"Third uncle!"
Shen Junxiao had just changed into a new set of clothes and was about to leave when the little girl came flying towards him and hugged his waist.
This hug made him startled, and then his face darkened. He pulled the little girl out of his arms, "Who bullied you?" He lowered his head and saw that the girl's eyes were indeed red.
His gaze turned cold.
When he left just now, he was still in high spirits, but in the blink of an eye.
Xiu Ying was also shocked by his expression. "..." No, no one is bullying me. "
Shen Jun smiled as he heard her words. The little girl quickly realized that she had been misunderstood, so she blushed and tugged at his sleeve. "No, it's …" "I am so happy."
The teenager looked at her doubtfully.
She pursed her lips and said, "Third Uncle, I was scared by how many things you gave me, so I didn't take a closer look. The jewelry, the style you draw, I... I was too thick and didn't notice it immediately. " After saying that, she gave Shen Junfu a serious smile and bowed, "My gracious thanks to Third Uncle."
The little girl's sudden seriousness made Shen Jun laugh, and then he laughed. He heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm going to be scared to death by you."
He thought it was the little girl getting Shen Lian again.
After Xiu Ying said this, her smile became even brighter. Seeing her own wrinkled robe, she felt a bit embarrassed. "Third uncle, I seem to have caused you trouble again."
Shen Jun smiled when he saw the wrinkled smile. "It's just another set. There's nothing to stop it."
"Third uncle is going out, right? Then I'll go to the study room and wait for you there. I'll send you to the Dazzling Flower Sect." The clothes he wore were very solemn, so he should be fine.
After Xiu Ying said this, she left the room without waiting for anyone to speak. She happily went to the study room to wait.
Looking at the little girl in the rain for a while, Shen Jun could only shake his head. However, he could not bear to refuse her good intentions, so he turned around and went to the inner room to change his clothes.
By the study room, Xiu Ying rarely saw the messy table. Shen Jun smiled happily. No matter what happened, the bookshelves on the table were always neat and tidy. It was rare to see something like this happening today.
Xiu Ying couldn't help but walk forward.
There were two or three books on the table, about farming and drenching and draining, and she was curious to read them.
It was about to be the end of the year, and Third Uncle was actually still in the mood to read these miscellaneous books. Apart from this, the most messy thing was the stack of papers, which were placed on top of the table without any pattern at all. There was a picture that she could not understand. It was somewhat like a small mechanism, a very fine type of thing, but she did not know where to use it.
She thought for a moment, then stretched out her hand to place the book down.
Afraid of messing up the number of pages he was reading, he intentionally made a corner and stacked it in front of the pen holder. She collected the papers one by one and pressed them down with paperweight.
The window of the study was open, but when it was blown again, it was still messy.
After cleaning up, she washed the brush that was still stained with ink and hung it on the rack.
The refreshing feeling of the table made her feel quite accomplished. As she was about to leave and drink some water, she noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor.
He must have missed something earlier.
Xiu Ying bent down to pick it up and found that it was a letter, not the paper on the table. She took it and was about to press it under the paperweight when she spotted a familiar name from the corner of her eye.
Li Qingzhao.
Xiu Ying's hand trembled, and the letter silently fell on the table.
Her face was somewhat pale, but she still frantically went to retrieve the letter.
Why did Third Uncle mention Li Qinghao in the letter? Xiu Ying lowered her head and looked again. She discovered that it wasn't his third uncle's handwriting, but a letter that someone else had sent him.
However, did Third Uncle recognize Li Qinghao at such a time?
All sorts of scenes from her previous life appeared in front of her eyes. It seemed as if it was difficult for her to even breathe.
The things that felt far away, the things that felt so clear, made her hate them and her limbs go cold.
Xiu Ying closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. She lowered her head to read the letter. She wanted to know what the person who wrote the letter wanted from Li Qinghao. If possible, she didn't want Third Uncle to have any contact with that heartless person.
The man's mind was too dark.
Third uncle was an upright and noble man, how could he allow such a person to be tainted!
But when Ying Ying saw this, she knew that the person who sent the letter was from Beijing. Shen Jun's voice called out to her from outside.
Her heart skipped a beat and she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. She hurriedly stuffed the letter into one of the three books, lifted her skirt, and walked out.
"Are you being naughty again?" Shen Jun smiled when he saw her walk out in a daze, teasing her.
Xiu Ying forced herself not to reveal a strange expression. Smiling, she said, "I was helping you clean the table. I kept thinking about the people outside."
Shen Jun smiled and stuck his head out. As expected, he noticed that the tables were clean and tidy. He couldn't help but smile.
"I was wrong about you. I'll buy you dessert when I come back in the evening."
"Sure."
Xiu Ying sent the youth to the flower garden and saw him off on his handsome horse. Her mind was still full of that person's name.
If she were to live her entire life again, the people and things that she would meet would not change.
But she wouldn't let him have anything to do with Li Qingzhao. She remembered that when they were betrothed in her previous life, she had gone to the capital. At that time … At that time, it seemed that Third Uncle had been the one who introduced her.
Xiu Ying's mind rumbled.
Currently, there were still nearly five years until her marriage, yet her third uncle was already acquainted with him.
After that … Xiu Ying's heart skipped a beat. No way, she had to think of a way to make her third uncle be on guard. In her memory, after they were married, her third uncle had disagreed with Li Qingzhao's political views. Li Qingzhao had even neglected her for a few days because of this.
The more she thought about it, the more shocked Xiu Ying became. Even until Dusk, when Shen Jun had someone send her some delicious food, she was still unable to recover.
When the Feng family saw that their daughter had been in a daze the entire afternoon, it was extremely strange.
She could only sigh that she could no longer understand this little girl's mind.
Because of the sudden intrusion of the name Li Qingzhao, it was hard for Xiu Ying to lose sleep. The next day, Wu Qing went to school.
Du Yicheng found it strange that the little girl who was still alive and kicking yesterday, almost humming a little tune, had wilted in the course of a night. He thought about it, then deliberately walked behind the crowd after school and waited for the little girl who seemed to have lost her soul at the entrance of the academy yard.
"Hello."
Xiu Ying was just in time to walk, and was shocked by the little overlord's sudden appearance.
She was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay him any attention. She shot him a glance and was about to cross over.
Du Yicheng stretched out his hand to try to pull her away, but then he thought of something and forcefully suppressed it. He used his body to block her path, "Did someone bully you?"
Xiu Ying was startled by his question.
Who would dare to bully her other than the one in front of her? If she were serious, he would bully her just because he wanted to!
"You were obviously very happy yesterday, but today you have a worried look on your face. There must be someone bullying you, is it that little sister Shu again? Didn't her aunt get sent away? How dare she bully you?! "
