My Little Girl (93)

On the day of the holiday, Shu Nuan changed into a warm-blue water-sleeve dress and got on a carriage . She went out of the city early to wait for Sheng Qianmo, who still had to deal with some urgent matters at the military camp . When finished, he’d come looking for her .  

But Shu Nuan had already been waiting for an hour and was feeling bored . She lifted the curtain of the carriage: in her hand was the dragon beard candy she’d bought on the way . She leaned on the window and ate her candy .

After she’d finished a whole pack, Sheng Qianmo was still nowhere to be seen .

Shu Nuan had an impulse to go to the military to find Sheng Qianmo . As she thought more about it, she couldn’t help but want to do it even more .

Maybe it was because when she’d been taken to the military camp by Sheng Zhiyu, Sheng Qianmo hadn’t shown any dislike at her coming . So, she’d gotten a bit courageous . After hesitating for a long time, Shu Nuan summoned up the courage to say to the coachman, “Lets go to the Fourth Prince’s military camp . ”

Shu Nuan wasn’t sure if Sheng Qianmo would be unhappy to see her . But she really didn’t want to wait outside the city either . If the prince was too busy, she could just wait for him there .

Shu Nuan believed it to be a good plan, but it would soon develop into another thing altogether .

Outside the military camp, she got out of the carriage, wanting to send a guard with the message of her arrival . But she’d only taken a few steps when, from a distance, she saw Sheng Qianmo coming out of the military camp accompanied by a woman: Ji Xili .

Ji Xili and Sheng Qianmo were talking about something . That said, a corner of his lips was turned upwards, and there was a delighted look in his eyes .

It turned out to be true… He was busy .

Shu Nuan stood behind a tree, looked at the two in silence for a long time, before she decided to return to the carriage . When the coachman saw her come back so soon, he was surprised . But he didn’t have the time to ask for a reason, as Shu Nuan muttered, “Please send me back to the city . ”

When they reached their destination, she got out of the carriage and left by herself . She bought a pack of dragon’s beard candy and found a street vendor’s bench to sit down and eat it .

“Su Su, you can’t eat anymore . Too much will make you ugly!” a  maidservant threatened a young master nearby with a deceitful tone, but the boy didn’t believe her . Instead, he pointed to Shu Nuan and said, “This sister eats a lot, but she is still very beautiful!”

Speaking of the person pointed at, Shu Nuan took a pause and was a little embarra.s.sed as she looked up to see a little boy wearing a yellow robe running towards her .  

He naively asked, “Beautiful sister, can I invite you to a meal?”

The maidservant came over to him in embarra.s.sment and shouted, “Master, we have to go back . ”

Shu Nuan thought the child was very interesting . She gave him a pack of candy she hadn’t touched yet and said, “Here you are . ”

Little Su took it and thanked her politely . With a tender and soothing voice, he added, “Can I invite my beautiful sister to a meal next time?”

Shu Nuan didn’t think there would be a next time meeting the little guy, but she still said, “Okay . ”

After saying goodbye to the little boy, Shu Nuan finished the rest of her candy and decided to go back .

Only a short walk later, she heard someone fall down behind her . She turned her head instinctively, and what she saw caused her brows to knit together a little . The person who’d fallen down was Wen Zhigu .

Shu Nuan walked back to help her . Wen Zhigu didn’t look at her, although she thanked her in a cold manner . With a still lowered head, she bent to pick up something she’d dropped on the ground .

When she reached out with her hand, Shu Nuan noticed a gauze wrapped around her left wrist, and the dim blood stain visible upon it .
