Chapter 883 Excuse me, you are in the way.
Liangjing, Imperial Academy.
Dugu Xuejiao didn't expect Shen Yunmo to be so efficient in handling affairs, she promised her to send Cui Zong back in the morning, and sent him back to the Imperial Academy in the afternoon.
Thinking to himself, he must be waiting for his answer, so someone sent him a secret letter.
As for how Shen Yunmo felt when she saw the content of the letter, it's not her business, as long as she doesn't get mad.
Brat, she almost strangled herself to death, but she is very vengeful.
Two days later, thinking about Cui Cong's injury, and wondering if he could be saved, he decided to go and see for himself.
If Cui Cong really died, Shen Yunmo must be to blame. Although he was fearless, it would be good to have less trouble.
As an elder sister, I really broke my heart for a brat brother.
When Dugu Xuejiao arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Academy, she saw a familiar figure before she found Cui Zong.
The skinny boy was wearing a blue robe and was standing at the door, his little face was a little red from the wind.
It was Shen Huaixi who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Dugu Xuejiao immediately walked over quickly and patted him on the shoulder.
Shen Huaixi was suddenly patted, his small body trembled, and he let out a long sigh of relief after seeing her appearance clearly.
Seeing him like this, why does he feel guilty.
"Cousin, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Shen Huaixi immediately grabbed her arm, then moved aside, and then looked up at her.
The young man stood in the sun, with thick eyebrows and deep eyes, red lips and white teeth, a little handsome and bright, fresh and pure.
"Cousin Jiaojiao, why did you come to the Imperial Academy?"
Dugu Xuejiao didn't hide her purpose and told him directly.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Huaixi heard Cui Cong's name, her reaction was greater than hers.
"Ah, cousin Jiaojiao, you are here to see Brother Cui, what a coincidence, he lives in the same yard as me."
So?Why are you standing at the gate of the yard in broad daylight?
Sensing her doubts, Shen Huaixi looked around and saw Meteor and Li Gen standing not far away letting the wind pass, so he was relieved.
"It's not that I want to come out to bask in the sun, there's no way, my cousin is here."
cousin?Jun Zitong?
Dugu Xuejiao was not very surprised, after all, she already knew Jun Zitong's feelings for Cui Cong, if she hadn't come to ask her for help, Cui Cong might still be in the dungeon.
Now that she came out and was seriously injured, Jun Zitong must come over to take a look, and she also bought so many expensive gold sore medicines.
"It seems that you know cousin and Xueshi Cui..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Huaixi seemed to be frightened, her eyes widened, and she hurried forward to cover her mouth.
"Cousin Jiaojiao, please keep your voice down. Only I know about this matter. I promised my cousin that no one will tell."
No wonder he looked guilty, it turned out that he was standing guard at the door.
Concubine Shen strongly opposed Jun Zitong and Cui Cong being together, and Jun Zitong had to sneak around to see Cui Cong.
It is understandable.
It's just that I didn't expect my cousin to be so cute. He blushed when he told a lie, and volunteered to help his cousin watch out.
That's right, after all, Shen Huaixi was Jun Zitong's real cousin, so it was reasonable to help her cover up.
"Don't be afraid, my cousin won't trouble you, because I already knew it, and my cousin told me.
Since you share the same yard with Xueshi Cui, let me ask you, what does he mean to his cousin?Does he like his cousin?Could it be that my cousin is in unrequited love? "
Hearing what she said, Shen Huaixi was completely relieved. A bunny like him hides a secret in his heart, which is simply torture.
Especially every time I see my aunt, I don't dare to look at her, for fear that she will see through my lies.
"Cousin Jiaojiao, let me tell you, don't tell others. To be honest, I don't like my cousin and Brother Cui at all."
Seeing his serious expression, Dugu Xuejiao became more and more suspicious.
"How to say?"
Shen Huaixi's face was close at hand, his eyes were pure and clear, but his thick eyebrows were twisted together.
"I think brother Cui doesn't like my cousin at all."
