Chapter 54 We are truly in tune with each other
"That's good. Once the case is investigated, I'll send someone to inform you of the Xie family's fate. It shouldn't be long."
As for letting Yu Heming give Xie Weisong a few trials in the Imperial College before the case was fully investigated, it would not be a problem at all.
"Okay." Shi Jianli looked at him, hesitating for a long time, and finally handed him the gold and jade cuffs she was holding between her sleeves. "This is a thank you gift, not a token of respect."
She remembered that Mingzhao also had a suit of similar color. This cuff replaced the gold and jade armbands, which would be lighter. It should be a matching set, and the material used was also the fine fabric given by Princess Kangning.
Mingzhao was surprised that she would take the initiative to give him something.
He took it in a good mood, bent down and looked into her eyes seriously, and smiled brightly at her: "I like it very much. Did you embroider it?"
The last time she handed her a Supa, he hesitated. He was almost afraid that she would change her mind and not want to give it to her anymore, so he just took it and left.
"Yeah." His gaze on her was filled with obvious joy, losing his usual obscurity and restraint, which made Shi Jianli feel a little uncomfortable. She retracted her hand into her sleeve and looked away, "I'm going to the private school."
After she finished speaking, she stepped back from the area covered by his figure, walked around him and went to the private school in the front yard of the East Palace.
"Okay." Seeing her back, which was unusually flustered, Mingzhao chuckled, lowered his head to look at the cuffs in his hand, curled his lips and left the house. Only when he arrived at the palace did he reluctantly give them to Tianfeng for safekeeping.
Tianfeng: “…”
Look at the things that adults treasure, and they are reluctant to let go when they give them to them.
"By the way, let the spy do something." After taking two steps, Mingzhao turned around and called Tianfeng. The smile in his eyes turned cold, and he whispered a few words in his ear.
Before the scientific expedition case was settled, Xie Weisong lived a very comfortable life.
Tian Feng's eyes widened, "Yes, sir."
After finishing the chess and tea art classes, Shi Jianli did not take a nap after lunch, but went to the kitchen to make pastries.
After making the pastries, she went back to the yard to change her clothes, and then lay down on the small couch to take a nap for a while, asking Lanxing and Xianyue to remind her when it was the afternoon.
After being woken up by Lanxing, Shi Jianli tidied up her appearance and went to the corridor where she met Mingzhao every morning.
She stood in the corridor and looked into the garden through the window. Many spring flowers in the garden had withered, but the summer flowers were now flourishing.
The sunlight in the early summer afternoon was quite strong, making the corridor a little stuffy.
After waiting for half an hour, Mingzhao finally returned with Tianfeng and Tianyu. He was wearing a colorful blue riding uniform that highlighted his lean and powerful figure. When he saw her, his pace quickened as he walked towards her.
Seeing her come towards him after seeing him, as if she was waiting for him specially, Mingzhao, who was already in a good mood today, felt even happier.
"Are you waiting for me?" Mingzhao raised his hand and signaled Tianfeng and Tianyu to stop.
"Yes, I'm waiting for you." Shi Jianli nodded, "Can I trouble my cousin for something?"
"Tell me? I will definitely help you." Mingzhao leaned over and met her eyes, with a smile in his eyes.
Sometimes her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She couldn't remember when it started, but he always bent down when talking to her.
Besides, she hasn't said what it is yet.
Shi Jianli blinked and calmed herself down. "Can someone report the matter of Xie Weisong and Xie Xuezhi to the Left Censor-in-Chief and Madam Xie?"
Xie Xuezhi is indeed pitiful, but also hateful. Can pity be used as a reason to harm her?
She didn't retaliate because she didn't want to become one of the same people as Xie Xuezhi who casually tarnished other people's reputations, and also because of the special circumstances she couldn't do anything else, but she has never been one to repay evil with kindness.
