Chapter 74: Chapter 74 She’s So Innocent!!

The Lantern Festival arrived as scheduled, and besides the cloudy atmosphere around the Minister of Industry Mansion, the streets shook off their dullness, and the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated.

The Turkic envoy arrived in Shengjing today.

The Imperial Guard, armed with swords, cleared the streets, and the citizens craned their necks in anticipation.

Shen Hua went to the First-tier Sky Restaurant, where she had reserved a private room in advance. Pushing open the window, she could look down onto the street where the procession would pass.

Just upon reaching the second floor, she heard delicate sobbing from the room to her right.

Shen Hua paused in her steps.

"That little bitch Wei Zhuzhu! How dare she block my way out, incessantly saying I met with great misfortune, probing both overtly and covertly. I showed her my arm with the virginity mark and she still wouldn’t let it go, pretending to be unintentional but every word stabs at my heart. She must be hoping that I lose my honor."

Wei Yingying was so angry it physically pained her.

Having gone through this ordeal, she was already traumatized, and even her Mama had almost cried her eyes out over it! Yet Wei Zhuzhu keeps hovering around her, harboring what intentions!

Her loving Daddy had even turned his anger on her, accusing her of bringing shame to the Minister Mansion.

Even her grandmother had her criticisms.

"Why shouldn’t I go out? I’ve neither stolen nor robbed, I’ve been a victim from start to finish. Just sleeping honestly in my boudoir, and upon waking up everyone kept reminding me of my disappearance. Wei Zhuzhu wants to use this opportunity to make me lose face, I will not succumb to her wishes."

She was going to go out, head held high.

She would shut up all those women waiting to laugh at her.

Yan Mi gently said, "You are the legitimate daughter, she is the concubine. You always have the upper hand, and the reputation of a girl is a serious matter, she’s really out of line."

"You have indeed suffered these past few days, fortunately, you have returned safely."

Shen Hua’s heart melted upon hearing this voice. She squinted her eyes, turned her head to look at Yingwu, and seemed to understand something in an instant.

"Miss Shen, your private room is up ahead, this way please," the attendant said respectfully.

Shen Hua pretended not to hear and feigned deafness.

As much as she loved maintaining appearances, she couldn’t bring herself to eavesdrop at the corner of the door, so without any hesitation, she pushed the door open.

Wei Yingying’s pupils contracted: "Who!"

Shen Hua acted as if it were her own home. She waddled forward in her clumsy outfit. Then moved a chair between Yan Mi and Wei Yingying, and sat down, pretending to be aloof.

She pointed at herself.

"Me."

Shen Hua still wore a perfunctory expression: "I know you didn’t invite me, so I came uninvited."

You still know you came uninvited!

Shen Hua intoned deeply: "But you cannot throw me out."

"Why can’t I throw you out!"

Shen Hua weak yet smug: "I’ll lie down and fake an ailment, believe it or not?"

Wei Yingying, her eyes red, choked up.

She was furious: "What, is the food in this private room supposed to be more delicious?"

Shen Hua didn’t expect Wei Yingying to be so kind-hearted, even giving her an excuse.

She cutely nodded at Wei Yingying.

Yan Mi couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Wei Yingying, suppressing her emotions for a long time, burst into tears directly.

"Wow! Everyone bullies me!"

She sobbed: "There are plenty of women in Shengjing, why does it have to be me!"

She admitted she was jealous, often feeling sour interacting with Yan Mi, but she also recognized that Yan Mi was worthy of Marquis Cui.

Besides that, she had no other flaws. How could she be so unlucky?

"You’re here to mock me too, aren’t you. You and that little bitch Wei Zhuzhu are no different!"

Yan Mi hastily said, "Miss Shen is not that kind of person, don’t cry anymore."

Shen Hua frowned disdainfully.

"How can a concubine be compared to me?"

Wei Yingying felt strangely healed.

Although Shen Hua is just a vulgar merchant’s daughter, she claims that Wei Zhuzhu is even inferior to her!

Isn’t she one of us!

Her crying softened a bit: "Do you also think she’s no good?"

Shen Hua: "In a big family, everyone rises or falls together, yet she intends to mock you through this, which makes no sense. No matter what, as long as the Minister of Industry Mansion stands firm, even if you lower your standards, why worry about not having a good marriage prospect. She is a concubine daughter, how could she surpass you? Not recognizing one’s status is foolish."

Yan Mi nodded in agreement.

"Exactly, your Mama is the Family Head Madam, she manages the backyard and can easily make her marital affairs difficult. She really shows too much of her emotions."

Wei Yingying felt relieved! Looking at Shen Hua became more pleasing to her eyes.

She said vindictively: "Indeed, if my marriage arrangements are not settled, it wouldn’t come to her turn. I might just stay unmarried for life and frustrate her to death!"

Shen Hua was astonished.

No way, no way, is there really someone foolish enough to harm themselves just to hurt their enemy?

That’s crazy.

She slowly moved her chair, drawing closer to Yan Mi.

Yan Mi still won her heart.

The dishes were served one by one.

Fortunately, the private room was big enough, Shen Hua, Yan Mi, and Wei Yingying sat at one table, while their maids and Yingwu sat at another.

The noise from downstairs was overwhelming. One voice after another.

"Here they come."

Shen Hua stopped eating, propped up the window, and peered down.

The procession was grand, uniformly dressed, bringing an exotic flair.

The Princess, clad in red, wearing a veil, sat on a sedan chair pulled by three fine horses. The fluttering gauze added a touch of mystery.

Receiving the Turkic guests were not only the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple officials but also the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice maintaining order.

It was clear that both countries were eager about this marriage alliance.

"Marquis Cui!" Wei Yingying’s eyes lit up, pointing downwards.

Cui Yun sat atop a fine horse, in official clothes, his demeanor noble yet distant yet polite, appearing even more steadfast and outstanding like Jiao Jianyue in the crowd.

Shen Hua spotted him at a glance.

As if sensing something, the man looked up.

The cold aura was like frost facing him, indifferent and aloof.

The girl by the window had a small white flower pinned in her hair, her palm-sized pale face pitiful and pathetic, her almond eyes black and bright.

She really looked like Xue Tuan.

Seeing her clearly, Cui Yun frowned.

At this critical moment, Shen Hua actually came out to join in the fun, does she really not fear death?

Or is it because he had sent people over, so she is fearless?

His deep black eyes suppressed his emotions, discreetly retracting his gaze.

Wei Yingying screamed: "Sister Yan, was he just looking at you? This is what you call conveying feelings through glances! But why hasn’t the Cui family approached the Governor Mansion to propose marriage yet?"

Seeing Yan Mi not responding, Wei Yingying regretted it: "I heard that the Xie Family is also starting to look for a new wife."

Yan Mi’s hand holding the handkerchief shook.

His wife should be the best, the very best girl in the world.

Wei Yingying: "So frustrating, I have no chance with Cui Yun, nor can I rise to the level of Xie Xun."

Shen Hua couldn’t help but laugh: "Ha!"

"Your personality really isn’t great, but you’re not completely useless, at least you’re very clear about who you are."

Wei Yingying twisted her expression.

Having said that, Shen Hua also recalled the fleeting glance from Cui Yun just now, inexplicably shivering.

She was somewhat reluctant, looking at Yan Mi: "His expression when he looked at you was a bit fierce. It was chilling even to me nearby."

She’s so innocent.
