Shen Xu held onto his shoulders, lifted her legs and stepped over him, then nimbly got out of bed. She looked at the inky night sky, frowned, and said, "Can you please accompany me to the toilet?"
Song Lin was already feeling very hot and stood up impatiently, "Why are you so troublesome?"
"It's too dark outside. You don't really want me to pee on your bed, do you?"
“Get out!”
Song Lin stood outside the toilet holding a lamp. The cool breeze blew on his face, and the heat in his body dissipated a lot.
After a while, Shen Xu finally came out slowly, not forgetting to complain: "Why are you standing so far away? It's too dark for me to see clearly when you stand so far away."
"You're the one with too many things to do."
......
For several days in a row, Shen Xu used his talent of being able to do nothing to destroy many objects in Song Lin's courtyard.
But this man who spoke so harshly had no intention of driving her away. He even took her to buy some new clothes and went to the clinic to treat her amnesia, as if he really wanted to worship her as his ancestor.
Aunt Zhang's attitude towards her had deteriorated considerably. She often ordered her to do housework and would often pull Song Lin into a corner to scold him: "Master Song, look how stupid she is! You can't indulge her like this! You're the one who spent the money, she should be serving you, not you serving her!"
Song Lin smiled and said it was okay, his uncle said that a wife should be loved after she is married.
"You are not marrying a wife, you are clearly offering sacrifices to your ancestors."
"Aunt Zhang, these are your responsibilities. If you let Xiuxiu do all of them, I might as well just hire her."
Aunt Zhang shut up tactfully. She finally had a job with a stable income, so how could she let others take over the job?
After dinner, Shen Xu rushed to put away the bowls. Song Lin looked at her worriedly as she filled a basin with water and didn't let herself interfere.
In order to prevent him from seeing his clumsiness, Shen Xu pushed him into the room, put the dishes in the basin, rolled up his sleeves and started washing.
Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Shen Xu suddenly felt a little depressed. He was eating people and living with people, but he didn't help and instead made things worse. However, Constable Song didn't complain at all. Did he really have to be treated like a useless ancestor by him?
She stirred the water in the basin blankly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the dishes in the water. "I'm such a bad person, why is he still so nice to me and still wants to marry me?"
Shen Xu accidentally bumped into the chaotically stacked bowls and plates on the ground, and with a loud crash, the pile of bowls all fell to the ground, making a loud shattering sound.
Song Lin was reading in the room. When he heard the noise, he came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's broken." Shen Xu said, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the pieces, but there were too many broken pieces of the bowl, and she couldn't pick them up with both hands. She grabbed hard and cut her hand. Red blood flowed out of the wound, dripping onto the white ceramic fragments.
The pain in her palm made her nose sore. After living here for so many days and causing so much trouble, she suddenly became very worried that this handsome man would suddenly drive her away.
"Don't touch it." Song Lin said with a stern face. He grabbed her hand and asked her to throw away the broken pieces. Without saying a word, he took her into the room.
Shen Xu followed behind him, and seeing his stern face, he had to admit honestly: "I actually don't know how to wash dishes."
Song Lin's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Yeah, I can tell."
"I'm sorry, Constable Song, I didn't mean it."
Song Lin said nothing. He took out gauze and knife wound medicine from the cabinet, sprinkled some medicine powder on her hand, and bandaged her wound while instructing her, "You don't have to wash dishes or cook in the future. Don't go to the kitchen. Leave the housework to Aunt Zhang. I'll pay for it."
"Oh." She lowered her eyes in disappointment and swallowed the words "Can you please not chase me away?"
Why should anyone take me in when I've caused so much trouble?
But I don’t know anything, how can I return the money to him?
…
On the other hand, Ye Wanqing decided to act separately from Murong Yan. Murong Yan was responsible for getting the investigation records of the Dali Temple, while Ye Wanqing made an appointment with Ye Xueruo to meet at the teahouse.
"Brother Xu, why did you come to see me today?" Ye Xueruo looked around and took out a few boxes of lip balm and a few hairpin flowers from her pocket.
Ye Wanqing looked at her blankly as she took out a colorful box and placed it on the table. "What are you doing?"
"I haven't seen that merchant from the southern border recently, and I didn't buy the Snow Skin Jade Cream. How about the things I gave you earlier? Did Sister Lin like them?"
Ye Wanqing was puzzled and was about to ask what it was. But she saw Ye Xueruo spread out her hands and said, "Put it away quickly. If you need me to bring you something next time, the old rule is payment first, then goods."
Well?
Does Ye Xueruo have some secret deal with Shen Xu?
She tentatively took out a silver coin from her pocket, about five taels.
Ye Xueruo took the silver and weighed it in her hand. "What do you want to buy for Sister Lin?"
"Well……"
"I think a flower ornament would be a good gift. Makeup that sticks to the forehead is very fashionable. I'll help you choose. I guarantee Sister Lin will like it."
"Your sister is dead, why don't you react at all?" Ye Wanqing asked her cautiously.
"Yeah." Ye Xueruo nodded, her expression calm and she spread her hands and said, "This way, no one at home will bully me."
"Hey, Brother Xu, you gave Sister Lin so much rouge, powder, and jewelry, didn't Sister Lin give you any gifts in return?"
"Ah? No."
Ye Wanqing was still wondering who the Sister Lin that Ye Xueruo was talking about was, only to see Ye Xueruo say coquettishly with a hint of disappointment, "I thought she would give you the Juebi Snow Swallow from Xiling, but I didn't expect Sister Lin to be so stingy."
"Unlike me, who worked so hard to run errands for Brother Xu and bought so many things, I thought you would also give me a treat."
Ye Wanqing was so embarrassed listening to her half-sister's teasing remarks that she dug her toes into the ground. She resisted the urge to lose her temper and just smiled awkwardly.
It turned out that Shen Xu was looking for her to help buy something.
"By the way, does that tiered beaded pink rosy fairy dress I brought you last time fit you? The owner of the clothing store said it was altered to my waist. Did Sister Lin say it was too small?"
Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes in her heart. Her half-sister was really a white lotus. That pink fairy dress with tiered pearls and flowers was just perfect for Lady Shen.
With Ye Xueruo's waist, it was definitely impossible for her to wear it. She even deliberately said that it was modified according to her waistline. What a lie!
Is this a deliberate attempt to show how petite and charming she is, with a slender waist? It's hilarious! It's a good thing Lady Shen is so low-key, otherwise she'd be so jealous.
But Ye Xueruo was too cruel. She sold her a flower ornament for five taels of silver, and earned four taels and ninety wen with tears and blood!
Moreover, Xiling Xueyan costs at least seventy or eighty taels. Normally, Er Niang is reluctant to buy a whole lamp, but Ye Xueruo actually dares to ask her for it.
He really treated Chen Xu as a sucker and exploited him to death.
