Chapter 80: Secret Feelings
Miss, Miss, you insisted on going out and hiding, and now you have missed a good show!
This time, not only General Xie came, but even the mysterious and noble Miss Jun came as well. It seems that good things are about to happen.
Qing Ning covered her mouth and giggled, waiting outside the private room diligently.
It’s a pity that Mu Ze didn’t come. The one guarding outside the door was General Chu Zhao with a frosty face.
Qing Ning only saw that Chu Zhao was emitting a cold aura, and there was no joy on his face.
If General Xie and Miss Jun really got married, Miss Jun could be considered their matchmaker. How could she have expected him to be so cold and heartless.
It seemed as if this private room was not a warm scene of a young man and a young lady expressing their love under the moonlight, but rather a battlefield with swords drawn.
Qing Ning glanced at the maid Qi Man who was also waiting outside. She saw her face full of arrogance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After all, she was a maid from a prominent family, and her aura was even stronger than their young ladies, as if the shop was already in her pocket.
However, thinking of the two thousand gold coins that were about to come, Qing Ning still smiled at her in a friendly manner, "Last time, it was really a misunderstanding. My young lady didn't know your young lady's identity, so I was very offended..."
But before he could finish his words, Qi Man glared at him fiercely, "Shut up!"
Qing Ning was speechless.
I wanted to help your daughter with good intentions, but was accused of meddling in other people's business?
Qing Ning is also a person with a bad temper. She has been doing business with Su Shengsheng for so long, and even when she made mistakes, she has never been treated so coldly.
When she thought about it, her own young lady had never given her any respect, so why should she endure the bullying from this maid from an outsider?
Qing Ning also snorted coldly, turned her head away and ignored her again.
A maidservant is so rude and unreasonable, how could General Xie possibly fall for that one?
Thinking of this, Qing Ning immediately retracted the idea.
All the happiness and contentment under the moonlight and flowers are not as real as the pure silver.
In the private room
Jun Yao's voice was low and cold, "You are attracted to her, aren't you?"
The people she sent reported that Xie Xuan had come here twice recently.
However, Xie Xuan only looked out the window, not paying any attention to her.
As the eldest daughter of the Jun family, Jun Yao has always had everything she wants since she was a child. However, she fell in love with Xie Xuanxin the first time and has been deeply involved in him ever since.
The head of the Jun family was very obedient to Jun Yao and even allowed her to stay in Xie Xuan's fiefdom and not return for many years.
But it was not until this moment that Jun Yao discovered with shock that the person she had been thinking about was about to be taken away by someone else.
This feeling of powerlessness and inability to control her made her lose her usual composure. "Xie Xuan, you actually fell in love with a woman who's already engaged?"
In addition to the uncontrollable anger in her voice, there was more disbelief.
Because Xie Xuan did not deny her words.
Apart from disdainful denial, there is only irrefutable silence.
When she thought that he would fall in love with someone other than herself, a look of anger involuntarily appeared on Jun Yao's beautiful face.
But when she saw his cold profile, her angry voice gradually subsided.
"She doesn't know about this yet, right?" Jun Yao asked sharply, "How dare the dignified Xuanming King not even express his feelings?"
At first she was unsure, until the shop owner fell to his knees in fear and refused to sell the shop or reveal the man's identity.
The answers to all these questions are hidden in Xie Xuan's silence.
He remained silent, just staring at the dark moon outside the window, which deeply hurt Jun Yao's heart.
"She's just the daughter of a criminal. How is she better than me? Xie Xuan, I've loved you for ten years. Why haven't you ever looked at me?"
Perhaps it was Xie Xuan's disregard that prevented her from ever reaching his heart, or perhaps it was the fear of impending loss that made Jun Yao gradually lose her mind.
"The Imperial Master is not afraid of the powerful. Even if his entire family were reduced to hard labor, he would never allow a woman in his family to break her contract and marry you just to curry favor with the powerful." She sneered, "You know this, so you don't dare to take any action, right?"
She slowly stood up, across the table, as if trying to bring her sharpness closer to his eyes.
"Tell me, if King Xuanming fell in love with a woman who was already engaged, how would the world view her?" Her laughter deepened, as if it were madness. "Would they praise her for her sincere filial piety, or mock her for ruining her reputation just to cling to the powerful?"
