Sheng Jiangli naturally knew that Huang Shan had just lost face in public and was taking this opportunity to vent his anger.
He smiled and placed the back of his hand under Huang Shan's palm, allowing him to lean on it. "Your Excellency Huang, please calm down. It's my fault. I should have been more alert just now and caught Your Excellency... Come, come. Later, when we're seated, how about I punish myself with three cups of wine to make amends to Your Excellency Huang?"
Huang Shan loved to be flattered and accommodated. Hearing this, he immediately beamed with joy and said with feigned anger,
"How can I be worthy of General Sheng's wine? You're an able assistant to the Crown Prince. I should learn from General Sheng properly!"
"I'm not worthy of such praise. We should learn from each other." Sheng Jiangli bent down and supported Huang Shan. "Let's go to the dining hall."
He then said to Jiang Jinyue, who was standing there stupidly, "Miss Jiang, why don't you come and attend to Your Excellency Huang?"
Jiang Jinyue was stunned for a moment. She looked at the two overbearing men in disbelief, pointed at herself and said, "Me?"
Was Sheng Jiangli crazy?
What did he take himself for?
The master of the Prince Yan's Mansion?
And what did he take her for?
A cheap woman who used her beauty to serve men?
Jiang Jinyue couldn't help but get angry, but then she heard Song Yinghuai's cold voice beside her. "Cousin, treat the envoy and the commander well for me today. I'll reward you."
Jiang Jinyue immediately shut up and suppressed her anger. She stared blankly at Song Yinghuai's gentle and handsome face.
A reward... It was the first time Song Yinghuai had said he would give a reward!
"Yes, cousin." Jiang Jinyue was really both in love with and afraid of Song Yinghuai's amiable face.
She stepped forward timidly and came in front of Huang Shan. She bowed again and apologized. "Eunuch Huang..."
Meeting Huang Shan's deathly stare, she quickly changed her words. "Your Excellency Huang, I was too excited just now. I hope Your Excellency can forgive this little girl this time!"
Facing the charming woman, Huang Shan kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word for a long time.
This time, he didn't reach out eagerly to help Jiang Jinyue up. Instead, he waited arrogantly for a long time.
Jiang Jinyue's kneeling salute was on the verge of collapse. Her knees ached and her face turned pale.
But it seemed that no one present was willing to stand up as a peacemaker to smooth things over for her.
Jiang Jinyue felt her legs trembling wildly. She looked at Song Yinghuai with a pair of eyes, hoping to get some help.
Unexpectedly, she saw a extremely beautiful face peeping out from behind the man's tall and broad shoulders.
Caiyu was tall. Standing behind Song Yinghuai, she could only cover half of her face. At this moment, she secretly stood on tiptoe to watch the show, and her whole face was completely exposed from behind the man. Her eyes happened to meet Jiang Jinyue's.
Caiyu's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Oh?
Wasn't it this very trick that the cousin girl had used to torture her knees and legs when they first met?
Truly, fortune's wheel turns.
Jiang Jinyue saw the schadenfreude in Caiyu's eyes. The anger in her heart immediately burned like a prairie fire and was completely out of control.
At this moment, she was like a caged animal. Clearly, the enemy was right in front of her, but she couldn't pounce on Caiyu and tear her flesh!
The feelings of helplessness and anger filled her chest, making her feel dizzy.
Jiang Jinyue's strange expression and gaze attracted the attention of many people present. Except for Huang Shan, who was looking down his nose, and Song Yinghuai, who was standing in front of Caiyu, everyone else was curiously watching the eye - to - eye confrontation between the two women.
Song Yinghuai was always sensitive. Although he didn't turn back, he could imagine what the woman behind him was doing, because -
When Caiyu stood on tiptoe and peeked out, her head involuntarily got closer to the back of his neck.
Her warm and fragrant breath gently sprayed on one side of his neck.
The hunger of his body for many days seemed to be about to be unleashed, making Song Yinghuai instantly stiffen his body. The knuckles of his fingers hidden in his sleeves on both sides curled slightly.
The impatience when he rushed back to the mansion day and night after learning that she was in danger.
The great anger when he returned to the mansion and saw her in the same room with Sheng Jiangli, wearing another man's clothes.
The disappointment when he learned that she had dared to assassinate Nanny Yu.
