The guards attacked Cheng Beinuo without saying a word. For a moment, Cheng Beinuo was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms, unable to fight back.

Jing Si snorted coldly and pulled Shen Ling to leave. Seeing the chaos, Shen Ling quickly threw his poisonous poison into Cheng Beinuo's medicine bag.

After pulling Shen Ling into the carriage, Jing Si rushed to the groom outside and said, "Go back home!"

Shen Ling withdrew her hand and straightened out her clothes that were a little messy from being pulled by Jing Si. "Didn't I tell you about Cheng Beinuo? Why are you here?"

Thinking that Shen Ling was blaming himself, Jing Si's face turned even colder, "You are too involved in the drama! You don't know how to keep a distance from him!"

"That's just acting, it's all fake." Shen Ling explained for herself nonchalantly.

Cheng Beinuo tried to touch her several times before, but Shen Ling avoided it. If Cheng Beinuo put a hairpin on her and she was avoiding it, Cheng Beinuo might become suspicious.

However, thinking of the scene he saw in the jewelry shop, Jing Si's heart was still filled with anger.

He hugged Shen Ling and said, "You have to remember that you are my wife now!"

"Jing Si, do you like me?" Jing Si was so abnormal today that Shen Ling couldn't help but test him.

This sudden inquiry made Jing Si panic. He retracted his arm around Shen Ling and used an excuse to cover it up, "I'm just afraid that you will stain my reputation outside."

"Boring." Seeing Jing Si's quick return, Shen Ling no longer had any thoughts of probing. She leaned in the car and closed her eyes to rest. She was a little tired after spending so much time with Cheng Beinuxu and Wei Snake today.

The carriage fell into silence, and the two of them were silent all the way. Unconsciously, the clatter of horse hooves stopped, and the coachman's voice came from outside the carriage.

"National Preceptor, madam, here we are."

After hearing this, Jing Si immediately lifted the curtains of the carriage, got off the carriage and walked straight to his courtyard, telling Shen Ling, "Don't come to me."

Shen Ling looked at Jing Si's hurried back and raised his eyebrows. He was really angry. Does he care so much about what outsiders think of him?

Shen Ling bumped her elbow into the young guard Xijian who played cards with her last time. Shen Ling asked, "Hey, does your master care about his reputation?"

Xijian reached out to touch his minibus and thought thoughtfully for a while, "It seems like this."

"A few years ago, my master was seen going to a brothel to do business. Someone wanted to take this opportunity to get close to my master, so he announced that he was obsessed with her. The two had been in close contact for a long time. After the master got the news, he sent someone I went to find the top brass in the brothel, but the top brass changed his story the next day, and..."

As they talked, the two walked towards the courtyard where Shen Ling lived, opened the door, and Shen Ling poured a cup of tea and asked someone to bring me a plate of melon seeds.

She pointed to the stool by the table, "Sit down and say."

Xijian had played cards with Shen Ling before, and had been following Shen Ling to protect her recently. He knew some of her temperament, so he immediately didn't care about the difference between master and slave, and sat down without saying a word.

He continued: "Another time, the master dealt with an official who was corrupt and bribery. The official's gang members were dissatisfied with the rumor that the master had framed Zhongliang. The master was not happy with having someone investigate the official who spread the rumor about him. As a result, a lot of evidence of the official's crimes was found. , and finally sent him directly to the execution ground."

Shen Ling cracked the melon seeds and listened with relish. She couldn't tell that Jing Si really cared about the fame.

Unknowingly, the moon climbed into the sky, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the mansion were lit one by one by the servants.

Jing Si was sitting in the room holding a book in his hand, but an hour passed and he had not turned a page, and the book was even upside down.

The housekeeper had never seen Jing Si like this before. He couldn't stand it and walked to the door and called a maid to whisper a few words beside her.

After the maid left, she ran straight to Shen Ling's courtyard, "Madam, the housekeeper said that the Imperial Master has not had dinner today."

It only took Shen Ling a moment to understand what the housekeeper meant. She waved her hand towards Xijian, "Okay, let's call it a day. I'll listen to your story another day."

Xi Jian withdrew, and Shen Ling led the maid towards the kitchen.

The ingredients in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion were all ready-made. Shen Ling rolled up her sleeves and started moving her hands, so busy that the heat steamed in the air.

The chicken pieces in the oil pan are fried to brown and crispy. They are placed on a plate and sprinkled with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers. The aroma is filled with hot oil. The casserole on the stove next to it is stewed with delicious ribs. The milky white bone soup is accompanied by wolfberry. Yams are nutritious and delicious.

Dishes with full color, aroma and flavor appeared on the kitchen counter one after another. She sprinkled the white sesame seeds in her hands on the marinated roast duck. Shen Ling washed her hands and exhaled. The last dish was ready.

For the sake of these delicacies, Jing Si probably won't argue with her anymore.

Putting the dishes on the plate, Shen Ling walked to the Jingsi gate with the tray.

"Husband, I made delicious food for you. Please open the door and let me in."

The tip of Jing Si's ear inside the door twitched, but he didn't make a sound. The housekeeper looked anxiously beside him. He had watched Jing Si grow up, and it was not easy to see him marry his wife. He only hoped that the two of them could live in harmony. of.

"Master, you haven't eaten yet tonight, why don't you ask your wife to come in first?"

The housekeeper looked at Jing Si tentatively, but saw Jing Si shaking his head and refusing to open the door for Shen Ling.

There was no movement in the house for a long time. Shen Ling knew that Jing Si was still angry, so he asked someone for a fan and gently fanned it beside the food. The aroma of the food immediately spread to the house along the crack in the door, but there was still no sound in the house. .

After trying several methods, Jing Si refused to open the door to Shen Ling.

When Shen Ling was talking and her mouth was dry, a furry thing bumped into her feet. She looked down and saw that it was a kitten.

"Oh, you're here, Xiaosi." Shen Ling had already placed the dishes she was holding on the table in the outer hall. She picked up the kitten and scratched its chin. The cat purred comfortably.

"Meow~"

Looking at Xiao Si in her arms who kept rubbing her head against her palm, Shen Ling's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she had a solution.

Picking up the chopsticks, he tore off a piece of duck meat from the marinated roast duck on the table and handed it to the cat's mouth.

"Xiao Si, if your father doesn't want to eat, then I'll give it to you."

The cat sniffed what was in front of him and was successfully captured by the scent. He purred and took the duck meat into his mouth.

Jing Si's ears twitched slightly, but he couldn't hold back after hearing the sound of Xiao Si chewing meat outside the door. Those meals were specially made for him by Shen Ling, why did Xiao Si come over to join in the fun!

Putting down the book in his hand, Jing Si strode over and opened the door himself.

The door had just been opened, and before Jing Si could even see Shen Ling clearly, he saw a pink figure rushing into his arms.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a chicken drumstick was shoved into his mouth.
