Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 160 Paper Kite

I have heard that he is a good painter before, but this is the first time I have seen him. Shen Yining watched him pick up the brush and put it down smoothly. The outline of the kite is a butterfly. I thought he would draw a dragonfly or a mantis, but it turned out to be a butterfly. Although butterflies are simple and lifelike, it is difficult. The butterflies he painted are not only lifelike but also unique. There is also a pair of long colorful tail wings in the fantasy colors, which is very beautiful.

"It's so beautiful! This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful butterfly!"

Song Xiaoyuan picked up the pen and looked up at her. The butterfly was her birthright because she embraced thousands of beauties among the flowers.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Yining put his hand on his chin and asked, "What happened in the past few days? Why did you come back with blood on your face and say something about whether you would die or not?"

Song Xiaoyuan did not stop coloring with the pen in his hand, and his tone was calm and calm: "Although I resigned, the original position has been vacant. The night I left Beijing, I recommended someone, but His Majesty did not appoint him to the second rank, but the second rank instead."

Shen Yining guessed: "So His Majesty is definitely unwilling for you to resign, and the position has been reserved for someone else."

"Yes, the people in the capital who covet that position also saw your majesty's intention, so they wanted to take my life to stop your majesty's intention. The other person is you, Miss Shen."

Shen Yining was surprised: "I, what's wrong with me?"

Song Xiaoyuan put down his pen and waited for the paper to dry. "There are bandits in Houyang, and my father-in-law has strangled them many times before. If Miss Shen falls into the hands of bandits when she leaves the capital this time, she can threaten the Shen family."

Shen Yining was surprised: "Father is in charge of the army, isn't that because of me...I will definitely not make things difficult for Father then!"

Song Xiaoyuan glanced at her. She was just like when she was in Qiang, sacrificing her life. He looked away at the distant mountains and said calmly, "Miss Shen is willing to sacrifice her life when faced with difficulties."

"I don't want anyone to be embarrassed because of me. If I am a weak spot, then I will break it and there will be no more threats from now on."

"Have you ever thought that breaking ribs is like digging out your heart?" Song Xiaoyuan turned his head and asked her.

Shen Yining saw the anger in Tan's eyes. This was the first time he saw him angry.

He also knew that he had frightened her, so he lowered his eyes and turned away to apologize: "I'm sorry. Miss Shen, don't worry, the bandits have been brought under control."

"So these few days, Xiao Yuan, you...?"

"These past few days I have been with a woman who looks like you. She pretends to be you, and we live together peacefully..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Yining interrupted him: "So you and your wife have been together these few days, acting like a loving couple in Ran'anju, tricking the bandits into thinking she was me?"

"Ah."

Shen Yining stood up angrily. Song Xiaoyuan sat up and looked up at her red face. He stood up and explained: "I didn't do anything with her."

"What did you do with her if you didn't do anything with her?"

Ah Wu ran up to Yuanshan Pavilion, panting and covered in blood, and answered quickly: "The young master hugged the girl and called her Madam. They went shopping hand in hand and were praised for being a good match when eating. Phew~ Young master, you are back safely. It's so easy to find you! Those traitors have been executed, but the bandits have not been wiped out yet."

Shen Yining's eyes were red, and she took the long-lashed goldfish and turned to leave. Song Xiaoyuan hurriedly chased after him, and when he passed by Awu, he glanced at him and praised him with a smile: "You are still able to talk as always!"

Shen Yining walked and cried, and Song Xiaoyuan followed behind like a child who had made a mistake, apologizing repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Don't cry, Miss Shen."

He left and came back without telling me, scared me for no reason in the spring, got angry with me on the top of the mountain, called me Miss Shen every day but called others Madam elsewhere, was cold to me but was affectionate with others.

Shen Yining walked away crying and asked, "Do I really disgust you?"

"No, Miss Shen is not annoying. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

Shen Yining stood still, turned around and patted Jinyu on his chest: "I don't like you anymore, don't follow me, go away!"

Seeing her walk away sadly, Song Xiaoyuan stood still, holding his hand over his chest, with a kite…

Zhao Jinmo had been busy for several days in the large-scale suppression of mountain bandits. There were still some remaining bandits in the village left for Kangwei to clean up. He did not rest at all and rushed non-stop from Houyang to Qiannan. As he got closer to Qiannan, his fatigue on the road was taken away by the rushing wind, and all that was left was his unconcealable joy.

Although Ran An Ju was in the city, it was quiet and pleasant. The noise and hawking sounds from the street could not be heard at all. In the hot summer, Luo Xi was playing the piano in the pavilion while enjoying the cool breeze. It was almost a month ago, and the mansion was empty except for the busy maids and servants. Young Master Song and his wife had not returned, and Zhao Jinmo had not come to pick him up.

During this period, Luo Xi asked the servant who went out to buy things. The wanted notices on the streets had been removed, but Master Su was still asking people to look for him.

She didn't dare to go out, so she played the piano in boredom and her voice was messy. From the unpleasant expression on the maid's face, she knew it was hard to listen to.

"Mother, the weather is hot, drink some lotus seed tea to cool down."

Luo Xi realized his embarrassment and stopped playing the piano. He put the piano aside and said, "Thank you very much. I'm sorry."

The maid smiled and said nothing else.

While staring at the flowers in a daze, Luo Xi saw a familiar and expectant figure approaching through the archway in the distance. He stood up excitedly and approached: "Jin Mo!"

Zhao Jinmo walked closer and raised his hand to stop her from getting closer: "I'm dirty, don't let it get on you."

He was tanned, and the newly emerged stubble added some masculinity to his handsome face. Luo Xi didn't mind. Seeing that his lips were chapped, he couldn't hide his joy and handed him the tea: "I haven't had it yet, you drink it."

"Thank you."

Zhao Jinmo drank the sweet and thirst-quenching lotus seed tea and politely said to the maid beside him: "Please prepare some water."

"Yes, sir, take a rest and wait."

The two of them looked at each other quietly in the pavilion. Luo Xi couldn't help but blush and turned away the young man's sincere gaze.

Zhao Jinmo looked at her sideways, and asked with a handsome smile: "Luo Xi, do you miss me?"

Luo Xi turned aside to avoid him and replied embarrassedly: "No, I didn't think about it at all."

"really?"

The maid came over respectfully and said that the water was ready, which helped Luo Xi's face, which was as hot as the sun outside, to cool down.

Zhao Jinmo stood up and smiled as he followed the maid over. In the distance, Luo Xi shouted from across the water bridge and pavilion: "I know you must be missing me!"

Late at night, Master Su still hadn't gotten the civet cat beauty, and she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. At this moment, the concubine in his arms was a courtesan, beautiful, submissive and delicate, but it was hard to please his heart. He let go of the concubine and left in frustration.

The concubine fell on the beauty couch, looking very pitiful: "Master, won't you stay at my place tonight?"

"Alas! Without the beauty, you are nothing but this." Thinking of the smooth and soft hands of the civet cat beauty, he felt anxious day and night.

Master Su paced in the garden. A few days had passed without any news from the city gate or the city. The lights flickered in the cool night breeze. In the distance, the sound of pipa could be heard. Master Su had too many concubines and couldn't remember who could play the pipa. Confused, he asked the attendant behind him, "Is there a concubine in the backyard who can play the pipa?"

"Master, the fifth lady is the only one in the garden who can play the zither. You found her in the teahouse."

Another sharp-nosed and monkey-faced attendant responded, "Oh, Master, one of the concubines must have learned this to please you."

Master Su smiled obscenely, straightened his back, and put his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face: "Hahaha, you are sensible! In that case, I will go and show my love to her!"
