After Qiao Gui recognized his biological grandson, Su Fengyi went to meet the scholar arranged for her by Xie Xuan.

The scholar dressed in white, set up a small table on the street corner, put out writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and made a living by writing letters, calligraphy and painting for people. He charged twenty cents for each letter.

The scholar looked exactly like in the painting. His physique was somewhat like Pei Yu, his features were somewhat like Xue Yu, and his demeanor was somewhat like Shen He.

What's even more amazing is that, no matter his appearance or demeanor, this scholar looks as gentle as spring water, humble and warm, and not at all like Xie Xuan's cold and reserved demeanor.

But she always felt that the feeling this scholar gave her was inexplicably similar to that of Xie Xuan.

Su Fengyi sat quietly in a private room on the second floor of Fanlou across the street and watched the scholar for a long time.

The scholar's business was very good, and many young ladies asked him to write letters for them. However, considering his income of twenty cents per letter, after deducting the cost of paper and ink, it would not be easy for him to raise enough money for the trip back home.

Su Fengyi asked Dangui to take ten taels of silver and invite the scholar upstairs.

Dangui took the silver, went downstairs and found the scholar. Then the scholar looked up at Su Fengyi, closed his stall, and followed Dangui to the private room on the second floor.

It didn't seem clear from a distance just now, but now that the scholar came upstairs and looked over, Su Fengyi felt that the way the scholar looked at her was definitely not the eyes of a stranger.

A person's appearance, body shape, posture, and expression can all be disguised.

But one person's subconscious reaction to another person cannot be disguised.

After the scholar finished his greeting, the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Fengyi was full of unconscious trust and intimacy, which was definitely the look of someone she knew.

What's more, she asked Dangui to pay ten taels of silver. A normal person would be wary of such a pie-in-the-sky thing, but there was no trace of vigilance in the eyes of this scholar.

Therefore, Su Fengyi judged that this scholar who looked like a stranger must be her acquaintance.

Why would someone she knew disguise himself as a stranger and do it so carelessly to approach her?

Could it be?

Su Fengyi looked at the scholar calmly, asked him to sit down, and then asked with a smile:

"Sir, what's your name? Where are you from?"

The scholar also laughed and said:

"My name is Cheng, and I am from Minzhou. Do you want to write a letter, young lady?"

"Oh, Master Cheng."

Su Fengyi stood up and walked over. In front of Mr. Cheng's surprised gaze, she held his hand and touched his palm.

The hand with calluses is the hand that holds a sword, not a pen.

Su Fengyi looked at Master Cheng, and Master Cheng also looked at Su Fengyi.

There was doubt in Su Fengyi's eyes. She just suspected that this Master Cheng was Xie Xuan in disguise, but with Xie Xuan's ability, if he really wanted to deceive her, he would not have made such a flawed disguise.

When Su Fengyi held his hand and stroked his palm, Master Cheng's hand trembled, and his face turned red visibly, even his ears and neck turned red, and his head even began to steam.

Su Fengyi:?

But Master Cheng did not avoid her gaze. He let Su Fengyi hold his hand and even smiled:

"Girl, what are you doing?"

Su Fengyi: ? ?

If you want to disguise, just disguise it well. Why disguise like this?

What about playing?

Seeing him like this, Su Fengyi felt as if she was facing two people at the same time, and felt somewhat disconnected.

Mr. Cheng's eyes and tone also made Su Fengyi uncertain, and she was not sure whether he was Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan never spoke to her in this tone, nor did he ever look at her in this way.

When Xie Xuan talked to her, the most common thing he said was:

"Yes, Your Highness, I am here."

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey your command."

Xie Xuan never said no when talking to her.

The look in Xie Xuan's eyes when he looked at her was always one of obedience, without any doubt.

If it was really Xie Xuan, let alone letting her hold his hand, even if she asked him to take off his clothes on the spot, he would not ask anything and would take them off quickly on the spot. How could he possibly ask:

"What is this doing?"

So, if it wasn't Xie Xuan, could the hand holding the sword be Shen He?

With his childlike nature, this is something he can do.

Seeing the atmosphere in the private room, Dangui was stunned for a moment and was hesitating whether she should avoid it.

At this time, Su Fengyi let go of Master Cheng's hand and ordered:

"Dan Gui, ask someone to go back to the Princess's Mansion and invite General Shen over. Tell him that Fan Lou has delicious snacks and I'll treat him to some of them.

Then, send Master Cheng down."

This time, Master Cheng's eyes were finally filled with surprise, but he didn't say anything more. He bowed, silently followed Dangui and went downstairs.

After going downstairs, Mr. Cheng returned to his original stall and started writing letters. Occasionally, he would look towards the second floor of Fanlou, but he would just glance at it briefly and then look away.

After a while, the sound of galloping horses came from the street. Shen He rushed to the second floor of Fanlou without even stopping his horse, and asked happily:

"Where are the delicious snacks? Where?"

Su Fengyi asked Dangui to give some snacks to Shen He, and then looked at Master Cheng, who had always been in her sight and had never left.

She was sure that the person should be Xie Xuan.

As for why, Su Fengyi probably knew.

Su Fengyi knew that Xie Xuan was loyal to the princess, but she never knew he was so loyal.

In order to solve her current predicament, give her the person she wanted who had nothing to do with her, and in order to avoid being discovered by his wife, he came up with this disguise method?

Pretend to be someone who perfectly meets her needs. After the task is accomplished, remove all traces of this person and let him leave in an appropriate way.

Apart from this reason, Su Fengyi really couldn't think of any other reason.

After giving Shen He some snacks, Su Fengyi called Dan Gui:

"Let's go."

Watching the princess riding away, Xie Xuan, who was writing at the writing booth, said to the young ladies in line:

"Sorry, I'm closed today."

Amidst the complaints of "Ah, closing so early!", Xie Xuan packed up his stall and went to the house given to him by the eldest princess.

The disguise failed.

Xie Xuan thought that the princess had discovered it.

He had already made up his mind to give her a man who had nothing to do with her, but after actually dressing up as this man, he became deeply jealous.

Why! ?

Why can anyone do it?

Why can't I?!

Xie Xuan felt like he was going crazy. He was jealous of the man he created, and this jealousy made his already determined determination waver.

The art of disguise must avoid being insincere. To disguise yourself as someone else, you must sincerely regard yourself as that person, otherwise, you will definitely be exposed.

Xie Xuan felt that today he not only revealed his flaws, but also had many loopholes.

Because he really wasn't willing to accept it!
