The Minister of Justice smiled, quite proudly, "So what? My niece is so charming, I'm proud!"
His niece is popular with both men and women. Back then, he pursued her mother for a long time but couldn't win her over. Now, his niece has done nothing and so many people like her. She's much better than him!
Lei Nianren was speechless and quickly got up and left.
The Minister of Justice was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after them with a group of people, calling out, "Young Master Lei! Don't go!"
He also wanted to hear about his niece's silly love life!
Why did they all leave?
A group of people left the stall, leaving only two or three people who were actually stopping by for a rest and some tea. The stall owner scratched the back of his head in puzzlement, then went to each table to collect the coins they had left behind.
Those two or three people who were taking a break and drinking tea were also puzzled. Why did the once bustling stall suddenly become empty?
Chuanwen and the others stayed at Tianxin Tower until mid-afternoon before returning. Just as they stepped out of Tianxin Tower, Ren Xia chased after them from inside and gave Wenxue a box of exquisite pastries.
"Your favorite mung bean cake."
Wenxue happily accepted the food box. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the capital?"
"I just arrived and settled in. I haven't had a chance to come find you yet."
Ren Xia has big eyes, a high nose, and an oval face. She has a pretty and clean appearance, and is much more pleasing to the eye than Zhou Shuqin. In particular, she has two shallow dimples when she smiles, giving her a sweet girl look.
After exchanging a few words, Ren Xia was called to the kitchen.
Since they were both in the capital and had met again today, the two were not in a hurry to catch up.
On the way back, Wenxue's mood brightened noticeably. She was happy because she still had a good friend!
She will never speak to that two-faced Zhou Shuqin again!
Chuanwen couldn't bear to tell her the truth, and in fact, he couldn't. He could only sigh inwardly, "If Wenxue knew one day that Ren Xia had liked her since childhood, had her portrait all over his house, and even fantasized about marrying her, I wonder how she would feel."
Wen Xue's smile froze on her face. Wait, what did she just hear?
She must be hallucinating! Haha! How could that be! Haha! She and Ren Xia are both women, how could Ren Xia possibly have romantic feelings for her?
Chuanwen's heartfelt words struck Wenxue like a thunderbolt, leaving her completely stunned and nearly causing her to drop the food box from her hands.
After returning to the Changxing Marquis's residence, Chuanwen delivered the large and small bags of pastries and sweets he had brought back to the old lady's courtyard. The old lady was overjoyed to receive them, thinking how filial her granddaughter was!
But looking at Wen Xue behind Chuan Wen, I wondered why Wen Xue looked so lifeless.
That night, Wenxue couldn't sleep.
She thought about it all night but still couldn't figure out why Zhou Shuqin was two-faced towards her, or why Ren Xia liked women, especially her.
The next day, when Chuanwen opened the door and saw Wenxue with huge dark circles under her eyes, he was startled. "You went clubbing last night?"
Chuan Wen asked in confusion.
Wenxue didn't know what clubbing was, but she roughly knew it wasn't a reliable thing to do, so she shook her head and said, "I just have insomnia."
"Oh, I thought you guards didn't need to sleep."
Chuanwen stepped out of the room and stretched. She always saw Wenxue flying on the roof to protect her; she'd always assumed Wenxue was like a security camera, constantly scanning and vigilant.
Wen Xue remained silent. She was human too, and of course, humans needed sleep. She just slept lightly to stay alert.
"Why don't you go take a nap? I'm not going out today."
Chuanwen still cares about people, but Wenxue shook her head. She was mainly upset and couldn't sleep.
As the two were talking, a maid came to report that Lord Su from next door had arrived and was waiting in the living room.
The neighbor, Lord Su, isn't that Er Gou?
Chuanwen sighed, but still went.
In the living room, Su Heng sat upright, his eyes dark and deep. He was originally a cunning fox, and after his experience in the small Liang Kingdom, he now looked somewhat like a powerful minister.
Chuanwen hid behind a pillar in the corridor, swooning over a guy, sighing as she did so, "Sigh, am I not charming enough?...Sigh, am I not charming enough?...Sigh...Sigh..."
Wen Xue:......
Upon hearing the voice, Su Heng stood up and, following the sound, precisely focused his gaze on Chuanwen, who was peeking out from behind a pillar, revealing a doting smile.
Chuanwen coughed lightly. "He's already smiling at me. Would it be impolite not to go over?"
Thinking it over, Chuanwen shamelessly walked over and asked, "What do you want?"
Her voice became strained, giving Su Heng goosebumps. He gently patted her head and said, "Speak properly."
Chuanwen's eyes lit up immediately.
Wow! Er Gou slapped me on the head! Is he completely infatuated with me?
Su Heng: ......
Wow! Er Gou talked to me! Is he so infatuated with me that he's talking nonsense?
Su Heng: ......
Distracted Wenxue: I'm so upset, my two best friends are actually fake!
"I need to go back to my hometown. I estimate I won't be back for ten days to half a month."
Su Heng decided to get straight to the point, but sent a message: 【Wow! Er Gou said such a long sentence to me, is he so infatuated with me that he gets lovesick if he doesn't talk to me?】
Su Heng laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm completely infatuated with you, I'm so infatuated with you that I can't even speak coherently, I'm so infatuated with you that I'll get lovesick if I don't talk to you."
