Chapter 344: A Blind Stupid Man
Shen Ziyan looked at the two of them, silent for a moment, then said, "Sangzi, go and ask Brother Lanzhi to come."
Upon hearing this, the palace maid who had previously scolded Shu He left.
Seeing this, everyone looked around at each other and talked in low voices.
"Princess Zi Yan, do you believe what those two said? Could they really be acquaintances of Prince Lanzhi?"
"And King Liu, although I've never seen him, I've heard he's filled with murderous intent. He wears a black ghost mask, like a demon from hell. He kills anyone he sees, even if he's not happy with him!"
"Can a man like this really have a friend? And a woman?"
"Hush! Stop talking! Once Princess Zi Yan invites Prince Lan Zhi over, everything will be settled! If it's fake, Princess Zi Yan won't let these two women go! Let's just wait and see!"
Shu He pulled Zhang Zhirou to sit in the corner, looking relaxed and at ease, as if he was not worried about Shen Lanzhi's arrival at all.
Not long after, the man named Sang Zi brought Shen Lanzhi here. When he came, his face was tense and his brows showed displeasure.
"Look, is that Prince Lanzhi? Why does he seem so cold? Is he angry because he's being used as a shield?"
"I can tell at a glance! I heard that Crown Prince Lanzhi was often bullied when he was a child. He only managed to turn things around after he gained power and inherited the throne five years ago. It's said that he has a bad temper, and those who offend him usually end up in a bad way!"
"Now we're going to have a good show. Let's see how those two merchant women die!"
Zhang Zhirou glanced coldly at the person who spoke, and really looked down on these so-called noble ladies of Kyoto.
He believes everything he hears, is flattering and arrogant, and thinks that because his family has some influence, he can look down on others. Little do they know that in this world, status is not king! No matter what field, as long as you have achieved a certain level of success, you will naturally be looked up to!
On the contrary, if you don’t have anything of your own, even if you have a strong backing, you will not be noticed by people in high positions!
Zhang Xuehan was basically certain that Shu He and the others were lying, and she spoke with even more confidence.
"You two, it's not too late to admit your mistakes now. I've heard that Prince Lanzhi is upright and honest. If you find someone using his name to defraud people, your lives will be in danger!"
At this time, Chen Wan'er stood beside Zhang Xuehan and chuckled, "Sister Xuehan, I'm afraid these two didn't recognize who Prince Lanzhi is!"
Everyone burst into laughter and looked towards the corridor.
These young ladies from official families of low rank have never seen what Prince Lanzhi looks like!
"I heard that someone is using this prince's name to defraud people?!"
Shen Lanzhi was led by Sang Zi and walked over from the corner of the corridor.
The first time he revealed his true appearance in front of the children of Kyoto's noble families, he caused quite a commotion as soon as he appeared.
He was wearing a long green robe with a wide emerald belt around his waist, looking noble and elegant.
His beautiful and heroic eyebrows exude a faint air of arrogance, like the breeze in the mountains, with a bit of elegance and calmness.
"Is that Prince Lanzhi? He is indeed handsome and elegant, with a wonderful temperament!"
An exclamation broke the girls' fantasy. Chen Wan'er blushed slightly and walked in front of Shen Lanzhi.
She pointed at Shu He and Zhang Zhirou, who were still as steady as a rock, and said, "Prince Lanzhi, it's them!"
"They both snuck in during the chaos. Not only that, they even said you personally invited them! But we all know the Crown Prince isn't sociable. He wouldn't even bother with a visit from a princess or prince, let alone an invitation to someone else."
Seeing Shen Lanzhi, Liu Yuling also became a little too proud. "That's right! These two bitches not only insulted you, but also spoke wildly, saying that they are good friends with your country's Prince Liu, and that Prince Liu allowed them not to bow. They even refused to bow to the princess. How disrespectful!"
"Your Highness, what these two said and did was simply outrageous! You must not let them off easily!!"
Zhang Zhirou didn't say anything either, looking coldly at the two stupid women and the indifferent Shen Lanzhi.
She wanted to see what he would do.
Shen Lanzhi's face turned cold, and she suddenly said, "Come here, slap him!"
After hearing this, almost everyone's face showed surprise and excitement.
The fun is about to begin!
