Chapter 118 Ambiguous Relationship
Madam Xiao patted her hand comfortingly, then looked at her grandson and said, "You are here too?"
Xu Shuyao stepped aside and called out, "Master!"
Everything seems to be the same as usual.
The other person hummed, sat down below the old lady, and asked casually, "What were you talking about just now? Why didn't you say anything since I came?"
Madam Xiao said unhappily, “Talk about your second sister and the Li family!”
Then, like Xiao Jinyun, he looked at Chang Sun's face carefully and asked, "Are you getting angry?"
Xu Shuyao took a look and saw a blood scab on her lip, but she remained silent.
Xiao Mo looked at her and said lightly: "Maybe!"
The old lady asked the maid to bring the cooked mung bean soup.
Then Madam Xiao asked about the deputy commander surnamed Luo, "What's the current situation of the Luo family? Why didn't they ask for a matchmaker to propose marriage? You introduced the person, so what do you say?"
Xu Shuyao also looked up at the person opposite her.
Xiao Mo smiled, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the young lady, "My grandson doesn't know, maybe he was distracted by other things..."
Xu Shuyao suddenly didn't want to listen anymore, so she stood up and said goodbye to Madam Xiao.
When she got outside and wanted to go back to Jiyunzhai, she was stopped by the two guards. "Cousin, please wait for our master!"
Xu Shuyao turned around and walked towards Songhe Hall, but saw that the other party had already come out.
Being attacked from both sides, she couldn't escape and was also aroused by her anger. "What's the matter, my lord? Why don't you say it here?"
Now, if you look up, you can see the maid opening the curtain in Songhe Hall.
Xiao Mo lowered his head, "Be obedient! Do you want everyone to hear it?"
He added, "There are too many people here, I'll come find you tonight!"
Xu Shuyao got up and walked away.
Qiaowei already knew it, and her face was just a little pale at this moment, but Huixiang had a look of horror on her face.
The little maid looked at her master for a while, then looked at Qiao Wei beside her.
Xu Shuyao didn't want to pay attention to her. Qiao Wei looked at her, and the girl lowered her head and walked away again.
Because of Xiao Mo's words, Xu Shuyao was absent-minded during dinner.
At night, after Nanny Zheng fell asleep, the two maids looked ready for action.
Xu Shuyao sighed, "You guys should just go and rest! Whether he comes or not, you can't stop him by yourself, so why bother to endure it?"
After her persuasion, the two of them went to the ear room with worried looks on their faces.
Xu Shuyao was lying on the bed with her clothes on, thinking that the other party would knock on the window like last night.
As a result, she just turned around and saw Xiao Mo sitting in front of the bed.
Very good!
He actually walked right into the house!
Xu Shuyao looked at the other person: "What's the matter? Please speak up, my lord!"
Xiao Mo looked at the girl who had behaved so well in front of him before. She was now lying on the bed with her clothes on, as if she was not afraid at all of the intrusion of a stranger like him.
He frowned for a moment, "What about your rules? Talking to me while lying like this?"
Xu Shuyao replied, "Since the gate of this small Jiyunzhai can't stop the prince, why should I bother with it?"
As she spoke, she sat up and looked at the other person calmly: "So, the prince came here late at night to sleep in this bed?"
At first, Xiao Mo looked at the other person with sharp eyes, but suddenly, he smiled as if he was lost, but lowered his head and slowly took off his shoes.
Xu Shuyao jumped up immediately upon seeing this: "You...you go away?"
Then her arms were pressed down, and Xiao Mo quickly pulled her into his arms. He buried his head in the young lady's neck and whispered, "Be good, I won't touch you!"
Xu Shuyao really stopped struggling, but her body kept shaking.
The man seemed to reach out and stroke the young lady's back, "If anyone proposes to you again, just reject them all!"
Xu Shuyao didn't say anything. She felt the other person's breath brushing past her ears, and her heart suddenly felt cold.
Xiao Mo held her quietly for a while, and when he left, he said, "If Concubine Shen causes you trouble again, go find my guards."
Xu Shuyao didn't respond until she heard the man turn over and get out of bed. After a while, the bedroom returned to its original silence.
After the other party left, Qiaowei and Huixiang also came out of the ear room. They were obviously awakened by the noise just now, or they had not fallen asleep at all.
Xu Shuyao turned around and said, "Go to sleep!"
Her mind was in a mess because of this person she had suddenly offended.
She couldn't tell her aunt, or even Mrs. Xiao.
Although Xiao Mo is not doing anything at the moment, who knows what he will do next?
She couldn't stop it.
The result of making this matter public was nothing more than being taken into his backyard.
Xu Shuyao could not accept the thought of the days when she might be controlled by the mistress.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the jade pendant in her arms. It would be great if she could find her biological parents.
Will they still remember her just based on this jade pendant?
My mother once said that her background was not simple.
In that case, there shouldn't be any problem for my brother to go to school, right?
However, before her father died, he had told her to be careful when looking for her relatives to avoid being plotted against. Xu Shuyao became worried again.
Finally she fell into a deep sleep.
Wuming watched his master enter Jiyunzhai and then walk out a short while later. He hurriedly followed him and heard him instruct, "Find someone to keep an eye on her, whether she's out of the mansion or in here."
The prince looked solemn as he spoke. This was the first time he had made it so clear that he wanted to protect that cousin.
As for how the prince would eventually settle the family, Wuming did not ask, and it was not his place to ask.
Xu Shuyao dreamed all night, and after waking up, the voice calling Taotao was still echoing in her head.
Seeing her stunned on the bed, Qiao Wei thought her master was worried about the prince breaking into Jiyunzhai at night, so she didn't call her.
Xu Shuyao twisted the jade pendant in her hand and suddenly remembered what the Duke had said, "It looks familiar."
She was shocked when she heard it.
That was the first time Xu Shuyao met the Duke, so she didn't want to take the opportunity to ask anything.
What's more, she was able to live in the mansion because of her aunt's relationship. If they found out that even this relationship no longer existed, her situation would inevitably be very embarrassing.
I heard that the Duke and the third young master will be returning to the border soon.
The people the Duke interacts with most on a daily basis are soldiers and generals. Does this mean that his father and brother are also among those soldiers and generals?
It’s a pity that Xu Shuyao rarely sees the other person on weekdays.
Otherwise, she would just walk in front of that person again, and maybe he would tell her who she looked like.
Xu Shuyao suddenly thought of the third young master. Maybe he had seen him before?
So next time we meet, shouldn't we just stop hiding?
