Chapter 1976 The Regent Princess is about to faint again

Shi Li held the thin note in her hand, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

The warm light outside the window shines through the lush branches, illuminating the fingertips and reflecting the bright light of the jade bracelet on the wrist.

For a moment, Shi Li was reluctant to burn the note.

But there was only a second or two of hesitation.

Gu Jinning is now the Regent King Xie Lin, holding a high position of power, but there are countless people waiting to catch him. This small note may seem insignificant, but if someone finds out and makes a fuss about it, it would not be worth it.

After thinking about the priorities, Shi Li sighed silently, placed the note on the candle, and watched it turn into ashes.

The note is a symbol of the heart, but the heart is more than just this note.

Shi Li collected a little afterglow, and the light grey powder drifted away with the wind, leaving no trace at all.

Then she continued to fix her hair and makeup, stood up and went out to look for Shi Xuan.

She barely slept last night, so Shi Xuan naturally couldn't sleep any more. He looked tired and worried. When he saw her, he forced himself to stay awake, "Li'er."

Shi Li walked over and hugged her, then turned his head and told the maid to go outside and close the door casually.

When they were alone, Shi Li approached Shi Xuan and whispered, "Su Zhao is back, sister, don't worry anymore. No one dares to force us anymore."

She said "we", not "you".

Shi Xuan suffered this misfortune today only because she was the elder sister. Shi Li knew very well that if Shi Xuan had not been there, today's incident would have fallen on her head. So this matter was a matter of two people from the beginning, not just Shi Xuan.

"How could this be?" Although Shi Xuan also placed her hopes on Shi Yu who was thousands of miles away, she knew that things could not be easily resolved. However, there was a sudden turn of events that she had never expected.

Shi Li was a little embarrassed, lowered her eyebrows and pulled the corners of her mouth, "Sister, I have been hiding something from you."

She knew that if she didn't explain it well today, Shi Xuan would definitely be worried. But Gu Jinning's secret couldn't be easily revealed.

So before coming here, she had already made up a story about how she had met the Regent by chance in a shop and fell in love with him at first sight.

"I asked him for help yesterday, but I didn't know whether he was willing to help, so I didn't tell you." Shi Li held Shi Xuan's hand and spoke sincerely.

Shi Xuan's eyes turned red again. He held Shi Li's hand and asked with concern, "Didn't he embarrass you?"

She thought that the Regent would definitely take the opportunity to make excessive demands on Shi Li, or even... take advantage of her.

Shi Li: ...

Inadvertently, she seemed to have slandered Gu Jinning's innocence...

"No, no, he is a gentleman!" Shi Li hurriedly clarified, but looking at Shi Xuan's expression, it seemed that she didn't quite believe it.

After all, the other party is the regent, and he dare not think that he will take Shi Li seriously. Shi Xuan is not self-deprecating, but no one thinks that their current status and position are worthy of any equal interaction with the regent.

"What should I do in the future?" Shi Xuan lowered her head, and her brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again. She was worried that Gu Jinning would use this incident to control Shi Li in the future.

It seems like no matter how I explain it, he won’t listen?

Shi Li also fell silent.

While thinking about how to express it so that Shi Xuan would trust Gu Jinning, I heard a hurried knock on the door.

The maid beside her shouted anxiously: "Two ladies, the uncle has sent someone over, please come over!"

At this time, uncle wants them to come over?

Shi Li glanced at Shi Xuan, who looked confused.

However, now that Su Zhao has returned, Zhao Huai no longer has any leverage over the Su family. He can't force Shi Xuan to marry into the Zhao family, right?

"Let's go over and see what's going on." Shi Xuan stood up and walked in front.

After what happened last night, she no longer had any thoughts or affection for the Su family. Shi Li lagged behind her and followed the people sent by her uncle to the front.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw my uncle and aunt, both with big smiles on their faces, talking to a man dressed as a steward.

It’s just that my uncle’s expression was only flattering, while my aunt’s expression was a little awkward and weird.

"Li'er, Xuan'er, come here quickly!"

When he saw the two of them appear, the uncle greeted them with unprecedented enthusiasm, as if he wished they were his own daughters.

But the person dressed as a steward next to him was different. He was holding a cup of tea with an expressionless face, but when he heard the noise, he immediately put down the cup, stood up, and walked in front of Shi Li in one step.

"Hello, Miss Shi! Next month is your coming-of-age ceremony. This is the gift that your Excellency has asked me to bring to you."

The steward was holding an exquisite brocade box in his hand. It was long and thin and looked like it might contain hairpins or rings.

Seeing Shi Li was confused, he took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am the steward of Lord Xie's mansion."

It’s Gu Jinning again!

This time, he directly sent someone to support him!
