Chapter 496 I won't let her stand in her way
Upon hearing this, Chai Xiuyun's face immediately brightened with smiles: "I know that my sister loves me the most."
After Chai Xiuyun left, the remaining three people were inevitably embarrassed.
Sun Xiuya quietly found a seat against the wall and began to pack her things in silence.
Shen Jingzhen's eyes fell on Shen Jingyu's face, and she couldn't help but sneer: "Sister, you are still wearing a veil here, don't you feel bored?"
Although the room was a bit crowded, it was the end of the year and it was snowing, so the charcoal fire was burning brightly and it was very warm.
Shen Jingyu looked at the charcoal basin in silence, feeling a little annoyed.
With such a hot temperature, the wounds on her head and face...will probably fester faster...
The wounds had never healed in the first place. Although some of them had scabs formed, they were itchy and painful because they were covered by the wig and facial skin, and the sores kept forming.
But before she could recover, she had to put on her hair and mask and go out to see people.
Now he looks like neither human nor ghost!
Shen Jingyu was annoyed, and now she was assigned to the same place as Shen Jingzhen, which made her even more unhappy.
"Mind your own business." Shen Jingyu said in a cold voice, turned around and chose another place.
Shen Jingzhen sneered, "What a big tone, who do you think you are, sister? I saw that the Eighth Prince didn't treat you well today."
Speaking of this, Shen Jingyu pursed her lips tightly.
"Are you happy? Do you think that if the Eighth Prince and I call off our marriage, you can marry into the Feng family? Idiot!" Shen Jingyu turned to look at her with a gloomy look.
She really tolerated her for a long time.
She had never thought that this sister who grew up with her could be so stupid!
"So what if I can't marry into the Feng family? Anyway, my sister can't marry the Eighth Prince either? Since I'm not living well, my sister shouldn't even think about having an easy life." Shen Jingzhen said indifferently.
Shen Jingyu stared at her for a long while and sneered: "I think you are really crazy! Why would your father bring you to the court banquet!"
Why did you bring her here?
Of course it was because she went to ask Shen Shuyi for help. She was humble and attentive for who knows how many days before she got her consent.
It was only after she persuaded her father that he finally gave in.
"So what if I came? I didn't bring shame to the Shen family, nor did I cause any trouble. But it was my sister who let the tiger hurt people and even almost hurt His Majesty. She really brought shame to Daqian!"
"Yes, if it wasn't for my second sister to clean up the mess for you, I would have been punished today."
Shen Jingzhen ridiculed her rudely. Now, in her eyes, Shen Jingyu was no longer the high and mighty, impeccable elder sister.
How much stronger is she than me?
The entire Qin family backs her up and her mother dotes on her, but has she ever achieved what she wanted?
Shen Jingyu sneered and looked at Shen Jingzhen coldly: "You must have tampered with the strings."
A hint of guilt flashed across Shen Jingzhen's eyes, but she would never admit it.
"How can you blame me for your poor piano skills?"
Shen Jingyu sneered: "How could I, Shen Jingyu, have such a stupid sister like you! Do you think that if I am not doing well, you will be fine? If I am favored, you will have something to rely on even if you plan to marry into the Feng family in the future, but now, what do you have?"
"That's enough! Do you think I, Shen Jingzhen, am stupid? Stop trying to fool me with your lies! I will never believe you again!"
She had heard countless nonsense like this since she was a child, but when the crisis really came, she was the one who could be abandoned and sacrificed. In their hearts, she, Shen Jingzhen, was nothing!
Sun Yahui listened to the conversation between the two with her ears perked up, and at the same time felt that it was not appropriate for her to be there.
But it was freezing and snowing outside, and she was in poor health, so she really didn't know where she could go.
Shen Jingyu didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so she looked away and pursed her lips.
Is she not as good as Shen Shuyi?
No, she has been studying and practicing hard since she was young, and her grandmother has hired famous teachers for her. How could she be worse than Shen Shuyi?
But now she is already a county lady, while she is still nothing.
No, she wasn't going to let that get in her way.
She had to arrange her marriage with Princess Guining's family as soon as possible...
When Shen Jingzhen saw her turn around, she stared at her back with a hint of hatred in her eyes.
This heavy snow fell at a perfect time, just as she wanted to see how the wounds on Shen Jingyu's head and face healed.
She didn't know how many times she had begged her mother and grandmother, but they just watched her appearance being ruined and refused to give in.
But Shen Jingyu's face had almost recovered...
How on earth did she do it?

The next day, early in the morning.
The snow was still falling, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the paths that had been cleared in the palace.
When you step on it, it makes a crunching sound.
If you walk outside for a while, your eyelashes and eyebrows will be covered with a thick layer of frost and snow.
"Miss, be careful." Qin Xin supported Shen Shuyi, only to find that the road was really difficult to walk on.
At this rate, court officials and their wives will probably have to stay in the palace tonight.
The snow hasn't stopped yet, but the weather has become much colder. It is conceivable that when the heavy snow stops, it will be freezing cold.
After walking for a long time, Shen Shuyi finally arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Because of the heavy snow, it goes without saying that apart from being busy with their masters' daily lives, most of the eunuchs and palace maids who had free time were sent to sweep the palace roads.
When Shen Shuyi arrived, there were already quite a few people in the Imperial Garden.
But it was even worse than she had expected. The white-faced eunuch who was previously called Eunuch Sheng was now kicking a thin and dark figure.
"I told you to be lazy! I told you to play dead! Everyone else is working, why are you the only one playing dead?"
Xiao Shengzi kicked the man on the ground again and again. The figure was so thin and frail that he was almost completely buried in the snow.
"Stop hitting him. He's really not being lazy. He was injured and had a fever yesterday. If you keep hitting him, he might be dead!" Xiao Zhuanzi threw away the broom and hurried forward to protect him.
"Oh, you are a man of deep affection and loyalty. You want me to not make things difficult for him, okay? You have to do all his work and the work of the brothers for me!"
As Xiao Zhuangzi went to help Tong Guan up from the ground, he said, "I'll do it! I have no problem doing it, but the eunuchs have ordered us to clear the way before noon. I can't do it all by myself!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Shengzi kicked him in the face.
Xiao Zhuangzi fell a long way and was about to get up when he saw a figure beside him.
When the group saw Shen Shuyi, they all greeted him: "Greetings, sir."
When Xiao Shengzi saw Shen Shuyi, he immediately recognized her: "Meet the Princess of Changning County."
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Xiao Shengzi, and he said calmly: "I want to talk to Tong Guan and Xiao Zhuangzi alone."
“Please forgive me, my lady. It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but this job…” Xiao Shengzi was unhappy in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Shen Shuyi chuckled, raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and her eyes were full of coldness: "It seems that I am too easy to talk to. I have to look at the face of the eunuch when I want to order a servant."
