Chapter 15 Night visit to the boudoir

Shen Jingxuan didn't know what Shen Xinglin was going to say. Seeing him stuttering, she felt inexplicably angry.

"Lin'er, hold your head up. You are a man. Nothing can make you bow your head."

“No matter what we encounter that we cannot solve, even if we make mistakes, we must hold our heads high.”

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Shen Xinglin suddenly raised his head; "But..."

"There is no but. It's just whether you are willing or not. No matter what, you must hold your head high."

"Even if you cry while standing, you won't laugh while kneeling, do you understand?" Shen Jingxuan said every word patiently.

"I understand, sister."

As Shen Xinglin spoke, he raised his head, straightened his back, and his eyes sparkled.

Seeing the changes in Shen Xinglin, Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips and said, "Now tell me, what is it that has made our Lin'er embarrassed?"

"Sister, I want to take the Tongsheng exam, but mother doesn't want me to go."

"Are you sure you want to go? You have to know that if you take the exam, it will be very hard for you. Besides, you are still young, so you can take the exam a few years later."

"No, sister, I want to take the exam now. I am not afraid of hardship and I will work hard. Can you let me go?"

"Since you want to go, then go. Just focus on your studies. I'll talk to mom about the rest." Shen Jingxuan said as she pulled him into the house.

Seeing her mother mending clothes, Shen Jingxuan sat down beside her: "Mom, Xuan'er is here to see you."

When Mrs. Hao saw her, she smiled and said, "Xuan'er, how come you have time to come and see mother today?"

"Mom, are you dissatisfied that your daughter doesn't visit you often? How about your daughter come every day?" Shen Jingxuan said coquettishly.

"Xuan'er has her own things to do. How can your mother bear to let you run back and forth every day?" Hao touched her daughter's head and casually tucked her scattered hair behind her ears.

"Mother, I have something to tell you. Can you please listen to me first?" Shen Jingxuan shook Hao's arm and acted coquettishly towards her.

"Okay, Mom, listen."

"Mother, Lin'er wants to take the exam for Tongsheng, please let him go. He has his own ideas, please don't stop him. Even if he fails, he is still young, he can take it again in the future."

"Besides, he is our family's legitimate son. Let him make his own decisions. You should let him go and do what he likes."

When Mrs. Hao heard her daughter's words and thought about how hard Shen Xinglin was studying, she couldn't help feeling sad.

He knew that Shen Xinglin studied so hard because he didn't want her to work too hard, but she was reluctant after all.

"Xuan'er, mother doesn't want Lin'er to suffer so much at such a young age. Other children of his age are still playing." She told Shen Jingxuan her thoughts, hoping that she could understand her painstaking efforts.

"Mom, Xuan'er understands, but this is not what Lin'er wants. Since he wants to go, let him go, so he won't regret it later, right?" Shen Jingxuan looked at her mother's embarrassment and knew that she was worried about her brother.

She continued, "Lin'er has his own ideas. We should just follow his heart. These are his own choices. We should support him."

How could she not know how hard studying was? But as the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo, she had more responsibilities on her shoulders than others. How could she be like the children of ordinary families?

If Daddy were still alive, they could be more relaxed.

But now in the Zhenguo Mansion, my father is gone and my grandfather is also very old.

If they don't work harder, who will support the huge Duke Zhenguo Mansion in the future?

When Mrs. Hao heard what Shen Jingxuan said, she sighed that her daughter had grown up and had different ideas.

Since the children all have their own ideas, she will not force them to stop them.

Hao turned and looked at Shen Xinglin: "Lin'er, come to mother."

Seeing Shen Xinglin slowly approaching her, Hao took his hand and asked, "Lin'er, do you really want to take the exam to become a student?"

"Mother, I want to take the exam. I will definitely pass the exam and become a student. Don't worry." After saying this, he hugged his mother tightly and refused to let go.

Feeling the dampness on her clothes, Hao realized that Lin'er was in trouble because of her obstruction.

Looking at Shen Xinglin lying on her shoulder and crying silently, Hao's eyes also turned red.

She tried hard to control her tears and patted Shen Xinglin on the shoulder: "Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stopped our Lin'er."

"Let's listen to your sister and do what you want to do. As long as it's what you want to do, mother will support you in the future, okay?"

"Thank you, mother." Shen Xinglin sobbed.

He stood up, looked up at Shen Jingxuan, and the smile on his lips continued to grow.

"Are you satisfied? You're about to take the exam and you're still crying. Won't you be laughed at?" Looking at Shen Xinglin's red and swollen eyes, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help teasing him.

Shen Xinglin's problem was solved, and Shen Jingxuan talked about her own things: "Okay, mother, Lin'er, I will be away for a while in a few days. Grandfather will take care of you, don't worry about me."

Hao wanted to stop it, but when she thought of what her daughter had just said, she gave up the idea.

She told Shen Jingxuan: "Xuan'er, protect yourself when you go out and don't let yourself get hurt. Mother and Lin'er are waiting for you at home."

"Sister, Lin'er will listen to mother. Don't worry about us. Come back soon."

Shen Jingxuan looked at her mother and brother and smiled: "Okay, I will be back soon."

She chatted with her mother and brother for a while and then returned to Yuxuan Courtyard.

Shen Jingxuan closed the door and slipped into the space. Seeing the large field of crops outside, she couldn't help but feel worried.

When will she be able to harvest the crops and vegetables, as well as the fruit field at the back, all by herself?

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and she sat outside the villa sighing.

She stood up suddenly and shouted: "Collect, collect, collect..."

Before she finished her words, Shen Jingxuan's eyes widened.

I saw that the fruits, crops and vegetables in the space were automatically collected.

She had to hold back the next sentence "When will it be finished?"

She looked at the packed crops, vegetables, and fruits and walked around them several times.

Seeing that there were some scattered on the ground, Shen Jingxuan decided to buy more sacks and baskets next time she went out.

The things she had been worrying about for the past few days were suddenly resolved, which made her feel very happy, and she left the space in a flash.

After Shen Jingxuan simply washed up, she lay on the bed thinking about going to her master's sect.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from outside the window and she sat up quickly.

With her wit and sharpness, she immediately noticed someone sneaking into the room.

Shen Jingxuan's eyes were as sharp as knives, and she grabbed the other person's hand with lightning speed.

The man was startled, then he reacted and the two men started fighting.

Shen Jingxuan used the skills she learned in agent training to make it difficult for the other party to get close to her.

Her movements were extremely strange, and it seemed as if every step she took was filled with murderous intent. They fought back and forth, neither giving in.

When Shen Jingxuan saw the other person's face clearly, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Hey, who was it? Isn't this the stinky man who likes to bathe outdoors?"

After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, she stepped back a little to put some distance between them.

"You..." Xie Lingxiao's breath was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

This ugly woman had a really venomous tongue. He suppressed the venom and it was said to be a wild bath.

Thinking of her strange movements just now, he was shocked and thought to himself that she was really not simple.

"Tsk tsk, not only do you like bathing in the wild, you also like to sneak into the boudoir at night?" Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao and said sarcastically.

After hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Xie Lingxiao didn't want to waste words with her, as he might be so angry that he would vomit blood after a few words.

He stated his purpose directly and said, "Give me the jade pendant."

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant?"

Shen Jingxuan pretended not to understand and looked at Xie Lingxiao in confusion.