She enunciated the last few words with extra emphasis, her gaze growing even more stern.
Xie Xuan finally turned around, but without even looking at Jun Yao's face that was crazy about love, he stood up without saying a word.
He even ignored her almost desperate look and walked straight out.
Jun Yao looked at his cold and arrogant back and laughed out loud, "Xie Xuan, don't even think about using me to tell her. I will definitely make you feel the pain of being ignored."
Xie Xuan's figure quickly disappeared from her sight, and Jun Yao slid down to the ground weakly.
After Xie Xuan left, Qi Man walked into the private room, but was angrily scolded out by Jun Yao.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Qing Ning, who was wandering outside the door, was weighing in her mind whether to step over the threshold. When she heard the sound of a break from inside, she immediately followed Chu Zhao and his group without hesitation.
Miss, it’s a good thing you didn’t come.
Not everyone can become the matchmaker.
Qing Ning felt secretly relieved, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the two thousand gold coins that were wasted.
Just as her thoughts were racing, Xie Xuan suddenly turned around and asked her softly, "Where's your young lady?"
Qing Ning didn't dare to say that he had hidden away, so he replied, "I went to the mountain to supervise the work."
Could it be that General Xie wanted her young lady not to entertain Miss Jun in the future?
When Qing Ning was guessing all sorts of things in her mind, she saw Xie Xuan just nodded slightly and turned away.
She wiped the unnecessary sweat from her head and asked, "Why do I feel so cold even in the middle of the day?"
This time, Qing Ning didn't dare to spread the news outside. The two of them looked like they had broken off the talks, so she didn't dare to gossip.
Fortunately, Miss Jun came this time wearing a hood and appeared low-key, and did not book the entire floor.
Qing Ning secretly decided to keep the secret and not let any of the matter leak out.
…
On the other side, Su Shengsheng was holding a small, furry chick and looked at Ning Jie: "If I send it up, will you really listen to me?"
They had just finished roller skating, but Ning Jie was incredibly stubborn and refused to cooperate with her. Su Shengsheng had wanted to take him to the woods, find a chance to scare him, and check if there was anything wrong with his vocal organs.
But unexpectedly, a fat little bird that had accidentally fallen from the bird's nest was found on the ground.
This little fat bird has a round head, a small mouth, and a round body. It is very cute.
Its head and front are white, its back is gray, its wings are a little grape purple, and with the flame-colored beak and black claws, it looks like a five-colored glutinous rice dumpling.
Su Shengsheng touched it lovingly, and when Ning Jie nodded, she smiled, "Humph, today I will make you convinced."
She is not the kind of pampered young lady. In her previous life, she dared to climb rocks with her bare hands, so she would naturally not be defeated by a small tree.
Su Shengsheng held the little fat girl tightly in one hand, lifted the hem of her clothes and tied it with the other hand, then climbed up the tree trunk with one hand.
The tree was only five or six meters high, and it took her only a moment to climb to the level of the bird's nest.
But when she proudly lifted the little fat bird towards the bird's nest, she was horrified to find that there was a big green snake coiled inside!
The pair of sinister snake eyes were staring at her, and Su Shengsheng couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.
This is no longer the city where even pigeons are hard to come by. She has been living in comfort for too long.
This colorful snake was obviously poisonous. Ning Jie couldn't speak, so even if he ran to find someone, it would be too late to save her.
Su Shengsheng, hanging on the tree branch, was shaking with fear. She forced herself to remain calm and shouted to Ning Jie, "Ning Jie! There's a poisonous snake here! Get out of the way! I'm going to jump down!"
Before she could finish her words, as soon as she moved, the snake suddenly jumped up!
"Ah!" Su Shengsheng screamed. She originally wanted to scare Ning Jie, but at this moment she truly felt the fear of "the wolf is coming".
whoosh
An unstoppable arrow nailed the leaping snake firmly to the tree trunk, and its tail feathers were still trembling.
But Su Shengsheng's screams did not stop, and she stumbled all the way down from the tree.
Xie Xuan leaped forward on his horse and caught the falling Su Shengsheng in time, then spurred his horse and galloped away.
