Chapter 797: Really Not Likeable
Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Maybe he is a weak scholar."
Shen Shuyi thought he was joking: "Once Xiao Tingshan gained power, his family members and friends rose to prominence. The people he recruited were all experts. Which weak scholar was so capable that he could take care of them all?"
Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows: "You do understand him."
Shen Shuyi turned her head to look at him, and met his beautiful and deep phoenix eyes. There was inquiry in the man's eyes. If she didn't know that no one would know about her past, Shen Shuyi would really think that he knew something.
"Yeah, are you jealous?" Shen Shuyi also laughed.
Xie Jingchi sneered lightly, held Shen Shuyi's hand, handed her the invitation, and walked straight into the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Although Xiao Tingshan is a prince, he has been wandering outside for many years. Now he has no support from his maternal family. In addition, he is weak and sickly. He has been reprimanded by Emperor Qianwu several times before. Therefore, although he is a prince now, most people do not think highly of him.
After all, a person who is not even sure how many days he can live might die before Emperor Qianwu, so how can he fight for that position?
But no matter how unpopular they are, no one would be willing to offend him over such a small matter.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince's mansion was bustling with people at this moment.
There were many guests coming and going, and they all spoke auspicious words.
There were no elders in the house, so Xiao Tingshan could only force himself to stay healthy and cheer himself up to greet everyone.
As the queens, Shen Jingyu and Princess Hanyang naturally had to show up.
Xiao Tingshan could not afford to offend either of them now, so both of them attended as the main wives, and one of them held a child in her arms.
Princess Hanyang was holding a boy, but the newborn, premature baby was twitching all the time, which made people really not like him. Besides, this child was not her own at all. She felt annoyed after holding him for a while and handed him to the nanny beside her.
Shen Jingyu was holding a girl, and she held her for a little longer. After all, this was her enemy's child, and it would also be her own child in the future.
She probably has no hope of having children in this life, and it is difficult for her to have her own children.
So... at this moment, holding this soft little person in my arms, the emotions are so complicated that they are hard to describe.
Lou Yulan, the biological mother of the two children, could not come out to meet guests because she was still in confinement. However, she was still worried, so she sent two maids to keep an eye on the situation.
In addition, although Madam Qin and her family have been reduced to poverty and demoted to commoners, they will never miss such a good opportunity to curry favor with the powerful.
But fortunately, both Lou Yulan and Shen Jingyu are blood relatives of the Qin family, so even though others look down on them, they can't say anything.
When Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi arrived, many guests were already seated at the banquet.
Perhaps he didn't expect her and Xie Jingchi to come. After seeing them, Xiao Tingshan could hardly maintain his gentle and peaceful expression.
He had hardly slept in the past two days. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could not help but think of his encounter with Wenren Zong.
He just felt like he was missing something, and no matter how he was around, he felt uncomfortable.
Not only that, some of the guests living in the Sixth Prince's Mansion also got the news and most of them left.
He spent a lot of money again, hoping to win over more experts, but now, it's ridiculous. He is a prince, but now his reputation is ruined and he has almost no one available under his command.
"Congratulations, Sixth Prince, on the birth of your baby boy." Shen Shuyi took the initiative to speak.
Xiao Tingshan's gaze fell on Shen Shuyi. She had changed her hairstyle into a woman's bun. Now, as she walked beside Xie Jingchi, her expression was less cold and more lively.
Xiao Tingshan forced a smile and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate the princess on her wedding yet."
After saying that, Xiao Tingshan turned his gaze to Xie Jingchi who was standing beside him, and said slowly: "This prince accepts the generous gift from Mr. Xie."
His face was pale, but the look he gave Xie Jingchi at that moment was filled with indescribable viciousness.
Shen Shuyi was a little surprised. After all, based on her understanding of Xiao Tingshan, it was not often that he would lose his composure like this and take off his hypocritical mask.
Xie Jingchi's expression was stern, but there was a hint of frivolity between his eyebrows: "I don't like to owe others, so it's just a courtesy. Your Highness Sixth Prince, don't take it to heart."
This time, Xiao Tingshan said nothing more.
In the past, he always felt that he might be able to convince Shen Shuyi or make her change her mind.
But now, he has given up this idea.
Xie Jingchi and Shen Shuyi, both deserve to die!
He will not let these two people go. One day, he will make them regret it and suffer unbearable pain!

After a brief exchange of greetings, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi looked at the child together.
Because he was not close to Shen Jingyu and Lou Yulan, and because Princess Hanyang hated him, Shen Shuyi just stood far away and did not come forward.
As soon as Xie Jingchi came in, Princess Hanyang's eyes fell on him. Seeing that a man like him was holding Shen Shuyi's hand all the time, she even broke several of his nails. She was both angry and jealous.
But no matter what she felt, Xie Jingchi acted as if he didn't see it and never even glanced at her from beginning to end.
Princess Hanyang felt very upset until a voice sounded beside her.
"My daughter is arrogant and flamboyant, and is really unlikable." Qin Xuerong stood beside Princess Hanyang and spoke slowly.
Princess Hanyang frowned and glanced at her: "Who the hell are you!"
Qin Xuerong's face froze slightly, and she continued, "I am just like the princess, I just can't stand her."
Princess Hanyang's face was gloomy, and she was a little impatient: "Don't be so smart, I have never said such a thing."
Qin Xuerong smiled and said, "That was my own wishful thinking. I thought that the princess wanted to get rid of her just like me. After all... the way she and Xie Jingchi were in love was really annoying."
After saying that, Qin Xuerong made a move to leave. Princess Hanyang turned her head, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "Stop!"
Qin Xuerong curled the corners of her lips, raised her head, and met Shen Jingyu's gaze not far away, and she suddenly felt a little more angry.
Her and Anger's plan was to ask Shen Jingyu for help.
But now she has been scared out of her wits and has no intention of participating at all. She even hopes that it will boost others' morale and destroy her own prestige. She warns her and Shen Jing'an not to seek death.
She was very angry, but there were so many people around and it was not easy to argue with her.
But if she missed this opportunity, she would probably hardly be allowed to go out again, so when she looked up and saw Princess Hanyang's hateful eyes, she immediately made a plan.
Shen Jingyu is unwilling to help her own brother, can she ask Princess Hanyang for help?
Princess Hanyang is of noble status and hates Shen Shuyi as well. If you want to get rid of Shen Shuyi, she will definitely be willing to help...
Qin Xuerong slowly turned around, and Princess Hanyang dismissed her attendants, looked at Qin Xuerong and said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
