Noble Lady

Listening to Xue Chenyu's sarcastic words, Situ Zhen was not angry at all, but secretly relieved.

She could still annoy him and mock him, so she said that she did not completely regard him as the so-called "Prince of Chengwang" and kept her distance from him.

Thinking of this, Situ Zhen smiled and said, "Miss Xue, you are too kind. In order to see you, I naturally have to use some extraordinary means. If I knock at the door, I'm afraid you won't open it, right?"

Xue Chenyu: Of course I won’t.

But after he said that, she was at a loss for words.

No, even though he said that, why is he still so persistent?

As the saying goes, a good woman is afraid of a clingy man, he...

As Xue Chenyu thought about this, her face turned red.

She quickly slapped her face and said, "Wake up, Xue Chenyu, what are you thinking about?"

Situ Zhen raised his eyebrows. Why was she suddenly shy and slapping her face? What was she doing?

"Sir, just say what you want to say. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. It's so late, and you're standing by my window. If someone sees you, I'll be the only one who gets criticized."

There are many rules and regulations for women in this world. If this situation is seen by others at this moment, they will praise the prince for his romanticism, but when describing her, they will only use derogatory words such as fickle.

Situ Zhen knew that Xue Chenyu was telling the truth and said, "We are now in the center of drought and famine. When people are hungry, they will do anything just to get a bite to eat. So..."

"Miss Xue, if you have any problems, please tell your subordinates to handle them. If they really can't handle it, please tell me. It's better not to come forward yourself easily."

"That's what I want to say."

Situ Zhen's handsome appearance made it easy for people to think that he was fickle and unreliable. In addition, he usually acted in a nonchalant and unruly manner when he was in Beijing, which made it even easier for people to misunderstand him.

But at this moment his eyes did not drift at all, and he was determined as if he was going to rush to the national crisis.

"Okay." Xue Chenyu naturally couldn't say no, but she immediately asked, "It's just a few words. The prince can just ask Yumei to pass on the message. I'm an idle person, and the prince is busy with all sorts of things. Why bother to come here in person?"

The implication is: You are a busy person, there is no need to waste time on someone as insignificant as me.

Situ Zhen understood the meaning behind Xue Chenyu's words and said solemnly, "I was afraid that letting Yumei pass on the message would not show my sincerity. I was also afraid that you would forget it after hearing it and not take it seriously."

"Ms. Xue, you care about the people, so how can you be considered an idler? If even you are an idler, there will probably be few busy people in Haicheng County."

Xue Chenyu was ashamed: I have to say, Prince Cheng knows her quite well.

If Yumei were to pass on the message, she would really just listen and let it go.

But even if he came in person, she would not bother him unless it was necessary.

Moreover, if she encountered an emergency, she would ask him for help even if he didn't mention it.

"Thank you for your praise and kindness, Your Highness. I will keep it in my heart. If I encounter something I cannot solve, I will definitely ask you for help first."

Xue Chenyu also showed her attitude.

But Situ Zhen saw perfunctory attitude in her eyes. When he wanted to say something, he saw her covering her mouth with her hands, trying hard to restrain the urge to yawn.

When the words came to his lips, they turned into, "You've worked hard today, go wash up and have a rest early, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I won't see you off. Your Highness should also go to bed early."

Xue Chenyu was indeed extremely tired and could hardly hold back the urge to yawn madly, so she stopped pretending to greet him.

Situ Zhen nodded slightly and disappeared in the moonlight.

Xue Chenyu then relaxed and lay down on the couch again.

This time, even if the emperor came, she couldn't get up.

She didn't sleep well last night. After being ambushed and assassinated in the middle of the night, she hasn't closed her eyes since.

Finally, daybreak arrived and they rushed to Haicheng County. There were many twists and turns along the way. After arriving, they only had a brief wash and rest before starting the work of distributing porridge.

It looked like she had been standing there all day without doing any heavy work, but at the end of the day, just standing there motionless was exhausting enough.

Not to mention that after standing for a whole day, her legs and feet felt like they were ready to run away from home, as if they were no longer her own.

Xue Chenyu considered herself not to be a spoiled child. They often traveled under the stars and moon along the way, and she had never even complained. But now she was a little overwhelmed.

Moreover, there is a drought here, and the drinking water is very limited. There is no extra water for them to bathe.

At most, you can just get a basin of water and wipe it off.

But in order to get them to drink more water, she started to sweat and became sticky, but she didn't care.

With all these messy thoughts, Xue Chenyu's mind was in a mess and she almost fell asleep.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

"By the way, where's Luoluo?!"

Xue Chenyu jumped up suddenly.

After they entered the county government office, she took Luoluo to the guest room to rest, and told her that there might be dangers everywhere and not to run around.

Afterwards, she had originally planned to go to Datong Trading Company, but Du Jingyuan persuaded her to stop, so she went to help out. Until now.

She had been staying at the He family since her rebirth. Every time she saw Luo Luo, it was only for a day or two, and she didn't habitually think about having her by her side.

Luoluo didn't ride with her all the time. Sometimes he would ride a horse by himself outside to enjoy the scenery.

As a result, she was too busy and forgot about the person.

"Xia He, Xia He."

Xue Chenyu called out hurriedly.

"I'm coming." Xia He heard the call and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss, what happened?"

In fact, Xia He, who was guarding the door, heard the noise as early as when Situ Zhen appeared at the window and talked to Xue Chenyu.

But because her master didn't call her, she tactfully didn't show up.

But this time it’s different.

"Where is Luoluo? Have you seen Luoluo?" Xue Chenyu asked anxiously, putting on her shoes and walking out.

"Second Miss?" Xia He was stunned by her question, and then she answered, "I haven't seen the Second Miss. Maybe she is still in her room."

Before she could finish her words, Xue Chenyu hurried out.

She really deserves to die.

Her father and mother agreed to let Luoluo go out with them because they trusted her, but she ignored Luoluo because she was busy with her own things.

No matter how you look at it, it's her fault as the eldest sister.

It was only a dozen steps away, and her mind was full of all kinds of thoughts, even the worst-case scenario.

Luoluo was only ten years old. What if she ran out for fun during the whole day when no one was paying attention? What if she happened to meet some bad people with bad intentions?

She didn't dare to think further. If something happened to Luoluo, how would she explain to her father and mother?

Xue Chenyu was so anxious that she didn't even care about her usual manners and gait.

"Squeak." She hurriedly pushed open the door of the guest room where Xue Luoyan was temporarily staying.

Then, he met a pair of big round eyes.

"Sister!"

Xue Luoyan jumped up happily, then rushed over like an arrow and hugged her.

Xue Chenyu's chest hit her head hard, and the heavy stone fell to the ground.
