Chapter 1977 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Shi Li couldn't suppress the smile on her face, but with so many people present, she still kept a reserved look and nodded to the steward.
"Please thank Mr. Xie for me."
The steward looked at Shi Li with sparkling eyes, as if he had already regarded her as the future mistress.
Hearing this, he was even a little flattered, but in the end, the people around Gu Jinning looked at his uncle and aunt next to him and said, "Miss Shi, please don't embarrass me. Our masters said that they are busy today and will come to visit you in person later."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards his uncle and aunt, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared, leaving only a businesslike look.
"Master Su, Madam Su, I will go back and report first."
My uncle and aunt quickly stood up to see me off.
When passing by Shi Li, my uncle opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
Shi Li watched the three people walk out and clenched the brocade box in his hand.
[The host’s mouth is harder to suppress than AK~]
[The host is quite reserved. If it were me, my mouth would be so happy that it would be crooked! ]
[I have been fascinated by the Regent King. No one is here to help me. Just let me lie here~~~]
Shi Xuan witnessed all this, and his slightly frowned brows slowly relaxed a little.
From the steward's attitude just now, at least we can get a glimpse of the whole picture. It can be seen that the Regent's attitude towards Shi Li is at least respectful.
"Li'er, look at what's in the brocade box." Shi Xuan tugged at Shi Li's sleeve, signaling her to come back to her senses.
Shi Li nodded and opened the brocade box, revealing a dazzling golden hairpin.
The hairpin head is made in the shape of a flower, with the petals and the center of the flower inlaid with precious gems. A small silver bell is ingeniously hung underneath. It is exquisite and clever, and everyone loves it.
"It's really beautiful. It will look stunning when she wears it at her coming-of-age ceremony!" Shi Xuan boasted, feeling genuinely happy and relieved for Shi Li.
Shi Li reached out to touch the gold hairpin, but her attention was drawn to the small silver bell underneath. She felt that it looked particularly familiar, as if she had worn it countless times before.
The two sisters didn't notice that there was a sound of footsteps approaching.
When I looked up, I saw Su Yuan walking over and had already seen the brocade box in Shi Li's hand.
Shi Xuan was worried that she was going to do something bad, so he quickly stepped forward and blocked Shi Li behind him.
"Hmph, you don't need to be so defensive against me. I'm not stupid." Su Yuan sneered, looking at Shi Li with undisguised envy, "You're so lucky to be favored by the Regent! But think about it, even if you're the Regent's concubine, you're still inferior!"
Listening to Su Yuan's words which were half a reminder and half a sarcasm, Shi Li smiled at her instead.
In the entire Su family, the person who disliked them from the beginning was Su Yuan, but Su Yuan was the only one who actually spoke up to remind them and defended them in public.
As for other people, they usually ignore them when it has nothing to do with their interests, but once something happens, like yesterday, they can push them out without any scruples.
"Li'er." In fact, what Su Yuan said was exactly what Shi Xuan was worried about, but she couldn't say it directly like Su Yuan did. The worry that she had just suppressed surfaced in her heart again.
Shi Li couldn't explain too much, so she just closed the brocade box and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I haven't reached the age of marriage yet."
It is indeed too early for a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage to talk about marriage.
But after uncle and aunt sent the people back, the way they looked at Shi Li was different.
The aunt was in a complicated mood. On one hand, she had a useless son, and on the other hand, she had a daughter who had not found a husband. Today, she thought that her family had been favored by the regent, but it turned out to be for Shi Li.
She was envious and jealous, but her uncle had repeatedly warned her not to act rashly and not to utter even a sarcastic word in front of Shi Li.
The uncle's attitude was even worse, and he was eager to repair the broken relationship with the two sisters. But based on what he had done before, it was impossible.
Shi Li was too impatient to talk to them, so he made up an excuse and went back to his yard.
What she was thinking about was the information that the steward had just revealed.
Gu Jinning has been very busy recently.
There was only one thing that could keep him busy right now.
As luck would have it, this was exactly what she had planned not long ago with the help of barrage.
In other words, she has the power to relieve Gu Jinning's urgent needs.
Thinking of this, Shi Li's eyes sparkled, and she could not sit still for a moment. She stood up, asked someone to prepare a carriage, and went straight to Xie's house.
This is a matter of great importance and cannot be delayed for a moment.
The gatekeeper at Xie's house didn't know her, but she introduced herself and the gatekeeper was startled.
"Miss Shi? You, you wait a moment!" The gatekeeper ran back in a hurry to ask the steward, and then the steward came out in a hurry.
He thought something had happened again, otherwise how could Shi Li catch up with him just moments after he came back.
When Shi Li saw him, she said directly, "Is Master Xie here? I have something important to tell you!"
"My Lord has entered the palace... and hasn't come back yet!"
