Chapter 350 Testing
She's a lady from a noble family, but she's so vicious. She can't stand others having good fortune after her own face was ruined.
But his coming tonight gave me an excuse to find Xie Yunche, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned me for so long.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Xie Yunche's attitude seemed different today. Could it be that he discovered some problems during the investigation?
That shouldn’t be the case. It has been handled very well. There shouldn’t be any problem.
What Shen Jiaojiao didn't know was that Xie Yunci once told him that if there is often no problem with something, that is the biggest problem, and everything cannot be perfect.
Xie Yunche also remembered this incident, so he became a little wary of Shen Jiaojiao, but not much.
In his mind, there was no problem with Shen Jiaojiao's identity. He had rescued her from the refugees himself.
However, his identity is different now, so he has to be wary of people around him to avoid giving anyone with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of him.
……
Shen Li arrived at the dock early the next morning, preparing to take a boat to Suzhou. As for Pei Yu's luxury ship here, there was no need to waste manpower and resources on it alone.
At the entrance of Lushan Academy, Su Zhihui sat in a carriage and watched the students coming out of the academy.
She also knew that her actions were somewhat inappropriate, but Ali was right. She had to fight for it and not regret it later.
It's just that it's a bit too deliberate here, "Hurry up and go to the alley in front."
"Yes, ma'am."
That was the only way for Shen Qian'an to go home after school, so he didn't wait there at the entrance of the academy.
Sitting in the carriage, nervously clutching her handkerchief, she wondered what impression Ali's fourth brother had of her.
I thought about it in my mind. It seems that I didn't do anything out of line when I went to Shen's house before. It's just that when I was alone with Ali, I was not as dignified as I was in public. It should be fine!
"Miss, the fourth young master Shen is here."
Dong Shuang just didn't know why her mistress came to see Shen Qian'an. If she knew, she, a maid, would be unable to do anything to her master.
Su Zhihui hurriedly touched her hair and found that it was not messy. Then she straightened her clothes and listened beside the car curtain, waiting for Dong Shuang and Shen Qian'an to talk.
"Fourth Young Master Shen."
Shen Qi'an stood with his hands behind his back, obviously recognizing Dong Shuang, "Miss Dong Shuang, what do you want from me?"
Dong Shuang shook her head, "Master Shen, I'm not the one looking for you. It's my young lady who's looking for you. Please come into the carriage and have a chat."
Shen Qian'an glanced at the alley. There were not many pedestrians and it was relatively quiet. However, the carriage was cramped, with a man and a woman alone, and he was afraid that it would ruin Miss Su's reputation.
Going home would be even more inappropriate. After thinking about it, there was a teahouse not far away, so he said, "This is not a good place to talk. There is a teahouse in front. I'll go get a private room. You guys can come over later."
Su Zhihui stretched out her fingers and gently scratched the car wall twice. Dong Shuang understood and said, "Okay."
Su Zhihui's cheeks felt slightly hot. After he reminded her, she realized that what she had done today was indeed too reckless.
Scholars value their reputation the most, especially those who are planning to take the imperial examinations. If she tarnished Shen Qian'an's reputation, she would be blamed for it.
Shen Qi'an walked in a quarter of an hour ahead, and Su Zhihui walked over slowly when she thought he had already been sitting in the teahouse for a while.
Shen Li was riding in a carriage heading towards Shen Qian'an's residence. When she was almost there, she passed by another carriage and her brows furrowed slightly.
It was not that he recognized the carriage, he just saw a familiar person, and the guards following him seemed to be those of Ah Hui.
She did not rashly use her mental power to investigate. Everyone has privacy, and she was not that free.
I lifted the curtain and looked back. The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse. It was indeed Su Zhihui.
He should be out to take care of personal matters. Thinking of this, Shen Li stopped paying attention.
Su Zhihui came to the tea room, where Shen Qian'an was sitting, making tea. His movements were smooth and beautiful, and his face was very pleasing to the eye.
"Miss Su, please." He poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it over, then took a sip from it himself. "Miss Su, what can I do for you today?"
There was no one else in the private room. Her personal maid was guarding outside. Su Zhihui paused in her action of holding the teacup. A blush appeared at her ears, but her face was still calm.
"Nothing, I just came to see my brother today, and when I saw you, I remembered that I had something to tell you, so I was waiting for you there."
Shen Qian'an was such a smart man that he could tell that what he said was inconsistent. Moreover, he had just talked with Su Heng when he was leaving Lushan Academy and learned that Su Heng would be living in the academy during this period of time.
Judging from what Miss Su said, she probably hasn't met his brother yet.
While Su Zi lowered her head to drink tea, Shen Qian'an looked at her several times without saying a word. The girl had delicate makeup today and her clothes were not as dignified and elegant as usual. Instead, she looked lively like a little girl.
When he looked away, he inadvertently saw her slightly red earlobe. Thinking of his somewhat shy behavior today, an idea popped into his mind.
"What does Miss Su want from me?"
Su Zhihui clenched her left hand in her sleeve. She embroidered a purse overnight. She was too embarrassed to say those explicit words, so she could only be tactful.
When he looked up, he met Shen Qian'an's deep eyes, and completely forgot what he had prepared. "I, I..."
Shen Qianan poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Miss Su, don't be anxious. Talk slowly."
Seeing his gentle behavior, an absurd thought suddenly occurred to my mind: Is he also so gentle to others?
She had never seen Shen Qi'an with any other girls, only Ali and herself, so she felt a little uneasy, but she still mustered up the courage to ask.
"Shen Qi'an, what kind of girl do you like?"
Shen Qi'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered her question seriously, "Lively and cheerful."
Su Zhihui was shocked. Does that mean there is no hope for her, a dignified lady from a noble family?
If Shen Li knew what she was thinking, she would definitely shake her shoulders and ask her, can you have a clearer understanding of yourself?
"Why does Miss Su ask this?"
"Oh, my eldest brother said he wants to introduce a girl to you."
Su Zhihui was distracted, with a conflicting feeling in her mind. She was stunned when she said this and subconsciously held her breath. When she came to her senses, their eyes met and her little face turned red.
Shen Qi'an was obviously stunned. Introducing girls? This was not something a girl like her should say, and her demeanor did not seem to match what she said.
