Chapter 37
Xue Shu walked all the way in one breath before she dared to stop to catch her breath.

The more flustered you are, the more you can see a person's etiquette.

Although Xue Shu walked hurriedly and quickly, she didn't see the slightest bit of distress, not even a single strand of hair was messed up, but her breath was a little unsteady.

"Huh..." Turning her head, she could no longer see Chu Chu's figure, and Xue Shu breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death..."

Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why does it look like Miss Xue is very afraid of that Miss Chu?"

From his point of view, Miss Chu is not a scourge, so Xue Shu is so afraid of it.

"I'm a little scared." Xue Shu nodded approvingly.

What she was afraid of was not Chu Chu, but herself who would lose control when she saw Chu Chu.

In her previous life, she pushed herself into a situation where she could never recover because of losing control again and again.

Every time you suffer, you have to gain a lot of wisdom. Since losing control is inevitable, she simply hid far away.

"Today's shopping is almost done, why don't we go back?" Qingyu was a little worried about her.

Xue Shu nodded.

They only visited one store and bought all the things. They had to sigh again that it was convenient to buy things for men.

"Well... hey, no," Xue Shu originally wanted to agree casually, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a slender and tall figure beside her, and suddenly changed her words, with a smile all over her face, "Mr. Jing, What else do you want to buy?"

Qingyu twitched her lips quietly, but seeing that her daughter still had the strength to be courteous, she thought it would be fine.

She grew up with Xue Shu, and there is a natural tacit understanding with Xue Shu. Even if Xue Shu doesn't say anything, Qingyu can guess Xue Shu's thoughts just by her actions.

Seeing that her girl is so attentive to Jing Xing, she knows what her girl wants to do even by moving her finger!
So Qingyu stamped her feet anxiously, and said, "Girl, why are you still only thinking about Mr. Jing at this time! Now we should hurry back and rest!"

Xue Shu patted her hand comfortingly, then looked at Jing Xing with a smile.

Jing Xing suddenly felt a little funny. He raised his hand and pressed the center of his brows, and said softly: "I understand what Miss Xue wants. It's just that it takes time to make wine, and Miss Xue has to wait patiently. Miss Xue is not feeling well, just Go back and rest now."

Naturally, he and Xue Shu don't have that kind of tacit understanding.

But he is smart.

He knew that Xue Shu loved to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and that Xue Chen had given her the key to the wine cellar. Combining the two things, the answer was not difficult to guess.

Xue Shu was also a little surprised that Jing Xing was so upbeat.

But a gentleman's words are hard to follow, Jing Xing always keeps what he says, so Xue Shu didn't delay any longer and left happily.

-

As soon as they arrived near Zuo Xiang's mansion, they heard a commotion outside. It seemed that someone was making a scene not far away, and their words were harsh.

But this place is in front of Zuo Xiang's mansion, surrounded by the mansions of important ministers, the law and order are high, who dares to act wild here.

"What's going on?" Qingyu opened the curtain, and at a glance, she saw a fat man in brocade yelling loudly in front of Zuoxiang's mansion, but none of the gatekeepers and guards of Zuoxiang's mansion dared to stop them, they just stood at the door. Form a human wall to prevent him from entering.

Qingyu squinted her eyes, saw the people outside the gate of the Qing Mansion, and quickly stopped the driver: "Stop! Turn around, let's go back through the side door!"

"Yes!" The coachman hastily reined in the reins, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the side door.

Qingyu put down the curtain, sat back in the carriage, and said: "Miss, outside is Changshenghou, shouting at the door, he doesn't look like a Marquis at all!"

"Marquis Changsheng?" Xue Shu frowned.

She didn't care whether Chang Sheng Hou had the dignity of the so-called Lord Hou, but she was just curious why Chang Sheng Hou came to make a scene at the gate of Zuo Xiang's mansion.

Calculating the time, it should be the court meeting just now, and it is estimated that something big happened in the court today.

Since she was reborn, although not long ago, many things have changed, so she is not sure what happened today.

Xue Shu's face became serious, and she sat upright: "Tell the coachman to hurry up."

"Yes!" Qingyu didn't dare to neglect, she quickly lifted the curtain and urged the coachman.

The coachman flicked the rein quickly, and the horse began to trot obediently.

The carriage stopped steadily at the side door, Xue Shu got off the carriage and went straight to Tingzhu Garden.

Xue Chen was cooking tea in the house, and he wasn't going to go out today, so he only wore a loose bamboo green robe, and his long hair was simply tied behind him, without even a hair crown.

He sat quietly at the tea table, held the teapot in one hand, and directly poured boiling water into the cup. Immediately, a unique fragrance of tea spread slowly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, before Xue Chen raised his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You came very quickly."

Xue Shu sat down opposite Xue Chen, she came all the way, her breath was a little confused: "When we came back, we saw Marquis Changsheng at the gate, but did something happen at the court meeting today?"

Xue Chen nodded, pouring tea for Xue Shu, and said: "At the court meeting today, His Majesty scolded Marquis Changsheng angrily, saying that he was incompetent in raising his son, unfaithful in marriage, and hurt the heart of Zuo Xiangfu, and ordered him to come to the door to make amends. To see the aftermath."

So fast?
Xue Shu was a little surprised.

She originally thought that it would be good to dispose of the Changshenghou Mansion before the Chinese New Year, but she did not expect His Majesty to act so swiftly and so quickly.

"Looking at the aftermath..." Xue Shu murmured, "Since His Majesty has made up his mind to strike at the Marquis of Changsheng, then His Majesty must have given father some instructions."

"That's right," Xue Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Your Majesty said that no matter how much the Marquis of Changsheng tosses about, he will tell his father not to take care of him. I estimate that if it is fast, it will take only a month or two, and the Marquis of the Marquis of Changsheng will be as soon as possible." I can't keep it."

"That's good..." Xue Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and only then did she think about drinking tea.

She was worried at first that with Xue Yue's idiot temperament, maybe Xue Yue would set up the steps as soon as Chang Sheng Hou came to the door, and if the matter of the marriage between the two families was brought up again, Xue Shu would be killed alive. He vomited blood.

But since His Majesty has made it clear, she doesn't have to worry.

After all, no matter how stupid Xue Yue was, he would understand in his heart that His Majesty had the final say on this court and this world.

Seeing that she was finally relieved, Xue Chen also hooked the corners of his lips: "I didn't expect you to come back so fast, have you bought all the things you should buy?"

Xue Shu nodded and sighed: "Yes, it's just a few clothes. Shopping for men is fast, and one store can buy them all. If it's for women, there should be at least one store for clothes, one store for jewelry, and one store for shoes. There is still one store, just go on shopping one by one, and it will be dark."

Xue Chen laughed and said, "You are right."

He was a little curious, whether it was really as exaggerated as Xue Shu said when women bought clothes.

Next time you get a chance, you can try it yourself.
