Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 82 and Ji Li (1) (thanks to Anjanika for the reward)
The two became tormented together, everyone wanted to speak, but no one could speak.Shu Yao was grateful for his concern for her, felt that she had caused him a lot of trouble, and it was not easy to investigate the murderer, so she said apologetically:
"Let Uncle Jiu worry about it. It doesn't matter if you can't find the person behind it for a while, I will just leave the gate of the Duke's Mansion in the future, so that no one will rush into the Duke's Mansion."

The more she behaved like this, the more angry Shen Junzhuo became.Does she know that the capital is his territory, and he will ask about anything that happens in the capital, not to mention that it has something to do with her, so what does such a polite and distant expression mean?
He got up from the chair with a bang, tried his best to suppress the rising anger, and said:

"Second Miss, you're welcome, this is what I should do!"

Shu Yao was a little panicked, she didn't know why he was so angry, even if he didn't express his anger, she could still feel the raging anger suppressed by him.She slowly moved up from the chair and called softly:
"Uncle Nine..."

With just such a sound, his anger was vented all at once.Yes, he is her elder, she calls her Uncle Jiu, she should indeed treat him with all kinds of etiquette, she has nothing wrong with him, so the fault lies with himself, what is he still yearning for?Let her step over Gangchang ethics to run towards him?He can't be so selfish, even if he doesn't want his own reputation, he can't let her be pointed at by others!

He took a few steps forward, turned his back to her, looked up out of the window for a while, then turned around and said to her standing there:
"That's good, don't always stand, sit down."

Shu Yao felt that the nameless anger in him just now came and went quickly, but now that the anger was gone, he felt a little lonely.She obediently returned to the chair and sat down. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

The tea was cold, since he didn't speak, Shu Yao had no reason to stay any longer.She stood up and saw that he was flicking the powdered tea with her head down, her eyes were full of nostalgia when she looked at him, she couldn't look at him any more, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at him again.

"If Uncle Jiu has nothing to settle down, Shu Yao will go back." She bowed her head and bowed to him as she spoke.

He looked at her, hummed softly in his throat, but turned his eyes around her.Although there is no way to speak, he still hopes to spend more time with her.

Seeing that he didn't have any objections, Shu Yao stood up straight, turned around and left without raising her head, she knew she seemed to be running away, so when she turned around, tears welled up as expected.She took two quick steps, went out the door, pretended to be nonchalant and called Mama Liu, and said as she walked out:

"Mom, look at me, it seems like something is lost in me..."

Mother Liu followed, yelled, and said:
"Why is it so popular! Something must have entered, wait, I'll show you..."

The two of them left Lanyue Tower while talking.Shen Junzhuo came out of the tea room, stood behind them and looked at them for a while, resisted the soreness in his heart, called the servant, and told him to invite Xu Dachang.

Not long after, Xu Dachang came, and the two discussed for a long time in the study about Emperor Zhao's concubine concubine, and finally found a judge surnamed Cheng from the Imperial Medical Bureau. There was a daughter in the family who had just turned sixteen and hadn't married yet. It is said that the appearance is not bad.The two agreed to wait until Shen Junzhuo made it clear to Emperor Zhao the next day that if Emperor Zhao had no objection, the candidate would be considered a decision.
