Chapter 179: Each with His Own Thoughts
After putting the person into the water, Xiao Mo asked again: "Do you still have strength? Not as good as me..."
Chen Shuyao was anxious and quickly grabbed the towel in front of her, saying angrily: "No need!"
She said and turned around.
But my body is as white as cream, my shoulders are as sharp as a knife, and my long hair is full of charming charm when it moves. How can it be hidden by turning my back?
Xiao Mo took a look and went to the other end to take a shower.
By the time they finished washing and lay down on the bed, it was already very late.
Chen Shuyao closed her eyes slightly, she was very tired.
After a long time, when she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard someone next to her ask, "What are you doing out of the house today?"
Shen Shuyao was silent for a few breaths before she reacted. "Inspecting the store," she said.
After he finished speaking, he could clearly feel the other person's eyes dim.
There was silence in the bedroom for a while, and then he asked, "Want to send a flower note?"
Shen Shuyao's drowsy mind suddenly became clear: "What did you say?"
Xiao Mo turned her body around, and they faced each other. "Don't sell it anymore, do you understand?"
He stared at her with a focused gaze and a rare serious expression on his face.
Shen Shuyao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that with Xiao Mo's identity, it would not be difficult to investigate her.
Both he and I are disciples of Lao Qian, so it is impossible for us not to see each other's painting style.
Xiao Mo was able to find out that the flower note came from her hand, so what about the erotic booklet from Huzhou?
Does he know that he painted it?
Chen Shuyao looked at the other person cautiously. The bedroom was already dark at night, but it made the other person's eyes look even deeper.
Her lips trembled, but she didn't dare to bring up the issue.
"Okay, then don't sell it." Chen Shuyao said finally.
As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Chengguo and the wife of the Crown Prince, it would not be a good thing if others found out that she was making money by painting flower paper.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Xiao Mo asked again after a while.
Chen Shuyao was currently worrying about the booklet, and was stunned when she suddenly heard his question.
She frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "What about you? What are you doing in the restaurant today? Inviting... an important friend?"
Shen Shuyao used a very elegant word.
At that time, she saw the beautiful and graceful woman who was escorting them without a shadow. She kept looking at them and seemed to have forgotten even to walk.
Wuying is Xiao Mo's bodyguard. Who does he obey?
Who are you working for again?
This is not difficult to imagine.
Concubine, or confidante?
Or maybe it was someone you had a crush on before?
This person disappeared for the whole night yesterday, was it because of her?
Shen Shuyao shook her head, not knowing what to feel.
It cannot be said that she was not angry at all, after all, she was still the legal wife!
Xiao Mo also looked at his little wife in front of him seriously, as if he didn't want to miss even the slightest expression on her face.
But Chen Shuyao remained calm from beginning to end, as if she was talking about an issue that had nothing to do with her.
If I hadn't mentioned it myself, she probably wouldn't have said even such a casual sentence, right?
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "An important friend I met at the border. She once saved my life."
It’s no wonder that he saved my life.
Chen Shuyao didn't ask any more questions. She knew when to stop. If she asked any more questions, it would be annoying.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep in just a moment.
But she didn't know that after she fell asleep, Xiao Mo stared at her sleeping face for a long time.
The next day was a day off, but even so, when Chen Shuyao woke up and saw the person holding her, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"woke up?"
She nodded, and seeing that he was still holding her tightly, she hurriedly said, "It's time to get up. We'll go to Songhe Hall to pay our respects later."
Xiao Mo hummed, but closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry! I'll go with you later."
Chen Shuyao had no choice but to wait patiently for a while. The other party just closed his eyes for a moment and then got up.
The couple dressed and washed together.
After he went to the inner room, Qiao Wei came in to comb her master's hair.
I had only combed half of my hair when Xiao Mo came out.
He did not avoid her like he had done before, but sat behind the dressing table and watched.
Qiao Wei has been combing Chen Shuyao's hair into the simplest golden-thread bun these days, without using a headpiece. Although it is not very formal, it looks clean.
In addition, Chen Shuyao has thick black hair, which makes her look dignified yet casual after putting on the makeup.
Xiao Mo watched from the side for a while, then walked behind her.
Chen Shuyao looked into the mirror and saw the man inserting a hairpin into her head very seriously.
After inserting it, he touched her hair and asked, "Do you like it?"
Chen Shuyao took a quick look and said with a smile, "I like it!"
It was impossible for her to say that she didn't like him. After spending a few days together, she had a general idea of some men's temperaments.
It is not difficult for Shen Shuyao to like to hear nice words, as she has worked hard in these aspects throughout her life.
"That's good." Xiao Mo said, with a look of joy on his face.
Qiao Wei, who had just given up her seat to the male master in the room, had already moved aside. She also glanced at Chen Shuyao's head, but she looked a little surprised.
Seeing her standing there, Huixiang asked, "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong?"
Qiao Wei pointed at the two masters who were having breakfast in the compartment and said nothing more, but the smile on her face gradually widened.
When Chen Shuyao and Xiao Mo arrived at Songhe Hall, there were already quite a few people sitting inside.
Almost all the masters in the mansion were present, and the atmosphere was just like the day of the tea ceremony.
Shen Shuyao walked in and greeted everyone, but when she faced Xiao Jinwen, she clearly felt the tension of the fourth brother's wife.
Chen Shuyao sighed inwardly and called out calmly, "Fourth brother!"
Xiao Jinwen also had a calm expression and a gentle smile, no different from usual.
In fact, he had come to terms with it since that day at Qingning Temple.
However, what happened afterwards still surprised Xiao Jinwen. He did not expect that the helpless cousin in the mansion was a girl from the Shen family, and he did not expect that she would marry his eldest brother.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't envious. She and her eldest brother had been engaged since childhood, and their marriage was a natural progression.
Jinwen knew that Xiao Mo was definitely not the kind of person who was bound by worldly marriage.
This marriage came about so hastily. My eldest brother must be interested in her, right?
When did it all start?
Once this question appeared in his mind, Xiao Jinwen couldn't help but think of many things that seemed normal before but now seemed extremely strange when he thought about it.
From the dogwood bag that suffered misfortune to the rescue on New Year's Eve...
It seems that her involvement with her eldest brother has never been severed.
Xiao Jinwen smiled and called out calmly, "Sister-in-law!"
But when he raised his head, he saw his elder brother looking at him, with a tacit understanding in his eyes that only they could understand.
Xiao Mo walked over and sat next to his fourth brother. The two of them clinked their teacups together and chatted casually about recent events in and outside the mansion.
After the old lady spoke to Shen Shuyao, she called her eldest grandson over and asked, "Where did you go the night before?"
Xiao Mo smiled, turned around and saw everyone in the room looking at him, then touched his nose awkwardly: "What? A three-court trial? Grandson, this is official business."
But when he saw the little girl's expression of disapproval, he smiled and said, "Grandma, why don't you ask Yaoyao? I have already told her."
The old lady was so angry at his behavior that she laughed, "I'm asking you questions, why are you bringing her up again?"
"It's just official business." He said it again, and this time there was a hint of helplessness or grievance on his face.
Seeing this, Old Madam Xiao stopped asking questions.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."
The old man asked questions in front of so many people not to satisfy everyone's gossip, but probably for himself and Shen Shuyao's thoughts.
But the emotional foundation between him and Xiao Mo is weak, let alone trust!
