When Lin Shuxian received this "inexplicable" gift, she was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Changfeng stepped into the room nervously and apprehensively like a young boy holding the newly selected jewelry for Lin Shuxian.
Lin Shuxian was in the inner room, and he didn't get to see her at first glance.
Just like the teenage years when love first started, Yan Changfeng's palms were slightly sweaty. He cleared his throat and called softly: "Shu Xian..."
Lin Shuxian heard his call, opened the bead curtain and walked out before she could put down the ruler.
"You're back?"
"Well..." Yan Changfeng's eyes paused slightly when he saw the ruler in her hand.
Lin Shuxian seemed unaware, she played with the ruler which felt good in hand, and slowly sat down: "Didn't I send someone to tell you that I won't come back for dinner today, and I want to be a guest at the Prince's Mansion?"
Yan Changfeng's heart was in his throat, "I have something to do and I'll leave first."
Lin Shuxian didn't ask any more questions. She quietly ordered her servants to prepare a meal for Yan Changfeng.
"I've already used it, you can use it yourself."
She was a little tired. She had listened to what Lu Qing said and wanted to find a time to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, but he was either busy with official duties or not coming back to the house recently, so she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
There seemed to be a chance today, but she was a little in the mood.
"Concubine Zhao often complains that she doesn't feel well, please see what to do." After saying this, Lin Shuxian wanted to leave.
She wouldn't even eat with him like before.
Realizing this, Yan Changfeng felt uncontrollable sadness in his heart.
He handed out the small box in a panic: "Shuxian, I saw a pair of bracelets that suit you very well today. Do you want to try them?"
Lin Shuxian was surprised: "You bought it for me? Don't you have time?"
Where do you find the time to buy a bracelet? It was difficult for her to even see him.
Yan Changfeng was ashamed: "It's my fault..."
Seeing that he was about to fall into endless self-blame and introspection, Lin Shuxian raised her hand to interrupt: "You have a meal. If you finish it early, go back and rest early."
She told him to go back to his own yard.
Yan Changfeng was in a hurry and grabbed her wrist: "Shuxian..."
The fire in Lin Shuxian's heart was immediately ignited by this, and she said coldly: "If you don't have time, then don't meet me. You are not the only one who is tired."
Each cold word tore at Yan Changfeng's heart. He was unable to defend himself and simply admitted his mistake: "It was my fault..."
But Lin Shuxian hated his confession so much that she hit him on the arm with a ruler. She deliberately held back her strength, and Yan Changfeng stopped in pain.
Still unable to understand her hatred, she was like the most stern master in school, commanding expressionlessly: "Spread your hands."
Yan Changfeng did not dare to disobey and spread his palms.
Bang bang bang——
The solid umbrella fell in his palm, Lin Shuxian said coldly: "Apart from admitting your mistake, what else will you do? So what if you are wrong, can you and I make peace?"
Yan Changfeng's heart was completely tugged, sending out waves of pain that could not be ignored. He said hoarsely: "No, we are not getting along."
"You are not in harmony, you are avoiding me again, and you still hope that I will love you as before. Yan Wuchen, you are really too greedy!" Lin Shuxian's eyes sparkled with tears, but she did not cry, "What do you think I am? Do you think I can’t live without you or something?”
Yan Changfeng was about to step forward, but Lin Shuxian raised her ruler and scolded her coldly: "Think about it first and then tell me. Don't think of me as a fool. If you say 'wrong', you think I will forgive you again and again!"
She put away the ruler and walked into the inner room resolutely.
Naturally, Yan Changfeng had nothing to eat.
**
Lu Qing saw Lin Shuxian in Jinxiyuan.
She blinked a few times, this was a rare visitor.
"Come in and sit down." She greeted warmly.
As soon as Lin Shuxian sat down, she told Hungry Lu Qing that she had beaten Yan Changfeng last night.
Originally, the scandal of the family should not be made public, but the ruler was given by Lu Qing, and she used it easily, so there was no harm in talking about it.
"I wanted to have a good chat, but then I thought about it, why should I keep coaxing him nicely when he did something wrong?" Lin Shuxian was furious, "He was wrong when he kept talking. I don't think he was right at all. I don’t know where I went wrong.”
Lu Qing encouraged her: "Many men are like this. They don't have delicate thoughts, but it can't be said that they don't have you in their hearts."
But this makes people feel even more annoying. If you still want to live with him, the only way is to train him well.
Lin Shuxian got lucky and took a sip of tea to temporarily suppress her anger. She said: "That ruler you gave me is wonderful. I use it very well."
Lu Qing pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly. She felt really sorry for King Qi, but she felt happy for Lin Shuxian.
On the other side, Yan Changfeng sat blankly behind the desk, staring at his beaten hand over and over again.
He was beaten by his princess, but he didn't dare to tell anyone.
On the one hand, it was to protect his own face, and on the other hand, he also agreed with Lin Shuxian's punishment on him.
This is the method that Yan Changfeng is not very accepting of.
When he caught a glimpse of someone approaching, he put down his hand as if nothing had happened. When the figure stopped in front of him, Yan Fuguang's face slowly appeared in his sight.
"Why do I see that my second brother is not very skillful today?"
Yan Changfeng's back was tense. He realized that Yan Fuguang would not know about his scandal, so he pretended to cough twice, rubbed his wrist and said, "It seems something has changed. My hand feels a little uncomfortable."
change of weather? Are you afraid that someone's good days are coming to an end?
Yan Fuguang didn't reveal it, so he put a bottle of medicine in front of Yan Changfeng: "In this case, let this bottle of medicine be given to the second brother. Apply it to the injured area and rub it. It will be relieved soon."
Yan Changfeng refused: "No, it's not a trivial matter."
Yan Fuguang raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "I'm really not afraid of minor illnesses. I'm just afraid that this disease won't be able to get rid of its roots. It's better to accept it. I'm afraid there will be many opportunities to use it in the future."
He had good eyes, and he could tell at a glance that something had hurt Yan Changfeng's slightly swollen palms.
Yan Fuguang praised Luqing in his heart over and over again for delivering the gift in a timely manner, which simply opened up a new way for Yan Changfeng and Lin Shuxian to get along as husband and wife.
Yan Changfeng was keenly aware that there was something in his words, but it was difficult for him to ask.
Yan Fuguang didn't say anything, and he pretended not to know, but his increasingly red ears gave him away.
Which prince would tell anyone after being beaten with a ruler by the princess? He won't do it anyway, because he wants to save face.
Yan Changfeng insisted on keeping this shameful secret in his heart, adhering to the principle that no one would know if he didn't tell it.
The next night, he went to Lin Shuxian's yard again. He didn't reflect on himself enough, and saw Lin Shuxian taking out her ruler again.
She didn't want to hit him. After all, they were a couple, not a student and a wife. The ruler only served as a warning.
Yan Changfeng couldn't help but wonder when he saw that she had not taken action yet.
He was willing to let her vent, and it was just a slap on the palm of his hand, which would definitely not be comparable to the suffering she had suffered during this period of time.
