Chapter 287 A Man Remains Young Until He Dies

Shen Yu did not move away. She stood there and let Lin Qingli kneel down and grab the hem of her clothes.

Lin Qingli burst into tears, "I am not a domestic slave. Please save me, Princess. I don't want to be sold to a brothel."

The two women were both rude and frightened when they heard this. They stepped forward and pulled Lin Qingli's fingers desperately, while gnashing their teeth and cursing.

"Damn you wretched maid, you dared to touch the princess's clothes with your dirty hands. You didn't scare the princess's robe and soiled the princess's robe. Even your ten wretched lives are not enough to compensate."

"I am not a domestic slave, Princess! I was abducted by them." Lin Qingli struggled not to let go, treating the person in front of her as a life-saving straw.

"You asked me to save you?" Shen Yu seemed to have heard something ridiculous, "Do you know me?"

Lin Qingli nodded desperately, "I know you, you are Princess Beilin."

"Then do I know you?"

Lin Qingli shook her head.

"We don't know each other, so why should I save you?"

Lin Qingli was stunned for a moment, "The princess has the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard." Shen Yu leaned over and looked into Lin Qingli's eyes, "My hands have been stained with the blood of hundreds of people. If I had the heart of a Bodhisattva, I would have died long ago."

"Princess." Lin Qingli cried: "Princess is kind-hearted and will not leave her alone."

Do nothing to save him.

In the previous life, Shen Yu was buried at the bottom of the lake precisely because someone was dying and refused to save him.

"I'm kind-hearted, but I'm not merciful." Shen Yu straightened up and looked at her coldly, "Let go!"

Seeing that the princess had stopped smiling, the woman hurriedly continued to break off Lin Qingli's fingers. This time she used a lot of force. Even if they were broken and could only be sold at a low price, they would still be pulled apart.

The noise in the courtyard alarmed the people in the hall.

When Xie Tingzhou came out, he happened to see the woman who had just been pulled away break free from her restraints and rush toward Shen Yu.

Shen Yu's wrist suddenly tightened, and she was pulled back half a step.

With a plop, Lin Qingli was kicked into the courtyard and coughed up a mouthful of blood before she could get up.

"Are you okay?" Xie Tingzhou held Shen Yu in his arms and looked up and down.

Shen Yu shook her head, "It's okay, don't use force."

"I know." Xie Tingzhou glanced at the courtyard with cold eyes, "You dare to bring anyone to the princess. Are all the people in this courtyard vegetarian?"

People knelt on the ground in the courtyard, and Zuo Changshi broke out in a cold sweat.

He was Zuo Changshi under King Wei. King Wei died, so he was lucky not to be implicated.

Today, I originally came to give gifts to ensure safety, but I didn't expect to disturb the princess.

Zuo Changshi quickly waved to the person behind him, "Why don't you quickly gag this bitch and drag her down!"

He knelt on the ground again without daring to raise his head, "I disturbed the princess today. When I get back, I will immediately ask someone to prepare a generous gift to apologize to the princess."

Without saying a word, Xie Tingzhou carried Shen Yu in his arms and walked in. After stepping through the door, he turned his head and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Shen Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "That kick is so handsome."

It feels so good to be protected unconditionally.

Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "Is there any reward?"

"Yes." Shen Yu took out a letter and patted his chest, "It's a letter someone gave you."

Shen Yu walked around the table and saw from the window that the people outside had been dragged away and the servants were cleaning the blood on the floor.

"I don't care about the one surnamed Lin. If the other girls are from good families, let them go. There are still people who need to be dealt with. Otherwise, abducting good families will become a common practice and cannot be tolerated."

Xie Tingzhou had just opened the letter and hadn't read it yet. When he heard this, he looked up and asked, "Do you have a grudge against that person?"

"A little bit, it's not a big deal. She once pushed me into the water." Shen Yu wrote lightly.

Xie Tingzhou thought for a moment and remembered that they fell into the water on the way back to Beijing. Shen Yu once told him that she was afraid of water only because she had fallen into it.

"That's easy, just throw her into the water."

"She doesn't seem to be able to swim either."

Xie Tingzhou raised his eyelids, "When she pushed my princess into the water, did she ever think that you couldn't swim?"

"That's..." Shen Yu didn't know how to tell him about the past life. It was just like a big dream, and it was actually not very important to her.

Xie Tingzhou said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it."

"Let's put it aside for now and let's get down to business." Shen Yu said, "You should read the letter first. I have already read it."

Xie Tingzhou saw the unfamiliar handwriting, so he read the signature first. When he saw Jiang Lianzhi's name, he asked: "He wrote to me, how could it be delivered to you?"

"I don't know." Shen Yu thought for a moment, "Maybe I'm afraid that I won't be able to deliver it to you, or maybe I'm afraid that you'll just throw it away."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes flickered for a moment and he sneered: "You think of men too simply."

Shen Yu didn't understand, but Xie Tingzhou had already lowered his head to read the letter, "Li Zhaonian wants to give an order to reward the Xiao family."

Shen Yu said: "Li Zhaonian is too ill to go to court. It's unclear who in the court wants to reward the Xiao family. He is an emperor and can't make the decision himself. It's quite sad."

"This is a divorce plan." Xie Tingzhou read the letter and put it aside. "If the Xiao family accepts the order, then they will definitely be on the side of the imperial court."

"What do you think they will choose?" Shen Yu held her chin and looked at him.

Xie Tingzhou looked into her eyes, his heart itched slightly, he waved her over and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"You answer the letter for me first." Xie Tingzhou put a pen into her hand.

Shen Yu looked back at him, "Why do you want me to go back?"

Xie Tingzhou straightened her head, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "Because my hands are sore for my husband, I will read it and you write it."

Shen Yu laid out the letter paper and said, "Let's talk."

Shen Yu's handwriting is very special. It is not the delicate and regular seal script popular among women nowadays, but the running script with smooth strokes and a sense of elegance between the strokes.

Shen Yu listened and wrote at the same time, and asked him from time to time, "Is this right?"

"Yeah, very good." Xie Tingzhou smiled where she couldn't see.

Jiang Ji deliberately sent the letter to Shen Yu, wanting to use this childish method to anger him, but he didn't think much.

He is Xie Tingzhou's person, and his heart is Xie Tingzhou's. What does he Jiang Ji have?

Want to anger him? He hugged Shen Yu and asked her to write for him, which would make Jiang Ji angry to death, not to mention what they were like in private.

Shen Yu had no idea about the secret competition between the two men. After writing, he dried the ink stains and prepared to put them in the envelope.

"Wait." Xie Tingzhou stopped him and added a sentence at the bottom, meaning that he was not in good health and his wife was writing for him.

Shen Yu almost laughed out loud after reading it, "Is it necessary?"

"It's necessary." Xie Tingzhou said, "What if he doesn't know what I meant?"

"You use your tone." Shen Yu pointed to a place and said, "It also says this king here."

Xie Tingzhou didn't care and folded the letter calmly.

No matter how old he is, the spirit of youth cannot be extinguished.

The man's competitive spirit is at work, he must win, not only must he win, but it would be best if he could directly anger Jiang Ji to death.

"You are so naive." Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Lin Qingli is the daughter of Jiang Lianzhi's mentor, and they are childhood sweethearts."

"Who is Lin Qingli?"

"The one you kicked away just now."

Xie Tingzhou thought for a while and said, "Then add another sentence for me, saying that I kicked his childhood sweetheart until she vomited blood and sold her to a brothel."

Shen Yu looked at him, "Xie Tingzhou!"

Xie Tingzhou carried out his fear of his wife to the end, "Okay, I won't add this sentence."
