Chapter 174
Granny Chen shook her head, saying it was Shen Qingnian's order, and no matter what Xiao Shenxi said, Granny Chen refused to open the courtyard gate.
In the end, Xiao Shenxi could only return to the inner courtyard in a huff.
The little girl was very angry. She went back to her room and sat on a stool, sulking. She was both angry and aggrieved, feeling that her mother was being unreasonable.
After having dinner today, Xiaoju and Liu Yurou went to the market with their embroidery. They strolled around and bought some embroidery, and also sold some of their recent embroidery. They wouldn't be back for long.
After fuming on the stool, Xiao Shenxi got up and wandered aimlessly around the yard.
She wasn't one to give up easily; as she paced around the courtyard, she frantically tried to figure out how to get out...
Half an hour later, a small figure climbed out of the window. The window was quite high, but fortunately there was grass below, so the person would not be injured except for some pain after falling.
Riverside.
Xiao Yanqing, who was waiting under the tree, was kicking pebbles out of sheer boredom. He would glance ahead every now and then, and when he found no one there, he would lower his head in disappointment.
We made plans yesterday, so why hasn't Xiaoxi come yet? Does she not like playing with him?
But they had a lot of fun yesterday, and Xiaoxi said she really enjoyed playing with him...
The morning sunlight shone on the young master's shoulder, and his fair, round face looked somewhat sad.
The next moment, a clear, sweet voice rang out: "Xiao Qing, I'm here!"
Little Shenxi ran over, her little face flushed, her big eyes filled with golden sunlight.
She hugged Xiao Yanqing like a small cannonball.
Xiao Yanqing's initial disappointment turned into joy, and he hugged Xiao Shenxi back, extremely happy.
His good friend kept his word!
"Xiaoqing, you smell so good! It smells a bit like jasmine!" Xiao Shenxi twitched her little nose.
After taking the small purse from her waist, Xiao Yanqing handed it to Xiao Shenxi: "It smells like my purse. This is for you."
Ever since the Emperor discovered that the Empress Dowager's body was a fake, everything related to Jasmine has been forbidden in the palace. This purse was something he secretly left behind.
He felt that he and Xiaoxi were already close friends, and since Xiaoxi had given him a hair tie yesterday, he should reciprocate.
Xiao Shenxi took the purse, smelled it, and then hung it on her waist. She smiled brightly and said, "I really like this purse!"
The purse is embroidered with delicate jasmine flowers; no little girl dislikes flowers.
Xiao Yanqing was delighted to see that the other person liked it: "My mother loves the scent of jasmine, and so do I. I didn't expect that you, Xiao Xi, also like jasmine. We are truly kindred spirits!"
I brought a lot of money with me today; we can go buy some snacks first.
"Come on, I know a pastry shop that has really good pastries!" Little Shenxi excitedly pulled Little Qingyan along, and the two headed towards the street.
The two ate a lot of snacks during the day, and Xiao Shenxi felt extremely satisfied.
Mother was indeed afraid that I would sneak snacks, which is why she wouldn't let me go out.
As noon approached, the two children reluctantly said goodbye. Before leaving, Xiao Yanqing slipped a handful of golden beans into Xiao Shenxi's hand.
"Take this and buy some snacks you want to eat," Xiao Yanqing said, clearly fond of this confidante.
Xiao Shenxi thought Xiao Yanqing was such a good friend, so she invited her again, "Let's play together again tomorrow. The Flower Festival is coming in a few days, let's go to the Flower Festival together!"
Xiao Yanqing readily agreed, and then the two parted reluctantly.

As Xiao Shenxi, clutching the handful of gold coins, reached the entrance of the alleyway leading to her home, she saw Shen Qingnian waiting there with a cold expression—
