Huh, she knew that Mrs. Qiao couldn't really keep her peace and return to the weak and easy-to-manage self she had before.
It's all pretend!
If the old lady is gone, then no matter how hard Mr. Qiao pretends, he will only become really weak in the end!
only……
Dong's brows raised, his face displeased.
The old woman became extra cautious for some reason.
She found reasons to refuse the tonics he gave her and refused to take a sip.
He gave her her favorite snack, but she said that she would eat less sweets as she got older, so she returned it to her.
She always felt that the old woman seemed to have noticed something.
But logically it shouldn’t be.
Dong didn't quite understand, so she stopped thinking about it, and her thoughts returned to Qiao Ruanxiang.
She wants to find a backer, and he won't let her succeed!
There is no moon tonight, only a row of warm yellow candles on the verandah illuminate the front.
A pair of beautiful people walked slowly.
The candlelight falls on the face from top to bottom, and as it moves around, the light and shadow get closer, closer, and further away.
Qiao Ruanxiang felt that Su Wu was a little strange today. He seemed to be angry.
Because after coming out of Rongshouyuan, he kept a cold face and said nothing.
The air around him was several degrees cooler.
Qiao Ruanxiang was not cold before, but now his fingertips were cold due to the cold air around him.
But after thinking about it, she didn't know why he was angry.
It was probably not me who made him angry. I was busy with the banquet all day today, so I had no time to make him angry. Besides, I had behaved very well just now.
That's not him. Could it be that his outer room made him angry?
Qiao Ruanxiang couldn't help but analyze secretly, it should be so.
Thinking of this, an imperceptible loneliness appeared on his face unconsciously.
She took another deep breath, forced out a smile, and tried to strike up a conversation to break the awkward silence.
"Grandma ate a lot today. I think besides us accompanying her, there should also be food she likes."
"My uncle is very close to my grandmother, so he should know what my grandmother likes to eat. Why don't my uncle tell me a few words, and I will instruct the kitchen to prepare a meal for my grandmother alone?"
"..."
There was silence around the verandah. After Qiao Ruanxiang finished speaking, there was no other sound except the distant wind.
Looking at Su Wu again, he saw a face that was stunning to the world. At this time, it seemed as if it had been frosted and it was freezing.
A pair of dark pupils were like the surface of a frozen lake on a cold night, without any ripples.
Still full of anger.
The way he looks now is completely different from when he was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Su in Rongshouyuan just now.
Why did she feel that her face was even more terrifying now than before she spoke.
It's okay for me to say this, so how can I still anger him?
Do you think you are making a lot of noise?
She had to obey this guy now, after all, he knew about Su Mo Dian's plagiarism.
This matter cannot be revealed now, otherwise it will not have the greatest effect.
It will also disrupt your own plans.
Although he verbally promised to keep it secret for the time being, he had reason to completely regret it.
Although based on her understanding of Su Wu over the years, he probably wouldn't, but people's hearts are fickle, and who knows if he would regret it just because he was unhappy.
I thought it was me who was making the noise, and the other person was in a bad mood and just wanted to be quiet.
She just kept silent.
But who knows, she stopped talking and the surroundings became even colder.
She felt so cold that the ground was covered with ice.
The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.
Su Wu was annoyed, angry and helpless.
How could she not know why she was angry!
He roared angrily in his heart, then languished again.
Well, she didn't know that she knew about the inkstone she gave him casually, and she definitely didn't know why she was angry.
He pursed his thin lips and looked at the veranda that was about to reach the end.
The tone was jerky and awkward.
"The gifts you gave to me and Han Gui were all inkstones, I know! The same gift, insincere and unintentional, I, Su Wu, would not be interested in asking for!"
Qiao Ruanxiang looked up at him in surprise.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Su Wu explained stiffly again, "I know martial arts, and my hearing is naturally different from ordinary people."
Only then did Qiao Ruanxiang realize that when she saw Su Wu's back, he should be standing by the pool not far from the pavilion.
At that small distance, if you know martial arts and have extraordinary hearing, you can indeed hear it.
It turns out he was angry because of this incident.
After I figured it out, the layer of dust covering my heart suddenly disappeared for some reason.
My mood suddenly became brighter.
She actually felt that Su Wu was very cute at this moment.
The commander of the Imperial City Division, who was decisive in external killings, told the truth, aloof, taciturn, and vicious, would get sulky and unhappy just because he received the exact same gift.
Logically speaking, shouldn't he just throw the gift away and then find the other person and give him a severe warning?
Then he looked at him with a cold face and a sulky look on his face.
It feels like a child who wants a gift without asking for it.
Cute and a bit funny.
Qiao Ruanxiang couldn't help but want to tease him.
However, her reason is still there. Now she wants to coax her brother-in-law, so she doesn't dare to tease him.
He suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, but the smile flowed to his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I was too lazy to choose the gift. However, the inkstone for you was also carefully designed by me. Although they are both gift inkstones, they are very different from Han Gui's. It is absolutely unique in the capital."
Seeing that he was still silent, Qiao Ruanxiang's eyes lit up, and he continued: "Han Gui's is a pattern. On your inkstone, I carefully carved a relief of sweet-scented osmanthus. The incense is also different, You like the scent of osmanthus flowers, so what I concocted is the scent of osmanthus flowers.
In addition, I have also replaced your ink sticks. Although they are all black on the outside, when the inkstone is opened, there are five different colors inside. When you read the file and analyze the case, it will be better to use different pen and ink to mark it. "
"Those five colors of ink took a lot of effort and effort."
At the end, Qiao Ruanxiang added another sentence.
Hearing this, Su Wu's face gradually became better.
He did notice that the reliefs were different, but he didn't look at the ink blocks.
Because it was a gift from her, he was not willing to use it at all, so he didn't know it.
Thinking of this, ripples gradually began to appear in his eyes.
Qiao Ruanxiang stared at his face motionlessly, naturally aware of his subtle expression.
Knowing that he was basically not angry anymore, he spoke again, coaxing him like a child.
"Please don't be angry, okay? I promise, I will never give you the same gift as others next time."
Su Wu really took this trick and blinked, his expression was cold and a bit arrogant, and he nodded with a hint of secret joy.
-
The imperial examination had long ended, and she sent someone to ask her eldest brother. The eldest brother, always modest, said that he had done well in the examination.
That's good.
All the test questions should be familiar to the elder brother.
This made her feel relieved.
