Chapter 420 Boomerang
When giving someone a gift, you have to choose it according to the other person's taste. Xu Shujian actually chose this hairpin himself, and it took him many days to choose.
Liuyun once said that he would go and choose, but Xu Shujian didn't let him.
Liuyun didn't know whether the young master disliked his aesthetic taste or didn't want the gift he gave to the second young lady to have been in the hands of someone else.
It was because Xu Shujian had personally selected it and thought about it in advance, so he was sure that Qiao Wanyan would like it and would definitely think that the hairpin was suitable for today's outfit and let her wear it.
Because he picked many colors in a row, she could choose which hairpin to wear according to the color of clothes she wore today.
Every woman likes beauty, and the Second Miss is the most so!
How come we meet by chance today when I am on holiday? How can there be so many coincidences in the world?
It's just a matter of time and effort.
Xu Shujian had a harmless and elegant face, and his smile was like the spring breeze in March, bringing with it countless warmth.
At this moment, he was looking at her with a clear and sincere expression, and the scene was as beautiful as a painting.
"The Second Miss is beautiful. Although this hairpin is beautiful, it can only show its beauty to the fullest when it is worn on the Second Miss's head."
Qiao Wanyan was a person who could not help but be praised. She raised the corner of her mouth and gently stroked her temples, "Although what you said is true, there is no need to talk about things that everyone knows all the time."
The little fox in her arms seemed to understand and looked up at her. Seeing that she was also looking at him, he immediately squinted his eyes and rubbed against her to act good.
How dare it show its ferocious side like it does to other people? Although it is a small animal, it also has a brain!
The man who supported him before and the woman who is holding him now are both people who cannot be offended.
Easy to be drawn.
That's no joke.
A hint of smile flashed in Xu Shujian's eyes, "Second Miss's lesson is correct. I'll remember it."
Qiao Wanyan: "Although it's not good to bring it up all the time, but I can't control other people's mouths. If you really can't help but say a few words, it's okay."
Xu Shujian chuckled, and immediately retracted his smile when he saw her looking at him, "Yes, whatever the Second Miss says is right."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly added, "Second Miss, don't move. Your hair is a little messy. Let me help you fix it."
As expected, Qiao Wanyan did not move at all. She lowered her head slightly and waited for him to help her fix her hair.
Qiao Wanyan's hair wasn't too messy, but Xu Shujian's movements were slow, as if he was deliberately wasting time. He Zhiyu, who had been enduring in the distance, finally couldn't help it and walked towards this side.
"presumptuous!"
He Zhiyu stood in the twilight, the shadow cast by his brow obscured the coldness deep in his eyes, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Xu Shujian immediately withdrew his hand, stepped back and stood still, leaning forward slightly and politely saying, "Your humble servant greets the Second Prince."
Qiao Wanyan looked behind her and heard Xu Shujian's words before she saw anyone, and she knew who was coming.
She stood up holding the little fox and leaned forward slightly, "Your servant greets the Second Prince."
He Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "Dayou's separation of men and women is not strict, but you are a single man and a single woman, and you ignore the woman's reputation so much. If others see it, won't she be plagued by rumors?!"
He Zhiyu's tone was very serious, the kind of gloom that even Qiao Wanyan was a little surprised.
For many days, Qiao Wanyan was obviously cold and avoided him. Knowing that her love poison had been cured, she was still close to He Yanli. When Qiao Chuxue sent her over, she didn't even smile at him.
She had such a clear boundary with herself, but even a lowly person like Xu Shujian could talk and meet with her on a close basis, and even things like putting on a hairpin for her and combing her hair were allowed to happen.
The huge gap and incomprehension tormented him for many days. Why did he suddenly become so cold to him? !
Xu Shujian did not look at Qiao Wanyan, but just confessed his guilt obediently, "Your Highness is teaching me that it is my fault, it is my negligence, please forgive me."
He Zhiyu: "You are quite decisive."
Xu Shujian said meekly, "I was careless and carried away by my pride. The Second Miss is my savior and the daughter of my mentor. I should have respected her and should not have been so disrespectful. The Second Prince is..."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Zhiyu's face became even gloomier.
Qiao Wanyan was the savior of Xu Shujian and the daughter of his mentor.
The relationship is very close, and all the elders in the family know about their relationship.
But I am nothing.
It’s just the relationship between a prince and an official’s wife.
Xu Shujian's casual words were meant to pierce He Zhiyu's heart.
He is best at observing people's hearts and making others angry.
Otherwise, Shen Che wouldn't have gotten so angry when he saw him.
He Zhiyu said with a sinister look: "I see that you don't want to live anymore."
Xu Shujian immediately knelt down and said in panic, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I hope Your Highness will let me die with understanding. After all, what I did just now is not punishable by death."
He added, "Second Miss saved my life, which is a great favor. I cannot take my life lightly and die in confusion."
He Zhiyu had no idea what Minister Qiao meant, but Xu Shujian was definitely not a simple-minded person!
Relying on his harmless appearance and excellent painting skills, Wan Yan took a special liking to him and gave him the most precious treasure of her calligraphy shop.
Wan Yan came here today and he happened to be here too. Could it be a coincidence?
It's definitely a very scheming person!
He Zhiyu: "You know exactly what you mean by showing off your favor to others. Wanyan is a noble lady in the capital, and the husband she will marry in the future will definitely not be a man of low status who wants to climb up the social ladder."
"It is not manly to try to take shortcuts when the road in officialdom is not smooth."
Xu Shujian was puzzled. "I don't understand what Your Highness means. Isn't it right for me to remember the Second Miss's kindness?"
When he said this, he looked very confused, as if he really didn't understand why He Zhiyu had been so aggressive about this matter.
Xu Shujian finally set his gaze on Qiao Wanyan next to him, his eyes reddened as if he was anxious to explain himself.
As if smudged with rouge, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist and her voice trembled slightly: "Second Miss, I am not showing off my kindness to everyone. I know clearly in my heart that Second Miss has been very kind to me and I have never known how to repay her, so I have been anxious and wasted my time. How could I show off my kindness to everyone and cause trouble for Second Miss?"
He tried to calm his tone and took a deep breath, his lips trembling slightly: "Second Miss, please understand and don't misunderstand me as a treacherous person."
Qiao Wanyan was silent for a long time, "I believe you."
These three short words made Xu Shujian feel proud and made He Zhiyu a laughing stock.
