Chapter 404 Today's Changes
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Please go back home early."
"Okay, I'll go back now and visit you again another day." The Princess of Nanyue nodded in agreement.
"Farewell to the princess."
After closing the door, Tao Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, "I must quickly build a fence to protect my medicinal field!"
Back at the villa, the Princess of Nanyue's face was still flushed and her heart was still beating fast.
Along the way, the feeling of Shen Siyan's embrace kept appearing in her mind, warm and safe. Whenever she thought of that moment, her heart couldn't help but beat faster again.
"Master Shen..." She murmured to herself. The maids around her exchanged glances and remained silent.
After a long time, the princess finally calmed down and asked, "Have you found out? Who is the Shen family master's fiancée?"
"Reporting to the princess, Master Shen and Miss Ye are already engaged." The maid replied.
"Su Mansion?"
"It's a small family. They were rewarded because their ancestors saved the emperor."
When the Princess of Nanyue heard this, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. It turned out that she was not the daughter of a prominent family, but just the daughter of an ordinary family. How could she be worthy of the head of the Shen family?
The head of the Shen family is so brave, he deserves to marry a beautiful woman of high status and talent!
"I heard……"
"What did you hear?"
"It is said that after Miss Ye divorced her mother, she took her back to her mother's home."
"Divorce?" The Princess of Nanyue opened her eyes wide in surprise.
How could a divorced woman have a good reputation? And such a thing was extremely rare at the time! The head of the Shen family actually wanted to marry such a person with a controversial background.
"She is not worthy of Master Shen at all!" Princess Nanyue said firmly. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. How could a perfect man like Master Shen accept a woman with a damaged reputation as his wife?
Tao Qiming was busy repairing the fence of the medicinal field, and after taking off his disguise, he forgot about the matter of the Princess of Nanyue.
No one told Shen Siyan about the Princess of Nanyue's visit, and her visit was extremely secretive, so the matter ended silently.
Only the Princess of Nanyue blushed and her heart beat fast in the dead of night, and she kept recalling the moment when Shen Siyan hugged her tightly.
After some inquiries, she learned a lot of bad rumors about Ye Yunzi's past, which made the Princess of Nanyue even more dissatisfied. How could she be engaged to the head of the Shen family? This was simply a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
Of course, the beautiful flower here refers to the head of the Shen family. He is handsome and gentle, and he should marry a noble lady of equal status, not a woman of humble origin like Ye Yunzi.
As her dissatisfaction grew, the Princess of Nanyue finally came up with a solution. Since the two had not yet been married, why not cancel the engagement directly? The nobles in the capital city valued their reputation the most. As long as Ye Yunzi's reputation was ruined, the engagement would naturally be cancelled.
Thinking of this, the Princess of Nanyue felt excited. She immediately invited many celebrities in the capital, including Ye Yunzi, to come, intending to make her look bad in front of everyone so that she would never be able to hold her head up again.
The Su family received the invitation.
Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, "Princess of Nanyue?"
For a small family, it is rare to receive a personal invitation from the Princess of Nanyue.
"Maybe it's because the Princess of Nanyue has just arrived in the capital and wants to meet some people." Yu Shu guessed.
Although Ye Yunzi was puzzled by this matter, she decided to attend the party considering not being rude. "But this princess is really special. She is eager to go boating in the lake just as spring begins."
The weather is still cold at this time, and your hands and feet will freeze if you stand outside for a while. Normally, you should wait another two months until spring comes and flowers bloom before it is a good time to go boating.
Ye Yunzi was not very interested in the Princess of Nanyue, nor did she think much about it. Anyway, she didn't have many friends, so she would just join in the fun.
The next day, Ye Yunzi chose a plain moon-white dress, which was simple in style but perfectly set off her delicate temperament. After dressing up a little, she took a carriage to keep the appointment.
An exquisite pleasure boat was quietly moored by the lake, and the laughter of women floated out from the cabin. Ye Yunzi and Yu Shu quietly walked into the pleasure boat and stood in an inconspicuous corner, trying not to attract other people's attention.
However, a woman with gorgeous clothes and outstanding appearance raised her head, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle. After the maid beside her bowed her head and whispered a few words, the woman's eyes became cold and full of inquiry.
Ye Yunzi was puzzled. She had never seen the Princess of Nanyue, but she seemed hostile to her.
"Are you Ye Yunzi?" The princess' voice was clear and loud, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Everyone cast complicated looks at him, with both envy and jealousy. Who could have thought that the gentle and elegant head of the Shen family would be engaged to Ye Yunzi, who had a bad reputation?
"It's me, Your Highness." Ye Yunzi responded with a smile, trying to remain calm.
Princess Nanyue looked at Ye Yunzi carefully, and saw that she was wearing a simple moon-white dress, with only light makeup on her face, and she was not outstanding. This made the princess even more dissatisfied: How could such an ordinary woman be worthy of the talented Shen Siyan?
No matter how beautifully Ye Yunzi dressed, there would always be flaws in the princess's eyes.
Although she was unhappy in her heart, the princess still maintained her politeness on the surface: "No need to be so polite, please take a seat."
As Ye Yunzi sat down, the atmosphere in the painting boat changed subtly, and sometimes someone cast a complicated look at her. At this time, Wang Jinyin, the young lady of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, came to Ye Yunzi and seemed particularly friendly.
"I have invited you to visit the Marquis' Mansion many times, but it has never happened." Wang Jinyin said enthusiastically.
Ye Yunzi apologized and explained, "I've been busy lately and can't spare the time. I'll definitely visit you another day."
When the two were talking happily, a woman in a red dress interrupted and said bitterly, "If Master Shen hadn't chosen Miss Ye, it would have been Miss Wang a long time ago, right?"
Wang Jinyin's face changed slightly when she heard this. The news about the marriage between the two families was once a hot topic, until the news that Shen Siyan proposed to the Su family spread, and then everything was settled.
"Miss Qu, what you said is too much. Since Master Shen and Miss Ye are in love, we should bless them." Wang Jinyin retorted gently, sincerely hoping that this couple can be happy.
She had long since put aside her personal feelings and believed that in the entire capital, only Shen Siyan was worthy of a woman as smart and brave as Ye Yunzi.
Miss Qu obviously didn't expect her remarks to be refuted, and was even more surprised that Wang Jinyin actually stood on Ye Yunzi's side. After all, the relationship between the two was not friendly before, and the change now was puzzling.
Ye Yunzi looked at Wang Jinyin again, her heart full of gratitude. Ever since that incident, her gratitude had become more sincere.
