Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 160 Crisis 4 lurks

Before Shen Shenshen could reply to Zhu Chutang, the fair-skinned young man could no longer hold back and stood up to salute.

"Miss Shen, my name is Hu Jiaxiu, you can call me Lan Ci."

"Master Lan Ci." Shen Shen saluted.

The purple-clothed youth also hurriedly said: "Second Miss Shen, this young master Qiao Shaoyu, the word is more talkative."

"Mr. Duoyan." He also bowed.

After the greetings, Shen Shen looked at Zhou Yiran, frowned slightly, and said, "Chang'an, are there any other young ladies from his mansion attending the banquet today?"

"Um..." Zhou Yiran said somewhat awkwardly: "This young master has not invited other women."

Shen Shenshen realized that he was too careless the day before. Because he had defeated Zhou Yunxi's plan, he was a little too proud that day and forgot to ask Zhou Yiran if there were any other ladies at the banquet. If Ziyuan, the jealous man, knew that he was the only woman present today, he would be furious.

"Since there are no other ladies, it is inconvenient for you to stay for long. Thank you Chang'an for the invitation. Bye." She bowed and turned to leave.

"Oh, my god, my god." Zhou Yiran stood up hurriedly: "I am sorry for not thinking carefully. Since you are here, just sit down and have a cup of tea, half a cup of tea, or even half a cup of tea."

Seeing Shen Shenshen turning around, he continued to explain: "The pavilion is spacious and not secretive. I promise not to go beyond the limit. Shen Shen, just half a cup of tea, okay?" His tone was already pleading.

Although the other three did not speak, they all looked at her.

Shen Shen looked at Zhou Yiran's pleading eyes and sighed inwardly. This looked very much like the little fanboy who loved her in her previous life, so she couldn't leave cruelly, otherwise Zhou Yiran would lose face in front of his friends. Besides, she couldn't make an enemy for herself.

"Okay. Let's drink half a cup of tea."

Zhou Yiran immediately revealed eight white teeth on his face. He flicked the non-existent dust on the mat beside him with his sleeve and pushed the mat to the side of Shen Shenshen: "Shen Shen, sit down."

Shen Shenshen did not hesitate and knelt on the mat.

Mr. Zhou Si diligently poured her tea and pushed all the desserts and snacks on the table to Shen Shen's table without paying any attention to the people around.

"Thank you." Shen Shen gave him a grateful smile.

"Hey, Zhou Changan, you're not nice. That's my meal."

"Just say more and order more. I'll pay for it."

The purple-clothed and talkative young master immediately smiled at Shen Shen and said, "Shen Shen, what kind of cakes do you like? This young master will order some for you."

The white-skinned Lanci Master was not to be outdone: "God, is the tea to your liking? If you don't like this tea, try another one."

Zhou Yiran looked at the two people's flattering faces with disdain and couldn't help asking, "Who was the dog just now?"

"Cough cough cough." They both cleared their throats at the same time to ease the embarrassment.

He thought to himself: Even if I have to be a dog today, I have to get to know Miss Shen Er, so that I can invite her to my banquet in the future and let other young masters see what a stunning beauty is.

If Shen Shenshen knew that after today she would be labeled as a "tool for showing off at banquets" by these men, would she go crazy?

Zhu Chutang looked at the attentive appearance of the few people and sneered in his heart. Yesterday, I felt that Zhu Yanxiao liked Shen Shenshen, the prince's concubine, very much. Why did she let her go to the man's appointment alone today? Aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening?

"Shenshen, brother didn't come with you today?" Zhu Chutang couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Yiran paused as he was holding up his chopsticks to pick up some pastries for Shen Shen.

The other two looked bewildered.

Shen Shen looked at the beautiful face that was four points similar to Ziyuan and said, "Zhu Qing, Ziyuan is Ziyuan, Shen Shen is Shen Shen. The prince and I are mostly together, but I also have my own friends."

"Brother, do you think so too?" Zhu Chutang asked back.

Shen Shenshen smiled and said, "What does Ziyuan think has to do with me?"

This was the first time Zhu Chutang heard a woman not take her husband's opinion as her priority. He couldn't believe how she could say such outrageous words. "Aren't you... already engaged?"

"Let me put it this way." She said seriously, "We got married because I, Ziyuan, and I like each other and live together. But I didn't sign a contract to sell myself to Ziyuan as a slave. I have friends and my own things to do."

Zhou Yiran's eyes lit up: "I understand what the God means. Even if you get married in the future, you can still meet me at the teahouse for tea."

