Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 405 - 404: Don’t Fall for Her Pitiful Act
Gongsun Chi was unclear about the deep-rooted enmity between the two and did not think speaking would resolve it, nor did he intervene.
Liu Qingxi immediately hid behind Shen Chen, acting coy and frightened, shouting, "Mr. Shen, don’t leave me behind, I want to go with you. The third young lady from the Minister’s Mansion will hit people, and I don’t dare to go with her."
Her small hand already grasped the azure robe on Shen Chen’s back, showing half her head, timidly staring at Ye Zhi.
Everything happened naturally, yet it caught people off guard. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The situation changed rapidly.
Now it seemed that Ye Zhi wanted to hit someone, and Liu Qingxi was hiding behind the heroic Shen Chen for protection??
Impatience appeared on Ye Zhi’s delicate, pale face, glaring at Shen Chen with almond-shaped eyes: "Don’t listen to her pretend to be pitiful, wasn’t she very arrogant just now? Is she afraid now? You have things to do, you should quickly leave with Gongsun Chi, this is a grudge between her and me."
Huanhuan naturally stood by Ah Zhi, taking a step forward, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Ah Zhi, showing an innocent and harmless demeanor: "Xiao Chen, Ah Zhi and I certainly won’t hit her, she’s no match for us, we’ll just have a chat."
Indeed, if it came to a fight, among the pampered and noble young ladies of the same age in the capital, it would be hard to find a match for the two of them.
Of course, trained ones are not included.
For example: people from Six Gates, General Dingyuan’s granddaughter, the youngest daughter of the Director of the Ministry of Rites sent to Wuxiang Peak from a young age...
Counting carefully, there were quite a few...
"I have nothing to talk to you about, you probably don’t know, your rude reputation has spread throughout Chang’an City, who doesn’t know that the third young lady from the Minister’s Mansion plays with knives and guns, having no demeanor of a well-bred lady. Just the other day, I went to the poetry meeting at the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, and only then did I hear someone mention you."
Liu Qingxi’s mocking demeanor was evident, thinking that by speaking ill of Ye Zhi in front of Shen Chen, he would see what kind of person she was. Her face was even more smug, smiling more behind Shen Chen, showing a uniquely youthful posture.
The first thing Ye Zhi noticed was: "Xiao Chen, men and women should keep a distance, how can you let her pull your clothes, quickly push her away."
She moved personally, stepping forward, circling behind Shen Chen, trying to push the person away.
The other party was aggressive, Liu Qingxi’s face tensed, reluctantly letting go of her hand.
A faint indifferent look left two small handprints on the azure robe of the young man.
Ye Zhi pushed Shen Chen’s shoulder, saying grumpily, "Why didn’t you push her away just now?"
Shen Chen was also very displeased with Liu Qingxi’s behavior, his face growing cold, he said blandly, "She doesn’t know martial arts, I was afraid of hurting her."
Everyone automatically understood: afraid of Liu Qingxi getting hurt.
On Lingyang Street, the morning sun faintly spread over red bricks and green tiles, building eaves and rooftops, the streets slowly filling with people.
People tend to appreciate beautiful people and things.
The pleasing youth and girl stood in one place, with passing pedestrians frequently looking back.
Qinglian stood on the side, not stepping forward to speak for Ah Zhi, her oratory was not as good as Huanhuan’s, she rarely argued with people, fearing she would not gain any advantage.
Ye Zhi also noticed the increasing number of passersby, lowering her voice somewhat: "Liu Qingxi, do you dare to go with me to the lakeside of Yanming Lake and clarify things?"
The Yanming Lake had fewer people and was quieter.
There were many corners there, where they could have a good talk.
Indeed, it seemed both Ye Zhi and Liu Qingxi had never really spoken peaceably to each other before.
