The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Chapter 39 Mirage
Tan Shu's pupils were smiling under his crow-feather eyelashes, and the slightly upturned ends of his eyes added a bit of laziness and coldness.

Not a friendly smile.

After being exposed to him so many times, Jiang Wenyu could basically tell whether his smile was evil or kind.

She blinked angrily and said dryly: "Your Majesty, you can also write my handwriting and sell it."

Tan Shu looked at Jiang Wenyu with a pair of dark eyes and remained silent.

After a moment, he tapped the broken flowers on her hand with his eyes, and asked in a gentle tone: "Are you grateful to uncle for leaving you?"

This question sounds like 'your heartless father has abandoned you'.

When the words 'Uncle Xie' were mentioned, Jiang Wenyu was in a trance for a moment. After realizing that it was Xie Zhiwei, he suppressed his smile and said softly: "No, he went to Wangyue Tower."

Tan Shuxin said, you were in Zhaixing Tower, and Xie Zhiwei went to Wangyue Tower. Isn't that just leaving you behind?

I don’t know what to think.

Tan Shu stood up, lowered his head and adjusted his cuffs slowly.

Jiang Wenyu threw away the broken flowers in her hands and stood up. The petals on her skirt fell as she stood.

"Your Majesty, do you have any news about my master?"

Tan Shu looked at Jiang Wenyu with his eyes, and then said after a while: "Zhong Zibian is your master, not mine. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

Jiang Wenyu looked at him with doubtful eyes: "Aren't you looking for Master Zi Bian?"

Tan Shu glanced at her sideways and said with a half-smile, "If I remember correctly, it was you who wanted to help me find it."

Jiang Wenyu said: "Yes, but I didn't find it."

Tan Shu said: "This is your problem, not mine."

Jiang Wenyu smiled and said, "Then what is the prince's problem?"

Their eyes met, and no one looked away.

In Tan Shu's eyes, Jiang Wenyu smiled crookedly, with bright eyes and lively brows, just like a bird jumping on the spring branches.

She is always very attentive when looking at people.

For a long time.

Tan Shu tugged at the corners of his lips casually, with a smile in his eyes, and said coldly: "I don't have a problem."

Jiang Wenyu secretly cursed that this prince's mouth was harder than a stone.

He probably knew that Lin Qu's case was not over and the cooperation between the two was not established, so he did not let her find Zhong Zibian.

Tan Shu pulled his gaze back from the lake and found Jiang Wenyu's face wrinkled and miserable, as if he was thinking about a huge problem.

He asked, "What do you think?"

"Master Uncle Zique said that he has never met Master Qi. I'm wondering if Master Zibian is lying." Jiang Wenyu said.

She felt that Zhong Zibian didn't like her as his disciple, so he brought up a seventh master to lie to her?
Tan Shu said decisively: "No."

Jiang Wenyu looked up at him.

Tan Shu said quietly: "There is a seventh master in the capital who may be related to your master."

"Which one?" Jiang Wenyu asked curiously.

Tan Shu looked at her with unclear meaning, and Jiang Wenyu blinked without changing his expression.

Tan Shu didn't answer, and Jiang Wenyu didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them squinted at the sky, where the scaly clouds were already covered with rosy clouds.

Tan Shu calmed down and asked her lazily: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Wenyu said: "Zhaixing Tower."

"Let's go." Tan Shu passed her and walked out without looking away.

Jiang Wenyu lifted up the hem of his skirt and followed him: "Your Majesty, do you know the way?"

Tan Shu: "I don't know."

"?"

Jiang Wenyu asked in confusion: "How can I go if I don't know the way?"

Tan Shu said: "Walk with your feet."

Jiang Wenyu: "..."

When Jiang Wenyu walked out of the pear garden, he had to pass through a large pear tree. When Jiang Wenyu crossed the bluestone, he was thinking about what he had just said, but without paying attention, a branch slapped his head.Tan Shu has a good ear. Hearing the sound, he stopped and turned around.

He raised his eyes and found that the hairpin on Jiang Wenyu's head was caught on a branch. As she walked forward, the branch pulled her hairpin out of her hair.

Tan Shu walked straight towards Jiang Wenyu without thinking.

The moment the hairpin fell, he raised his right hand to catch the hairpin quickly, and lightly pressed the branch with his left hand to separate the two.

Jiang Wenyu was stunned.

Tan Shu put the hairpin back into her hair with his backhand.

Jiang Wenyu's eyelashes trembled slightly and he thanked him cheerfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tan Shu lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then said casually: "The hairpin is pretty good."

Jiang Wenyu raised his hand and touched the hairpin on his head, arched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My grandfather gave it to me, I like it very much."

Tan Shu's eyes fell on the strand of stupid hair on her head, and he chuckled. It was unclear what the smile meant.

Jiang Wenyu looked towards him, but before he could see clearly, he heard a "click".

It sounded like something breaking.

Jiang Wenyu looked sideways curiously, only to see that the branch that had hooked her earlier had disappeared.

Before she could speak, Tan Shu had already stopped as if nothing had happened, turned around and continued walking out.

Jiang Wenyu lowered his head and saw the pear branch broken by Tan Shu and falling to his feet.

The pedicels are slender, with red pistils and white pistils, and they open in clusters.

She bent down to pick it up, took the pear blossom branch in her hand, and ran after it.

Jiang Wenyu was behind Tan Shu and kept talking to him. Tan Shu had never seen anyone talk so much in his life.

The two stopped, and Tan Shu pointed the direction to Jiang Wenyu, "Go straight forward, turn left at the pavilion, go to the end and then go back, and finally go to the right at the fork in the pavilion."

Jiang Wenyu: "..."

Doesn't this route sound like it's just going to go around in a big circle and get back to where we started?

He did it on purpose.

Jiang Wenyu turned sideways and pointed to the extremely conspicuous building not far away: "But isn't that the Star-Zhaing Tower over there?"

Tan Shu said without changing his expression: "No. That's a mirage."

"There are mirage towers beside the sea, and the vast fields are empty and empty." Jiang Wenyu said, "This is the first time I see a mirage without the sea. I want to go and see it."

She looked like she was going to explore. Tan Shu smiled and said, "You can go if you want."

"Okay, goodbye, Your Majesty."

Jiang Wenyu said goodbye to him and walked in the right direction.

Tan Shu's eyes followed her, and he stared at the pear branch in her hand for a while, then turned and left.

*
Jiang Wenyu returned to Zhaixing Tower and continued to sit in a quiet place, looking at the pear blossoms out of boredom.

When night fell, Xie Zhiwei sent someone over to find her to Wangyue Tower and then send her back.

Su Qianqian and Li Zhaoyi were together and would not think of Jiang Wenyu, so she nodded.

The turquoise water reflected the majestic tower. As Jiang Wenyu walked along the corridor beside the pool, he saw Xie Zhiwei talking to others in the distance.

Although Xie Zhiwei earned the nickname "The Living King of Hell" due to his behavior that his relatives do not recognize, and everyone is afraid of him, his position is very high, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with him.

When a pedestrian passed by Jiang Wenyu, a folding fan fell down.

People passing by stopped in front of her.

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyes and found that the person looked familiar. After searching in his mind, he finally remembered who it was.

Wei Ze'an was thrown out by Tan Shu in Yuxiang Tower before.

Wei Ze'an looked Jiang Wenyu up and down with his naked eyes, his unconcealed gaze made people feel uncomfortable, as if he was about to whistle in the next second.

"Where did this little beauty come from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
