Chapter 469: The No.1 Scholar’s ​​Dark Moonlight Ex-wife 37

Shen Xinran frowned, "But you haven't returned Wangcai to me yet."

Han Ziwen remained unmoved and simply said calmly, "Show him off."

Two guards immediately stepped forward, one of them grabbed Shen Xinran's arm and dragged her out.

Shen Xinran stood at the door, looking at the tightly closed gate, her teeth itching with anger. If you have the guts, just don't let her in. You let her in and then kick her out, what's the point of that?

Shen Xinran returned to Hefeng Pavilion and happened to see Ji Ming coming out of the study with a sad face.

When his eyes met Shen Xinran's, he revealed an unspeakable sadness, but he said nothing and just walked away silently.

This silence made Shen Xinran feel more guilty than any words. If she didn't bring Wangcai back, she would really deserve to die!

At night, Shen Xinran lay in bed alone, tossing and turning, and it took a long time before he fell asleep.

She was feeling angry, so she didn't want to look for Han Ziwen.

But what surprised her was that instead of going to find Han Ziwen, Han Ziwen asked someone to come find her.

Han Ziwen's guard stood in front of Shen Xinran with a serious expression, "Auntie Guo, the governor said you can serve the sweet soup."

When Shen Xinran heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm late, I've already finished eating."

The guard nodded and continued to convey Han Ziwen's words: "The governor said that if it's gone, please make another bowl or buy one."

In fact, Han Ziwen's original words were more direct. He said: "She will definitely say it's gone. She will either ask someone to make it or go out and buy it."

The guards had already helped him polish it a lot when conveying it, but even so, Shen Xinran still felt very angry.

What does Han Ziwen mean by this? He took her dog away and still wants her to make sweet soup. How shameless!

But Shen Xinran dared not speak out, she could only reply with a stiff smile: "Okay, I will go and redo it for the governor right away."

Shen Xinran brought the freshly cooked sweet soup to Lianxiangting, and was led by the guards to Han Ziwen's study.

With a gentle smile on her face, she said to Han Ziwen as soon as she entered the door: "Brother Ziwen, your guard said you wanted to eat sweet soup. As soon as I heard it, I immediately brought it to you."

Han Ziwen raised his head, glanced at Shen Xinran, chuckled, but said nothing.

Shen Xinran placed the food box on the desk in front of Han Ziwen, took out the sweet soup wrapped in a cloth, and placed it in front of Han Ziwen. The aroma of the sweet soup filled the air.

Shen Xinran looked at the steam coming out of the bowl and thought: It's fresh out of the pot, it would be best to scald you to death.

But she didn't show any emotion on her face, and even smiled at Han Ziwen, "Brother Ziwen, eat it while it's hot."

Han Ziwen picked up the spoon, gently stirred the sweet soup in the bowl, and began to eat slowly.

Shen Xinran took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Ziwen, is the sweet soup delicious?"

Han Ziwen's attitude was lukewarm, "It's okay."

Shen Xinran was delighted. She went straight behind Han Ziwen and massaged his shoulders while saying softly, "Then just give Wangcai back to me!"

Han Ziwen said expressionlessly: "You are too late, I have already eaten it."

Shen Xinran's eyes widened in surprise, "Did you really eat it?"

Han Ziwen curled his lips and said, "I cut its body open and took a look at the heart inside. It was actually black, so I made it into buns."

When Shen Xinran heard this, she knew that Han Ziwen was not talking about Wangcai, but was hinting at her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Han Ziwen on the shoulder and said half-jokingly, "Brother Ziwen is so annoying. You scare me with this kind of thing."

Han Ziwen glanced at Shen Xinran. His facial expression was indifferent, and he said casually as if he was talking about the weather: "I want to eat sweet soup every afternoon, but the kitchenette is a bit far."

Shen Xinran was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he immediately said: "It's okay, I'll take it to you."

Han Ziwen nodded and continued, "I'm used to reading every morning, but it hurts my eyes a bit."

Shen Xinran didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll help you read it, it hurts my eyes."

Han Ziwen frowned and thought for a moment, "I still have to go to the suburbs for inspection every day, but I need someone to serve tea and water."

Shen Xinran took a deep breath and said with a stiff smile: "It's okay, I'll go with you."

Han Ziwen looked into the darkness, and soon a dog ran out from the shadows.

Wangcai had a muzzle on his mouth, which prevented him from making any sound, but his tail was wagging rapidly as he circled around Chen Xinran excitedly.

After Shen Xinran thanked Han Ziwen, he took Wangcai back to Hefeng Pavilion.

When Ji Ming saw Wangcai, the sadness on his face was instantly replaced by great joy. He hugged Wangcai tightly and asked with a choked voice, "Wangcai, did the governor do anything to you?"

Shen Xinran stood aside and sighed softly. Wangcai was back, but she was trapped.

Chen Xinran travels back and forth between Hefeng Pavilion and Lianxiang Court every day, sometimes several times a day.

The servants in the mansion were the first to discover it and soon began to whisper. They said that Aunt Guo wanted to climb up the social ladder but didn't even consider whether her status was worthy of it.

After hearing these rumors, Ji Houquan found Han Ziwen as quickly as possible.

He said in an apologetic tone, "Sir, I've heard that Concubine Guo has been harassing you many times. Please don't take it to heart. I'll deal with her shortly."

Han Ziwen raised his head from the documents in his hand, frowning, "No need."

Ji Houquan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by not using it?"

"I said no." Han Ziwen repeated with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Ji Houquan nodded quickly and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I understand."

But he was puzzled. What did the governor mean by this? Could it be that he really had a crush on Concubine Guo?

Not only Ji Houquan, Tang Yan also heard the rumors circulating in the mansion. With a hint of worry, she found Chen Xinran and asked, "Xiaoxi, are you not satisfied with your current life?"

Shen Xinran nodded, "Very satisfied."

Tang Yan frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Xiaoxi, what's the situation between you and the governor?"

Shen Xinran replied calmly, "Nothing, he just needs someone to serve him, so he asked me to lend a hand."

Tang Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly. "Xiaoxi, you have to understand that it's not easy to enter a wealthy family. There are many dirty things inside, not to mention that you've already been married once."

Shen Xinran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know I'm just a maid in his place."

Tang Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but there was still worry in her eyes: "It's good that you know. I'm afraid you will be unable to make it through. Then none of us can protect you."

She had another worry in her heart: if Shen Xinran really had something going on with the governor, what would happen to the shop they jointly opened?

Although the shop is now on the right track, she cannot keep it going for long on her own without Chen Xinran's new ideas every now and then.
