Chapter 5: Apologize to Si Chen
Punishment system: "The host agrees to Qin Ding'an's banquet invitation." ”
Listening to these targets, Xia Ruo couldn't help but take a step back.
(I'm not going!)
An electric current ran from the top of Xia Ruo's head down his spine to the center of his feet.
The electricity made her almost ascend to heaven.
(Go, go!)
I'll go!
Xia Ruo gritted her teeth secretly and took the invitation.
This second prince is really a disaster, not to mention the ruin of the original owner's family, but also to harm her.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the invitation."
After receiving her affirmative reply, Qin Ding was satisfied and no longer entangled.
(Today's heroic rescue of beauty is just the beginning.) )
(At the spring banquet, this king will definitely let Xia Ruofei not marry.) )
He rolled over his horse and smiled kindly.
"This king is waiting for you, Miss Xia."
Xia Ruo's face was calm, but his heart was turbulent.
After Qin Ding'an left, Wen Ling rushed back from the opposite side of the racecourse in high spirits.
She took out two brushes from her sleeve and placed them in Xia Ruo's palm.
"Look! A-Niang won you two sheep's brushes!"
Xia Ruo gasped in pain, and Wen Ling noticed her fleshy palm.
"Who bullied you? Ah Niang go and kill him!"
Xia Ruo was aggrieved and cried in her arms.
"Woo woo Niang."
"A man in blue made a move on my horse, and I almost fell to my death."
"You and Daddy need to check it out for me."
(Whether it is him or not, this matter must be found out to Qin Dingan.) )
Wen Ling: "If you don't cry, your mother will definitely give you justice!"
Wen Ling trembled with anger and arranged for Xia Ruo to go home and stay behind to investigate the truth.
When Xia Ruo arrived home, it was already evening.
She was very sleepy, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
(Didn't I forget something.) )
"Twins."
Shuang'er: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Xia Ruo: "Is there anything I haven't done today?"
Shuang'er thought seriously for a while.
"Hmm..... No, I did all the eating, drinking, and merrymaking. ”
Xia Ruo: "It's an important thing. ”
Shuang'er: "No, Miss's daily life is just these four things, what is important." ”
"Ah, yes."
"The superintendent came to find Miss today."
"I said I had a chess appointment with Miss yesterday."
"I told him, you and your wife went to the horse farm."
"After thanking me, he left."
Xia Ruo: "I'll wipe it!"
(I put the pigeons on the thighs again?!)
(It's over, I'm dead!)
Xia Ruo quickly got dressed.
"Prepare the car, I'm going to Sichen's mansion!"
......
In the study, at the beginning of the lanterns, Si Chen was correcting the books.
Xia Ruo: "Superintendent, good afternoon!" ”
Si Chen didn't look up, nor did he answer.
Xia Ruo: (It's over, I'm angry.) )
(I'll have to be careful to coax him.) )
Xia Ruo cautiously approached, and saw that the inkstone was a little dry, so he helped him sharpen the ink and accidentally touched the wound.
"Ahh It hurts!"
Si Chen saw that she had a thick gauze wrapped in her hands, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Miss Xia, what's wrong with your hand?"
Seeing that Si Chen was willing to take care of her, Xia Ruo continued to pretend to be weak.
The little face wrinkled into a bun, sniffed, and stretched out his hand in front of Si Chen.
"I was reined with while riding."
"Superintendent, it hurts."
Her fingers were white and slender, and her nails were dyed pale pink, making Si Chen's mouth a little dry.
He coughed, avoided her hand, and got up to pour two cups of tea.
Si Chen picked up a cup of tea and drank it all.
"It's so late, Miss Xia went to the man's house, and it was not in line with the etiquette."
Xia Ruo: "I'm here to explain the reason for the no-show to the superintendent. ”
"The superintendent doesn't know, it's not Xia Ruo who deliberately broke the appointment today, it's really a mother's fate."
"I've been sick all the time, and my mother's wish is to go on another horse ride with me."
"It just so happened that I was feeling better today, so she took me to the horse farm."
"That's why I missed the contract, and I asked the company to supervise and tolerate"
Afraid of Si Chen's questioning, she coughed weakly twice.
Ahem, ahem...
Seeing Si Chen's expression, Xia Ruo smiled slightly, took the sheep's hair brush won by Wen Ling from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.
"This is something my mother won for me, so I'll take it as an apology for you!"
A trace of guilt appeared on Si Chen's face.
