Since then, Murong Yan really didn't assign much homework to Ye Wanqing. At most, he would just give her some classwork.
However, Ye Wanqing was a self-conscious person and did not slack off. In addition to completing her usual homework, she would ask A Rao to practice a few moves with her every day.
After unremitting efforts, she managed to save Shen Xu's face - all the grades remained between B and B+, except for archery.
Commander Ye would really make things difficult for her on purpose.
Murong Yan was like a fox that had tasted sweetness, finding all kinds of excuses to secretly kiss her cheek. It was obvious that he really liked Chen Xu's dimples.
"Murong Yan, just say what you want to say. Why did you kiss my face again?" Ye Wanqing wiped her face angrily, clenched her fists and hit him hard on the chest.
Murong Yan dodged nimbly and even pretended to be hit by a punch, clutching his chest and groaning, "What are you doing? Are you trying to murder the Crown Prince?"
"If you dare to attack me again, I'll break your ribs and make soup with them. I don't care if you're the crown prince or not, I'm Shen Xu anyway."
This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more annoying than Shen Xu when it comes to teasing girls.
Humph, birds of a feather!
Murong Yan still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "What does it have to do with you if I kiss my own brother Xu?"
He wore a sly smile and contentedly reached out to touch the dimple on her cheek. He fearlessly leaned in closer to examine her carefully and said, "Miss Ye is right. The more I look at her, the more I think Ah Xu is beautiful. Could it be because Miss Ye lives here?"
After saying that, he held her face again and kissed her other cheek very hard.
"Oh, you're sick, it's so annoying!" Ye Wanqing was so angry that she jumped up and down, and wanted to punch him, but she couldn't move her fist because of the fake breasts, so he nimbly dodged to the side.
"You are the one who infected me with the disease." Murong Yan smiled like a fox that was cunning, complacent and a little bit cool.
Ye Wanqing deeply regretted that she had provoked Chen Xu's brothers in order to trick him.
Now, it seems like some strange switch has been turned on in this brother.
For someone like him, could it be that his brothers used to stop him, but now that his brothers are gone, he gradually lets himself go?
After succeeding, he became even more unscrupulous.
Fortunately, he didn't know that Shen Xu was a girl, otherwise -
Hiss~ Let’s never let him find out. Stop contacting him as soon as we’re done investigating the case. And if we see him next time, we’ll just take a detour!
…
On the other side, Haoyue Kingdom
The days in the small town were slow and dull. Ever since Yan'er and her daughter came that day, there had been no guests in Song Lin's quiet courtyard.
As for the wedding ceremony, it failed due to Shen Xu's insistence on refusing.
Yan'er and her mother had gone to the detention room several times to look for Captain Song and Song Lin, but it seemed to be unsuccessful. Perhaps Song Lin had clearly said no, and most people in the town had dignity and would not make a fuss.
Chen Xu handed the two translated books from the North Sea Kingdom to the bookstall owner. The bookstall owner looked at the words in surprise and murmured that Constable Song had really translated them.
"My dear lady, I can't confirm the contents of these two books right now. I will take them to someone knowledgeable for confirmation in a few days. I will buy them at the price of other books first, and I will give you the remaining money after confirmation."
"The boss can't deny the debt."
"Oh, how can I blame Constable Song for this?"
The book stall owner took out a few more books and asked Shen Xu to take them back to continue copying. He also praised her, "Constable Song has a good income in the yamen. He is so diligent. He wants to help you live a good life. You are so lucky."
Shen Xu smiled politely and was about to go back with the book in her arms. She glanced back at the crowd in confusion, then turned back to chat with the boss.
"Well, Constable Song is truly a trustworthy and ambitious husband. We have already made plans. After we get married and save some money, we will go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations and serve our country." She smiled with her eyebrows curved, and her voice seemed to have gained a lot of confidence, and she spoke very loudly.
The boss smiled and praised, "Great, you have ambition. I wish your husband a speedy success in the imperial examination. But you'd better hurry up and go to Beijing for the imperial examination. The Spring Examination is about to begin. If you save money now and rush to travel, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"It's still in time. We're going to take part in the Autumn Examination, and we've almost saved enough money. Once we have enough, we'll go to the capital to find a place to rent and concentrate on preparing for the exam. Boss, please pay the balance to my husband as soon as possible. We'll be on our way soon."
"Okay, I'll hurry up." The bookstall owner picked out a book and put it in the drawer. "I'll keep this book for now. If Constable Song passes the imperial examination, my bookstall will also have books copied by the juren himself."
"Thank you for your good wishes, and I wish your business will be prosperous."
"Young lady, you are really good at talking. The townspeople all say that you are... ha, so offensive."
"It doesn't matter. I don't live my life with others."
"Miss, what you said makes sense. I think you are very delicate. You and Constable Song are a perfect match, a man of talent and beauty."
Shen Xu lowered his head and smiled, said goodbye to the bookstall owner, picked up the books and walked towards Song Lin's courtyard.
When she returned to the yard, the puppy was barking, but when he saw her coming back, he stopped barking, wagged his tail and circled around her feet, whimpering in grievance.
"Ah Huang, are you hungry?" Shen Xu put down the book, picked up the puppy and comforted it, then opened the kitchen door and added a spoonful of rice to its bowl.
"Eat well, and don't bother me when you're full." She touched the dog's head with a smile, and when she saw that the puppy was no longer making noise, she picked up the book and went into the room.
Shen Xu placed the book on the desk, lit the small incense burner, sat down quietly, and began to write and draw on the paper.
