40: White Tiger Hall
On the outskirts of the Xin Cheng, there was an ancient historical city. Under the tempering of years, it seemed as if it had lost its original glory. 1
However, there were still a few people who would choose to buy property in this quiet and remote place to live in the future.
"Foster Father!" A clear but respectful voice sounded.
Raising his head, he saw an elegant screen blocking his view. The top-grade fine silk was made of a dragon and phoenix embroidered with golden silk. It was translucent and could faintly see a tall, slightly rich figure sitting on a red sandalwood chair with white tigers on it. His hand was lazily clinging to a big cigarette as he smoked.
"He's back." The slightly fat man lightly smoked a cigarette and leisurely raised his eyelids. At the door, a young woman in a colorful short skirt, wearing a pair of embroidered black boots and wearing a red felt hat stood upright. She had a scarlet jacket and a small shawl on her shoulder. Her bright and beautiful face had an inherent pride. Only in front of him, Fang deeply suppressed it. Only the humble and humble worship and absolute obedience.
"Foster father, I..." The woman hesitated.
"I know everything. What do you plan to do?"
"Foster father, Shen Shilin's not a man at all. He... He actually ……"
"What's wrong with him?" The chubby man narrowed his tiny eyes and spoke faintly.
"No more!" The woman pouted and pouted.
"I know everything. You're still too loyal!" The slightly fat man slowly stood up from the red sandalwood chair.
"Foster father, it's all weird... Otherwise, I would definitely ……"
"Alright, don't cause any trouble these few days!" The man seemed to be angry as he lowered his voice.
The woman stood with her head raised. Her delicate face seemed unwilling, but she did not dare to act in front of a man. She could only lower her head and whisper softly.
"My foster father is exhausted. You can leave now!" The man said indifferently.
"Yes, foster father."
After washing her face, Xi Cui took out a set of dark green brocade qipao and placed it in front of Su Xiang." Miss Su, can you change into this set of clothes later?"
Hearing this, Su Xiang's gaze fell on the cheongsam. It was made of white jade, and its collar had been cut into a chicken heart collar. From the looks of the material, it was one of the best. Su Xiang smiled lightly," No need. I' m still wearing my own clothes."
"But, Third Young Master specially instructed me last night to wear this Miss Su today." Xi Cui said seriously.
"Third Young Master's intention?" Su Xiang still remembered what happened last night. In front of Shen Shilin, she was in a sorry state. Her face suddenly turned red, as if she had been smeared with a faint blush. She was extremely charming.
When she woke up this morning, she specially checked her body... Shen Shilin didn't do anything wrong last night.
"That's right, Miss Su. Xi Cui has been serving Third Elder and Third Elder for more than three years, but I' ve never seen Third Young Master treat anyone so seriously, except Eldest Young Miss."
"Young miss? Third Young Master and Sister?"
"That's right. The eldest young miss was born with the same mother as the third young master. Unfortunately, when the third young master was six years old, the madam was killed."
"Xi Cui, what are you talking about here? If Third Master hears about it, you must be punished." At this moment, an old woman walked into the hall and coldly reprimanded this little girl.
"Mother Xu, I'm mistaken. Please do n' t tell Third Master..." Xi Cui pleaded in a low voice.
"Miss Su, Xi Cui is young and immature. Don't listen to her nonsense!" The granny faced the Su Xiang with a smile on her round face.
Su Xiang smiled." I didn't hear anything."
"Hurry up and go to the kitchen and serve Miss Su breakfast!" The granny's cold face turned towards Xi Cui and whispered.
"Xi Cui will go now."
"Miss Su aren't Bei Di here, are they?" The granny suddenly changed the topic to ease the awkward situation.
"No." Su Xiang replied.
The old woman's Mother Xu expression seemed to be filled with doubt. She was the most talented servant in the Mansion Shen and the Third Young Master's mother. Seeing the Third Young Master grow up from a young age, she could guess what the Third Young Master was thinking. But now, the Third Young Master had suddenly brought a young woman back. It was strange. Previously, Third Young Master had decided to marry South Of The Yangtze River daughter of a large family. That family was Su Family. Could it be that this woman had some special relationship with Su Family?
"My granny looked at Miss Su girl who didn't seem to be Bei Di. She did n' t really guess." The granny slightly bent down and said," This water is cold. I'll replace Miss Su with a basin."
Su Xiang sat on the wide and soft bed like a needle. The people here seemed to treat her as respectful as her master because of Shen Shilin, causing her to feel a different emotion.
He slowly exhaled, intending to get out of bed.
He heard a thick but hoarse voice coming from the door." You're awake?"
She looked up and saw that it was Shen Shilin. She had originally bent down to pick up her shoes but she hadn't expected that due to her unstable weight, she would fall to the ground and make a dull sound.
"Su Xiang!" In an instant, the man had already rushed forward and helped her up.
Her body stiffened and her arm, which was supported by him, was raised to maintain a distance from him.
The air seemed to have stopped, and her breathing was inexplicably chaotic. Her heart was pounding without stopping.
The man let go of her as a gentleman. His originally raised hand slowly dropped down and was no longer able to move.
Su Xiang Gu stood up, but his gaze didn't look at Shen Shilin. Instead, he lowered his head and put on the high-heeled shoes. However, for some reason, he could n' t get his fair and small feet in and almost fell.
Suddenly, she felt a steady and solid strength support her." Since the shoes are broken, don't force them." The man growled.
She calmed down and saw that there was a hole in the heel of the high-heeled shoes. It was probably caused by the Mansion Dong's attack.
He frowned slightly." This is my business. Third Young Master, please let go."
Without any warning, Shen Shilin quickly released his hand.
"Xi Cui, are you ready for breakfast?" The man turned around and walked out of the room.
Su Xiang raised his head in confusion and looked at the tall and quiet figure. His heart inexplicably shrank, and his right thumb and index finger gently stroked it, as if he had lost his mind.
This was the first time she had seen Shen Shilin so haggard expression. Her clear lines were carved into her chin. She did not even shave her beard. Her usually deep and cold eyes were bloodshot, as if she had not slept all night.
"Miss Su, breakfast is ready. Please have a meal first." Xi Cui walked to the door and called to the people in the room.
"Oh, I'll be there soon."
After all, she was a guest. She waved her hand in front of the servants. In the end, it was inappropriate. Thus, she had no choice but to go into the bathroom and change into her dark green cheongsam. She quickly put on her high heels and walked out of the room.
Shen Shilin had a straight back and was dressed in military attire. He sat upright at the dining table with milk in one hand and newspaper in the other. He did not even raise his eyes and did not notice the late Su Xiang.