"Miss Xia, this is Madame's affection for your beloved son, it's too precious, Si can't accept it."
Xia Ruo: "If you don't accept it, you won't forgive me, cough cough..."
Xia Ruo frowned and coughed.
Si Chen: "That's not what Si meant. ”
Xia Ruo: "I don't believe it, unless you accept it." ”
Si Chen: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Si Mou thank you Miss Xia." ”
Si Chen put away the brush properly, and then handed the tea to Xia Ruo.
"Miss Xia, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat."
Seeing Si Chen's serious appearance, Xia Ruo couldn't help but want to tease him.
"Supervisor, have you forgiven me?"
"I want to drink it too, but my hands hurt so much that I can't hold the teacup."
"Can you feed me water?"
Seeing that Si Chen's eyes widened, Xia Ruo hurriedly added.
"That's what Shuang'er and Lian'er did."
Si Chen's face flushed slightly.
"No, men and women are not kissed."
Xia Ruo: "Okay, it's Ruo'er who is strong, cough cough." ”
The more she coughed, the worse she became, and she almost lost her breath.
Si Chen: "No ......"
"Si just doesn't want to ruin Miss's reputation."
Si Chen struggled for a moment, and finally handed the tea to Xia Ruo's mouth.
"Slow..... Drink slowly. ”
Xia Ruo pretended to look at him timidly, took his hand, lowered his head and took a sip.
Seeing this, Si Chen felt even more thirsty. He looked away, the tips of his ears reddened.
"Miss, don't look at Si like this, it's not in line with the ceremony."
He was so restrained, Xia Ruo couldn't help but think that Qin Dingan was holding his waist and not letting go.
Xia Ruo: "A gentleman like Si Jian is a lover worthy of a woman's life." ”
Hearing this, Si Chen's hand slipped, the teacup fell to the ground, shattered, and the tea splashed Xia Ruo's skirt.
Si Chen's eyes were worried, and he stepped forward to check Xia Ruo's situation.
A servant came in and cleaned up the broken porcelain.
Si Chen: "Have you been burned?"
Xia Ruo: "No, no, the tea is warm, not hot." ”
"It's just that I have to go back and change my clothes."
She winked playfully at Si Chen.
"Remember to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to play chess with me, Master."
Si Chen was embarrassed and took a step back.
"Okay."
Punishment system: "The host invites Si Chen to the Spring Banquet." ”
Xia Ruo: "That's right. ”
"Superintendent, you soiled my skirt, do you have to compensate me!"
Si Chen: "That's natural, please ask the young lady to make a price." ”
Xia Ruo: "I don't want money, I want you to accompany me to the spring banquet of the county lord of Yiyang." ”
Si Chen: "This ......"
"How can a junior official enter the banquet of the county lord of Yiyang?"
Xia Ruo: "I have a way, you don't have to worry about this." ”
"You have promised to compensate me, and the superintendent can't go back on my little girl."
Si Chen: "Okay, Si Mou obeys the order." ”
After getting a satisfactory result, Xia Ruo was satisfied, and when she jumped out of the gate and was about to get into the carriage, Si Chen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally stopped her.
"Miss Xia, don't say that in front of a man in the future, you will be misunderstood."
Xia Ruo: "What did the supervisor misunderstand?"
Si Chen's face was red and his ears were red.
"I ......"
Xia Ruojiao smiled.
"That's not a misunderstanding."
"It's Ruo'er's heart's wish."
After Xia Ruo left, Si Chen's heart was pounding.
Looking at the direction of the carriage, I couldn't help but smile.
"The ...... of the Heart's Desire"
Xia Ruo returned home and found that the air pressure at the dinner table was very low.
Xia Guangyu and Wen Ling sat at the table without saying a word.
Xia Ruo: "What's wrong?"
Seeing Xia Ruo coming back, Xia Guangyu hurriedly surrounded him.
"Baby girl, you're suffering."
"The person who harmed you, your mother has been found."
"It's the second prince Qin Ding'an."
"Tomorrow, Daddy will go to the Holy Lord to ask for an explanation."
"If you dare to harm my baby daughter, it's not easy for the king to come."
Wen Ling: "Well said! Xianggong, you are so handsome! Eat a chicken leg!"
Punishment system: "Stop Xia Guangyu from denounce Qin Ding'an." ”
Xia Ruo: (It's really you, you can say it if you want me to die.) )
Her body was slightly numb, a sign of overpower.
