Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 152 The Cruel Truth

Zhou Yunxi said sarcastically, "The truth? Ziyuan also has doubts? It seems that no one can be fooled by my words."

Shen Shen continued: "Well, the flower thief's words do have too many loopholes."

When Zhou Yunxi heard the disgusted person speak, the thick gauze veil on her head shook violently, and Shen Shenshen could clearly feel that she was staring at him with murderous intent.

"Shen Shen, are you very proud now?"

Shen Shenshen smiled: "What do you mean, Miss Zhou?"

"Why are you engaged to Ziyuan? Why is my injury caused by you? Why?" A hoarse growl came from Zhou Yunxi's veil.

"Miss Zhou, please be careful with your words." Zhu Yanxiaoping said.

The veil swung, and she said to the man she loved deeply: "Ziyuan, the woman you love." She pointed at Shen Shenshen, her fingers shaking with anger, and said angrily: "It is all because of this woman that Yunxi has become what she is today. Ziyuan, she is fickle and seduces other men everywhere..."

"Hmph." Shen Shen sneered, "Miss Zhou didn't mention that you first framed me, gave me aphrodisiacs, and then let Mr. Zhou Si ruin my innocence?" She stared at Zhou Yunxi fiercely, "You got hurt on the face yesterday, so the matter of framing me is written off and bygones are off?"

"You...you...it turned out that you were the one who told Mu Yejun that I wanted to harm you and let him seek revenge and destroy me, right? Ziyuan, do you know that Shen Shen and Mu Yejun have a private affair?"

"This lady and Mu Yejun have a secret affair?"

"As expected. Shen Shen, you are shameless. Yunxi's face was ruined by Mu Yejun. He is really cruel. Ziyuan, quickly take the Jinwu Guards to kill Mu Yejun. And this woman, Shen Shen, must have instigated Mu Yejun to murder Yunxi. Send her to the Dali Temple and torture her severely."

Zhu Yanxiao sighed and said helplessly: "Miss Zhou, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the Jinwu Guards need evidence to investigate the case. Miss Zhou, please produce the evidence that Mu Yejun hurt you, and I can go to the Yunsheng Mansion to arrest him immediately."

"What I said is evidence."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Shen said in a weird tone, "Miss Zhou, why don't you just say that Dongxiang Kingdom was founded by the Zhou family? Miss Zhou's words are Dongxiang law."

"Shen Shen, shut up." Zhou Yunxi sneered, "You still want to marry Ziyuan after I exposed your affair? Don't dream."

"Oh, Ziyuan, look at Miss Zhou. She is bullying others. Ziyuan, Shenshen is being bullied."

Shen Shen directly transformed into a tea art master, and acted like a spoiled child to Zhu Yanxiao. Across the square tea table, she shook Zhu Shizi's arm and said, "Ziyuan, quickly tell Miss Zhou whether I have any relationship with Mu Yejun."

Zhou Yunxi's face was covered by a thick veil, otherwise Shen Shenshen would have seen how ugly her expression was.

Zhu Yanxiao's eyes twitched, and he said in a cold voice: "Miss Zhou, this prince has known for a long time that Mr. Mu is in love with Miss Shen."

"Ziyuan knows?" Zhou Yunxi was surprised. When did Ziyuan become so 'generous'?

"Not only do we know, but Second Young Master Mu has also proposed to Second Miss Shen as his wife more than once. In fact, on the day that I went to the Marquis An's mansion to propose to Second Miss Shen, Mu Yejun and the Duke's wife also went to propose to her on the same day. Second Miss Shen chose who to marry, and I and Second Young Master Mu were the chosen ones."

Zhou Yunxi heard this and murmured, "Yunxi doesn't believe it... Ziyuan is willing to do this for a woman... Ziyuan and Yunxi had many happy times in the past." Her voice was full of reminiscences of the past.

Zhu Yanxiao saw her wearing a heavy veil, and thought of her face being ruined behind the veil. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "This prince and Miss Zhou have been separated for five years. The past is over. We each have different lives to live. It's time to let it go."

"Ahem, or I'll step aside for a while, and Ziyuan and Miss Zhou can slowly reminisce about the past." After Shen Shenshen finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

"God, no need. This prince and Miss Zhou have no past to discuss."

"Ziyuan, are you really so cruel? Yunxi's current state is all due to her, and Ziyuan is still protecting her? How can he not care about the old friendship at all?"

"Zhou Yunxi." Zhu Yanxiao looked at Zhou Yunxi and was silent for a moment. He seemed to have made a great decision and said with a somewhat sad tone.