Upon hearing this, Sang Zi showed a bit of pride on her face and immediately agreed, "As you command!"
"See! It's really fake! Prince Lanzhi is going to teach them a lesson!" someone said gloatingly.
Shu He's expression remained calm, but Zhang Zhirou frowned, thinking, "What's wrong with Shen Lanzhi? Has she turned her back on me?!"
Just as Sang Zi raised her hand to hit Shu He in the face, she was suddenly hit by a strong force, pulling her body to the side; then, a loud and powerful slap landed on her face.
Everyone was stunned!
What's going on?
Why was she the one who was slapped in the face by Prince Lanzhi?
Sang Zi was stunned by the beating and looked at him in disbelief, "Lan, Prince Lanzhi, why did you hit me?"
A trace of contempt flashed in Shen Lanzhi's eyes. "You've been in the palace for so many years, and you can't even understand what I'm saying?"
Sang Zi was a little confused. What did it mean?
"When I say slap, I mean those two idiots who spoke so rudely! Who gave you the guts to touch my friends?!"
His cold glance scared Sang Zi so much that he took several steps back, and his eyes uncontrollably looked towards Shen Ziyan for help.
Shen Ziyan glared at her unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? Brother Lanzhi, don't you understand what I said?"
Sang Zi lowered his eyes, then a sinister look appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Yuling and Chen Wan'er twice.
She put all her strength into those two slaps, and her palms hurt. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been beaten or scolded!
Liu Yuling and the other person were both furious and their cheeks were burning with pain, but they could only dare not say anything.
Shen Lanzhi glanced at them and said, "If your status is not high enough, then learn how to write the word 'humility'! Otherwise, next time it won't just be a slap in the face, it's that simple!"
After saying that, he walked up to Shu He and changed his previous indifferent expression, "I was wondering why I couldn't find you anywhere. It turns out that you ran to the back here!"
His eyes softened, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the women were stunned.
Prince Lanzhi, is this your face? Why is it so different from just now?
"You have my invitation, so you can sit in the front row. Why are you coming here to lower your status?"
Shu He clapped her hands, stood up, and glanced at those "noble ladies". She found that they lowered their heads slightly, avoiding looking at her.
She chuckled and said, "I just want to quietly appreciate the exotic flowers in the garden." And watch the show quietly.
"Who knew it would cause such a commotion? Sorry for making the trip."
As soon as Shu He finished speaking, Shen Ziyan glared at Shen Lanzhi, "Brother Lanzhi, this is your fault! You had a friend coming, but you didn't even tell us in advance, causing Ziyan to misunderstand the two sisters."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and held Shu He's hand affectionately, with a look of apology on her face. "So, I really am a friend of Brother Lanzhi and Big Brother B. Zi Yan was rude just now, please forgive me."
"This place is small and the sun is too strong. Why don't you two follow Zi Yan and sit in the front?"
After hearing this, Shen Lanzhi also said meaningfully, "The view from the front row is better. You won't be disappointed!"
Shu He knew that the "scenery" he was referring to was probably Shu Yue.
He nodded and said, "That's good. If you're here, it will prevent others from misunderstanding."
She also didn't want to spend the entire banquet under other people's strange looks.
The corners of his mouth lifted, and a hint of pride appeared between his eyebrows. "There are too many fools in this world, and too many blind people. I said long ago that I would be there to protect you!"
You drove him away before, do you regret it now?
Zhang Zhirou glared at him and said unhappily, "Shen Lanzhi, stop trying to get close to me!"
After they walked away, the ladies in the back rows all looked at Lucy Liu and Chen Wan'er.
There was anger, dissatisfaction, and resentment in his eyes.
"It's obviously those two who are blind, why did Prince Lanzhi scold us as well?" I am not a blind idiot!
"That's right! Look at the conversation between those two girls and Prince Lanzhi, they're clearly very familiar with each other! And these two even suspect that he has a fake invitation! They are simply short-sighted and blind!"
Liu Yuling's back teeth almost broke when she heard these sarcasms! She lowered her eyebrows, gritted her teeth, and cursed softly, "Liu Ruxin, just wait for me! I will never let you go!"
Chen Wan'er heard her mumbling and looked at her with complicated eyes.
