Shen Wan was embarrassed. Now that the matter between him and Chen Ruoqiu had become a laughing stock in the entire imperial court, his colleagues looked at him as if he was a joke. It was simply a torture for Shen Wan, who was thin-skinned.
Shen Wan said, "I'm willing to sacrifice my life for Your Highness!"
When Fu Xiuyi heard this, he only smiled imperceptibly and did not reply. It was unknown if he trusted Shen Wan or not. There were only the two of them and the servants in the hall. This silence gradually made the atmosphere tense. Cold sweat started to break out on Shen Wan's forehead.
After a long silence, when Shen Wan felt that he was drenched in sweat, he heard Fu Xiuyi's voice. He said, "But now that Shen Xin has already left the Shen family, what's the use of having you?"
Shen Wan's heart skipped a beat. Shen Xiin was indeed the reason Fu Xiuyi was enthusiastic towards him back then.
