When I came out and sat on the carriage, it was already dark outside.
A Tao spread out Bai Yu'an's hair, thinking that she would go back later, so she tied it up behind her head.
Bai Yuan sat in the carriage and thought about things quietly.
She remembered the medicine her mother gave her when she was a child. That medicine prevented her from drinking sunflower water like other women.
It's just that she didn't take any more medicine when she was rushing to take the exam. Could this be the reason?
If it was growing as Su Gu said, it would probably be more troublesome in the future. Bai Yu'an thought about going back and writing a letter and asking her mother to send the prescription.
While he was thinking deeply, A Tao said again: "Master, it's time to take off your clothes."
Only then did Bai Yu'an remember that she was still wearing women's clothes. Just as he was about to unbuckle his belt and take off his clothes, the carriage suddenly jolted, and then the carriage tilted. Bai Yu'an was holding on to the wall of the carriage, and he was thrown into the carriage. Outside.
A Tao was frightened when she saw this, and hurriedly ran out to help Bai Yu'an who fell to the ground.
The driver in front also ran to Bai Yu'an in a panic: "Sir, this section of the road is too dark, and the wheels hit the stone steps on the side of the road."
Fortunately, the night was too dark, and the coachman didn't notice Bai Yu'an's clothes.
Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and asked, "Can the carriage still go?"
The driver said, "I'm going to check the wheels. If there's no problem, I should be able to go on the road."
Bai Yu'an nodded and was about to get into the carriage when a rambling voice came from behind him.
"Master Bai, what are you doing here?"
Bai Yu'an's body froze, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Jue walking over with a lantern.
Without much thought, Bai Yu'an quickly opened the curtain and got into the carriage, then quickly took off the woman's clothes outside.
Just as he was halfway through taking off the car, the curtain of the car next to him was opened, and Shen Jue's deep voice sounded: "I'm calling you, what are you hiding from, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Yu'an's face turned pale, thinking that luckily the carriage was dark and Shen Jue couldn't see anything.
She hurriedly stretched her head to the car window, blocking that window with half her body, and pretended to be calm and said to Shen Jue, "I didn't hear Shen Shoufu's voice just now. Don't be surprised, Shen Shoufu."
As Bai Yu'an spoke, he took off his coat without forgetting to hold on to his hands.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yuan's face on the car window. Under the dim light and the lantern, the face seemed to be dyed with peach blossoms.
A thin layer of red pink dyed it, and there was a bit of ambiguous weariness, not as strange and alienated as in the past.
It's just that the red light reflected in those eyes is flickering, and he can see through his lies at a glance.
Shen Jue pursed her lips, glanced at Bai Yu'an with sharp eyes, and then looked at A Tao who looked a little flustered next to her.
With just a slight step, he opened the carriage curtain and leaned in.
Bai Yu'an was startled by Shen Jue's sudden leaning in. She frowned with a pale face and pretended to be calm: "What does Chief Shen want to come in to see?"
At this moment, Bai Yu'an had taken off A Tao's clothes and was sitting in a somewhat confident position.
Shen Jue didn't say anything, he lifted the lantern and shined it in.
Bai Yu'an was seen sitting in his seat, with his hair tied low on his head. The green enamel hairpin shone under the lantern, softening Bai Yu'an's usually cold face.
On the moon-white clothes were his hanging black hair, and a few strands fell on his ears, falling on his unbearable shoulders.
He looked down again and saw a woman's robe falling at the feet of the clear Bai Yu'an.
His expression suddenly turned gloomy, and then he sneered: "Master Bai is so interested that you can't even wait in the carriage?"
Bai Yu'an was stunned and looked at the clothes at his feet, wondering whether Shen Jue had misunderstood something.
She pretended to be calm and picked up her shirt from the ground, looked at Shen Jue and asked, "Why is Chief Shen here?"
Shen Jue felt that Bai Yuan's question was funny, but he still said in a low voice: "I live with Mr. Bai, but we just met on the road."
He glanced at Bai Yu'an who was sitting inside and didn't want to speak at all, thinking that in front of him, Bai Yu'an was the only one who could be so unrestrained.
His face was calm, but his eyes were focused on Bai Yu'an: "Master Bai, won't you come out and speak?"
Bai Yu'an knew that it was inappropriate to talk to people like this, but now she was not wearing a corset. Although the light of the lantern was dim, Shen Jue was not easy to fool, and there was no guarantee that Shen Jue would not notice anything when she went out.
Just as he was thinking about how to fool him, the coachman outside suddenly walked to the window and said, "Sir, the wheel of the carriage is cracked."
Bai Yu'an asked hurriedly: "What should we do?"
The driver said: "Now I can only go back and get another cart to replace it."
Shen Jue glanced at Bai Yu'an who was sitting inside: "Why don't Master Bai take my carriage back?"
Bai Yu'an was naturally unwilling: "Shen Shoufu is busy on weekdays, so it's better to go back first. I can just wait here."
Shen Jue frowned deeply, feeling unhappy as he looked at Bai Yu'an who was still sitting in the carriage without even moving his buttocks.
Bai Yu'an was avoiding him like this. Could it be that in his eyes, he was a man-eating beast.
His face darkened, and Shen Jue's voice was filled with mockery: "There is still a long way to go back here."
"Master Bai would rather wait than ride in my carriage. Could it be that he thinks that I will do something to Master Bai?"
"Master Bai is so ungrateful. It seems he doesn't take me to heart."
Shen Jue had reached this point, and Bai Yu'an knew that it would be inappropriate to refuse further.
Although he knew that Shen Jue had good intentions, Bai Yu'an still preferred to offend Shen Jue rather than reveal his identity.
If it were another person, Bai Yu'an might be able to fool him, but Shen Jue's eyes seemed to be unable to hide anything.
He was very thoughtful, and she really didn't have the confidence to prevent him from seeing something.
And this person actually knew that she had no marriage in her hometown. He had obviously asked someone to check her. If Shen Jue really became suspicious of her identity, Bai Yu'an would lose ten of his heads.
She clasped her hands and said humbly: "Shoufu Shen misunderstood. It's just that Xiaguan fell down outside just now. His body is covered in mud and he doesn't dare to dirty his carriage."
"Shoufu Shen's good intentions are appreciated by the officials."
Bai Yu'an's words were sincere, and her eyebrows were downcast, thinking that Shen Jue would not embarrass her.
There was a sneer on Shen Jue's lips. Bai Yu'an's attitude at this moment seemed to respect him as the chief minister of the cabinet, but he didn't believe his nonsense.
