Chapter 86 Escape
After returning home, Shen Jingxuan did some simple tidying up, then sent Chuntao away and sat alone in the room.
Thinking of the fear and trepidation I felt that day, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
In such an era, power is indeed supreme. When they are angry, countless people die tragically.
If Xie Lingxiao hadn't been here today, she really didn't know how this would end.
Thinking of Xie Lingxiao, Shen Jingxuan unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, and after a long time, the corners of her lips gradually pursed up.
Xie Lingxiao disturbed her heart all the time, making her want to resist and struggle, but in the end she was powerless.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly became irritated, and she had no choice but to slip into the space.
Looking at the large piece of land outside the yard, Shen Jingxuan's mood gradually improved.
Now there are only food, medicinal herbs and the fruit trees at the back left in her space.
Because time passes quickly in this space, she has no idea how many times her land has been harvested. The space is now filled with food and medicinal herbs, which she has no way to dispose of.
And under the fruit trees at the back, there was no telling how much fruit wine was buried.
Shen Jingxuan tidied up the space, ate something in her villa, and then flashed back to her room.
Just as she was about to rest on the couch, there was another knock on the window.
She opened the window helplessly: "Damn man, can you change your habit of knocking on the window in the middle of the night?"
Xie Lingxiao came in through the window, holding a food box in his hand: "It can't be changed."
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him: "You always knock on other girls' windows. Doesn't your wife care about you?"
It's such a long journey, but he comes here every day. Isn't it troublesome?
"I'm not married yet and I don't have a wife." Xie Lingxiao said.
Shen Jingxuan teased, "Why? You mean, you still have reason to not have a wife? Why don't you get married at such an old age?"
Xie Lingxiao blushed: "A lot of age? I'm just twenty-four."
How come he is already so old? He is still far from middle-aged.
"Wow, you're so old." Shen Jingxuan said, and deliberately stretched out her fingers to count.
Her eyes suddenly widened: "So old? Ten years older than me."
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, and she tried hard to anger Ling Xiao as if she was so angry that he would die.
"You..." Xie Lingxiao was so angry at her that he was speechless.
Seeing that he was speechless, Shen Jingxuan laughed: "By the way, you always go out at night, what about the girls in your house? Don't you have to stay alone in the empty room every night?"
Xie Lingxiao's face and ears turned slightly red: "There are no women in the palace."
After saying this, he glanced at Shen Jingxuan, wanting to see how she would react when she found out.
"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan laughed out loud.
"So how have you been spending the past twenty years?"
Xie Lingxiao said angrily: "Are you done yet?"
You naughty woman, if other women knew that the man’s backyard was clean, shouldn’t they be happy?
How was she? How could he live like that?
Could it be that without women, he would not be able to live?
Shen Jingxuan pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, okay, I have to tell you. What's your problem this time?"
"I'll bring you some food." Xie Lingxiao slowly opened the food box and placed the food on the table one by one.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up when she saw the delicious food: "Damn man, are you feeling guilty?"
Xie Lingxiao glared at her and ignored her, watching her eat quietly.
Afraid that Shen Jingxuan would continue to tease him, Xie Lingxiao decided not to speak, so as not to be pissed off by her in advance.
Shen Jingxuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she picked up something from the plate and stuffed it into Xie Lingxiao's mouth.
For a moment, the two of them froze there, looking at each other, not knowing how to react.
When their eyes meet, they constantly outline each other's eyebrows, nose, lips...
When Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao's mouth, she suddenly pulled back her chopsticks.
It was too embarrassing, so she lowered her head, picked up the food and continued eating.
Xie Lingxiao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at her who was eating with her head down.
Shen Jingxuan stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing whether to swallow the thing in her mouth or not.
She was only thinking about how to resolve the awkwardness, but forgot about the chopsticks, which she had just pulled out of Xie Lingxiao's mouth.
Shen Jingxuan took out the chopsticks from her mouth and swallowed the food in her mouth in a hurry.
"Cough, cough, cough." Because she swallowed too fast, the food got stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow it or cough it out.
"Cough cough..." She tried hard to cough something out, and tears streamed down her face.
But the thing stuck in my throat just refused to come out.
Xie Lingxiao was also panicked. He was in a panic, pouring water and patting her back.
There was really no other way, so he had to pull Shen Jingxuan over, let her lie on his legs, and pat her back hard.
After a while, he finally beat the thing out.
Seeing the things falling on the ground, Xie Lingxiao was obviously relieved. He was already sweating from fright and his clothes were soaked.
Shen Jingxuan had stopped coughing. Seeing that she was getting better, Xie Lingxiao quickly climbed out the window and left, escaping from the place as quickly as possible.
When Shen Jingxuan saw him leave, she wanted to close the window, but saw Xie Lingxiao climb in through the window again.
He threw the things on the table into the lunch box, then fled again with the lunch box.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression.
She didn't understand how Xie Lingxiao had lived for the past twenty years. Wasn't it just using a pair of chopsticks that made him lose his composure?
Did he and the girls in the mansion eat separately? And how about sleeping at night? Did he cover his eyes?
Shen Jingxuan didn't believe what Xie Lingxiao said at all. Most families would have concubines when they were fourteen or fifteen years old, so how could he, the regent, not have one?
He was just making up an excuse because he was afraid that she would continue to tease him.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled here, while Xie Lingxiao was worried in the Regent's Palace.
He didn't expect that just going to bring her some food would end up in such a mess.
Thinking that he had actually run away, he hit his head in annoyance.
Xie Lingxiao really couldn't think of a solution, so he had to call Ling Feng in: "Ling Feng, I'm going to ask you a question. If you answer it, you can continue to receive your monthly salary."
Ling Feng's eyes lit up: "Really? Master, I knew you were the best to me."
Xie Lingxiao glared at him: "You can only do that after you answer it well."
"Okay, master. Please ask now." Ling Feng rubbed his hands back and forth continuously, with a money-grubber look on his face.
Xie Lingxiao thought for a moment and asked, "How can you tell whether that woman likes you or not?"
When Ling Feng heard this, he was shocked. Was his master finally getting married? Could it be that he had someone he liked?
He bared his teeth, grinning like a fool, and looked at Xie Lingxiao with a silly smile.
Xie Lingxiao couldn't bear to look at Ling Feng's appearance. He couldn't control himself and kicked him hard.
"Master, if that woman likes you, she will always stick to you and want to be with you all the time."
Xie Lingxiao thought about it and realized that Shen Jingxuan always wished that he would stay away from her. She always kept a distance from him on purpose and he never noticed that she was sticking to him.
Didn't she have any feelings towards me at all? Could she even say she liked me?
