Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci's smile did not reach his eyes. He knelt slightly and saluted, saying, "Ninth sister."

"Stop standing here and go into the mansion."

Yan Ru acted as enthusiastically as a real sister, walked forward, took Yan Ci's arm, and pulled her towards the mansion.

There was a moment of surprise in Yan Ci's eyes. Just as he was about to push Yan Ru away, he heard Yan Ru lower his voice and said, "Since you haven't broken your promise, I'll remind you that Shen Zhaoyan once asked me to write a letter to trick you into coming to the palace. I don't know what he wants to do."

He paused for a moment before pushing Yan Ru's hand away, then raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ru.

Her face was 70% similar to Aunt Zhao's, and only the remaining 30% was like Yan Tonglin, so her face naturally had a bit of meanness.

Plus, Yan Ru didn't like Yan Ci in the first place, and even though he said the words of warning with good intentions, his face was still full of disdain and arrogance.

Yan Ci was a little surprised. Has Yan Ru changed his personality?

Feeling that Yan Ci was looking at her, Yan Ru's face froze, and the smile she had forced with great difficulty also froze on her face.

He said in a stiff tone: "Look at what I am doing, don't you believe it?"

Yan Ci suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and his smile was also a little playful, "I didn't expect you to be so kind to tell me, aren't you afraid that I am secretly in collusion with the King of Xiang?"

Yan Ru rolled her eyes, her cheeks feeling a little hot. At first, she did think so in her heart, but she was not stupid. If Shen Zhaoyan really wanted to have a secret affair with Yan Ci, he would never tell her and would only interact with Yan Ci quietly.

But she would not admit it, and simply ignored the second half of the sentence and replied: "I already said that it was because you kept your promise, I don't have that much kindness to give you."

Ever since Shen Zhaoyan told her about asking Yan Ci to come to the mansion that day, she had made up her mind. Anyway, Yan Ci had already agreed to come to Prince Xiang's Mansion. If she really came, she would do her a favor and tell her what Shen Zhaoyan said. After all, if Yan Ci really came, it would prove that she really wanted to help her.

But if Yan Ci didn't come, it would be none of her business. It was Yan Ci's problem. If Shen Zhaoyan wanted to settle the score, he could only blame Yan Ci.

Listening to Yan Ru's stubborn words, Yan Ci smiled. She was indeed still a little girl. In the past, she and her were like enemies because of Han Liang, but now that they were married, her attitude became better.

"Okay, whatever you say is what I will do. Anyway, I appreciate your favor."

Hearing Yan Ci's words, Yan Ru's pouting lips slowly turned into a smile.

Guess she knows the truth.

The two sisters walked along the road towards the mansion. Yan Ru didn't say where they were going, and Yan Ci didn't ask either, because she knew that Shen Zhaoyan would show up soon.

Sure enough, just as the two of them reached a fork in the road, they "coincidentally met" Shen Zhaoyan who was walking from the other side of the path.

Looking at Shen Zhaoyan's pretended surprise, Yan Ci sneered inwardly, but her face showed the panic that was consistent with her personality.

Yan Ru knelt down and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing Yan Ci standing aside without saying anything and not greeting her, he couldn't help but reach out and tug at her, smiling and continuing, "This is my thirteenth sister. She came to the palace to see me. It was a bit rude, Your Majesty, please don't blame her."

Shen Zhaoyan's smile deepened. He took two steps forward and looked at Yan Ci, saying, "No problem. The concubine's sister is also my sister. Since the Thirteenth Miss has come to the palace, I will do my best to be a good host. Please invite the Thirteenth Miss to the front hall to chat?"

It sounded like he was asking for Yan Ci's opinion, but his tone was so firm that he could not refuse.

Yan Ci took two unsteady steps back. Ding Si, who had been following her, stood beside Yan Ci and looked at Shen Zhaoyan with a cold gaze.

Being stared at directly by Ding Si, Shen Zhaoyan was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes softened as he looked at Yan Ci. "Don't worry, I am not a cannibal. Besides, your sister is here too. What else can I do to you?"

Yan Ru was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the way Shen Zhaoyan looked at Yan Ci and loosened her grip on Yan Ci's hand.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at Yan Ci who was silent and glanced at Yan Ru.

Receiving Shen Zhaoyan's gaze, Yan Ru put away her own wild thoughts and once again affectionately held Yan Ci's arm, but this intimacy was just a casual arm around him.

Then I heard Yan Ru say, "Yes, sister, I'll go with you. Let's go to the hall and sit down and talk. The prince told me a few days ago that he admires your talent."

Yan Ci seemed to be moved by what Yan Ru said, and was held intimately by Yan Ru. It was difficult for him to refuse firmly, so he could only nod slowly.

When Shen Zhaoyan saw that Yan Ci agreed, he immediately turned around and walked towards the front hall. Yan Ru and Yan Ci followed closely behind him, and Ding Si followed at the end.

Without Shen Zhaoyan watching over her, Yan Ru was about to let go of Yan Ci's hand, but found that she couldn't.

This time it was not her who was pulling Yan Ci, but Yan Ci who was holding her tightly.

Yan Ru was so surprised that she looked at Yan Ci in a daze, wanting to ask Yan Ci for an explanation, but was met with Yan Ci's half-smile, the mockery in his eyes was obvious.

Yan Ru understood what Yan Ci's provocative look meant: it's all acting, so just go ahead and act.

Among three actors, whoever gets serious first loses.

Yan Ru suddenly felt his anger grow.

Did she even suspect that Yan Ci really came to the palace to get her into trouble?

Not quite like it.

Very unlike.

The distance from the door to the front hall was very short. Before Yan Ru could break free from Yan Ci, the three of them had already arrived at the front hall.

Shen Zhaoyan walked in front. When he reached the main hall, he winked at Dao Ji who was standing at the door, and then strode in.

Dao Ji nodded slightly, and when he saw Yan Ru, Yan Ci, and Ding Si approaching, he waited for the Yan Ru sisters to enter the hall and raised his hand to block Ding Si.

"According to the palace rules, the servants are waiting outside."

Watching Yan Ci turning into the main hall, Ding Si secretly clenched his fists.

A Ci told him not to be impulsive, but he would do it.

He glanced at Daoji, then turned and stood by another door.

After Yan Ci sat down in the main hall, he realized that Ding Si behind him did not follow him in. Thinking of the personal guard of Shen Zhaoyan he saw at the door just now, he knew that he must have been stopped.

Before she had time to think about it, she heard Shen Zhaoyan say to Yan Ru: "Concubine, go prepare some tea."

Yan Ru paused after sitting down, knowing that Shen Zhaoyan was going to get rid of her. She looked at Yan Ci deeply, but still stood up obediently and agreed, "I'll go right away."

Seeing Yan Ru leaving the main hall, Yan Ci knew that Shen Zhaoyan had something to say to her.

Only Shen Zhaoyan and Yan Ci were left in the main hall, and Shen Zhaoyan stopped acting.

"Miss Thirteen, you should know what I want to tell you."

Yan Ci looked at Shen Zhaoyan's handsome face with a fake smile and gave him the lowest score in his heart.

They are all royal descendants and have inherited the genes of the Shen family. The cousin prince is gentle and elegant, and Shen Zhaoyi is cheerful and handsome. Only Shen Zhaoyan has a face full of conspiracy and calculation, which makes his handsome face go to waste.

Yan Ci suppressed his nausea and said, "I know, but I won't steal Sister Nine's husband. Your Highness should give up as soon as possible."
