Su Ziling: "..."

Looking at the rosy face whose skin was better than hers, she asked, "Your face is fine. How do you maintain your skin? Your skin is so good."

Before Su Ziling could see clearly, Lu Yan raised his hand, slapped Shen Xingye on the forehead, and pushed him back.

Shen Xingye frowned, "What are you doing?"

"Sit tight."

The carriage slowly drove towards the county town. Along the way, Shen Xingye kept chattering, telling Su Ziling how he maintained himself.

Su Ziling was enjoying what she said, but Lu Yan beside her was full of disgust, saying from time to time, "You are a grown man, but you have red lips and white teeth. If you go out, people will think you are sisters."

Shen Xingye was struck by lightning, and he felt terrible. "I find you are such a person with no vision."

He sneered and said, "Sister Xiaoqing, just say that I am good-looking, right?"

Su Ziling nodded and gave a relatively pertinent answer, "Not bad."

"What do you mean it's okay?" Shen Xingye covered his chest with his hands, his face full of heartache, and pointed at the two of them, "You two are really birds of a feather. Sister, you don't love me anymore since he came back!"

Su Ziling widened his eyes. Oh my god, where did this acting talent come from?

Lu Yan stretched out his long legs, which had nowhere to go, and kicked him mercilessly, "Speak properly. If you keep messing around like this, I'll throw you out, and you'll have to crawl back by yourself."

"Oh." Shen Xingye shrank his neck and behaved himself. If Lu Yan said to throw it away, he really dared to throw it away.

But he didn't stay still for long, as he started to grumble again, asking Lu Yan why there had been no news for so long, and also asking him about his plans after things here were settled.

The two of them were talking in whispers, and later they talked about going to the capital. Su Ziling didn't hear a word of what they said afterwards.

She was so sleepy that she kept dozing off. Her head was nodding and she was about to fall forward. Lu Yan reached out and held her head.

Seeing that she fell asleep, Lu Yan winked at Shen Xingye, and the carriage was quiet for the rest of the journey.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government, Su Ziling was still not awake. Shen Xingye lowered his voice and asked, "Why don't you wake her up?"

Just as Lu Yan was about to shake his head, he heard Shen Xingye say, "Let her sleep in the house. The temperature difference at night is so big that she might catch a cold. Besides, there is a tough battle tomorrow. These few days are critical times."

Lu Yan raised his chin, motioning him to come and shout.

Shen Xingye was confused, "Why didn't you shout?"

Lu Yan: “…” Can he say that this guy is grumpy when waking up?

Normally, unless she gets up by herself, if someone disturbs her, she will be very angry when she wakes up.

Of course, it’s not directed at others, but usually I’m angry at myself and I just hold my temper.

Shen Xingye cleared his throat, "Sister Xiaoqing?"

Hearing his cat-like meow, Lu Yan's mouth twitched and he simply pulled his hand away. Su Ziling suddenly lunged forward and was about to pounce, but Lu Yan caught him again.

Shen Xingye looked at his cool moves, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but gave him a thumbs up.

The sudden feeling of falling woke Su Ziling up. She opened her eyes, a little dazed, and asked, "What happened?"

Shen Xingye: "We've arrived at the county government office."

"Oh." Su Ziling was a little dazed, and then he woke up instantly when he felt a hand on his forehead. "What are you doing?"

Lu Yan said calmly, "You almost fell onto the carriage just now, and I caught you."

"Oh, thank you." Su Ziling yawned, opened the curtain, and jumped directly from the carriage.

Chang Ce, who had been waiting with his hand outstretched for a long time, silently withdrew his hand.

"Sister Xiaoqing is quite cute when she looks confused." Shen Xingye muttered.

Lu Yan kicked him on the butt and sent him downstairs, "Hurry up and open the door."

Shen Xingye touched his butt and muttered softly, "I don't need to open the door. Also, what's wrong with you? You've only been back for a short while, and how many times have you beaten me? It's inexplicable."

Lu Yan took the torch beside him, lit it, walked to Su Ziling, and glanced at her sideways, "Are you tired?"

"Not bad." Su Ziling pinched his neck and yawned, "When will those people arrive tomorrow morning?"

"It's a long way to go. I estimate that everyone will arrive at the 9:00-11:00 hour."

Su Ziling nodded, "Okay, let's go to two nearby villages in the morning, and when we come back, I think everyone will be here."

Chang Ce went to knock on the door in advance. When the door opened, the mansion was a little dark, with only a few lights dimly lit.

Seeing Su Ziling yawning non-stop, Shen Xingye realized something a little late, "Sister Xiaoqing, are you grumpy after waking up?"

"A little bit," Su Ziling nodded.

"Ah?" Shen Xingye glared at Lu Yan, his mouth moving rapidly. Although no sound came out and no one knew what he was saying, it was obvious that he was cursing very dirty.

"So you usually stay at home..."

Su Ziling replied naturally, "I usually sleep until I am no longer angry before getting up."

Shen Xingye: "..."

There are not many servants in Shen Xingye's house. Firstly, he doesn't trust them, and secondly, he is not used to having too many people.

There were only a few people he brought from Shangjing. Changce followed him, and the others were a few cooks and guards.

Someone brought hot water for Su Ziling to wash her face, and also gave her a bucket of water for washing her feet, with mugwort and other things in it. Su Ziling only soaked in the water for a few minutes before she fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.

Actually, the life was not tiring. It was just that my feet were so sore from walking all day. At the end, they were even a little numb and heavy.

The next morning, when Su Ziling woke up, it was already bright outside.

Looking at the clothes prepared beside her, she changed while thinking about how she got into bed last night.

"Miss Su, are you awake?" Before she could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door.

"I'm up." She hurriedly put on her clothes and responded.

"Then I'm coming in."

The door was pushed open and a girl came in with a basin of water in her hand. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old and had a baby face, but at this moment she was very cold.

"you are?"

"I'm thirty-seven, and Mr. Lu asked me to take care of the girl." As he said this, he took a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

Su Ziling was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, holding his hands high, "I can do it myself, I can do it myself."

"Thirty-seven? It was so close, it almost became number thirty-eight." Su Ziling muttered, "Thirty-seven, then I'll call you Thirty-seven."

Seeing that she didn't need to be served, Sanqi didn't force her, but stepped aside to make the bed.

While washing his face, Su Ziling asked, "Are Eighteen and the others with you?"

"Yes." Seeing that she was obviously unwilling to say more, Su Ziling did not continue to ask, "Where are Lu Yan and the others?"

Hearing her calling him by his name, Sanqi paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "The young master went out with the county magistrate, leaving Changce and me with Miss Su."

"Master said that Miss Su doesn't need to go with us. They will be able to go there. When other villagers come at 9 o'clock, Miss Su will have to help greet them."

"okay, I get it."

After Su Ziling finished washing up and went out, she saw Chang Ce waiting not far away. When he saw her go out, he immediately came to greet her.

"Miss Su, my master and his family are out. I'll have someone bring you breakfast."

Su Ziling shook his head. "Let's not eat yet. Is there anyone outside?"

"Some people came early in the morning. There were seven or eight when I just went there, and now there are about ten." Seeing her walking out, Chang Ce followed behind her.
