Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 11 - Borrowing the Protagonists Aura

The original Shen Roujia had a cold personality, and Shen Roujia herself was low-key. So, no one noticed any changes in her, except for Shen Siqi, who thought her sister had become more lively.

“Jiao Jiao, you should have seen Gu Yunqing’s face just now! It turned as red as a pig’s liver. It was hilarious,” Shen Siqi laughed.

Shen Roujia quickly covered Shen Siqi’s mouth, half-angry, half-amused. “Second Sister, your mouth! Keep your voice down.”

Shen Siqi looked around and chuckled. “Every time she speaks, it disgusts me. I finally managed to shut her up.”

Shen Roujia smiled lightly. “I remember we didn’t have much to do with the General’s Mansion before.”

Shen Siqi nodded. “That’s right. But this Second Miss Gu from the Gu family is very influential. She’s present at every notable banquet, always making herself known.”

“Her skill lies in charming people with her sweet lies. Those who aren’t sharp enough fall for her tricks.”

Shen Siqi’s words were sharp, but they aligned perfectly with what Shen Roujia knew. Shen RouConcubine Jiagned understanding and nodded. “Second Sister, you have a keen eye.”

After saying that, Shen Roujia was suddenly attracted by a figure in the distance and frowned slightly.

Shen Siqi followed her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Roujia shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

Shen Siqi seemed to remember something and hesitated. “Speaking of which, Gu Yunqing is basking in her sister’s glory. How come we haven’t seen the eldest Miss Gu, who just returned from the border?”

Shen Siqi looked around but didn’t see any unfamiliar faces.

Shen Roujia’s lips pressed into a line. Gu Zhi? Is the heroine Gu Zhi about to appear?

Shen Roujia vaguely remembered that Gu Zhi’s initial humiliation happened at a tea party. Whether in her past or current life, Gu Zhi was not someone who mingled with the inner courtyard women. She intended to live for herself this time around.

Although she suffered some setbacks in the inner courtyard, she ultimately succeeded. She used her intelligence and military strategies to deal with her enemies one step at a time.

In the beginning, the heroine seemed weak but was actually patient and biding her time, moving forward with the wind.

Shen Roujia tightly pressed her lips, recalling the nanny she had just seen. She called over Xiao Fu and gave her some instructions in a low voice.

Just then, the drum sounded, marking the official start of the banquet. Although men and women sat together, only the sons of nobility could make the young ladies willing to show themselves.

Especially when the Grand Princess appeared, followed by a proud man in a brocade robe, causing everyone to gasp.

Shen Roujia looked at the extraordinary-looking man and frowned. Why did he resemble her ex-boyfriend so much?

Shen Siqi scoffed, “Look at these people’s faces. It’s just Prince Chun, and they’re all acting like wolves seeing meat.”

Shen Roujia felt a chill down her spine. Prince Chun?

Why were there so many important people all of a sudden?

This Prince Chun was the fourth son of the Emperor, named Xu Lianggeng.

He was also Gu Zhi’s past life husband who deceived her and betrayed her family, ruining her martial arts and killing her family. He even murdered her unborn child.

To prevent her from cursing him, he nailed her into a coffin before she died.

Shen Roujia shivered at Xu Lianggeng’s polite smile.

Every time she saw Xu Lianggeng’s face, she couldn’t help but compare him to her ex-boyfriend, the seemingly gentle lamb who was actually a beast inside.

Such a waste of a good face.

Noticing Shen Roujia’s unusual gaze, Xu Lianggeng accidentally made eye contact with her.

Shen Roujia quickly reacted, pretending to be shy and lowering her head.

At this moment, Xiao Fu returned and whispered to Shen Roujia, “It’s strange. That nanny handed a handkerchief to a young man.”

Shen Roujia’s heart skipped a beat but then recalled that this was after Gu Zhi’s rebirth. With the protagonist’s aura, she would be fine even if she faced some trouble.

But the more she thought this way, the more uneasy Shen Roujia felt.

Just then, there was a commotion, and Shen Siqi excitedly grabbed Shen Roujia’s arm. “Jiao Jiao, the third elder from White Stone Academyis here!”

Shen Roujia didn’t know who this was until she saw a graceful lady approaching. She was slightly confused.

Shen Siqi, overly excited, patted Shen Roujia. “Didn’t you say that you admired this Lady Miao Yin the most? Why don’t you seem happy?”

With things on her mind, Shen Roujia didn’t ask for details. She looked over at Gu Yunqing, who smiled sweetly at her as if nothing had happened.

Feeling uncomfortable, Shen Roujia shifted her gaze and noticed a simple figure behind Gu Yunqing.

Seeing that side profile made Shen Roujia’s heart tremble slightly. She had a hunch.

She called Xiao Fu and asked her to identify the young man she had seen. Without delaying, Shen Roujia decided not to interfere with the storyline.

But the faster the heroine’s story progressed, the sooner Shen Roujia could leave. So, pushing things along was not a big deal.

She bent down and instructed Xiao Fu, “Find someone to tell that young man that someone from the Gu family wants to meet him in the small garden.”

Xiao Fu was surprised and looked at Shen Roujia. “Your Highness, what are you planning?”

Shen Roujia raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fu without smiling. “Hmm?”

Xiao Fu’s heart tightened. “Yes, I’ll do it right away.”

After Xiao Fu left, Shen Roujia looked up and met Gu Yunqing’s gaze, smiling gently.

Gu Yunqing wasn’t an easy opponent. Seeing Shen Roujia leave alone after drinking, she got up and followed at a leisurely pace, hoping to establish some rapport without causing a scene in front of Shen Siqi.

Shen Roujia walked quickly, keeping an eye on Gu Yunqing from the corner of her eye, maintaining a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.

Hearing footsteps behind the bushes, Shen Roujia swiftly hid behind a nearby rock formation.

From there, she could clearly see the small garden.

Shen Roujia lightly pinched her earlobe. Just as she expected, Gu Yunqing had lost her.

“Where is she?”

“Don’t worry, Miss. She might be resting in the small garden ahead.”

Gu Yunqing snorted disdainfully. “A country bumpkin, relying on her brother to marry a cripple, really thinks she’s something.”

Her maid nervously stopped her. “Miss, be careful with your words.”

After a few steps, Gu Yunqing saw the dandy she had arranged earlier. “What are you doing here?”

Seeing Gu Yunqing, the dandy quickly bowed. “Miss Gu.”