Xia Ruo slapped the table and stood up.
"Daddy, are you mistaken?"
"The Second Highness is the one who saved me, and there are other people who harm me."
Wen Ling: "Good daughter, he is the only one in the whole horse farm who wears a blue riding suit." ”
"If he didn't hurt you, who else could it be?"
Xia Ruo: (Woo woo, Ah Niang, people also know)
"Auntie, I may have made a mistake with the person who killed me about the color of my life-saving benefactor's clothes."
"Anyway, it's not the second prince who hurt me, you must believe your daughter!"
Xia Guangyu and Wen Ling were puzzled, but seeing that Xia Ruo was determined, the two had to nod their heads in belief.
Xia Guangyu: "Okay, then Daddy will check carefully." ”
Xia Ruo: "Mmmm! Thank you Daddy. ”
Xia Ruo breathed a long sigh of relief.
Shuang'er picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Xia Ruo's mouth.
Wen Ling: "Ruoruo, do you like that second prince?"
"If you like him, your father can ask him to marry you."
Xia Ruo was choked and coughed repeatedly, and Shuang'er hurriedly patted her on the back to calm down.
"Ahem, ahem, nothing! Mother, don't talk nonsense! ”
(Help, I don't want to die yet)
Wen Ling: "You defend him so much, my mother still thinks you are interesting to him." ”
Xia Ruo: "Mother thinks too much. ”
Wen Ling: "Then does my baby daughter have a favorite?"
Xia Ruo: "Why did you start discussing this?"
Wen Ling: "My Ruoruo is also approaching the age of leaving the cabinet, so it is appropriate to choose it earlier." ”
"Today, the second prince saved you, and A-Niang also heard about it."
"You really don't have any thoughts about the second prince?"
Xia Ruo: "My daughter is sure, definitely, and definitely doesn't like the second emperor." ”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Shuang'er's mind.
"Miss seems to like the division very much."
Withering: "Oh?"
Shuang'er: "Just now, Miss went to the superintendent's house to apologize for missing the appointment. ”
"When the supervisor sent the lady out, the lady was still reluctant to give up on the supervisor!"
Wen Ling: "Ruoruo, is this true?"
Xia Guangyu: "Baby daughter, what Shuang'er said is true?"
The two spoke in unison, leaving Xia Ruo speechless.
Si Chen's handsome face appeared in his mind, and Xia Ruo's face flushed slightly.
"Daddy, mother, let's eat first!"
Seeing Xia Ruo's blushing, the two instantly understood.
Wen Ling frowned.
"Division overseer? It's the Si Chen of Hongbunkan. ”
"He's just a Chinese scholar, his official position is too low, if he is worthy of our family, will he not be qualified!"
Xia Guangyu: "Madame's words are wrong. ”
"The old man thinks that this Si Chen's chess skills are superb and diligent and capable, and his strategy is very well written."
"In time, I will be able to grow into a pillar of the court."
"If our daughter is happy with him, I think it's a good thing."
Xia Guangyu's eyes fell on Xia Ruo.
"If you really like him, Daddy will ask the emperor for a decree to give you a marriage."
Xia Ruo: "Daddy, stop!"
Si Chen and the original owner were forced by Xia Guangyu to make a marriage before, and Si Chen hated the Xia family because of this.
If you force him to marry him now, it will only make him hate himself even more.
Xia Ruo: "I don't want to get married for the time being, please don't disturb the superintendent of the department." ”
Xia Guangyu: "How can this be considered an interruption?" Being able to marry you is a blessing that Si Chen cultivated in his previous life. ”
"He should be grateful to Dade."
Wen Ling: "Your father is right. ”
The couple's straightforward appearance made Xia Ruo a little crying and laughing.
In desperation, she could only resort to coquettish Dafa.
"Anyway, people just don't want to get married now!"
"Daddy, mom, you must not force me to marry!"
Xia Guangyu and Wen Ling glanced at each other, but they still couldn't resist Xia Ruo.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Xia Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to eat.
Wen Ling: "Master, you will call that superintendent to your home tomorrow, and I will personally inspect him." ”
Xia Ruo: "Mother, the supervisor is very busy, don't embarrass him." ”
Wen Ling nodded Xia Ruo's forehead.
"You duplicitous little girl."
"I just said that I didn't want to get married, and now I'm speaking for a foreign man."
"It seems that this Si Chen, I have to see it."
Xia Guangyu: "Follow Madame's orders!" ”
