I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 The Man Who Shamed the Shen Family!

"Miss, here are the candied fruits, sugar dolls, snowflake cakes, lotus seed cakes you asked for..."

The round-faced girl with twin buns ran back, holding a dozen types of snacks.

Just as she got on the carriage, she saw a scene that made her eyes round and stuttered, "Miss, you...you... this is..."

"I don't know, he just stormed in unexpectedly."

Shen Zhixia swallowed the osmanthus sweet cake stuck in her throat, pounded her chest to ease her breath, and barely got her words out, "He said he is the son of the Right Deputy..."

"Right Deputy Imperial Censor?"

Qing'er regained her composure, frowning.

Shen Zhixia nodded, "Yes, the son of the Right Deputy Imperial Censor, and he asked me to send him home."

Qing'er took a deep breath and asked, "Miss, do you remember why we came out?"

"Of course I remember, I was hungry and came out for food." Looking at Qing'er's deep gaze, Shen Zhixia added, "And I was also looking to confront that bastard."

Qing'er pointed at Chen Mo, and said through gritted teeth, "We've been waiting here for half an hour, for him! He is Chen Mo! The man who unilaterally broke the marriage promise for a courtesan, bringing shame on the entire Shen Family!"

Shen Zhixia froze upon hearing this.

She reached out and grabbed Chen Mo, examining him closely.

His face was white as porcelain, and he was as handsome as a crafted sculpture, with distinct facial features.

Even with his eyes closed, one could sense a familiar air about him.

—Indeed, he was her long-lost "fiancé".

"Miss, what do you think?"

"Handsome, lovely to look at."

"???"

"I mean, what is your opinion on this matter!"

Qing'er stomped her foot, indignantly saying, "Look at his frail and listless appearance, he must have been up to something shady with that seductress!"

"Broad daylight, just broke off the engagement and acting so licentiously, even sharing a carriage with you... If this gets out, how can you face anyone?"

Shen Zhixia held her sleek chin and nodded, "You have a point."

Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, "So..."

"So, why not just keep it between us?"

"..."

"If I hear any rumors or gossip, I'll have to spank you."

"..."

Qing'er looked as if she were constipated.

"Pfft."

Shen Zhixia chuckled, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "Alright, I'm just teasing. What do others' opinions matter to me? Besides, he just tore the marriage document, our elders didn't approve, and there was no formal annulment, so technically, I'm still the fiancée of the Chen Family."

"But Miss..."

Qing'er wanted to say more, but Shen Zhixia interrupted, "Anyway, let's send him home first, we can talk about other things later."

"Yes."

Qing'er sighed.

Her master had spoken, and she naturally wouldn't defy.

She gave the unconscious man one last glare, then twisted her little waist and stepped out of the sedan.

Shen Zhixia looked at Chen Mo, her eyes flashing inscrutably, grabbed his wrist, and transferred a strand of True Yuan into him.

Moments later, her brows slightly lifted.

"Meridian disorder, depleted True Qi, severe physical overdraft, it seems he just fought a tough opponent."

"Is this a visit to a lover, or seeking a foe?"

...

Qing'er reached the front of the carriage, lightly jumped onto the driver's seat, grabbed the reins, and shook them hard.

"Go!"

The steeds neighed, sprinting down the street.

Her petite form controlling the two big horses looked effortlessly graceful, a jarring scene that attracted many gazes.

"Look at that decoration, seems like the Shen Residence's carriage?"

"General Shen has rules, all Shen Family members must not enter places of ill-repute, who dares to openly come to Brothel Alley?"

"I saw that carriage stopped near The Cloudwater Hall earlier..."

People murmured among themselves.

The Imperial Music Bureau, as the biggest Gold Cave in Tiandu City, occupies half a block, with over a thousand registered musicians and courtesans.

Among them, there are only five Oirans.
