Chapter 179: Chapter 121: Cheng Caiyun Plans Not to Let Shen Ruoxi Off

Jun Moling suddenly gently grasped her hand, his gaze full of determination and deep affection, “I won’t force you, I understand your meaning.

Many times, promises may indeed be hard to trust unreservedly, after all, no one can precisely foresee the future, only by walking through this life can one truly believe them.”

Shen Ruoxi slightly lifted her eyes, looking at his deeply affectionate appearance, but for some reason, an indescribable irritability surged in her heart.

He seemed destined to have her in this life, it was precisely his attitude, his actions, his words, like a tangled mess, that unsettled her mind, causing her to think aimlessly.

Shen Ruoxi forcefully tugged her hand, yet failed to break free, her temper flaring in an instant, she angrily said, “What exactly does the Prince wish to discuss with this minister?”

Jun Moling shook his head secretly, listen to this distant address, look at this cold tone, clearly intending to push their relationship to the point of estrangement.

But clearly, they had been so harmonious before, it was evident that the matter with Mu Jinxuan had built a wall in her heart.

He could only comfort himself in his heart, before meeting her in the army, he never even dreamed of such a scene today.

She would become his fiancée, and they would soon marry, if he had known, surely he would have woken up smiling even in his dreams!

What more could he possibly ask for?

“Nothing major, just wanted to simply talk to you. Just now, were you upset because I didn’t stand up for you?” Jun Moling’s voice carried a hint of caution.

Stand up for her? But that was his own aunt, his cousin, moreover, these were all disputes among women, how could the dignified Prince Zhan step in without losing face, appearing too petty?

Shen Ruoxi frowned tightly, saying: “I can handle it myself, if you intervene, it will only make things more complicated.

I’m not angry at you, I just feel that my fifth sister-in-law has suffered so much over the years.

I didn’t know before, but after she told me about all the things the County Princess did to her, I came today to seek justice for her.”

“Rest assured, I will handle this matter, I will warn Cheng Caiyun, and remind her mother-in-law, Marchioness Fu.

Since she is married, so what if she is a County Princess? In the end, it is the husband’s family that matters!” Jun Moling solemnly promised.

“This minister thanks the Prince.” Shen Ruoxi remained neither humble nor overbearing.

“Must you address me like that? Are you trying to force me to remind you of the kiss between us.”

As soon as Jun Moling finished speaking, he lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes filled with a smile, his burning gaze fixed on her red lips, with an intent.

Shen Ruoxi instinctively covered her mouth, her charming face full of shyness.

When she saw his teasing look, she became even more indignant, glaring at him fiercely.

Jun Moling’s lips slightly curled, his eyes full of tenderness and adoration.

The girl in front of him was still that little girl, her joys and sorrows all visible on her face, lively and spirited.

But the two years of struggles with the Xiao Family, almost made her lose herself, now this look, was the one that made him feel at ease the most.

Jun Moling, without saying a word, pulled her into his arms, his deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear: “Ruoxi, I resolved the conflict between you and your sister-in-law, I don’t want your gratitude, but can’t I at least get some interest?”

This was the Eldest Princess’s garden, even if it seemed deserted here, there was no guarantee that a servant might pass by.

At this moment, with the two of them embracing like this, if someone saw it, what kind of propriety would that be?

Shen Ruoxi blushed, urgently saying: “Let go of me, this is broad daylight, people can pass by at any time, what does it look like?”

However, Jun Moling didn’t release her, instead, he chuckled softly: “So what you mean is that it’s okay at night when no one’s around? Then wait for me tonight.”

Shen Ruoxi, angry and embarrassed, lifted her foot and stamped hard on his instep.

Jun Moling, feeling the pain, finally let go of her. His lips still curled with a smile, teasingly saying: “Are you trying to murder your husband?”

Shen Ruoxi glared at him in exasperation, helplessly saying: “Come on, the banquet should begin soon, we should go quickly!”

