“I have a headache this morning. I might be sick. Go back to the front yard and report it.”
Zishu Sui looked at the gloating person in front of her with cold eyes and calmly replied.
Meanwhile, Yinxing responded and left.
Inside the room.
Zishu Sui ignored the interested man by the bed and opened the quilt on her own. A pair of small, white feet without shoes or socks landed on the floor, ready to go to the wardrobe to find a set of clothes.
Because of her sudden and unrestrained actions, Xie Yan’s gaze accidentally saw her figure, still wearing underwear, but still curvy. At the same time, he turned his head away.
Xie Yan, who had been looking down at the girl’s fragrant shoulders without any lustful thoughts just now, suddenly became ashamed and annoyed—
“Can you be considerate of me? You are still the adopted daughter of the King of Dingyang. When my father ascends the throne, he will definitely make you a princess. You should still pay attention to the defense between men and women!”
Zishu Sui was opening the cabinet door. Hearing these words that seemed to be drawing a big cake, her hand paused slightly, “If you care about these things, why did you sneak into my boudoir? I thought you didn’t care.”
“You!” Xie Yan was speechless, frowning and very unhappy.
When Zishu Sui found a set of pure white clothes and returned to the bed, Xie Yan was gone.
She silently raised her head and saw a brick on the leaky roof slowly moving back to its original place, and the vent was finally blocked.
Zishu Sui, who had changed her clothes, didn’t plan to sit and wait in the bedroom.
What did the General’s wife coming to the residence have to do with her?
Xiao Bian sent someone to invite her, which must have been after hearing the rumors, wanting to test her and see if the General’s true son could confirm her identity.
He was so suspicious that even Xiao Erlang couldn’t wait.
Although she had refused just now, Xiao Bian was not such an easy person to deal with. She was afraid that he would still find a way to make them meet.
If her identity was exposed in public, she might really be crushed to ashes.
So, Zishu Sui prepared to run.
She would hide for a few hours, saying that she went out for a walk, and come back after the people from the Hou’s residence left.
In the garden.
There was a rockery.
The tall rockery seemed to hide a mystery. There was a hole on the outside, which was dark inside, and it wouldn’t be a problem to hide a person.
Zishu Sui decided to stay here, bending over and about to enter the hole, when a cold male voice entered her ears from behind—
“Hey.”
Just one word, full of impatience.
Very familiar.
This voice seemed to be behind her, and also seemed to be above her head.
Zishu Sui felt bad. She exited the hole and looked around, but there was nothing.
Then she looked up slightly and saw someone sitting on the rockery.
His phoenix eyes were full of arrogance, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Damn it!
Why hadn’t Xie Yan left yet!
Was he crazy?
At the same time as Zishu Sui saw Xie Yan, she subconsciously scanned around, and only after seeing that no one was there did she breathe a sigh of relief, but her tone didn’t relax—
“Are you crazy? Do you really think there’s no danger in this Marquis of Wuning’s residence?”
Xie Yan didn’t seem to hear her words, as if he didn’t notice her anger. He jumped down from the rockery and landed in front of Zishu Sui, “I’m here to give you something.”
Give something?
“Why didn’t you give it just now?”
Zishu Sui frowned, not as comfortable as Xie Yan, “Xie Yan, don’t be too arrogant. These years, people outside have praised you as a martial arts genius, a war god on horseback. Do you really think you are invincible and afraid of nothing?”
This lecturing tone not only didn’t make Xie Yan irritable, but made the arrogance in his eyes even stronger, “You admitted it.”
“What?” Zishu Sui didn’t react for a moment.
The smile on the corner of Xie Yan’s mouth deepened, “I am a martial arts genius, a war god. I am the one who will be able to hold the royal seal in the future.”
Hearing his tone that seemed to be provoking and showing off his talent, Zishu Sui was really speechless.
It was okay to provoke him usually, but now they were in the tiger’s den. Was this the time to say this?
“Give me the thing and leave quickly.” Zishu Sui reached out.
Xie Yan’s smile didn’t fade. He took out a book with a blue cover from his arms and steadily placed it in her hand under the girl’s depressed gaze.
Zishu Sui was silent for a moment, looking at the words “Female Virtues” clearly presented on the cover of the book in her hand.
This book looked no different from the “Female Virtues” on the market, but unless it was Xie Yan’s prank, how could he possibly give her “Female Virtues”?
Zishu Sui opened the book, and sure enough.
The pages inside were full of records of the relationships between the aristocratic families of Yanjing.
She silently accepted this “Female Virtues” book, but when she looked up, she saw Xie Yan looking towards her back. Zishu Sui was afraid that someone would see, and subconsciously wanted to look around again.
But before she could turn her head, she saw Xie Yan restrain his smile, and his slender fingers with distinct joints suddenly raised, and his clear and low voice lingered in her ear—
“Sister, you don’t seem to care much about stealing the sword.”
Hearing this, Zishu Sui looked up at him, but ran into those deep eyes.
Eyes that had never been kind to her, clearly there was not much affection in them, but because of those natural phoenix eyes, they became extremely beautiful. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, as if they were revealing tenderness.
His voice was very light, and with a bit of malice, “I need to give you a little warning.”
Zishu Sui had a bad feeling, not only because of his eyes, but also because of his words.
What warning?
What did he want to do?
Just as Xie Yan’s fingertips were about to touch Zishu Sui’s cheek, the position that Xie Yan had just looked at suddenly heard a gloomy and angry voice—
“What are you doing!”
