She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 255 Green Tea Selfish Cousin 24

Chen Feng said that Lan's request was for them to treat Shen Weicang the same way they treated Aunt Qin.

But Shen Weicang was accompanied by the Imperial Master that day, so they did not dare to take action. They thought that Lan wanted to silence them, so they posted what she had done everywhere.

Tan Wuning guessed that Lan had also plotted against Shen Weicang in the previous life, but later she hooked up with Yan Qizhao and Lan stopped.

Although she couldn't understand why the Lan family wanted to harm her niece in this way, Tan Wuning knew that Yan Qizhao was most likely acquainted with Shen Weicang, and she couldn't wait any longer.

But Yan Qizhao was a prince, and it was not easy to plot against him, so Tan Wuning had to start with Shen Weicang.

Shen Weicang followed Qiuyun to a waterside pavilion, where Tan Wuning was sitting at a stone table playing chess with him.

"Miss, Miss Shen is here."

Hearing Qiu Yun's voice, she stood up and reached out with a smile to hold Shen Weicang's hand:

"Ms. Shen is finally here. I was worried that you wouldn't come today, and I was waiting anxiously."

Shen Weicang let her pull him to sit down at the table: "How could that be? I promised to come, and I won't break my promise."

"I hope Miss Shen doesn't think I'm being abrupt," Tan Wu Ning smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't grow up in the capital, so I don't have many friends here."

As she spoke, she motioned Shen Weicang to look at the chessboard: "Miss Shen, do you know how to play chess? Why don't we play a game first?"

Shen Weicang shook his head: "I'm sorry to make Miss Tan laugh at me, I don't know these."

"That's fine," Tan Wuning asked Qiuyun to put away the chess game. "My eyes are a little tired from watching it, so let's have some tea."

Without the tolerant mentality of his previous life, when sitting with Shen Weicang again, Tan Wuning felt that she was not as good as him in any way.

How on earth had she been bullied by such a petty-minded person and suffered so much?

Chunfeng served the tea, and Tan Wuning just started to introduce it: "This is Lu'an tea, with a unique tea fragrance. I wonder if Miss Shen can get used to it..."

Duo'er, who was behind Shen Weicang, came over, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

Tan Wuning was a little surprised: "Ms. Shen, this is..."

Duo'er said coldly, "Everything our young lady takes into her mouth must be tested for poison. Miss Tan, please forgive me."

Tan Wuning felt ironic in her heart that a commoner woman who came from a foreign country to live with her aunt was also learning the poison testing method from the royal family.

I don't know where she learned this air of arrogance. Even she, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingnan, never puts on such airs.

Shen Weicang pretended to be displeased: "Duo'er, Miss Tan specially invited me to be her guest, how could there be any problem with the tea? You are too suspicious."

"It's okay, I'll let Chunfeng add more for Miss Shen," Tan Wuning smiled graciously and reminded, "But you can't taste the real tea fragrance if you drink it all at once, you need to savor it slowly."

This time Yun'er didn't make any move. Shen Weicang picked up the teacup, but let out a scream, and the cup slammed onto the stone table with a "bang", spilling the steaming tea and tea leaves all over the table.

"Sorry, I'm so rude," Shen Weicang said apologetically, "This teacup is too hot."

Yun'er immediately picked up her hand and looked at it anxiously, and said distressedly: "Miss, your hand is burned red."

Tan Wuning glanced at Chunfeng, then at the teacup. From the rising steam, it was not difficult to judge that the heat of the tea was definitely not enough to scald Shen Weicang so much that he could not throw it away.

It seems that the stubborn and bad nature in her character has not changed. It is the fate of people like her to marry Yan Qizhao and die early.

Tan Wuning suppressed the hatred in his heart and asked with concern: "Is the burn serious? Let me..."

Before he could finish his words, the black snake in Shen Weicang's sleeve suddenly came out and bit the hand that Tan Wuning extended to him.

Tan Wu Ning was most afraid of snakes. He screamed and threw his hands away: "Ah!"

