Xu Shu followed the trend and walked to Gao Zhinan. Miss Qiu Er had to retreat in shame because no one was willing to speak for her. She found that someone was looking at her mockingly. It turned out to be Miss Xiao San who just joked about her. The Qiu family was not as powerful as the Xiao family. Miss Qiu Er could only resist the idea of ​​glaring back.

Gao Zhinan handed over a hairpin to Xu Shu. She took it and gestured on the empress dowager's head. The empress dowager shook her head slightly, and she put it back. Gao Zhinan hurriedly took another one and handed it over. After several times, the empress dowager finally combed her hair bun.

The Empress Dowager looked at the mirror and then, nodding with satisfaction, "Miss Zheng Jiu has a good attitude, and the Ai family is very satisfied!"

The smile on the queen mother's face was very enthusiastic, which made Xu Shu unable to help but suspect that the person who wanted to take her life several times before was not the queen mother.

"The Empress Dowager is apologized!" Xu Shu looked at the Empress Dowager calmly. Since the Empress Dowager was going to act, she would just accompany her to act.

"The Ai family is going to change clothes, you all go back!"

"My daughter sue her!"

Everyone retreated and were welcomed to the side hall to rest. Xu Shu chose an uninhabited corner to sit. As soon as she sat down, someone came over, but the person who came was not Gao Zhinan, but Miss Xiao San.

"I recognize you!" Miss Xiao San looked at Xu Shu in a steady tone.

Xu Shu nodded, "We've seen it!"

The night Zhou Jin was still in court, they met in the Pingning Palace. Is Xu Shu really good to say this?

"We have indeed seen it!" Miss Xiao San smiled deeply, "and I have seen it more than once or twice!"

Xu Shu raised her eyebrows. What Miss Xiao San said meant was that she recognized herself?

Seeing Xu Shu silent, Miss Xiao San leaned over and said, "I knew you were not dead! Your disappearance in Pingliang City was just your plan to escape from the shell! After seeing you in the palace that day, I felt particularly familiar. Later, I found out that you had close contact with Miss Gao, so I knew it!"

Xu Shu was also lazy to cover up, looked at Miss Xiao San and asked, "Where is Xuehuai?"

Xu Shu just admitted it like this? She did not deny it or refute it?

Miss Xiao San was surprised by Xu Shu's straightforwardness, and was stunned for a moment before she found that Xuehuai was missing. "Oh...what is the human being? Forget it, she has always been elusive and often disappeared. She came back silently every few days, so I let her go!"

With such a maid by her side, Miss Xiao San was also very miserable. She was even more arrogant than her master. It would be fine if she could not be called easily. What was even more fatal was that she knew that Xue Huai was from unknown origin and had a ulterior motive, but she couldn't get rid of it. She didn't dare to tell this, for fear that she would be retaliated against. Miss Xiao San regretted it very much. She had chosen Xue Huai smartly at the beginning, so she was so worried that Xue Huai had done that she had implicated herself.

Xu Shu heard something else from Miss Xiao San's words. Today, Miss Xiao San brought Xuehuai into the palace, but now Xuehuai is gone, so where has Xuehuai been Xuehuai gone?

Miss Xiao San was about to say something to Xu Shu again, but Yu Guang saw Gao Zhinan coming, so he pretended to be just passing by Xu Shu. Before leaving, he said, "People will change, you must be careful!"

Xu Shu was stunned. Is Miss Xiao San reminding her? Did she have even seen an irrelevant person?

"What are you saying? Am I disturbing you?" Gao Zhinan walked to Xu Shu, squinted his eyes and glanced at Miss Xiao San's departure back. The eyes were a bit like the eyes when Xu Shu looked at Miss Qiu Er just now. However, Gao Zhinan had a pair of phoenix eyes, and when he squinted his eyes, he showed a slight fierce look. She obviously knew this, but she returned to normal in an instant.

"What?" Xu Shu looked up in a daze and looked at Gao Zhinan's gaze, "Oh? You said Miss Xiao San, she was planning to come here to sit. I told her that there was someone here, so she left!"

"Then was this position left for me?" Gao Zhinan asked, pointing to the soft couch on Xu Shu's left.

Xu Shu nodded, "Of course! I have always left the best for you!"

Gao Zhinan's eyes flashed and suddenly pulled Xu Shu up, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place!"

Gao Zhinan pulled Xu Shu to another room, "It's easier to talk to you if there are no one else here!"

"Zhi Nan...what do you want to say to me?" Xu Shu looked at Gao Zhi Nan, feeling a little complicated.

"Xiaoshu..." Gao Zhinan suddenly held Xu Shu's hand.

Xu Shu's hand shook and lowered her head. If Gao Zhinan could maintain the previous distance, she might be able to accept it, but now Gao Zhinan is suddenly so close, and Xu Shu's heart can't help but churn.

"Since... Uncle Xu's accident, I have always wanted to see you, but I was afraid that I would cry when I saw you sad and sad. This would only make you feel even more uncomfortable. I endured it, but I was always worried about you! Later I heard that you were sick and I was in front of the Queen Mother and couldn't get rid of it..."

Gao Zhinan lowered his head, and the bamboo-linked golden hairpin on his head was shining brightly, making Xu Shu's eyes hurt.

"It's okay, it's all over..."

Xu Shu stared at Gao Zhinan's hand holding her hand in a daze. Gao Zhinan's warm body temperature was transmitted to her hand through the skin contact. How great would it be if what Gao Zhinan said could feel as warm as the warmth felt on her hand!

"I feel relieved to see you are doing well now!" Gao Zhinan finally let go of his hand. Xu Shu looked pretty good today, at least better than she thought. Did she finally get out of the pain of losing her father?

Xu Shu also took the opportunity to withdraw her hand, snatched it again and again, but she still spread it out weakly. Some things and some people, even if she worked hard, could not be kept. Even Miss Xiao San, an outsider, noticed it. Why should she deceive herself and pretend to be confused?

"Just just now, I was really afraid that you would be stumped by Miss Qiu Er! Miss Qiu Er is the most peaceful person in normal times. I don't know what's wrong today, but I'm actually targeting you!"

"The Qiu family once went to Zheng Mansion to ask for a marriage, but was rejected. Miss Qiu Er probably held a grudge!" No matter whether Miss Qiu Er made things difficult for her today was Miss Qiu Er's own intention or instructed by others, it was no longer important to Xu Shu.

"So that's the case, I'll say it!" Gao Zhinan was stunned for a moment and asked again, "The Qiu family went to Zheng Mansion to propose marriage, but they still wanted to marry you, right?"

Xu Shu shook her head, "No, the Qiu family went to the Western Palace to propose marriage!"

Gao Zhinan nodded, suddenly showing complicated expression, "I'll just say it! At this time, the Qiu family has the courage to covet you even if they dare not covet you!"
