The next day, Shen Qingxu woke up early in the morning. The cold air made her mind much clearer. She had breakfast with Xu Xingyi and Wen Qiliang, and prepared to return to Beijing.

When the few people walked out of the post station gate, they happened to see Mu Yunzhou and Yuanbao pacing slowly back and forth in an open space not far away. After a while, they looked up at the other end of the official road, as if they were waiting for someone.

Finally, a small group of people came towards them. Mu Yunzhou waited for the person he was waiting for. It was the old butler of the Mu family, a man in his forties wearing navy blue shorts. The butler brought a large group of people to pay their respects to Mu Yunzhou. The maids, old women and doctors came up one by one to check on Mu Yunzhou's condition.

"Shen Qingxu, do you want to come with me? My family has prepared a comfortable carriage to pick me up." Mu Yunzhou had his maid put a cloak and hood on him while he invited Shen Qingxu and others to ride with him. He heard Yuanbao say that he had slept in yesterday and it was too much trouble for others.

"No need, we'll leave first." Xu Xingyi pulled Shen Qingxu along and said to the soldier driving the carriage, "Get ready to go!"

"See you later, Miss Shen." Mu Yunzhou bowed to Shen Qingxu and said goodbye.

Shen Qingxu turned around after hearing that, and waved with a smile.

"See you later."

Shen Qingxu looked at the gorgeous carriage leaving with a look of surprise and admiration in her eyes. This carriage was so beautiful. This Mu Yunzhou must be the son of a wealthy family.

Seeing this, Xu Xingyi forcibly pulled her head back.

She was a little unhappy and pushed him away: "Xu Xingyi, you hurt me!"

"How long have you known him? You don't even know who he is, yet you smile at him and stare at his carriage. Can you please stop being so naive?"

"I think his carriage is so beautiful, with lanterns hanging on the four corners!"

"You have to remember, Shen Qingxu, these dandies are not good people, and it's not winter now. That guy is wearing a cloak and a hat, he might have a serious illness! Stay away from him!"

"Don't generalize. Mu Yunzhou may be the son of a rich and powerful family, but he is not the kind of person who oppresses the common people."

"You know it again, think about it, over the years, how many of the noble family children we have met are good people? They either oppress the people or eat, drink and have fun. This kid might be a bad guy too."

Shen Qingxu listened to Xu Xingyi's scolding and didn't quite agree. If Mu Yunzhou was a bad guy, why would he go to the trouble to rescue her from the bottom of the pool? After all, she owed him a life, so this was a huge favor.

"Xu Xingyi, don't be so malicious. Although he is a nobleman, he is the one who saved me. He doesn't look like a bad person."

"Can you tell a good guy or a bad guy by looking at his appearance? You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance, and I think he has bad intentions." For some reason, Xu Xingyi hated Shen Qingxu smiling at other men, and he also hated Mu Yunzhou staring at Shen Qingxu all the time.

"What's wrong with you? He saved me! He's my savior, can you please stop being like this? Also, it's not their fault that I fell off the cliff. You've been talking so harshly today and have a sour face towards everyone you meet."

Shen Qingxu had a cold expression. Xu Xingyi in front of her made her very angry, but she still suppressed her anger. After all, what Xu Xingyi said was true that few of the powerful people they had met were good. But Daliang was so big, were all the powerful people bad people?

Xu Xingyi thought of Shen Qingxu greeting Mu Yunzhou with a smile in the morning, and his face wrinkled into a bun. Mu Yunzhou, this pretty boy, is now even more annoying.

And he wasn't looking forward to meeting the Queen Sister, whom he had never met!

Shen Qingxu saw Xu Xingyi like this and didn't know where Xu Xingyi got so angry from.

Xu Xingyi was also very depressed, and his tone began to get bad: "If he is not a bad guy, then who do you think is the bad guy? If your queen sister hadn't wanted to take you back to this broken capital, would you have been in such great danger!"

Shen Qingxu was shocked by his words and looked at him in disbelief: "Xu Xingyi...how could you say such a thing...my sister is also your senior sister, how could she have predicted the assassin she met on the way back, and the person she sent to pick us up was the highly skilled General Wen."

"I don't care who you are, I just want to protect you... You don't know how sad I was when you fell off the cliff."

"I know you care about me, but don't you think what you said was too much?"

"How did I go too far?"

