Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 379 - 378: Are You Shen Chen?
Later, Noble Princess Consort Xiao said sinisterly, "I’ve tried many methods but couldn’t heal Qian’er’s face. These mere thousands of taels mean nothing; take them. If you don’t, do you want me to owe you a favor? Such a young age, yet so scheming."
Where would Qinglian dare to offend Noble Princess Consort Xiao? Her wet nurse and Chun Xing were still in the palace, so she took the money and soon spent it with ease.
She also knew that Noble Princess Consort Xiao said that because she feared Qinglian wouldn’t accept the money. After all, Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s family ranked among the top ten wealthy families in the Capital City.
As for Ye Zhi’s wealth, it goes without saying. As her daughter grew up, the Ye Family did not restrain her, and they were generous with money.
Just like that, a few youngsters lived quite extravagantly in the Capital.
With money, one can make the devil turn the millstone; with money, everything falls into place.
Liu Yu glanced at her and said, "Why aren’t you defending yourself, little girl? Did your Aunt Yu hit the mark, leaving you speechless?"
Ye Zhi’s cheeks slightly warmed, and she awkwardly said, "Aunt Yu, it was just an occasional visit. Don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense."
Liu Yu extended her slender index finger, tapping the young girl’s brow, and said helplessly, "You, you~"
Just then, she noticed a young boy beside the girl, slender and elegant like green bamboo. His brows were like painted ink, with sharp brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and red lips with white teeth.
What a graceful young man, cold in demeanor, with jade ornaments clinking softly.
Liu Yu declared brightly, "The gathered stones contain jade, the arrayed pines are like emeralds. This gentleman’s beauty is unparalleled in the world. You must be Shen Chen, who has bewitched our Ah Zhi to travel thousands of miles to Dragon Tiger Mountain for you?"
She nodded thoughtfully, thinking the boy was indeed handsome, no wonder Ah Zhi went so far just to fetch him...
Before the boy could respond,
Ye Zhi exclaimed, hurriedly trying to explain, "It’s not like that. I was just exploring the world. It’s normal for children of the Jianghu to venture out early."
Shen Chen agreed with her softly, "Mm."
However, it was unclear whether this "mm" was in response to Liu Yu’s question or Ah Zhi’s statement~
The tender and soft voice of the young girl had attracted Li Du’s attention. He, clad in a jade and silver brocade robe with lotus patterns, saw his mother standing with his childhood friend and walked over with steady steps.
Huanhuan, who was also drawn by Ah Zhi’s voice, went over.
Li Du arrived first, furrowing his thick brows slightly as he asked his mother, "Mother, what are you discussing with Ah Zhi?"
Ye Zhi internally scoffed lightly but was equally impolite on the surface, tossing her small face, "It’s none of your business what we’re talking about. Why are you meddling in our girls’ affairs?"
The little girl, with her tender looks and wide-eyed anger, was quite delightful to behold.
Beautiful people look good in any way.
Huanhuan, having also arrived, cheerfully greeted everyone, "Ah Zhi, Xiao Chen, Auntie, you’re all here chatting~" She had met Liu Yu once or twice and wasn’t very familiar, so she politely addressed her as Auntie.
Ye Zhi warmly responded, "Yes, I haven’t seen Aunt Yu for a long time, so we’re catching up."
The difference in attitude towards Li Du and Huanhuan was worlds apart...
Liu Yu cautiously surveyed between the two and spoke with a voice tinged with investigative curiosity, "You haven’t come to my residence for so long; did you have a quarrel with Ah Du, that boy?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Everyone except Shen Chen exchanged looks, with wide eyes in small eyes.
In the main hall of the Zhao Mansion, the Ye Family took on the role of the main pillar, bustling about arranging affairs for the two newcomers, which was already no small task by herself.
