I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 723: Half the Secret

night.

Shen Garden was filled with neon lights and the sound of cicadas could be heard in the courtyard.

Jiang Huashan held her chin with one hand and fiddled with the gem in front of her.

She had always been resentful towards Old Lady Gu because the Gu family had intervened in the Weiyangtai incident. However, when she learned that the old lady had fought against an old-fashioned family as a woman with a divorce certificate, she couldn't help but respect her.

Isn’t Mrs. Gu just Mrs. Wu from another perspective?

If she remembered correctly, the old lady of the Gu family would not live for many more years. In her previous life, Shen Qingyu agreed to get engaged to the Lan family only a month before she became critically ill.

The engagement party was simple; the Shen family didn't even receive an invitation. From this perspective, perhaps there was something else behind what happened back then.

"Ding-dong-"

Just as she was lost in thought, a message popped up on her phone.

Jiang Huashan took a look, her eyes changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she picked up the poor little thing and shouted to the main hall, "Auntie Zhang, I'm taking Xiaogui out for a walk."

When Aunt Zhang heard the voice, she immediately came out of the main hall, her face full of joy. "Great. It's still early, so we should go out for a walk."

She was either lying down or lying on her stomach every day, which made Zhang's mother very distressed. Every time she heard that she wanted to go out for a walk, she wanted to beat drums and gongs to send her out.

Jiang Huashan laughed and nodded guiltily.

After leaving the Ju Garden, she walked towards the health center. Since it was converted into a swimming pool, there were basically no people here at night.

Jiang Huashan pushed open the gate and stretched her neck to look inside.

In the moonlight, a lonely and sparse shadow fell on the bluestone tiles beside the swimming pool. Her eyes moved slightly, and she closed the door and walked over quietly.

"Shh~"

Shen Guiling had heard the noise outside the courtyard a long time ago and was amused by her vigilant look. Feeling someone approaching from behind, Shen Guiling turned around and said, "It's me."

Jiang Huashan finally let down his guard and rushed forward, holding the poor little thing in his arms. "Are you looking for me?"

After she turned eighteen, Shen Jiao explicitly forbade Jiang Huashan to be alone with any adult male in the room for more than ten minutes, especially Shen Guiling.

Jiang Huashan knew that Shen Jiao meant well and did not disobey. She was just curious as to why it took ten minutes.

Shen Jiao said cryptically, "You can do a lot of things in more than ten minutes, but you can only do so much in ten minutes. Women can endure it, but men can't. I was the one who stopped them in the first place, so the rules are naturally for them."

"..."

From then on, she and Shen Guiling had to avoid Juyuan every time they conspired, and after a few visits, they found their current secret base.

"Yeah." Shen Guiling pulled her and went directly to the small dark room where they had trained before.

Although training is no longer needed, Shen Zhuang still retains the room for the three of them, and the house is always cleaned and looks as clean as new.

It was not convenient to turn on the lights in the room, so Shen Guiling closed the door and opened the two wooden windows. The two of them leaned against the window. The cold moonlight poured in like a veil, spreading a silver frost on the ground. Their shadows overlapped and fell on the ground. If you didn't know, you would think they were a pair of lovers hugging each other.

"What happened?"

In fact, Shen Guiling was called to Yao Mansion yesterday, and Jiang Huashan had been looking for an opportunity to ask him, but it was inconvenient during the day because there were so many people around. If Shen Guiling didn't come to see her tonight, she would try to contact her tomorrow.

Her eyes glowed in the dark, and Shen Guiling couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her eyes.

Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment, observing his expression and frowning, "What's wrong? Did Yao Ge bully you again?"

Shen Guiling shook his head, "No."

Jiang Huashan was skeptical, "Really?"

There was one thing she had always found puzzling: given Shen Guiling's temperament, how could he have tolerated Yao Ge to this extent? He should have had many ways to kill Yao Ge, so why wait until now?

"Yeah." Shen Guiling paused, "Something happened... How many days will I be away?"

"You want to leave too?"

Why is everyone leaving suddenly?

Jiang Huashan thought about it for a moment, then stared into Shen Guiling's eyes, "Where are you going?"

If she was just going to be away for a few days, Shen Guiling wouldn't have to specifically ask her out.

"S country."

Jiang Huashan frowned, his expression becoming more serious. "What are you going to do?"

Shen Guiling sighed softly and raised his hand to poke her between the eyebrows. "Don't be so fierce. I didn't want to hide anything when I came to you. I just haven't figured out how to say it yet."

Jiang Huashan had a blank expression on her face. "Then you think about it carefully. I'll take a nap first."

Shen Guiling chuckled and raised his eyes, "I went to Country S for Shen Nian."

Jiang Huashan was stunned, "Shen Nian?"

Shen Guiling nodded, "Yes."

Then, he recounted how he explained Shen Qian's fake life-and-death scheme. He did not mention what happened at the Yao Mansion because no one could accept the person they loved seeing their worst side.

Even though he knew clearly that his youthful weakness had nothing to do with him now, and he also knew that Jiang Huashan might not care, he still couldn't change his pitiful self-esteem.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Aunt Zhang was watering the garden with a kettle when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately put down her work and went forward to open the door.

In the moonlight, the man's noble profile was incredibly handsome.

Aunt Zhang was momentarily dazed. "Master Lan... Master Lan Xi?"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes and glanced towards the embroidery building. "Has Shanshan rested?"

When Shen Jiao set the rules, she specifically reminded Zhang Ru of this. Zhang Ru didn't dare to break the rules and didn't let Shen Lanxi in. She smiled and said, "The young lady took the little turtle out for a walk."

walk?

This is really inconsistent with Jiang Huashan's personality.

Shen Lanxi hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "Where did you go for a walk?"

Aunt Zhang shook her head. "Oh, that's hard to say. We could just stroll around the flowerbed in front, but maybe we'll go to the Winter Garden or Spring Garden to look for Miss Sui'er and Miss Mianzhi. Master Lanxi, what can I do for you?"

"It's okay." Shen Lanxi turned and left.

He originally planned to return to the Orchid Garden, but when he turned into the courtyard, he suddenly changed his mind and walked towards the Winter Garden.

Gao Zhi hummed and followed silently behind him.

He even knew how to find opportunities to create chance encounters. He finally got it! This time he really got it!

The atmosphere of the small dark room is hidden.

After listening to Shen Guiling's story, Jiang Huashan's face immediately darkened.

"No! I don't agree with you going!"
