She's a lady from a noble family, but she's so vicious. She can't stand others having good fortune just because her own face is ruined.
However, his coming tonight gave me an excuse to find Xie Yunche. Otherwise, he had not summoned me for so long.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Xie Yunche's attitude seemed different today. Could it be that he discovered some problems during the investigation?
That shouldn't be the case. It has been handled very well, there shouldn't be any problem.
What Shen Jiaojiao didn't know was that Xie Yunci had told him that if there is often no problem with something, that is the biggest problem, and everything cannot be perfect.
Xie Yunche also remembered this incident, so he became a little wary of Shen Jiaojiao, but not much.
In his mind, there was no problem with Shen Jiaojiao's identity. He had rescued her from the refugees with his own hands.
However, his identity is different now, so he has to be wary of people around him to avoid giving anyone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of him.
…
Chen Li arrived at the dock early the next morning, ready to take a boat to Suzhou. As for Pei Yu's luxury ship here, there was no need to waste manpower and resources by herself.
At the entrance of Lushan Academy, Su Zhihui sat in a carriage, watching the students coming out of the academy with her eyes fixed on them.
She also knew that her actions were somewhat inappropriate, but Ali was right. She had to fight for it and not regret it later.
It's just that it's a bit too deliberate here. "Hurry up and go to the alley ahead."
"Yes, miss."
That was the only way for Shen Qi'an to go home after school, so he didn't wait at the entrance of the academy.
Sitting in the carriage, clutching her handkerchief nervously, she wondered what impression Ali's fourth brother had of her.
I thought about it in my mind. It seems that I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary when I went to Shen’s house before. It was just that when I was alone with Ali, I was not as dignified as I was in public. It should be fine!
“Miss, Fourth Young Master Shen is here.”
Dong Shuang didn't know why her mistress came to see Shen Qi'an. If she knew, she, a maid, would be unable to do anything to her master.
Su Zhihui hurriedly touched her hair and found that it was not messy. Then she straightened her clothes and listened beside the car curtain, waiting for Dong Shuang and Shen Qian'an to talk.
“Fourth Young Master Shen.”
Shen Qi'an stood still with his hands behind his back, obviously recognizing Dong Shuang. "Miss Dong Shuang, what do you want from me?"
Dong Shuang shook her head, "Master Shen Si, it's not me who's looking for you, it's my young lady who's looking for you. Please come into the carriage and have a chat."
Shen Qi'an glanced at the alley. There were not many pedestrians and it was quite quiet. However, the carriage was closed, and a man and a woman were alone, which might ruin Miss Su's reputation.
Going home would be even more inappropriate. Thinking about the teahouse not far away, he said, "This is not a good place to talk. There is a teahouse in front. I'll go get a private room. You guys can come over later."
Su Zhihui stretched out her fingers and gently scratched the car wall twice. Dong Shuang understood and said, "Okay."
Su Zhihui's cheeks flushed slightly. After he reminded her, she realized that what she had done today was indeed too reckless.
Scholars value their reputation the most, especially those who want to take the imperial examination. If she tarnishes Shen Qi'an's reputation, she will be blamed for it.
Shen Qi'an went ahead for a quarter of an hour. Su Zhihui slowly walked over, thinking that he had already been sitting in the teahouse for a while.
Chen Li was riding in a carriage heading towards Chen Qi'an's residence. When he was almost there, he passed by another carriage and frowned slightly.
It was not that he recognized the carriage, he just saw a familiar person, and the guards following him seemed to be from Ah Hui.
She didn't rashly use her mental power to investigate. Everyone has privacy, and she didn't have that much free time.
I lifted the curtain and looked back. The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse. It was indeed Su Zhihui.
He must have come out to take care of personal matters. Thinking of this, Chen Li stopped paying attention.
Su Zhihui came to the tea room, where Shen Qi'an was sitting, making tea. His movements were smooth and graceful, and his face was very pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Su, please." He poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it over, then took a sip from one himself. "Miss Su, what can I do for you today?"
There was no one else in the private room. Her personal maid was guarding outside. Su Zhihui paused slightly in holding the teacup, a blush appeared at the base of her ears, but her face remained calm.
"Nothing, I just came to see my brother today. When I saw you, I remembered that I had something to tell you, so I was waiting for you there."
Shen Qi'an was a smart man and he could tell that his words were inconsistent. Moreover, he had just talked with Su Heng when he left Lushan Academy and learned that Su Heng would be living in the academy during this period.
Judging from what Miss Su said, she probably hasn't met his brother yet.
While Su Zi lowered her head to drink tea, Shen Qi'an looked at her several times without any expression. The girl had delicate makeup today and her clothes were not as dignified and elegant as usual. Instead, she had some lively girlish look.
When he looked away, he inadvertently saw her slightly red earlobe. Thinking of his somewhat awkward behavior today, an idea came to his mind.
"Then what does Miss Su want from me?"
Su Zhihui clenched her left hand in her sleeve. She embroidered a purse overnight. She didn't have the face to say those explicit words, so she could only be tactful.
When he looked up, he met Shen Qian'an's deep eyes, and completely forgot what he had prepared. "I, I..."
Shen Qi'an poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Miss Su, don't be anxious. Talk slowly."
Seeing his gentle behavior, an absurd thought suddenly arose in my mind: Is he so gentle to others as well?
She had never seen Shen Qi'an with other girls, only A Li and herself, so she felt a little uneasy, but she still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Shen Qi'an, what kind of girl do you like?"
The corners of Shen Qi'an's mouth curled up slightly, and he answered her question seriously, "Lively and cheerful."
Su Zhihui was shocked. Does that mean there is no hope for her, a dignified lady from a noble family?
If Chen Li knew what she was thinking, she would definitely shake her shoulders and ask her, can you have a clearer understanding of yourself?
"Why does Miss Su ask this?"
"Oh, my eldest brother said he wants to introduce you to a girl."
Su Zhihui was distracted, with a conflict between her conscience and her conscience in her mind. She was stunned when she said this and subconsciously held her breath. When she came to her senses, their eyes met and her little face flushed red.
Shen Qi'an was obviously stunned. Introducing girls? This wasn't something a girl like her should say, and her demeanor didn't seem to match what she was saying.
