Chapter 254 What's wrong with protecting my fiancée?
Jiang Suining was wearing a turquoise long skirt with bamboo leaf patterns today. It was a new product from Ningyue Pavilion, a newly released style, and there was only one of it.
Shen Yanxi was also wearing a turquoise robe with bamboo patterns embroidered with silver silk thread on the hem. At first glance, the two pieces of clothing looked particularly well matched.
Shen Yanxi also noticed Jiang Suining's dress. After a brief look of surprise, he walked over with a look of surprise on his face.
"What a coincidence." Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining's dress with a smile in his eyes and spoke.
Jiang Suining also smiled, "It's indeed a coincidence."
Only Yuan Liang, who was following behind Shen Yanxi, stood there silently, muttering to himself that in order to say what a coincidence, the young master had put in a lot of effort, and all kinds of robes were prepared in the carriage, just waiting for Miss Jiang to leave the house, and then make a decision based on the color of her dress he had found out.
Of course, this same bamboo leaf pattern is indeed a coincidence.
The smile on Shen Yanxi's face became more and more obvious, but when he looked at Jiang Suining, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The fearless attitude she had before turned into shyness after the engagement.
Jiang Suining, on the other hand, started chatting as usual. Not long after, the two of them saw Chu Jingyue and Chu Changhe in the crowd.
Chu Jingyue and Chu Changhe were both wearing blue. Judging from the embroidery and workmanship, they were clearly specially made of the same style.
The four of them had good looks, and when they walked towards Guangyun Tower together, they were really eye-catching.
Because there were many people on the street, Shen Yanxi stood carefully beside Jiang Suining, worried that she would be bumped into.
Chu Jingyue and Chu Changhe held hands and walked forward intimately.
Lanterns of various colors were hung high along the way, which looked very lively. There were also many stalls selling lanterns on both sides of the street. Lanterns of various shapes were hung on the stalls, which were very attractive. After walking around for a while, Chu Jingyue had already taken a fancy to and bought several of them.
Chu Changhe stood beside her with a smile on his face. Every time Chu Jingyue took a fancy to a lamp, Chu Changhe would pay for it. When Chu Jingyue played with it for a while and didn't want to hold it anymore, he would reach out to take it.
Although Jiang Suining was shopping with them and thought the items were very exquisite, he had no desire to buy anything. Instead, he bought a few for Xier and Biyun to play with.
After walking and strolling like this, Jiang Suining and his friends soon arrived at Guangyun Tower.
The competition to climb the high platform and win prizes has not yet begun, but many people have already gathered under Guangyun Tower.
"Hurry, this way!" A joyful female voice came. Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Suining and the others looked in the direction of the voice.
When Chu Jingyue saw the owner of the voice, her face changed. "I heard that Yang Manman has been locked up at home for a while. I didn't expect that she was released today."
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman, who was dressed in men's clothes and looked in high spirits. He followed her line of sight into the crowd and saw Li Zheng walking towards her quickly from the other side.
The previous incident was such a big deal that both the Duke's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion lost face, but not long after, they were together again.
Shen Yanxi stood beside Jiang Suining. Seeing her looking in Li Zheng's direction, he explained in a low voice, "Ever since Li Zheng's elder brother was implicated in the affairs of the General of the Cavalry's Mansion and was not allowed to join the government, Li Zheng's status in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been significantly improved. Although his personal morality is not good, Prime Minister Li can only place his hopes on him now."
"What you mean is that because of this reason, the Duke's Mansion now allows Yang Manman and Li Zheng to meet again." Jiang Suining turned his head and looked at Shen Yanxi.
Before he finished speaking, some people nearby rushed towards the stage in front of Guangyun Tower. In the crowd and shoveling, Jiang Suining was bumped by someone and subconsciously took a step in the direction of Shen Yanxi.
Shen Yanxi stretched out his hands and held the person in his arms, and the distance between them was suddenly shortened. Looking at the bright lights reflected in Jiang Suining's eyes, Shen Yanxi's ears turned red and his heart beat faster.
Because of the commotion, Yang Manman, who was not far away, looked over.
When she saw Jiang Suining and Chu Jingyue, her face darkened visibly.
Especially when she saw Jiang Suining being held in Shen Yanxi's arms, Yang Manman's eyes were filled with jealousy.
With a sneer, she walked straight towards Jiang Suining and the others.
"Aren't these Miss Jiang and Princess Chu? What a coincidence."
Chu Jingyue frowned and looked at the other person without saying anything.
Jiang Suining nodded gently, "Ms. Yang."
Yang Manman's eyes moved to Shen Yanxi. After a moment's silence, she rolled her eyes and said with a fake smile, "Before, Miss Jiang always followed the rules. I thought you were the most polite person. But I didn't expect that you would flirt with Lord Shen in public. It's a good thing I saw it this time. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would think that you, Miss Jiang, deliberately seduced him and wanted to get close to Lord Shen."
"Yang Manman, stop being so sarcastic here. You're not the one who's entangled with other people's fiancés all day long." Chu Jingyue immediately retorted.
"Princess Chu, please be careful with your words. I am just not particular about small matters. I am not like some people who say one thing in front of you and another behind your back. Moreover, Li Zheng has already cancelled the engagement." Yang Manman raised her chin and glanced at Jiang Suining again. "But Miss Jiang, with so many people watching, it is not appropriate for you to throw yourself into a man's arms."
Without waiting for Jiang Suining to speak, Shen Yanxi looked at Yang Manman coldly, "I'm protecting my fiancée, what's inappropriate about that?"
Yang Manman was stunned, "What? Fiancée?"
How come she didn't know when Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi got engaged?
Yang Manman looked at Jiang Suining, trying to find any signs of lying on his face, but Jiang Suining looked calm and composed, with a smile on his lips.
"I think Miss Yang has been under house arrest in the mansion, so it is normal that we haven't heard about it."
As soon as the word "house arrest" came out, Yang Manman's face changed again, but she still didn't believe Jiang Suining. Instead, she turned around and looked at Li Zheng.
"It's true. I've heard the news, too." Li Zheng nodded and said to Shen Yanxi, "I haven't had time to congratulate Mr. Shen yet."
"Thank you." Shen Yanxi nodded.
After completely confirming the authenticity of the news, Yang Manman's face froze.
Jiang Suining actually hooked up with Shen Yanxi!
Although the Shen family is not as well-off as the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Yanxi, the newly crowned top scholar, is so powerful in the imperial city that he actually fell in love with Jiang Suining?
When she looked at Jiang Suining's smile again, Yang Manman felt that the smile was full of pride and showing off.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a word of congratulations.
Yesterday, after much persuasion from Duke Yang and Wang, Yang Manman reluctantly agreed to capture Li Zheng and find a way to get engaged to him, but now she felt unbalanced.
Jiang Suining, with such a background, can get engaged to Shen Yanxi, so why can I choose Li Zheng!
Yang Manman felt unwilling again.
At this moment, a gong sounded and the registration to go on stage and win the prize began.
