AWB Chapter 216 The Best Person
Chapter 216 The Best Person
Shi Xiaoxiao's face was filled with smiles.
The scene was harmonious for a while, and the depression that had been weighing on Shi Xiaoxiao's heart earlier also dissipated a little.
……
Half a month later.
White snowflakes fell from the sky, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow.
The large bamboo forest in Xixiaoyuan was covered with snowflakes, which looked particularly beautiful at first glance.
There were strings of icicles hanging under the eaves, and Ah Xing and a few others were happily hitting them with brooms.
Shi Xiaoxiao sat in the room and watched quietly.
Xiaoyuan brought some charcoal in exchange, muttering, "Miss, it's so cold outside. I can't go out now even if I want to."
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at her and asked, "Why, are you bored?"
"Miss, you have been staying in the yard for half a month. Can you still stay here?"
"Didn't you say it was cold outside? You have to stay here even if you can't."
Madoka sighed, "I hope winter passes quickly."
After she finished speaking, she remembered something and suddenly said, "Miss, why hasn't your uncle come to see you recently?"
Shi Xiaoxiao paused.
Come to think of it, Ji Chen hadn't come to see her for a long time.
I used to come over to hang out every day, but lately something seems a little strange, like I'm very busy.
"Go and call An Er."
She asked An Er if he knew what Ji Chen was up to.
Xiaoyuan went out for a while.
An Er came in.
Shi Xiaoxiao squinted at him and asked, "What has your master been doing recently?"
An Er rolled his eyes and said, "No...it's not convenient for the master to visit the young lady every day because of the cold weather."
"Is that so?"
Because it’s cold?
She didn't believe it. Ji Chen was skilled in martial arts, and the cold weather had no effect on him.
What the hell is he doing?
"Get the car ready. I'll go see what he's doing."
An Er's expression changed.
"Miss Shi, there's a layer of ice on the ground outside. It's too dangerous to drive the carriage. I'll just send a message to the master and ask him to come over."
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly cold, "Are you hiding something from me, or is he hiding something from me?"
"Miss, you're worrying too much. What could possibly happen?"
"Tell me! What is he preparing? Either you tell me the truth or you go back."
An Er didn't dare to look at her, and spoke weakly, obviously feeling guilty.
What is Ji Chen hiding from her?
Seeing Shi Xiaoxiao's face turned cold, An Er hesitated for a moment, but still spoke slowly.
"Our master's military power was taken away by the Emperor on the day your father resigned, and he was threatened not to marry you. He has been preparing since that day..."
Shi Xiaoxiao frowned slightly: "Preparing for what?"
Her eyelids twitched.
He wouldn't want to rebel, would he?
Just because the emperor prevented their marriage, he wanted to rebel?
"To avenge the late emperor."
When these words came out, Shi Xiaoxiao was shocked.
An Er continued, "When the master was still young, he witnessed the emperor murdering the emperor and seizing the throne. The master's mother also died at the hands of the emperor. Not only that, the emperor did not want to let our master go, and sent him to the border. He sent assassins to deal with the master again and again. He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and he didn't want to worry you, so he didn't tell you."
Shi Xiaoxiao was a little speechless.
Why does this person always do great things silently?
Although she can't do much, she can still help a little.
What's the point of hiding it from her? They should have shared the difficulties.
This makes her look useless.
An Er seemed to be able to hear Shi Xiaoxiao's inner voice and said, "Don't worry, Miss Shi. Our master has been preparing for this day for ten years and has already taken control of the situation. He is just waiting for an opportunity."
Shi Xiaoxiao sighed, "Prepare the car."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Shi Xiaoxiao, An Er had no choice but to go and make preparations.
……
Prince Xiao's Mansion.
Shi Xiaoxiao had a smooth journey and went straight to Ji Chen's study.
The servants in Prince Xiao's Mansion were very considerate. When they saw Shi Xiaoxiao, they would respectfully call her "Miss Shi".
Under the guidance of An Er, Shi Xiaoxiao gently pushed open the door of Ji Chen's study.
The man was sitting at the desk writing something.
There was obvious fatigue between his eyebrows and eyes, and it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
A trace of heartache flashed through her heart.
Hear the door open.
A hoarse voice came out of his mouth, "What's the matter?"
Shi Xiaoxiao walked over slowly and said softly, "I came to see you."
Ji Chen looked up suddenly and saw Shi Xiaoxiao coming. The fatigue in his eyes disappeared.
A smile appeared on his face and he pulled the person over.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here."
Shi Xiaoxiao reached out and touched his face. It was a bit prickly because he had a beard.
I guess I'm too busy and don't have time to take care of it.
Her red lips moved slightly: "I miss you."
Ji Chen was secretly happy. He held her cold little hand in his and breathed on her to warm her.
"Blame me. I didn't visit you these days and made you worry."
"Then why didn't you come to see me?"
"I... have some things to do. I want to give you a stable life, so..."
"So you're going to shoulder everything by yourself, let me stay under your wings, and let you shield me from the wind and rain?"
Ji Chen paused, "You know everything?"
Shi Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
"I can help you with whatever you want to do. Why are you afraid that I will betray you?"
Ji Chen tapped the tip of her nose: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be afraid of your betrayal? I just want you to live a happy life. Leave the rest to me. Besides, if you really betray me, I will accept it. Who told me to love you?"
Shi Xiaoxiao felt sweet in her heart.
"I will never betray you."
"I know. Don't I know who you are? My Xiaoxiao is the best person in the world."
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyebrows lit up with joy, and she put her arms around his neck, "My Ah Chen is also the best person."
Looking at the smiling face so close to him, Ji Chen felt that all the hard work of the past few days was worth it.
I was determined to give her the best life.
After spending quite a while with Ji Chen, Shi Xiaoxiao was ready to go home.
……
When she returned to the house, she happened to meet Lou Keke who came to see her.
Shi Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Sister Lou, you're here."
Lou Keke smiled: "Xiaoxiao, I came to chat with you."
Shi Xiaoxiao understood in her heart that they would definitely talk about Song Yuchuan.
She brought Lou Keke back to Xixiaoyuan.
She got straight to the point, "How are things going? Have you made any progress recently?"
Lou Keke smiled shyly: "How come you can guess everything?"
"What else could you come to me for?"
Lou Keke originally came to ask Shi Xiaoxiao for help, so she stopped being shy.
He said, "We...we love each other."
Shi Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smile and jokingly said, "Okay, you're pretty fast."
"Xiaoxiao, what should we do next? And what about my mother..."
Shi Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow, I will take your mother to Yongshan Temple under the pretext of praying for the country. From now on, I will take care of you."
"Yongshan Temple? Xiaoxiao, whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you."
Shi Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "No need. Tomorrow you and your mother can earnestly pray for the people of Daqi."
Lou Keke nodded doubtfully.
Shi Xiaoxiao said, "As for your engagement with Feng Yuling, wait until your mother is willing to accept my cousin before withdrawing."
"Can my mother really accept him?"
Shi Xiaoxiao put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Even if you can't accept it, you have to accept it. My sister Lou's happiness can only be given by my eldest cousin. No one else can."
Lou Keke chuckled.
