Even Ah Si couldn't help but complain quietly: "What's going on today? Everyone is rushing to block the road."

After he finished speaking, he realized that there was a logo of the Princess's Mansion on the carriage.

"Miss."

A Si quickly turned around and was about to remind Shen Nanzhi.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage blocking the road was opened, and Lin Lanyin, dressed in a sparkling red dress, jumped directly from the carriage holding up her skirt, and then walked straight to Shen Nanzhi's carriage.

Before Ah Si could come back to his senses, he heard Lin Lanyin say unhappily, "Why are you daydreaming? Get out of my way!"

Her tone was really not very good.

Ah Si clenched the reins but did not move. He was about to turn around to ask Shen Nanzhi what he thought, but he saw Shen Nanzhi opened the curtain first and winked at him.

Asi was just about to move aside.

The impatient Lin Lanyin took a step forward, pushed Ah Si away, and complained to Shen Nanzhi: "Why is your driver like a wooden stake!"

She grabbed the reins, got on the carriage, and sat down next to Shen Nanzhi uninvited.

The curtain of the carriage had been lowered by Lin Lanyin. Through the gap in the curtain, Shen Nanzhi could still see the carriage frame of the Princess's Mansion parked in front of them in a domineering manner.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "The princess is very skilled at stopping a carriage."

The last time she was kidnapped to Mingyue Tower, it was also someone arranged by Lin Lanyin who knocked out the coachman of the carriage opposite, causing the horse to be frightened and crash into Shen Nanzhi's carriage.

This time, she came over in person to stop Shen Nanzhi.

Moreover, they all happened just when Shen Nanzhi was about to go out.

Needless to say, Lin Lanyin must have arranged people to guard outside the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and watch Shen Nanzhi leave.

Shen Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "The princess came here specially, not to scold me, the driver, right?"

Lin Lanyin turned her head away, with a twisted expression on her face, "Of course not!"

She looked at the roof of the car, the tips of her shoes, and the palms of her hands, but she didn't look into Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

After hesitating for a long time, she stamped her feet and said with an unnatural look: "I was wrong before, I apologize to you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the corners of her eyes and the tips of her ears turned red.

Come to think of it, this arrogant and willful little princess was bowing her head and apologizing to someone for the first time in her life.

She turned her head away, facing Shen Nanzhi with the back of her head, and was silent for a moment before saying, "I originally just wanted to scare you and teach you a lesson. I didn't intend to kill you. Later, those things were not done by me. Qingyi was the guard of the mansion, and I didn't expect him to have any problems."

Shen Nanzhi saw it at the time, and she nodded: "Okay, I understand. If there is nothing else, Princess, please go in."

After all, this was on a busy street, and I'm afraid only this princess could apologize in this way in public.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously glanced at Liu Feng who had retreated to the side.

"You were the one who asked him to invite me in the name of the Seventh Prince?"

Lin Lanyin quickly glanced at Shen Nanzhi, and seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't look angry, she turned her head away again and said awkwardly, "Yes, I'm afraid that if I look for you, you won't want to see me."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Nanzhi said that she had made it so clear to Xiao Qian'an, and he knew that she would definitely refuse, so he shouldn't send anyone to look for her again.

It turned out that it was Lin Lanyin's intention.

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi hadn't said anything yet, Lin Lanyin couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Are you disappointed that it wasn't your seventh cousin who was looking for you?"

This girl always has the ability to make people angry to death just by opening her mouth.

Shen Nanzhi rolled his eyes at her and didn't even bother to explain.

However, Lin Lanyin quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She heard Shen Nanzhi not giving any face just now and even asking the driver to run over Liu Feng.

How could she not see that Shen Nanzhi had no interest in Xiao Qian'an?

"Feel sorry……"

She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands and lowered her head, saying, "I'm sorry for what happened before and what I just said. Also, thank you for saving me. As an apology and a token of gratitude, I will do whatever I can for you if you want..."

She spoke haltingly.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and deliberately moved closer to Lin Lanyin: "Are you serious, Princess?"

Hearing this, Lin Lanyin subconsciously turned her head and met Shen Nanzhi's smiling eyes. She immediately said alertly: "Of course! But you can't go too far!"

Shen Nanzhi smiled: "Of course."

After saying that, she took out a thick stack of menus from her sleeve.

"I was seriously injured while rescuing the princess, so I specially invited a doctor to treat my body. However, the doctor was a bit tricky and wanted me to eat dishes from Fuyun Tower every day. My injury was actually caused by the princess. Princess, you see..."

