Chapter 145: Plan Failed
Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and sat there quietly without saying a word.
The Great Elder looked at her with some concern: "Xuan'er, what happened?"
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes sparkled: "Nothing."
The less he said, the more anxious the Great Elder became.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Xuan'er, what happened?"
"Old man, I just don't want to let you go." Shen Jingxuan's tears rolled down uncontrollably.
"If you leave, no one will worry about whether I am thirsty, hungry, or unhappy."
The Great Elder choked and said, "I just want you to agree quickly, okay?"
"If you leave, no one will take care of me."
When have you ever made me mad to death?
"Now that you're gone, I don't even have anyone to quarrel with."
Who loves to quarrel with you? When have I ever gained an advantage from a quarrel?
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyes slightly, with tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, looking at the unmoved Great Elder.
I secretly regretted my miscalculation. This trick didn't work.
Shen Jingxuan's mind was working rapidly, and suddenly she covered her face and burst into tears.
Because of this cry, several old men downstairs hurried upstairs.
"What's going on?" asked the second elder.
The first master and the second master stood on both sides of Shen Jingxuan.
The first master patted her back and the second master helped her wipe away her tears.
"Good boy Xuan'er, let's not cry. Let's talk it over nicely." The Second Master coaxed in a low voice.
Shen Jingxuan cried, "Second Master, I feel so bad."
"Yesterday my father's personal guards talked about my father, and I suddenly felt that life is too fragile."
"I was not nice to the old man before. I want to put aside the past grudges and be nicer to him in the future."
"But before I could figure out how to tell him, he was leaving. I couldn't bear to see him go. I really couldn't bear to see him go."
When several old men heard Shen Jingxuan's crying, their eyes also turned red.
The Great Elder's eyes were sparkling and his eye sockets were red.
The second elder advised, "Brother, you see Xuan'er is crying so sadly, why don't you take it easy?"
"I... ..."
The master stepped forward and patted the great elder on the shoulder: "Why rush? Xuan'er can't bear to leave you. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
The Second Master looked back at him and said, "You are not old enough to retire yet, so you will have plenty of time to travel in the future."
"I... ..."
"Don't blame the old man, it's because I was too ignorant." Shen Jingxuan said aggrievedly.
She turned around and looked at Chuntao: "Chuntao, give the old man some money and let him go for fun."
The third elder came running over with sweat on his forehead: "What happened? I heard Xuan'er was crying?"
Chun Tao held the silver and handed it to the elder: "Elder, this is the silver for your travels."
"Play? Why is Xuan'er crying like this?" The third elder glared at them.
After what happened a few times before, several old men developed a psychological trauma towards the Third Elder and avoided him whenever they saw him.
Seeing no one answering, the master had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Xuan'er can't bear to see the great elder leave."
They had never seen Shen Jingxuan cry like this before, and the old guys were really scared.
The third elder snatched the silver and said, "I can't bear to leave you. What are you doing here? I'll leave when Xuan'er is willing to let you go."
The first elder suddenly widened his eyes and glared at the third elder angrily.
Wait until she is willing to give it up? Are you sure that little girl will be willing to give it up? Anyway, I don't believe it.
You know how to behave yourself. You are allowed to be the good guys, and I am asked to be the bad guys?
Seeing Shen Jingxuan crying so reluctantly, how could he insist on leaving?
But he opened his mouth several times, but they didn't give him a chance to speak.
Now, those old guys have become the good guys and I have become the bad guy again.
The third elder put the silver in Shen Jingxuan's hand: "Xuan'er, don't cry. The first elder will not leave. Here is the silver."
"Really?" Shen Jingxuan raised her tearful cheeks and looked at the Great Elder expectantly.
The elder was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. The duck that was about to reach his mouth flew away.
"Not going anymore." The Great Elder turned his head to the other side.
Could he still go? If he said he wanted to go, or had the slightest thought of going, these old guys would eat him up.
Shen Jingxuan burst into laughter and said, "That's great, Chuntao, give the money to the old man quickly."
Even if he is given the money, he cannot leave, and this opportunity will be gone.
If you want to travel again, you'll have to wait another three months.
Chuntao hurriedly handed the silver to the elder.
The great elder glared at everyone in the room, then left with the silver in his arms.
The clinic downstairs was very busy. Everyone coaxed Shen Jingxuan for a few words and then continued to work.
After everyone left, Shen Jingxuan gradually began to smile.
Humph, it’s not that easy to leave.
If the Great Elder left, who would manage the huge Scarlet Flame Temple? Would she really be allowed to manage it herself?
Fortunately, she was smart and not only saw through the Great Elder's plan, but also successfully kept him.
As for the labor force, it’s a relief when he leaves, but who will do the things left behind?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan put away her smile and her brows gradually frowned.
The strategy that had always worked didn't work, and she just wasted so many tears.
It seems that we need to think of a better solution in case we need it three months later.
The sky was clear and blue, and the sun was shining warmly.
Shen Jingxuan and Chuntao returned to the street.
Chun Tao's eyebrows curved, and she looked at Shen Jingxuan with admiration: "Miss, you are really amazing."
Thinking of the looks of the elders just now and her young lady's act of crying as soon as she said she would, Chuntao admired them even more.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at her: "Pinch your legs harder, you are also good."
In order to make it more realistic, she even forgot how many times she pinched herself.
Chuntao was stunned when she heard Shen Jingxuan's words.
Is this really the case? She raised her hand and pinched her leg, her eyes reddening instantly.
Chun Tao stared at Shen Jingxuan with red eyes: "Miss, you really didn't lie to me."
"..."
Shen Jingxuan looked up at the sky and remained silent.
Of course she would not lie to Chuntao, but she did not expect that Chuntao would be so stubborn as to try it herself.
"Ah Xuan?"
Shen Jingxuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jiang Shaoying and Chen Yi walking towards her.
"What kind of wind is blowing today that blew both of you out of the house?" Shen Jingxuan teased.
Chen Yi's pretty face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Jiang Shaoying said, "It was really boring to stay in the mansion, so I thought about going out for a walk, and then I met Yi'er."
It's really boring. Her father shows her portraits every day and asks her to choose an ideal husband.
Looking at the album that contained all kinds of men, Jiang Shaoying couldn't help but be amazed.
His father was so persistent and afraid that she would not be able to get married that he went to great lengths to collect the men's paintings into a book.
I'm afraid it's a few points thicker than the album of the Emperor's selection of concubines.
"Where are you two going?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
She wanted to go to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce to see if Yun Qingmo had returned to the city.
"Just taking a walk, I don't know where to go next." Jiang Shaoying just wanted to go out and relax, but didn't care where to go.
Chen Yi looked at the two of them shyly and shook her head slightly, not having any ideas of her own.
Shen Jingxuan looked at their expressions and shook her head and laughed, thinking they were really just taking a walk.
"I'm going to Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, can you guys go?"
"Go ahead. It's better than wandering around aimlessly."
"Yier, what about you?" Jiang Shaoying turned sideways and looked at Chen Yi.
"I'll go too." Chen Yi answered and continued to lower her head, looking like a lady from a noble family.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him with admiration.
The Shangshu's wife must be a person who follows the rules, which is why she taught Chen Yi to be like this.
The moment Shen Jingxuan turned around, her way was blocked again, and she was so frightened that she took several steps back.
