Chapter 29 Let’s elope!
Song Shiwei turned around and looked at the man who appeared in her room.
He didn't come a few days ago, and she thought he had reformed.
It turned out that she was overthinking.
"The prince is no less than that. He likes to listen to people's stories."
Song Shiwei sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and said, "Why is your Highness here again? Are you here to urge me to make clothes for you again?"
She pointed to the bamboo basket and said, "It's already being done. Do you want to take a look?"
Xiao Jingheng looked at the bamboo basket that she had hidden so tightly that nothing could be seen, but he actually felt a little itchy.
I just look at it now, and there will be no surprise when I receive it.
He smiled and said, "I'm not here to urge you, I'm here to tell you that the person you asked me to find has been found. He is seriously ill, but he can still be saved."
When Song Shiwei heard that he had found Nanny Feng, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled as she said, "Thank you, but I haven't found the answer to the question you asked me to find out yet."
Xiao Jingheng looked at her and asked, "Do we have to be so clear about the matter between you and me?"
This woman doesn't seem to want to owe anyone any favors.
Song Shiwei shrugged: "Since it is a cooperative relationship, we must calculate it clearly, otherwise you will suffer a loss, Your Majesty."
"How do you know that I don't like to suffer losses?"
Xiao Jingheng snorted, picked up the tea she had just poured, drank it in one gulp, and asked her: "What is your plan for dealing with it next?"
He wanted Song Shiwei to divorce and draw a clear line with the Shen family, but he didn't want her to be labeled as a jinx and be criticized by everyone.
Song Shiwei poured another cup of tea for Jamel Xiao and said, “You don’t have to do anything.”
Xiao Jingheng frowned and said, "Since Zhou has intervened in this matter, I believe she must have bribed Taoist Zixu to prove your unlucky fate.
If you do nothing, won't you just let them throw dirty water on you? "
Song Shiwei said: “That’s because Your Majesty, you don’t understand Madam Shen.
Even if she heard from Taoist Zixu that I had a noble destiny and was blessed by heaven, she would not believe it.
Because her prejudice against me has long been deeply rooted, even if Taoist Zixu changed his words, she would go to others to verify it until she found the one who said that I have a bad fate.
There are so many people in the world who are proficient in this art. Can we bribe them all? What's more,..."
She narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked confident of winning: "I am sure that this matter will not hurt me, but will make Old Madam Shen and Zhou suffer the consequences. Does the prince dare to make a bet with me?"
"Oh?"
Xiao Jingheng raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What are you betting on?"
Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Whoever loses will have to promise the other party one thing."
"no problem."
Xiao Jingheng picked up the teacup in front of him and said to her, "It's a deal."
Song Shiwei raised the full cup of tea and clinked cups with his, thus sealing the bet.
After putting down the teacup, she began to chase the guests away again: "I'm going to sleep, Your Majesty, you can leave now."
Xiao Jingheng: “…”
He is chased away every time he comes. When will she be merciful enough to not chase him away?
Xiao Jingheng sighed and was about to get up when he heard the sound of rain outside the window, and the rain was quite heavy.
His eyes lit up, and he stayed still, unable to hide the smile on his lips: "I'm afraid I can't leave.
It's raining so hard outside, you shouldn't be so cruel, right?"
Song Shiwei choked. She opened the window and saw that it was raining heavily.
After closing the window, she turned around and glared at Jamel Xiao and said, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Xiao Jingheng said: "Don't wrongly accuse me. I'm not a god, how can I know it will rain tonight?"
Facts have proved that he knew it. After so many years of marching and fighting, how could a general not have the ability to observe the weather?
Song Shiwei wanted to be a heartless person, but he came tonight to tell her that he had found Nanny Feng.
It wouldn't be a good idea to just drive people out like this, and no one knows when the rain will stop.
After thinking for a moment, Song Shiwei turned around, took out a quilt from the cabinet and threw it to Jamel Xiao, saying, "You sleep on the floor."
Having said that, she walked straight to the bed and lay down with her clothes on.
Xiao Jingheng subconsciously caught the bedding she threw to him. Although he had to sleep on the floor, it was better than being kicked out.
He made the bedding and lay down on it carelessly.
Song Shiwei had her back to him. She always felt a little uncomfortable with the presence of another person in the room, especially since this person had had physical contact with her.
Who knows if he will sneak into her bed in the middle of the night while she is sleeping? After all, men are unreliable.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xiao Jingheng ask her: "Are you asleep?"
How could Song Shiwei sleep? She didn't even turn her head and asked in a bad voice, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Jingheng said: "Since you can't sleep, why don't we chat? Have you ever thought about what to do after the divorce?"
Song Shiwei lay down and stared at the embroidered bed curtains above her head in a daze.
After the divorce, she must return to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion to uncover her father's true face and seek justice for the Xu family and her mother.
After taking all the revenge, she went out to travel and see the world.
"do not know."
She didn't tell Xiao Jingheng her thoughts.
Xiao Jingheng said: "After I find out the truth about the Huo family's chaos, I want to travel around the world. Do you want to come with me?"
Song Shiwei was shocked, wondering if this man could read her mind.
She turned over and looked at Jamel Xiao who was lying on the ground.
His handsome face looked gentle under the candlelight.
When she looked at him, his eyes happened to be cast over to her too.
The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stood still.
For a moment, Song Shiwei felt as if she was bewitched by something. She forgot to think and where she was. She just stared at his face, and the more she looked, the more handsome he became.
People really have no resistance to beautiful things. No wonder people often say that beauty is seductive, and Xiao Jingheng does have some beauty in him.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Song Shiwei quickly retracted her gaze, restrained her thoughts and said, "Who wants to go with you?"
It sounds like we're going to elope.
Thinking of this, Song Shiwei's eyes darkened and she thought of that person again.
When she learned that her father was going to take her back to Beijing and find a marriage for her, she mustered up the courage to say to the man, "Shall we elope?
I don't mind that you're ugly, and I don't mind that you can't speak, let's just get away from here, okay?"
The man seemed to be shocked by her words. His eyes under the silver mask were filled with shock and he did not react for a long time.
However, Song Shiwei understood his hesitation. In order to save her face, she laughed and said, "I was just kidding you. Look how scared you are. I don't like you."
She did scare him.
The night she said "let's elope", he left without saying goodbye and never came back from him again.
