After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1348: Chapter 26: Aggrieved (2)

Yan Ning, "...."

"What kind of question is that?!" Yan Ning retorted.

"As expected, the Third Prince weighs more than I do in my cousin’s eyes; otherwise I would beat him up, yet my cousin won’t allow it," Shen Junshan said.

"...."

What kind of twisted logic is this?!

Yan Ning stomped her foot in anger.

Looking up at Shen Junshan’s heartbroken expression, Yan Ning said, "Cousin, if you like beating people up, then go ahead. I don’t care anymore."

Yan Ning ran off angrily, with the maid chasing after her, calling, "Miss, you really don’t care anymore?"

"Even Uncle and Aunt can’t control Second Cousin, how could I?" Yan Ning said.

"At most... at most if he beats up the Third Prince, I’ll have Uncle scold him."

I wonder if the Third Prince would find any comfort hearing this?

The maid covered her mouth, laughing.

The Second Young Master is about to head to Liangzhou, if he beats someone up, he’ll surely leave right away.

Besides, if he indeed beats up the Third Prince, who dares speak of it openly?

It has to be kept absolutely secret.

For all the years Second Young Master has been scolded, seemingly only beating up the Third Prince has avoided bringing him criticism.

The next day, Shen Junshan indeed arranged to meet the Third Prince.

He used Yan Ning’s name to set up the meeting at the Bodhi Tree of the Great Buddha Temple.

The Third Prince came joyfully, bearing gifts, only to see Shen Junshan instead of Yan Ning.

The Third Prince looked around.

Shen Junshan looked at the flower in the Third Prince’s hand with disdain, and the Third Prince quickly hid it behind his back.

The disdain grew deeper on Shen Junshan’s face, "Is this how you woo my cousin, by giving flowers?"

The Third Prince was thoroughly embarrassed, this guy’s words were too unpleasant.

Little Fu, on tiptoe, looked around but didn’t see Yan Ning, whispering to the Third Prince, "Miss Yan seems not to have come... ."

The Third Prince eyed Shen Junshan, "Was it you who stopped Yan Ning from coming?"

"Today it’s me who wants to meet you," Shen Junshan said.

"...."

The Third Prince glared fiercely at Little Fu.

Little Fu shrank his neck, subtly patted his own mouth.

Darn his mouth.

The letter was delivered to the Third Prince yesterday, and he was exceedingly joyful.

With careful foresight, Little Fu asked, "Could there be some trickery here?"

Because Yan Ning had never initiated a meeting with the Third Prince.

This was the first time.

If the Third Prince invited Yan Ning, even then, a response came once every three or four times.

Things were unusual enough to warrant suspicion.

The Empress had been keeping tabs on the Third Prince all along.

The Third Prince, however, was caught up in his delight, utterly dismissing Little Fu’s caution; who would’ve thought... he was right.

The Third Prince and Shen Junshan had chatted a few times before, but hardly had any pleasant exchanges.

If summoned, surely it’s not for good.

Shen Junshan knows Yan Ning is fond of the Third Prince, so blocking them is futile.

He, as an elder brother, can only hope for her lifelong happiness, regardless of improbability; he wishes the Third Prince would make a promise.

The Third Prince might break promises made to Yan Ning, but he certainly wouldn’t dare forget those made to him.

Unknowing how long his journey will last, he fears that by the time he returns, everything will be settled.

He might not even get to attend his cousin’s wedding feast.

Shen Junshan demanded the Third Prince assure Yan Ning’s well-being, to which the Third Prince was first surprised, then jubilant.

He had thought Shen Junshan was there to thwart their love.

"I will never let her suffer the slightest injustice," the Third Prince said, unable to contain his excitement.

Shen Junshan felt somewhat displeased.

This promise sounded utterly insincere.

How could she never suffer any injustice, especially within the Royal Family?

"Taking a concubine is the greatest injustice," Shen Junshan asked.

"Can you assure you won’t take a concubine for life?"

The Third Prince, "...."

Little Fu, "...."

The Third Prince gazed at Shen Junshan in astonishment.

It was the first time he’d heard prohibiting a man from taking concubines, particularly coming from a man.

Shen Junshan’s face showed even greater disdain, "As a prince, aspiring to be Crown Prince, my demands of you would be in vain."

"But remember one thing: Yan Ning is my sister."

"If you let her suffer, even if you sit on the Dragon Chair, I will beat you bloody."

The Third Prince absolutely believed this.

He couldn’t doubt the depth of Shen Junshan’s protective feelings towards Yan Ning. Even Yan Ning’s father wouldn’t have been as strict and involved as Shen Junshan.

Having said what he needed to, Shen Junshan didn’t bother looking at the Third Prince anymore.

He started stepping away.

After a few steps, he turned back, "Where did you buy those flowers?"

The Third Prince, "...???"

Little Fu, "...???"

"From the flower shop on the east side of town," Little Fu quickly answered.

"They’re ugly, don’t buy them again."

Shen Junshan dropped the comment and turned to leave.

The Third Prince looked at the flowers in his hand, and at Little Fu, "Ugly?"

Little Fu shook his head.

Not ugly.

But fearing he’d encourage the Third Prince to give more, next time he might send them again, Second Young Master Shen being Yan Ning’s cousin after all, grew up together, their tastes might be similar.

"Compared to the flowers in the Imperial Garden, they are surely far inferior," Little Fu cautiously said.

"...Then next time I’ll pick from the Imperial Garden."

Having not seen the person, the Third Prince left too.

On his way to the Great Buddha Temple from the east side of town, returning the same route.

Just then, he saw Shen Junshan stopped at the largest flower shop in the east part of town.

The Third Prince, "...."

Little Fu, "...."

This guy is too much, huh?

Telling the Third Prince not to send flowers, and he’s here to buy them himself.

The Third Prince decided to catch him in the act.

Shen Junshan had just planned to buy lilies when he saw the Third Prince coming in, switched without a blink, pointed to a pot of cactus, "I’ll take this pot."

The Third Prince, "...."

Little Fu, "...."

What kind of taste is this?

A large pot of cactus, the spikes on top looking quite intimidating.

The flower seller was stunned by the cactus picked by Second Young Master Shen, wasn’t it said to be for a young lady?

Since when do people give cactus as gifts?

The young shop assistant racked his brains, praising the cactus over and over, as if it was the flower to beat all flowers.

Praising it so much that even Shen Junshan felt his choice was impeccable.

Then—

He went over the wall to gift this pot of cactus to Yun Chu.

Yun Chu, "...."
