There was only a screen between them, and Xie Peng's voice was very loud. In fact, all the women could hear it clearly.
At first, everyone was just watching the fun. But as they listened, they all felt a little aggrieved for Shen Changan. The only son of the dignified General Shen, Shen Changan had been walking sideways in the capital since he was a child, and he had never suffered any losses. , he was actually humiliated in front of someone today. It’s a shame that he could endure it...
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled meaningfully. It was so embarrassing for Shen Changan that she was willing to suffer such humiliation for Gu Xiyu! From this moment on, Gu Xinian will really look at Shen Changan with new eyes!
Gu Xiyu suddenly stood up.
The women who were listening to the excitement were stunned and looked over in confusion. Shen Qiuyu asked with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, what are you going to do?"
Gu Xiyu's disgust for Shen Qiuyu has never faded with the passage of time. She didn't even look at her. She only said to Ye Qinglan: "I'll go over and say a few words and then come back."
Ye Qinglan was also a little surprised, but she didn't ask any questions, just smiled and nodded.
Gu Xiyu stood up and walked to the other side of the screen. The uproar and laughter suddenly stopped. Gu Xinian frowned and was about to say something when he heard Gu Xiyu clearly and clearly shout "Xie Peng".
Xie Peng got excited and stood up reflexively, his drunken face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't speak properly: "Gu, sister Gu, are you calling me?" Happiness came too fast and suddenly. !
Gu Xiyu hummed. Ignoring everyone who raised their ears, she just looked at Xie Peng and said, "Why do you keep saying that Shen Changan is not worthy of me? If he is not worthy, are you worthy?"
Xie Peng's smile completely froze at the corners of his lips before he could fully unfold it.
Shen Changan was also very surprised, and the corners of his mouth had already grinned.
Gu Xinian coughed and said gently: "Yu'er, don't mess around, go back quickly..."
"I'm only talking about this once." Gu Xiyu still looked at Xie Peng and said expressionlessly: "I'm not familiar with you at all. What you have in mind is your own business. Whoever I interact with is also my business." You have nothing to do with it. You have no right to judge whether he is good or bad, let alone insult him wantonly. Do you understand?"
Xie Peng was completely sober from the drunkenness. His body was cold from the inside out.
Gu Xiyu didn't look at him again, and after finishing speaking, she turned back to the other side of the screen.
…
The prince coughed and raised his glass with a smile: "It's our fate to sit here together tonight. Come on, I... I'd like to propose a toast to you all." Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses in agreement, and finally the awkward silence was not so awkward.
Gu Yongnian pulled the lost Xie Peng to sit down and comforted him in a low voice: "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Since my cousin has no intention of you, don't be sad anymore. Just find a better one in the future."
Xie Peng still looked dumb, neither drinking nor using chopsticks. Gu Yongnian had no choice but to let him go. He kept muttering in his heart. He didn't expect his introverted and quiet cousin to get angry. So awesome!
On this side, all the women's eyes also fell on Gu Xiyu's face.
What Gu Xiyu said just now was so shocking! It was tantamount to confessing her relationship with Shen Changan in front of everyone. Such courage is really extraordinary...
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile, almost giving her a thumbs up. Facts have proved that Xiyu girl will always burst out at the most unexpected time, and no one here dares to underestimate her anymore.
Luo Miaoke suddenly smiled and broke the delicate silence: "In the past, I only heard that Miss Gu was reserved and quiet. When I saw her today, I realized that the rumors were misleading. In my opinion, Miss Gu is a rare person who dares to speak out and act boldly.
You are the hero among the women you have ever seen." At first glance, this sounds like a compliment. But when you taste it carefully, there is always something a little bit unpleasant about it.
Ye Qingning and her had never been on good terms. He immediately counterattacked with a smile: "When someone speaks rashly, it is natural for cousin Xiyu to stop him."
Luo Miaoke's eyes were longing, and she covered her lips and smiled: "Speaking of this, I am also a little curious. I wonder how Miss Gu got acquainted with Mr. Shen? There seems to be quite a friendship!" These words were even more gentle.
There is a needle hidden in the thorn. A girl who has not yet left the court and a man know each other well and have feelings for each other. If this kind of thing spreads, it will naturally damage the reputation.
Ye Qingning responded with a smile: "You are already married, why are you still so curious?"
Luo Miaoke twitched the corners of her lips, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes: "Both and each other, you got married earlier than me, and you still care about words as before."
…
The two of them started to bicker with each other, but they ignored the real master. Shen Qiuyu, who had the strength to break up the fight, smiled and said nothing, while Cui Wan, who was slightly older and had a very close relationship with both of them, also
Got into trouble.
