As the "living catalog" of the library, Yang Ruoxian slowly turned around after answering the maid's questions, slowly raised her steps, and prepared to leave quietly.
Just like what happened outside Yang Gong's ward last night.
Once she leaves, she will stay at home and stay in her boudoir, ignoring what is going on outside the window until Mr. Su Zhe leaves Yang Mansion.
However, the moment she turned around, she saw from the corner of her eye that Mr. Su Zhesu, who had always been indifferent to her, actually... ran towards her with a smile!
laugh!
run!
And he still came towards her.
Is this still the unfathomable and unreachable Mr. Su?
Yang Ruoxian had just turned halfway and froze in place, maintaining a sideways posture. He looked at Su Xian who was running closer and closer, with doubts written on his charming face.
She raised her eyelids. To be honest, in normal times, she would have dodged away and drew her sword in her hand. She would definitely teach this prodigal son a lesson.
Yes, Su Xian was so excited, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and went straight to the other girl's operation without saying anything. It was really easy for people to misunderstand.
Is this a pervert who has never seen a woman?
Fortunately, Yang Ruoxian did not move after all.
There are two reasons. First, she dreams of easing the relationship with Su Xian. She dare not move for fear of breaking this unrealistic dream.
Secondly, through the "one-sided relationship" in the past two days, Yang Ruoxian has already determined that Mr. Su is a modest gentleman who is not good at womanizing.
This must have a profound meaning.
I'm not the kind of superficial pervert who pounces on a beautiful girl who captivates the country...
In the blink of an eye, Su Xian was getting closer and closer.
Coming as fast as a mountain.
Yang Ruoxian's heart was in her throat.
I am afraid that this unrealistic dream will disappear.
Also afraid that she might miss her, Su Xian would take the opportunity to touch her...
Fortunately, Su Xian, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped two feet away and stood there firmly, not taking another step forward.
Yang Ruoxian was inexplicably relieved.
"Are you familiar with the library?"
Su Xian looked at Yang Ruoxian's face with a face full of joy and expectation. It had been several days since he came to Yang's house, and he seemed to have just discovered her now.
"Well, no one in the Yang family is familiar with me."
Yang Ruoxian didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he endured the excitement in his heart and treated it with caution.
Although she didn't know why Su Xian changed like this, she was sure that this was a good opportunity to improve the relationship between the two.
She must hurry up and stop losing her temper.
"I'm looking for some books. Can Miss Yang help me?"
Su Xian is very familiar with her, and there is no embarrassment of ignoring her before. She pretended not to see her before, but now she is called "Miss Yang".
On the side, Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei turned aside silently, pretending not to see this scene. They knew very well how Su Xian treated Miss Yang in the past.
"Of course, what book is Mr. Su looking for?" Yang Ruoxian didn't think much about it. She just wanted to seize this opportunity and improve the stalemate between the two. Nothing else mattered.
At the moment, Su Xian was not polite and directly named several books.
He was very cautious and did not say that I was looking for Yudie as soon as he came up. That would be too ostentatious.
Yang Ruoxian took matters into his own hands and climbed up the stairs to find books for Su Xian. Su Xian followed behind. As expected, the books he ordered were easily found.
"It turned out to be hidden here."
Su Xian took out a found book, leaned against the bookshelf, and read through it as if no one was watching. As for Yang Ruoxian who helped him find the book, he didn't even say thank you.
Just leave them alone.
Yang Ruoxian didn't care, and stood silently by. Her eyes fell on Su Xian intentionally or unintentionally. Su Xian's serious and unobstructed look made her heart move inexplicably.
Mr. Su is really a gentleman who doesn't like women. He only wants to read the books of sages. In today's world, there are not many outstanding talents like Mr. Su... Yang Ruoxian is in awe.
After a while, Su Xian finished flipping through the book and put it back on the bookshelf. Then he turned to look at Yang Ruoxian and said in a casual and natural tone:
"By the way, I also want to look through the jade butterflies in your collection."
"Jade butterfly?"
Yang Ruoxian was startled, with a slightly strange look on his face. After all, the Jade Butterfly was quite special, as it recorded the hereditary genealogy of the Daqian Dynasty.
Su Xian suddenly wanted to see this, which was really strange.
Su Xian had already thought of the reason:
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Yang. I came to your residence just because I have made a great ambition to write an unparalleled history book that will cover all things."
"That's it. Mr. Su is a great talent, and I admire him very much." Yang Ruoxian nodded, and the trace of doubt on his face finally disappeared.
When Su Xian saw this, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. Could it be that today he could find the jade butterfly that was supposed to be dead and get the key clues to the former prince?
That's really great!