As soon as these words came out, the dark light in Dugu Xuejiao's eyes flashed away, and the corner of her mouth curled into a playful smile.
"tell me the story."
Shen Huaixi approached her, lowering his voice even more.
"Because apart from my cousin, the second lady of Xu Shangshu's family also often comes to see Brother Cui. According to my observation, Brother Cui seems to like Second Miss Xu more."
What?It turned out to be a love triangle!
I thought Jun Zitong was just an unrequited love, but I didn't expect there to be a third party, this is clearly a love triangle.
Dugu Xuejiao seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, so she leaned over and whispered to him.
"But it's not right. If Xueshi Cui really likes Miss Xu Er, why didn't he simply reject his cousin? Is it really okay for him to be in two boats like this? Isn't this a scumbag?"
Now she is really curious about what Cui Cong looks like, one or two are all fascinated by him.
Being able to be hand-picked as Tanhualang, I think he looks really good.
Shen Huaixi's eyes were very round, and the golden light spots were reflected in small pieces.
"I don't know about this. Brother Cui never tells me about the two of us. Sometimes I feel sorry for my cousin. I really feed the dog with all my heart. I can't help but ask him.
But Big Brother Cui never answered my questions, he just shook his head and sighed, saying that he couldn’t help himself. From what he said, he seemed to like his cousin too, but because of his aunt’s objection, he...
Sigh, I was so confused, since I like my cousin, why am I dating Miss Xu Er?Isn't this adding salt to my cousin's wounds?
However, my cousin came a lot in the past few years, but I haven't come here much in the past year, especially in the past six months. I haven't seen her, but that Miss Xu Er came here every now and then. "
Dugu Xuejiao looked at his distressed appearance, and it seemed that he was someone who had never experienced emotional trauma, so how could she understand the twists and turns.
The relationship between Shen Huaixi and Zhan Siqi is very stable, they are both very soft-tempered, and they are not flamboyant.
The two cousins stood under the big tree at the gate of the backyard of the Imperial Academy, talking very warmly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the yard was a bit cold.
Jun Zitong received Dugu Xuejiao's secret letter, hesitated for two days, and decided to come to the Imperial Academy.
But who knows, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in a green dress coming out of Cui Zong's house holding a copper basin.
The joy that was originally full of joy suddenly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, cooling from head to toe.
It wasn't the first time Jun Zitong saw Xu Lianxin here, and she still felt disgusted as she looked like a good wife and mother.
Xu Lianxin appeared here a year ago, and I don't know how she met Cui Cong, but she just appeared like that.
When we met for the first time, she was wearing a white dress, standing beside Cui Cong, and greeted herself with a smile.
It looked as if she and Cui Zong were husband and wife, and he was just a casual visitor, so he shamelessly invited her to come in and sit down.
After entering the house, Xu Lianxin didn't forget to continue to tease her, serving tea and water, and asking her how she was, as if she regarded herself as Cui Zong's wife.
A monstrous flame rose in Jun Zitong's heart, but he was concerned about the identity of the eldest princess, and did not know her as well, and only regarded her as air.
But the most difficult thing for her to accept was that Cui Cong didn't explain a word, only briefly introduced Xu Lianxin's name, and nothing else happened.
Looking at his stern face, Jun Zitong's heart fell into the ice and snow.
She always thought that Cui Cong was in love with her just like herself, but because of the huge gap in their identities and the threat of Concubine Shen, she didn't confess.
She has been silently treating him well and working hard silently. In order to help him get promoted, she has used all her connections, even bowing her head to intercede with others.
Concubine Shen looked down on Cui Cong, she knew it, but she thought, as long as Cui Cong could climb to a high place, one day, Concubine Shen would accept her.
Over the years, she was getting older and older, but she was never worried, instead she was faintly happy.
After a few years, Cui Cong was promoted, and since he was old, no one wanted to marry, and his mother and concubine would definitely let go.
But when she saw Xu Lianxin, everything turned into bubbles in an instant.
Only then did Jun Zitong realize that everything was just wishful thinking.
