Chapter 117: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (14)

“I’ve heard a lot about you from Ningcheng . In fact, it seems quite normal to me . You really don’t have to spoil your interest for such things . ”

When Su Huang mentioned this, Ningcheng Yuan couldn’t help but mutter, “Shu Nuan can live without you, but why should others suffer because of that?”

Sheng Qianmo gave Nincheng a stern expression, his indifferent eyes causing cold sweat to run down the other’s back . In a flash, Sheng Qianmo picked up his cup and drank a mouthful without batting an eyelid .

“You think too much . I didn’t do this without reason,” Sheng Qianmo replied . He wouldn’t spoil his mood for a thankless topic .

That day when he’d made Ningcheng Yuan report to him at the military camp, Nincheng had told him about what had happened at the academy . Sheng Qianmo had rode to the palace without much thought .

For no other reason than that he didn’t like other people handing out punishments to his people .

Even if Shu Nuan had done something wrong, he would teach her a lesson himself .

But what he hadn’t expected that when he arrived at the palace, he didn’t find Shu Nuan . The dowager had told him in a reluctant tone, “Qianmo, this child is not meek . I used a cup of peach wine to scare her, and she agreed to leave you . Such a person isn’t worth your attention . To put it bluntly, after all, she is young and not well-raised . ”

Ah Shuang drank the fake poisonous wine in front of Sheng Qianmo .

In fact, in Sheng Qianmo’s own view, Shu Nuan’s decision hadn’t been wrong, given the choices . However, it had revealed that she didn’t believe in him, and nor did she believe that he would protect her . Despite the fact that she was obedient to him, when it would come to her life, she wouldn’t hesitate to leave him .

This was an important point .

This was also a point that Sheng Qianmo couldn’t tolerate .

Since she’d chosen to leave him, he wouldn’t give her another chance in the future .

Ningcheng muttered, “That’s a nice way to say it . It’s not the same thing in a military camp . ”

“Alright, you can talk less . ”

Su Huang’s voice had just fallen in their eyes, when a familiar voice came from behind them .

“You guys are no fun . You started before Xili and I arrived!”

Ningcheng Yuan looked at Sheng Zhiyu and Ji Xili coming in, and said, “Tut . You should thank me! I sent someone to call you here! Su Huang didn’t mean to call you!”

Ji Xili said, “Oh, Su Huang has been a bit dismissive recently . ”

Sheng Zhiyu took the initiative to sit beside Su Huang . He took a cup and poured wine for himself, saying, “He never takes people seriously . ”

A few people were made happy, but Su Huang, who was exposed, felt quite helpless, having to pay a fine of wine to Sheng Zhiyu .

Ningcheng smacked his shoulder and said, “Why don’t you call a guqin girl to help him cheer up?”

“Do you want to take the opportunity to flirt with a beauty?” 

Ji Xili caught him in a glance . Ningcheng Yuan’s cunning plot had never been seen through until now . Although the Moon Pavilion was just a decent place, the guqin girls were all gorgeous, and Ningcheng called one to play the guqin every time he came here .

“It is still the Ji Xili that knows me best!” Ningcheng Yuan said with a smile . He took the initiative to find the boss and call a guqin girl, leaving the rest to sit back to drink and converse .

While Ji Xili drank a mouthful of wine, she glanced at Sheng Qianmo  and asked, “Qianmo, will you go hunting with me in the suburbs in a couple of days?” 

Ningcheng Yuan immediately turned to stare at her .  

“Xili, you’re too much! How could you only invite him!” 

Ji Xili replied in calm voice, “Even if I don’t ask you to come, you will . ”

Ningcheng Yuan paused, giving a shy smile .

Sheng Qinamo took a sip of his wine and gave a faint response .

 “Yes . ”

Ji Xili smiled in response .

However, Sheng Zhiyu’s gaze was somewhat depressed . He said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “I can also go…”

Ji Xili turned to him and smiled . “Of course, we can go together . ”

Just then, someone gently knocked at the door .
