Chapter 35 Chapter 35 It’s so boring to talk to you…

Su Guanzhang said to her in surprise, "You actually pay attention to this?"

Xuan Jinyu raised her hand and pinched him.

Su Guanzhang remained calm and easily held her hand in his palm - he had become accustomed to her pinching him these days.

Xuan Jinyu rarely quarreled with others in her boudoir. Her background was there, and she was favored at home, so there were few people who would not be tactful enough to provoke her.

It was only after she married him, often annoyed by his dull and unromantic nature, that she slowly learned to curse. Yes, when she cursed, she was basically cursing him.

After being exiled, Xuan Jinyu scolded him less because he was almost always surrounded by people.

But she learned it by herself.

Thinking of this, Su Guanzhang touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

He raised the good Miss Jiaojiao, but now she will hit people when she is unhappy.

Overturning the table at the banquet at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was a signal.

Xuan Jinyu not only knows how to bite people now, but she is also very skilled in pinching people with just the right amount of force - it often hurts people, but because she controls the force just right, it doesn't leave bruises.

She learned this from the experience of biting him until he bled and pinching him until his body was covered in bruises. She slowly figured it out and improved it.

Xuan Jinyu attacked with confidence and without hesitation. Su Guanzhang was quite pleased with being bitten and pinched, but he always worried about why he had upset her again.

Every time she bit or pinched him unexpectedly, he felt the pain but usually didn't know why she was unhappy.

Only this time he understood that he seemed a little rude and shouldn't have questioned her.

Su Guanzhang admitted his mistake and said, "I underestimated you. I'm sorry."

Xuan Jinyu raised the corner of her mouth in triumph, unfazed by his grip on her fingers. "Just say: You're not mistaken. You're really smart, as expected of you."

Su Guanzhang: "..." He couldn't find any words to praise her like that.

Su Guanzhang almost couldn't bear being looked at by her sparkling eyes.

He coughed lightly, "Not all warriors have bad tempers, and they have a mission to perform."

Xuan Jinyu frowned and looked at him, asking him to praise her. What was he talking about?

"I usually observe the battalion guards under the Ministry of War and the imperial guards of the imperial city, and I find that these two teams are indeed a bit at odds with each other."

Xuan Jinyu relaxed her brows, as her observation was confirmed by him.

Xuan Jinyu was not unhappy even though she didn't hear what she liked to hear.

She had become accustomed to this man's dullness. If she really heard him praising herself according to her own words, she would even question whether he had been possessed by someone else.

As long as he agreed with her conclusion, it would be fine. She was just that smart after all! If her grandfather ever called her a fool again, she would have something to refute him.

Xuan Jinyu was happily thinking about how to send a letter to her grandfather after reuniting with her third brother, when she suddenly heard the man say, "But you see, they've been getting along pretty well along the way."

One group walked in front and the other group walked behind, and they basically didn't communicate with each other on the way.

This is called "getting along okay?"

Xuan Jinyu glanced at him sideways, her eyes full of "You are lying" and "I'll watch you continue to make up stories."

Su Guanzhang actually understood her look at this moment, so he couldn't say anything.

He held her in his arms, "Are you bored? You were woken up last night. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

It was broad daylight, and the temple was full of outsiders, leaving no place for peace and quiet. Besides, she wasn't sleepy, so who would want to sleep at this hour?

"I am feeling quite bored. I am suffocated by you, this wooden stake." Xuan Jinyu pushed him away and stood up.

Why do you say he is a wooden stake?

Su Guanzhang stood up and looked at her in confusion.

"It's boring to talk to you. I'm going to go find my grandmother and the others."

The conversations between her grandmother, mother and second aunt were much more interesting, and they would not tease her as easily as her sisters-in-law.

However, if the sisters-in-law are free, it would be fun to joke and play with them. She can fight three of them at once!

In addition, the children would perform various fun games and repertoires they had arranged for their aunt to make her happy.

Xuan Jinyu counted them one by one, and the more she counted, the more she felt that Su Guanzhang was annoying.

Anyone could be better than Su Guanzhang, this block of wood who couldn't even hold a conversation.

Not only did he ruin her good mood, but he also made her sleep when he didn't know what to say.

He is good at saving trouble, but he can't even coax anyone.

Wasn't he so smart just two days ago? He was back to his original form so quickly. She would rather he teased her!

Xuan Jinyu became more and more angry. She grabbed his hand, lifted his sleeve, and bit his wrist hard. "If you want to sleep, go to sleep by yourself."

After biting, she let go, looking at the teeth marks with satisfaction. Her biting skills had improved, and she felt relieved.

Su Guanzhang followed Xuan Jinyu's gaze and looked at the two small rows of teeth marks on his wrist. Then he thought about her words and finally understood why she was angry.

"Jinyu, if you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep." He said dryly, "I'll go with you to talk to Grandma."

Xuan Jinyu reached out and pinched him again, "Shut up, don't keep sleeping, are you afraid that others can't hear you?"