The only one who wants to move forward is himself.
Cui Cong didn't want to wait for her at all, even if he exhausted his connections to help him get promoted, he was promoted from a small seventh-rank Imperial Academy editor to a fifth-rank Imperial Academy attendant lecturer in just three years.
But he never seems to see his own contribution, for him, everything is the result of his own efforts.
When Jun Zitong realized this, his hot heart was completely chilled.
From the first time she met Xu Lianxin, she seldom came to the Imperial Academy, unless Cui Zong asked her for help with something and received his secret letter for help.
I thought he had reflected for a while and finally realized his worth, but who knows, after the matter was resolved, not long after, she saw Xu Lianxin in the yard again.
Oh, it's ridiculous, Cui Cong is simply playing himself for a fool.
After that time, Jun Zitong really gave up.
She is an incomparably noble eldest princess, she has her own dignity.
Even if it is a man who has been in love for three or four years, it is impossible for him to trample on his dignity like this.
It has been half a year, and she has never been to the Imperial Academy again.
I heard that Cui Cong was very close to Xu Lianxin's Xu Shangshu, so he stopped looking for her because he hugged a new thigh.
Until a few days ago, she received another secret letter, saying that Cui Zong fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei and was about to die.
Jun Zitong originally planned to ignore it, but after all, he was the only man he ever liked after the first love affair.
Even if he is so ruthless, it is impossible to watch him die and ignore him.
It's not that she is too biological, but she is afraid that his death will become a shadow of her life and she will lose the ability to love.
Jun Zitong struggled for three days before making a decision, planning to help him one last time, as an end to his secret love.
As for the wound medicines bought at Tongrentang, they have really formed a habit, and they are considered cheap.
I planned to come here today to make a settlement, but who knows, I saw Xu Lianxin again, it was disgusting.
Jun Zitong stood at the door for a long time, feeling the urge to turn around and leave.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't be so cowardly, at least she couldn't be so weak in front of Xu Lianxin.
Even if it was over, she was the one who brought it up, and she had to do so in front of Xu Lianxin.
Think of it as doing good deeds by yourself, and fulfilling this couple of dogs and men.
Thinking this way, Jun Zitong walked in, and at the same time turned her head to look at Chunhua.
"Take everything you brought to your cousin's house."
Chunhua and Qiuyu were stunned for a while, and immediately showed joy, and walked quickly to Shen Huaixi's room.
The princess finally got the hang of it.
Jun Zitong walked to the door, holding the imperial concubine in his arms, carelessly stroking the cat.
"Is Xueshi Cui in there?"
Xu Lianxin was still standing shyly holding the copper basin, as if she just realized it.
"Ah, elder brother Cong is inside, please come in quickly, the eldest princess."
Brother Cong?Ugh, it's fucking disgusting.
Not seeing each other for half a year, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds.
Jun Zitong tried her best to hold her face tight, for fear of opening her mouth to spit out her face, this flourishing white lotus.
Don't think that because she pretends to be pure on the surface, no one will know the dark thoughts in her heart.
If it's really an ordinary daughter of a family who knows shame and hasn't married yet, who would go into a man's house twice every day.
Even if she liked Cui Zong at the beginning, she would come here once a month at most and find all kinds of high-sounding reasons.
For example, to see my cousin, by the way, take a look.
This Xu Lianxin is good, he doesn't care about the woman's reputation at all, in order to climb into Cui Cong's bed, he is very diligent.
Jun Zitong held back his nausea and glanced at her in disgust.
"Excuse me, you are in the way."
Xu Lianxin was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped aside, her hands holding the copper basin turned pale.
Jun Zitong snorted coldly, walked in, a smell of medicine entered her nose, and frowned.
Xu Lianxin carefully observed her expression, seeing her like this, quickly trotted towards Cui Cong who was on the bed.
"Brother Cong, look, the eldest princess is here to see you."
Afraid that Jun Zitong would get too close, the copper basin in his hand would not be put down in time, so he took the place in front of the bed.
