Chapter 4 The Fifth Prince
Chen Xintong woke up before dawn. Before Shen Ruihua arrived in the Shen Mansion, she had finished dressing up and was waiting to go out quickly to see how Chen Xinmo was making a fool of herself. She felt quite impatient.
After Chen Ruihua arrived at Chen Mansion, he sat down and waited not long after he saw Chen Xintong coming in a gentle manner. He was very surprised that in the past, the second lady of the Shen family had been late.
However, after thinking for a while, he understood in his heart. Chen Xinmo had just returned to his house yesterday. This morning, Chen Xintong sent her personal maid to invite him, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk together. This was obviously because the drunkard was not drunk. Chen Xinmo left the capital for several months just to avoid rumors in the capital. The limelight has not passed yet. If Chen Xinmo shows up at this time, he will probably attract onlookers. Chen Xintong has always been incompatible with Chen Xinmo, and it is probably because she wants to see her make a fool of herself.
Poor that she was also used by her. But Chen Ruihua had no choice. Even if he guessed Chen Xintong's intention, he would still have to get closer to the Shen family. Chen Xinmo's parents are no longer there. She is an orphan in the Shen family and cannot be liked by her grandfather Shangshu. When she gets married in the future, her relationship with the Shen family will become weaker and weaker. Chen Xintong is different. After Shangshu's hundred years, the one who is in charge of the Shen family will be her father. Her brother and younger brother are also promising, and their future will be limitless. No matter how stupid a person is, he can see who should be on the side between Shen Xintong and Shen Xinmo.
Chen Xintong didn't have the patience of waiting for others. After saying hello to Chen Ruihua, she just sat down and waited for a while and was impatient. She sent her servants to urge Chen Xinmo and said, "I haven't come after so long. I don't know if I deliberately hide and dare not go out."
Chen Ruihua was a little embarrassed. He was not good at responding to such words, so he quickly brought tea and pretended not to hear it.
Seeing a cup of tea, Chen Xinmo finally appeared. Haitang red cross-collar skirt, Chen Ruihua and Shen Xintong were stunned for a moment. The exposed neck was white and delicate, the makeup on his face was delicate, and the whole body was filled with a luxurious and unsightly aura.
Yesterday, Chen Xinmo returned home in a dress of ink clothes, which made Chen Xintong startled. Today, she was surprised to see her in such a bright color.
Chen Xinmo never wore such brightly-colored clothes before, but mostly light blue, all of which were light colors, just because the fifth prince liked it. The fifth prince once said that women should wear elegantly and neatly to look more and more pitiful. If they are bright colors, they would become vulgar and upset when they look.
Because of this, Chen Xinmo not only did not wear brightly-colored clothes before, but her makeup on her face was also extremely light. However, today, Chen Xinmo not only dressed brightly, but even her makeup on her face was so delicate. This was not her previous habit.
Chen Ruihua looked at Chen Xinmo for a moment. Chen Xinmo in front of her had nothing to do with the word "vulgar". She was so exquisitely dressed that she just stood there quietly with a momentum, which made people dare not offend her. Moreover, she had an outstanding appearance, and after such careful makeup, she seemed to suppress the bright spring scenery a little.
This is also the reason why Chen Xinmo dressed up so grandly. She avoided the capital and came back after doing something very embarrassing. Chen Xintong asked her to go shopping in the street market together. In fact, she just wanted everyone to see that she was back, and then she raised the old things and pointed at her. She felt relieved and felt comfortable.
It’s not that I can’t turn it off, but since I’m back, it’s not a way to hide. Can I hide for a while and still be able to hide for a lifetime? I’ll have to face it sooner or later.
Since you have to face it, don’t be like a defeated rooster, dejected and haggard. Even if you are discussed, you should dress up brightly and beautifully and be discussed.
Chen Xintong glanced at Chen Xinmo's exquisite makeup and snorted coldly in her heart, "What's the use of dressing up like?" Your reputation is already terrible, and no matter how bright and beautiful the appearance is, it cannot cover the stench emitted from your body."
"Let's go." She didn't want to waste time anymore, so she didn't say much, just wanted to go to the crowded street market as soon as possible.
As expected, when he arrived at the street market, Chen Xintong proposed to abandon the carriage and walk through the streets. Chen Ruihua looked at Chen Xinmo and saw that she had no objection, he naturally would not object. He just felt strange in his heart, why did Chen Xinmo come back after coming out for a few months? It seemed that Chen Xinmo had completely changed. If it weren't for his face being exactly the same as before, he would have thought that Chen Xinmo was not the same as before.
Chen Xinmo was soon recognized. Although her dress was very different from before, she might be a little suspicious when she saw her, but seeing Chen Xintong and Shen Ruihua were still following her, people confirmed that she must be Chen Xinmo, the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
She actually came back to the capital. Aren’t she afraid that she would drown her?
Ignoring the people beside him looking and muttering, Chen Xinmo stood there with a calm expression and picked things. Anyway, some people said that he would pay for money, so he would not be idle.
"This Shen family's eldest lady seems to be different from before..."
"It seems...it's not much..."
Chen Xintong originally wanted to see Chen Xinmo appear ugly, but she had been shopping all morning and there were many people watching and discussing it. However, Chen Xinmo seemed to have never heard or seen it from beginning to end, and she didn't even frown. Chen Xinmo had been out for a few months and her ability really increased.
OK, you can bear it first. I see that you can still bear it after meeting the fifth prince later.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Chen Xintong suggested: "I'm tired after visiting for so long. There is a teahouse in front of me. Let's go and take a rest."
Although Chen Xintong said this, she did not mean to ask the other two people in the same journey. Chen Xinmo felt it didn't matter. Didn't Chen Xintong just want to see her angry and ugly? She didn't say anything all morning. She was afraid that she would be very annoyed, so she naturally wanted to take a break and take a sip of tea to calm her anger.
The teahouse lobby was full of guests, and everyone was listening carefully to the beautiful girl singing the song on the stage. Chen Xinmo also listened carefully to a few sentences, and the girl's voice was indeed gentle and beautiful.
At this time, a servant came up with a smile on his face, "Three guests, the downstairs are already full, why don't you go upstairs to sit?"
"Okay." Chen Xintong answered first.
Such an impatient tone made Chen Xinmo wonder if she had other arrangements for her.
I followed the servant to the second floor and arranged a dozen square tables along the fence. These square tables looked much better than those downstairs, and obviously they had to pay more money to sit.
So although the downstairs are full, there are not many guests on the second floor. It's just strange that the guests on the second floor seem to be gathered to sit in the north, and there is only one guest sitting in the south. It is a young man. Chen Xinmo can only see his side face. Judging from the outline of his side face, he should be a pretty man.
Just as Shen Xinmo looked at his side face, the man felt her gaze and looked in her direction. In just a moment, the man frowned deeply, and the look of disgust in his eyes was not concealed at all.
