Chapter 97 Love Token
Shen Jiande was burning with anger, but he couldn't vent it for a while.
Shen Jiande never imagined that he was wronged and had no way to seek justice, and his good daughter openly pinned the crime on him.
“Pfft…”
Shen Jiande was hit repeatedly and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He spit out blood and fainted.
But even so, what awaits him next is still imprisonment.
Shen Jinghuan was too lazy to pay attention, he stood up and pulled Sun away, leaving only the clumsy Liu Xue standing there at a loss.
After Shen Jingxuan left, she met Xie Lingxiao in the carriage, and they drove leisurely on the street in the carriage.
Xie Lingxiao lowered his head, picked up the book and started flipping through it. Neither of them spoke for a while.
As the carriage traveled longer and longer, Shen Jingxuan became a little restless. She lifted the curtain with her hand, but her eyes were on Xie Lingxiao.
He had agreed to return the jade pendant to her after she had used it, but after she had waited for so long, Xie Lingxiao was still reading a book and didn't mention the jade pendant at all.
Xie Lingxiao noticed the gaze on her, his eyes did not leave the book, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Did she like his jade pendant so much? Thinking that if she knew the meaning of the jade pendant and still liked it, his heart couldn't help but leap for joy.
Until he couldn't bear Shen Jingxuan's naked gaze anymore, he had to raise his head.
To his surprise, when he raised his head, a hand instantly appeared in front of her.
Xie Lingxiao grabbed Shen Jingxuan's hand and let it go. Her hand was soft as if it had no bones, and it felt soft to hold, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
It suddenly made him want to hold it like this, forever, and never let go.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingxiao looked at the woman in front of him gently.
Shen Jingxuan's hand was held by him, she looked up at Xie Lingxiao, and when she saw the look in the eyes of the person opposite her, she slowly calmed down.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly realized that she had been ignoring one thing, which was the change in Xie Lingxiao's attitude towards her.
She hadn't thought much about it before, but when she saw the gentle look in his eyes and thought about what had happened in the palace before.
Shen Jingxuan was inexplicably flustered. She silently withdrew her hand and looked at Xie Lingxiao as if nothing had happened: "Give the jade pendant back."
Xie Lingxiao put away his lost mood, looked at Shen Jingxuan and forced a smile: "I can give it to you, but do you know the meaning of a woman accepting a man's jade pendant?"
"What's the meaning of a jade pendant?" Shen Jingxuan was puzzled. She really didn't know what Xie Lingxiao meant.
"When a woman accepts a man's jade pendant, it means that they both like each other, and the jade pendant is a token of love." Xie Lingxiao did not miss a single expression on her face and stared at her intently.
"Then you keep it, I don't want it." Shen Jingxuan's heart beat faster. After saying this, she lifted the car curtain and looked out the window.
She thought it was just a jade pendant, but she didn't expect it to have such a meaning. No wonder Xie Lingxiao kept chasing him to get the jade pendant back.
But there was a period of time when he never mentioned the jade pendant, and then thinking about his recent changes, Shen Jingxuan confirmed his thoughts.
Seeing her face full of rejection, Xie Lingxiao forced a smile and said, "I'm just kidding. Take it."
He threw the jade pendant to Shen Jingxuan, lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hand, but he didn't read a single word.
He couldn't quite understand Shen Jingxuan. Why did she avoid him every time he tried to get close to her, as if she was deliberately avoiding him?
But it was different for Yun Qingmo. He could see that Shen Jingxuan treated Yun Qingmo sincerely.
Shen Jingxuan hurriedly caught the jade pendant and carefully observed Xie Lingxiao's reaction. Seeing that he lowered his head to read the book, she secretly felt relieved.
She raised her hand and held up the jade pendant: "You gave it to me voluntarily, and you are not allowed to take it back."
"Yeah," Xie Lingxiao responded and stopped talking.
The two of them didn't say another word until Shen Jingxuan got off the carriage.
The first thing Shen Jingxuan did when she returned home was to drive Chuntao out of the room, and she flashed into the space.
The first thing that comes into view is the boxes all over the yard.
Shen Jingxuan almost forgot that she robbed the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, but she was not in a hurry to watch. She was anxious to make some healing medicine for Amo.
There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the space. It seems that I should find some time to ask Amo how to deal with them. It is not a solution to just leave them alone.
She moved quickly, and in a short while, she had made several bottles of ointment. Without stopping for a moment, she slipped out of the space.
Shen Jingxuan called Chuntao and brought her to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce to visit Yun Qingmo who was beaten with a stick.
Her voice came before she arrived: "Amo, Amo, I'm here to see you." Shen Jingxuan said as she walked.
Yun Qingmo smiled bitterly: "Ah Xuan, you are almost coming of age, how can you be so loud and shouting?"
"As Amo said, I should not go out of the front door or the back door at this time." Shen Jingxuan said.
Of course she knew that many young ladies from official families seldom went out, and it was even more difficult for them to go out after getting married.
But she doesn't want that, and she doesn't want to get married. She feels good living the life she has now.
Yun Qingmo smiled and said, "You are the most reasonable. With your personality, no one would believe that you don't go out."
"Amo still knows me best." She raised her hand to lift Yun Qingmo's quilt, but Yun Qingmo was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
The movement of dodging was so big that it pulled the wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him in surprise: "Why are you hiding from me? I want to apply medicine to you."
Yun Qingmo's face instantly turned red: "Go out and let the servant apply medicine to me."
When Shen Jingxuan saw his expression change, she realized that she was just too anxious. The barrier between men and women cannot be easily broken.
She left the ointment and told Yun Qingmo to apply it on time, then took Chuntao back to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Chuntao walked in front, and the moment she raised her hand to open the door, a teacup flew out of the room.
He came straight towards Chuntao. Shen Jingxuan quickly pulled Chuntao aside, but she didn't expect to hear an angry voice in the room.
"Silly girl, get in quickly." The old man's voice came out of the door, and Shen Jingxuan was stunned.
Isn't this the voice of the Great Elder? Why did he come here? Is he here to settle a score with me?
She knew that the Great Elder had always longed for a carefree and easy life, but he was already free and wanted to throw a mess to herself, which was absolutely impossible.
Even if he wants to travel, he will not be allowed to go happily. He must be squeezed dry of all his value.
Shen Jingxuan walked into the room with a smile. Hey, there was more than just him. Looking at the people in the room, they were quite complete.
She happily came to the third elder and said, "Second elder, third elder, why didn't you inform me in advance? I will go to the city gate to pick you up."
The third elder raised his hand and patted Shen Jingxuan on the head, "You are having fun every day, so how can you have time to pick us up?"
"How could that be? I'll pick you up if I don't pick up anyone else, right, old man?" Shen Jingxuan winked at him.
The second elder smiled and said, "Yes, yes, if Xuan'er knew, she would definitely come to pick us up."
"Third elder, what are you doing in the capital?" Shen Jingxuan pulled the third elder's sleeve and sat down next to him.
The Great Elder glared at the people in front of him, his face flushed with anger, but he had no place to vent.
