Chapter 602 We will never meet again!
Wu Xiuxin is indeed very happy because of the princess's unwavering preference for her.
But there is no need to show such love in front of others, especially in front of Zhang Zhirou!
Shu He's face turned slightly cold, and he said in a neutral tone, "The princess's preference for Miss Xiuxin is truly enviable. If you didn't know, you would have thought Miss Xiuxin was the princess's biological daughter!"
As she spoke, she took Zhang Zhirou's hand and imitated the distressed look of the Princess of Western Chu. "Compared to Miss Xiuxin, our Ah Rou is pitiful. She has never been loved by her parents since she was a child. She has only followed her brother, a military commander, and worked hard to learn martial arts."
"This girl, all the time brandishing swords and clubs, doesn't even have anyone to talk to in confidence. Not only that, she's a girl, and she has to protect herself, her brother, and her grandmother, too. It's really heartbreaking."
After saying this, she looked at the bewildered Princess Li and sighed, "If she had a gentle and virtuous mother like the princess, she wouldn't have been so full of arrogance..."
Who doesn’t know how to play the victim?
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Zhirou's face. Why did she feel that her sister was trying to gain sympathy for her?
"Sister, don't say that. I, I'm...fine like this."
Zhang Zhirou thought Shu He was really complaining about the unfairness of fate for her, and immediately wanted to speak to comfort her, but Shu He glared at her secretly.
When the Princess of Western Chu heard these words, a trace of sympathy appeared on her face. "I didn't expect Miss Zhang was also a child without parents since childhood. How pitiful..."
She also has to protect her younger brother and take care of her grandmother. It seems that this girl must have had a difficult childhood.
"In the Tongle Hall, Xiuxin felt that Miss Zhang was heroic, intelligent and sharp, but she didn't expect that she was also a miserable person."
Wu Xiuxin's beautiful face showed sympathy, but it quickly turned to relief. "However, Miss Zhang can soar freely in the vast universe, and can also have a good sister like Princess Li. Xiuxin feels that Miss Zhang is also very lucky."
Princess Xichu agreed with this. As she nodded, she noticed a hint of envy in Wu Xiuxin's tone and remembered the purpose of her visit.
Yes, she came to persuade Zhang Zhirou to stay away from Ping'er, so why did she feel sorry for her instead?
"Xiu Xin is right. Although Miss Zhang has no parents, she is very lucky to have a sister like Princess Li. I also believe that Miss Jiang will have a better home in the future."
But this destination is not their Jiang family.
The last sentence clearly expressed her meaning.
Although Zhang Zhirou was prepared, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face when she heard such words, and she felt a little humiliated.
Shu He's expression grew even colder, and with a forced smile, she said, "Princess, you're right. Some people just like Arou's cheerful, generous, and informal nature. I think if no one gets in her way, Arou will definitely be able to grow old together with her 'beloved'."
The soft words were as hard as steel nails, piercing people, making the Princess of Western Chu feel ashamed and angry, and she stood up immediately.
"What does Princess Li mean by this? Are you implying that I'm the villain who's 'stumbling block'?"
Wu Xiuxin was startled and stood up as well. She held onto the Princess of Western Chu's arm and consoled her, "Aunt, please don't be angry! Princess Li may not have meant that. You're just overthinking it!"
Shu He's expression was calm, but after a while, she realized what was happening and changed her expression. She looked stunned. "What do you mean, Princess? You have always been gentle and virtuous. How could you be a 'villain'? Princess, did you misunderstand me?"
"you……!!"
The Princess of Western Chu was not a woman who was good at harem fighting. After all, there were no such fights for her to practice in the Western Chu Palace.
Those hints from before, were probably what she heard from others? Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her temper after just a few words from Shu He.
In contrast, Wu Xiuxin beside her was much calmer and composed.
Zhang Zhirou didn't want to see Shu He and the Princess of Western Chu clash, so she immediately stood up and said, "Princess!"
The courtyard was silent, and everyone looked at her.
Shu He stood up as well, a worried look on his face.
The Princess of Western Chu also calmed down, but her face was still unhappy and she didn't look at her directly.
This feeling of disrespect made Zhang Zhirou feel very hurt, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
"My Lady, you don't have to go through so much trouble!"
"I am very clear about the purpose of your inviting me into your residence today."
"Don't worry, from today on, I and the Prince of Dongping will draw a clear line!"
"From now on, we will never meet again!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, seemingly firm, but only Shu He knew that beneath her determination, there was reluctance.
Shu He's pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at her with worry.
She just said it like that? Didn't she have any regrets at all?
The Princess of Western Chu was also obviously surprised.
After hearing this, she immediately looked into Zhang Zhirou's eyes, as if wanting to confirm the sincerity of what she said.
To her surprise, she saw full sincerity.
"you……"
Zhang Zhirou smiled faintly at her and explained, "Princess, I believe that Prince Dongping is your biological son. In his heart, no woman should be above you!"
"This is filial piety, and it is also virtue."
"If my partner, Zhang Zhirou, is unfilial and unvirtuous, then he is not worthy of me!"
"I believe that Prince Dongping is not such a person. Therefore, Princess Princess and Miss Xiuxin, there is no need to regard common women as 'great enemies' and take them so seriously."
"I enjoyed the banquet today very much. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."
"It's getting late, and I have to go back to serve my grandmother some medicine. Please forgive me for not being able to stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Since Zhang Zhirou was leaving, Shu He naturally had no reason to stay.
As soon as the two said goodbye, they turned around and saw Jiang Dongping wearing a dark red gown, standing next to the rockery not far outside the courtyard.
Zhang Zhirou met that hurt look, and felt a dull pain in her heart, but she could only pretend not to feel it.
She walked towards him with a stern face.
It’s simple, it’s just because the exit is in that direction.
When she passed by Jiang Dongping, she stopped with heavy steps. Finally, she looked at him and bowed slightly to him.
"Meet Prince Dongping."
Jiang Dongping felt as if his heart had been cut open with a knife, and blood was dripping down from the tip of his heart.
This was the first time she saluted him in such a tone.
Is she so impatient to draw a line between herself and him?
