Su Xinyu never would have thought that Wen Ling would come to his house at this time. Thus, she was in a state of complete shock. When she saw Wen Ling, the first thing she said was: "Why are you here?"

Although he knew that Su Xinyu did not have any intentions of not wanting to see him, Shangguan Lin still pretended to look at her in disappointment.

Su Xinyu hurriedly shook his head, "No. I didn't mean that. Aren't you under house arrest? " As she spoke, she quickly let them into the room and then closed the door.

Although Hu Ya and Su Mei outside of the door felt that it was inappropriate, but since Young Miss had done it, they could not say anything. Especially not now.

Shangguan Lin laughed and replied: "I sneaked out. He didn't want to celebrate New Year alone, so he came. You won't take me in, will you? I only have one place left to celebrate the new year. "

Although he knew that it was impossible to see the two of them, but seeing them in person, Su Xinyu's heart still softened. "Even though they mocked each other in their hearts, at the end of the day, they still had a bit of friendship towards each other. Moreover, they wouldn't become enemies with each other." Why do you sound so pitiful? I didn't say I wouldn't let you come for the new year. Isn't this worried that you would be scolded by the family after sneaking out? You and your father finally got over the misunderstanding. If you don't go home to celebrate the new year, can you really do it? "

When Shangguan Lin sat down, he did not wait for Su Xinyu to pour him a cup of tea. Instead, he poured for himself a cup of water and drank it. I told my father before I came out. He also felt that it would be better for me to hide out for now. The Emperor's Disease... Not too good, right now the Third Prince is plotting to get the throne. My father placed me under house arrest for my own safety. At this crucial moment, my departure was even more unfathomable than my house arrest. Perhaps it can be of help outside. "

Su Xinyu sighed: "I don't understand either. But I want you all to be safe. How long can you stay this time? I'll have someone prepare a room for you? "

Shangguan Lin did not refuse, "Alright. It's safer for me to stay with you. Otherwise, if you go back to my little courtyard, you'll be tired of going back and forth, which would be quite conspicuous. Originally, I should go to my uncle and aunt's place, but the situation is special now. Uncle is also from the Fourth Prince, if I go there, I will definitely be discovered. But I can't stay long. Fortunately, the capital was not far from here. It would only take him a day to get there on horseback. When something happens, Xiao Tong and the others will send me news. "

"Sigh. He didn't know when it would end. Look at you now, covered in dust, I don't think you had breakfast. I told Hu Ya to go and prepare it for you. Go wash up first. Oh right, did you bring a change of clothes? If not, then send someone to buy some. You really can't get out of this body. "

Shangguan Lin lowered his head to look at his dejected appearance. He was the dignified Fifth Prince, but who knew if he was anxious to see the one he loved? I don't have to bother with the clothes. However, he really needed to trouble people to prepare to wash up. My appearance really makes you laugh. "

Su Xinyu laughed: "What are you laughing at. I've seen you look even more miserable. Alright, don't worry about that. I'm still very handsome. It doesn't affect your heroic bearing at all. "

Shangguan Lin's eyes lit up: You're really handsome? Actually, Su Xinyu had told him about the term "handsome" in the conversation before. Although he did not know where the dialect came from, Su Xinyu felt that he was very handsome, and this made him very happy.

Su Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You are the most handsome man in the world. Don't make me laugh. Sit down for a while, and I'll get you to prepare the bath water. I'll clean the guest room for you. "

Logically speaking. Wen Ling was an outsider, even if he was his nephew, he couldn't live in the Inner Academy, not to mention that they didn't have any connections. But Su Family itself was not too deep, and since Wen Ling was not allowed to show his face right now, Su Xinyu had arranged for Wen Ling to stay in his courtyard. Fortunately, her courtyard was separated, so it could not be considered a courtyard. Although Su Wenlan felt that something was amiss, but in the eyes of a stranger, it was understandable.

Su Xinyu had no other choice. The backyard was his mother's and the room prepared for the Seventh Grandmother. She couldn't possibly let Wen Ling live with his mother, right? In the end, Wen Ling's identity was different, and he wasn't like the Qian siblings who knocked their heads on the ground with Tian Liyong. So it must not be heavy. There was nothing he could do.

Shangguan Lin was actually very happy with this arrangement. It was something he did not expect to be able to live so close to Su Xinyu. But he also knew clearly that this was not because Su Xinyu fawned over him, nor was it because Su Wenlan didn't teach her daughter well. Rather, they were indulging themselves in their own situation in order to prevent their identities from being revealed. The Su Family was no longer limited to just the four of them, but more than a dozen of them were in the main house.

After washing up, he changed his clothes. Naturally, someone took the dirty clothes and washed them clean. Shangguan Lin had a late morning meal in Su Xinyu's little kitchen. After eating his fill, Su Xinyu immediately told him to go rest. A person who didn't sleep yesterday night was not qualified to sit down and chat.

Shangguan Lin had slept soundly in the army camp. However, he was able to sleep more soundly in Su Family. It was a real feeling of being at home. There was no need to worry about anything. There would be people who would care if they were thirsty or hungry, and people who would worry if they were hurt or not, and most importantly, there would be someone who would occupy their heart and look at her as if the world was going to lose all color. As long as there was this person, all their hard work would be for naught.