"There are some things that I don't want to mention again in my life, because I have done something wrong that cannot be made up for. However, I don't want to lose Shenshen again because of the past."

Shen Shenshen felt Zhu Yanxiao's hand reaching out from under the coffee table and gently holding her hand.

"Five years ago, this prince and Miss Zhou were indeed engaged, but not long after, Prince Zhong's Mansion cancelled the engagement with Miss Zhou. Do you know why?"

Zhou Yunxi remained silent, and no one urged her. Just when Shen Shenshen thought she didn't want to answer, she spoke slowly in a low voice.

"Father informed Yunxi that Ziyuan suddenly didn't want to marry me anymore, saying... Prince Zhu, the Prince of Zhong, looked down on the Duke of Jing'an's Mansion. The Zhou family was only given the title by His Majesty's favor, and they have no noble family background. They are not worthy of the Prince's Mansion, which is of royal blood."

She said with some self-mockery, "Yunxi doesn't believe it. My father laughed at me for thinking too highly of myself. The marriage proposal in Prince Zhong's Mansion was just a cover. Prince Zhu was just curious about Yunxi. After spending a long time together, Prince Zhu didn't think Yunxi was any different. If she was just a plaything, why would he marry Yunxi? Yunxi doesn't believe Ziyuan is such a person. They were so beautiful together. But no matter how Yunxi met him and begged the princess, Ziyuan avoided her. Without a reasonable explanation, Yunxi just waited, waiting for Ziyuan's answer."

At this point, Zhu Yanxiao's cold voice was heard through the thick veil and reached Zhou Yunxi's ears.

"The fact is... when I was discussing marriage with you and exchanging the engagement letter, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that our birth dates did not match. If we were to get married, our family or ourselves would suffer a bloody disaster. Your Majesty, my father, and my mother all advised me to give up, but at that time I... liked you."

Zhu Yanxiao recalled the fragment he least wanted to recall, his voice was hoarse and he spoke very slowly. He felt that at this moment, Shen Shenshen was holding his hand in return as if to comfort him.

"I impulsively entered the palace, knelt before the Empress Dowager, and said that I would not marry anyone other than Yunxi in this life, and that I would bear the consequences alone. As a result..."

Zhu Yanxiao exhaled a foul breath, "Huh~ The Royal Grandmother's health was not good to begin with, and she had been carefully nursing her condition until it improved a little. But she was so angry at her unfilial grandson that her old illness relapsed. She fell seriously ill, and all the good medicines in the palace were used. After half a year of intermittent nursing, she still passed away.

Zhu Yanxiao's voice was hoarse and he was a little excited: "Is this the bloody disaster caused by our incompatible birthdays? Because of this prince's 'insistence', the person closest to him has to bear the consequences? That is the royal grandmother who doted on Ziyuan the most."

Zhou Yunxi was so shocked that she couldn't say anything.

"So, Miss Zhou, how can this prince have any feelings for you again, how can I marry you? If it weren't for Yunxi's banquet for Shenshen and her plot against Shenshen the other day, this prince and Miss Zhou... would never meet again in this life."

“Ziyuan, Yunxi doesn’t know… Yunxi doesn’t know…” Zhou Yunxi said dejectedly.

She knew the truth, and her life with Zhu Yanxiao ended here.

Shen Shen was also shocked by the truth of their breakup. After thinking for a while, he comforted her, "Don't be sad, Ziyuan. The dead are gone. The Royal Grandmother would be happy to know that you remember her. The true death of a person is not the disappearance of the body, but that there will no longer be anyone alive who remembers her or loves her. At that time, the soul will completely disappear. But if someone always thinks of her and loves her, the person who is missed will just live in a different place. The Royal Grandmother is still alive."

She pointed at Zhu Yanxiao's heart, her eyebrows curved: "Live here."

"Although Shen Shen has never seen the Royal Grandmother, seeing how much Ziyuan loves her, she must be a kind-hearted grandmother. Ziyuan, look, now there is one more person missing her, so the Royal Grandmother also lives here." She pointed to her heart again.

Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen with great emotion. She was really beautiful, very beautiful. The prince's consort that he had chosen was smart and warm.

Zhou Yunxi didn't say another word. She was still immersed in the truth and hadn't recovered from the shock.

"Miss Zhou, it's getting late. The answer that the prince and Miss Shen wanted today has been revealed. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Zhu Yanxiao and Shen Shenshen stood up and prepared to leave.
