Chapter 218: Journey Rejected
Shen Jingxuan came to the room and saw Xie Lingxiao sitting on the bed in a daze.
She sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What happened?"
Xie Lingxiao knew that Shen Jingxuan was worried about his health, but he had to go on this trip.
"My grandmother is seriously ill, and the Chen family sent a message asking me to go back." After he finished speaking, he stared at Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan's eyebrows gradually frowned: "Do you know that your body not only needs to be recuperated, but also needs to be rested?"
"Did you know that your body can't even walk around for too long, let alone travel long distances?"
Xie Lingxiao stared at Shen Jingxuan, and seeing that she was not angry, but was just telling him how serious the matter was, he relaxed instead.
"Xuan'er, how long do I need to recuperate?"
If time is short, he could delay for a few days and it should be enough. At worst, when he can go, he can just ride as fast as he can and keep going.
But if it takes a long time, then he will have to go.
Shen Jingxuan noticed his thoughts and said, "It will take at least half a month before you can move around freely."
"But if you want to hurry on, it's absolutely impossible. Your body simply can't handle it."
When Xie Lingxiao heard Shen Jingxuan's words, his expectant heart slowly sank.
Shen Jingxuan's words were simply telling him that he couldn't go.
If he goes in half a month, he can only go slowly. Not to mention whether he can make it in time, he is afraid that he cannot wait even for half a month.
Xie Lingxiao looked embarrassed: "Xuan'er, but the letter said that grandma is dying, I'm afraid I won't be able to see her for the last time."
Shen Jingxuan stood there in a daze for a moment.
She didn't expect the situation to be so serious that Xie Lingxiao couldn't even rest.
Shen Jingxuan felt a little depressed when she saw that he looked unhappy.
It concerns Xie Lingxiao's health. She doesn't even allow him to get out of bed and walk, so how could she agree to let him travel far away?
"Let's wait a few more days and see. If he recovers well, we'll make a decision then."
After saying that, Shen Jingxuan no longer paid attention to Xie Lingxiao, and stood up and walked out.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan's receding back, Xie Lingxiao looked worried.
He knew that Shen Jingxuan was worried about his health, and he didn't want to make Shen Jingxuan worry too.
I had wanted to spend more time with Shen Jingxuan while she was recuperating, but then this happened.
Thinking of what Shen Jingxuan said about recuperating for a few days, Xie Lingxiao sighed slightly.
Now he couldn't make Shen Jingxuan unhappy because of the affairs of his grandparents' family, so he could only obey her arrangements.
Shen Jingxuan left the room and sat quietly in the yard.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Chuntao returned to the yard at some point.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shen Jingxuan sitting there thinking about something.
Shen Jingxuan glared at her: "You knew I was thinking about something, but you still bothered me?"
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do about it.
If she followed her idea, she would wait until Xie Lingxiao recovered.
But she was also worried about what Xie Lingxiao said.
She was afraid that because of her obstruction, Xie Lingxiao would not be able to see his grandmother for the last time.
"Miss, how about you talk to me? I can help you think about it?"
She helps? If Qiuyou were here, she would definitely tell Qiuyou and ask her to help with some ideas.
As for Chuntao, there is no need to say anything. What can she come up with?
"I can't afford you, go find Ling Feng."
Rather than telling Chuntao, she would rather not say anything, so as not to make her mouth dry and waste a lot of tea.
Chun Tao blushed slightly: "He, he left."
"Did you just send him off?"
No wonder I didn’t see him just now, it turns out he went to see his sweetheart off.
After hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Chuntao's blushing face turned even redder.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she let Chuntao leave.
She went back into the room.
When Xie Lingxiao saw Shen Jingxuan coming back, he stared at her closely.
Shen Jingxuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Why are you always looking at me?"
Xie Lingxiao said: "It's okay, I just want to see you."
"..."
His gaze was too hot, making Shen Jingxuan feel uncomfortable all over, so she sent Xie Lingxiao directly into the space.
As his figure disappeared, Shen Jingxuan was the only one left in the room, which gave her a lot of peace and quiet.
After Shen Jingxuan had lunch at home, she took Chuntao out of the house.
As soon as they got to the street, they met Chen Yi.
When Shen Jingxuan saw her walking with lotus steps, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Are you tired of being so tired every day?"
He was so casual when he was alone with them, but now he is still the same as when he first met her.
Chen Yi said aggrievedly: "Ah Xuan, I am so tired, but there is nothing I can do."
"My mother said that every rich and powerful family would not like a woman who follows the rules. She watched me practice these things all day long."
"She also said that I had already reached marriageable age, but no one had come to propose marriage to me, so she wouldn't let me leave the house all day."
Shen Jingxuan shook her head and laughed: "Is your mother sure that you can continue to pretend after you marry into a wealthy family?"
It is said that if you do something for a long time, it will become a habit.
But it depends on what the matter is, right?
Like Chen Yi, doing things she doesn't like all day long.
I think no matter how long it goes on, she won't develop a habit, it will only make her more and more disgusted.
Chen Yi looked worried: "I don't know if she is not sure. I only know that I am not sure."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to go find Ying'er. Xuan, do you want to come with me?"
"Then let's go together." Since she had nothing to do, Shen Jingxuan agreed.
The two of them came to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery together.
The doorman already knew Chen Yi, and led them to Jiang Shaoying's yard without notifying them.
This was Shen Jingxuan's first time here. Due to etiquette, she couldn't look around and could only follow the servant in front of her.
As soon as they walked through a long corridor, Jiang Shaoying came to greet them: "Axuan, you are here."
Jiang Shaoying was so happy to see Shen Jingxuan entering the house.
She seemed not to have seen Chen Yi and continued walking towards her yard with Shen Jingxuan.
Chen Yi glared at Jiang Shaoying: "Can't you see I'm here too?"
"I'm not blind. How can you, a grown-up like me, not see?" Jiang Shaoying said.
I've come here countless times, why am I being so pretentious this time?
"Then why don't you take me away?"
Jiang Shaoying frowned slightly: "If you don't say you come here every day, you should come here twice every three days. Don't you know the way?"
"you... ..."
Jiang Shaoying's words left Chen Yi at a loss as to how to respond.
It was indeed as Jiang Shaoying said, she would come to Jiang Shaoying's house as long as she had some time.
Only when she is not at home can she be free from her mother's constant nagging.
The three of them quickly arrived at Jiang Shaoying's room.
Chen Yi sat down angrily and poured a cup of tea for herself and Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Chen Yi, who seemed to be more comfortable than in her own house, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Without waiting for Jiang Shaoying to say anything, Chen Yi looked at Shen Jingxuan with a mysterious expression.
"Ah Xuan, guess what treasure Ying'er has here?"
Every time she came, Jiang Shaoying acted like a thief and hid her treasure tightly.
Now that Axuan is here, Chen Yi doesn't believe that Jiang Shaoying will not take out her treasure.