Lin Lanyin immediately took it and patted her chest and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, from now on, all the expenses of that doctor in Fuyun Building will be covered by this princess!"

Although this amount of expense is just a drop in the bucket for Shen Nanzhi, it would be a shame not to grab a bargain that comes right to your doorstep.

Moreover, Lu Pianpian might still have some reservations about spending her money, but once she is told that Princess Jiahe is paying for everything, Lu Pianpian will definitely eat to her heart's content and will even take care of all the maids and servants in Haitang Courtyard.

Three or five days is not a big deal, but over time, it becomes a considerable expense.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and stuffed the menu into Lin Lanyin's hand: "In that case, thank you very much, Princess."

Lin Lanyin hadn't taken a close look at the menu yet, she felt that Shen Nanzhi's smile was a little malicious, but thinking that it was just a few dishes, he couldn't cheat her. She even felt that the apology was too light, and took out a house deed from her sleeve.

"This is a hot spring resort at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. It was a birthday gift from my grandmother. Anyway, I'm not interested in it. I heard that taking a bath here is more effective than recuperating with half the effort, so I'll give it to you. Let's make it clear first, we'll be even from now on!"

There was no way the birthday gift that the Queen Mother gave to Lin Lanyin could be wrong.

Shen Nanzhi looked at Lin Lanyin in surprise. She didn't expect the other party to be so generous. In comparison, the menu she handed over was nothing.

Lin Lanyin raised her head and said proudly: "My life, Lin Lanyin, is worth more than just this little bit of silver!"

Of course Shen Nanzhi would not refuse.

After all, she had put a lot of effort into saving Lin Lanyin, and the hot spring villa might be of great help to her mother's physical recovery.

"In that case, thank you very much, my lady."

Shen Nanzhi took it with a smile.

Lin Lanyin then turned around and was about to jump off the carriage, but before leaving, she added: "Even if you saved my life, if you don't serve as the princess of my third cousin and get involved with my seventh cousin again, I will never forgive you!"

After saying those harsh words, she jumped off the carriage, got on her own carriage and left without looking back.

Shen Nanzhi continued to go to the Dali Temple.

All the Wen family cases were handled by Shen Huaishu, and the officials who asked Shen Nanzhi to cooperate in taking notes were also very polite and finished the work quickly.

It was already lunch time, and since she was already here, Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to find Shen Huaishu to go out for lunch together.

These past two days, people have been mentioning Fuyunlou. It just so happens that Fuyunlou is not far from the Dali Temple.

Shen Nanzhi was just about to send someone to give a message to Shen Huaishu, when he looked up, he saw Shen Huaishu and Xiao Chuyun and others walking out of the crescent archway.

However, Xiao Chuyun was sitting on a bamboo chair, pushed by Mo Yun behind him.

This Dali Temple was originally Xiao Chuyun's territory, so Shen Nanzhi was naturally not surprised to see Xiao Chuyun here.

However, she was a little hesitant. Now that they had met, should she invite him to come along?

She hadn't thanked him properly for what happened before.

Just as I was thinking about it, several people had already arrived.

Shen Huaishu smiled and greeted: "Zhizhi, you haven't gone home yet?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and nodded: "I see it's lunch time, I want to wait for my uncle to go to Fuyunlou for lunch together, does my uncle have time?"

Shen Huaishu looked embarrassed. He still had some official business assigned by Xiao Chuyun to do, and the time for meal was very tight.

He was about to speak, but heard Xiao Chuyun say tolerantly: "Go ahead, the prince has to eat too, so you won't be delayed for long."

After getting Xiao Chuyun's agreement, Shen Huaishu naturally had nothing to say. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Xiao Chuyun glanced at Mo Yun tactfully, he seemed to want Mo Yi to push him and turn around and leave.

Shen Huaishu's mind moved, and he asked casually: "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, why not come with us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun stopped sitting on his bamboo chair. He turned to look at Shen Nanzhi, waiting for Shen Nanzhi's opinion.

But this was exactly what Shen Nanzhi wanted to say. It was just that she saw Shen Huaishu looking busy just now, and guessed that Xiao Chuyun should be even busier. She was afraid of disturbing him, so she hesitated for a moment, and did not expect Shen Huaishu to ask first.

Facing Xiao Chuyun's inky black eyes, Shen Nanzhi's eyes curved: "I was just about to ask if His Majesty is free. I haven't had the chance to thank His Majesty for taking care of me several times before. How about I treat you today?"

