Chapter 79: Entanglement in front of the mansion
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao with expectation, which made Xie Lingxiao unable to say no for a moment.
He looked up at Shen Jingxuan: "What do you want to say?"
"It's not a big deal."
Shen Jingxuan tried hard to hold back her laughter: "Stinky man, are the girls in your backyard just for show?"
"If you have nothing to do, practice more. Your kissing skills are terrible."
"Bang" the study door was slammed shut.
In the study room, Xie Lingxiao shouted angrily: "Shen Jingxuan..."
The furious roar spread throughout the Regent's Palace, and Shen Jingxuan stood on the wall of the palace and laughed out loud.
Can't you die? Humph, I'll make you die of anger. There's no point in showing her a bad face.
Shen Jingxuan laughed enough, turned over and jumped off the wall, and in a moment her figure disappeared outside the wall.
Xie Lingxiao sat in front of the desk, his face darkened, and after a while, he suddenly blushed again, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Heh," Xie Lingxiao was so angry that he laughed. That little girl was really bold.
He was a tall and strong man, but he was rejected the first time he kissed a woman.
Saying that his skills were poor? Could a little girl like her who hadn't even reached marriageable age be better than him?
But how can a little girl like her know whether the technology is good or bad? She can only...
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao stood up suddenly, his angry expression looked as if he could eat someone.
Could it be with Young Master Yun?
Xie Lingxiao was so angry that he almost lost his mind: "Lingfeng, get in."
"Master, I'm here." Ling Feng opened the door and came in with a lackey-like look.
Xie Lingxiao glanced at him and said, "Last time I asked you to check on Master Yun, how was the investigation going?"
"Mr. Yun, his name is Yun Qingmo, and he is the young master of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce."
"His father was killed by his uncles, who drove Master Yun and his mother out. At that time, they only gave the heavily indebted Chamber of Commerce to them."
Xie Lingxiao asked in confusion, "Heavily in debt? Qianyu Chamber of Commerce is not only making a fortune, but it also won't be in debt."
"Master, the news says that Miss Shen saved them and their son, and helped Master Yun to revive the Chamber of Commerce."
"Half of the current Chamber of Commerce is owned by Miss Shen, but she never manages it. It is always Young Master Yun who manages the Chamber of Commerce."
"Have you found out anything else?" Xie Lingxiao talked around the subject but ultimately did not directly ask what the relationship between the two was.
"Miss Shen has a very good relationship with Master Yun. They often meet at the Chamber of Commerce."
"Moreover, Young Master Yun also helped to open several shops owned by Miss Shen, and Shengyanlou is just one of them."
"Are they on good terms?" He had also seen how the two of them got along, and that little girl was quite dependent on Master Yun.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Xie Lingxiao shook his head and said, "Let's put it aside for now. Do you have any clues about General Shen?"
Ling Feng shook his head: "Not yet."
"We'll continue investigating General Shen's case, and we'll also need to get to the bottom of the Queen Mother's case as soon as possible."
After thinking for a while, Xie Lingxiao continued, "Find out where the Medical Saint is now and find him as soon as possible. The sooner the Queen Mother's illness is diagnosed and treated, the better."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Ling Feng saw his master's frowning brows and thought that the Queen Mother's condition must be serious, so he quickened his pace to arrange the next things.
In front of the gate of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xie Zihan stood not far away, watching a woman in the distance walking slowly towards the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. He could tell at a glance that the woman was Shen Jingxuan.
He had been waiting here for a long time. After coming out of the Dali Temple, he sent Shen Jinghuan away and quickly came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
But to his disappointment, he didn't see Shen Jingxuan along the way.
When he arrived at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, he asked the guards to ask the doorman and found out that Shen Jingxuan had not returned home.
For some reason, ever since he saw Shen Jingxuan in the yamen today, his mind and eyes have been filled with the stunning glimpse he had in the court.
The way she sat there quietly, her pure and ethereal face, her snow-white skin...
Each one is unforgettable and lingers in front of my eyes for a long time.
When Shen Jingxuan was far away, she saw Xie Zihan standing there, and she walked forward without looking away.
Seeing her getting closer, Xie Zihan hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Xuan'er, you're back?"
"Your Highness, only people who are close to me can call me by my maiden name. You can call me Miss Shen." Shen Jingxuan continued to walk forward.
Xie Zihan went forward to pull Shen Jingxuan: "Xuan'er, don't leave, listen to me."
He has waited for so long, how could he let Shen Jingxuan leave so easily? Wouldn't his trip be in vain?
Shen Jingxuan dodged his hand and said, "I wonder what His Royal Highness wants to say?"
"Xuan'er..." Xie Zihan called gently.
"Call me Miss Shen. If you continue to call me by my maiden name, I will leave." Shen Jingxuan interrupted him.
When Xie Zihan saw Shen Jingxuan who was so distant from him, he suddenly felt that she had been getting further and further away from him without him noticing.
She is no longer the Shen Jingxuan of the past, the one who would pester her every time she saw her.
I am no longer the person who used to look at him in a way that seemed to never see anyone else.
She is no longer the person who used to chase after him and constantly call him Prince.
Xie Zihan tried to calm his complicated mood: "Miss Shen, how about we talk?"
Shen Jingxuan taunted, "I don't think I have anything to talk to you about. After all, we're not familiar with each other, right?"
The pain in her leg made Shen Jingxuan a little irritated, and she didn't want to get entangled with Xie Zihan.
"I can ask the emperor to grant us another marriage. Please don't ignore me." Xie Zihan lowered himself as if begging her.
"Oh, a marriage? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stupid?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at him calmly: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask to cancel the engagement several times?"
"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this now? Has he gone mad and wants to take the foolish girl he once disliked back into his family?"
Xie Zihan felt depressed when he heard her harsh words: "Xuan'er, don't say that. It makes the prince feel uncomfortable when you say that."
Disgusting. Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that she had underestimated Xie Zihan. She didn't expect that he could say such words to people who disliked each other.
Shen Jingxuan said in disgust: "Uncomfortable? Your Highness, the foolish girl Shen Jingxuan who liked you is dead. She was killed by you and your beloved Concubine Shen."
"I am no longer the same Shen Jingxuan now. Your Highness may have found the wrong person."
Shen Jingxuan turned around and continued walking towards the direction of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, with Xie Zihan chasing closely after her.
"Xuan'er, wait for me." Xie Zihan still chased after her without giving up.
Shen Jingxuan turned around suddenly: "Are you done yet? Go back to where you came from."
Doesn't this person have any shame? She has said it so bluntly, but he still keeps pursuing her.
Xie Zihan was also angry. As a prince, he had never been so humble to others. How could Shen Jingxuan be so ungrateful?
He glared at Shen Jingxuan: "Shen Jingxuan, is it fun for you to keep pretending? I've already said that I will ask my father to grant me a marriage."
"I'm pretending? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you. Do you think you're worthy of my pretending?"
Shen Jingxuan sneered, "Your Highness, do you think that your romantic appearance of walking through a myriad of flowers and wanting to pick every leaf is worth my pretending?"
"Or, you take two concubines in one day, and your physical strength is so great that it's worth my pretending?"
Xie Zihan's eyes suddenly widened: "You, you..."
For some reason, after hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, he was speechless.
