NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20
“Do we know each other?”
Zhang Yi was startled by Shen Chenyu’s enthusiasm and instinctively took a few steps back. He didn’t like this kind of overly familiar behavior.
“Brother Zhang Yi, you may not know me, but I know you! I grew up listening to stories about you!”
Shen Chenyu looked at Zhang Yi with a fanatical expression. Since she saw Zhang Yi, she had never taken her eyes off him.
“Am I that old?”
Zhang Yi frowned slightly. He was about the same age as Shen Chenyu, so it was clear that she was another fan girl.
“No, in my heart, Brother Zhang Yi is an invincible and handsome existence. Who dares to say that Brother Zhang Yi is old? Are they blind?” Shen Chenyu hastily explained.
“To be honest, you’re even more handsome than your portrait!”
Shen Chenyu somehow pulled out Zhang Yi’s portrait from nowhere and examined it closely before finally setting her gaze back on Zhang Yi.
“Okay, let’s focus on business!”
Zhang Yi had no interest in Shen Chenyu. He didn’t even know why Shen Changqing had called her here.
“Brother Zhang Yi, what brings you to Great Zhou Dynasty? I can help you with anything you want!”
Shen Chenyu wanted to impress Zhang Yi and wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
“Let’s go to the General’s Mansion first!”
Zhang Yi suddenly felt much more relaxed. This time he wasn’t fighting alone; he had the Great Zhou Dynasty’s prince and princess with him.
“Okay!”
Shen Chenyu cheered as if being with Zhang Yi was the most wonderful thing in the world.
However, Shen Chenyu’s appearance made Zhang Luoyan feel a sense of unease. Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty Dynasty knew about Shen Chenyu’s feelings for Zhang Yi.
“But Senior Brother has already cut off all emotional ties. No matter what tricks she uses, it won’t work.”
Zhang Yi’s ruthless reputation was well-known in Wuling Continent. Any girl who liked him would never have a happy ending.
The group hurried to the General’s Mansion. Shen Chenyu followed Zhang Yi while Shen Changqing followed Zhang Luoyan. However, the two sect members didn’t pay much attention to the Great Zhou Dynasty prince and princess.
Soon, they arrived at the General’s Mansion, but this time it was completely different from the last time they were there.
Zhang Wufeng sensed the arrival of the group first. When he saw Shen Chenyu by Zhang Yi’s side, he was dumbfounded.
“Zhang Yi! You have some nerve!”
Zhang Wufeng was both frightened and angry. If something happened to Shen Changqing and Shen Chenyu, he wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed.
“How dare you talk to brother Zhang Yi like that?” Shen Chenyu couldn’t tolerate Zhang Wufeng’s behavior and shouted.
“Your Highness, isn’t this the lunatic who kidnapped you?” Zhang Wufeng couldn’t figure out what was going on. Although he knew that Shen Chenyu was interested in Zhang Yi, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?
“Who are you calling a lunatic? You’re the crazy one! Apologize to my brother Zhang Yi right away!”
Shen Chenyu fiercely defended Zhang Yi, pointing at Zhang Wufeng and scolding him angrily.
Zhang Wufeng looked a bit embarrassed as he looked at Shen Changqing, trying to figure out what was going on. Weren’t they just fighting for their lives a moment ago? How did everything suddenly calm down?
“Cough cough, everything before was just a misunderstanding. Brother Zhang has explained everything to me, and I won’t pursue it any further. But… Zhang Laoyan was bullied quite a bit in the General’s Mansion before, and I can’t stand it!”
“Brother Zhang! You know what to do next, right?”
At this critical moment, Shen Changqing stepped forward, standing with his hands behind his back, and spoke in an extremely imposing manner.
With these words, he regained all the face he had lost before, and people would only think that everything he had done was for Zhang Luoyan. Zhang Yi also cooperated with Shen Changqing’s performance, nodding his head in rare agreement and saying: “I’ll do as the Crown Prince commands.”
Since they were going to scheme, they had to be ruthless. In any case, all the responsibility would be placed on Shen Changqing’s head in the end, so it didn’t matter to Zhang Yi.
Shen Changqing showed a pleased smile on his face. This was the first time he had ever felt superior to Zhang Yi, even if he knew that Zhang Yi was just acting, it still felt great.
“Shen Changqing! You better not trouble Brother Zhang Yi, or I won’t let you off!”
Shen Chenyu was afraid that Zhang Yi would be even slightly wronged, so she waved her small fist threateningly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing’s smile froze for a moment. He even regretted bringing Shen Chenyu along. How could she be so meddlesome?
“Luoyan, do whatever you want. Even if we turn the Great Zhou Dynasty upside down today, I will help you get justice!”
Shen Changqing chose to ignore Shen Chenyu’s infatuation with Zhang Yi and spoke dominantly to Zhang Luoyan.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wufeng’s face changed. He knew very well that Zhang Luoyan had suffered a lot of bullying during her time at the general’s house. He finally understood that Zhang Yi and Shen Changqing had come back again to settle accounts with him!
“Father, let Third Aunt come out first!”
Although Zhang Luoyan’s face wore a faint smile, her eyes were extremely cold, which was the first time Zhang Yi had seen her like this.
“With her bubbly personality, how much suffering did she have to endure to have an expression like that?”
In Zhang Yi’s impression, Zhang Luoyan was a careless and lively little girl. It was hard to imagine what she had gone through at the General’s Mansion.
“You unfilial daughter, what do you want to do?”
Even at this moment, Zhang Wufeng still criticized Zhang Luoyan.
“General Zhang! You better cooperate! Otherwise, I’ll go to my father today and tell him about your misdeeds!”
Shen Changqing threatened with a grim expression.
“Do as she says! Otherwise, I’ll make your life miserable!”
Shen Chenyu echoed, knowing that helping Zhang Luoyan was helping Zhang Yi, and she didn’t mind showing off.
Zhang Wufeng’s expression was gloomy to the extreme. As the most favored princess of Great Zhou, Shen Chenyu was someone he couldn’t afford to offend, especially with the Crown Prince behind her.
“Bring Third Madam here!”
In the end, Zhang Wufeng had no choice but to submit.
Zhang Yi just watched the spectacle on the side, feeling more relaxed than ever. “Great, I don’t even have to do anything.”
A moment later, a vicious-looking beauty with a face full of grievances walked up to Zhang Wufeng and asked coyly, “What did you summon me for, General?”
“Third Aunt, do you still remember me?”
Zhang Luoyan’s eyes were filled with resentment as she approached her step by step.
“Luoyan? Why have you come back? You really are something, not even bothering to tell Aunt in advance…”
San Yiniang, her third aunt, acted surprised and approached warmly, with a hint of reproach in her tone, sounding like an elder concerned about her junior.
But Zhang Luoyan wasn’t fooled. She pushed San Yininag away with a cold expression and said with disgust, “Don’t give me that act! I feel sick just looking at you!”
“Zhang Luoyan, that’s enough!”
Zhang Wufeng finally exploded, grabbing the woman and scolding Zhang Luoyan in anger.
