Chapter 968: Not a Woman

“This subordinate doesn’t have anything she likes,” replied Ning Shu.

Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu, finally recalling that the woman in front of him wasn’t a normal person.
Strictly speaking, she didn’t even count as a woman.
He waved dismissively.
“Get out.”

Ning Shu: …

After calling a person inside, after a few words, he was having the person scram again.

She had to come upon being summoned and leave upon being dismissed without any grudge or resentment.

Ning Shu turned and was just about to leave when Xuan Hongyu suddenly said, “Oh right, one more thing.”

Ning Shu asked, “Master, is there something else this subordinate should do?”

Please don’t have her go protect Shangguan Qingrou.

“Continue keeping an eye on the director’s residence,” said Xuan Hongyu mildly.

F*ck.
Ning Shu almost puked blood.
Why the frick did she still have to go back? She didn’t want to go back.

Ning Shu wasn’t feeling very well, but she maintained a serious expression.
“This subordinate feels that the director’s residence is no longer enterable.
The fifth prince will definitely send people to guard the residence.”

“Just pay attention to the surroundings.
If anything happens between the fifth prince and Shangguan Qingrou, report to this prince.” Xuan Hongyu didn’t insist that Ning Shu go die.

Ning Shu accepted this mission with a sincere expression of honor.

However, this task was comparably simpler.
She only had to record each of Shangguan Qingrou’s outings and didn’t need to continue squatting on the tree outside Shangguan Qingrou’s room to feed the mosquitoes.

Shangguan Qingrou had probably been too frightened by Xuan Hongyu because she didn’t leave the residence for a very long time.
However, Xuan Xiaotian often visited the director’s residence.
Whenever he left, it was always the director that personally saw him off.

Ning Shu grabbed a manservant that had left the director’s residence to carry out an errand and gave him some silver.
“Is there some happy occasion in the director’s residence?”

The manservant weighed the silver in his hand, then said with a proud smile, “His Highness the fifth prince plans to propose to our miss.
He’ll be asking His Majesty to bestow the marriage in a few days.”

Ning Shu immediately headed back to tell Xuan Hongyu about this.
When Xuan Hongyu heard, he immediately overturned his gold-laced redwood study desk.
He looked dumbfounded.

Ning Shu suddenly didn’t even have words to say about Xuan Hongyu.
Did Xuan Hongyu actually think that after exchanging blood, they would become one? That after he went through some holy blood-feeding ceremony, the person would become his?

As Ning Shu took in Xuan Hongyu’s lost expression, she asked, “Master, are you alright?” If you’re fine, just eat some Liuliumei.

Xuan Hongyu’s facial color was very poor and his eyes were bloodshot.
He pulled down the painting of Shangguan Qingrou that was hung on the wall, then ripped it apart.
However, he felt that it still wasn’t enough, so he took out the previous paintings and ripped them all to shreds as well.

Ning Shu just watched silently.
What use was there in ripping paper?

After venting his anger, Xuan Hongyu’s expression was now ice cold.
He seemed to have calmed down, but his facial muscles would occasionally contort, showing that his emotions were still raging inside.

“Head back and continue keeping an eye on the director’s residence,” said Xuan Hongyu without even looking at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu replied understood, then turned and left.
She had no plans to comfort Xuan Hongyu.

#comment: If you’re alright in Chinese uses the words ‘do you have anything [to do]’ and I’m fine uses the words ‘[I have] nothing [to do]’.
Liuliumei is a brand of dried fruit products and one of their famous commercials revolved around the dialogue “Do you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, just eat some Liuliumei.”
