There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 171 Your Heart Affections for Me

"Such exquisite delicacies, coupled with Ziying's heavenly beauty, truly make me fortunate. How can I, Li Shuchen, live such a blissful life, like a dream~, hehe~"

Gu Ziying reached out and pinched Li Shuchen's chubby cheeks, and said...

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, then it's not a dream."

Li Shuchen grinned broadly.

"It doesn't hurt, and it smells delicious."

"loquacious"

"Hey hey hey"

Chatter, trash, noise, shouting, people moving around, splashing, scattering, wiping, rubbing, accompanied by the sound of tables and chairs rubbing together.

Li Shuchen frowned as he listened.

"What's going on downstairs? Why is it so noisy?"

Gu Ziying turned to An Lan and said

Go and see what's happening downstairs.

"Yes, miss"

After a while, Anxin returned and said

"Miss, Miss Murong is being entangled by Young Master Zhu."

"Such a thing actually happened!"

Li Shuchen asked upon hearing this.

"Who is Miss Murong? And who is Young Master Zhu?"

Gu Ziying replied

"Murong Shuxue is the daughter of the Prefect, and Zhu Haose is the son of General Xuanwei."

Li Shuchen stood up immediately after hearing this.

"What?! Miss Shuxue has been entangled with that lecherous man? I have to go and see!"

Gu Ziying also stood up upon hearing this.

"erotic?"

"I'll explain when I get back. Right now, I need to go help Miss Shuxue get out of trouble."

Li Shuchen strode towards the scene of the incident, with Gu Ziying close behind.

"Make way, everyone make way!"

Li Shuchen squeezed his way into the crowd, reaching the very front.

Then I saw Miss Shuxue standing in a small corner, her face flushed and her eyes red.

Li Shuchen felt so sorry for him that he quickly said softly.

"Book Snow Girl"

Murong Shuxue looked up in disbelief upon hearing Li Shuchen's voice.

Upon seeing Li Shuchen, she felt as if she had seen her savior, and her voice trembled with emotion.

"Miss Li"

Li Shuchen quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"what happened?"

Murong Shuxue spoke in a hoarse voice, enunciating each word clearly.

"I came here hoping to try interacting with more people, so I shared a table with Mr. Zhu. I've always been shy and blush easily, as you know, Miss Li. But Mr. Zhu kept saying that I was in love with him."

Zhu Haoshe closed the fan in his hand and said

"Sister Shuxue, you are mistaken. I know that your love for me is as deep as the sea and as profound as the earth."

He wanted to share a table with me, but I was too handsome and a gentleman.

Upon seeing it, Shuxue blushed and her heart pounded with excitement.

Sister Shuxue is shy and embarrassed, Brother Zhu understands.

After Zhu Haose finished speaking, he even gave Murong Shuxue a flirtatious wink.

Li Shuchen felt nauseous and wanted to vomit after reading it.

"No, that's not true. I don't have feelings for him."

Zhu Haose pressed him relentlessly.

"If Sister Shuxue says no, then why is she blushing and shy in front of me?"

"Yeah, if you don't like it, why are you blushing?"

"Exactly! I think they say they don't like it, but they actually like it a lot."

"Young girls are all like that."

Li Shuchen was already annoyed that her meal had been interrupted, and now, hearing Zhu Haose spouting nonsense and trying to confuse the situation, along with these despicable men pointing fingers at a young girl without even knowing the facts, only made things worse.

Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted.

"Enough, Young Master Zhu. Our Shuxue has had little contact with people since childhood and is not good at socializing. She even blushes when she sees a dog on the street. Her blushing proves nothing."

She's barely met you, let alone fallen for you. Young Master Zhu, you shouldn't be so narcissistic.

And all of you! Miss Shuxue has already said that she is not in love with him, yet you don't believe her and instead point fingers at her. Your behavior is utterly outrageous!

After finishing his tirade, Li Shuchen ignored the others and took Murong Shuxue's hand.

"Shuxue, let's go."

The three of them went to a private room on the second floor.

Li Shuchen plopped down and began to complain.

"I was so annoyed when I ran into him last time, and now I've run into him again. What bad luck!"

Gu Ziying asked

"Shu Chen, what exactly happened?"

Li Shuchen said angrily

"On the day of the banquet at Chaohui Fruit Manor, he tried to flirt with Miss Su, but was stopped by Seventh Sister. He became displeased and then insulted Seventh Sister."

Changning told him to apologize to Qi Niang, but he was unwilling. "If I hadn't revealed that Qi Niang was Yu Ying's person, he wouldn't have apologized at all."

"I see, I didn't know such a thing existed."

Li Shuchen snorted heavily.

"That Zhu Haose is a bully who preys on the weak, a lecherous and despicable man, and a hypocrite who's narcissistic. Last time he harassed Miss Su, and this time he's harassing Miss Shuxue. I think we need to find someone to teach him a lesson."

Gu Ziying quickly spoke up upon hearing this.

"Shu Chen, keep your voice down. Walls have ears. Zhu Haose doesn't even have a concubine. I thought he was a gentleman who only studied the classics and had no interest in romantic relationships. I never expected him to be so disgusting inside."

Li Shuchen was furious.

"Hmph, how can there be such a shameless person in the world?"

Seeing Li Shuchen so angry because of her, Murong Shuxue spoke up to persuade him.

"Miss Li, please don't be angry. This is all my fault. If only I hadn't gone out..."

Gu Ziying comforted her.

"How can I blame you? Going out to eat is not wrong, sharing a table with others is awkward. The fault lies with Zhu Haoshe, and you shouldn't be wrongly accused."

Murong Shuxue said with a worried expression

"Gu Xiangjun, what should I do now?"

Li Shuchen immediately spoke up

"If you ask me, we should eat and drink as usual, and live our lives as normal. If Zhu Haose still wants to cause trouble, we'll figure something out together."

"Shu Chen is right, Miss Shu Xue, don't be afraid, we will help you."

Murong Shuxue was deeply grateful upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Miss Li."

Gu Ziying said softly

"Miss Shuxue, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Try this meal and see if it suits your taste."

Upon hearing the mention of food, Li Shuchen immediately became interested and served Murong Shuxue a bowl of chicken soup.

"Quickly try my favorite ham and lotus seed chicken soup! This ham, wow! These lotus seeds, wow! These chicken legs, wow! Absolutely delicious!"

Murong Shuxue's mood had improved considerably by this point, and she obediently replied.

"it is good"

……

The three of them finished their meal and left.

Li Shuchen returned to the Sanbao Hall and lay on his bed, pondering this matter.

This Zhu Haose may look presentable, but he's a scoundrel. He flirts with pretty girls and even has the nerve to say they like him.

He dared to act this way towards the daughter of a high-ranking official; who knows what would happen if he encountered a beautiful woman from an ordinary family?

However, Ziying said that Zhu Haose did not take any concubines or other women, which is a bit strange.

How could a lecherous man with power and wealth not have a single concubine?

There's a problem, there must be something wrong here.

No, she had to find a chance to secretly beat him up, and hopefully get something out of him.

Otherwise, she felt uneasy, always fearing that some girl would suffer.

Li Shuchen made up his mind, got out of bed, and went out to find a suitable weapon.

Searching and thinking

If only I could find a long, straight, sturdy, smooth stick of suitable thickness.

She found this kind of wooden stick easy to use.

Li Shuchen strolled around, looking for suitable sticks in the trees, on the ground, and along the roadside. He didn't find any sticks, but he did hear quite a few rumors.
