Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 29 - Im Not Used to You Being Away
Shen Roujia frowned slightly but did not speak. Instead, she walked over to Gu Zhi and whispered something to her.
Gu Zhi glanced at the muddy figure, surprised, “Could it really be such a coincidence?”
Shen Roujia laughed, “I bet they don’t even know about each other.”
Gu Zhi nodded, “Then let’s have them take Li Yong away and keep an eye on him.”
Li Yong started struggling again, “What are you going to do? I won’t say anything!”
Shen Roujia shook her finger at him, “If you want to stay alive, you’d better be smart now.”
Li Yong looked at Shen Roujia in a daze, “What do you want to know…”
Shen Roujia smiled, “I already know most of it. I just need some confirmation.”
She waved to the black-clad men, “Take him back, and make sure he’s well taken care of. Don’t let him starve to death.”
The black-clad man nodded immediately, “Yes, we will take him back to the Hidden Pavilion.”
He glanced at Gu Zhi, “And this lady…”
He instinctively looked at Gu Zhi. Shen Roujia snapped, “What? Do you want to teach me how to do things?”
The man quickly shrank his neck, “No, no.”
Shen Roujia waved her hand, “Go ahead.”
She paused, then smiled mischievously, “By the way, Li Yong, I forgot to tell you, we can’t afford to offend Commander Zhao. If the Hidden Pavilion spares you, you should learn to be grateful.”
Cold sweat broke out on Li Yong, his hair standing on end, “Do you know something?”
Shen Roujia shrugged, “What does it matter if I do or don’t?”
She smiled and took Gu Zhi’s arm, “Let’s go. I’m tired.”
Gu Zhi helped Shen Roujia back onto the horse and tossed a token to the black-clad man, “I’ll visit the Hidden Pavilion in a few days.”
The man looked down at the token in confusion and then was stunned, “This… a top-grade token?”
It wasn’t until Gu Zhi walked away that the man realized, lifting his head to look at the distant figure, mumbling, “Senior Shadow! She’s actually Senior Shadow?”
Shen Roujia cheerfully swung her legs, making Gu Zhi ask, “Why are you so happy?”
Shen Roujia looked at her in surprise, “Hmm, maybe because things are clearer now, and I feel a bit relieved.”
Gu Zhi nodded, “This evidence is crucial. The Qiao family doesn’t know about this yet. It’s likely that the Zhao family is manipulating things, wanting to eradicate all traces.”
Shen Roujia’s expression grew serious, “Although that’s likely, the Zhao family taking such a risk now seems too dangerous, unless…”
Gu Zhi looked at Shen Roujia, “Unless they have a bigger plan.”
Shen Roujia smiled approvingly, “Exactly.”
As dusk fell, the streets were quiet.

When Shen Roujia returned to the mansion, she saw Xiao Fu anxiously waiting outside.
“Your Highness, His Highness is here.”
Shen Roujia paused, “What?”
Xiao Fu quickly explained, “I told them you were still sleeping and didn’t let anyone in. Sir Shen has already taken His Highness to the study.”
Shen Roujia wasted no time and hurriedly returned to her room through the back door.
Shen Siqi had just returned and immediately started helping her change, “Big Brother is stalling him, it should be fine.”
Shen Roujia frowned, “Why did he come suddenly?”
Xu Zening and Shen Hexuan sat across from each other, playing chess in silence.
When they heard the slow footsteps outside, Xu Zening finally relaxed, “Brother Shen, you made a wrong move.”
Shen Hexuan smiled slightly, “His Highness is excellent at chess.”
Shen Roujia arrived late but didn’t appear flustered, her eyes filled with surprise, “Your Highness, why did you come?”
Xu Zening looked at Shen Roujia, a hint of warmth in his eyes, “I went to see you today, and Bai Wei said you had returned home. I also have matters to discuss with Prime Minister Shen, so I came to fetch you.”
Shen Roujia hesitated, “Is there something urgent at the palace?”
Xu Zening adjusted the blanket on his legs, “Not really.”
He paused slightly, his tone carrying a bit of grievance, “It’s just… I’m not used to you being away.”
Shen Hexuan coughed awkwardly, “Since that’s the case, you should go back with His Highness before the curfew.”
Shen Roujia ground her teeth and squeezed out a word, “Fine.”
Shen Roujia ignored Xu Zening all the way back, stubbornly turning her head away like a child having a tantrum.
Xu Zening patiently flipped through a book, unbothered.
Shen Roujia stole a glance at him and then pouted.
Xu Zening, feeling her gaze, paused and gently asked, “Why aren’t you talking?”
Shen Roujia huffed and remained silent.
Seeing her ignore him, Xu Zening was quiet for a while before suddenly saying, “Were you secretly meeting a man?”
Shen Roujia’s eyes widened, “What?”
Xu Zening chuckled, “If I didn’t know Qiao Qi well…”
Shen Roujia muttered, “People might think you have magical powers.”
Xu Zening lightly pinched a page of his book, naturally looking at Shen Roujia, “Didn’t you want a divorce?”
Shen Roujia finally looked at him directly, her smile undisguised, “You’re agreeing?”
Xu Zening gazed into her clear eyes, seeing only his reflection within.
But there was a mysterious allure that seemed to draw him into that clear spring.
He looked away and smiled playfully, “Sister, tell me, what benefit do I gain from divorcing you?”
The way he called her “sister” was just right, making her heart flutter.
She awkwardly touched her nose, “Ah? I… Aren’t you and Rong Shuyao childhood sweethearts? I’m just helping you two.”
Xu Zening laughed again, “Why don’t I know about this?”
Shen Roujia looked at him sharply. Gossip could be misleading; the main character himself denied it.
As the carriage slowed down, Xu Zening listened to the sounds outside and softly said, “Sister, you need to show me your sincerity.”
Shen Roujia pursed her lips, frowning.
He’s no lamb!
Nowhere in the entire palace could one find another lamb as ruthless as him.
Underestimated him…
Meanwhile, chaos reigned in the Morning Sun Palace.
“Get out, all of you useless things!”
The maids knelt trembling, not daring to move.
Xu Liangeng slowly walked in from outside, bending down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces.
“Mother, it’s just a cat. I’ll find you a better one.”
Consort Shu held her belly, surprised to see him.
“Liangeng, why are you here at this time?”
Xu Liangeng gently held her arm, “Mother, I have something to discuss with you.”