The slight worry when he noticed that she had been targeted by Huang Shan.
...
For the first time, Song Yinghuai felt that his energy was not enough.
All of the above were dispelled by the faint breath of the woman on his neck at this moment.
So much so that he didn't dare to look sideways at what the woman behind him looked like now.
He was afraid that if he turned around and saw her, he would carry her away right in front of everyone!
If it weren't for the fact that it was completely inappropriate to talk about love at this moment, he would surely be unable to control himself and pin her down, brutally ravishing her!
Caiyu was completely unaware of how deep the man in front of her was looking when he had his back to her, or how stiff his back was.
She also didn't bother to observe other people's expressions, because all her energy was focused on Jiang Jinyue's legs, which were trembling like a candle in the wind.
A bit more stimulation, and Jiang Jinyue probably wouldn't be able to stand up.
Suddenly, in full view of everyone, they saw the woman, as bright as a begonia flower, hiding behind His Highness the Prince of Yan. She playfully stuck out her pink tongue and made a big face at Jiang Jinyue!
Everyone:!!
"You!"
Jiang Jinyue suddenly caught her breath.
She collapsed.
Her body swayed and she threw herself into Huang Shan's arms, where she was caught precisely!
With the beauty in his arms, Huang Shan's anger completely disappeared. He tightly grasped Jiang Jinyue's waist and laughed heartily. "General Sheng! Let's go! Let's have a good drink!"
"Yes, sir." Sheng Jiangli's eyes inadvertently passed over Song Yinghuai's shoulder. His look towards Caiyu was full of doting.
Miss Caiyu!
She was still the same little girl who never forgot a grudge.
Huang Shan held Jiang Jinyue with one hand and supported Sheng Jiangli with the other.
He regarded himself as a noble empress dowager. He treated Sheng Jiangli like a little eunuch and swaggered towards the dining hall.
It was as if the two of them had made an appointment to put Song Yinghuai in his place. They walked in as if the place belonged to them, completely regarding themselves as the masters of the Prince Yan's Mansion.
For a moment, everyone in the Prince Yan's Mansion glared angrily at the backs of the two as they walked away arm in arm.
Fang Kuan had just entered the mansion and couldn't bear it the most. He was about to flare up immediately, but was held down by Zhu Xiao, who shook his head at him.
"Come on, look at them!" Fang Kuan growled in a low voice. "Your Highness, when have we ever suffered such humiliation? I carried him on my back for three hundred miles! And now that he's here, he still acts like the master! I really can't wait to..."
"Shh!" Zhu Xiao covered his mouth and coaxed him. "Shh! Be good! Keep your voice down!"
"Shh what! " Fang Kuan angrily yanked Zhu Xiao's hand off his mouth. "Can't you pee cleanly? Take your hand away! It stinks of urine!"
Zhu Xiao reluctantly let go of his hand and warned, "Keep your temper in check. Don't ruin our plan!"
"Got it, got it!" Fang Kuan said impatiently. "Let's go. I'm hungry. After running three hundred miles like a beast of burden, I can eat a whole old pig now."
"Okay, I know you've worked hard." Zhu Xiao said indifferently. He put his arm around Fang Kuan's shoulder and coaxed the "hero" towards the dining hall.
Song Yinghuai didn't say a word throughout.
When Caiyu made a face, the corner of his eye finally caught a glimpse of a pink tongue sticking out.
At that moment, he only felt his forehead throbbing. A tingle ran through the base of his spine. He had to dig his nails into the Buddhist beads on his wrist to regain his composure.
This girl...
Song Yinghuai had a headache.
Zhu Xiao and the others only thought that His Highness the Prince was calm in the face of humiliation. Only he himself knew that his reason had been on the verge of collapse just now.
Only now did Song Yinghuai realize that, without even noticing, he had been deeply influenced by Caiyu.
She had just made a face at someone, and it had almost made him lose his self - control.
Song Yinghuai took a deep breath. Without saying a word, he took two steps forward and then suddenly stopped. He turned around and noticed that Caiyu's eyes had been fixed on Sheng Jiangli as he walked away.
A fleeting look of anger flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he changed his mind about asking her to go to the dining hall with him:
"Had enough of the show? Why don't you go back?"