She looked directly at Ming Zhaohuan, "Even if Xie Xuezhi didn't succeed, it's true that she wanted to harm me. It just so happened that I saw through her plan and didn't fall for it. I don't have the generosity to sympathize with and pity someone who was trying to scheme against me."
"Xie Weisong is the beneficiary, and he is even more hateful."
If the affair between them were to be exposed, Mrs. Xie's mother's family was of high social status, and she was Xie Weisong's nominal mother, so Xie Weisong would not have an easy time either.
"Son and daughter are mixed together. Even if it's the son who forces it, the Left Censor-in-Chief will definitely favor the son." Shi Jianli hid her sarcasm. "No matter what, Xie Weisong dared not reveal the fact that he is not the biological child."
"Wait until the Left Censor-in-Chief has shown partiality towards his son, and then in two days, reveal that Xie Weisong is not his son."
After the couple separated, they found out that the eldest son they had carefully raised was not their biological son, and the second son was even more like mud than the eldest son. Would the Left Censor-in-Chief be furious?
The Left Censor-in-Chief was angry, and Xie Weisong was in trouble.
After much thought, she decided to ask Ming Zhaohuan for help, because the people Ming Zhaohuan sent might still be in Xie Mansion, which would be more convenient.
Mingzhao finished listening and suddenly smiled, "We really are in sync."
"Huh?" Shi Jianli was puzzled, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
The look he gave her was filled with admiration and a smile, as well as tenderness and approval that was not difficult to detect.
"I had someone do it this morning before court. You and I think exactly the same. I also think they were living too comfortably before the house was raided."
Even though Xie Lingdong was angry and drove Xie Weisong out of the Xie family, Xie Weisong was still guilty because he used the questions for the Spring Examination that Xie Lingdong bought.
What's more, Xie Lingdong is vindictive, and kicking him out of the Xie family is too light a punishment.
Shi Jianli was slightly startled.
Mingzhao stood up straight and said, "As I said before, I'll tell you when there's news."
Shi Jianli turned around and took the food box from Xianyueti, and handed it to Mingzhaohuan with both hands, "Eight Treasures Cake, just to express my gratitude."
"Did you do this?" Mingzhao took it and lowered his eyes to look at her slender and smooth fingers.
"Um."
"Just let the kitchen do it next time. Don't work too hard. I like everything you give me." He clenched the handle of the lunch box with his fingers, his eyes smiling.
Shi Jianli curled her fingers together, her heartbeat seemed to have its own thoughts, out of control. Her mind became a little hazy, and after a pause, she opened her mouth: "Do it once in a while, it's not tiring."
This is no different from speaking openly.
Xianyue looked at Mingzhaohuan in surprise. After turning around to look at her girl's expression, she lowered her head, looking at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.
She was really not used to this kind of atmosphere. Shi Jianli avoided his gaze and said, "I'm going back to catch up on some sleep this afternoon."
After she finished speaking, she left quickly with Xianyue, leaving only the crisp sound of the jade rings colliding lingering in the wind.
Mingzhao watched her disappear around the corner with a smile, and waved to Tianfeng and Tianyu to follow.
Tian Feng asked, "Sir, would you like me to help you carry it?"
Tianyu looked at a guy who was not very polite.
"No need." Mingzhao stopped smiling and glanced at him.
After entering the house, Xianyue saw Li untiing her hair and asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you interested in the prince?"
Shi Jianli was silent for a moment, then replied softly: "Before he explicitly said it, there was nothing between us. I just... suddenly wanted to give it a try."
At least that's the case for now.
She was also a little nervous, as this was completely different from her original plan. But Mingzhao was still a good choice. Putting aside the love, from the perspective of power, he could protect her.
Xianyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "If I'm not mistaken, the prince seems to have the same intention towards you."
"Don't tell anyone." She had noticed it before.
"I know."
After taking off her outer clothes, shoes and socks, Shi Jianli lay on the bed, tossing and turning in her arms under the quilt for a while before falling asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dusk.