But the black snake was so fast that she couldn't dodge it. At the last moment, Shen Weicang pinched the black snake's tail. When its master pinched it, the black snake immediately lost its strength and obediently crawled back onto her wrist.

Tan Wu Ning was a little confused when he saw this scene: "Why is there a snake?"

Shen Weicang's hands trembled, as if he was frightened by her:

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry. Yesterday Wan Heng specifically told me to bring the black snake with me when I came today. I thought Miss Tan wasn't afraid of snakes."

"Did Xie Wanheng ask you to bring the snake here?" Tan Wu Ning repeated in disbelief, "How is that possible?!"

Doesn’t Xie Wanheng know that she is most afraid of snakes?

Seeing Shen Weicang nod with that pitiful look again, as if she had bullied her, Tan Wuning felt annoyed.

She became alert, thinking that maybe Shen Weicang said that on purpose, and she couldn't be led astray.

Xie Wanheng will only love her in this life. She has witnessed it in her previous life. She will not be fooled by Shen Weicang's unfounded words again.

"Wan Heng asked me to bring it with me," Shen Weicang admired Tan Wuning's expression and explained to him while comforting the black snake.

"This black snake usually likes to follow me around. It never bites anyone. I don't know what stimulated it just now. If Miss Tan is scared, I won't let it out."

Tan Wuning didn't dare to look any further and kept avoiding her gaze. Chunfeng and Qiuyun were both a little unhappy to be in front of her:

"Ms. Shen, who would come to visit with such a thing? What if it hurts our young lady?"

Shen Weicang explained somewhat helplessly:

"It's really well behaved and never bites anyone. It must have been because I got burned just now that it thought I was injured and wanted to come out to protect me."

Seeing her young lady being wronged, Duo'er's face turned cold:

"This snake was given to my young lady by the Imperial Master. What is this thing?"

"Ms. Tan was not injured, but my young lady was burned. Is this how you treat guests?"

Now the black snake, which had been appeased, raised its head and spit out its tongue again. Chunfeng and Qiuyun felt their scalps tingling and dared not look at it anymore.

"Okay," Shen Weicang advised softly, "It's just a misunderstanding. Don't be so nervous. My hand doesn't hurt anymore."

She comforted the black snake and said:

"Ms. Tan, I really didn't know you were afraid of snakes. It's all Wan Heng's fault that he insisted on bringing me along. I thought I had finally met someone who wasn't afraid of snakes like me, but I didn't expect such a misunderstanding."

Tan Wuning asked Chunfeng and Qiuyun to step away and forced a smile: "It's okay, Xie Wanheng may not know that I'm afraid of snakes, so I can't blame him."

Shen Weicang felt amused. Was Tan Wuning talking to her or to himself?

Even after she said so much, Tan Wuning was still so tolerant of Xie Wanheng. She was truly infatuated with him.

When they returned to Chaoyun Garden, Lan was sitting in the main seat.

Seeing Shen Weicang coming back, she said with a fake smile: "Cangcang is really cool and carefree, did you have a good time?"

Shen Weicang said in a cold tone: "Aunt, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing important, I just want to remind you kindly that your Yilang is still in my hands."

Lan stood up and walked over to face her, and said with sympathy, "Are you so cruel that you don't care about your lover?"

Shen Weicang clenched his hands and stared at her angrily: "What do you want to say?"

Lan chuckled and said, "He is now poisoned and needs an antidote every month to prolong his life. How long it can last depends entirely on you."

"As long as you can get Xie Wanheng to work for me, your lover can live. The decision is in your hands."

Shen Weicang suddenly covered her abdomen in pain, and Duo'er supported her in panic: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Seeing her pale face and cold sweat on her forehead, Lan was also a little puzzled: "Where did she go today?"

Duo'er had no intention of paying any attention to the Lan family. Shen Weicang suddenly vomited blood, fainted and fell to the ground.

Tan Yuan in the Imperial Master's Mansion suddenly stood up from his chair.
