As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 368 Nightmare
Chen Shulan felt that his state of ignoring people this time was different from before.

In the past, he would clearly say that he didn't want to talk to her, and his refusal would be clear, but not this time.

He erected a wall around himself, not letting anyone... or let her get close, but he still maintained politeness and a very small amount of demeanor, so that she could not act arrogantly.

Pushing him and making trouble like that at noon.

Chen Shulan frowned and stared at the broad beans and broad bean skins on the table. She couldn't figure out what he meant until she returned to the post house.

When she got off the boat and entered the inn, she finally couldn't help but grab his sleeve and asked with her lips: "What's wrong?"
Xie Changyuan smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing, go to bed early."

After that, he asked the guards of the post house to send her and Qing Moss back to the courtyard, then turned and left.

Chen Shulan's eyes were blank, mixed with a little sadness.

"Miss, miss..." Qing Moss held her arm and called her worriedly in a low voice, "Let's go back."

Chen Shulan nodded, and returned to his courtyard with Qing Moss in despair.

Aunt Liu prepared dinner and brought it to her. She took a few bites and then shook her head. This made Aunt Liu worried. She pulled Qing Moss out and asked, "What's going on? Aren't you very happy when you went out?"

"It's only been one afternoon, how come it's like this?"

Qing Moss shook his head: "I don't know either. We were fine when we were at the shoal. The young lady and the fifth young master Xie were talking. Then for some reason, the fifth young master Xie left on his own, and then the young lady followed, and that was it."

Aunt Liu’s brows were knotted.

Could it be that Chen Shulan did something to make Fifth Young Master Xie angry?

But now that Chen Shulan is like this, what can she do to make people angry?

Moreover, Xie Changyuan just jumped into the water yesterday and bought so many sweets to make the lady happy. In the blink of an eye, so much has changed?
Chen Shulan sat by the window, watching the sky outside gradually darken, just like it had for more than a month.

Xie Changyuan didn't come to her, and she didn't go to him either.

She couldn't figure out why, what happened.

Nanny Liu and Qing Moss didn't understand either, so they could only advise her to rest early. They kept silent about Xie Changyuan's situation.

Chen Shulan knew that they were concerned about her, so she forced a smile and went back to bed obediently.

However, it was destined to be difficult to sleep that night.

Chen Shulan tossed and turned for most of the night, finally feeling a little sleepy, but she dreamed that she walked into the river and stepped in the mud.

There were lanterns twinkling all around, and boys and girls were smiling happily.

And she couldn't feel any joy, only coldness and despair invaded her whole body.

She walked deeper into the river step by step, but a man said with a soft smile: "Are you seeking death? Excuse me, please continue."

She couldn't see his face clearly, but she remembered his voice.

The understatement and the cool and teasing tone were clearly Xie Changyuan's.

She wanted to lift her feet to take a look, but found that her feet were stuck in the mud and couldn't lift them up. She wanted to call him but couldn't make a sound.

Her body sank deeper and deeper, and the river water overflowed her shoulders, covering her mouth, nose, and eyes.

Water entered the mouth and throat along the nose and mouth, making it difficult to breathe, and the feeling of suffocation of death gradually approached.

She struggled vigorously.

Just when she was desperate, a hand held her.

She was pulled out of the water by the man, and she met the man's calm eyes, which seemed affectionate but were actually cold.

"Miss, miss? Are you having a nightmare?"

Hearing the sound of moss in his ears, Chen Shulan suddenly opened his eyes, the fear in his eyes still not dissipated.

She looked at the tent ceiling for a long time, gradually waking up amidst the rising and falling sounds of "Miss" from the moss.

It's still dark outside.There is a lamp like a bean next to the bed, and the candlelight dances constantly.

Chen Shulan slowly exhaled a breath and gently patted the back of Qing Moss's hand to comfort her.

Qing Moss was still worried: "Miss, you rarely have nightmares. It scared me. I will stay by the bed tonight to watch you rest. You can go to sleep."

Chen Shulan nodded, then moved her body into the bed and patted the empty space.

Qingmao shook her head quickly: "This unruly, slave and lowly person, how can-"

Chen Shulan directly pulled her up.

The moss couldn't hold her back, so she had to take off her shoes and sleep outside very restrainedly, "Miss, go to bed quickly, it's still early."

Chen Shulan nodded again, but this time she still couldn't fall asleep. Although she closed her eyes, she kept thinking about the depressing dream and the people in the dream.

An idea came to her mind, she really wanted to continue her dream after she fell asleep and see what happened after the person pulled her out.

I just couldn’t sleep despite trying for a long time.

After falling asleep, I dreamed of treading water in the shallows during the day.

In the dream, she was not so reserved that she did not dare to take off her shoes and socks. Instead, she held up the hem of her skirt and played with the children playing in the water. Her white and tender feet stepped in the stream, and small fish swam by her calves. .

The person who is tickling is so itchy that he wants to laugh.

Xie Changyuan was on the shore, lazily leaning against the tree trunk and standing with his chest crossed, watching.

She accidentally stepped on a stone in the water and scratched the sole of her foot. Xie Changyuan ran over worriedly, scolding her for being frizzy, but he quickly treated the wound with his hands.

Then I helped her put on her shoes and socks, and carried her back to the boat...

Chen Shulan slowly opened her eyes. This time it was already bright outside.

The moss has risen.

Chen Shulan hugged the quilt and sat up, looking sadly at the sky outside.

Everything in the dream was exactly the opposite of everything yesterday.

She sat in a daze for a while, and it wasn't until the door creaked that she looked up.

It was Aunt Liu and Qing Moss who brought water for washing and breakfast.

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes for a moment, then quietly got up, dressed, and washed herself. She was back to the same situation she had been in for more than a month, or in other words, she was quieter than she had been for more than a month.

……

Xie Changyuan didn't sleep well all night and was very upset.

He didn't look good when he got up in the morning, and his personal caretaker was very sensible and didn't say a word.

Xie Changyuan had no expression on his face and asked Yun Qi if he could send a message as usual. After receiving a negative answer, he took a deep breath, frowned and walked out the door.

Chang Sui asked in a low voice: "Master, where are we going?"

"Just turn around."

Xie Changyuan said nothing, turned over and got on the horse. He was really bored and wandering around at will.

It was still early and there were not many people on the street. Xie Changyuan rode around for a while. The sun came out and the light shone on his face, which made him more irritable for no reason.

It happened that there was an empty teahouse not far away, so Xie Changyuan casually dismounted and went over, chose a seat in the corner and sat down, dropped a piece of silver and asked the old man in the teahouse to bring some food and drinks.

"what?"

A carriage drove slowly and stopped beside the teahouse. A white tender girl poked out of the car and lifted the curtain, revealing half of the woman's delicate face: "Fifth Young Master, so early...what a coincidence?"
