Walking out of the Rain House, Su Xiao Jin and Xi Er looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.

The moon was high in the sky now, and they were walking leisurely along the long corridor. The water lotuses were blooming like a raging fire, and the moonlight was dancing on the petals as it slipped by a tranquil stream of light.

"Miss, the Second Miss' expression today is really ugly." Xiu-Er said as she walked.

Su Xiao Jin seemed to be in a daze, and did not respond to Xi Er's words, but the little girl was still muttering to herself: "Master, I don't know what happened today, but you suddenly became different to Miss and even scolded Second Young Miss. You should know, Second Young Miss is the apple of his eye, and he has never been scolded before, if Second Madam knew about this, wouldn't she die from anger? "Now that young mistress is back, we can no longer be foolish. Young Master Shen will definitely marry you in a few days. At that time, we can leave this sorrowful place."

Su Xiao Jin turned her face to the side and looked at Xi Er's excited expression. The corner of her mouth raised as she held onto Xi Er's hand and said, "Xi Er, remember this well. Do not reveal that I have recovered."

Xi Er said in confusion, "They can't know, even Young Master Shen can't know? You must know that Young Master Shen has a deep infatuation for his mistress. If not for him, Second Madam and the rest might have caused your death. "

"Then Shen Zhi Xiao is really that good?" Su Xiao Jin suddenly stopped and looked at the bright moon in the sky as she muttered to herself.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon a lush tree not far away. That tree was extremely lush, with lush green leaves fluttering in the wind. At this moment, Su Xiao Jin saw a person squatting on the tree.

Seemingly sensing Su Xiaojin's gaze, that person suddenly leapt off the walls of the Prime Minister's Residence like a cat. Su Xiaojin's eyes widened. She had just arrived in the ancient times and never thought that there would actually be someone with such martial arts. One must know that he had flown from a tree to a wall. The legendary Qing Gong? "Su Xiao Jin was excited, it seems like this ancient era really had some interesting things to learn. Should she also learn a few moves?

Xiu-Er asked curiously, "Miss, what's wrong?" As she spoke, she cast her gaze towards the direction that Su Xiao Jin was looking, only to see a large tree standing there silently.

Su Xiao Jin lowered her gaze. Since he was able to come and go freely in this Prime Minister's Estate that was heavily guarded, then he must be an extreme expert. Who was he? He had been looking at her, could it be that she was the target? Thinking of this, Su Xiao Jin couldn't help but feel nervous. Xiao Xi'er became a little anxious and said: "Miss, if you keep staring blankly like this, Young Master Shen will have to wait for you."

Su Xiao Jin nodded and decided to go see Shen Zhi Xiao first. As for that person, he will pay attention to him later. Thinking of this, she followed Xiu-Er to the main hall.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a white-clothed scholar came out to welcome him. This white-clothed scholar had a refined and refined air, and his appearance was as light as ink, as if he had been drawn with a few simple strokes.

He looked at Su Xiao Jin who was covered in dirt, he took a step forward and pulled her hand and asked: "Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Have you suffered a lot these past few days? Why did it suddenly disappear? I've almost flipped through the entire capital, do you know? "

Su Xiao Jin raised her eyes and looked at the anxious Shen Zhi Xiao. His voice was just like his appearance, gentle and gentle like spring water. It flowed through her heart, making her feel exceptionally comfortable.

Xi Er quickly said, "Young Master Shen, our young miss had just been wronged by the second young miss and was almost beaten to death by her maidservant. If the old master hadn't arrived in time, you really wouldn't have been able to see our young miss again." As she spoke, she shed a few tears out of grievance.

Shen Zhi Xiao wrinkled his brows, holding onto Su Xiao Jin's hand, saying with some heartache: "Did Second Miss Gu bully you again?" While speaking, he raised his eyes and saw a fallen leaf on top of Su Xiao Jin's bun, he gently lifted his hand and took off the green leaf, carefully smoothing her hair, his voice echoing above her head: "I thought you didn't want to marry me, so you ran away from home. These few days, I have always been extremely remorseful. If you don't want to, I will absolutely not force you. "

Su Xiao Jin was shocked as she looked at Shen Zhi Xiao. She frowned as she sized him up with suspicion in her eyes. However, everything about this man somehow made her feel at ease. Looking at Shen Zhixiao, Su Xiao Jin even felt that her previous conjecture was too disgusting.

"Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you? Why are you not saying anything? Are you still afraid? " Seeing Su Xiao Jin's silly look, Shen Zhi Xiao was a little worried.

Su Xiao Jin was speechless. She wanted to say something as well, but she didn't know how Su Xiao Jin had talked to Shen Zhi Xiao in the past. When she thought here, she decided to just not do it. She hugged Shen Zhi Xiao and started to cry.

He then slowly extended his hand out and carefully held Su Xiao Jin. He then gently patted her head and said: "It's fine, cousin is here. From now on, no one is allowed to bully you again."

