Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 472 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (9)

Without thinking too much, she started eating the tender and succulent crab meat lion's head meatballs. The clear soup chicken was also good, with tender white meat and a clear, refreshing soup.

Zhao Heng doesn't usually eat much, except on the battlefield. To let Shen Shuyi relax and eat slowly, he also slowed down his pace. He only started eating the soup after the girl had finished eating and stopped using her chopsticks.

Shen Shuyi noticed that she had actually eaten more than half of the dishes on the table.

Zhao Heng noticed this as well. No wonder the little girl looked so healthy; she had a good appetite. With someone eating so heartily beside her, he couldn't help but eat a few more bites as well.

After lunch, Shen Shuyi, who had a habit of taking a nap, got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Heng personally saw her out and gestured to the steward beside him. Steward Liu brought over two boxes, and when they were opened, they saw a pair of jade ruyi scepters and a gold abacus on the silk.

"Your Highness, this is..."

"A housewarming gift for you."

"I really like it, thank you." Shen Shuyi smiled and took the box, while Jingxian, who was beside her, took it and held it in his hands.

She could get such a good thing just by visiting the Prince's mansion, so she should visit more often.

Hearing her thoughts, 66 added: "As long as you get Zhao Heng, you'll have half of the entire Prince Su's mansion. You can have as much gold and silver as you want then."

Shen Shuyi smiled demurely, "Am I that kind of person who covets money?"

System 66: Hehe QAQ
Back in the carriage, Shen Shuyi couldn't resist taking out the jade ruyi and touching it. It felt incredibly smooth and warm to the touch. She then pressed it against her face, finding it very comfortable.

I couldn't resist turning the abacus a few more times. Tsk tsk, the sound is so nice.

When Shen Shuyi returned to Tingyu Manor, she saw a group of people standing in front of the courtyard. Lvwu and Guhong were blocking Shen Feng, the uninvited guest, at the gate.

Relying on Gu Hong's martial arts skills and the fact that the young lady had entrusted her with managing the household, Lü Wu boldly put her hands on her hips and confronted Shen Feng.

"Please leave quickly, Young Master Shen, as Miss is not home."

"Where did she go?" Shen Feng frowned. Shen Shuyi, a weak woman, was running around everywhere. As the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, she had no manners at all.

He heard the sound of a carriage, turned around and saw a fair and slender hand reaching out from inside the carriage, followed by Shen Shuyi getting off the carriage.

As she walked in the wind, she swayed like a willow in the breeze, sunlight falling on her fair and flawless face. After a few days apart, she seemed to have become even more beautiful.

It gave Shen Feng a feeling of being in another world.

The sister who treated him like a brother ten years ago now saw only coldness and indifference in his eyes. He even saw disgust and impatience in Shen Shuyi's eyes.

Shen Feng felt a chill run down his spine, and a surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside him.

"Shuyi, where have you been? Do you know I've been waiting for you here for an hour!"

Shen Shuyi slightly raised her delicate chin and looked at him with cold eyes. "Shen Feng, I have already moved out of the General's Mansion, which means I don't want to have any contact with you anymore. What's the point of you, a grown man, coming here to bother me?"

"Besides, you're not my biological brother, what right do you have to question my whereabouts?"

Her resounding words made the veins on the back of Shen Feng's hand bulge, and his tone turned colder, "I have come here on my father's orders to take you back to the General's Mansion."

"What if I don't go back? Are you going to kidnap me?"

"I volunteered to return to Luoyang with you, but how did the people in the General's Mansion treat me?"

Shen Feng's expression froze. "Shuyi, how could you become so cold-blooded and heartless? You don't even recognize your own father anymore? And you don't recognize me either?!"

Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her, adopting a resistant posture. "If you try to take me away by force today, then we'll fight to the death. As long as I'm alive, I'll make a scene before His Majesty and ask him to settle this family matter."

