Reality always likes the expectations of useless people. Just when Fuxin had sorted out her needs for Fan Xiaohou and was about to actively promote the relationship, Princess Chengyang slapped her hard.
Shi Fuxin knew that Princess Chengyang looked down upon the Shi family, but she didn't expect that she would look down on the Shi family so much, and that the female family members of the Shi family would be deliberately treated poorly after arriving at the Xizi Courtyard.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was getting hotter day by day. The Shi family's carriage had to wait under the sun for more than two quarters of an hour before it was able to enter the other courtyard.
There is nothing wrong with waiting normally. What is annoying is that the servants who are escorting the guests deliberately let Beppu's carriage cut in line, allowing the other family's female relatives to enter the other courtyard first.
Seeing this, what else does Shi Fuxin not understand?
The servant did not dare to be so rude. He must have acted like this under the orders of his master.
When she got off the carriage, she saw the hot sweat on the foreheads of the female members of the Shi family, trying to avoid embarrassment and forcing a smile, and the snickering and pointing of the female members around her. Shi Fuxin raised her hand and touched her cheek. Princess Chengyang said this
Remember the slap, it really hurts.
When Xiaofang saw Shi Fuxin's face turned ugly, she complained in a low voice: "The servants of the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion are too bad at doing things."
Aunt Leng looked at Shi Fuxin's face: "Royal Princess, naturally you don't have too many scruples when doing things. Maybe it's because during the Dragon Boat Festival, the young Marquis gave the girl a royal bracelet in public, and Princess Chengyang was dissatisfied.
That’s why today’s announcement is made.”
Shi Fuxin snorted: "Her son gave it to me on his own initiative, but I didn't want it."
Hearing this, Aunt Leng paused and looked at Shi Fuxin: "Girl, all mothers in the world think that their sons are the best. If they make mistakes, they are instigated by others."
"This is true for ordinary people, and even more so for the royal family. Girls must be mentally prepared for this."
Shi Fuxin took a breath: "I know."
When the female family members were led by the maid to Princess Chengyang, they passed by a lotus pond and saw Mr. Fan Xiaohou, drinking tea and joking with several young men in a waterside pavilion.
When Mr. Fan Xiaohou saw the family members, he immediately stood up, said something to the people around him, and walked over with a smile.
Aunt Leng saw that her girl's face looked a bit disgusting and she deliberately turned her head away. She immediately reminded: "Girl, please don't take out your anger just now on the young Marquis."
Shi Fuxin glanced at Aunt Leng and said nothing.
Aunt Leng said again: "Girl, when a mother-in-law looks at her future daughter-in-law, she will have some difficulties and make things difficult for her."
Shi Fuxin suddenly laughed: "Mom, don't worry, it would be better if Princess Chengyang's attitude towards me is exposed sooner, so that I can see Fan Mingyu's reaction."
At this time, Fan Mingyu arrived. He first saluted Mrs. Shi and others, and then walked straight to Shi Fuxin: "The scenery in the other courtyard is nice. After I meet my mother, I will take you around."
Shi Fuxin smiled and nodded: "Are you okay now? If not, come with us to see the princess."
Fan Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and waved to the people in the waterside pavilion, indicating that he was leaving for a while, and then said to Shi Fuxin: "Let's go, I will accompany you to see your mother."
On the way, Shi Fuxin deliberately slowed down and fell a few steps behind everyone.
When Fan Mingyu saw it, he curled his lips and slowed down.
Shi Fuxin looked at him and told the story of the poor treatment of the Shi family: "The princess doesn't like me."
Fan Mingyu paused for a moment, then explained anxiously: "No, it must be that the servants in the house don't know how to do things. I will find out later and I will punish them severely."
Shi Fuxin was noncommittal: "Fan Mingyu, let me ask you, do you like me?"
Fan Mingyu was stunned by Shi Fuxin's frankness and stopped in his tracks. He looked at Shi Fuxin and didn't know how to react.
Nanny Leng on the side also had a headache. The girl is really too bold.
Seeing that Fan Mingyu didn't answer, Shi Fuxin tilted her head and looked at him: "Did I guess wrong?"
Fan Mingyu shook his head: "No, I like you." After saying that, his ears felt a little hot and his eyes wandered a little, not daring to look directly at Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin smiled and continued walking forward: "Fan Mingyu, do you like me, do you want someone to talk to and relieve your boredom when you are bored, or do you seriously want to get along with me?"
Fan Mingyu followed and said without thinking: "Of course I seriously want to get along with you." I want to marry you and go home.
Shi Fuxin lowered her eyes: "If you are serious, let me ask you, the gap between the Shi family and the Yongchuan House is real. If the princess is dissatisfied with my identity, what are you going to do?"
Fan Mingyu knitted his brows and looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sixth sister, don't worry, I will find a way to convince mother."
After saying that, she looked at Shi Fuxin nervously, worried that she wouldn't believe it. Unexpectedly, Shi Fuxin smiled.
"I believe in you, you will handle it well."
Seeing this, Fan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt an unconcealable joy in his heart, a kind of happiness because he was trusted.
When they approached the courtyard where the princess was entertaining guests, a boy hurried over and whispered a few words to Mr. Fan Xiaohou. Mr. Fan looked at Shi Fuxin apologetically.
"Sixth sister, something happened and I have to go over and deal with it. I can only send you here."
Shi Fuxin glanced at the messenger boy who looked anxious but had calm eyes, and guessed that this person should be sent by Princess Chengyang. The purpose was not to let others see Fan Mingyu appear with them.<
/p>
"Go and do your business."
After Fan Mingyu left, Nanny Leng looked at Shi Fuxin with hesitation.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she wanted to pretend she didn't see it, but Nanny Leng's gaze was too strong, so she could only say helplessly: "Nanny, I know what you want to say, it's just that I should be reserved." Aunt Leng: "Since the girl knows, why did you ask the young Marquis those questions just now?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Of course it's to take the initiative." Looking at Aunt Leng, "I know that everyone in the world thinks that girls should be reserved. Even if they like a certain man, they shouldn't tell it to their mouths. They should
Wait for the man to take the initiative."
"However, waiting for men to take the initiative is equivalent to handing the initiative into men's hands."
"It's too passive to wait for a man to actively express love and let him control the advancement and continuation of the relationship. I don't want to be led by others."
"As for telling Fan Mingyu that Princess Chengyang is dissatisfied with me, firstly, I want to see his ability to handle problems, and secondly, his mother, of course, wants him to handle it himself."
Shi Fuxin ran her fingers through the bushes on the side of the road, broke off a small branch, and played with it in her hand: "You are a fool to rush ahead in everything."
Aunt Leng looked at Shi Fuxin: "The girl is right, but this is a test of the young Marquis' ability."
Shi Fuxin looked at the courtyard in front of her and could already hear the chatter and laughter coming from inside: "The test is his ability. If a person does not have the ability to solve practical problems, no matter how good his family background is, he will give Taosu again.