He slept for ten minutes. When he woke up, dinner was ready.

It was New Year's Eve tomorrow, so naturally, the food was very good today. To let his own servants see the cousin young master, and to tell them that the cousin young master carried out this important and secret mission, no one was allowed to speak of it. After that, he let the servants do what they needed to do. On the dining table, Su Wenlan was also concerned about Shangguan Lin's family's situation. Although she paid respects when she first arrived in the morning, she only asked a simple question. After chatting for a bit longer, Su Wenlan sighed: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't have said these words. But as soon as your relationship with your father eased up, you came out. Even if he agreed, he would still feel some regret. "

With her parents' mentality, it was understandable for Su Wenlan to think that way. But how could the royal family compare to ordinary families? It was said that the imperial family was heartless, but they had never thought that sometimes being heartless was harder to balance than having emotions. Ever since she knew that the Royal Father didn't throw him far away out of loathing him, Shangguan Lin could already understand the helplessness she felt as an emperor.

"Father also said that I came out this time to protect my life. I can't say much, but the situation in the capital isn't very good. Yuxiang Restaurant's business is not bad right now, but I think it's better to keep fewer materials. "

Su Wenlan had never asked about business, nor did she understand anything about it. So when she heard her daughter talking animatedly with Wen Ling, she could think of any topic. She was also extremely moved in her heart.

In this world, there weren't many men who could accept a girl like their daughter. And those who could chat with their daughters were even rarer. Wen Ling was truly a good person everywhere. However, he didn't know if he could really let go of his obsession. However, Su Wenlan was not willing to let his daughter give up on his perseverance. A pair for a lifetime, what a beautiful wish.

After dinner, Su Wenlan chatted with them for a while longer before returning to her own courtyard to rest. Su Mei waggled her eyebrows at Hu Ya worriedly, but there was nothing Hu Ya could do. However, she believed that her young mistress would explain more clearly. As a result, she gestured an encouraging gesture towards Su Xinyu, causing him to be at a loss whether to cry or cry, but she was under a lot of pressure now.

However, there were some things that Su Xinyu would not say before New Year's Eve. Since Wen Ling had come, it was unknown when he would leave. She didn't want to embarrass things so much over the new year. Even if she knew that Wen Ling still had his in his heart, he was still too young. Whether or not Wen Ling had those thoughts of his, was still up to the point.

But sometimes things happen so coincidentally. That night, the two of them chatted. While talking, he mentioned about Wen Ling, his stepmother who had taken in two concubines as servants for him when he was no longer in the capital.

When Shangguan Lin said this, he paid attention to Su Xinyu's expression. She knew that Su Xinyu was not an ordinary woman and he had matured before her age. Thus, he felt that he should tell this to Su Xinyu in advance. Even if he hadn't touched any women, he still had two concubines in his house. Even if one of them was killed, there was one more that he couldn't hide. And the sooner you say it, the better.

However, her honesty did not make Su Xinyu feel like she was being honest. On the contrary, she felt a lump in her heart.

"" Seeing that Su Xinyu frowned a little but did not take up this topic, Shangguan Lin's heart tensed up. Xinyu... Do you think I should send the rest of them away? I don't like her, I haven't even seen her. With a stranger by my side, I feel very strange. "

Su Xinyu only came back to her senses after she acknowledged her. It was not suitable for him to give her such an opinion. "So she added," " "It depends on how happy you are."

This time, Shangguan Lin understood that Su Xinyu was angry. Xinyu... I really haven't seen her. "I swear!"

This oath came to him for no reason. The two of them did not express their feelings, so naturally, there was no need to explain their feelings to each other. However, Shangguan Lin had long since tacitly admitted that he only liked Su Xinyu. Even if he had to wait a few more years, he didn't mind. Thus, when he said this, he did not feel that it was inappropriate.

"But Su Xinyu didn't decide to do that. What difference does it make? In the future, your elder will still marry and take in a concubine. But when you get married in the future, remember to send me an invitation. At least you and I are cousins. As your little brother, I still have to give you a congratulatory gift. "

In the end, Shangguan Lin was also a brat who had never experienced matters of the heart. Seeing Su Xinyu's attitude, he anxiously pulled her hand. Xinyu. Why do you say that? Don't you understand? I like you. I just want to be with you. I won't marry anyone else! "

She used to think that it was a wonderful thing for people who liked him or her to like him or her. She would definitely be happy in her heart, but at this moment, Su Xinyu actually felt a sour feeling in his heart. She stared at Shangguan Lin in the eyes, and slowly said: "I don't deny it, but I like you too. But I want my husband to love only me, and only me. Even you and I don't accept that. I didn't want to say it. I also don't want to embarrass everyone during the new year and make them feel flustered. But since you've said so openly. I'm not a person who hides. My requirements are very low. It's fine if you don't have money or power, even if you look like one isn't important. But my demands are high, and I must not be disloyal. In my case, women are equal to men. Men couldn't have four or three wives, not even the little girls who took their rooms. He could not go to the brothel or play games with others. This is the pair I want to have all my life. "
