Treating the Concubine, Eliminating the Wife: Reborn, I Refuse to Marry the Scumbag and Marry the Pr

Bang bang bang——

Changliu banged on the courtyard door hard, and Erya hurried over. As soon as the door opened, Changliu squeezed in and asked, "Where is Shigure?"

Erya raised her head and looked at him, "He's in the house."

Changliu ran into the room and saw Shen Yu lying on the couch, reading a book. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out, "Follow me."

"Where to go?" Shen Yu was dragged to her feet.

"Qingpuju."

Shen Yu said: "I am not on duty today."

Changliu got angry and dragged her out, "You are on duty! Xi Feng just called your name."

"Then wait." Shen Yu broke away from him, turned around and took the knife from the table, and then followed Chang Liu out of the door.

Xifeng stood at the door of Qingpu Residence, and there were a group of guards, all of whom were bitter and resentful, as if his wife had run away with someone.

"What happened?"

Xi Feng's face was solemn, "Your Highness has not eaten even a drop of rice since he came out of the palace yesterday."

Shen Yu's mind turned and she said, "You can't starve to death for one day, but what happens next?"

Xifeng pursed his lips and said, "We were kicked out even when we went in."

"Then why did you call me here?" Shen Yu asked subconsciously.

Xifeng stuffed a food box into his hand and said, "Go and deliver it."

"Why did you ask me to deliver it?" Shen Yu raised her voice.

"No reason." Xifeng said stiffly.

Changliu had already opened the courtyard door, and the two of them cooperated tacitly. Xifeng pushed Shigure in, and he quickly closed the door.

Shen Yu stood still and the door closed behind her.

She turned around and stared at the door for a while. It seemed that the meal of wine and meat the day before yesterday did not help her make friends. When encountering difficulties, they still pushed her out without hesitation.

Just think of it as feeding the dogs.

Shen Yu sighed and walked towards the study carrying the food box resignedly.

There was no one in the study, so she went to Xie Tingzhou's bedroom.

The window of the bedroom was half open and the door was not closed. Shen Yu peeked in through the crack of the door. She saw Xie Tingzhou leaning on the low couch where he usually rested, with his hand on his brow, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.

Shen Yu raised her hand and knocked on the door. She waited outside the door for a moment, but there was no sound from inside, so she knocked twice more.

"Who allowed you to come in?"

"go out!"

After two cold scoldings in succession, Shen Yu responded angrily: "Oh."

In the room, Xie Tingzhou slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Yu carried the food box and walked towards the door. She was not in a hurry because she was not the one who was hungry.

Before he had taken a few steps, the door behind him opened.

Shen Yu turned around and saw Xie Tingzhou, with his dark hair disheveled, standing at the door holding the door with both hands.

"Where to go?" he asked.

Shen Yu turned back and said, "Chang Liu asked me to deliver the food. Since you are awake, just eat the food. People outside are very anxious."

She was not in a hurry. For such a big person, she could not die from hunger after several meals. When they were at Yanliang Pass, who among the soldiers had not been hungry for several days and then left hungry again?

Shen Yu walked in and put the food on the table. Xie Tingzhou was still standing there.

"Come and eat, it will get cold in a while." Shen Yu said.

Xie Tingzhou walked over and sat down. They all had Beilin dishes, but he couldn't work up his appetite now.

Shen Yu felt that Xie Tingzhou must have been disciplined very strictly when he was a child. He was very particular about eating and did not talk or sleep. He only used half of the bowl in silence and put away his chopsticks.

The stove in the bedroom had been burnt out long ago, as no one had added any charcoal to it. It was equally cold inside and outside the house, and Xie Tingzhou's white jade-like finger bones turned red from the cold.

He is a patient person, Shen Yu knows it.

Xie Tingzhou watched her busy, looking for charcoal to light the stove.

She has seen the world and is generous with her actions. The thin calluses on her hands are all caused by martial arts training. Her technique of lighting charcoal is very unfamiliar, and she is not someone who has done rough work.

Her background should be very good, not from a small family.

But who is she? Xie Tingzhou thought.

"Sit over here." Shen Yu greeted.

Xie Tingzhou didn't move. He looked like an empty shell with no sadness or joy today.

In the next one, three, five, or even ten years, he might be trapped in this imperial city.

Shen Yu lay on the table and looked at him, and said softly: "I understand how you feel. It will be fine in a few days."

Xie Tingzhou was quite surprised, "What do you know?"

"Of course I understand." Shen Yu nodded with a clear look on her face.

"It's just like going to jail. You won't get used to it for the first few days, but you'll get used to it as time goes by."

Yes, it's not like he was in jail, but the prison he was imprisoned in was a little bigger, covering the entire Shengjing, and he had a false position that seemed to have unlimited glory, but was actually shackles.

Xie Tingzhou stared at her, "You are really good at metaphors."

Shen Yu thought he was praising herself, "It's okay."

Xie Tingzhou smiled suddenly and said, "I have never been in prison. I don't think the food in Zhao Prison is so rich."

Shen Yu said quietly: "I haven't eaten it either, but I'll let you know how it tastes after I eat it in a few days."

Xie Tingzhou remembered that the Yanliangguan case was now being tried, and it wouldn't be long before she would be tried.

"The Ministry of Punishment will come to question you in a few days. Have you figured out how to deal with it?"

"Of course I tell the truth." Shen Yu was still hurt by the whip on her back. She touched her shoulder and joked: "I will tell the truth. I will tell them how I told you. I will try not to let them It hurts to be whipped."

Knowing what she meant, Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips and said, "The beating you received was not in vain."

He added, "Don't worry, no one from the Criminal Department will touch you."

After saying this, the room became quiet again.

Shen Yu thought for a moment and looked down at the knife at her waist.

This is the one she took from Xie Tingzhou's carriage when she was in danger. She loves knives, so she hasn't been willing to return it for so long, and even found a scabbard for it.

Xie Tingzhou didn't rush her, so she pretended not to know. Anyway, it was Xie Tingzhou who was protecting him with the knife.

After a moment of hesitation, she took off the knife from her waist.

Xie Tingzhou watched her put it on the table and gently pushed it toward him.

"What?"

Shen Yu said nothing and turned sideways, leaving only Xie Tingzhou with a profile.

Xie Tingzhou frowned. She was clearly reluctant to part with him. Before pushing him over, he saw her reaching out and caressing the knife.

Then she...

Xie Tingzhou looked at her slightly awkward profile. At that moment, a vague idea suddenly emerged.

Is she... coaxing him?

She saw that he was in a bad mood, so she was trying to comfort him.

She must have never coaxed anyone, so she would clumsily hold her favorite things in front of him like candy in a child's hand.

She was reluctant to return the knife before because he was unhappy, so now she is willing to give it to him.

Xie Tingzhou suddenly felt soft in his heart.

He stroked the scabbard with his fingertips and whispered, "I'll take it."

Shen Yu glanced at him secretly and said awkwardly, "This book belongs to you."
