But who was the fool, who did not know what the meaning of every single word that Shen Sie Lie had spoken earlier.
Even now Shen Yu Lin felt very impatient with the white lotus girl, who always made trouble for her beloved sister.
In the moment Shen Yu Lin wanted to stand up and defend Xi Lilian. But before that happened Shen Yu Lin had actually been stopped by Xi Lilian who was currently still sitting quietly while putting back the chopsticks he had taken before.
And Xi Lilian was very calm when serving the game that Shen Sie Lie is doing at this time.
Xi Lilian also did not pretend to be stupid, and also displayed a weak and helpless figure before everyone. Xi Lilian was even very outspoken when she replied to Shen Sie Lie who pretended to be very considerate and sympathetic to her.
"Ehm...First Miss Shen, why did you suddenly become concerned about what I was doing?" xi Lilian asked as if she did not care about what she had done.
"Of course I care" said Shen Sie Lie with a concerned look and also saddened to see Xi Lilian's reaction
"really?! Why do I feel otherwise? Not even the look in your eyes could hide the ripples of happiness so great that you are feeling right now." xi Lilian asked, hinting that she really did not trust Shen Sie Lie at all.
"What is..?" shen Sie Lie stammered.
Because he was very confident that he had tried his best to show the attitude of attention and suppress deep happiness that He felt.
And before Shen Sie Lie could escape his shock, Xi Lilian had even continued her assault.
Because Xi Lilian knew very well, that in a critical moment like this then all one's lies could be displayed unintentionally by the person himself.
" Ahh yes Miss Shen Sie Lie.... Do you know this isn't what you've been dreaming of for a long time? So that I Xi Lilian can break up with your beloved Prince all this time? So that you can be more free to tease him, as you have been doing all this time when Prince Huo Lin Jin came to the General's Residence" Xi Lilian said blatantly.
And it was completely unexpected by Shen Sie Lie. So that without realizing it Shen Sie Lie was stunned and seemed to not believe the attack of words spoken by Xi Lilian who directly revealed the contents of Shen Sie Lie's heart
"K you... How do you know?!" shen Sie Lie muttered involuntarily.
Hearing that loud enough mutter made everyone now set their eyes on him. As if I could strip it. Which made Shen Sie Lie feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.
When Shen Sie Lie realized that he had said something he should not have said. It made him even more nervous and he immediately wanted to give an explanation to clarify his words just now.
"Aahhhhhhhhhh...Ahhe.... No, no, I really never meant it that way. Lian'er of course I care about you, after all you are my sister too? And my point is, because your age is young and it makes you act too rashly and recklessly in making decisions. Of course I as a big brother, will definitely be very regretful of your actions earlier. I just hope that you can live a good life in the future with His Highness Crown Prince Huo Lin Jin," shen Sie Lie said with a wave and it was also seen that he was very panicked when he said it.
"Ohh, is that so? Why do I feel like that? And usually in the opinion of many, if the first utterance spoken unconsciously it is the most sincere to express the content of one's heart. Ah yes one more, I suggest to Miss Shen Sie Lie to think more about the people around and closest to you, before committing and looking for faults of others. Especially in a public place like this? What exactly is Miss Shen Sie Lie saying here? Do you really care about me or is there some hidden intent to this action of Young Miss Shen Sie Lie?" xi Lillian's lashings were very relaxed, but in every word that Xi Lilian spoke there was precisely an aura of decisiveness that was very difficult to be refuted by anyone.
Everyone, who was there, and even the Emperors felt that this Shen Sie Lie indeed had bad intentions on his own sister.
So that not a few people began to whisper to gossip.
"It was unexpected that her appearance that was so gentle and virtuous as the first Young Miss of the Great General Shen family had such a terrible heart, was so cruel!" muttered a lady official who was also present there.
"Yes, I didn't expect this before either. But wasn't he just the son of a concubine of the residence, he even dared to try to bully and bully an Official Young Miss of the Residence. Is it because this Miss Xi Lilian has lost her mother since birth? does he feel that he can be superior? it's absolutely ridiculous if he thinks like that" the other chimpanzee with a cynical and disgusted look looked towards Shen Sie Lie.
And there were many more sounds heard in the dining room. That makes everyone forget about ethics when eating.
Shen Sie Lie who heard Xi Lilian's words and everyone who was now starting to criticize and judge her vices made him immediately look at the Father, the Great General Shen Guo Feng.
And the first thing he felt right now was a sharp gaze and filled with anger. Even now he also felt shudder in horror feeling the pressure of the Father's aura that was aimed specifically at him.
Once he realized his mistake Shen Sie Lie tried his hardest to resist the fear and distress he felt. And try to explain and calm the Father.