"But..." Yang Ruoxian's expression changed slightly and he hesitated.
"But what?" Su Xian was so anxious that he pressed Yang Ruoxian's sharp shoulders, shook them back and forth, and asked anxiously:
"Isn't Miss Yang familiar with the entire library? Could it be that... there are no jade butterflies in this building?"
"Master Su..." Yang Ruoxian's heart was pounding, and she looked sideways at Su Xian's big hand holding her shoulder, her face slightly dizzy.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Su Xian immediately took his hand back.
Yang Ruoxian quickly regrouped, looked at Su Xian and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Su. There are actually many large jade butterflies in this library, but they are relatively scattered."
"Young Master Su, you can sit downstairs for an hour or two, and let me sort it out carefully and collect all the jade butterflies together for the convenience of Young Master Su."
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you Miss Yang."
The stone hanging in Yang Ruoxian's heart has finally fallen to the ground. Mr. Su is so polite to her, which shows that this time is really the right one, and the unhappiness between the two will eventually be completely eliminated!
At the moment, Su Xian returned to the first floor of the library, sat down on a Taishi chair, read a book and drank tea, waiting leisurely.
Yang Ruoxian called several maids to organize the books together. Several masters and servants went up and downstairs from time to time, busy silently.
Su Xian is not afraid that when they are sorting out, they will shake out the letters sandwiched in the jade butterfly, because all the books in the library are tied with thin silk ribbons, so even if they fall to the ground, nothing will be revealed. .
An hour later.
Yang Ruoxian went downstairs, dragged his tired body, walked to Su Xian, gave a blessing ceremony, and said with a smile:
"Master Su, fortunately you have fulfilled your mission. All the jade butterflies that can be found are gathered together. They are on the bookshelf at Jiazi on the third floor. Master Su can browse with confidence."
"Very good!"
Su Xian was already impatient with waiting, so he got up and rushed to the third floor.
Yang Ruoxian stood behind, looking at Su Xian's retreating back, her lips slightly opened, but in the end she didn't say much.
Logically speaking, she put so much effort into organizing the books just to facilitate Su Xian. Su Xian should at least say thank you, right?
The result was nothing...
Mr. Su is a gentleman who loves books as much as his life... Yang Ruoxian comforted herself like this.
Besides, Mr. Su is the great benefactor of the entire Yang family. What if she repays Mr. Su for the sake of the family? It doesn't matter whether Mr. Su thanks you or not.
Yang Ruoxian didn't think much about it. She moved lightly and followed Su Xian to the third floor. In case Su Xian had other requests, she could immediately comply with them.
It was said that Su Xian went up to the third floor and found the bookshelf No. Jiazi at a glance. He endured the excitement in his heart and slowly took out a pair of scissors from his body.
The function of the scissors is to remove the ribbons tied to the jade butterfly.
He was ready for a big fight.
Cut off all the jade butterfly ribbons.
In this way, he should be able to find the letter that made him easy to find.
However, Yang Ruoxian followed... If Yang Ruoxian was around, he wouldn't be able to fight, otherwise it would arouse people's suspicion.
"Eh!"
Su Xian sighed secretly, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly put away the scissors.
He had no choice but to take out a book of Jade Butterfly and pretend to read it carefully.
Yang Ruoxian stood by silently, not daring to say a word so as not to disturb Su Xian.
She came here to help Su Xian solve the problem, and she couldn't help but secretly thought:
"I put down everything and stayed with Mr. Su in this library. Mr. Su must be very moved. In this way, the unhappiness between us will be completely eliminated!"
Su Xian leaned against the bookshelf, looking like he was reading Jade Butterfly carefully on the surface, but in his heart he was complaining like crazy:
"Why doesn't this woman leave? Are we just going to keep doing this? Maybe I should think of a way to drive her away. After she leaves, I can show off my skills."
"However, the reason why I was able to find these jade butterflies is indeed all due to her. Would it be too ruthless to drive them away just like that?"
"No, I'm not that kind of person. It's not my habit to burn bridges across rivers, even if she is always my enemy... That's all, just take it one step at a time."
"..."
In this way, the situation became "stalemate".
Time passed quietly.
The afternoon sun was warm and filtered through the library window, and fine dust particles were clearly discernible, floating slowly, peacefully and peacefully.
In order to pretend to be more like him, Su Xian also asked a few questions, such as the reign name of the Daqian Dynasty and some anecdotes.
Yang Ruoxian naturally knew everything and said everything. After she finished her answer, she saw Mr. Su's "satisfied face" and felt proud in her heart, secretly saying:
"In terms of familiarity with the history of the Daqian Dynasty, I am afraid that no one in the world can match me. I am answering Mr. Su's questions this time. Mr. Su will definitely be very grateful."
