Chapter 184: Just a few words

"Ma'am." The man's voice outside called, sounding a little surprised.

Li Yuejiao wrinkled slightly.

How is Chu Zhi? It's a coincidence.

Hu Rong had already stopped the car, Li Yuejiao didn't go out this time, but opened the curtains of the car slightly, and asked with a smile: "It turned out to be Chu Shilang, it's raining outside, please forgive me for being disrespectful, where is Shilang going?"

The tone was gentle, still the same as she used to, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, but also with a sense of alienation.

Chu Zhi obviously felt Li Yuejiao's estrangement, and after a pause, he felt a little unwilling, and still smiled lightly:

"I haven't seen my wife for a few days, I don't want this weather, my wife actually went out in person, did something happen?"

Li Yuejiao felt that this Lord Chu was really a little entangled.

She was in a bad mood today, and the last thing she wanted to see was the love affair between her children, so when she saw such a person, she only felt annoyed and panicked, and paused for a moment before she said

「…… I'm here to deliver something to my cousin today, and it's not too early, so I'll go back first, and please stay."

Chu Zhi saw Li Yuejiao's attitude suddenly, why couldn't he imagine why her attitude changed so much?

He wanted to stop Li Yuejiao to explain a thing or two, but before he could speak, Xue Zhen appeared on the street corner in a military uniform, and after seeing him, he was also quite surprised:

"Brother Chunliu? What a coincidence."

Hu Rong saw that it was his own general coming, and the sheep cart that had just been urged stopped again, and he sat on the side of the car and saluted respectfully:

"General."

The appearance of Xue Zhen made Chu Zhi sober up a lot.

Yes, the lady in the car has a husband, so how can she be worthy of disturbing her quiet time?

Besides, he also has an old friend with Xue Zhen, how can he have such an unliterate heart, he is really unorthodox, not like a gentleman.

But in my heart, there is still unwillingness.

Thinking about it, he restrained his smile, only smiled at Xue Zhen reluctantly, and arched his hand:

"I've seen the Son."

The attitude is still so lukewarm, and he looks like he avoids talking about business with Xue Zhen and avoids intersecting with him.

Xue Zhen had long known Chu Zhi's meticulous temperament in his errands, and he didn't do much affection, but stopped at a slightly farther away position and said:

"Brother Chunliu is coming from this road to find General Ben?"

Chu Zhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No, but the lower officials take this path, which does have something to do with the errand."

Xue Zhenjian's eyebrows raised slightly, his military uniform, with such an expression, was quite aggressive.

"That's right," he said lightly, "then the general won't delay Lord Shirou's business."

Chu Zhi bowed his head and saluted again: "In this way, the lower official will leave first, and after a while, he will have a clue, and the lower official will come to visit the prince."

Xue Zhen said "um" and didn't say anything more.

Chu Zhi couldn't stay here anymore, so he could only say to Li Yuejiao through the curtain:

"Madam, Chu took his leave first."

After being quiet for a while, Li Yuejiao's rather depressed voice came from the car: "Master Chu go slowly, I won't send it."

*

When Xue Zhen's voice came into the car, Li Yuejiao's mood today reached the peak of badness, and even the Lord Chu outside was even more unpleasant to her eyes, because she would have such a lukewarm attitude.

When Chu Zhi left, Li Yuejiao wanted Hu Rong to drive away immediately, but Xue Zhen had already arrived at the car, lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Li Yuejiao, and showed a kind smile:

"Miss is here today to deliver books?"

The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, his smile made Li Yuejiao embarrassed to continue to pick up her face.

Besides, she is now brushing her face, and he doesn't understand what's going on, but looks like he's stingy.

It was she who reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said to Xue Zhen happily: "I have met Shizi, yes, I am here to deliver books to people, and they have been delivered, and he is very happy."

She thought that she couldn't lose her temper with Xue Zhen, but she didn't know how to act, and she didn't want to do it at this time, so Xue Zhen immediately noticed her abnormality, smiled slightly, and said with concern:

"Girl, what's wrong? Are you angry?"

Li Yuejiao heard that he cared about herself, but she became even more anxious, and rarely lost her temper, frowning and grabbing Bai Dao:

"What's wrong with me, and what does it have to do with the Son? Whether I am angry or not, and what does it have to do with the son? I want you to take care of me."

Xue Zhen was suddenly stunned by her, and everyone froze in place, looking at Li Yuejiao blankly, with a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, it was rare to have some grievances.

He just cared about her, why was she angry?

He wanted to explain something, but he was afraid of making Li Yuejiao even more angry, so he pondered in his heart for a long time, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Li Yuejiao was so happy that she lost her temper for a while, and when she saw Xue Zhen's expression like this, she was depressed and irritable, but she also felt a little guilty, and even wanted to apologize to him.

But after thinking about it, this bit of guilt made Li Yuejiao unhappy again, so she simply turned her head and said to Hu Rong:

"Brother Hu, let's go."

Where did Hu Rong know what happened between them? But since it wasn't for him to persuade, he didn't speak, just gave up his hand to Xue Zhen and drove the sheep cart home.

Even the clouds in the car were rarely afraid to speak, so they only sat next to Li Yuejiao and gently beat her legs.