This really made Shen Sie Lie extremely frightened and unwilling at the same time. And this was only the first time he had experienced this kind of thing in his life.
And all of this was caused by the person he hated the most. Because of his higher status Shen Sie Lie really hated Xi Lilian. Which Xi Lilian was the same person who had been bullied by him all this time and he looked down on.
But why at this time it is precisely himself who got the bad luck. He planned to harm Xi Lilian in front of everyone. But now he is being humiliated.
In his heart, Shen Sie Lie was eager to take revenge on Xi Lilian, who had dared to take action against him before all the dignitaries of the entire Empire.
"Ayahanda, Lie'er never meant what sister said, Lie'er just wanted to reprimand the younger brother who had dared to ignore the existence of the inner Father....," shen Sie Lie had not yet spoken his words to persuade Father. It has actually been stopped.
"Enough, everything is clear! I already understand everything. And I've known you well since childhood. How could you be any different from your sly mother. When you've always been educated and pampered by him all this time. Now kneel down and apologize to your sister Lian'er!!" resolutely the Great General Shen Guo Feng with a countenance that restrained his mounting anger.
"Aak I aakuu. but Dad..," said Shen Sie Lie stopped.
"There is no word but, Do it right now" exclaimed the Great General Shen.
Hearing the Father's orders, Shen Sie Lie really felt unacceptable if he had to humble himself before Xi Lilian and in front of everyone.
But Shen Sie Lie also couldn't ignore his father's extremely annoying orders in his opinion. And this made him a thousand-fold hate Xi Lilian down to his bones.
But he would not want to have to do it. For the sake of continuing to maintain his father's status and support.
On Xi Lilian's side, he could see very clearly. How reluctant is Shen Sie Lie to apologize to him in front of all the guests present.
And Xi Lilian knew full well how the current feeling of Shen Sie Lie being suppressed had to drop his own dignity from the person he hated the most.
So Xi Lilian immediately interrupted him before Shen Sie Lie gave a response.
"No need to force! If indeed Miss Shen Sie Lie did not want to do what Great General Master Shen did as well it was fine Miss would not have to lie to the feeling there was to do so." xi Lilian said still in a very relaxed tone. As if the one in trouble was not him.
"Why?! Why not be thankful for mercy? Has even cousin-in-law forgiven him?" xia Ning Shui asked who was very curious. Why was Xi Lilian able to say so casually like that.
"Ah Miss Xia, uh, you should also understand if someone who is very proud of himself and looks at others like his footwear, of course, it will greatly hurt his pride if he has to kneel apologizing and admit all wrongs. And once he who felt so noble was suppressed had to kneel and prostrate at the feet of the man whom he had always considered very low in his eyes, not something that was not easy. And I'm pretty sure if he even wants to refuse to do it. If only that person really wanted to do it and humbled himself before the person he hated the most. Of course it was not sincere when he did it. And it would most likely inflict a much greater new grudge on that person. Besides that person does not want to confess or feel himself guilty. But his selfishness must have bestowed the blunder that he clearly made on his enemy. So on what basis is Miss Shen Sie Lie willing to do what General Shen said. Not if it happens, most likely Miss Shen Sie Lie will actually be more and more," Xi Lilian said deliberately not to say the next word.
Because Xi Lilian was very sure if everyone already knew what he wanted to say.
And, of course, everyone there understood what Xi Lilian meant, and what was explained in such detail by Xi Lilian.
So everyone there also drew the same conclusion regarding Shen Sie Lie who was currently still silent in his seat.
As for the Great General Shen Guo Feng who saw that Shen Sie Lie was just silent in his place.it really made him very dissatisfied and also grew even more resentment towards his concubine Princess.
"Lian'er, I'm really sorry that Dad always made my daughter oppressed all this time, I'm very sorry" said General Shen Guo Feng with great sincerity. Even her tears had soaked her cheeks.
This was the first time that the powerful and formidable Great General Shen, by the nickname of the warlord whose notorious cruelty was crying before everyone.
But Xi Lilian, who saw General Shen behaving like that, seemed indifferent. And as if he did not hear or see how the attitude and sincerity of the figure of the father, Xi Lilian considered it was gone.
"Hadn't it been enough for Master General to hurt my brother all this time? So you even still want to corner my Lian'er in front of all the distinguished guests present here? Is there still not enough of your beloved daughter that you've been proud of and you've spoiled it trying to make Lian'er embarrassed. And you still want to add more trouble to her?" a sinister and cold voice from the figure of a very handsome young man who was by Xi Lilian's side.
"Son, that's not what Dad meant. I really sincerely want to apologize to you both Lin'er and Lian'er as well. Because all this time I've been wrong with you. Father only...," said General Shen Guo Feng was cut off by such a cold hiss.
