At the end of the banquet, Xi Duanhong had the illusion that she was being watched secretly. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
"Miss Xi, please stay."
Xi Duanhong looked back at the person behind him and stopped with a smile when he saw it was a young boy, "What's wrong?"
"I heard everything you said today. Do you plan to enter the court?"
Xi Duanhong smiled and shook his head and walked out. He stood under the eaves and looked up at the night sky. "I don't think it is a good thing to become an official in the court."
The corners of Qingtong's lips under the mask rose up, he was very satisfied with her answer, and the two of them fell into silence for a while.
When Chief Chen walked out of the house, he happened to see the two of them standing outside the door admiring the moon, so he smiled and went over to chat.
"Why are you two standing here?"
After reacting, Xi Duanhong bowed and saluted, "I've seen Chief Chen."
On the contrary, Qingtong was indifferent, and Chief Chen did not say anything. He nodded and smiled at the two of them, "Congratulations, you won this event."
Xi Duanhong waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is all the work of Mr. Mu and Mr. Gu. Qingtong and I didn't do anything, right, Qingtong?"
As she spoke, Xi Duanhong pushed the young boy beside him. The young boy who was lost in thought was immediately brought back to his senses by her push, and nodded silently, "Yes."
Chen Shuli couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at the person in front of him. As a boss, he had to pay attention to his image at all times, so he tried very hard to hold back his smile.
His obviously suppressed smile was looked at by the young boy - silent.
Chen Shuli coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "Okay, Miss Xi, you can go back and rest first. We have a class tomorrow, so don't be late."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now."
Xi Duanhong hummed a ditty and left in a happy mood.
--quiet
Chen Shuli didn't speak, and neither did Qingtong. He couldn't bear it any longer. Chen Shuli opened his folding fan and looked at Qingtong with a smile, "Sir, are you satisfied today?"
"What were you laughing at just now?" Qingtong asked coldly, "Did something big happen?"
Chen Shuli led the two of them forward, "A secret agent came to report that your Majesty will purge the ministers in the court in the near future, and ordered the imperial advisor to be invited back to the palace."
"Oh?" Qingtong stopped and faced the direction of the palace with interest, "Things are getting more and more interesting. Is there anything going on in the pavilion?"
Chen Shuli said respectfully, "Sir, no."
"Let's go. If there is any news from the court, let me know as soon as possible."
"yes."
——
The second day.
News spread in the academy that Nan Lian's father had been demoted and dismissed, and the entire academy exploded.
Nan Lian also became the subject of discussion in the entire academy. People who had been bullied by her in the past were insulting her, but Le Feng was still obedient and did not dare to resist.
After class, Xi Duanhong came to visit Le Feng at her residence. When he saw her doing hard work like a servant, he immediately rushed over.
Xi Duanhong screamed and pulled Le Feng's blistered, white and wrinkled hands, "A Feng! What are you doing?!"
Le Feng was obviously startled by the sudden appearance of Xi Duanhong. He quickly pulled his hand back behind his back and stammered: "No, it's nothing..."
"Your hands are soaked and wrinkled, and you still say it's nothing. Is someone bullying you?!"
"It's really okay," Le Feng nervously wanted to push Xi Duanhong out of here, "I, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Why does Xi Duanhong care about this? "Did that Nan bully you again? I'll go find her for comment!"
Le Feng shouted anxiously, "Xi Duanhong, can you please leave me alone!"
This was the first time in her life that she spoke so loudly. Xi Duanhong looked at Le Feng behind her in surprise. She didn't understand why she would rather suffer than go to Nan Lian to reason.
"Xi Duanhong, Miss Xi, please let me beg you, please, don't worry about me anymore!" The wet red eyes were particularly dazzling in Xi Duanhong's eyes, Le Feng choked and said: "Please, don't come here again. It’s mine, please do it well!”
For the first time, Xi Duanhong felt that he was so unnecessary and that he had done the wrong thing with good intentions...
——"Don't you understand? She suffered because you stepped forward rashly. They can't do anything to you, but they can do harm to her."
"Why! You have the ability to attack me, but you actually bully Afeng!"
"Miss Xi, this is the way the world is, what can you do? Forget it, don't cause trouble for Miss Le Feng anymore..."
Am I really looking for trouble for her...
Xi Duanhong couldn't believe it, his eyes were dull, he shook his head and left.
