Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"What on earth is Auntie thinking? How can such a useless thing be worthy of this?"

After hearing the whole story, Lu Xu seemed to get even angrier.

"What the hell is the Shen family! And your father is too partial to you, to treat you like this! If your father hadn't pressed you hard, your aunt would never have arranged your marriage so hastily..."

Lu Xu's words were quite exciting, which inexplicably made Xu Xingyin's eyes warm.

Besides my mother, there is someone else who cares about me so much. Just thinking about it makes me feel warm in my heart.

I don’t know what happened, but after Lu Xu said this, Xu Xingyin felt a little aggrieved, as he didn’t take it to heart at all.

People are always like this. When no one cares about them, they can hide their cowardice and resist thousands of troops on their own.

But in front of trusted friends and family, he became a weak little crybaby, unable to hide even the slightest grievance.

Looking at the mist in Xu Xingyin's eyes, Lu Xu felt his heart suddenly shrink and the pain came unexpectedly.

However, Xu Xingyin recovered very quickly. When Lu Xu looked over again, the man was already grinning and approaching to gossip.

"How long has it been since we last went on the boat? I didn't see you last time I went to the government office. What have you been busy with recently?"

Lu Xu moved back, putting some distance between himself and Xu Xingyin, then subconsciously covered the place where he was injured last time, shook his head and spoke in a calm tone.

"The government has many affairs to attend to, and we can't always go to Shuntian Prefecture."

"Oh." Xu Xingyin responded, but didn't delve into it further.

"What are your plans for Shen Er's matter?"

"Maintaining the status quo."

"Why?"

Lu Xu almost jumped up from his seat, his eyes red, "Shen Er treats you like this, are you really willing to marry him?"

"Is he worthy?"

Xu Xingyin chuckled and shook his head.

"I didn't tell my mother because she's eager to marry me off. If I told her, even if the marriage with the Shen family doesn't work out, there will be other families. I have reasons and evidence that I absolutely cannot marry Shen Er, so it's good to use him to delay for a while. The most important thing right now is to find out the case of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and I don't want to spend too much energy dealing with these things."

"Auntie must make you marry?"

Xu Xingyin shrugged, "It's only a matter of time."

The nonchalant tone caused indescribable emotions to quickly spread throughout his body.

A certain strange feeling grew wildly and uncontrollably like a raging fire, turning into endless vines that wrapped around Lu Xu and made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Lu Xu knew since he was a child that Xu Xingyin was the future Crown Princess and the person he was destined to look up to.

Xu Xingyin is the beloved granddaughter of General Zhennan, and she grew up learning martial arts in General Zhennan's mansion.

Logically speaking, Xu Xingyin was his junior sister, and it was his duty to take care of her.

It seemed like they grew up like this. He protected Xu Xingyin, and Xu Xingyin unceremoniously threw the blame to him. He said he was reluctant, but he never refused.

Even if it was to repay General Zhennan's kindness, this was what he should do, Lu Xu thought.

Later, when Lu Xu learned that there was a change in Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen's marriage, he was secretly delighted.

It was like a light suddenly appearing in a chaotic world, and suddenly the clouds and mist parted to reveal the bright moon.

Now, since Chen doesn't want Xu Xingyin to marry into the Eastern Palace, then isn't Lu Xu a better choice than the damn Shen family?

"Bright."

The man's sudden call startled Xu Xingyin, who was having tea. When she looked up, she saw the man looking at her seriously.

"Please take care of your aunt for now. I will find a way to help you."

"How to help?"

"Don't worry about it." Lu Xu said, "I have my own way."

Xu Xingyin had no doubts and patted Lu Xu's shoulder happily, smiling in a very fawning manner.

"Then I will completely rely on Master Lu!"

"Easy to say."

Seeing her so cunning, Lu Xu's originally gloomy mood brightened up, and he finally explained.

"I will be away from Beijing for a while. If you have any difficulties during this time, just go to my house and find the butler directly."

"I saved it."

……

Shen Er's appearance ruined Xu Xingyin's good mood for buying gifts. He didn't dare to wander around anymore and went back home with Dan Feng.

Xu Xingyin was determined to use a delaying tactic and did not reveal a single word of this matter to Chen.

What Xu Xingyin didn't expect was that her little trick was accidentally ruined by those guilty people.

Shen Er started to feel uneasy from the moment he returned that day, fearing that Xu Xingyin would reveal the truth to him at some point.

In the end, Xu Xingyin didn't say anything, but he couldn't hold it back and confessed to get leniency.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen was extremely angry and brought generous gifts to the Duke's Mansion to apologize.

Chen, who had never heard any news of the incident, was extremely confused until the other party explained his purpose. Only then did Chen's face turn pale with fright.

She almost pushed her precious daughter into the fire!

Xu Xingyin was fiddling with his things in Chenguang Courtyard. When he heard Dangui report this, he almost rolled his eyes.

How dare Shen Er, so stupid as to dare to gamble?

It's a shame to lose everything!

After mercilessly criticizing Shen Er, Xu Xingyin still had to take Chen's feelings into consideration. He was about to go and explain to Chen with his maid when he heard the maid outside come in and report that the lady had arrived.

Although he knew Chen's intention, Xu Xingyin still pretended to be ignorant and went to greet him.

As soon as Chen opened her mouth, she apologized to Xu Xingyin.

The gist of it was that she didn't know people well, and she also said that she was indeed deceived by the obedient appearance of the second son of the Shen family.

This was not Chen's fault, so Xu Xingyin naturally would not care too much about it and comforted Chen in a soft voice.

After much difficulty in coaxing Chen, she suddenly changed the subject and tentatively asked Xu Xingyin for his opinion on another matter.

"The Shen family came here today with sincerity, saying that their second son is not worthy of you, and asked me if I am willing to marry you to the eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Haoyuan. Shen Haoyuan also came today to plead guilty on behalf of his brother. It is rare for him to take on such a responsibility, and his courtesy is very appropriate. I think he is better than the second Shen."

"Does mother think it's appropriate?"

Xu Xingyin asked back directly.

"Based on my relationship with Madam Shen, they will definitely not make things difficult for you when you marry into their family. This alone is much better than other families. Although Shen Er is not a very ambitious person, Shen Haoyuan is a good kid with a good reputation. If it weren't for Shen Er's scandal, the Shen family probably wouldn't have easily pushed Shen Haoyuan out."

"Since mother knows this, she must know that the reason why the Shen family is like this is just because they are afraid that the scandal will spread out, so they took the benefits to keep us silent. If we agree to this marriage, do you think it is appropriate?"
