C84 (1/2)

Wen Jiu had a hangover the entire night, and had not woken up even on the second day.

When the palace attendant arrived to pass down the order, Jin Er and a few servants hurriedly called Wen Jiu to get up, ”Young Madame, quickly wash up and change your clothes! The decree has come from the palace! ”

”What time is it now?”

Wen Jiu stood up quickly and looked at the sky outside. The sunlight had long passed through the small window.

He actually slept so late.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the wine, so the attendant maids were quick to act.

Xie Xuan was already neatly standing in front of the hall. Wen Jiu walked to the side of the youth and said, ”Good morning, Third Brother.”

Xie Xuan glanced at her, a little different from usual. After a long while, he finally replied, ”It's late in the morning, no early in the morning.”

Wen Jiu, ”...”

Did he have to correct him so seriously? Third Brother!

Can't you just say, ”Morning?”

In the blink of an eye, the servants who were supposed to deliver the orders arrived. Wen Jiu and Xie Xuan led a group of people to kneel down.

Old Emperor gave the two other houses to Xie Heng at the same time.

Although the official position had not been promoted, the size of the mansion far exceeded that of a first rank official.

Wen Jiu thanked her, and the attendant that passed down the order even smiled as he complimented her, ”General Xie is now the emperor's big shot. Young Madame and Third Young Master are truly blessed.”

”I am indebted to the Emperor for his great kindness.”

Wen Jiu smiled as he greeted them. After hearing their greetings, he couldn't help but to give them a huge reward, accepted the land deed and the imperial edict, and sent them out of the residence.

She suddenly thought of Xie Xuan who was walking beside her, ”Third Brother, why haven't I seen elder brother today?”

It was a common occurrence for people to not see their guests, but it was quite unusual for them not to appear after receiving the imperial edict.

Xie Xuan looked at her for a moment.

Wen Jiu was at a loss, ”Third Brother, why are you looking at me like that?”

After her hangover, she was still having a headache. How did she end up in her own bed last night, drinking and drinking?

Xie Xuan's gaze turned to another direction and her voice became cold: ”Elder brother, you have come to train according to the orders, so you left the city in the middle of the night.”

”Why are they in such a hurry?”

Wen Jiu thought for a while, ”That's true, no one could guess the intentions of the other one in the palace, so it would be better to do it as soon as possible.”

Xie Xuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

Wen Jiu had the nagging feeling that something was wrong with the way Third Young Master looked at her today, but she couldn't pinpoint where it was … Something was wrong.

She did not speak, and Xie Xuan did not speak either.

The two of them stood two steps apart from each other, facing each other. The atmosphere immediately became indescribably awkward.

Normally, Third Young Master wouldn't be willing to bother with her and turned to leave. But at most, Wen Jiu only felt that Xie Xuan had a bad temper and was hard to get along with.

It's all right now.

He stood right in front of you, still and silent.

Wen Jiu felt that he would have to wait for Xie Xuan to take the initiative to speak, possibly to wait for the sea to dry up and the rocks to rot. As long as he braced himself and asked, ”Third Brother … Is there anything else? ”

Only then did Xie Xuan take out a book from his sleeve and give it to her.

Wen Jiu took it and looked at it, Female Commandment?

She was stunned for a moment before asking, ”This is for me?”

”Mm, I should have given it to you yesterday.”

It was rare for Xie Xuan not to get into an awkward situation with her, so he had a good talk with her.

He actually gave her this?

Yesterday? Isn't that a birthday present?

Wen Jiu's head was buzzing. He looked at Xie Xuan for a long time and was about to speak.

The youth had already turned around and was walking to the other side. ”Look for yourself first. If you have anything you don't understand, ask me again.” If you are unable to read, then find a female teacher to teach you. ”

Wen Jiu: ”Third Brother …”