This was a blatant threat. Shen Feng thought she was crazy. How could the Emperor possibly concern himself with the family affairs of his ministers? The Emperor would only use such trivial matters as pretexts to punish his father. He wouldn't get away with it either.
Shen Feng's brows were furrowed tightly.

"You are always the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and you have an inescapable responsibility for the prosperity of the family. Your father wants you to come home for the palace banquet next month."

Shen Shuyi snorted lightly, "Go and tell him that I will attend the palace banquet on time, and that we can forget about everything else." "As for you, stop bothering me. You should keep an eye on Shen Qingyi. Her affair with the Fourth Prince has been seen by everyone. You can deceive yourself all you want."

Her eyes were incredibly cold, as if she could see right through Shen Feng's thoughts.

Shen Feng panicked upon hearing this, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Get out!" Shen Shuyi pointed to the road ahead.

Unable to do anything to her, Shen Feng could only turn and leave in anger.

Shen Shuyi watched his departing figure and sneered, "What a coward. You don't deserve to inherit the General's Mansion."

……

Three days later, Shen Shuyi went to Prince Su's residence again to give Zhao Heng acupuncture.

Before the acupuncture, as usual, Zhao Heng inquired about his condition. He looked much more relaxed. "Miss Shen's medical skills are superb. I feel much better. Yesterday's rain also relieved my chest tightness and pain."

Zhao Heng recalled that when it rained yesterday, he was reading at his desk in the study. The feeling of suffocation that came with the downpour surged into his heart. He subconsciously picked up the sachet embroidered with lotus flowers that he wore at his waist and took a light sniff. The fragrance wafted over and the suffocation dissipated.

Suddenly, Shen Shuyi's bright smile flashed through his mind, and an unexpected ripple stirred in his heart.

Shen Shuyi opened her silver needle kit and began acupuncture on Zhao Heng as she had done before. Last time, she had the desire but not the courage to look at the man's body too much, but this time, taking advantage of being behind him, she brazenly looked at Zhao Heng's strong and powerful back and his long and handsome neck.
Zhao Heng was a martial artist with keen senses and had already noticed the unusual gaze from behind him.

He hadn't expected the girl to be so bold as to take the opportunity to peek at him.

As Shen Shuyi finished her needlework, she said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, it's springtime now, and you might want to go out for a stroll and relax."

The Shangsi Festival is just a few days away.
Zhao Heng's tone was somewhat indifferent, "I prefer quiet."

Especially after being deposed as crown prince, he generally wouldn't go out unless it was for important matters, not wanting to see the strange looks he received from others.

Shen Shuyi didn't insist, only mentioning the benefits of relaxation for recovery, and stopped there.

This time, as usual, Zhao Heng invited her to stay for lunch.

Shen Shuyi asked Zhao Heng, "I've arrived early today, and there's still some time before dinner. May I borrow a few books to read?"

Zhao Heng was also worried that she might get bored staying in the palace, so he said, "Come with me."

Shen Shuyi followed him to the study. She hesitated at the doorway for a moment, then asked, "May I come in?"

Studies are typically important places, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

"It's alright, come in."

As Shen Shuyi entered, she saw rows of neatly arranged books. His Highness the Crown Prince, or rather, Prince Su, truly lived up to his reputation as a man of both literary and martial talents.

Zhao Heng led her to a bookshelf. "I don't know what kind of books you like to read. There are many strange tales and records here, as well as a pharmacopoeia."

"I never expected Your Highness to be interested in the pharmacopoeia. You are truly knowledgeable."

"I only read the tip of the iceberg." He only had the opportunity to read these classics after he was crippled by poisoning and retired to his residence.

"Miss Shen, please feel free to browse. I have some official business to attend to before me."

"it is good."

Shen Shuyi didn't rush to look through the medical books. She planned to borrow one to read quietly when she left. Now, it would be more suitable to pass the time by reading some strange tales.

Some of the books were placed very high, but luckily there was a wooden ladder nearby. She took off her shoes, raised her hands, and climbed up.
