The First Volume: The Abandoned Wife's Self-Strengthening Chapter 36: Blushing

  Before long, the door opened and it was Shu Li who opened it. He saw Xue Lengyu and was stunned for a moment: "Is that you?"

  Shu Li wore a long blue robe. It was the kind of warm and gentle blue, although she frowned slightly as she looked at her, but still appeared to be a beautiful painting, with a calm face like a deep pool that couldn't see the bottom, but the water was clear. As one continued to look, they felt as if they were about to be immersed in it.

  At that moment when their eyes met, Xue Lengyu suddenly thought of the phrase "slender and elegant".

  Xue Lengyu involuntarily stuttered and said: "I... I have something to ask for leave to go home."

  Shu Li Dao said: "I am currently discussing matters with Wang Ye, I will talk about it later."

  After finishing speaking, Shu Li turned her head and wanted to close the door and go back to her room.

  Can't take care of so many things, Xue Lengyu grabbed Shu Li's sleeve and saw Shu Li frowning, hurriedly letting go: "Something happened at my home, I beg the adult to let me go back for a trip."

  Xue Lengyu was like this, what kind of body did he have? Suddenly, Liang Lian's face turned cold and he was about to speak when a voice came from inside: "What happened?"

  Xue Lengyu hastily opened the door and walked into the study: "Reporting to Master Wang, something has happened at my home, I'd like to return for a visit."

  "What's wrong?" Li Mu anxiously asked: "What happened at home?"

  "I'm not very clear either." Xue Lengyu said: "It's the master of Xiudie Garden who brought the news, saying that my father seems to be injured. I'm worried in my heart and offended Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, and allow me to return home for a visit."

  Li Mu said slowly: "From entering the garden to now, this is the first time I've seen you so anxious. I didn't expect you to be such a filial girl. Why would I blame you? Hurry back."

  "Thank you, Prince Wang." Xue Lengyu said, and turned around to leave.

  "Wait." Li Mu spoke up and stopped her: "Are there any other brothers at home?"

  Xue Lengyu's heart was anxious, but she couldn't ignore it, so she turned around and said: "I'm the only one in my family, I don't have any brothers or sisters."

  Li Mu didn't ask again, but said: "Shu Li."

  "Belonging down is." Exceptional separation stands on one side, responded.

  Li Mu said: "You accompany Leng Yu on a trip. She's just a girl, if something happens, it won't be easy to deal with."

  "Yes." Shu Li replied expressionlessly. What Li Mu said was undeniable.

  "Ah." Xue Lengyu was startled and hastily said: "I don't dare trouble Lord Shu, I can go back by myself."

  Joking aside, Shu Li was indeed Li Mu's personal bodyguard. She herself was just a small maid. Not qualified for this. Good feelings are good feelings, but in her heart, Xue Lengyu still had a measure of her own worth.

  Li Mu smiled and said: "Leng Yu, you are allowed to have filial piety, why can't I, the king, have a kind heart? Don't waste any more time, go quickly."

  "Thank you, Wang Ye." Xue Lengyu felt extremely uneasy about it, but at this moment, he didn't have the mood to dwell on this matter. He just let him follow, no matter what his reasons were. He hastily left the study room. Shu Li also followed him out.

  Xue Lengyu left the Maple Garden, feeling a little dazed for a moment. In her experience, she would take a taxi when in a hurry, but now, was she supposed to walk? The time it took to walk home seemed a bit long too.

  Xue Lengyu stood at the entrance of Fengyuan, lost in thought. Shu Li didn't stop and quickly walked past her, leaving behind a faint sentence: "Hurry up, the horse is already prepared outside the door."

  Everyone had forgotten that there was such a means of transportation in this era. Xue Lengyu suddenly came to her senses, and her heart was filled with joy. She ran quickly to catch up with Shu Lidao's footsteps, and said nervously: "But I don't know how to ride a horse."

  "I know." The distant voice was still without any ripples: "I'll take you with me."

  It was unexpected that Xue Lengyu, a woman like her, would ride a horse. But from the way she hugged him and cried that day, it seemed unlikely that she would have any objections to riding together on one horse. Moreover, this was an urgent situation now.

  Xue Lengyu didn't consider anything about the propriety of men and women interacting, she just couldn't help but feel grateful to Li Mu in her heart. No matter what his purpose was, if he let her go back alone, not only would the journey be a problem, but also if something really happened, being unfamiliar with the place would make it difficult for her.

  Now there is Shu Li following, Shu Li is looking at himself again, it's Li Mu who let him help himself, and he won't be completely idle. Spending money and effort, even if it's not good to owe Li Mu a favor in the future, saving the emergency is more important.

  Outside the gate, a young servant had already prepared the horses and was waiting. Xue Lengyu got on his horse, and Xue Lengyu walked to the side, hesitating slightly.

  Uh... this horse is so tall, how am I supposed to get on it? Xue Lengyu had only ridden horses in tourist areas for a couple of rounds, and had never been in such close proximity to a real high-headed horse. For a moment, she really didn't know what to do with her mouth... uh, sorry, her legs.

  Xu Lengyu also saw her difficulty and did not speak, but stretched out his hand from horseback.

  Xue Lengyu didn't hesitate at all, placing her hand in his palm. She only felt a tightening on her arm and a slight lift of her body before she was already seated on the horse. Shu Li sat behind Xue Lengyu, wrapping his arms around her waist, holding the reins tightly.

  Xue Lengyu was stunned for a moment, this posture was too ambiguous. Shu Li's tall and majestic figure, sitting in front of the horse like this, seemed to be nestled in his arms, although he actually kept a distance from himself and didn't have any skin contact.

  "Hey." Shu Li called out softly, unlike his usual icy tone. The slightly magnetic voice made Xue Leng Yu's heart feel like it had been struck, and the temperature from his hand still lingered on her palm. Behind her, she could sense his warmth. On that day in the flower hall, when she was feeling extremely frustrated, she impulsively hugged him. Now, recalling the memory of being in Shu Li's arms, Xue Leng Yu lowered her head and felt a flush rise to her cheeks.

  "Hey." Seeing Xue Lengyu didn't react, he called out again.

  Xue Lengyu's face turned even redder, and she responded in a low voice.

  Shu Li looked down at the woman in his arms, completely unlike the carefree person who had cried so hard that day. Instead, she seemed to be blushing from the close contact, and couldn't help but smile. In her intentionally cold voice, there was a hint of teasing: "You didn't tell me which direction your home is in, how are we supposed to get on the road?"

  Xue Lengyu's mind suddenly exploded, and her head hung even lower. She wished she could bury her face in her own chest. It turned out that the low and sultry sentence that Shu Li had asked was actually asking her where to go next, causing her to be lost in thought all by herself until now.

  I'm going to die, Xue Lengyu didn't dare to raise his head to look at Shu Li, he just weakly raised one hand and stretched out a finger, pointing in one direction.

  She slightly curled up the corners of her mouth, silently smiled for a moment. Would such a woman also blush? Whether it's real or fake, it's all an interesting thing anyway.

  It seems like I've updated less today, haha, I'm really tired, and I'll update more tomorrow night.