Jun Moling nodded, still calculating in his heart, besides climbing over the walls at night, there really was no opportunity to meet her, and with busy affairs during the day, he had to find a time to take her out for a walk.

With the current hot weather, going to the lake for a cruise seemed like a nice choice.

At the Eldest Princess’s banquet, due to the Emperor’s arrival, the air was filled with sycophantic praises.

The Emperor, having ascended the throne at a young age, enjoyed this kind of flattery very much.

The entire banquet was relatively peaceful, with no incidents occurring.

But Shen Ruoxi always felt that Cheng Caiyun’s gaze was filled with malice and resentment, casting vicious glances at her now and then.

However, she didn’t take it to heart, if they dared to provoke her, she would surely make them eat the bitter fruit of their actions.

The Eldest Princess’s birthday banquet finally came to an end, the guests gradually left, and the noisy palace slowly returned to silence.

The Eldest Princess sat wearily in the room, but saw her daughter Cheng Caiyun weeping softly beside her, and her heart inevitably ached a little.

However, thinking of her daughter’s foolish actions, her voice was filled with helplessness: “What kind of family is the Shen Family? Now it’s just a widow and orphan left, frankly, they are the typical ones unafraid of causing trouble. Why provoke them?

Do you think I’m willing to hit you in front of everyone, to let you lose face? This matter is no small matter, if it spreads to the soldiers in the barracks, how many soldiers’ hearts would be chilled by this! That is the honor won by tens of thousands of people with their blood, do not disrespect the people of the Shen Family again!”

“I’m unwilling,” Cheng Caiyun gritted her teeth, saying hatefully.

The Eldest Princess was stunned for a moment, her voice instantly turning cold and sharp: “Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do?”

Cheng Caiyun’s thought was that she absolutely couldn’t let the people of the Shen Family have it easy, but seeing her mother’s stern attitude, she swallowed back those harsh words, merely repeating: “I’m just unwilling.”

The Eldest Princess sighed softly, slowly saying: “The higher the position, the more like walking on thin ice. Why should we quarrel with the Shen Family?

Besides, Shen Ruoxi is about to marry Li, we will soon become relatives, wouldn’t such discord make us a laughingstock?”

Want to marry Prince Zhan? Dream on! Cheng Caiyun cursed in her heart.

Isn’t Lan Jue about to marry? The talented and handsome Prince Lan, willing to disguise himself as a woman for Shen Ruoxi, such deep affection.

If she doesn’t fulfill it, how can it be? She is determined to make his wedding “quite lively.”

Cheng Caiyun lowered her eyes slightly, looking aggrieved, “I’m just saying, I won’t have any more conflicts with them in the future, I just think that Shen Ruoxi isn’t worthy of cousin at all.”

The Eldest Princess actually thought so too, but things had come to this, there was no way to turn back, she could only accept reality.

The Eldest Princess knew her daughter was not one to easily suffer losses, she frowned slightly and said: “Don’t think I’m unaware of your little schemes, I warn you, don’t entertain any bad thoughts.

Li is someone who recognizes no relatives, seeing how he cares about Shen Ruoxi, you should restrain yourself, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you must swallow it.

Caiyun, you are married now, and the Fu Family isn’t a soft persimmon for you to pinch at will, that Marchioness Fu was quite notoriously fierce in her youth.

Spend less time showing yourself in public, and more time at home supporting your husband and educating your children, getting out of line will do you no good.”

Cheng Caiyun thought a hundred times over, she looked down on her husband Fu Chao.

She loved organizing events to play, though she had yet to do anything outrageous, the elderly Marchioness Fu of the Fu Family still had quite a few complaints about it.

The Eldest Princess worried that she might go too far and cause some trouble.

“Mother, I understand.” Despite Cheng Caiyun’s verbal compliance, she paid little heed in her heart.

She was a County Princess, the Elder Princess’s daughter, marrying a Marquis’s heir was a blessing that the Fu Family must have earned in a previous life, trying to control her? It was simply ridiculous!
