The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

"Hao Zhenzhen!"

A burst of angry shouts could be heard from the front.

Shen Zhiyi picked up the folding fan that had been stepped on from the ground.

"You've really gotten to know things."

Hao Zhenzhen, who was leaving the school to fetch water, took a few steps back in fright: "I didn't mean to."

She didn't want to provoke Shen Zhiyi.

Not to mention her, in the entire girls' school, only Gu Wu dared to challenge Shen Zhiyi.

Who doesn't know that Shen Zhiyi's aunt was once a concubine in the palace? The new emperor had only been on the throne for half a month when she was married into the Wei family in a grand ceremony by General Jingyuan, becoming the second wife of the Duke of Shun's mansion.

Her identity was made public as the cousin of the late Empress, who was also the Princess of Yan.

But who doesn't know that face? She was once a concubine in the palace. But the emperor said she wasn't, General Jingyuan said she wasn't, and even those pedantic old ministers didn't utter a sound.

Everyone tacitly agreed.

Shen Zhiyi refused to listen to this.

Do you know how much this fan costs?

Hao Zhenzhen's face flushed red.

Shen Zhiyi: "You think you can just say it wasn't intentional and let it go?"

"I won't mention anything else, but you knew I wanted to buy a pair of pearl jewelry and were just waiting to restock the shop, yet you blatantly bought them before I did."

Shen Zhiyi smiled enigmatically: "Are you provoking me?"

Hao Zhenzhen: "I like those jewelry too. How is it wrong to order them first?"

Hao Zhenzhen was about to shed tears.

"Stop."

"I'm not buying your act."

"You learned it from Zhou Yurou?"

"After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zhou family was demoted again and again, and banished from the capital. Zhou Yurou is no longer an eyesore to me. Your father was promoted by the emperor because of his honesty and integrity, but you are just as annoying."

She walked a few steps to Hao Zhenzhen and tapped her chest with the handle of her fan.

"Don't deny it, everyone knows how much you fawned over her back then. You felt sorry for her and thought I was bullying her."

Shen Zhiyi looked at her.

"She even cursed me behind my back for being a smug person, but I caught her red-handed."

Shen Zhiyi scoffed: "You're being used and you don't even realize it. Stupid."

Hao Zhenzhen retorted, embarrassed and annoyed: "Enough! Do you think you're so great?"

She said, "I think I look better wearing that headdress than you do."

Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?

"what."

Someone laughed out loud.
Someone was eavesdropping on her?

Shen Zhiyi looked displeased and turned her head to look.

Then I saw Yao Yao, a complete stranger, standing not far away.

She walked over with a soft, rhythmic tinkling sound as the small gemstone beads at her waist swayed.

She approached, grasped the fan handle pressed against Hao Zhenzhen's chest, and forcefully pulled Shen Zhiyi back.

"We're all from the Imperial Academy, what's all the arguing about? Can't we get along peacefully? Why argue over such a trivial matter?"

Hao Zhenzhen: ? ! !

I'm not moved, I'm even a little scared.

After all, Yao Yao had a very strong presence in the classroom just now.

Thinking about what she said...

We can't afford to offend either of them.

Shen Zhiyi?
She was about to scold Yao Yao for meddling in other people's business.

Yao Yao gave her a reproachful look.

"Alright, for my sake, let her off this time."

Hao Zhenzhen took off running.

Shen Zhiyi was so angry she almost laughed.

"Who are you!"

Yao Yao replied innocently, "I was asking for directions."

Yao Yao was very worried: "I lost my father."

Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?

What the hell?
how did you do it?
Shen Zhiyi pointed to herself: "Do you know who I am?"

Yao Yao was puzzled and asked very sincerely, "Are you... very important?"

Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ? ?
She hadn't been treated like this in a long time.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at her.

Yao Yao hadn't changed into her school uniform yet, and the clothes and things she was wearing made her squint.

