Chapter 197 Still unfinished
Shen Jingxuan couldn't believe that as the grand elder of the Red Flame Temple, who had been in charge of the temple affairs for so long, he would not have any solution.
It's just that there is a way, but it's not easy to implement.
The Great Elder heard Shen Jingxuan's words and glared at her: "Why do you rely on me? You are the Palace Master."
What can he, an elder, do? If he leaves everything to her, she will have nothing to do.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "If you don't want, I can give you the position of Palace Master."
Is she willing to take over? How much money does she have to pay for a Red Flame Temple every month? Doesn't the Great Elder know?
If she had saved that money, she didn't know how much better her life would be.
"you... ..."
The Great Elder was furious. Can the position of Palace Master be given to anyone just by saying so?
Not to mention the huge Red Flame Temple, he can hardly support himself, so how could he have so much money to support those grandsons.
Shen Jingxuan felt much better when she saw that the Great Elder was so angry that he had nothing to say.
"You should think of something that is suitable for the disciples in the temple to do. As for how to implement it, I will discuss it with you when the time comes."
The Great Elder glared at Shen Jingxuan, ignored her, turned around and left.
The Scarlet Flame Temple cannot remain stagnant. It is time for him to return to the temple and make some arrangements.
The sun sets, and the rosy glow covers the earth.
Shen Jingxuan finally left the clinic and returned to Yuxuan Courtyard.
As soon as she stepped into the yard, Ling Huan walked towards her.
"Miss, the old man asked you to have dinner at Fufeng Courtyard."
Shen Jingxuan rubbed her forehead lightly: "Why are you going there to eat?"
In the past, they had their meals separately in their respective courtyards. Although they sometimes ate together, the number of times was very rare.
"Miss, the prince is still over there."
Ling Huan was a little confused. Shen Jingxuan also knew that the prince was in Fufeng Courtyard, so why did he ask such a question?
Shen Jingxuan was surprised: "He hasn't left yet?"
How long has this been going on?
She didn't expect that Xie Lingxiao stayed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for half a day and even had dinner here before leaving.
"I haven't left. I've been playing chess with the old man." Ling Huan said.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the door in front of her and felt depressed.
I finally got the chance to go back to my room and rest for a while, but I couldn't even get in.
Shen Jingxuan sighed silently and turned to walk towards Fufeng Courtyard.
When she arrived at Fufeng Courtyard, Madam Shen was already gone, and only Mr. Shen and Xie Lingxiao were playing chess.
Looking at Mr. Shen's smiling face, you can tell that he is in a good mood.
When Mr. Shen saw Shen Jingxuan, he hurriedly called her: "Xuan'er, come here quickly. Do you think your grandfather is very good at playing chess?"
For a whole half day, he played chess with Xie Lingxiao without losing a single time, and he was extremely happy.
Shen Jingxuan stepped forward: "Why is it so powerful?"
It's not like she doesn't know how bad Mr. Shen is at playing chess.
He had never won a game of chess with his masters a few days ago.
Looking at Xie Lingxiao's faint smile, Shen Jingxuan seemed to suddenly understand.
Mr. Shen said proudly: "I won half a day, isn't that great?"
Shen Jingxuan didn’t know whether Mr. Shen was powerful or not, but she thought Xie Lingxiao was really powerful.
He could play chess with someone who was so poor at it for a whole half day. Shen Jingxuan had to admire him.
If it were her, Shen Jingxuan would never agree to play a second game, let alone half a day.
"Great, great." Shen Jingxuan said perfunctorily.
What should she say? Tell her the truth and tell him that it was Xie Lingxiao who gave in to him?
I guess if that happens, Mr. Shen will be so angry that he will kick her out right away.
Looking at Mr. Shen's happy expression, Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that she hadn't seen him smile like this for a long time.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao with gratitude.
Xie Lingxiao noticed that Shen Jingxuan was looking at her and nodded slightly at her.
Mr. Shen no longer paid attention to Shen Jingxuan and continued to play chess with Xie Lingxiao.
After a while, Mr. Shen laughed heartily: "Hahaha..."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Mr. Shen strangely.
She knew without thinking that Xie Lingxiao must have let Mr. Shen win again.
Madam Shen came to the room: "Put it away and eat."
"Eat later, we'll order another plate." said Mr. Shen.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Lingxiao with an unsatisfied look.
Before Xie Lingxiao could speak, Old Madam Shen stepped forward with a sullen face and asked, "How long do you want to stay here?"
Seeing that his wife was a little angry, Mr. Shen raised his hand and put away the chess pieces without caring whether he was still in high spirits.
"No more rain, put it away now." After he said this, a look of regret appeared on his face.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen and felt that this was how a couple should be.
Unlike other mansions, where men have numerous concubines, how could they remember their wives who had shared the good and bad times with them?
Sometimes it’s just that you only see the new people laughing but not the old people crying, right?
Xie Lingxiao and Mr. Shen collected the chess pieces together: "Grandfather, if you haven't played enough, I will come to play chess with you anytime."
"Okay, okay." Mr. Shen was happy now, and he collected the chess pieces much faster.
By the time the two men had put away the chess pieces, the meal had been served in the dining room.
After the four of them sat down, Mr. Shen ordered, "Come here, bring some wine."
He was happy today, and Xie Lingxiao, his grandson-in-law, was very much in his heart, so he would definitely have a few drinks to celebrate.
Madam Shen saw that Mr. Shen was happy and did not stop him, allowing the servants to put the wine in front of him.
Shen Jingxuan ignored the two people drinking and sat down with Old Madam Shen to eat.
After the meal, the two of them enjoyed it very much.
Xie Lingxiao and Mr. Shen drank glass after glass of wine, and from time to time they glanced at Shen Jingxuan who was sitting opposite them.
It was not until Mr. Shen asked the servants to bring wine again and was stopped by Mrs. Shen that Xie Lingxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Mr. Shen was helped up by Old Madam Shen, and he was walking unsteadily.
Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan sent Mr. Shen back to his room, and they went to Yuxuan Courtyard together.
As soon as Shen Jingxuan stepped into the room and closed the door, Xie Lingxiao in front of her pressed her against the door.
Xie Lingxiao then came up: "Xuan'er..."
Their bodies were pressed against each other, and Shen Jingxuan's nostrils were filled with the smell of Xie Lingxiao's alcohol.
Shen Jingxuan gently pushed Xie Lingxiao, wanting him to sit down and have a cup of tea to relieve his discomfort after drinking.
After Xie Lingxiao moved away a little, he lowered his head and gently kissed Shen Jingxuan's forehead, eyes, cheeks, and finally her cherry lips.
When their lips touched, the soft touch seemed like an electric current, stimulating every nerve of both of them.
Shen Jingxuan put her arms around Xie Lingxiao's neck and responded softly...
After the kiss, the two of them held each other, panting.
Shen Jingxuan's breathing just stabilized.
Xie Lingxiao kissed her earlobe lightly, then sucked and bit it gently...
"Hmm..." Shen Jingxuan moaned softly.
When Xie Lingxiao heard the delicate moan, his blood boiled instantly and he couldn't suppress the urge to possess her.
"Xuan'er, go to the space." He whispered softly in Shen Jingxuan's ear.
After saying that, he continued to nibble Shen Jingxuan's earlobe, kissed her neck, and kissed down...
