The girl looked pale and could only watch helplessly as the jade pendant fell into Su Chen's pocket.
After Su Chen paid the money and put away the jade pendant, he raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands towards the girl and said, "I accept it, I accept it."
Listening to her joking tone, the girl pursed her lips and finally choked out a sentence, "We meet in the mountains and rivers, let's see." Then she led the maid away.
When Du Yao saw the girl eating turtle, the anger he had received from her just now finally dissipated, and he suddenly felt better.
"Here you go." Su Chen handed the jade pendant to his hand.
Du Yao was stunned, "Why give it to me?"
Su Chen blinked at him, "Don't you want to buy it?"
"But why are you..." Du Yao touched his hair and asked shyly.
Su Chen understood what he wanted to say, "Why is that girl so annoying? I just can't stand it and want to dampen her spirit." After a pause, "Don't you also like this jade pendant?"
Du Yao rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, his handsome face blushed slightly, but he still nodded and said: "Yes."
"Who was that girl just now?" Su Chen couldn't help but be speechless when he thought of the arrogant and rogue appearance of the girl just now.
"Her name is Chen Peishan. She is the daughter of Minister Chen. She is a well-known willful and arrogant woman in the imperial capital." Du Yao gritted his teeth when he mentioned the girl just now. It was obvious that he had been a lot angry at her just now.
Su Chen didn't know Chen Peishan, but he was just thinking about what happened just now, and what Du Yao said now, and his heart moved. He already had the gossip about the characters in the next issue. Since she is a well-known willful and arrogant woman in the imperial capital, and she is also a celebrity, she must
Many people will be interested.
He didn't expect that he could gain such a harvest just by going out for a walk. Su Chen suddenly beamed.
After discussing with Du Yao about the character cover for the next issue, Su Chen returned to Prince Li's Mansion.
Her current working place is Jifengju. In order to show her love for work, she took the initiative to walk to Xia Li's study.
She was suddenly promoted from a rough girl in the kitchen to a first-class maid beside Xia Li. She didn't know how many people were jealous, but she was not jealous at all.
No matter how good you are, aren’t you still someone else’s slave?
Although she, as a 'slave', did not fulfill many obligations, she was unhappy with being labeled as a slave.
Fortunately, Xia Li, the owner, was quite open-minded and did not restrict her freedom. Instead, she gave her unusually ample time, so she had time to work on the magazine.
But I really don't know what Xia Li'an's heart is, that he would indulge a slave like this?
Su Chen thought that he must have known his secret, so he was so relaxed about him. However, if he casually said something about the underground palace, the consequences would be disastrous.
Thinking of this, Su Chen looked longingly and excited again. The grassland outside the underground palace is really beautiful. When will Xia Li take her to play again?
She was having sex, but unexpectedly she had already walked outside the study room.
Under the corridor, Lu Yan was the only one standing guard there. The maids and guards who usually waited there were all gone.
Her intuition told her that there must be a conspiracy here.
She moved forward calmly, and Lu Yan looked at her as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
She said "hehe" and smiled twice in greeting without stopping.
Lu Yan looked at the expression on her face and had a headache. He didn't understand why the prince was so indulgent to her. At this moment, seeing her deliberately approaching, he didn't know whether he should stop her or not.
"Where is the prince?" Su Chen approached him and asked casually.
"Inside." Lu Yan's eyes were fixed on her for a moment, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly break into the study.
Su Chen naturally knew what he was thinking and didn't criticize it, but she didn't get any closer to the study and just stood side by side with him in the corridor.
Lu Yan thought she would break into the study, but she was not that stupid. If there was someone inside, they must be discussing something shady. If she broke in now, no matter whether she would hear their conversation or not. Due to the content, she might be silenced.
If she wanted to know who was inside, all she had to do was stand here and wait. The people inside would eventually come out, right?
For a long time, there was no movement from inside, but Su Chen almost fell asleep while waiting.
Maybe the people inside had already left through the secret passage. Since Xia Li dug a passage from his bedroom to the underground palace, he might have dug other secret passages as well.
Just as he was about to leave, the door to the study room suddenly opened. Su Chen subconsciously turned around. When he saw the appearance of the person who came out, his eyes were as big as a bell.
Monster, monster!
Look what she saw?
What an ancient handsome man!
The man was wearing a black robe, and his very black hair was not tied up, hanging casually on his back. His long eyebrows flew into his temples, and his slender phoenix eyes shone with a lazy and fatal charm. Confused, with a tall nose, thin lips, and a tall body, but not strong. The two hands hanging on the sides of the sleeves are slender and white, with distinct finger bones...
Su Chen stared at the person, and when she saw the person suddenly walking towards her, she forgot to look back.
A teasing voice suddenly sounded, "Fifth brother, do all the girls in your house look at people like this?"
Su Chen was stunned and didn't realize what he was talking about. It wasn't until his scalp hurt that he suddenly realized that someone had pulled a handful of his hair.
She followed her gaze and saw a small section of her hair being held in someone's hand. The hand was long and white, with distinct finger bones...
Su Chen suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and met a pair of cold, unemotional eyes. The owner of those eyes had a smile on his face that had no meaning, but it hurt Su Chen deeply.
She hurriedly took her hair back from the man's hand and said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with looking at you a few times?"
Turning back to face Xia Li's already livid face, she made a face at him. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, her wrist suddenly hurt and her whole body was pulled back.
"Fifth brother, can you give me this girl?" Xia Bing looked at Xia Li and said lightly.
Xia Li's fingers froze and he looked at Su Chen's incomprehensible little face. Suddenly his lips became dry and for a moment, he did not answer Xia Bing's words.
Xia Bing's cold gaze passed over his face, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Didn't you just say that you can give me anything I want?"
Xia Li finally raised her eyes to look at him and said in a very calm tone, "She is not a thing. Apart from her, you can have anything you want."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xia Bing's eyes, and she quickly returned to normal, "This is really unlike you. I thought you would sacrifice anything to achieve that goal, but it turns out there are exceptions." As he said that, he lowered his eyes. It fell gently on Su Chen's face, looking at her lightly with a kind of scrutiny.
