12 Chapter 12
The backyard of the Shen family, under a corridor.
"Madam, you said that the young ladies of the Cui family are really here to visit the sick? Why do I think it's not good? Coming out of the front hall and bypassing the corridor, the smile on Shen Feng's face disappeared, he frowned and turned his head to look in the direction of the main hall, and said.
Bai Rui was thinking about something, and was stunned when she heard the words, and asked him, "Why do you think so?" β
Shen Feng said with a straight face: "Because I know our daughter, this is not her attitude towards her friends, I don't think my daughter wants to see them, and the fake smile will catch up with her father." β
Bai Rui: "......."
She was slightly relieved, and said that he really saw something.
"No matter what their purpose is, their daughter can't suffer a loss."
Shen Feng was still a little worried: "But after all, it's surnamed Cui." β
can overwhelm people in terms of identity.
"This is our territory, even the Cui family, we can't bully the businessmen here, besides, my daughter has the ability to protect herself, so there is no need to worry, besides, I also asked Ah Zhao to come over as soon as possible." Bai Rui didn't care much and said: "If the master is really not at ease, go and check if his daughter shows them the way." β
Shen Feng's eyes lit up: "Madam is right, I'll let people check." β
Shen Feng turned to leave, and Bai Rui stood in place for a long time until Su Sleeve came over.
"Madam, Miss asked the slave maid to invite the cook of the Shanye Beijing cuisine in Gusu Restaurant." Su Sleeve said with a bit of thoughtfulness: "It seems to be from Yejing Cui's family..."
Bai Rui's face tightened.
The Yejing Cui family only has the lineage.
What is the purpose of their approach to businessmen?
"Ma'am, do you want people to keep an eye on these people?"
"Not necessarily." Bai Rui's expression was slightly cold: "We don't know their purpose yet, don't startle the snake first." β
"There you go."
Su Sleeve bowed respectfully: "Yes." β

In the tea room, Shen Yunshang and Zhao Chenghuan sat opposite each other, and Yuwei was silently boiling tea on the side.
Zhao Chenghuan glanced at the tea leaves and hooked his lips slightly: "Let Miss Shen break the bank, this is much more valuable than the few cups of Longjing before the rain of this princess." β
Shen Yunshang smiled lightly: "Greeting Your Highness, you should naturally come up with the best." β
"Yes, you are not short of money." Zhao Chenghuan: "The big gold boxes sent by Gongzi Pei are enough to buy a lot, but..."
Shen Yunshang quietly waited for her words.
"The truth that wealth is not exposed, you and Pei Gongzi don't seem to understand much?"
Shen Yunshang was silent, and then raised his eyes a little puzzled: "Compared with the Cui family, one of the four great families in Yejing, these are not in sight, and in the eyes of the princess, they are even more insignificant, why should we hide them?" β
A few traces of cold light immediately appeared in Zhao Chenghuan's eyes.
Was it something she didn't really know, or had she already guessed their purpose?
Now, what the royal family lacks most is money!
"Pei Zhaozhao carried a few boxes to me at two ends in three days, I didn't feel anything wrong for a while, I have to be reminded by Her Royal Highness the Princess today, and I will pay attention to it in the future." Shen Yunshang said, "Let him send it from the back door." β
Zhao Chenghuan: "......"
No wonder the imperial brother has to Pei Xingzhao.
"But speaking of which, I don't know if I can ask the princess to solve my doubts?"
Shen Yunshang looked at Zhao Chenghuan with a smile.
Zhao Chenghuan seemed to smile: "Miss Shen said to listen to it." β
Shen Yunshang turned his head to look at the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard, his eyes stayed on Cui Jiuheng for a few breaths, and then turned to look at Zhao Chenghuan: "Cui Gongzi Zhilan Yushu, gentle and noble, there is such a peerless person around the princess, how can she still look down on the fiancΓ© of my first merchant girl?" β
When the words fell, someone in the pavilion put down the teacup heavily, but Shen Yunshang didn't look at it, only lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.
Then she didn't seem to notice Zhao Chenghuan's sudden cold breath, and continued: "It's that the princess doesn't like Cui Gongzi like this, the son of the Yejing family is like a cloud, how could the princess fall in love with Pei Xingzhao?" β
Zhao Chenghuan looked at Shen Yunshang carefully, and saw that she didn't seem to have another deep meaning, so he turned his head and looked at the pavilion: "The word love, how to say it clearly?" β
When she said this, she had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
After a few breaths of silence in the tea room, Zhao Chenghuan slowly turned his head, his face had completely sunk, with a bit of domineering spirit: "This princess likes this, can't she?" β
"Or... Do you want to fight with Princess Ben? β
Shen Yunshang put down the teacup unhurriedly and smiled: "I didn't mean that." β
Zhao Chenghuan heard that there was something behind her, so he didn't say anything, just looked at her sharply, and sure enough, he saw Shen Yunshang raise his head slightly, and his voice was gentle and soft: "Because, Pei Xiaozhao was originally mine." β
"He was born as my man, and death as my ghost, and whoever wants him must step over my corpse."
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Chenghuan's sharp eyes.
After a long time, she said, "The last time I saw Miss Shen, Miss Shen was not as imposing as she is now. β
"The princess is going to rob my fiancΓ©, what else do I have to show weakness, as the only daughter of the richest family in Gusu, what does the princess think I should be?" Shen Yunshang's words did not leak, and he threw the question to Zhao Chenghuan.
