Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 828 The embarrassment after drinking

He also understood what Ning Xiuyuan meant before. There was no room for change in the matter of the imperial doctor. If he persisted in going his own way, it would be counterproductive.

Ning Xiuyuan reminded him of the news in the East Palace. Firstly, he was helping Ji Wuyan, and secondly, he might also have the intention of pitting himself against the East Palace. The Ning and Bai families have always been on good terms, and when he and Dong Gong were in opposition, the Bai family had a greater chance of winning. He didn't know if Ning Xiuyuan had such intention. Maybe he was just a villain, but looking at the carriage The man who was sitting upright looked sideways and felt that this "villain's heart" was not entirely impossible.

After all, this young Imperial Master doesn't seem to be that idle.

When weighing the pros and cons, if there is no benefit, the other party is probably not willing to go through this. Shen Qian straightened his clothes, and when he turned around, he smiled to himself, "I'm old... Now this court should be dominated by young people."

……

When Shen Luoxin woke up the next day, she only felt her head hurting.

It was already broad daylight, and the setting sun in the morning streamed through the windows, casting a clear dividing line between light and darkness in the house. Shen Luoxin sat on the bed, pressing her temples and squinting at the dust rising in the sun. She could almost vividly remember the way she confessed, gossiped and acted out while drunk last night... She frowned and scratched her neck, thinking to herself: Wine is indeed not a good thing. She is not even drunk yet, yet she has done these things that even if she had ten more courages, she would not be able to do them now.

What to do now?
Living under the same roof, we can't always avoid seeing each other, right? For example, the old lady’s banquet? For example, if we bump into Ji Wuyan in the yard? Is it possible to turn around and leave? Isn't that the real three hundred taels of silver here? Shen Luoxin sat on the bed, grabbing her hair in annoyance, wishing she could go back to last night and slap herself awake!

She thought angrily, but gradually she became quiet again. She hugged her knees and sat on the bed, staring blankly at the dividing line between light and dark, and sighed softly... If she didn't say it, she would still be harboring those unhappy thoughts. Realistic fantasies, fantasizing that maybe that person may have other thoughts about you. Now, let's face it, the hanging heart is completely dead. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Girl." The knock on the door was from Xinyue.

Xinyue heard Shen Luoxin's annoyed and wailing voice in the room, and then she tentatively called out, "Is the girl awake? A stage has been set up in the mansion today and a troupe has been invited to perform. Do you want to go over and have a look, girl?"

Yesterday, the old lady indeed said that she had invited a theater troupe for them. The old man specially invited them, so naturally she was going to go. However, she still didn't know how to face Shangguan Chu at this moment, so she called Xinyue to come in and wash up, and she seemed to be there. He asked casually, "Do you know who is going to see it?"

"This..." Xinyue tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said in detail, "Of course the young master and the girl of the Chen family are going. Mr. Chen said that he was not interested so he might as well sleep a little more to recharge his energy, so he didn't go. This Doctor Chen wants to order mao, but he probably won’t be able to come. Our girl likes to sleep in, so even if we go there, it will be later...others..."

Shen Luoxin wiped her face with the warm handkerchief. The depression when she first woke up gradually dissipated in the warmth of the ironing. She nodded, thinking that Shangguan Chu would probably not go - to Master Shangguan. For me, going to the theater is a complete waste of time. It would be better to go out and make money. Thinking like this, she put down her veil, smiled, and was about to say, "Then..."

But Xinyue said "Oh!" and said, "By the way, our young master is here today. Young Master Jifeng asked for young master to accompany him, but young master couldn't resist, so he agreed... Speaking of which, young master Jifeng looked at him. She is afraid of our young master, but she is also very clingy. She is really a child at heart..." The handkerchief in Shen Luoxin's hand tightened suddenly, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Xinyue was completely unaware and asked with a smile, "Girl, what do you want to eat for breakfast? We can go over after eating... But there should be snacks prepared over there. I heard that Grandma Wang made them herself. Yes, I heard that the snacks made by Grandma Wang are delicious. The girl is taking them orally today, so you have to taste them..."

"No, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and I need to leave the house." Shen Luoxin interrupted the other party's unfinished words, handed over the handkerchief, and then said, "Go to the old lady and tell me... …I just said that I wanted to go home to find some important things, so I couldn’t watch the show anymore, so I asked her to forgive me.”

"Girl, are you going out?" Xinyue was also surprised, but she didn't ask too much. She just asked, "Shall I prepare a carriage for you?"

"No, it's not that far away. It's just a walk. I had a drink yesterday and I still have a headache when I wake up in the morning. Let's go out and have some fresh air to sober up." Shen Luoxin said, smiling and waving his hands, "Go. Well. If you want to eat Grandma Wang’s snacks but are embarrassed to tell her, just whisper to Ziqiu and ask Ziqiu to leave two for you.”

It was actually easy to guess what the little maid was thinking. Her eyes lit up when she talked about Grandma Wang's snacks, and she wanted to drool.

Sure enough, Xinyue was startled for a moment, almost shouting in surprise, "Okay! I'll go now!" After saying that, she turned around and ran away.

Shen Luoxin watched the other party cheering and going out with a smile. The corners of her mouth finally slowly drooped down, and all the smiles on her face disappeared. After a while, she sighed softly - although she knew that avoiding him was not a long-term strategy, but it was indeed The only way now is to leave some things and moods to time.

It's just that she doesn't know how long it will take...

……

Although this stage was not specially set up for Shen Luoxin, the play was indeed chosen for her and Shangguan Chu. The story of Lang Qing's concubine and her love for flowers before and under the moon, but now, while waiting, the little maid said that something suddenly happened and she couldn't come. .

The old lady was naturally disappointed and couldn't say anything. She nodded to show that she understood, but she was also wondering in her heart, why are you looking for this thing in such a hurry?

The play was still singing, and the silent wind rested on Shangguan Chu. Now he wanted to drink tea, and now he wanted to eat snacks. , patiently waiting for the little ancestor to eat and drink, and even stretched out one hand to catch the melon seed shells.

The old lady saw this and became even more annoyed - this boy was obviously very patient in taking care of his children, and he was also a good teacher and a strict father in his education. Why didn't he know how to find a girl to get married and have children?
"Ahem!" She coughed and called, "Achu... Miss Shen didn't use the carriage when she went out. You should calculate some time and pick her up later."
