Chapter 162 - 160: She Dislikes Lu Ying’s Aloof and Steady Demeanor
Shen Yinning closed the painting scroll, her expression serious. "Teacher, your kind intentions are appreciated, but at present, I truly have no mind to select an ideal husband. Moreover, the matter of divorce is not something that can be resolved so quickly. When the day comes that I wish to choose a new husband, I shall undoubtedly seek your guidance."
Although Yu Qingheng felt regretful, he couldn’t truly make decisions for her in such matters. He could only let her be.
Due to Lu Ying, Shen Yinning did not stay at the Yu residence tonight.
The two returned to the Shen Garden by carriage, and Lu Ying remained silent the entire journey.
Shen Yinning knew he was still angry about the words from earlier.
She had no interest in placating him. Instead, she rummaged through trunks and chests, eventually finding the tooth bracelet she had stolen from Shen Xinglei’s study among the boxes brought back from the ruins of the Gao Family estate.
She handed the tooth bracelet and a handkerchief to Haitang, instructing her to secretly deliver them to Cui Ji’s residence.
After completing these tasks, she returned to her bedchamber, where she saw Lu Ying, freshly bathed, sitting under the lamplight perusing a copybook.
It was the copybook she had recently been practicing with.
She smiled sweetly, "How do my calligraphy skills look, my lord?"
