Chapter 166 Promise
Lin Shu should have been disgusted by the illicit relationship between women, and she didn't think she would like women. Yet, she seemed to be overly tolerant of Xu Jingyun.
This is very wrong! Her mind is in turmoil!
Thinking of this, she frowned and looked at Xu Jingyun, who had a smug look on her face. She deliberately distanced herself from him and threatened in a cold voice:
"Because I hurt you before, I won't hold it against you this time. But if there's a next time... I wasn't joking when I said that!"
Xu Jingyun's smile froze on her face instantly. Lin Shu had said before that if she ever harbored any ill intentions, she would kill her and gouge out her eyes...
I never took this seriously, and judging from the past few days, Lin Shu should have feelings for me!
"Ah Shu, I was wrong just now, please don't be angry..." Xu Jingyun thought that she had been too reckless just now and Lin Shu was angry, so she quickly stepped forward, looking rather helpless.
Seeing this, Lin Shu sighed helplessly. She wasn't angry; she just wanted to keep her distance before things got too bad.
So, watching the other person move forward, she deliberately stepped aside and asked:
What do you want to say to me?
Seeing Lin Shu's actions, Xu Jingyun also froze on the spot, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Everything had been fine before, so why suddenly...?
Hearing this, Xu Jingyun pursed her lips, a rare hint of shyness on her face, and tentatively uttered this shocking statement: "A-Shu, you...we...we should try it!...that way..."
Then, fearing Lin Shu might disagree, she blushed and pointed to the wound on her chest, adding:
"You said before that you would take responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened in shock, but her expression remained unchanged as she coldly refused, "Absolutely impossible!"
But if you look closely, you'll see that her pupils clearly contracted sharply for a moment.
"Why? You can marry Ji Heng, so why can't you have me?" Xu Jingyun's usually high-raised eyebrows drooped slightly, her tone filled with resentment and sorrow.
Looking at the dejected Xu Jingyun, Lin Shu felt a pang of pity and softened her tone, "That's different...!"
"What's the difference? I can do what he can do, and I don't care if you marry me or not, as long as... as long as you have a place for me in your heart!"
Xu Jingyun had essentially given up all hope. Although she couldn't regain her male form, she was willing to stay by Lin Shu's side as a 'woman' as long as she could be with Lin Shu.
Lin Shu pursed her lips, her eyes unreadable, her thoughts unreadable, but her words were piercing: "I will not like women..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingyun's face, which had regained some color due to shyness, turned deathly pale in an instant. Finally, she lowered her head and murmured softly, "What if... what if I were a man? Would that be possible?"
The voice was very low; if it weren't so quiet here and if Lin Shu hadn't been so close, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
Lin Shu fell silent, not speaking for a long time, but thinking to herself: If Xu Jingyun were really a man, perhaps... perhaps she wouldn't be opposed to it!
At least for now, she doesn't dislike her; it's just that their different statuses make it impossible! Besides, she already has a husband and daughter…
Xu Jingyun stared intently at Lin Shu's face. Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, she assumed that Lin Shu was unwilling and was afraid that she would get angry. She sighed inwardly that she had indeed been too hasty and had almost revealed her identity!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Ji Heng's words provoked him.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingyun shook her head and gave a bitter smile. She took two steps forward, trying her best to appear as unpredictable as ever, and even winked at Lin Shu, saying:
"Hey! Just kidding! How could I possibly be a man? Tsk! Ah Shu, you're not really taking this seriously, are you? If you are, then I'm not incapable of fulfilling your desires..."
"No." Lin Shu interrupted coldly, her face ashen, perhaps because she had heard that Xu Jingyun was teasing her. She then turned away, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
"If Miss Xu has no other important matters, Lin Shu will take her leave now!"
After saying that, Lin Shu left the alley and headed towards the carriage not far away. Xu Jingyun followed closely behind, jogging up to walk with her, and said, "Of course there's something I need to do!"
Seeing the doubt in Lin Shu's eyes, Xu Jingyun continued, "Speaking of which, I saved A-Shu's husband and was also stabbed by A-Shu. These are clearly two separate things, but A-Shu only gave me a sword tassel. Am I being taken advantage of? Ouch... my wound still hurts!"
As she spoke, she even covered her old wound on her chest and hummed softly in a pretentious manner.
"Then what do you want?" Lin Shu turned her face away from her and asked as she walked forward, her expression returning to its usual cold and distant state.
Xu Jingyun secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. Why is he so easily angered!
Lin Shu (speechless): "..." You kept flirting with me, messing with my mind, and then suddenly said, 'Hey! I don't actually like you, I was just teasing you, you didn't take it seriously, did you!' So, tell me, why are you angry?
Xu Jingyun moved to face Lin Shu, backing away while lightly tapping her head with her fan, looking like she had suffered a great loss: "How about this, A-Shu, grant me a promise, okay?"
Lin Shu frowned: "What promise?"
"Tsk! It's no fun saying it now, but don't worry, A-Shu, I will never make things difficult for you!" Xu Jingyun said with a teasing smile, not paying attention to what was behind her, and bumped into Lin Shu's carriage, almost falling over.
Lin Shu reacted quickly, and the two of them steadied themselves before getting into the car without saying a word, nor did they answer whether they agreed or not.
Xu Jingyun felt the places where Lin Shu touched her burning hot. Then she looked at the lowered carriage curtain and said with a smile, "Then it's settled. I'll come to A-Shu to fulfill my promise after I've taken care of everything!"
As the carriage set off, Xu Jingyun seemed to hear a soft "hmm," though she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
Lin Shu, who was in the carriage, closed her eyes after whispering that word, as if she had fallen asleep. However, her index finger, which was constantly tapping on the small table, showed that she was still awake, but it was unclear what she was thinking.
……
The palace of the Grand Princess.
Thanks to Feng Xin's persistent efforts, Bai Yu finally became pregnant again.
After the doctor who had taken Bai Yu's pulse left, Feng Xin looked at his still flat stomach and couldn't help but smile with delight. She then gently touched Bai Yu's belly and said with satisfaction:
"Indeed, Xiaoyu's belly is doing well. From today onwards, you will be the 'servant' of the First Princess's residence. Tomorrow, I will go to the Empress Dowager to speak with her and ask for some rewards for you, after all, this is her first grandson!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes flickered, but he was genuinely happy. As the saying goes, "three husbands and four attendants," and serving the emperor is not the same as serving a servant. It is a proper status that even the royal family must acknowledge.
However, Bai Yu still felt a little guilty when he thought about the child...

[Wow! Can you guess why the eldest princess hasn't had a child yet?]
