Chapter 63 Let's Break the Marriage
Shen Lingxi and Mu Huai'an shared the same room, so naturally the door would not be closed, and there was only a brocade curtain in the private room to block the view from the outside.

It is also common for people to overhear the two of them talking outside.

When Shen Lingxi heard the voice, her eyes lit up slightly, and she turned her head to look at the person coming.

Chu Yan was still dressed as a guard last time, wearing a human skin mask, with an ordinary appearance.Wearing a black robe, there is not even a piece of extra jade pendant on the whole body.

But even so, it did not diminish his fortitude and upright posture.

Along with him was Chun Jun, an embroidered envoy who had been to Fu'an Hall last time.

Shen Lingxi stood up and saluted the two of them.

Mu Huai'an also wanted to greet him, but Chu Yan strode forward and stopped him with his hand.

He is a guard, how can he accept the gift from his master.

"My lord, the Embroidered Clothes Commander ordered yesterday that the government office, Dali Temple and Bei Yamen are not allowed to take a bath. Those who did not see you when the Embroidered Clothes Envoy came to Dali Temple came here to look for you."

After Chu Yan finished speaking, she still did not forget to raise her eyes to look at Chunjun.

Only then did Chunjun come to his senses, and he responded, "Ah, yes! That's right, I'm here to catch you back!"

He cast a sympathetic look at Mu Huai'an, "Tell me about you, the yamen is so busy, and you still hide here to be lazy. If His Highness finds out, you will be finished. No, you are already finished. This year you will be evaluated for official performance. , must be class B."

Mu Huai'an's eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them.

Understood.

It seems that the medicine he administered at the gate of Xuanping Hou's mansion that day was not strong enough, and this His Highness has not given up yet.

Well, if the person involved is present today, he can only do it again, which makes him completely give up.

"Let's just wait for the second class, that's something that can't be helped." Mu Huai'an smiled and invited them to sit down, "I have a happy event at home this month, and I really can't get away from it. In terms of official duties, I will be first-class every year in the future, so don't worry."

He did his part to sit beside Shen Lingxi, and even poured tea for Shen Lingxi with his own hands, acting like a hostess.

Chu Yan asked Chun Jun to sit opposite Shen Lingxi, and he himself sat opposite Mu Huai'an.

There was a table full of dishes, but Chun Jun was the only one who was greedy. It was embarrassing for him to see no one move his chopsticks.

Pity.

Shen Lingxi looked at Chu Yan full of joy, and asked straight to the point: "Just now you said that the embroiderer does things, and no one else can judge him. Does that mean that if my suggestion is feasible, the embroiderer might consider it? "

Mu Huai'an raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Chu Yan, and he was also curious about how he would answer.

Chu Yan lowered his eyes all the time, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, and pointed to Chun Jun next to him.

"I didn't say it, it was the embroiderer who said it."

Chun Jun had been wandering on the table all the time, and when he was called by his name, he shivered suddenly, "Ah, yes, I said it."

Seeing Shen Lingxi looking at him eagerly, he still didn't understand what was going on, so he simply raised his chopsticks, "The dishes are getting cold, this table costs more than 20 taels of silver, what a waste, why don't we... eat first?"

Chu Yan: ...

Shen Lingxi: ...

Mu Huaian: ...

Chunjun felt a chilling sight coming from the side, and he cleared his throat quickly: "I was outside just now, and I only heard a few words, but I didn't understand what was going on. You might as well tell me while you eat." Say, let me give the girl some advice, okay? Come, come, eat first, eat everything, don't waste it."

Since he said that, Shen Lingxi had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks, eat a few symbolic mouthfuls, and repeat what he said to Mu Huai'an just now.

During the whole process, Mu Huai'an didn't stay idle, and put vegetables into her bowl very attentively.

"Try it, this sweet and sour carp, be careful."

"This vinegared potato dish is also good."

"Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, I'll peel them for you."

Chu Yan looked at the way he tried his best, and a few traces of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Shen Lingxi's attention was not on the bowl in front of her at all, she just spread out the booklet and explained the contents to Chunjun one by one.

Chun Jun had enough to eat and drink, and he understood what Shen Lingxi meant.

"This is a good thing, what's the problem?" Chunjun said as a matter of course: "The government doesn't need to pay money, and secondly, it doesn't need to contribute. It's just a piece of official document, but it can still gain a good reputation. Why don't you do this kind of thing?"

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even turn his head, as if this kind of thing was a matter of course, and there was no need to ask him to go to the peak for his opinion.

Chu Yan's gaze towards Chunjun was as gentle as a gentle breeze and drizzle.

The diametrically opposite attitudes of Chun Jun and Mu Huai'an confused Shen Lingxi.

She turned her head to look at Mu Huai'an, and saw the smile on the other's face froze at the corners of her lips.

"Chunjun, are you sure you can do this?" Mu Huaian gritted his teeth, "Are you sure you want to do it for yourself, and don't give His Highness some time to think about it?"

"What's there to think about." Chun Jun directly took the booklet and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Don't worry, girl, our Highness has always been strict with himself, lenient towards others, lenient and benevolent, and compassionate... "

Chu Yan covered his lips with his hand and coughed twice.

The drama is too much.

Only then did Chunjun stop his endless praise, and promised Shen Lingxi, "In short, this matter is on me, and the embroiderer has hidden stakes everywhere, and I will definitely assist the girl's company to handle this matter It's all right."

Shen Lingxi never expected that things would go so smoothly.

She stood up happily, bowed to Chun Junfu, and said gratefully: "I will definitely hold another banquet sometime, and I would like to express my solemn thanks to your lord."

Chun Jun continued to be polite, and under Mu Huai'an's murderous gaze, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Mu Huai'an, "Shaoqing, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, you should go back to the yamen. If you stay lazy, the official performance assessment will be reduced to grade C. Isn't this year worthless? You have to learn from me."

Mu Huaian: ...

Sending Chunjun away, the stone in Shen Lingxi's heart fell to the ground.

She was finally able to talk to Mu Huai'an about their marriage.

Seeing that Chu Yan had no intention of leaving at all, Shen Lingxi had no choice but to hint to Mu Huai'an, "I have a private matter that I want to talk to Shaoqing alone, I don't know..."

Chu Yan paused, "I'll wait for you outside."

He stood up, raised his foot, and planned to leave——
"No, you don't have to go." Mu Huai'an reached out his hand to stop him, then turned to look at Shen Lingxi, "This guard is one of our own, so if you have anything to say, just say it, don't shy away."

Shen Lingxi looked at him strangely: "Are you sure? I plan to discuss with you..."

"Marriage, right?"

Mu Huai'an looked clear, "It's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it. You know me, the most enlightened, and it's best to talk. There is no need to be burdened. If you have any requests, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

With these words, Shen Lingxi felt relieved.

"That's good." She looked up at Mu Huai'an, and said straight to the point: "Let's divorce."