Zhao Chenghuan looked at her for a long time and smiled lightly: "If it weren't for your fiancΓ© who fell into the eyes of this princess, we might still be friends." β
Without waiting for Shen Yunshang to speak, she smiled and said coldly: "Shen Yunshang, do you know the fate of disobeying this princess." β
"I can't afford the princess's words, I just don't agree to give my fiancΓ© to the princess, how can I talk about disobedience?" Shen Yunshang blinked, leaned forward slightly, and said in a soft tone: "I know that Her Royal Highness the princess is powerful, but if the three families of Shen Bai and Pei resist with all their might, how can they splash a few waves of water among the people, if the news reaches Yejing, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of Her Royal Highness the princess." β
Zhao Chenghuan's face changed slightly.
If Shen Bai and Pei's three families resist with all their might, it will be more than a few water waves.
"Are you threatening Princess Ben?"
"Don't dare." Shen Yunshang: "I just want to live my own life, and the princess also knows that I am the only daughter of the Shen family, and I am used to eating alone, and I will never allow anyone to snatch things from me." β
"I'd rather be broken than broken, this is my answer to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Zhao Chenghuan looked at Shen Yunshang with an indistinguishable expression, and after a while, she said: "Even if you don't care about the hundreds of lives of the Shen family, how do you think that the Pei family will do such a thing for you." β
Shen Yunshang smiled lightly: "The Pei family is not only for me, but also for the only son of the Pei family, the princess doesn't know yet, although Pei Zhaozhao is an idle street slicker, but Uncle Pei is such a lone seedling, who dares to fight his idea, then he can't do it all?" β
"And..."
Shen Yunshang's smile faded, and he stared straight at Zhao Chenghuan: "There are thousands of lives in the Shen Pei family, are Your Royal Highness the princess sure you can afford it?" β
"Or is it that His Royal Highness the Second Prince can afford it?"
Zhao Chenghuan finally determined that Shen Yunshang really knew something.
There was a bit of anger in her eyes, and she said word by word: "Shen Yunshang, do you know what you are talking about?" β
"As I said, I'm used to eating alone, and whoever wants to snatch something from me will die and bite off a piece of his meat." Shen Yunshang didn't let go, his eyes didn't dodge to meet Zhao Chenghuan, and gritted his teeth.
The two confronted each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between winning and losing for a while.
Yuwei knelt beside her with a calm expression, but her heart was already full of excitement.
Miss domineering!
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Miss, the luncheon is ready." β
Shen Yunshang didn't say anything, and Yuwei got up and went out.
In the tea room, the tense momentum also weakened, and Zhao Chenghuan smiled unreachingly: "It's this princess who underestimates you." β
Shen Yunshang instantly retracted his aura, took the embroidered handkerchief and gently pressed the corners of his lips, and became the Miss Shen who had just recovered from a serious illness, she seemed to smile sarcastically: "About, I'm just too selfish, and too desperate." β
But it's selfish and lifeless, and it's the hardest to deal with.
Zhao Chenghuan glanced at the figures who had already gotten up in the pavilion, and said meaningfully: "Then let's see, who can have the last laugh." β
Zhao Chengbei and Cui Jiuheng didn't know about this seemingly calm but tense confrontation in the tea room, only Pei Xingzhao, who had deep internal strength, listened to it a few percent, and took advantage of the gap between the seats, he touched Shen Yunshang's arm and said softly: "Amazing, Shen Shangshang." β
"I didn't expect me to be so important to you."
Shen Yunshang knew that he could hear it, so he wasn't surprised at all, but... She glanced at his waist: "Why are there so many strings of jade?" β
Didn't he just hang gold beads?
"Oh, I met Mu Huaiyi on the way here, and I told him that I came to see my rival, so he pulled the jade string around his waist to me and said that he would give me a faΓ§ade." Pei Xingzhao said.
Don't do it in vain, you can exchange a lot of money.
Shen Yunshang: "......"
People in Gusu know that there are two walking mountains in Gusu City, one is Pei Xingzhao, the golden mountain, and the other is Mu Huaiyi, the crystal clear jade mountain.
These two people were about brothers in their last life, and their hobbies are surprisingly identical.
"Oh yes, he was also here to visit the patient, but he gave me all the clothes halfway, and he felt that he couldn't see anyone, so he turned back and gave me the gift for me to bring to you." Pei Xingzhao continued.
Shen Yunshang's eyes lit up: "What about the gift?" β
"I've put it all in a gold chest."
Shen Yunshang: "... But I think according to his style, he should carry me a box full of jade, what about the box? β
It's worth a lot of money.
"That looks like it's the Mu family's stuff, how can you fool them."
Pei Xingzhao raised his chin in the direction of Zhao Chengbei and the others in front of him.
Shen Yunshang took a deep breath.
Put on airs!
Forget it, she will come to the door and ask for it herself.
Today is considered to have offended Zhao Chenghuan ruthlessly, and she has to hurry up and have enough money to seek asylum.
Fang Cai's words were just to bluff Zhao Chenghuan, she was afraid of death, and she would not be really stupid enough to only use the Shen family to fight with Zhao Chengbei.
