Chapter 257 Token Opens the Way
Shen Xinglin had been standing in the yard for half an hour. If he arrived any later, he was worried that he would not be able to get a good seat to see the list.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingxuan opened the door: "Lin'er is so anxious, it's my sister's fault."
"elder sister... ..."
Shen Xinglin took a few steps forward: "Mother agreed to let me move back to Yulin Courtyard."
He also didn't expect that his mother would readily agree to return to Qinxin Garden just when he casually mentioned it.
"When do you want to move? Then let Chuntao, Lingqiong and Linghuan go over to help you."
I think my mother has really changed a lot. If she were the same as before, she would definitely not agree so easily.
"I'll move after I check the list." Shen Xinglin said.
The two of them arrived at the gate of the mansion together, where a carriage was already waiting.
To their surprise, in addition to the carriage parked in front of the mansion, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were also standing there.
"Grandpa and grandma..." Shen Xinglin ran forward with a smile.
Old Master Shen pretended to be angry and asked, "Why? Now that you have grown stronger, you don't need to tell grandpa and grandma about anything?"
He had known a few days earlier that the results would be announced today.
They thought Shen Xinglin would go to Fufeng Courtyard to look for them, but they didn't expect that he hadn't shown up until this point.
"Grandfather, I'm just worried about your health. I want to let you know after I look at the list." Shen Xinglin said.
Mr. Shen glared at him and helped Mrs. Shen get into the carriage first.
After Shen Jingxuan and Shen Xinglin got on the carriage, Old Madam Shen said with a smile, "Your grandfather has been worried about you two for a few days, but he has never seen you two come to Fufeng Courtyard, which makes him very anxious."
"Grandfather, it's my grandson's fault."
Mr. Shen said, "Grandfather is still in good health. Of course, he wants to see such an important event on the spot."
Shen Jingxuan's voice sounded faintly: "I saw the same result on the spot. When Lin'er returned home and told me, the result was the same. Grandfather, you are anxious."
Even at such an old age, Lin'er felt sorry for them and worried that they would suffer from traveling back and forth, but he didn't expect that his grandfather was more anxious than Lin'er.
"You little bastard, Lin'er didn't go to tell us, what about you? Why don't you go either?"
He hadn't even settled the score with Shen Jingxuan yet, but she started talking about herself first.
Shen Jingxuan said: "I don't know the time, how can I tell you?"
If Shen Xinglin hadn't told her yesterday, she wouldn't know the exact time. How could she tell them?
"you... ..."
Seeing that Mr. Shen’s face was flushed, Madam Shen persuaded him, “Okay, today is a happy day, why do you keep scolding them?”
"If you don't want to go, go back home and wait, so as not to affect our mood."
Mr. Shen remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan lifted the car curtain and looked outside, as if she didn't see anything.
Isn't it just because I'm angry about what I said? Even if I was glaring at myself, those words have already been said, and my grandmother is here...
The grandfather could only be angry, after all, in his heart, grandmother was above everything else.
After a long silence, the carriage finally stopped and a group of people got off.
Looking at the increasing number of people in front of her, Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly.
There are so many people that even if it’s their turn, they don’t know how long they’ll have to wait.
"Sister, you and grandfather wait here for me, I'll go over and take a look." Shen Xinglin said.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Mr. Shen and said, "Grandfather, you and grandma are here. I will accompany Lin'er to see the list."
With so many people, how can we let Shen Xinglin go alone?
If she accompanied Shen Xinglin to look at the list, he would probably be happy too, right?
"elder sister... ..."
Before Shen Xinglin could speak, there was a noise coming from behind the crowd, and Shen Jingxuan turned around to look.
Ling Feng led the way, and Xie Lingxiao walked behind him. In just a moment, they arrived in front of Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Lingxiao stepped forward and said, “Grandfather and grandmother, I will accompany you to look at the list.”
"Xiao'er, we are discussing how to check the list. It's just right that you're here." Old Master Shen's eyes lit up instantly.
I finally met you. Now I’m a little anxious to go back home.
Mr. Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he would bring Xie Lingxiao back to the mansion no matter what.
“Grandfather, let Ling Feng lead the way and we will follow him.” Xie Lingxiao said.
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Feng. Ling Feng walked forward with the token in his hand, and the people in front of him made way for him.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where the results were announced. Looking at the red list in front of him, Shen Xinglin clenched his fists nervously.
Xie Lingxiao noticed his strangeness and patted his shoulder: "Go and see."
As a man and the only heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he shouldn't be nervous about everything, let alone just going to see the list.
Shen Xinglin turned his head to look at Xie Lingxiao, and after seeing him nod slightly at her, he walked forward.
His family is behind him and giving him great support, so he shouldn't be too nervous.
For some reason, Xie Lingxiao nodded at him, as if giving him infinite courage and helping him calm his nervous and pounding heart.
Shen Xinglin calmly came to the list. When he saw his name on it, he returned to Xie Lingxiao with an expressionless face.
"Brother-in-law, I made the list." Shen Xinglin said calmly.
When Xie Lingxiao heard his address, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Not bad."
The simple praise brought a smile to Shen Xinglin's face.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Shen Xinglin and Xie Lingxiao, her eyes wandering between them.
When did they have contact? Why are they so familiar with each other?
If it were in the past, Shen Xinglin would definitely be the first to tell her, but now that she has met Xie Lingxiao, everything has changed.
Shen Xinglin seemed to be unable to see himself, and his eyes never left Xie Lingxiao.
Shen Jingxuan covered her lips lightly: "Ahem..."
Shen Xinglin suddenly came back to his senses, his face slightly red as he said, "Sister, I passed the Li Yuan exam."
"Yeah, Lin'er is the best." Shen Jingxuan patted his shoulder.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan and gradually raised the corners of his lips.
He didn't expect it. He just wanted Shen Xinglin to act more manly and praise him a few words so that he would forget about Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Lingxiao came to Shen Jingxuan and said, "Xuan'er, I didn't expect Lin'er to pass the Liyuan exam."
He took the initiative to talk to Shen Jingxuan, but she glared at him: "You didn't expect a lot."
After that, she supported Old Madam Shen and said, "Grandma, let's go back to the mansion and talk about it."
Half an hour later, Shen Jingxuan helped Old Madam Shen get off the carriage.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they saw Lu Changfan standing there.
"Changfan, why don't you go into the mansion first?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
Lu Changfan smiled and said, "Ah Xuan, I just arrived too and haven't had time to enter the mansion yet."
"Let's go and talk inside the mansion." said Mr. Shen.
They came to Fufeng Courtyard together, and soon Mr. Shen's study was crowded with people.
Shen Jingxuan said, "Grandfather and grandmother, this is the young Marquis Lü Changfan of the Ningguo Marquisate. He will be staying at the mansion for a while. I asked him to live with Lin'er in Yulin Courtyard."
"Just arrange it."
Old Master Shen turned to Lu Changfan and said, "If the young marquis has anything to say, please tell Lin'er and Xuan'er. Don't be polite."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen. I'm sorry to bother you." Lu Changfan stood up and bowed.
"There's nothing to disturb you. You're Xuan'er's good friend. Just like you're in your own house."
As soon as Mr. Shen finished speaking, Xie Lingxiao came up to him with an ugly look on his face.
"Grandfather, Xiao'er also has something to tell you."