Hearing Shen Nanzhi's invitation, Xiao Chuyun's smile deepened. He lowered his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "There's no need to be polite between you and me. Besides, it doesn't make sense for Miss Shen to pay for a meal."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then neither of us will pay, and let my uncle pay the bill."

Shen Huaishu, who was inexplicably pointed out, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said jokingly: "Well, well, well, she hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already leaning towards the prince."

Shen Nanzhi was shy and her face turned red with embarrassment at these words. She couldn't help but glare at Shen Huaishu coquettishly, which made Shen Huaishu laugh.

It wasn't far from Dali Temple to Fuyun Tower, so the group walked all the way there. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and they were dressed elegantly. In addition, Xiao Chuyun was sitting on a bamboo chair pushed by Mo Yun, and they attracted countless people's attention along the way.

If it were someone else, they would feel somewhat awkward or embarrassed, but Xiao Chuyun remained calm, only occasionally looking up at Shen Nanzhi beside him.

Except for the time when he looked at Shen Nanzhi, there was a little more tenderness in his eyes than usual, and no other emotional fluctuations could be seen.

As soon as the group reached the door, they met Liu Jingya who was about to get off the carriage.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, Liu Jingya raised her hand and greeted, "Sister Zhizhi! What a coincidence!"

Shen Nanzhi also thought it was a coincidence.

She originally thought that after going through that dangerous situation and being hurt by love, Liu Jingya would be depressed for a while.

Unexpectedly, she looked in great shape, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Nanzhi walked over quickly: "Sister Jingya."

Liu Jingya greeted Shen Nanzhi, and then saw the two people following Shen Nanzhi, and immediately greeted them: "Your Majesty, Master Shen."

It was only then that Shen Nanzhi discovered that Liu Jingya did not come alone.

Behind her followed a young man wearing a navy blue brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist.

He has a tall and slender figure, handsome features, a pair of particularly beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Xiao Qian'an.

"Third brother, Prince Shen."

Seeing everyone, he also came forward and greeted them.

At this time, Liu Jingya patted her forehead, took Shen Nanzhi's hand and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce him to sister Zhizhi. This is my cousin."

Liu Jingya has only a handful of cousins, and a man with such a handsome appearance and presence, and judging by Liu Jingya’s introduction, he could only be the fifth prince, Xiao Ziyi.

Before this, Shen Nanzhi specially went to attend Liu Jijiu's birthday party just to observe the Fifth Prince, but she missed him at that time. Unexpectedly, she met him by chance today.

Shen Nanzhi stepped forward and saluted: "Fifth Prince."

Xiao Ziyi smiled and praised her generously, "I've long heard that Miss Shen from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is extremely beautiful. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is indeed well-deserved."

It was not the first time that Shen Nanzhi was praised in person, but Xiao Ziyi, who said such flashy words, had a sincere look in his eyes and a calm expression, as if everything he said was natural.

Born with a convincing affinity.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and took Liu Jingya's arm: "Your Highness, you are too kind. In front of the shining Sister Jingya, I have long been overshadowed."

Liu Jingya looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile on her face: "Am I a night-shining pearl? And I'm still shining brightly?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "That's not true. Sister Jingya is much more valuable than the Night Pearl."

Liu Jingya reached out and gently pinched her arm, saying coquettishly, "You are the only one who can talk!"

Now that we've met, it's natural for us to be together.

Liu Jingya pulled Shen Nanzhi and walked in front, and the remaining three followed behind.

The group went up the stairs to the third floor.

When listening to Liu Jingya's chattering, Shen Nanzhi realized that her mother let her out to relax because she was worried that she was in a bad mood. Her aunt was also afraid that she would have another accident, so she specially asked her cousin to accompany her.

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but look back at Xiao Ziyi who was talking to Xiao Chuyun. He was definitely worthy of the title of majestic and dignified.

A guess suddenly popped up in Shen Nanzhi's mind.

Before he could think about it, his gaze happened to meet Xiao Chuyun who was looking over at him.

Although Xiao Chuyun's leg injury was serious, he was able to walk for a short time. After entering Fuyun Building, Xiao Chuyun got up from the bamboo chair and insisted on walking upstairs.

When their eyes met suddenly, Shen Nanzhi saw his pupils tremble slightly and his eyes seemed a little hurt.

She was just thinking, could it be that he was in such pain from his leg injury that he showed such an expression, when she suddenly heard Xiao Ziyi call her, "Miss Shen."
