"Is there anything my mother is asking me for?" Xu Shu put down her finger and turned to look at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu hesitated for a moment, and was hesitating how to answer, Xu Shu had already nodded, "I understand, I'll go change my clothes and go!"

When he arrived at Chunhui Academy, Xu Shu found that Li was particularly enthusiastic today. Xu Shu's attitude was always light, but Li's enthusiasm was not at all discounted. He greeted the maid beside him, "Take the things up!"

Xueying then gave her a box of seven or eight inches long inlaid with mother-of-pearls. Li pointed to Xu Shu and said, "Give it to Sister Shu!"

Xu Shu asked Wanfeng to pick him up and thanked Li, "My mother knew that her daughter was leaving, so she was rushing to give her some good things?"

The expression on Li's face stagnated, "This is the gift from Mr. Fu Er to you!"

"Return the gift?" Xu Shu was slightly surprised. Although her mother gave something to Mr. Fu in her name, the Fu family was a little scheming and should return the gift to Mr. Xu, not herself? Moreover, her mother said so generously that she planned to confess that she gave something to Mr. Fu in her name privately?

Li nodded, "During the Lantern Festival, I heard about what happened when you met Mr. Fu Second Master. Mr. Fu Second Master had sincerely sought the peace talisman, but I couldn't get it because of your reasons. I felt very sorry. I happened to find a peace talisman that Master Miaofan had been radiant today, and I gave it to you with some food. Even if I compensated Mr. Fu Second Master Fu Second Master was very happy after receiving the peace talisman. He returned two baskets of fresh shrimps and said that you were eating this and this wooden box. Mr. Fu Second Master said that this box must be handed over to you!"

Even the flattery was so considerate and meticulous that Xu Shu felt powerless even when she was contemptuous, "Mother is intent!"

Li waved his hand humbly, "A small matter! Mr. Fu is also a very kind person. I heard that the two brothers of the Qi family almost started fighting with Mr. Fu that day, but he came forward to mediate!"

That day, Fu Junqian almost fought with Qi Rui, and Li's heart was too fast. Before the Qi family could catch it, they were already planning to step on the Qi family and cling to the Fu family.

Li pointed to the box again and said earnestly, "Open it and see. The servant fell down when he sent it here, don't break the things inside!"

It is obvious that Li's tone was about to know what was in the box, but the things came to Li's place first. If Li wanted to know what was inside, wouldn't he know if he opened it earlier? And he wouldn't he be discovered by Xu Shu, but now he asked Xu Shu to open it in person? What is the purpose of asking Xu Shu to open it in person?

Xu Shu didn't understand Li's instructions, but she took the box over and instantly solved her doubts after touching them.

It turned out that the lock of this box was a special mechanism lock, not an ordinary lock. It was not that Li didn't want to open it, but he couldn't open it, but he wanted to know what was inside, so he called Xu Shu over, and she thought Xu Shu could be opened.

Xu Shu touched the lock and said, "My daughter can't open..."

Li was a little disappointed and said anxiously, "Why can't it be opened?" After a moment, he smiled concealedly, "I'm afraid that the things inside will be broken, so I asked you to open them. Since I can't open them, please take them back first and study them slowly!"

Xu Shu nodded and stood up, "Then my daughter will go back first!"

"Go!"

Xu Shu said again, "The things in Shulin Pavilion are almost done. My daughter will set off for Taohua Villa tomorrow!"

"So quickly!" Li was stunned, and a feeling of unspeakable arises in his heart. Is it sadness? Shouldn't worry? Or will he be reluctant to leave?

After a long time, Li nodded weakly, his voice a little erratic, "Be careful on the road. When you arrive at the village, remember to send someone back to report a letter. If you live in the village, you will come back if you don't like it. I have someone to clean Shulin Pavilion diligently, and the storage is always clean!"

"Okay!" Xu Shu nodded and turned around, walking slowly and decisively. Li looked at the petite back and disappeared little by little before her eyes and was stunned for a long time.

"Madam..." Madam Wu called out aside and handed over a handkerchief.

When Li touched her face, she realized that she was covered in tears. She took the veil and wiped her face. Li murmured, "What's wrong with me? Why am I crying? She is not coming back, will she come back again, right? Isn't it?"

"Maybe!" Madam Wu, who was asked by Li, replied vaguely.

"Sister Shu will definitely come back! She will definitely come back!" Li held the handkerchief and swore, not knowing whether it was for someone else or for herself.

Madam Wu sighed softly. It was Li's fault for the mother-daughter relationship between Li and Xu Shu to this point. Li claimed to love Xu Shu, but in fact, she was the same as the rest of the Xu family. She treated Xu Shu as the object of asking for it, and took care of Xu Shu whatever she wanted. Whenever she encountered something difficult, the first thing she thought of was Xu Shu. She even regarded Xu Shu as a bargaining chip for the power and wealthy. She had never treated Xu Shu as a daughter?

"Shu Jie'er told me everything before, but now she hides it from me!" Li shook her head in disappointment, "When she opened the box just now, she clearly could open it, but she told me that she couldn't open it. She didn't want me to know what was in that box!"

Madam Wu disagreed, "Madam, you have also found a craftsman to see it. The box is not so easy to open!"

Li waved his hand, suddenly thought of something, pulled Madam Wu over and whispered, "Do you think Sister Shu'er has something else to do with Mr. Fu? Have they met only at Hanxi Temple?"

"This..." As Xu Shu's reputation was concerned, Madam Wu dared not speak easily.

But Li just thought that Madam Wu was acquiesced by her silence. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. "It must be! Sister Feng told me that Mr. Fu Er was next to Mr. Shu Er in the Exiled Immortal Tower that day. Mr. Shu Er sat next to Mr. Qi. Mr. Fu Er moved a stool and inserted it between the two of them. The shrimps sent today were also said that Sister Shu liked to eat. If they had only met at Hanxi Temple, how could he know that Sister Shu liked to eat shrimps?"

"This..." Madam Wu was even speechless, but in her heart Xu Shu shouldn't be what Li said.

But Li was immersed in her own thinking and couldn't extricate herself. "This spring, something happened to Sister Yuan. The Song family came to her and made a marriage contract. Sister Shu told me that she helped the Song family. Our Xu family had two good marriages, one with Sister Ting and the other with Sister Feng! I was curious at the time why she suddenly gave up the marriage to Duke Rong's mansion. It turned out that she had encountered something better and looked down on the Qi family anymore, so she gave it up!"
