Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi suddenly felt uneasy. Her cousin had such a strong aura that just looking at her made her feel a huge pressure, not to mention that Shen Zhiyi's face was gloomy at this time.

Tao Jiuxi could only pretend that he didn't understand and tried hard to keep a smile on his face.

Shen Zhiyi stopped talking and rode away.

It’s over... My cousin is angry again.

After Shen Zhiyi left, Jiang Shun and Jiang Qu behind him did not dare to stay for long. After saying hello, they quickly rode their horses to chase after him.

When Tao Jiuxi returned to the mansion, Tao Qingwan immediately ordered the maid to bring hot water, dressed Tao Jiuxi up carefully again, and then dragged her to the flower hall for dinner.

It is said that when my cousin is at home, I cannot eat alone in my own yard.

She once again lamented the inconveniences of living in someone else's house. If her cousin was not at home, she would have been tired today and could have just come home and fallen asleep directly. There would be no need to wash and dress up before meeting someone.

However, after waiting for a long time, the table was already full of dishes, but there was still no sign of Shen Zhiyi.

The servants naturally did not dare to urge Shen Zhiyi, and they had no way of knowing when Shen Zhiyi would come.

It’s just that according to the rules set by the housekeeper, as long as the young master is at home, the wine and food must be prepared on time.

Maids and servants were strictly prohibited from approaching the courtyard where Shen Zhiyi lived without permission, and they could only enter when summoned.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and only dared to speak in private in low voices.

Although Tao Jiuxi was getting a little impatient waiting, she didn't dare to say a word at this moment.

She didn't even mention to Tao Qingwan that she met her cousin on the way back, because she was worried that her elder sister would worry about it after she told her.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have lied to my elder sister and told her that my cousin allowed her to leave the house at will.

What if my cousin embarrasses them later?

Tao Jiuxi's heart was full of worries.

Thinking of this, Tao Jiuxi felt that he should go and check out the situation first, so he volunteered to ask his cousin.

When he arrived in front of Hanmo Pavilion, Tao Jiuxi stopped, straightened his clothes, and looked a little nervous.

The servant went to inform and after getting permission, Tao Jiuxi stepped into the study.

The study was quiet and silent, with only Shen Zhiyi sitting at the desk.

After Tao Jiuxi entered the room, she quickly glanced around and found no one else. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. She opened her mouth slightly, then quickly closed it. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask casually, "Huh? Why are you alone? Where's Jiang Shun?"

Shen Zhiyi, who was concentrating on writing, suddenly stopped when he heard this.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Tao Jiuxi sharply.

Tao Jiuxi felt his heart tighten when he saw this look, and instantly realized that he might have said something wrong.

She quickly straightened her posture and bowed respectfully: "Hello, cousin."

Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, his expression serious: "Is this how the Tao family teaches you the rules?"

"what happened?"

"Don't inquire about the whereabouts of the people around me."

Tao Jiuxi heard Shen Zhiyi's dissatisfaction and felt aggrieved.

She muttered to herself, I am not from this dynasty. It’s like a modern child coming home and seeing only his mother at home, he casually asks: Why is my father not at home?

Unexpectedly, in Shen Zhiyi's view, it was to find out the whereabouts of the people around him.

She felt that the ancient rules were too complicated, and her cousin was the same. He always looked like others owed him money, which was really annoying.

But if you think about it carefully, you realize that you do owe your cousin money.

Even if I stay in a hotel, I still have to pay, but I am very short of money at the moment.

Otherwise, I really want to give my cousin fifty taels as rent so that he won’t be so arrogant!

When it comes to money, she thinks of her current lack of money.

If she pawned Xie Jinghuan's jade pendant, it would be hard to say whether Xie Jinghuan would ask her for it back in the future.

Tao Jiuxi's gaze fell on Shen Zhiyi in front of him again, and suddenly a plan came to his mind.

She bit her lip, calmed herself down, then immediately stepped forward and tiptoed behind Shen Zhiyi.

Seeing that her cousin didn't tell her to go away, she became bolder.

Tao Jiuxi slowly reached out and gently pressed on Shen Zhiyi's temple. Shen Zhiyi's body suddenly stiffened, but he didn't move. Tao Jiuxi's fair and slender hand pressed rhythmically. After a moment of silence, Shen Zhiyi continued to write the letter in his hand.

After a while, Shen Zhiyi finished writing and put the letter paper aside to dry. Then he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes tiredly.

Tao Jiuxi remained silent. After massaging his temples, he naturally began to massage Shen Zhiyi's shoulders.

Her movements were skillful and gentle. She remembered that when she was in modern times, she often massaged her grandmother. The more she did, the better her technique naturally became.

But since her grandmother passed away, she hasn't pressed anyone else's massage pad for many years.

At this moment, her fingers gently pressed on Shen Zhiyi's slightly stiff shoulders, and she secretly guessed in her heart that her cousin must have been riding a horse these days, otherwise he would not be so tired.

Shen Zhiyi was massaged by Tao Jiuxi's comfortable technique and gradually relaxed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

He hadn't slept for two days, and Jiang Shun and Jiang Qu had already been sent away to rest by him.

After all, there have been a lot of things going on recently, and he really couldn't bear to let them suffer with him.

"Why are you so well-behaved today?" Shen Zhiyi suddenly asked, with a rare hint of tenderness in his voice, as if he was really an older brother asking his younger sister.

Tao Jiuxi's hands kept moving, and he tilted his head slightly and replied, "Isn't it the same for me every day?"

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

You're like this every day? I'd be surprised if you didn't cause trouble someday.

However, although he thought so, he held back from saying it out loud because Tao Jiuxi was so sensible today.

"Cousin, I have something to discuss with you." Tao Jiuxi's voice broke the silence.

Shen Zhiyi still closed his eyes and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"Can you lend me some money?" Tao Jiuxi asked a little embarrassedly, and then immediately added, "I'm not asking for it for nothing. I can use something as collateral first."

"If you need money, just ask Jiang Shun for it tomorrow." Shen Zhiyi's tone was very flat, as if this was just a trivial matter.

Tao Jiuxi didn't expect her cousin to agree so readily. But then she thought that maybe her cousin had misunderstood her meaning. She didn't just want a little bit, but wanted to borrow a huge sum of one thousand taels.

A huge sum of money! A huge sum of money for Tao Jiuxi.

"I need more silver..."

"What jewelry do you like? I'll tell Jiang Shun tomorrow. Just go and get it." Shen Zhiyi felt that his head, which was pressed by Tao Jiuxi, was no longer so sore and felt very comfortable.

At this moment, his mood seemed to become happier because of this comfort.
