Chapter 44 Top-Tier PUA Masters: Impossible to Defend Against

Xiao Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Although she didn't understand why Lin Wan'er was so persistent, she felt that her elder brother would eventually marry a wife of equal social standing, and Lin Wan'er had left a good impression on her.

If we could help out a little, create some opportunities, and help my brother and her get married, that would be nice.

“Okay, I can help you,” Xiao Lingxi said.

"But one thing is certain: the interests of the Marquis's mansion cannot be harmed. I will not betray my mother and elder brother to help you!"

Lin Wan'er looked relieved: "Of course. I am already very grateful that you trust me and help me. How could I do anything to put you in a difficult position?"

Her tone was sincere and impeccable.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Wan'er had Qingdai present a neatly bound manuscript to Xiao Lingxi.

“Since my younger sister has agreed to help me with such a big favor, as her older sister, I should naturally do something in return.”

"These are some political commentaries that my grandfather annotated in his spare time, as well as several model essays from previous years' imperial examinations that are hard to find elsewhere. Young Master Shen is very talented, and if he has these for reference, they may help him broaden his thinking and prepare for the autumn imperial examinations."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingxi's eyes lit up instantly!

She took it without hesitation, as if it were a precious treasure.

this!

This is a godsend!

She had originally planned to go to her elder brother's study to find some manuscripts or similar items to give to Shen Moyan, but she was worried that she would be discovered.

Lin Wan'er's grandfather was the Grand Tutor, so his knowledge was undoubtedly exceptional. With these "treasures" of his, wouldn't Shen Moyan be even more powerful?

"Sister Lin! This...this is too precious! I..."

Xiao Lingxi was somewhat excited, but ultimately decided to accept it.

"On behalf of Young Master Shen, I thank you, sister. Rest assured, I will keep your matter in mind."

She clutched the booklet tightly, feeling that Lin Wan'er was simply the best person in the world, and her previous minor doubts had long since vanished.

After thanking her repeatedly, Xiao Lingxi happily left the teahouse with the manuscript.

Seeing her walk away, Qingdai stepped forward at the opportune moment and asked Lin Wan'er:

"Miss, that's the old master's manuscript, it's incredibly precious, and you just gave it to her like that..."

Lin Wan'er said calmly, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If a few pages of old paper can bring in an insider from the Yongning Marquis's mansion, it's worth it."

What she wanted was for Xiao Lingxi, and Shen Moyan behind her, to gradually owe her favors and become more and more deeply bound to her!

In the future, they will become increasingly intertwined with Xiao Jingheng and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion!

...

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoyu was carrying a sewing basket and walking towards the Marquis's residence when a dusty gray carriage drove past her as she passed the west street entrance.

This wouldn't have been a problem, but just as we were passing by, a gust of wind blew in from somewhere and lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.

Then, Su Xiaoyu saw a small part of a familiar face and subconsciously paused in her steps.

"Second Miss?"

Didn't she say she was going to the temple to pray for her wife? How did she end up here?

Moreover, this carriage looks very ordinary; it doesn't seem to be the one that the Second Miss uses for her travels.

Su Xiaoyu was filled with doubt, but without thinking, she turned around and followed.

Finally, the carriage stopped at the side gate of Qingsong Academy, under a secluded willow tree.

Su Xiaoyu darted behind a corner of the wall not far away and watched with bated breath.

Before long, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Xiao Lingxi indeed leaned out, holding an exquisite food box and several wrapped books.

At that moment, a man dressed in a pale white robe walked quickly towards the door.

The man was slender and carried a book basket, giving him a refined and gentle appearance.

Su Xiaoyu recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this Shen Moyan from the flower-viewing banquet?

"Miss Lingxi."

Shen Moyan smiled warmly, his gaze falling on the item in Xiao Lingxi's hand: "How could I trouble you to deliver it personally?"

"It's no trouble at all." Xiao Lingxi smiled and handed over the items: "I brought you some good stuff. Take a look at it yourself when you get back, but be careful not to let your classmates see it."

Xiao Lingxi also had her own selfish motives.

Shen Moyan's family is not well-off. If he can win the imperial examination this year, he will definitely enter officialdom in the future, which will raise his status.

The distance to the Marquis's residence would be closer, and perhaps then their elder brother and mother would agree to them being together.

Shen Moyan took the item, opened it, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is……"

This is a book about current affairs in the imperial court, with detailed annotations of observations and insights. The writing is vigorous and the language sharp and precise.

It's clearly the work of a great master.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Seeing Shen Moyan completely stunned, Xiao Lingxi was also very happy.

"Yes." Shen Moyan nodded emphatically, clutching the book to his chest as if it were a precious treasure. He then bowed solemnly to Xiao Lingxi.

“Miss Lingxi, I am unworthy of such a generous gift, I…”

"Oh, I'm glad you like it. Anyway, I don't need any of these things, so giving them to you, Young Master Shen, is a good way to make the most of them."

Behind the corner, Su Xiaoyu stared in shock at the scene before her, nearly dropping the sewing basket in her hand.

Oh no! This is impossible to guard against!

Shen Moyan is quite cunning! He dares to speak to the Second Miss in broad daylight and even helps her smooth her hair.

Oh dear, why didn't the second young lady move away? And she's blushing! What are you blushing for?!

This guy is a top-notch PUA master. You, Miss, are no match for him!

Su Xiaoyu stomped her feet in frustration. She saw Shen Moyan say something to Xiao Lingxi, which made Xiao Lingxi cover her mouth and giggle shyly.

no!

Something has to be done.

If this continues, the Second Miss will be devoured by this hypocrite until not even a bone fragment is left!

Finally, Su Xiaoyu returned to the Marquis's residence, looking dejected and listless.

Because she realized that, after thinking all the way, she couldn't come up with a good way to let the second young lady see the true colors of that scoundrel Shen Moyan.

You can't exactly tell people, "Oh, I can predict the future, can you?"

She couldn't possibly discuss the current situation of the Shen family, since she was just a maid who had never left the capital since childhood. How could she possibly have investigated the Shen family's affairs so thoroughly without any reason?

"Little fish?"

At the entrance of Moyunzhai, Changfeng saw her like this and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, her eyes lighting up when she saw Changfeng.

"Brother Changfeng! Has the young master returned?"

Changfeng was taken aback by her eagerness, then smiled and said, "You're back. I just got back to the study."

He had also wanted to say, "The young master even brought you some novel foods and trinkets from Jiangnan."

As a result, Su Xiaoyu said "Thank you, Brother Changfeng" and then ran inside in a flash, lifting her skirt.

Changfeng stood there, clicking his tongue in disapproval. He chuckled and said:

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and Xiaoyu misses the young master so much that she runs faster than a rabbit."

Changfeng had a look on his face as if he were watching a melon seed.
