Chapter 9: Secrets among the Closet

These words were said in an innocent, lively, cute and straightforward manner, which made Shen Xuehan so amused that she had to cover her mouth with her hands to avoid appearing rude.

My brother is already stiff and boring. If there is such a lovely girl around him, even an iceberg will melt, right?

The room had paper-walled windows, and the carved railings and painted buildings faced the spring light, making it very bright.

Shen Xuehan smiled and took a sip of tea. It tasted refreshing and had a long aftertaste. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What kind of tea is this? It tastes so special?!"

"Do you like it? I'll ask Duhuo to make some for you to take home!" Yun Ju'an waved his hand, and Duhuo went downstairs to prepare it. "This tea is the Snow Lotus Silver Needle that Grandpa brought me. It tastes a bit bitter. I can't taste anything good about it. I think it's not as good as Mingqian Cui."

Mingqiancui is a common tea in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. After brewing, it will be suspended in the tea soup and gradually sink, revealing its tea color and presenting a particularly bitter tea fragrance. However, it has no astringent taste when you drink it, and it is fragrant in bitterness. Yun Zhuan fell in love with it after accidentally tasting it.

Shen Xuehan was not polite either: "It's rare to find a tea that I like, so I'll take it back. Qingwen, help Duhuo get it, so that Miss Yun can't find any evidence against me and say that I only eat and drink and don't do anything!"

"Haha, sister, you are joking, right? I do have a question. Which pavilion is this? The one on West Mountain?" When Yun Ju'an mentioned West Mountain, he was trembling slightly. He must have been left with a stereotyped fear in his body.

Shen Xuehan shook her head: "It's from Changqing Lake, but wasn't that piece of land bought by Yue'an? She said she would hold a spring banquet to get rid of the bad luck for you!"

Changqing Lake covers a large area and is close to the outskirts of Beijing, so there are few people there. There are also many private houses with nine-turn corridors. I guess Su Yue Temple was bought along with that area.

Generally, when young ladies from wealthy families hold spring banquets, they usually have certain rules and regulations.

Flying flowers, writing poems, and painting are not that simple. There may be some elders following. It is not like those rich young ladies and gentlemen. If they get hurt or make mistakes, they won’t be able to explain themselves.

Yue'an's real name is Su Yue'an, the granddaughter of Su's family's tutor. She is about the same age as Shen Xuehan. Although she comes from a scholarly family, she follows the eldest master of the Yun family to practice martial arts in a private martial arts training ground. In this circle of friends, Yun Zhuan is the youngest.

She is also a talented woman in Beijing, but she is aloof and difficult to approach.

Yun Zhuan didn't think that he had any good personal relationship with her, he just thought that she invited her to go with her for Shen Xuehan's sake.

"That place is so beautiful. She even kept the snow from last year's plum blossoms and said she wanted to make tea for us. You have to show some respect. No matter how bad it tastes, you have to praise it!" Shen Xuehan looked outside and saw that it was getting late. "It's getting dark, so I'll leave first. The fifth day of May is a good day for boating!"

Yun Zhuan smiled and agreed: "Lu'e, go see Miss Shen off!"

It's the fifth of May, but there are still several months left. Why tell her so early?

Yun Zhuan heaved a sigh of relief only after the people had gone far away. His sick body was a little tired from sitting for too long.

There are words hanging on the wall. It is the calligraphy that Wu'an Hou is most satisfied with. He gave it to Yunju'an Zhen Pavilion for use. After all, Wu'an Hou is a man who has been on the battlefield and has a murderous spirit. The words he wrote are also vigorous and powerful, with the momentum of breaking through the enemy's formation.

Of course, I also feel sorry for my granddaughter.

Yun Shu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he heard another person's breathing and opened his eyes subconsciously.

It was Lu Zhe, who came into the room with a chill on his body, and stayed far away from her bed, as if he was afraid that the air-conditioning would make her feel worse.

The beautiful sleeping face in front of him, with hazy eyes, made Lu Zhe move his throat consciously in the shadow.

Then he shifted his gaze to the calligraphy hanging next to him and whispered:

"Leaves return to their roots?"

"You belong to me?" Yun Ju'an muttered with his mind empty.

After realizing what he had said, his cheeks turned slightly red and he silently buried his head in the quilt.

Want to cover up the truth and conceal what happened.

Speaking without thinking can hurt others. What are you saying?

Lu Ze felt a little amused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't bother to pull the little girl out of the quilt at this moment, and just sat at the end of the bed:

"How are you, feeling better?"

Don't ask her. Don't ask her.

Please.

Will it shorten her life if the powerful official of the future talks to her like this and cares so much about her?

Yun Zhuan said nothing, his face flushed red under the quilt, and after a while he whispered:

"I'm fine!"

I just regret that there is no Spring Festival Gala tomorrow, otherwise I could have gotten out of bed long ago!

Lu Zhen looked at Yun Zhuan, who was like a little kitten, hiding in the dark under the quilt and observing him. His heart seemed to be gently pricked by a feather:

"Who came to see you today?"

"Miss Shen Xuehan from the second branch of the Shen family invited me to the pavilion in the center of the lake to enjoy the spring!" Yun Zhuan excitedly poked his head out from under the quilt.

His aho-hair was fluttering, and his whole body seemed to be glowing.

Alarm bells suddenly rang in Lu Ze's heart. The eldest branch of the Shen family looked down on her, but what about the second branch?

The wife of the second master of the Shen family was said to be both talented and beautiful when she was young, and many men pursued her. Later, she was married to the second master Shen, and gave birth to a daughter who was elegant and beautiful. What's even more beautiful than her is that she has a brother named Xueyan, who is the number one talent in the capital.

His face was as white as jade and as gentle as spring rain. He had also seen him with his own eyes. He was indeed a rare young man in the world.

How can I compare with Shen Xueyan when I look so ferocious and evil?

The air was frozen for a long time. Yun Zhuan was a little confused. He didn't know what Lu Zhe was thinking. His whole face was in the shadow and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But the occasional glance at her seemed as if he wanted to eat her.

"elder brother?"

The candlelight flickered, and Yun Ju'an's soft call seemed to scald Lu Zhe.

Lu Ze responded quickly: "In that case, I will go with you."

Yun Zhuan was a little surprised, but Lu Ze didn't want to say more. He turned around and left as if escaping.

Lu Ze was so confused along the way that he had no time to think about anything else.

"Lu Zhe." Wu'an Hou shouted.

There was no emotion in the voice.

Luo Yong continued to serve Marquis Wu'an as usual.

The Marquis stayed in the palace for two days, feeling cold all over, and returned home in the middle of the night. He wanted to come and visit the young lady, but he saw Lu Zhe coming out of Jinge.

"Hello, Lord Marquis." As usual, Lu Ze stopped to salute and immediately hid the expression on his face, not revealing any clues.

Wu Anhou's eyes were complicated. He opened his mouth to say something, but stopped and said:

"If you have this much time, you might as well focus more on your studies. Don't wait until you are 15 or 16 years old and still have accomplished nothing."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Lu Zhe felt something was strange. It was strange that the Marquis of Wu'an did not say much when he knew he had been to Jinge.

Luo Yong followed the Marquis in surprise:

"You are leaving, why don't you ask Master Lu to take better care of Miss in the mansion?"

Oh oh oh, thank you Tuyu, Sutang Miao, and Qianqian Xiaoping for your votes. Please collect and reward me. I love you all oh oh oh, thank you very much. Your support is my greatest motivation. I love you all~
