CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 526: THIS SLAP FITS YOUR FACE PERFECTLY

Her actions, the teacher saw everything.

It’s really helpless to encounter this student.

"Shen Hua, be serious."

The teacher added.

"You should learn more from Zhou Zhizhi."

Zhou Zhizhi was not at all intimidated, she stood up and saluted the teacher: "Teacher, you flatter me."

Shen Hua: ???

Zheng Qianyu reacted even more excessively: "How could that little wretch Zhou Zhizhi even be compared to you?"

Zhou Zhizhi smiled: "Miss Shen is just a bit playful, I believe in teaching according to one’s abilities. Once she gets into the right mindset, I’m afraid we students are no match for her."

Zheng Qianyu, with a brain ranking last, leaned in: "Did you understand that! Teach according to what? Is this praising you or scolding you?"

Shen Hua: ...No.

But how could she not understand! Boosting others’ morale while undermining her own dignity?

The little girl nodded coldly yet profoundly.

Apparently... Zhou Zhizhi truly deserves to die.

She’s good at currying favor and pretending to understand, surely these were kind words, but whether the speaker is sincere, who knows?

She clearly remembered, last time Zhou Zhizhi came over with her test paper. Glancing over as if she didn’t care much.

"How could all of you get this wrong? It’s clearly not hard."

"The teacher has mentioned it many times."

Zheng Qianyu was still visibly agitated, making a vomiting gesture: "She ranks first, and I’m always right behind, but you don’t see me being arrogant."

Showing off what!

Shen Hua agreed: "You’re still modest."

"Exactly!"

"Never arrogant."

"That’s right!"

Shen Hua’s delicate little face frowned, really not understanding how Zhou Zhizhi could be full of faults: "She’s not as pretentious and affected as her."

Zheng Qianyu paused.

Pretentious and affected, she really can’t compare to you.

When it was finally time to leave the school, Shen Hua was the first to stand up, walking out sickly. She didn’t walk fast, stopping every few steps to catch her breath, soon someone caught up to her.

Zheng Qianyu mysteriously, looking not very smart: "I reflected for a day, to turn over a new leaf we need to strive hard. You can’t go on like this either, let’s endure together."

"The two of us, given time, will surely achieve scholarly success. One of us will definitely be able to grind her into the ground."

Shen Yangyang, glancing at her sideways.

She wanted to say something, but her throat was terribly dry, followed by unstoppable coughs, once she started, she couldn’t stop.

Yicui hurriedly handed over a bamboo tube filled with water, Shen Hua drank a few sips but still felt terrible. Her little face also turned a lot paler.

Zheng Qianyu stepped back in fright.

Never daring to bring up those words again.

Indeed, Shen Hua came here to pass the time, unlike her.

Last time, she went back with the last place and was scolded again and again by her father.

But what about Shen Hua.

She was cajoled by her brother to have sweet soup.

Shen Zhi even praised her for her progress.

Progress my foot!

Praising with eyes closed, right!

Nevertheless, Shen Hua had the nerve to stretch out her hand: "Writing really hurts."

Comparing people kills.

————

Cui Yun had been waiting in the guest hall for a long time. By the time he drank his third cup of tea, he finally heard some noise outside.

"Madam has finally arrived. The young master is inside."

Ms. Shen Chun responded.

"These past few days that I was absent, the entire embroidery workshop depended on you."

"Madam, what are you talking about."

Manager Sun: "Is the young lady completely well now?"

Speaking of Shen Hua, Ms. Shen Chun’s tone lowered several notes.

"I know her health better than anyone. It has gotten worse over these years."

Knowing who she was talking about, Cui Yun sat up slightly straighter. But nobody continued this topic outside. Soon someone lifted the bead curtain and entered.

"Is the guest here to buy wedding garments?"

Ms. Shen Chun asked with a light laugh, her gaze falling on Cui Yun, unable to hide her amazement.

The young man sat upright, not bothering to stand up. Despite looking travel-worn, his face was as handsome as jade, his inherent nobility made people dare not offend him.

He moved his lips, about to speak.

Ji Qing, who was behind him, stepped forward: "Madam, our master has come this time to buy wedding garments for a cousin at home, though the wedding is somewhat rushed. Getting married is a happy occasion, and they say that Su Embroidery from the Fengzhou embroidery workshop is famous worldwide, so we especially rushed here from Shengjing to Fengzhou, and hope the workshop can expedite the work."

As he spoke, he took out a silver note.

"This is a token of sincerity, please accept it, Madam."

What followed was her negotiation with Ji Qing. They discussed the schedule for picking up the wedding garments.

Cui Yun merely bowed his head and drank tea, waiting for the negotiations to conclude before he left a remark.

"Thank you for your troubles."

Only then did he stand up to leave.

As soon as they left the embroidery workshop, Qiong Kong, who had been holding back a belly full of words, couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Second Young Master, why did you come out so soon?"

At the very least, you should get to know Mrs. Shen better!

As he spoke, he couldn’t resist giving Ji Qing a stern look.

It’s all his fault for talking too much!!!

"Second Young Master, I’ve already sent someone to inquire, there’s a manor for sale west of Fengzhou City, would you like to buy it?"

We can’t always stay in hotels!

Moreover, we might come to Fengzhou often.

Qiong Kong: "If you are interested..."

Cui Yun glanced over indifferently: "You talk too much."

Qiong Kong: ...

Cui Yun instructed Ji Qing: "Go check on Miss Shen."

Qiong Kong’s face lit up.

"I’ll go, I’ll go."

Ji Qing was puzzled: You’re buying wedding garments, why investigate their daughter?

But Cui Yun had not walked far before saying, "No need."

He hadn’t thought about meeting her.

These few days on the road had calmed him, and his curiosity had faded.

Even if he had the heart, he was too tired now.

What he and Miss Shen would be in the future, that’s for the future; he would find Doctor Ni. He’ll do what needs to be done. As for anything else, there’s really no need to think about it.

He was still young and had not thought about getting married, and she... must be even younger.

Even, he found it somewhat absurd.

Anyone would find it difficult to accept that one day, they would be reminded and informed, that she is your future bride.

He wasn’t moved, nor did he think the suddenly mentioned Miss Shen would move his heart.

Perhaps, this time, everything might change, who knows.

He went to the inn and fell asleep in his clothes. When he awoke, it was dusk.

The young man sat by the window.

Qiong Kong brought some food: "Second Young Master, after resting for a night, it might be good to go find Doctor Ni tomorrow to re-energize."

Cui Yun looked at him coldly.

"Do you need to teach me how to handle my affairs?"

Just then, a commotion came from downstairs.

"We’re classmates, aren’t you being a bit unkind?" the little girl in a yellow outfit was indignant.

"You just realized?"

Shen Hua touched the bell hanging on her carriage: "My carriage indeed isn’t for just anyone to sit in, at least not you."

"You!"

Zhou Zhizhi stopped her.

"Yangyang, I’m sorry to trouble you, but my grandmother broke her leg, and no one from my family could come to pick me up, so I rode in Ah Qiao’s carriage, but it broke down on the way. Please, for the sake of old times, could you give us a ride?"

Cui Yun looked down.

He caught sight of the proud little girl amidst the crowd right away, and appreciated the light.

"See that?"

Zhou Zhizhi was taken aback: "Wha... what?"

Shen Hua, regal and aloof: "Take a closer look at how well this slap fits your face."