"Hehe, Chang'an's understanding is indeed correct." She covered her mouth and laughed.

"Wait. Engaged to Ziyuan?" Young Master Duoyan suddenly realized: "Could it be Prince Zhu? Brother Zhuqing?"

"Yes. The man Shenshen is engaged to is my eldest brother." Zhu Chutang did not forget to add a word.

Duoyan was a little stunned, and said: "The person Shenshen is engaged to is Prince Zhu. This... There is no woman in Dongxiang who doesn't like Prince Zhu."

Shen Shenshen smiled and did not deny it. He had already witnessed Zhu Yanxiao's influence the day before. A headband was enough to drive the ladies crazy.

"Lan Ci, Duo Yan, Zhu Qing. Don't be discouraged." Zhou Yiran said, "It's just an engagement, not yet a wedding, so you can still cancel the engagement. There are many cases of engagements and then cancellations in the capital."

Zhu Chutang snorted, "Humph. Chang'an, you are so stupid. Shen Shenshen is the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate. What are the identities of the four of us? Bastards. There is a difference between legitimate and bastard. Will Marquis An marry his legitimate daughter to a bastard?"

The three people who had just ignited their hopes were poured a bucket of cold water by Zhu Chutang, which made them feel completely chilled.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more depressing.

Shen Shen was also watching her heart and didn't say much. This matter had nothing to do with her. If Zhu Yanxiao wasn't so handsome and spoiled her to the extreme, she wouldn't want to get married.

Suddenly, the elegantly dressed young men and ladies sitting at the eight-immortal table on the first floor became excited. The noisy voices in the main hall on the first floor broke the silence of the pavilion.

Zhou Yiran, Hu Jiaxiu and Qiao Shaoyu's eyes lit up. Although Zhu Chutang had a calm expression, he also leaned out half of his body to look downstairs. Zhou Yiran was even more excited and pointed at the main stage through the second-floor terrace and said, "God, look, Miss Mian'er is on stage."

A tall and thin woman in a white gauze dress, with a veil on her face, but her eyes were full of life. She was holding a guqin and sitting calmly on the stage. The stage was not big, only a few feet long. It was obvious that the stage was only prepared for Miss Mian'er to perform.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Shen Shenshen was also looking at the woman downstairs, and he felt that she intentionally looked up at him before playing the piano, with obvious hatred in her eyes.

It was strange. I had never seen her before. How could this woman named Mian'er hate me? And how did she know me?

The sound of the zither began, and the clear and melodious sound flowed out from the woman's fingers. Following the sound of the zither, everyone seemed to step into a lush green forest, glimpsing the gurgling stream and the faint singing of birds. The quiet and lively forest scenery slowly unfolded in front of everyone like a painting scroll.

The colorful lights in the hall passed through the several-meter-long stage like a galaxy and poured onto Mian'er. The stars moved and the world changed. She slightly opened her red lips and sang the prosperous scenery accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano. Every wisp was gentle and melodious. She looked back at him, and the haziness made people intoxicated.

As a soul that grew up listening to pop music, Shen Shenshen did not understand the music and chanting of the guqin, but the woman's voice was so soft and beautiful, and the sound of the guqin was so melodious that she could not help but be intoxicated by it. As she was listening intently, she felt a masculine breath coming to her ears, and the man's voice said in a low voice.

"Miss Shen is really a worry to my brother. She came alone to a tea party full of men and seduced them everywhere. A woman who is too beautiful is a disaster. My brother is really pitiful."

Shen Shen turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Zhu Chutang. Ziyuan, this half-brother, spoke in a sarcastic way. Did he think that Second Miss Shen was easy to bully? Shen Shen was immediately unhappy: No, he gave me a good face but still developed bad habits?

"Zhu Chutang, every word you said since we met today was directed at me. I didn't offend you, did I? If you don't like Zhu Yanxiao, go find him. Why are you being so shady with me? It's really annoying."

After saying that, she turned her head back to listen to the music and ignored him.

"Shen Shen, you..."

Young Master Zhu Liu, who had never been directly retorted by anyone, especially a woman, was stunned by Shen Shenshen's scolding. He stood behind Shen Shenshen with an uncertain expression.

The sound of the piano rises and falls, and the audience is finally filled with teahouse customers.

When Mian'er finished her song, the tea drinkers upstairs and downstairs applauded. Zhou Yiran clapped excitedly and turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him with a smile on his face. Lan Ci and Duoyan also looked at her at the same time.

Shen Shen also clapped his hands, and looked at the three young masters politely with smiling eyes.
