In Shen Shengge's memory, she was very fond of her fiancé Zhu Xiaohou. They were childhood sweethearts, but Zhu Xiaohou seemed to have always looked down on Shen Shengge. Therefore, Shen Shengge always followed Zhu Xiaohou. And Zhu Xiaohou He is handsome, noble, and surrounded by beauties, but Shen Shengge is afraid that he will be snatched away, so she jumps out and tries to find love for him.

Shen Shengge's reputation as arrogant, domineering, unruly and willful also arose from this.

The two have been engaged since childhood. Logically speaking, after Shen Shengge gets married, they can discuss marriage and marry into the marquis's house.

Putting aside whether Lord Zhu Xiaohou is a good match or not, Su Wu thought that in his previous life, he had killed his father and brother as well as tens of thousands of brothers in the Zhenyuan Army who had gone through life and death due to a wrong marriage. His heart had long been like a puddle of stagnant water, like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and it was impossible to make splashes again. .

She believes: A wise man never falls in love.

People were coming and going on the street, casting strange glances at the two of them. During the Lantern Festival, there were countless pairs of talented people and beauties like this.

"Isn't that Mr. Zhu Xiaohou and his followers?" the acquaintance Miss Qianjin said in disbelief.

He said bitterly, "Look, from head to toe, Shen Shengge is not worthy of the talented Zhu Xiaohou!"

After realizing the gazes of passers-by, Mr. Zhu Xiaohou began to deliberately keep a distance from Su Wunian. The two of them walked further and further apart, becoming strangers to each other.

"Cousin! Brother Zhu!" Shen Mengxi, who was chasing behind her, smiled like a flower.

The displeasure in Zhu Langshuo's eyes dissipated and the clouds of sadness dissipated. He reached out to touch Shen Mengxi's head and asked softly: "Xiao Mengxi, why are you here?"

"It's boring to follow grandma and the others around, so I'm here to chase you." When Shen Mengxi saw Zhu Langshuo, her eyes seemed to be shining and she was full of energy.

She turned around and smiled harmlessly at Su Wu Nian: "Cousin, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Before Su Wu Nian could speak, Zhu Langshuo took the lead and said with a gentle smile: "Of course not. She and I had nothing to talk about."

Contempt flashed across his eyes.

However, this fleeting emotion still could not escape Su Wu Nian's eyes, but she did not say anything.

"Wow~" Shen Mengxi inadvertently hugged Mr. Zhu Xiaohou's arm, pulled him past Su Wu Nian, and stopped outside the lantern shop, smiling like a flower, as if she was an innocent little girl at this moment, hugging her My sweetheart said, "Brother Zhu, what a beautiful lantern~"

"If you guess the riddle above, you can take it away." Shen Mengxi glanced at all the lanterns, pointed at the lantern in front of Su Wu Nian, shook Mr. Zhu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Well...Brother Zhu , you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I want that orange lantern! Please help me guess the riddle on it~"

Zhu Jian, who was following behind, looked at Shen Mengxi's shameless appearance and clenched his fists in his sleeves.

I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen such shameless people! In front of the eldest lady, she was flirting with her fiancé and getting entangled, ugh~

Do you think the eldest daughter of our family is dead?!

Looking at my eldest lady, her face is still calm. The eldest lady must be pretending to be calm, but she must feel uncomfortable at this moment.

"Miss, which lantern do you like? Mr. Zhu Xiaohou will definitely win one for you and give it to you. After all, you are his fiancée." The candle scissors made a loud sound, deliberately arousing the excitement of the lantern guessers and spectators. Pay attention, and when speaking, your eyes fell nakedly on Shen Mengxi's hand holding Lord Zhu Xiaohou's arm.

Everyone followed her gaze and all their eyes fell on Shen Mengxi's hand. It was meaningful. She could understand the situation with just one sentence. Onlookers liked this kind of after-dinner conversation the most.

Shen Mengxi felt the burning eyes and let go of her hand, having nowhere to put it.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Jian felt a little proud.

"I have always regarded little Mengxi as my younger sister, Shen Shengge, you won't even be jealous of your sister, right?" There was no concealed disgust in his eyes, and then he turned to Shen Mengxi and said softly, "You want this?" Are they orange lanterns?"

"Let me see."

Shen Mengxi looked flattered and put her hand around Master Zhu Xiaohou's arm again, "My cousin is naturally not that petty."

Everyone looked at Su Wu Nian with intriguing eyes, looking forward to her next move. However, Su Wu Nian casually admired the lanterns in front of her and did not take the two people seriously at all.

Everyone thought: She must have broken the pot and left it alone.

"Isn't this Shen Shengge?" A harsh voice came from the crowd, "Of course she doesn't dare to say anything, because she is not worthy of Mr. Zhu Xiaohou!"

"You are talking nonsense. How come our eldest lady is not worthy of Mr. Zhu Xiaohou?!" Zhu Jian was dissatisfied.

"It's true that the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups! The maids trained by those who have mothers but not mothers are so arrogant and do not know the rules!" Zhou Lingli said, sharp-tongued and aggressive, "Master is speaking. , do you have the right for your humble maid to interrupt?!"

"Zhou Lingli, after all, you are also a young lady from the Hou Mansion. You should understand other people's maids. It's not your turn to teach them a lesson." Su Wunian was trying to guess the lantern riddle on the topmost circulating lantern with a beautiful begonia painting, but Zhou Lingli was surprised. Disturbed the interest.

"As for whether I am worthy of Lord Zhu Xiaohou, it is not up to you to decide."

"If it spreads to the ears of the Wang family and the Shen family that I am born by my mother but not by my mother, your Zhou Lingli will offend these two aristocratic families. Does Mr. Zhou know?"

"You say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and animals of the same kind are divided into groups? I am the Queen Mother's cousin. Do you think that the Queen Mother's upper beam is not straight?"

After Zhou Lingli heard the last sentence, she turned pale with fright and quickly explained and denied, "No, that's not what I meant!"

"How dare you slander Su Shengren!" The people watching the excitement no longer watched the excitement, but began to accuse Zhou Lingli.

"Could it be that your Zhou family has a lot of resentment towards the Empress Dowager, which is why you had such an idea?"

"No, our Zhou family is loyal to the imperial court and has no disrespect whatsoever."

"I, I made a mistake, Shen Shengge, you know I didn't mean it..." Zhou Lingli was so frightened that she almost cried.

"Okay, Shen Shengge, I know Lingli doesn't mean it this way, so don't worry about it anymore." Mr. Zhu Xiaohou came out to smooth things over, "Which lantern do you like, I'll give it to you, so don't be angry."

In the past, when she was angry, she only needed a little coaxing and she would listen to her.

Su Wunian raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed at the lantern on the top.

"That's the leader of the lanterns." Someone exclaimed in surprise, "No one has figured out the lantern riddles on it for several years."

"Although new lanterns are replaced every year, the lantern riddles above are really difficult!"

Shen Mengxi looked up at Mr. Zhu Xiaohou with admiration, "Brother Zhu has learned a lot, he will definitely guess it!"