"You keep saying you're protecting me? But you restrict me everywhere. She's my biological sister! Not only are you not happy when I talk to Mu Yunzhou, but you even stop me from seeing my biological sister. Don't you want me to see her?"

"That's right, if I didn't go to see your sister there wouldn't be so many dangerous things!" Xu Xingyi said with his neck stiff.

"you……"

"Isn't it good to be in Liangcheng? Why did you insist on listening to others and coming to Beijing? Why do you care about so many strangers?"

"those people……"

"Who knows whether the people outside are good or bad? I don't care. You have to stay with me!"

"Xu Xingyi, I'm really disappointed in you today. I don't want to talk to you now." She clenched her fists and her eyes turned red.

When Xu Xingyi saw Shen Qingxu's eyes turned red, he shut up, but still looked at Shen Qingxu.

Shen Qingxu turned around and said to General Wen before getting on the carriage: "General Wen, please let him sit in another carriage. I want to sit alone."

"Okay, Miss Shen, I'll arrange it right away." Hearing this, Wen Qiliang looked down on the pretentious Xu Xingyi in his heart. A grown man made a little girl cry. Bah! What a bad luck!

Xu Xingyi watched Shen Qingxu get on the carriage without looking back, and his hands clenched unconsciously. Could it be that he really had gone too far?

Over the years, Shen Qingxu has always stayed by his side, following him closely, which has made Shen Qingxu habitually dependent on him.

But seeing how she looked just now, it seemed that she didn't necessarily have to rely on him for everything, and she also had a sister who was the queen...

She no longer belonged to him alone.

No, Shen Qingxu is his, and no one can take Shen Qingxu away from him, not even her own sister.

Xu Xingyi left with a sour face. Instead of taking the carriage, he found a relatively gentle horse and mounted it gracefully and swiftly.

On the way back, it started to drizzle.

Shen Qingxu looked at the raindrops outside the window. She felt that her mood was the same as the rain. Afraid that Xu Xingyi would get wet, she asked the coachman to find a straw raincoat for Xu Xingyi. When Xu Xingyi saw the coachman handing him the straw raincoat with an impatient look on his face, he looked at the coachman coldly, snorted, pulled the reins, rode away without looking back.

Shen Qingxu was so angry when she saw this that she accidentally pulled off the curtains on the carriage.

"Let the rain kill this bastard!"

……

Shen Qingxu looked out the window. She had clearly gone to the palace to see her sister and had clearly survived a disaster. These should have been things to be happy about, but because of Xu Xingyi's actions just now, she felt very uncomfortable.

She didn't know when it started, but Xu Xingyi's so-called protection made her feel suffocated.

Xu Xingyi wanted her to stay by his side all the time and do everything related to him. Xu Xingyi would never leave her side, restricting this and that, and always saying that it was all for his own good. She was not allowed to do anything she wanted to do, and Xu Xingyi would interfere in everything.

She really didn't like this feeling, it felt like she was being tied up, and she became more and more resistant to Xu Xingyi's overbearing style of doing things.

She didn't know what was wrong with Xu Xingyi, but she really didn't like this feeling. This suffocating feeling made her feel like she was suffocating.

She is a free person, a thoughtful person. She should have things she wants to do and her own friends, instead of having Xu Xingyi in her eyes, heart, mind, and even the whole world.

She and Xu Xingyi should be like family together, not this feeling of being in prison, let alone the feeling that Xu Xingyi completely controls her every word and action.

She sighed and pinched her face, her mind in a mess. The rain seemed to reflect her mood, getting heavier and heavier as she sighed.

What happened to her? Why did she have such a strong rebellious heart?

Looking at the drizzling rain outside the window, I don’t want to think about it anymore! I have a headache!

Shen Qingxu's thoughts were wandering...

The elder sister that she is about to meet is the Empress who is second only to the emperor and above all others. I wonder if she will be very serious. In the storybook, the heroine is a sober, cold and ruthless woman who only has the court and the people in her eyes. Will she treat her only sister differently?

However, Shen Qingxu has been in this world alone for twelve years. Shen Qiuchi is still her blood relative after all, so he will treat her differently after all.

Shen Qingxu's mind was in a mess, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She was the heroine's sister and would not go against the heroine. This was enough.

As he was about to meet his legendary sister who was related by blood, his mood should be better. In this case, Shen Qingxu couldn't help but look forward to the meeting. The rain also stopped at an opportune moment.
