both civil and military, and the six arts of a gentleman are not a top one." ”

Wen Xian pursed her lips, leaned into Shen Jingyi and said, "Don't pay attention to him, our cousin is much better than her ninth brother." ”

Shen Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "What are you talking about, is it Xie Chen?" ”

"Of course!" Wen Xian smiled and said softly: "You will know when you see him, anyway, he must be better than her ninth brother." ”

Shen Jingyi was noncommittal.

She hadn't seen Xie Chen, even in her previous life, she had only heard of it. In the high-door mansion of the Jiang family, she is just a bird in a cage, and she will not even go out of the yard unless necessary.

Occasionally went out, and after meeting Jiang Hua once and being angrily reprimanded back to the courtyard by him, she stopped going out.

Thinking about it now, at that time, if she left the Jiang Mansion in desperation and went to find Xie Chen, with his power at that time, although it was not as good as the Dingyuan Mansion, she should at least be able to help her!

It's a pity that at that time, she only felt that the world saw her as a watery poplar flower, a woman who seduced her cousin. Because of this, she didn't have the courage to step out of the Jiang Mansion and endure the accusations and scolding of the world.

Thinking of this, she smiled self-deprecatingly and covered her eyes, "Cousin, he is indeed very good. ”

Hearing her say this, Wen Xian smiled and narrowed her eyes, and Chen Ying pouted, muttering something in her mouth.

Soon, the maids came in to clean everyone's hands, and then plates of delicate dishes were laid out one after another. For a while, the hall was filled with the smell of food.

There is a lotus leaf chicken on every table, which smells fragrant and looks light, but I don't know how it tastes.

"This lotus leaf chicken is our family's specialty, you can try it in a while." Chen Ying pointed to the dishes and said to them.

At this time, it suddenly quieted down, everyone looked up, and Xu Jinli walked slowly with the maid Qin'er. She glanced around, saw Shen Jingyi and them, and walked in their direction.

Chen Ying felt a headache.

Wen Xian felt a toothache.

Shen Jingyi, on the other hand, glanced at it lightly, and when Xu Jinli was only a few steps away from them, she turned around and sat down at the table next to them.

Seeing this, Chen Ying and Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Jinli sat down and raised her eyes to sweep everyone, and said coldly: "What, am I not welcome to come?" ”

The faces of the people froze, some laughed, and some turned their faces away silently.

"Where, why did the county lord of Zhenjing come, I just had someone to invite you! It's just that your maid said you were eating elsewhere, so you won't come. ”

When Xu Jinli saw Miss Chen Twelve, she nodded, "I didn't want to come over, but I want to come here again." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Miss Chen Twelve smiled: "Then since you are here, let's try these dishes, they are all light, just right for the taste of this day." ”

Xu Jinli nodded, quite giving her face, only to see her eyes sweep, saw Shen Jingyi, and opened her mouth to say: "You Chen family really invite everyone, those who can't be on the stage, can even sit here." ”

Everyone was shocked when she said this, and they all looked at Shen Jingyi, some of them recognized her, and they had seen it once or twice, and they couldn't help but put on a good show.

Sitting on the other side, Shen Ningxiang and Shen Minru, who were a little far away, were stunned, Shen Minru just wanted to get up but was pulled by Shen Ningxiang, "What is the third sister going to do, that is the county lord of Zhenjing." ”

Who doesn't know the name of the lord of Zhenjing?

"But she obviously went for the second sister, we are sisters, a family, can we ignore it?"

"You're stupid, you have to look at people if you want to manage it!"

Shen Minru bit her lip, at this time, Xu Jinli was already competing with Shen Jingyi.

"What does the county lord mean by this, is it because Cousin Jiang Hua helped me in the palace and gave me a box of medicine, do you think I seduced my cousin and robbed my cousin from you?" Shen Jingyi heard everyone gasp, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and continued: "I can only say that I, Shen Jingyi, am sitting upright, innocent and innocent with my cousin, and have no selfish feelings, if you don't believe it, you can ask your cousin in person." ”

She turned her gaze to her angry eyes, "It's just that in the future, you will not target me like this in front of people and slander me again." ”

"I slandered you?" Xu Jinli sneered, "You Shen Jingyi dare to say that Jiang Hua is just a brother and sister to you?" ”

"This, shouldn't the county lord ask his cousin? Anyway, I'm unselfish towards my cousin, oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the county lord hasn't passed the door yet, and now it's just a nominal marriage contract. In fact, that means that she is not qualified to ask Jiang Hua about it.

This kind of thing is said so bluntly, how can it be as simple as a slap in the face?

I'm afraid that Xu Jinli will be completely offended.

Gradually, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little solemn, and the gaze that looked at Shen Jingyi became more sympathetic.

"Shen Jingyi, why are you talking to me like this?" Xu Jinli's fingers trembled slightly with anger.

She was indeed a little annoyed and angry at this time, because this was the first time someone had told her that she and Jiang Hua were only nominally married, and she was not qualified to care about his affairs at all.

If so, then what is everything I have done for him all these years?

Become the laughing stock of others?

No.

Shen Jingyi didn't speak again, but her silence and the expression on her face at this time were undoubtedly humiliating in Xu Jinli's opinion.

She slapped the table and stood up.

Seeing this, Qin'er, who was standing in the pile of maids, hurriedly walked over, and at the same time, the sharp-eyed pearls also followed.

Shen Minru brushed away Shen Ningxiang's hand and walked to their side, she looked at Xu Jinli and blessed her body, "I've seen the county lord, I don't know what my second sister has offended, and I still hope that the county lord Haihan, but this is a matter that hinders her reputation, and the county lord still thinks twice." ”

"What are you to dare to teach me a lesson?" Xu Jinli swept his eyes coldly.

"She's not a thing, she's just my third sister, and the third lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion." Shen Jingyi said leisurely: "The county lord is always worried that someone will rob your cousin with you, if you review what you have done first, you are like this, even your cousin will not like it." ”

"What did you say—"

"What I said is the truth, can't the county lord understand it?" She looked at her, and just her appearance pressed her hard, "The county lord is like this, it will only discourage men, cousin, and he won't like you." ”

Many people curled the corners of their mouths because of his words, they had long wanted to say this, and they all understood this truth, but they didn't dare to say it so bluntly because of their identity.

Among them, there was a woman who quietly shed tears, and her sister was the one who was thrown into the river by Xu Jinli and did not survive that winter.
