Chapter 266: You Should Be Proud
Hidden guard: …
The hidden guard swept his gaze over Ning Shu and Yue Lan again coldly, then jumped out of the window.
Yue Lan was a little uneasy and asked Ning Shu, who had already started eating the chicken, “Miss, the hidden guard won’t abandon us just because we called him ugly, right?”
Ning Shu licked her fingers clean, then said, unperturbed, “Don’t worry, your miss comforted him earlier.”
Yue Lan glanced at Ning Shu. “Miss was doing that to comfort him? This servant feels that it was more like rubbing salt on his wound.”
Meanwhile, perhaps it was because Ning Shu had given a very white lotus female lead-like proclamation, but now Situ Qingyu’s gaze was very complicated as he looked at her. His gaze that was filled with emotion made Ning Shu feel like her intestines were knotting, but she kept a cold and aloof expression on her face.
I was so cool and elegant, so delicate and fragile. With this, could you still bear to hurt me?
Situ Qingyu no longer restricted Ning Shu’s movements and allowed her to wander around as she pleased in the prime minister’s residence. Meals were also now delivered regularly at appropriate times.
Yue Lan was completely baffled with this sudden change of treatment. Yue Lan wasn’t the only baffled, Ning Shu was also confused. Could it be that Situ Qingyu was now going to take the route of gentleness?
Or was it due to that deafening proclamation of hers?
It didn’t matter, she’d never refuse food. Whenever Situ Qingyu sent over head ornaments and jewelry, she also accepted them indiscriminately, then turned around had had the big brother hidden guard sell them for money.
After she finished up her business at this station, she still had to travel the world. First she had to visit the imperial merchant, then she had to go to a rural area in a random nook of the world to find the teaching scholar. Following that, she had to find the godly doctor who enjoyed hiding in forests, then she had to climb up a mountain to find the leader of the Demonic Sect who was holed up in the caves like a caveman.
Without money, she wouldn’t be able to do sh*t.
However, the hidden guard was never able to exchange the goods for much money. Ning Shu couldn’t tell if it was because Situ Qingyu had sent her knockoffs, or if this hidden guard was dumb to the point he got cheated every single time.
Ning Shu stood in the pavilion as she watched Situ Qingyu perform a sword dance outside with soft flower petals drifting down as accompaniment. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
Usually, this scene also required for a beauty to be playing the guqin, but sadly, Ning Shu didn’t have that skill.
Situ Qingyu finished the dance and Ning Shu immediately applauded as she said with fake sincerity, “Bravo, fascinating swordplay!”
Situ Qingyu smiled slightly towards Ning Shu as he turned towards her, his forehead glistening slightly from sweat. His smile sent a wave of hormones that felt like the school prince was walking towards you with a basketball tucked under one arm.
“Mu Yanmeng, this general asks you, are you willing to stay with this general?” Situ Qingyu asked Ning Shu seriously.
Situ Qingyu seemed to have restrained his usual irascible and ruthless aura, which caused him to simply appear manly and reliable. His broad shoulders and firm body seemed perfect for a woman to lean into.
Ning Shu became even more suspicious. Why did his style suddenly change? Ning Shu asked, “Why? Why are you suddenly treating this humble girl so well? This humble girl is overwhelmed by this sudden favor from a superior and can’t help but be scared that you’re trying to do dat to this humble girl.”
Situ Qingyu: …
#comment: Ning Shu’s praise for Situ Qingyu would have sounded perfectly fine in Chinese. Phonetically, she said ‘General is really skilled with swordplay,’ but written was, ‘General is really skilled at showing off shamelessly.’
