Chapter 466: The Dark Moonlight Ex-wife of the Number One Scholar 34

Chen Xinran calmly took out a tael of silver from his sleeve. The little maid's eyes flickered with hesitation, but she was still a little hesitant, "But..."

Shen Xinran took out another tael of silver from her sleeve. The two ingots of silver lay quietly in her palm, as if telling of a silent temptation.

The maid's face lit up with joy. She quickly took the silver and bowed deeply to Shen Xinran, "This servant thanks Madam Guo for the reward."

Shen Xinran looked at the little maid's back as she left, shook his head, and sighed deeply. In this evil world, it is really difficult to move forward without money.

Shen Xinran hid behind the rockery and waited patiently.

The rockery is surrounded by various flowers and plants, which sway gently in the breeze and emit a faint fragrance.

The mosquitoes seemed to become particularly active. Shen Xinran waved his hands to drive them away from time to time, but he still inevitably became their target.

When her arms were bitten thirteen times, she finally heard the voice of the little maid, "Master, the changing room is just in front."

Shen Xinran's spirits lifted. She quickly straightened her clothes, then gracefully walked out from behind the rockery and called softly, "Brother Ziwen."

Three years ago, Han Ziwen was just a scholar, dressed in plain clothes, with eyes filled with curiosity about the world and pursuit of ideals.

But now Han Ziwen is already a governor. He is dressed in luxurious clothes, and a dark-colored python robe with dark patterns shows his status and power.

His eyes became deeper and sharper, as if he could see into people's hearts and understand the world.

Han Ziwen's eyes just glanced at Shen Xinran lightly, then he ignored her existence and continued to walk in the direction the maid pointed.

Shen Xinran didn't expect Han Ziwen to be so indifferent. She quickly stepped forward, took Han Ziwen's hand, and pretended to be pitiful, "Brother Ziwen, I'm Xiaoxi."

Han Ziwen stopped and said with a serious expression, "No, you are not Xiaoxi, you are a stone monster."

Shen Xinran was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Han Ziwen to answer like this. But she quickly adjusted her mood and thought: Forget it, if you think she is a stone demon, then so be it.

She took a step forward, gently put her head against Han Ziwen's chest, and said with a smile: "That's your stone monster too."

Han Ziwen looked at the woman in front of him who was both familiar and unfamiliar. He seemed to have never truly understood her.

She could leave without hesitation after his leg was injured, and when they met again, she could sweetly call him "Brother Ziwen".

The little maidservant beside her spoke cautiously, "Auntie Guo, can I leave now?"

Han Ziwen's expression had eased slightly, but after hearing the words "Auntie Guo", his face instantly turned gloomy.

Shen Xinran's heart tightened. She looked up at Han Ziwen, only to see a cold flash in his eyes.

Facing such a Han Ziwen, Shen Xinran couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She could only sigh and say, "Brother Ziwen, you don't know how difficult it is for a woman to be out there. In fact, I regretted it the moment I left you."

Han Ziwen's tone was full of sarcasm, "I regret not leaving earlier!"

Shen Xinran wondered how the male protagonist could be so powerful. She blinked and said softly, "Of course I regret leaving you."

Han Ziwen's tone became even colder. "And then you immediately found yourself a new man."

Shen Xinran gently hugged Han Ziwen's waist and said pitifully: "Brother Ziwen, are you blaming me?"

Han Ziwen still had a cold expression on his face, "Let go."

However, Shen Xinran acted as if she didn't hear anything and held him tightly, unwilling to let go.

Han Ziwen said no more, directly pried Shen Xinran's hands apart, and strode away.

Shen Xinran looked at Han Ziwen's back as he left, shook his head and sighed, "Men, it's so obvious whether they love or not."

But today's mission was accomplished, so she clapped her hands and turned to leave.

Shen Xinran returned to his yard, but just as he reached the door, he heard a familiar dog barking. Then, a big yellow dog ran out of the yard excitedly, wagging its tail at Shen Xinran.

The big yellow dog was very thin. Ji Ming picked it up half a year ago. At that time, its tail was broken in half and its leg was lame.

Ji Ming wanted to keep the dog at home, but Tang Yan disagreed. Shen Xinran felt sorry for the dog and persuaded Tang Yan. Tang Yan finally agreed to keep the dog and named it "Wangcai."

After half a year, Wangcai's legs were still a little lame, but it no longer affected his walking. However, his tail could not be restored, so it looked funny.

When Shen Xinran saw Wangcai, he frowned and said, "Wangcai, I don't have any food with me."

Wangcai barked twice, circled around Shen Xinran, and walked into the yard with Shen Xinran.

In the yard, Tang Yan was sitting in the rocking chair that Shen Xinran had been sitting on before. While she was counting the bills, she asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Shen Xinran smiled faintly and said, "I took a walk outside."

Tang Yan nodded and continued to calculate. When she finished the last page, she stood up excitedly and asked, "Do you know how much money our cosmetics shop earned last month?"

Shen Xinran asked, "How much?"

Tang Yan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she made a "one" gesture to Chen Xinran.

Shen Xinran guessed: "Ten thousand?"

Tang Yan's face was filled with pride, "It's one thousand taels."

Shen Xinran nodded, "That's not bad."

The excitement in Tang Yan's heart was instantly extinguished by Shen Xinran's speculation. Shen Xinran was so calm that it seemed as if she had never seen the world.

Wangcai circled around Shen Xinran and Tang Yan, and when he saw that neither of them paid any attention to him, he started running around in the yard.

Ji Ming came out of the room, frowning and asked, "Wang... Cai Zui... What happened recently?"

Shen Xinran turned around and glanced at Wangcai, "He probably wants to go out and play!"

Ji Ming nodded, "Then... then I'll take it out to play tomorrow."

Tang Yan suggested: "Autumn is here, and the fruits in the suburbs should be ripe. Let's go play in the suburbs together!"

Shen Xinran nodded, "Sure, let's bring some cakes and tea, and treat it as an autumn outing."

As the eastern sky just showed light, Shen Xinran woke up. He didn't wake up naturally, but was awakened by a burst of rapid dog barking.

Wangcai probably knew that he could go out and play today, so he started barking excitedly in the yard early in the morning, wagging his tail like a rattle.

Shen Xinran knew that he couldn't sleep, so he got up directly and prepared the things he needed for the autumn outing.

The carriage carrying the three people slowly drove out of the city gate in the morning light and headed towards the mountains and forests in the suburbs.

The wheels rolled through the bustling market, crossed the golden wheat fields, and finally stopped in front of a picturesque mountain forest.

There is a crystal clear stream here, and the gurgling sound of water and the singing of birds in the forest interweave into a natural melody.

As soon as Wangcai got off the carriage, he ran wildly around the path in the field excitedly. His four hooves were flying and his tail was wagging like a victory flag.

Seeing this, Ji Ming hurriedly chased after him, panting and shouting, "Wang... Wangcai, run... run slower."

When Shen Xinran saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking to himself: Is it Ji Ming taking Wangcai for a walk, or is it Wangcai taking Ji Ming for a walk?
