The wedding banquet ended and the guests dispersed. The peace of Xuan Mansion finally cracked open. Although there were no waves on the lake, it was waiting for the storm to be completely swept away.

Cui Xuan was worried and put down the tea cup in her hand and said to Qiao Si beside her.

"Please spend more time with me during these days."

Qiao Si heard the voice and responded: "Yes."

"It is said that Xuan family girls have a soft temper, but this child is even worse than me. I never mention any grievances that I keep in my heart."

As Cui Xuanshi spoke, she couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.

"Look, if you let her stay at her parents' house for a few more days, she seems to have lost her soul. She can even go into a trance during the meal. You go back and take Sister Rong with you to accompany her, so as not to have time to think about things. Instead, she will be in a trance. You are trapped in a dead situation."

Qiao Si advised: "Sister-in-law is a lucky person to have the support of her elders."

While the two were talking, they saw Fang's mother walking in quickly from outside.

"Lady."

Cui Xuanshi: "What's wrong?"

Fang’s mother: “Master Hou is here with Mrs. Shen.”

Cui Xuanshi was a little surprised.

"Please come in quickly."

Fang’s mother paused: “You didn’t come to our courtyard.”

Hearing this, Qiao Si nodded slightly: "That's right, I think my second uncle took Mrs. Shen to pay my respects to my grandmother."

Fang’s mother: “That’s not true.”

She said: "Master Hou took Lady Shen to Lady Ai's courtyard."

Cui Xuanshi:?

Qiao Si:?

Shen Hua, who was brought to Xuan Ai by Cui Yun:???

Cui Yun was also worried that Xuan Ai would have trouble thinking about things. Therefore, there was no one more suitable to accompany her than Shen Hua, who was the most playful and noisy.

What's more, he will be staying in Xuan Mansion these days and will not return to Yanglinghou Mansion. Shen Hua will have to watch him under his nose.

"Cousin." Cui Yun called Xuan Ai warmly.

When Xuan Ai saw it was him, she smiled gently but could not hide the sadness on her face.

"Aren't you busy with official duties? Why are you here?"

As she said that, she looked at Shen Hua with some surprise.

Cui Yun saw this: "Call someone."

Shen Hua folded her hands and said obediently: "Cousin."

Xuan Ai:!!!

She looked at the two people in front of her carefully.

The man is as distant and indifferent as the bright moon, his demeanor is as cold as the pine trees, and the girl is delicate and graceful, yet bright and dizzy.

Between stillness and movement, it is like a dynamic and matching scroll.

Cui Yun didn't talk about official business, but just said a few words to Xuan Ai, and then said to Shen Hua: "I'm staying in Xuan Mansion these days. I have something to go to see Xuan Chen. You stay here with your cousin. I'll meet you later." Is it okay to take you to Grandma’s place for dinner later?”

Cui Yun had already cleaned up the mess for her to enter the palace, and Shen Hua would agree to it as long as she didn't have to go through a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire.

She agreed simply.

It's good for a girl to get into trouble, but she has a pure nature. Xuan Ai is not one of those thoughtful cousins ​​in Yanglinghou's mansion. Cui Yun naturally won't worry about Shen Hua turning around and riding on Xuan Ai's head.

After all, Qiao Si is an example.

Moreover, no matter how arrogant Shen Hua is, she seems to be very popular with women.

As soon as Cui Yun left, there was no one in the room.

When Xuan Ai didn't know how to get along with Shen Hua, she heard the girl calling her familiarly.

"Cousin, is there any tea? I'm thirsty."

This is the truth.

"……have."

Xuan Ai hurriedly greeted Shen Hua to take a seat.

Shen Hua sat down, raised her head to drink the tea cup brought by the maid.

I drank two cups in a row.

Then, her eyes fell on the snacks on the coffee table. Everyone in the Xuan Mansion felt sorry for Xuan Ai, and they were particularly concerned about her food.

"cousin."

Shen Hua looked at the untouched snacks and looked sideways at Xuan Ai.

"Can I eat it?"

When Xuan Ai heard her calling her cousin, she almost thought there really was such a cousin.

She moved the candy cake over.

Shen Hua thanked her politely.

The girl was biting into the candy cake. She was eating very seriously. Her cheeks were bulging. She took a few bites of the sweet cake. It was really cute.

Xuan Ai asked softly: "What else do you want to eat?"

Shen Hua was reserved: "I just met my cousin and asked for this and that. How can I be so embarrassed?"

Shadow Five who was standing by:...

"My family, why are you so polite?"

Shen Hua thought so too, she twitched her fingers

"It would be better if there were pumpkin seeds at this time."

Xuan Ai asked the maid next to her to go down and get it.

Shen Hua: "It's best if it's freshly fried, so it's the most crispy and fragrant."

Maid: "Yes."

Shen Hua continued to wring her fingers: "I also want to eat candied haws, with the seeds peeled off. The frosting is thicker. I don't like the thin ones."

"There are also Poria cakes, pea yellow cakes, cloud cakes..."

Ying Wu raised his eyebrows.

Xuan Ai was slightly stunned.

Shen Hua cleared her voice and continued to be reserved: "Did I ask for too much?"

Xuan Ai: "No, I will let the following prepare it. If you like to eat, you can eat more."

Waiting for the exquisite snacks to be served.

After all, Shen Hua sensed something was wrong with Xuan Ai.

When she was eating candied haws, Xuan Ai was in a daze.

When she was eating cloud cake, Xuan Ai's eyes were dull.

When she peeled the pumpkin seeds, her hands were stained with a layer of dust, and she looked dull.

Although she didn't know when Xuan Ai happened, Shen Hua seemed to know why Cui Yun called her here.

Shen Hua was very confused.

She lowered her head and looked at the melon seeds she had painstakingly peeled in a small plate. She separated half of it and brought it to Xuan Ai.

Xuan Ai was surprised and didn't pick it up.

Shenhua picked at the melon seeds she had kept, divided out half of them, and sent them over.

The girl's eyelids drooped: "No more."

————

study.

Xuan Chen plays chess with Cui Yun.

He seemed to be mocking but not mocking: "Zhong Bingwen can sit still."

So far, he has never come to pick up Xuan Ai, nor has he sent a single message to his wife.

Do you think you have Xuan Ai under control, or do you think he has covered up all his scandals perfectly?

Cui Yun held the white chess piece in his hand: "This morning he came out of Banxianju with the outer room."
