Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The two of them were arguing seriously, and after walking for a while, Chao Hua remembered the existence of Shen Huaixu. She reined in her horse and turned her head to see Shen Huaixu following not far away, riding the horse with one hand and holding a bow and arrow with the other.

"Shen Huaixu, why don't you say anything?"

Shen Huaixu slowed down, leisurely crossed Cheng Ze's horse, and rode side by side with Chao Hua. She tilted her head and looked at Chao Hua for a long time with a meaningful look, then glanced at Cheng Ze who was keeping a distance from them behind her, and she sighed softly.

"I really believed your lies."

Chaohua:?

"Why did you believe my lies?"

Seeing her confused face, Shen Huaixu deliberately lowered his voice, "Is there any misunderstanding between the two of you?"

After hearing Chao Hua's aggrieved accusation, she thought Cheng Ze was just a person with bad intentions. But his behavior made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at Cheng Ze coldly as if he was winking at a blind man. Then she realized that this was the misunderstanding caused by not having a mouth.

"What misunderstanding?" Chao Hua was puzzled. "There is no misunderstanding between him and me!"

After saying that, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Did you hear something just now?"

Shen Huaixu nodded, "I have good hearing. You guys were running and chasing each other, and the noise was so loud, it was hard not to hear it."

Recalling the conversation just now, Chao Hua belatedly felt a little awkward. She turned her head and glared at Cheng Ze before muttering, "Don't talk nonsense, he...he is full of sweet talk!"

Cheng Ze felt something was wrong after being glared at. He calmly asked the horse to go faster.

"Oh?" Shen Huaixu glanced at her, "What's your purpose in saying sweet words?"

"Nature, nature..."

Chaohua racked her brains and finally came to the conclusion that perhaps, as Shen Huaixu said, Cheng was doing it for her father, the Crown Prince, and her mother, the Crown Princess.

Suddenly she opened her eyes wide. In the storybook, the unfaithful man used sweet words just to deceive the lady and even seduce her to elope with him!

For a moment, she seemed to see her miserable future self.

Chao Hua stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.

After a while, she asked Shen Huaixu in a low voice: "Could it be true as you said, that he is after my future power and status? To cling to the imperial power? No, Cheng Ze is not so shameless, or has he become unrecognizable to me after not seeing him for so many years..."

Shen Huaixu: “…”

Why does she always feel that this young General Cheng will hate her in the future?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately felt a sharp gaze falling on her back, like an ice blade transformed into a knife, trying to stab her through.

Fu Yin in the space had been paying attention to what was happening on Shen Huaixu's side. At this moment, he put down his pen and paid attention to the man named Cheng Ze.

He was reviewing memorials just now, and he listened to the conversation between Shen Huaixu and Chaohua while multitasking. He knew that this man named Cheng Ze had feelings for Chaohua.

He thought coldly, isn't it too useless to blame others for not being able to handle the person you like?

At this time, facing Chaohua, Shen Huaixu was still sighing that the stumbling block on the road to Cheng Ze and Chaohua's marriage, apart from Chaohua himself, was probably her.

She coughed, interrupting Chaohua's whimsical mumbling, "Chaohua, I just believed your words before, without any intention of speculation, that is, um, about this matter, is it possible that there are not so many twists and turns, maybe General Cheng is sincere to you?"

Chaohua was choked by the last sentence, his cheeks flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed, and he was speechless for a long time.

Cheng Ze vaguely heard what Shen Huaixu said, and felt much calmer. He no longer glared at Shen Huaixu, but only paid attention to Chao Hua's reaction.

Shen Huaixu stopped and raised the bow and arrow in his hand, "We have wasted so much time, it's time to get down to business. Let's go!"

After saying that, she threw the reins, shouted "go!", and galloped towards the dense forest ahead.

Not long after entering the dense forest, Shen Huaixu hunted a rabbit, and the young eunuch who had been following them immediately stepped forward and picked up the rabbit.

Just as she was about to look for other prey, she heard Chao Hua calling her.

Chao Hua, who had just gotten rid of the awkward feeling, walked to Shen Huaixu's side, blushing as he glanced at Cheng Ze who was not far away, "I think you're wrong. How can I be so fond of someone like him? I don't believe it."

Shen Huaixu glanced at her and stated the fact, "Your face is almost as red as a monkey's butt."

"You..." Chaohua's face turned even redder, now he was angry, "Your words are vulgar!"

Shen Huaixu waved his hand indifferently, "We'll discuss this later. Wake up and stop thinking about General Cheng. Do you know why we came out today?"

Chao Hua glanced at Shen Huaixu after hearing this and said, "Shen Huaixu, Shen Huaixu, you really dare to say anything. Fortunately, I have a good temper..."

"Do you want to eat the meat I grilled for you?"

"...I want to." She swallowed.

The two men reached a consensus and soon immersed themselves in the joy of hunting, forgetting about General Cheng behind them.

Among the three of them, Chaohua is the atmosphere group, Cheng is here specifically to protect Chaohua, and only Shen Huaixu is concentrating on hunting.

Soon she caught two pheasants and a wild rabbit.

"Why are there only small things here? Where did the big prey go?" Chaohua was a little dissatisfied with their harvest.

"Shh!" Shen Huaixu vaguely saw the silhouette of a deer hidden in the bushes not far away, and raised his index finger and placed it between his lips.

Chaohua didn't dare to breathe.

Shen Huaixu put an arrow on the bow, closed one eye and aimed in one direction.

The arrow feathers cut through the air, and at the same time, a sound of breaking through the air was heard behind her.

"A Xu!" Fu Yin's stern shout came from the space.

Just as he was about to clench his fists and rush out of the space regardless of anything, Shen Huaixu shouted: [Stay still! ]

At the same time, her flexible waist leaned back, and almost at the same time, an arrow brushed past her body.

"careful!"

This reminder was a little late. If it was earlier, it might distract Shen Huaixu. Therefore, the person who reminded her was none other than Yun Zhi.

Chao Hua stood there in a daze, and only reacted when Shen Huaixu was about to stand up. She angrily pulled out the whip around her waist, and first asked Shen Huaixu if he was injured. When she found out that he was not, she looked in the direction where the arrow came from in anger.

Cheng Ze had already kicked the instigator off his horse. When he saw Chao Hua looking over, he immediately said, "This man is the one who shot the arrow."

Chao Hua saw that the man seemed to have been kicked hard by Cheng Ze and kept groaning. He barely calmed down a little and looked in the direction of Yun Zhi again.

"It's my third cousin. How come you came so timely? Do you know him?" Chaohua had a rare flash of inspiration and looked at her third cousin with suspicion.

"Where did you get these words from, cousin? My cousin just happened to pass by and didn't even have time to make a move, but was easily resolved by County Lady Mingyi. It's really admirable."