She knew that the Lu family had a daughter named Lu Shiying, who was in poor health and had been living in her hometown.

If she is a woman from the Lu family...

Shen Zhiyi: "Newcomer, do you know who in the Imperial Academy you can't mess with?"

Yao Yao humbly asked, "Who is it?"

Shen Zhiyi: "Gu Wu." Yao Yao felt very ashamed.

Looking at Yao Yao with her bright, blinking eyes, Shen Zhiyi didn't scold her. Instead, she even showed a rare kindness and gave her some advice: "She's so aloof. You're not well, so avoid her in the future."

Yao Yao: "This...this..."

"By the way, you should also be careful around the boys' school, there are some people there."

Yao Yao couldn't help but inquire again.

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? Xiao Huaiyan."

Yao Yao: "Isn't he the Crown Prince? He has the highest status."

"The Crown Prince has a good temper. Even if you offend him, he won't hold it against you. You just need to make sure you don't offend the future Crown Princess."

Yao Yao listened very attentively.

Elsewhere, several people were walking this way.

Xiao Huaiyan was very annoyed.

Especially after seeing Hao Zhenzhen just now, I learned from her that Shen Zhiyi and the young lady from the Grand Tutor's mansion had gotten into a fight.

There were too many tails following behind.

Xiao Huaiyan said irritably, "What are you doing following along? What's it to you?"

Ning Yunling, who had come to watch the girls fight, didn't like hearing these words.

"How can you say I'm not involved? Shen Zhiyi and I have a pretty good relationship."

Ning Yunling: "Our relationship is closer than with you, an outsider."

There's nothing wrong with that.

Wei Zhao said in a calm tone, "That's right. She is, after all, my aunt's niece. In a way, she should call me brother, just like Yunling. I have to look after her."

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

I believe you!
You're not going to take care of anything!
You clearly find it annoying, and even try to avoid it.

Hypocritical scoundrel.

Wei Zhao said calmly, "The Grand Tutor is also a teacher I respect, and I am also worried about the young lady in his household."

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

Pooh!
If you can tell me the girl's name, maybe I'll believe you!

He glared at Ying Fuyan with annoyance.

Ying Fuyan succinctly replied: "Just to make up the numbers."

He seemed to be reminiscing.

Last time, so many people went to the 'outhouse' because of him.

Xiao Huaiyan looked at the last person.

"you--"

He Xuran frowned: "Yaoyao is my niece, I'm really worried about her. Shen Zhiyi doesn't know her own strength, what if she hurts her?"

He said to Wei Zhao, "If she loses even a single hair, I'll never forgive you."

Wei Zhao raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Huaiyan: "Talk to him."

He Xuran: ...

Xiao Huaiyan: "I'm worried that Shen Zhiyi got hurt! If she's injured, I..."

"very noisy."

Wei Zhao looked listless, then turned his finger and pointed at He Xuran.

"You can discuss this privately."

Xiao Huaiyan: ...

Xiao Huaiyan thought the two were about to fight.

But when he finally found the person, he saw a peaceful scene: two girls sitting together talking.

Shen Zhiyi was quite surprised to hear the noise and see them.

She nudged Yao Yao, gesturing for her to look over.

"See that? The one walking the fastest is Xiao Huaiyan."

Yao Yao asked, puzzled, "Why is he so unapproachable? Did he bully you?"

Shen Zhiyi: "No, it's just that I have a sharp tongue."

Yao Yao: "That is indeed hateful."

Xiao Huaiyan paused:? ?

Ning Yunling: "Hahahaha!"

For some reason, Shen Zhiyi found the Lu family girl increasingly pleasing to the eye, and they could always agree on something.

"that."

She pointed to Ning Yunling, who was laughing at Xiao Huaiyan.

"The heir of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion."

Yao Yao: "I know, we don't need to take him too seriously."

"How do you know?"

"My sister said that apart from his good looks, he's not very smart."

Ning Yunling's smile vanished completely.