Xue Zhen sighed, led the horse, and walked beside the car.

Fortunately, Hu Rong still remembered that Xue Zhen was the son of the world and the general of Zhenbei, so the car drove quite slowly.

In this way, a cart and a horse, in the light rain of the spring night in Anhua County, walked quietly and slowly.

It wasn't very quiet, with the sound of horses' hooves, sheep's hooves, wheels, and the sound of rain.

"Miss Li," in the end, it was Xue Zhen who spoke first, breaking the silence, "I picked up the flying pigeon in Beijing today, Senior Sister Ling and Brother Ling have returned to the capital safely, and your family is fine, you don't have to worry."

Senior sister and sixth brother have already arrived in the capital? Li Yuejiao's sullen heart was a little happier for this news.

「…… Thank you Shizi, and please help me thank General Wen." She pulled herself together and spoke

Xue Zhen could distinguish the emotion in her tone, and knew that she was really in a better mood this time, so he smiled.

Perhaps, she wasn't angry with herself.

"Miss Li." He called again.

Li Yuejiao had the heart to ignore him, but after thinking about it again, someone had just told him a piece of news, wouldn't it be hypocritical for him to do this? Then he answered:

"Huh?"

Didn't say much.

"When today's girl is ingenious, will she suffer? Although my people were there, it was not convenient for them to come forward at that time." Xue Zhen said.

Li Yuejiao still remembered that Xue Zhen had instructed him to look at the business of the six clans, smiled lightly, and said:

"No, Shopkeeper Feng is not a fool, how can I really suffer, the book borrowing is quite smooth, the son of the world has a heart."

Xue Zhen heard her say such a long sentence, only when her mood improved, she even smiled a little more, and said:

"That's the best, cousin...... Happy, aren't you?"

Li Yuejiao recalled all kinds of things at that time.

Happy? He doesn't look so much like he's happy, it's more like he's always remembering.

She suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Xue Zhen in the drizzle, and wanted to ask him something, but then realized that he was drenched in the rain.

But the young general, dressed in armor and leading his horse, walked slowly forward with his head held high, without the slightest hint of discomfort or embarrassment.

Li Yuejiao suddenly blamed herself.

Rarely would she have been so oblivious to the embarrassment of others.

I don't know why, she remembered the rainy night when he took her back to Beijing, he rode this horse, ran into the rainy night, was injured by Jiang Du, and his left arm was useless from then on.

Her gaze fell on his left shoulder, before regretting it

I was busy asking how his shoulder injury was, so that now that she looked like this, she couldn't ask anymore.

"The Son."

"Huh?" Xue Zhen looked at her.

"Umbrella." Li Yuejiao took the oil-paper umbrella next to the car and handed it out from the window.

Xue Zhen was stunned for a moment, suddenly his eyebrows and eyes were bent with a smile, and he reached out to take the umbrella.

But when he smiled, Li Yuejiao immediately regretted it again, but the umbrella had already been handed out, did she still want to come back? I had to fall off the curtain of the car in a negative mood, and secretly scolded myself in my heart for being unproductive.

Outside the car, Xue Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you girl, I thought the girl was angry with me, but it wasn't."

It's not good, he thought.

I'm just mad at you, she thought.

But after thinking about it again, Li Yuejiao felt that she was still more angry with herself.

"Miss Li, do you have anything to tell me?" Xue Zhen held an umbrella in one hand and led a horse in the other, and asked her.

Li Yuejiao didn't want to talk to him again, but in the end, it mattered, so she had to open the car curtains again and ask:

"Does the prince remember his cousin?"

Xue Zhen was surprised that she would ask this, and said strangely, "Why did you ask about this? Of course I remember."

Li Yuejiao replied, "It's because after I gave him the book, he talked to me about my cousin for a long time, and I knew that this book was what my cousin wanted when she was alive."

Xue Zhen was silent for a moment and asked, "What did he tell you about his cousin?"

Li Yuejiao roughly repeated Du Day's words.

Xue Zhen listened to it, and only felt even more surprised.

"He...... So much to tell you? It is indeed rare," he shook his head and sighed, "and he has not mentioned it to me for many years since my cousin died."

"Ah, is that so?" Li Yuejiao was really surprised, "Didn't he even mention his cousin's jealousy and birthday?"

Xue Zhen shook his head: "Don't mention it. But he does have a deep affection for his cousin, and you should know that my cousin is also a strange woman of the last generation, and I was only eleven when she first married. Madame knows that I like to play with flowers and plants, right? When my cousin saw her, she taught me some tips on how to grow flowers, and gave me two pots of excellent orchids...... It's just a pity that the sky is not a holiday."

When Li Yuejiao heard this, she sighed for a while, and then asked, "Shizi, what kind of illness did my cousin die of?"

Xue Zhen didn't answer immediately, but met her gaze, and only shook his head after a while:

"She didn't die."

"Huh?" Li Yuejiao was taken aback, but since she married to the Hou Mansion, she has always heard that she died of illness.

Xue Zhen sighed and said slowly:

"My cousin died of poisoning, and when she died, she was also a corpse with two lives."

Li Yuejiao gasped when she heard this.

How could it be so coincidental?!
