Bai Shu smiled mischievously and snuggled up with Jiang.
Seeing that her daughter had really grown up, Jiang Shi thought that perhaps they should respect her more.
With tears in her eyes, she stroked Bai Shu's back and said softly,
"Mother will always believe in Shu'er. Don't worry, the Bai family will always be your strong backing!"
Jiang and Bai Heng have always treasured their daughter Bai Shu the most, but since they cherish her, they should respect her even more.
"Thank you, mother."
Bai Shu was moved by Jiang's affirmation. This is the love a mother has for her children.
Even though she had just arrived here, she was able to quickly integrate into the role.
Therefore, she must protect the Bai family and this family.
…
After that, Bai Shu stayed in her room for several days. When she was free, she would stroll around the yard and never leave the Xiangfu Mansion.
Although Bai Shu escaped Xiao Moqing's love confession at Tianxiang Restaurant that day,
But she still hadn't sorted out her thoughts, let alone her feelings, and she didn't know how to face Xiao Moqing.
[Tongzi, why didn't Xiao Moqing send someone to look for me? ]
[I mentioned that he would receive treatment every three days. Isn't he worried about his health?]
It’s strange to say, but Chengfeng didn’t come to see Bai Shu during the days when she didn’t go out.
[The Regent should be looking for Su Su, right? ]
[Maybe because he just expressed his feelings, he wants to give Susu some personal space and doesn't want to force Susu? ]
It has to be said that those involved are confused, while those who are watching can see things clearly.
As an outsider, the system had already discovered Xiao Moqing's little tricks.
So if you love someone but don’t want to meet them, it’s probably because you’re afraid to meet them.
[Does that mean I should take the initiative to find him? ]
Bai Shu lay on the table depressed, tapping the edge of the tea bowl with her fingers.
These past two days were so boring. She wanted to go out and play, but she was afraid of running into Xiao Moqing.
She didn't know what she should do.
It stands to reason that if a man confesses his love to a woman and the woman also falls in love with him, she should agree to him without hesitation.
If the woman doesn't have this man in her heart, then why not just decline and wish him to find the right person?
Such a simple thing stumped Bai Shu.
She is not heartless to Xiao Moqing, but she cannot agree to him. So, in what state should she face Xiao Moqing?
Who will teach her?
She is a novice in relationships, so how come she has to face such an epic problem right from the start?
[The Regent isn't the type to force himself on someone, right?]
[Not to mention that he's currently suffering from a cold poison, and it's unknown how long he can live. Doesn't it seem like he'd force Susu to do anything?]
The system was a little puzzled. Although it was sometimes afraid of the Regent,
But to be fair, the Regent's character is still acceptable, right?
[No, he didn't force me. He just said that if I wanted to get married, it would have to be with him.]
Bai Shu remembered this sentence very clearly. Xiao Moqing said that he liked her and wanted her to marry him.
But he didn't ask for a deadline, so he must be unsure himself, right?
[Since that's the case, Susu has no intention of getting married right now, so just get along with him normally.]
If that day ever comes, it will still be too late to think about these things.
[If it really doesn't work, Susu will go and help the Regent detoxify in order to complete the mission. This way, the psychological burden won't be so great.]
The system saw Bai Shu’s dilemma, but wasn’t it also confused?
This last world is so weird, there is no task progress bar, and no side quest check-in rewards.
It vaguely guessed that this world was a long-term mission and would not let them leave easily.
So if we really have to choose one person, the Regent is indeed the best candidate for the host's husband.
It is both emotional and can be accomplished, killing two birds with one stone!
【Well, what you said does make some sense.】
[But if a woman knows that a man likes her, but still pretends nothing has happened and continues to get along with him, isn't this really the behavior of a scumbag woman? ]
This is the problem that Bai Shu feels she has not yet overcome.
Maybe there is no right or wrong in love, but Bai Shu has a scale in her heart and she has to distinguish between right and wrong.
[Relationships need to be cultivated. How can you know if someone likes you if you don’t spend time together?]
[There are only a handful of people who can succeed with just one confession, even if he is the regent.]
The system instantly felt that its image was very tall,
It's a system that can explain emotional knowledge to Bai Shu in a clear and logical way. It's really amazing!
You have to reward yourself with something!
【……】
[Tongzi, do you know what you look like now? ]
Bai Shu said softly.
What am I like? A life mentor who can enlighten you?
The system still feels that its current image is extremely charming!
[You are like my best friend who only knows how to eat. No matter how shocking the things I do are, as long as it does not betray our friendship, you will find countless reasons to defend me!]
Bai Shu finally realized that the system would always stand on her side and could not say anything bad about her.
She might as well find some fashionable novels to read.
Speaking of this, although people of this era are very conservative, the popular reading materials are all extremely explosive!
The daughter of a wealthy family and a poor scholar, the cold and powerful official and the delicate princess, there is nothing that cannot be found on the market, only things you can't imagine!
The more Bai Shu thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She should be able to learn a lot of good things by reading more romance novels.
Bai Shu immediately called Youlan over.
"Youlan, tell someone to buy some books that women will like. Remember, buy lots of them. They must be bestsellers!"
Bai Shu signaled Youlan with her eyes, fearing that she didn't understand.
"Okay, Miss. This is the invitation my wife just sent over. She said it's from the Queen."
Although Youlan didn't understand why Bai Shu suddenly wanted to read these novels, she would do as the young lady instructed.
"The invitation from the Queen?"
Hearing this, Bai Shu became interested. She sat up straight and looked at the big red invitation with gold foil.
She was very curious about what happened to the queen and the little emperor.
Is the relationship heating up rapidly, or is there a rift?
However, Bai Shu believed that with the queen's naturally beautiful temperament and appearance, as long as the little emperor was willing to take a look at her carefully, he would not be able to escape her and would be obsessed with her for the rest of his life.
"Yes, Madam said that it was the Empress who invited Miss to attend the palace banquet at noon."
"But only Miss was invited. I guess it's because of the fake pregnancy incident last time."
Youlan handed over the invitation. An invitation to a palace banquet was a symbol of honor.
This time, the Queen did not invite Jiang and others, nor did she invite other women in the capital. She must have been thinking about what happened last time.
"Will the Prince Regent attend the Queen's banquet?"
Although Bai Shu was curious, she did not forget Xiao Moqing.