Su Guanzhang shut up.

So Xuan Jinyu let go.

She gave Su Guanzhang a disdainful smile and said, "Don't come over here. Once you come, we can't enjoy our conversation anymore."

Su Guanzhang had no choice but to stand where he was and watch her cross two small paths and walk briskly to find her grandmother and the others.

As soon as she passed by, her grandmother joyfully took her hand. Her mother and second aunt also looked at her with concern, their lips adorned with smiles.

Su Guanzhang stared at the joy in Xuan Jinyu's eyes, unconsciously rubbing the bite mark on his wrist, as if thinking about something. Grandmother and the others really could make her happy.

In the end, they were unable to leave the abandoned temple that day.

When the rain eased a little, the two teams each sent out a few people to look for food. Finally, Su Guanzhang from the Su family no longer had to go into the woods, and his three brothers consciously followed the team.

A group of people braved the rain and went deep into the mountains and forests. They caught a lot of prey and a few buckets of fish, and finally arranged lunch and dinner.

Fortunately, the rain stopped not long after dinner, and the sky was clear the next day.

The bright sun hung in the sky, and the weeds that had absorbed enough water were bent over, with steam escaping from them.

The human eye cannot see the moisture, but only feels a warm air rushing towards the body.

The two officers and soldiers who went out to explore the way came back and said that the ground was muddy and the road was not easy to walk on.

So the team of more than a hundred people stayed in the abandoned temple for another morning.

Probably because it was the beginning of summer, the sun was very strong and all the water on the ground dried up after noon.

The group, who had been trapped in the abandoned temple for more than a day, finally set off and continued on their journey.

As agreed yesterday, today they no longer chose to walk through the deep mountains and forests, but instead went out and reached the official road in time for dinner.

They were now standing on the vertical line of the cross-official road.

The end of the vertical line is right in front of me, while the horizontal line stretches out at both ends and disappears at the end of my sight, with no idea where it leads to.

They naturally looked closer, and the small town lay before them.

Chen Yang walked back from the front, pointed at the small town, and asked Su Guanzhang, "Shall we go in? But this town is too small. I don't know if it can accommodate all of us."

Among the five men in the Su family, Su Sheng is the Duke. No matter how gentle he looks, his majesty cannot be concealed.

Moreover, he has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 30 years, and he has a very murderous aura, which often makes his fellow warriors feel wary of him.

Unless necessary, Chen Yang rarely dealt with him.

Among the remaining four young masters, Su Guanzhang was the one he was most familiar with; and looking at the attitude of the Su family, they all implicitly prioritized Su Guanzhang's decisions, and did not care that he was the youngest of this generation.

So when Chen Yang had something to do, he would naturally come to him to discuss it. I believe Wang Hu thought the same way.

Su Guanzhang's gaze fell on the town in the direction of Chen Yang's finger.

It's called a town, but its area is probably smaller than some larger villages. Standing here, you can see the end of the square wall.

It is called "Sifang Town", which is a very appropriate name.

There was a faint sound of horse hooves approaching, but it sounded far away.

"No need to bother." Su Guanzhang followed the direction of the horse's hoof sounds and turned to look at the other end of the official road, where dust was flying.

The tall flags on the carriage fluttered in the wind very ostentatiously, shining brightly under the scorching sun.

He had already recognized that this was the flag of the caravan of Xuan Wensheng, the third brother of the Xuan family.

"Someone is here to pick us up." Su Guanzhang said.

Hearing this, the Su family also stepped forward. Wang Hu, who was at the back, also made his way through the crowd and came to the front.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the flag in the distance.

Xuan Jinyu also recognized the flag. She stood beside Su Guanzhang and unconsciously pinched the corner of his clothes.

Su Guanzhang looked back at her, took her hand, and wrapped it in his palm, and said softly, "It must be the third brother who came to see us."

Xuan Jinyu's eyes sparkled like stars and she nodded vigorously.

At this time, the carriage heading towards the crowd was approaching, and she recognized that the person riding in front was none other than her third brother's personal bodyguard.

The people in front also saw them.

The man riding in front turned around and said something to the person behind him. Soon, a horse passed him and galloped towards this side.

This was the fifth day of their exile, and Xuan Wensheng, the third brother of the Xuan family, came to pick them up.

The horses stopped a few feet away from them to avoid the dust from falling on them.

Xuan Wensheng jumped off the horse swiftly.

"Third brother," Xuan Jinyu called out in surprise, "Didn't mother say you would be waiting for us at Yu'an Mansion?"

Her hand, which was held in Su Guanzhang's palm, moved excitedly, trying to break free from his restraint.

If he hadn't held her waist firmly from behind and reminded her that she was pregnant, Xuan Jinyu would have jumped up and down without restraint.

"Jinyu, slow down." Su Guanzhang didn't let her go, and whispered, "Be careful with the child."

Xuan Jinyu stood there reluctantly, waiting for her third brother to walk towards her quickly.
