Chapter 810 He didn't come tonight?
Lu Yangyang nodded slowly, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
She slowly drank the water, sip by sip, and her previously chaotic mind finally began to calm down.
"I understand." Her voice was a little weak, and she raised her hand to press her temples. "You can go now. You've been thinking about too many things, and my head is starting to hurt."
Sheng Junyi chuckled softly, picked up the box, and turned to go into the inner room.
A moment later, Lu Yangyang heard the soft sound of a window closing. She smirked slightly, "They really are thieves. I wonder whose window they'll be breaking into next?"
Lu Yangyang yawned and told Hongyu to boil water so they could get ready for bed.
……
Sheng Junyi returned to the shop, hid the box that Lu Yangyang had given him, and on his way back to his residence on horseback, he suddenly stopped and turned his horse around.
It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the Snowfall Courtyard, the residence of the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Xiao's mansion.
Cheng Ruoxue leaned wearily against the bathtub. Her maid, Tinghe, gently massaged her forehead and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "The old lady is really something. She made you run around doing all the chores for the Fifth Master's wife's funeral. The Fifth Master's wife is still alive, or at least there's her eldest daughter-in-law. She's meddling so much, and in the end, you're the one suffering here. What kind of filial piety is she asking you to show to an old lady from another family!"
Cheng Ruoxue was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger, and she kept her eyes closed without saying a word.
Just then, a loud noise came from outside, like the sound of a vase being smashed.
Cheng Ruoxue frowned slightly.
Tinghe also looked outside following the sound: "What's going on? Who's being so impulsive?"
Seeing that Cheng Ruoxue's complexion was not good, Tinghe let go of her hand and said, "This servant will go and see her."
Cheng Ruoxue gave a soft "hmm".
After a while, the door was pushed open again. In Cheng Ruoxue's dazed state, a pair of hands pressed on her forehead, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy, so comfortable that she almost moaned softly. Cheng Ruoxue asked, "What happened outside?"
No one answered.
Cheng Ruoxue then realized something was wrong, opened her eyes, and looked up, her face meeting a pair of shimmering eyes looking down at her.
Cheng Ruoxue's eyes widened as her fingers, which had been resting on her forehead, precisely pinched her chin, lifted her jaw, and fiercely kissed her.
Cheng Ruoxue's body stiffened, her fingers unconsciously gripping the edge of the bathtub, the water surface, dotted with flower petals, rising and falling erratically with her rapid heartbeat.
Sheng Junyi's voice brushed against her earlobe, "He didn't come tonight?"
Cheng Ruoxue bit her red lips and raised her hand to slap him across the face, but stopped just in time, her fingers trembling slightly as she did so.
"I was wrong, don't hit me, I'm afraid it will hurt your hand." Sheng Junyi buried his face in her neck and gently kissed her neck. "I miss you so much, I can't bear to miss you for even a moment. I want to see you. I wanted to see you on my first day back in the capital, but I was afraid you would be angry."
Cheng Ruoxue couldn't resist any longer and pinched his cheek hard, lowering her voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll get angry now?"
"I'm here to tell you that the evidence in the Chenzhou case has been almost collected. Wait for me a little longer, and I'll come to pick you up. Take care of yourself. Don't bother with that old man's family. Do they deserve it?" Sheng Junyi's breath fell on her earlobe, carrying a hint of murmur, which made Cheng Ruoxue's cheeks flush.
Sheng Junyi actually wanted to tell her that the Rong family's affairs were not her responsibility alone. She still had her aunt alive, and they were all working hard to overturn the case and collect evidence. She wanted her to wait a little longer. However, if she said this now, she was afraid that the Rong family would be in danger in a moment of panic. The Xiao family members were all old foxes, and she was already in deep trouble dealing with them alone. She couldn't be dragged into a deeper vortex.
The Xiao family needs the Cheng family's military power. Her identity is top secret. As long as it is not leaked, she will be safe. However, if it involves contact with the Rong family's former subordinates, her identity may be exposed. So it is best not to tell her for the time being.