"In this way, it not only alleviates the unpleasantness between us, but also allows Mr. Su to see my special ability..."
"Master Su, isn't he going to write a history book? I'm afraid he will have to ask me for advice in the future. Well, I should recruit more talented people like Master Su."
"..."
While Yang Ruoxian felt good about himself, Su Xian became increasingly depressed.
It’s so hard!
Fortunately, the sun was setting in the west, dusk was approaching, and it was almost time to give Yang Gong acupuncture.
Snapped!
Su Xian closed the jade butterfly in his hand and quickly put it back on the bookshelf. He turned to Yang Ruoxian and said, "That's it for today. Miss Yang has worked hard. It's getting late, so it's time to give Mr. Yang acupuncture."
Yang Ruoxian glanced at the setting sun that came in through the window. It was still bright and formed a dazzling spot on the floor. Then he looked up at Su Xian with a look of confusion and reluctance:
"But it's not dark yet. Is it too early?"
Su Xian knew in his heart that in the past, he would perform acupuncture on Yang Gong after dark, but today it was inexplicably brought forward, so it was normal for Yang Ruoxian to be confused.
"I have my own ideas about Mr. Yang's condition."
Su Xian put his hands behind his back, explained casually, walked downstairs, and didn't care about Yang Ruoxian's opinion.
"oh."
Yang Ruoxian suddenly realized that Yang Gong's condition had improved, so the acupuncture time had to be advanced, so he stopped thinking about it and hurriedly followed Su Xian to Yang Gong's ward...
After applying the acupuncture, Su Xian stood up and walked to the library.
Yang Ruoxian saw this and hurriedly followed behind. She boasted that she was "well-informed", especially in the history of Daqian, Mr. Su would definitely use her.
Unexpectedly, when Su Xian noticed that she was following her, he stopped and said sideways:
"Miss Yang doesn't need to go to the library anymore. Mr. Yang needs someone to take care of him. I'm afraid that the maids won't be able to do a good job, so it's better for Miss Yang to be more cautious."
Yang Ruoxian was very smart and instantly guessed Su Xian's thoughts - he didn't want her to follow.
She hesitated for a long time, then finally nodded and said: "Okay, if Mr. Su has any doubts, you can send someone to ask. My little lady is always waiting for you."
"Um."
Su Xian nodded, turned around and strode away.
Yang Ruoxian was actually unwilling to give in. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot and deepen her contact with Mr. Su, but now... that's it. After watching Su Xian go away, she turned around and returned to Yang Gong's ward without mentioning it.
When Su Xian returned to the library, he ordered Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei to guard the door and prevent anyone from entering.
He kicked and stared quickly to reach the third floor. During this period, he had already taken the scissors in his hands.
Katcha!
Katcha!
Katcha!
He cut off all the silk ribbons binding the jade butterflies, then sat cross-legged on the ground, casually took the jade butterflies from the bookshelf, and flipped through one book after another.
He had a premonition that he would be rewarded tonight, and he would definitely find that damn letter!
This makes him very motivated...
However, as time went by, he had emptied most of the jade butterflies on the bookshelf. Not to mention the letters, he couldn't even see a single scrap of paper!
"I don't believe in evil."
Su Xian worked hard, cheered up, and continued to flip the remaining jade butterflies.
He firmly believed that the damn letter was hidden among the remaining jade butterflies, for sure!
However, things are unpredictable and things often backfire.
When he dropped the last Jade Butterfly, he fell silent, sat cross-legged and slumped on the ground, rubbing his brows, feeling very tired after working for so long and still getting nothing.
This is a kind of exhaustion that comes from deep inside.
If the letter cannot be found in the library of the Yang Mansion, it can only mean that the information is wrong and the clues to the former prince are completely broken...
"Maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest these past two days."
Su Xian stood up slowly, holding on to the bookshelf, and laughed at himself:
"I'm not a person who gives up easily. Let's do this for today. Go back and get some rest early, and then think of a solution tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, because he had been sitting on the ground for a long time, he suddenly stood up, his head was a little dizzy, and he was unable to stand steadily, causing him to come into close contact with the bookshelf next to him with a bang.
"Grass!"
He cursed.
At the same time, a "pop" sound came from the ear.
It seemed like... the sound of books falling to the ground.
After Su Xian stood firm, he glanced over, and then he was stunned. He slowly opened his mouth wide and was stunned. His wide eyes were filled with light, and his breathing almost stopped.
What did he see?
A thick Jade Butterfly book lay quietly on the ground. Among the opened pages, a thin, yellowed envelope suddenly came into view, with an ancient atmosphere that had been dusted for more than ten years!