One is his sister-in-law, and the other is his own sister-in-law, so he can’t help anyone. But if he doesn’t say anything and just watch the two of them quarreling like this, it is obviously inappropriate. After thinking about it, I can only
He bit the bullet and opened his mouth to smooth things over: "This crab meat and lion's head dish tastes good, how about you two try it?"
The words were very euphemistic, but both of them understood the underlying meaning. The mouth can sometimes be used for eating!
Ye Qingning was a little resentful, but he didn't refute Cui Wan's face. Sure enough, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of crab meat lion head. Not to be outdone, Luo Miao also picked up a piece and slowly ate it.
…
Is the world peaceful? The answer is of course no.
Shen Qiuyu smiled and spoke with a very cordial attitude: "Cousin Xiyu, didn't you hate talking to men before? When did you become so familiar with Shen Changan again?"
If Shen Qiuyu still thought that Gu Xiyu was as weak and deceitful as before, she was completely wrong, then Gu Xiyu responded calmly: "People will always change. Concubine Shen should understand this more deeply than I do, right?"
You and my eldest brother were so good back then, but later we broke up. Now you and His Highness are together, aren't you just as good together?"
Shen Qiuyu: "..."
She didn't know how many veiled cynics she had heard, but she could handle it gracefully and calmly every time. But Gu Xiyu didn't follow common sense at all, and said whatever came to her mind. Such blunt words were just a slap in the face.
Slap her in the face in front of everyone...
Ye Qingning had no good impression of Shen Qiuyu at all, Cui Wan said nothing, and Zhang Yue was wise enough not to wade into this muddy water. Suddenly, the table became cold.
Unexpectedly, it was Ye Qinglan who took the initiative to help Shen Qiuyu: "This is all in the past, why should Cousin Xiyu be brooding about it. In fact, Cousin Gu has already forgotten all these old things. I think
, Concubine Shen must not remember it either!"
...These words are more cruel than what Gu Xiyu said just now! Shen Qiuyu's eyes flickered, his expression changed again and again, and finally regained his composure in a short period of time, and even squeezed out a smile: "Yes, What happened in the past has long since passed, why are you bringing this up?" After a pause, he smiled and said, "This steamed seabass is very delicious, everyone should try it."
So, everyone ate the steamed seabass in silence.
The atmosphere was not much better after that. No matter how exquisite the dishes were, they lost some of their taste. Ye Qinglan was probably the one in the best mood among everyone.
In the past, she didn't mind Shen Qiuyu, because she had nothing to do with Gu Xinian at that time, and she only had a strong curiosity about their love-hate past. But now, since Gu Xinian is her She was her fiancé, and there was no so-called peace between her and Shen Qiuyu. Even for Gu Xinian, who was betrayed, hurt, and had his family ruined, she would not let Shen Qiuyu go!
What you can't get is always the best, this is a common problem for everyone. Shen Qiuyu is no exception.
In the previous life, Gu Xinian was devoted to her, and she was so proud that she did not really take him to heart. But in this life, Gu Xinian was cold and distant to her, without any nostalgia for the old relationship. Shen Qiuyu probably felt that all the people in the world All men should love her with all their hearts. Therefore, she was very unwilling to accept Gu Xinian's "different embrace". This unwillingness made Shen Qiuyu lose his footing and lost the confidence to play with others.
Occasionally, I looked up and saw the leisurely smile of the girl in pink. The anger that Shen Qiuyu had suppressed showed signs of stirring again. However, I could only suppress it again calmly, and then whispered and joked with Luo Miaoke beside me as if nothing had happened. .
Luo Miaoke actually doesn't have any particular fondness for Shen Qiuyu. Any woman who thinks highly of herself will not have a great impression when she sees a woman who is better in appearance, talent and luck than herself!
However, if it can add some trouble to Ye Qinglan, Luo Miaoke will naturally be happy to pretend to be close to Shen Qiuyu.
Finally, the banquet ended.
Gu Xinian had no intention of continuing to mess with Prince Shen Qiuyu, and said with a smile: "Thank you cousin for your hospitality. We have been out for a long time and have to go back home first. I won't disturb your enjoyment!"
The prince smiled and nodded in agreement, and naturally took Shen Qiuyu's hand, looking very affectionate.
Shen Qiuyu's heart trembled slightly. Ever since that birthday party, the prince had never done such an intimate gesture to her. But this long-lost behavior clearly lacked the tender love of the past, and was more like a reminder. And a warning. Remind her to pay attention to her identity, and warn her not to think too wildly...
Shen Qiuyu felt a strong astringency in her heart, but the smile on her face became more elegant and moving. She calmly said goodbye to everyone one by one.
After Gu Xinian and others left, the prince let go of her hand, the smile on his face sank, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you and cousin Xiyu say just now?"
...Obviously I heard the conversation between Gu Xiyu and Shen Qiuyu, so I came to investigate! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
