"Mr. Ji, I have the habit of worshiping Buddha every day. Now I have to go to the Buddhist hall to worship Buddha. I will be back soon." Su Ningxin returned softly, but in her heart,
[I have to go and lie down for a while. You won’t be able to see dad before being taken away by Liansheng.]
Chu Jihan wanted to stop Su Ningxin from leaving and racked his brains to think of a way. As for the reason to stop Su Ningxin, it was naturally because he was too uncomfortable to move. He had to find something to distract his attention. The only thing he could do now was Read the travel notes and ask Su Ningxin to say a few words to him.
If Su Ningxin left, he could guarantee that the two maids named Shuanghua and Xiaoan would never come in to see him again, and they would pretend they didn't hear anything he said.
But Chu Jihan really didn't know what excuse to use to stop the other party. In the past day, he used
"The wound hurts and seems to have split open. I need to remove the bandage and take a look."*6,
"I am thirsty and want a drink of water" *10,
"I'm going to clean the room. Please help me, Miss Su."*3,
"I want to eat snacks"*5,
"This travel journal is so boring, can you change it to another one?"*13,
After every excuse was used, Miss Su was too lazy to come in, and just asked the maid to go in and take a look. Later, the maid was too lazy to pay attention to him, and looked bitter and resentful every time she came in.
Just when Chu Jihan was thinking of a new excuse, Shuanghua, who had used the excuse of pruning flowers and plants to hide out, came in and said, "Girl, I'm back from duty and coming to our yard."
Chu Jihan immediately pricked up his ears, Master Su San!
"What is he doing here?" Su Ningxin said subconsciously. She had been in Xingyuan Mansion for so many days, but Mr. Su San had always tried his best to avoid getting along with her. He would only come here if she sent someone to invite him.
Did he come here because he had some trouble today, or did he rush here when he was in big trouble? Thinking about this, Su Ningxin glanced at the screen sadly, he couldn't be here to catch someone cheating.
Xiao An, who was watching at the door, ran over and said, "We have already entered the courtyard."
Su Ningxin quickly touched her hair, and there was nothing wrong. Then she stuck her head out from behind the screen and looked at Chu Jihan on the bed, "Mr. Ji, my father is here to see me, you must not say anything. "
There was some fear on her face, and her words were gentle with a hint of pleading and panic. Anyone who looked at her would feel a bit of love and pity.
Except for Chu Jihan, because he heard another sentence with an angry tone, "You'd better pray that you are not here to catch an adulterer. If you are really caught, I will say that you coerced me and drag you to the pig cage."]
Chu Jihan: "..." I am praying now that I am not here to catch an adulterer.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. If your father discovers anything, I will not implicate the girl."
Chu Jihan said with sincerity, it was just for acting, Chu Jihan felt that since he could read minds, he was a little more hypocritical than before.
As he spoke, Mr. Su San arrived in front of the house. Before entering the house, he reminded him loudly, "Is Ning'er here? Why is there not even a maid in this yard? Could it be that she is lazy?"
Shuanghua hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master is here. The little maids have gone to the kitchen to make medicine, so there is no one in the yard."
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Ningxin had packed up her clothes and sat on a chair. The teacup in front of her seemed like she had been sipping tea.
Seeing Mr. Su San come in, Su Ningxin stood up to greet him and said warmly, "Why is dad getting off work later than usual today?"
"Something happened in the government office. I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the government office all night today. I'll come back while I'm free."
Mr. Su San felt a little uncomfortable looking at Su Ning. What kind of fun was this? In the past, when he came, didn't the other party always sit still and look at him lazily, as if he was coming to worship
Although it is obvious that Su Ningxin has a better attitude now, Mr. Su San still prefers the way he got along with him before. That was the scene he and his concubine should have, rather than the current situation that makes him worried and feels that the other party is plotting. Own.
"Daddy, please sit down. Xiao An is going to get some Taiping Houkui to make tea for daddy." Su Ningxin asked Mr. Su San to sit down and then she followed suit.
However, Mr. Su San was stiff even when he sat down, thinking repeatedly in his mind whether he should not have come over or whether he had offended the empress in some way.
However, Chu Jihan behind the screen didn't feel anything was wrong. The concubine sisters in his family were like this when they saw their father, and they were several times more attentive than this.
His focus was on the Taiping Monkey King that Su Ningxin mentioned. He remembered that Shen Qing said that he had some Taiping Monkey King in his hand. It seemed that he had sent them to the Su Mansion right away. He was really attentive, tsk tsk.
"What's wrong, dad?" Su Ningxin took a sip of tea and asked.
Mr. Su San moved his body inconspicuously and decided to exchange a few words to lighten the atmosphere. "What did you do at home today?"
"It's nothing, just being a female celebrity, praying to Buddha and chanting sutras." Su Ningxin dealt with it calmly.
"So that's it, don't be too tired." The space was quiet for a moment. Mr. Su San realized that he really had nothing to say to Su Ning, so he decided to go straight to the topic.
"The official tea from the Tea Transportation Department was stolen this morning. Do you know any news?"
Su Ningxin's smiling face froze, "Dad was joking, how could I know the news?"
Mr. Su San looked around and said in a low voice, "Aren't there the secret guards of the Tea Transport Department who were watching the emperor before he ascended the throne? How could someone steal the tea?"
Listening to Mr. Su San's words, Su Ningxin almost accidentally threw a cup of tea on his face to wake him up.
Although he lowered his voice, Chu Jihan, who was only separated by a screen, could still hear it. The most intuitive manifestation was that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking porcelain from the back room.
Chu Jihan looked at the porcelain shards on the ground and was very annoyed. He was startled when he heard the words "Emperor" and "Secret Guard". He subconsciously wanted to get up, but his hand touched the plate of cloud cake, causing the plate to smash on the ground. on the ground.
The sudden sound made Mr. Su San stand up suddenly, "There is someone inside!"
Su Ningxin wanted to strangle Chu Jihan, but she could only pinch her nose to smooth things over for me.
"The maids have all gone out. It's the kitten I raised. The yard is too boring, so I found a pure white kitten to raise two days ago."
After Su Ningxin finished speaking, there was another squeaking sound of the window opening. Mr. Su San stood up uneasily, walked around the screen and went inside.
After entering, she only saw broken porcelain pieces and cloud cakes on the ground. Su Ningxin's face was calm and calm, "Daddy is too worried. It was the kitten who stole the snack and broke the plate."
At this time, a meow came from the roof outside. Su Ningxin smiled and said, "It seems that she knew she had done something wrong and was scared away."
When Su Ningxin said "I did something wrong", she felt a little bit gnashing her teeth. Chu Jihan felt that if he was in front of her, she might rush up and bite him twice.
