Chapter Ninety-Six: It's Intentional

Although there is an undercurrent behind it, at least on the surface, Shangguan Li has had a peaceful past few days.

There is no Shangguan Yue in the house, and Zhang Yuanniang doesn't know why she didn't come out to provoke her in the past few days.

She also secretly went to Zheliu Courtyard to take a look, and found that she began to live a self-cultivation life, and she either drank tea or walked in the yard every day.

However, Shangguan Li knew that this was an illusion, and Zhang Yuanniang was no longer as single-handedly covering the sky in the mansion as before.

The two heavy blows in a row hadn't made her slow down, she was either pretending to be well-behaved to win back Shangguan Xun's heart, or she was waiting for Shangguan Yue's side to stabilize her foundation.

Or both, all in all, not well-intentioned.

But since she didn't move, Shangguan Li was also happy to be idle.

Taking advantage of the past few days, she finished reading "The Scenery of the Great Zhou", and originally thought that she could see the news about Anning Town in the book, but she searched all the books and books she could find, but in the end she didn't find a single word of the record.

It seems that she has a heart to let her see it for herself.

The days passed in this slightly calm atmosphere, and Shangguan Li originally thought that he would have to wait for the emperor's summons.

After all, the matter of her sending embroidery to Feng Sichen was a loss to the royal family's face.

As a result, she even thought of her words, but there was no movement on the palace side.

It was in this slightly eerie calm atmosphere that someone finally came to the door.

"Three, third miss, that person said his surname was Shen."

Zhang Lei's expression was obviously hesitant.

It's a pity that Shangguan Li didn't notice his little abnormality because he was reading.

Hearing this, she probably guessed that it should be Shen Baiyu who came back, so she nodded.

"Got it, I'll go over now."

Shen Baiyu did not choose to visit from the main entrance, but deliberately went to the side door.

Although the side door is an import and export that can be used by all the ladies in the house, only Zhang Yuanniang and Shangguan Yue were used here.

Others use the more remote North Point Gate.

Shen Baiyu shouldn't have known about it, but Shangguan Li didn't care.

Not to mention that Zhang Yuanniang's current situation is not as good as before, even when she was in the ascendant before, Shangguan Li was never afraid of her.

The weather in the capital is getting colder and colder, the sky seems to be covered with an impenetrable fog, and the white sunlight falling on people brings a deeper chill.

Shangguan Li pushed the door out, and the person standing by the door immediately turned around.

"Gui girl...... Or the county lord? ”

Shangguan Li glanced at him quickly, and found that there was a faint tiredness between his eyebrows, and when he looked closely, there were still a few pieces of mud under the hem of his shirt, which looked like he had just returned from outside the city.

She originally thought that Shen Baiyu would at least be a little angry, although she didn't have any psychological burden, but after all, she also lied to him.

However, although Shen Baiyu's tone was a little ridiculous, the smile on the corner of his mouth was as clear and warm as ever.

Shangguan Li smiled lightly.

"We're not going to talk right here, are we?"

Shen Baiyu followed her gaze and saw the people who were cleaning up in the courtyard, and scratched her head a little shyly.

"If I was negligent, if the county lord doesn't mind, how about going to Thirteen Incense? Ah, it's already the county lord's property, and if I want to go, I need the county lord's approval. ”

Shangguan Li glanced at him.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

Although Shen Baiyu is much more respectful in terms of title, he is quite easy-going and natural in his actions.

The two went out through the side door and entered the lively long street.

"I didn't expect Miss Gui to be the county lord."

His voice was small, as if he was talking to himself.

But Shangguan Li still heard it clearly, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the words, and said lightly.

"What, if I'm the county lord, we can't be friends?"

Shen Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and then showed an extremely sincere smile.

"That's not it, it's just that I think it's a little magical, after all, Bai Yu heard a lot about the county lord as soon as he came back. Now I can't help but feel a little shocked to learn that the protagonist of the story is actually a friend I know. ”

"Hoo ......"

Shangguan Li pretended to breathe a long sigh of relief, and on his slightly turned face, there was a pair of eyes with ridicule and playfulness.

"That's great, if I lose Brother Shen because of this, I will be very upset."

Shen Baiyu was stunned firmly, and then silently turned his head away under Shangguan Li's inquiring gaze.

Seeing him like this, the smile on the corner of Shangguan Li's mouth became more and more intense, and she felt that Shen Baiyu was a bit similar to Shangguan Bu to some extent.

Clever, but a little too simple at some point.

Of course, that guy from Shangguan Bu has to study for at least another five years before he can compare to Shen Baiyu.

"The county lord Hugh wants to say so."

Shen Baiyu was silent for a long time, but finally held back such a sentence.

Shangguan Li squinted and smiled, letting him go for the time being.

Heck, it really makes people feel happy to play tricks on this honest person once in a while.

Shangguan Li was happy now, but soon she realized that she was happy too soon.

The same private room, the same angle, the same person.

The difference is that it didn't snow today, and Xuanyuan didn't blow his bamboo flute at night.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Xuanyuan Ye was still wearing a mask, but Shangguan Li felt that he had learned to catch his general expression through the cold mask.

This guy is definitely laughing right now!

"You know it yourself."

Shangguan Li dropped this sentence, and then found a place to sit down.

By the way, he also gave Shen Baiyu, who looked a little embarrassed, a look, Shen Baiyu must have known that Xuanyuan was here at night, and brought her over, it was hard to say that it was not intentional.

This feeling that someone who was still playing tricks a second ago returned a "big gift" to herself the next second, which really made her feel annoyed.

Shen Baiyu could only show an apologetic smile when she looked at her like this.

He sat down across from Shangguan Li.

"Bai Yu thought that the relationship between the county lord and Brother Xuanyuan was very good, so he ......"

Shangguan Li almost wanted to pluck out her ears to see if there was something strange inside, otherwise how could she feel that she couldn't understand what Shen Baiyu said?

She has a good relationship with Xuanyuan Night?

"What started bad on your eyes?"

Shangguan Li asked rather heavily.

"Huh?"

Shen Baiyu still didn't react.

"I think Brother Shen's vision has always been very good."

Xuanyuan Ye quickly understood her words, and walked over slowly, occupying one side of the low table.

Shangguan Li frowned slightly and looked at him.

"What did you ask me to do?"

"It's time to go."

Xuanyuan Ye spit out a sentence lightly.

Shangguan Li really felt that there was something wrong with her ears.

"Isn't it two days after the appointment?"