Carrying Su Xiao Jin to the main hall, Shen Zhi Xiao took out a cuboid box from the table. Opening it, he saw that the inside of the box was made with exquisite workmanship. Su Xiao Jin's eyes lit up. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but felt that her hand was a bit dirty and a bit embarrassed.

Shen Zhi Xiao smiled lightly as he touched her head and said, "I specially sent someone to Jiangnan to find the best embroidery lady to sew it for you. The material is also very good. Do you like it?"

Although Su Xiaojin didn't study these silks, from the softness of the cloth and the exquisite embroidery work, she knew that these were definitely not ordinary goods.

She stammered as if she wanted to say something, but she was a bit embarrassed. Looking at her in this manner, it seemed even more suspicious. She hurriedly lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you."

He carefully closed the box and sat next to Su Xiaojin, softly saying, "Our Little Jin has grown up, to think that she would actually say thank you to me."

She had always thought that she was intelligent and had interacted with a lot of dirty people. However, she had never thought that there would ever be a day when she would be at a loss in front of such a gentle and refined man. She even thought that cheating such a person was simply too shameless.

While pouring tea for the two of them, she said, "Young Master Shen, our Young Miss will be smarter in the future. I just hope that Young Master will treat our Young Miss well."

Su Xiao Jin lifted her leg and lightly kicked Xi'er. She didn't know what to do, but she didn't say that she liked Shen Zhi Xiao. Moreover, the one who married Shen Zhi Xiao was the real Su Xiao Jin. Thinking about this, she was a little worried. If he really wanted to marry Shen Zhi Xiao, what would she do? Thinking of this, her face turned red again.

Right at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside, and the Prime Minister hurriedly walked in. Seeing Shen Zhi Xiao and Su Xiao Jin sitting opposite of each other, one smiling while the other looked down without saying a word, he suddenly had the feeling that the two of them were already newlyweds.

Upon seeing Gu Zhiqiu enter, Su Xiao Jin slowly stood up from her seat. Shen Zhi Xiao, on the other hand, slowly stood up, clasped her hands together, and respectfully said, "Lord Prime Minister." Looking at Su Xiao Jin, who was hiding behind him, her eyes were filled with fear as she stared at Gu Zhi Qiu.

Gu Zhiqiu raised an eyebrow, his expression uncertain. Shen Zhi Xiao hurriedly said, "Xiao Jin, this is your father. You don't have to be afraid. Greetings to your father."

Su Xiao Jin shook her head, as if she was extremely against this father. She didn't know what the old Su Xiaojin had looked like, but now, she would rather play the fool until the end than open her mouth and call such a man "daddy."

Gu Zhiqiu waved his hand. "Forget it. Now is not the time to talk about this. The emperor has come."

Shen Zhixiao was a little surprised. "Why did the emperor suddenly come over?"

Gu Zhi Qiu was about to say something when she saw Su Xiao Jin's face turn pale. She frowned and asked: "Xiao Jin, are you not feeling well?"

At this moment, Su Xiao Jin's heart was already in turmoil, that man … Coming? When she thought of the things she did in the palace that morning, she immediately fell into a state of disarray …

Su Xiao Jin's body stiffened as she stood in the middle of the hall, her heart was in a state of turmoil. In the next moment, her body went soft, and she fell backwards, while Shen Zhi Xiao had already held onto her waist, anxiously asking: "Xiao Jin, what's wrong?"

Su Xiao Jin only felt her whole body being surrounded by warmth. For a moment, her cheeks were red, and she was unable to breathe. She tightly closed her eyes, afraid that she would be exposed, and muttered in her heart, "Oh god, you made Shen Zhixiao think I was unconscious."

Gu Zhiqiu frowned, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart. He quickly said to the guard beside him, "Call the doctor over!"

Su Xiao Jin opened her eyes slowly and muttered: "I …" My stomach hurts … I want to crouch. " Well, she thought, I didn't mean it.

The two men felt awkward, and Little Qiao hurriedly jumped up and said, "Aiya, it must be because Miss ate the leftovers from the kitchen tonight and has a stomach upset. When she was just brought here, she was already weak. Now …" As she spoke, she walked over with tears in her eyes to support Su Xiao Jin.

Su Xiaojin would never let her say such words in the past. Although her young miss was a fool, she had been treated coldly since childhood. After living for so long, she knew how to be afraid and how to bring disaster upon herself …

Su Xiao Jin also held onto her stomach and shouted: "It hurts …" "Ugh …" Immediately, two streams of tears fell down her cheeks.

Although he didn't like Su Xiaojin, he never thought that he would let her eat leftovers. Although Gu Jingqi caused trouble for him a few times previously, he had slightly indulged his second daughter, but because he was busy with government affairs, he didn't have time to think too much about it.
