Chapter 99 Draw a big pie
Shen Jingxuan retreated faster, but she didn't expect that her eyes were directed at a stupid teammate.
Just as she was about to sneak away successfully, the great elder roared: "You damn girl, you are so cruel to me."
Li Luo, who went to help the Great Elder, and the Second Elder and the Third Elder who came forward to check on him, all looked at Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan looked up at the sky speechlessly. She didn't expect Li Luo to be so stupid. If those bastards in the palace were here, she would have run away long ago.
Seeing that she couldn't escape, she had no choice but to go forward to see how badly the Great Elder was injured.
"Old man, are you okay?" Shen Jingxuan asked with pretended concern.
She knew without even thinking too much that the old man was pretending. With his strong physique, even though her blow just now was a bit too strong, it wouldn't have been enough to make him fall to the ground.
The Great Elder didn't even look at Shen Jingxuan. He snorted and turned his head to the other side.
Shen Jingxuan's mouth twitched slightly: "Stop pretending. You are already old. If you lose, just pretend to be injured. Do you not care about your dignity?"
She thought she could just pretend, but looking at her current appearance, she regretted not running faster.
The Great Elder was still lying there, unable to get up. No matter who tried to help him, he ignored them and kept staring at Shen Jingxuan.
At this time he had come to his senses and realized that he had just agreed to Shen Jingxuan's request in a fit of anger.
He regretted it so much that he agreed to such a request in that moment of confusion.
That little girl clearly said against her will that she didn't want to be beaten, so why can't she just go along with it?
Is he sacrificing his wonderful life for the rest of his life, only to have to work hard for the rest of his life?
The Great Elder felt aggrieved just thinking about it. Every time he met that little bitch, he could not get the upper hand.
Seeing him lying there motionless, Shen Jingxuan had no choice but to go forward to check.
Seeing that he was fine and just couldn't get up, Shen Jingxuan sneered, "Old man, are you going to throw your face away? Just lie down, I'm leaving."
The Great Elder was furious. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and said, "Get back here. If you take another step, I'll break your legs."
Shen Jingxuan originally wanted to provoke the Great Elder, but considering that he had spent the rest of his life working for her, she wanted to comfort him in any way she could.
If he ran away in a rage, where would she find another old man as easy to please as him?
"I have to not leave. Isn't it just that I feel uncomfortable?" Shen Jingxuan said.
"You clearly knew that was my lifelong wish, yet you didn't stop me and asked me to gamble with you."
Shen Jingxuan's brain was working hard. She wanted to think of a perfect solution that would not only keep the agreement but also calm the old man down.
She looked at the Great Elder and said, "You just want to go sightseeing, don't you? I can find a way for you. The bet must stand."
"Hmph, let me see what solution you can come up with." The Great Elder sat on the ground without looking at Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan rolled her eyes a few times, put her hands behind her back and squeezed them hard, and tears just flowed down.
Several old men became panicked. She was fine just now, why did she start crying suddenly?
"Xuan'er, why are you still crying? Don't cry, I will help you teach him a lesson." The third elder said as he was about to rush towards the first elder.
After he was pulled by Shen Jingxuan, Shen Jingxuan cried and told them about her life from childhood to adulthood.
She talked about how stupid she was, how she was bullied, and how she lacked food and clothing.
She talked about how her father died in battle, how she wanted to find out the cause of his death, how the queen made things difficult for her, and how miserable her life was...
The old men had never heard Shen Jingxuan say these things before, and they couldn't help but feel more distressed for her.
The Great Elder stopped sitting on the ground and went over to pull Shen Jingxuan: "Okay, stop crying, we are here for you in the future."
Shen Jingxuan looked at him with red and swollen eyes: "Will you regret it? Will you continue to manage the affairs of the palace?"
"Don't worry, I will do what I promised you." The great elder assured.
Shen Jingxuan happily pulled his sleeve and said, "Old man, you help me manage it first. When I find out the cause of my father's death and get my revenge, I will definitely give you a lot of money and let you travel around."
Shen Jingxuan thought about it and realized that it was still unknown when revenge would be given, and she was afraid that the Great Elder would not be able to wait any longer and would just walk away.
She rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, when you get bored in the palace, you can tell me and I will definitely give you a vacation and let you go out for a walk, how about that?"
"I will also prepare enough silver for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Shen Jingxuan stared at the Great Elder closely. She was afraid that the pie she had drawn was not big enough and the Great Elder would not like it. What should she do?
He kept thinking of other countermeasures in his mind, and he must make the Great Elder agree happily.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Great Elder slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Xuan'er. You have to prepare more money for me. I want to go out for a few days every month."
This caught Shen Jingxuan off guard. She said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Old man, can you go out once every three months?"
"How about this? If you go out once a month, I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver. How about that?"
Seeing Shen Jingxuan hesitated to speak, the elder couldn't help but ask: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "If you go out once every three months, I will give you five thousand taels of silver, how about that?"
The Great Elder calculated that if he went out once every three months, he could earn an extra two thousand taels. Wouldn't that make him more free and easy? He had to choose once every three months.
"Okay, then I will go out for a trip once every three months." The Great Elder was very happy.
Although there are some restrictions compared to before, at least his dream of retirement provision is still there, which is better than nothing. What's more, it doesn't require his money.
It has to be said that Shen Jingxuan's big plan has definitely touched the heart of the Great Elder. He will be indescribably happy for at least the next three months.
Li Luo and the second and third elders standing by always felt that things were not that simple, but looking at Shen Jingxuan's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying to the first elder.
Several people returned to the courtyard with their own thoughts, and Shen Jingxuan was finally able to lie down on the couch in peace.
Thinking of the old man's face full of happiness and approval when he heard her idea just now, Shen Jingxuan's mouth curled up.
I hope the Great Elder doesn’t realize it too early, otherwise the pain and tears she felt when she pinched him would be wasted.
The sound of knocking on the window frame brought Shen Jingxuan back to her senses, and she had no choice but to go and open the window.
She turned around and sat on the chair: "What's wrong with you again? When will you change this bad habit of yours?"
“No change.” Xie Lingxiao came in and sat next to her unceremoniously.
Seeing that he looked troubled, Shen Jingxuan jokingly asked, "Oh, what's the big deal that can make the Regent so worried?"
Seeing her gloating, Xie Lingxiao turned his head and glared at her: "Lifelong event."
"Do you have someone you like?" He pursed his lips tightly.
Xie Lingxiao finally asked what was in his heart.
