621 The Secret About the Past 239 (1/2)
She came down only after about half an hour. Wearing a new set of clothes and fresh makeup on her face, she looked especially alluring.
The maid passed her the milk. ”Princess Consort, your glass of milk.”
Lin Shishi took the glass from her and finished the milk in one gulp. As they were about to leave, Tuoba Danxue asked as she entered the house, ”Brother, Sister-in-law, where are you both going?”
”We're going back to A City.”
Tuoba Danxue immediately asked, ”May I tag along?”
Lin Shishi covered her mouth as she grinned. ”Are you going to see Minxing?”
Tuoba Danxue's face flushed into a bright beetroot color. ”Umm. Anyway, I want to go out as well. I don't want to be cooped up here.”
”Alright, let's go together.”
Tuoba Danxue immediately followed the couple out in high spirits.
A total of three cars left the Autumn Palace one after another.
In the car, Tuoba Gucheng enquired, ”I seldom go to A City, are there any fun places there?”
”Yes.” Lin Shishi chuckled. ”I'm the most familiar with that place, there are many fun places there.”
”The university you previously went to was in A City?”
”Umm. But then I married you, right? So I won't be going back to the university in the future. A teacher will be coming to give me private lessons from now on. I can't let my studies rot away.” Lin Shishi rolled down the car window slightly, allowing some wind to enter. ”Look at the weather, it's turning cold. If only it was spring or summer. With all that greenery and flowers blooming, everywhere will be bursting with life.”
As she did not get an answer, Lin Shishi turned and noticed that he was looking out the window, appearing to be troubled. She nudged his elbow and asked, ”Why do you look upset today?”
”That's why I wanted to get out, to ease my mind.”
Lin Shishi showed a look of understanding. ”I'll show you around when we arrive.”
”Okay.”

An Xiaoning destroyed that ugly-looking face mask. To be more specific, she burned it.
Amongst everything that must be burned, that was the first on her list.
At the present moment, she still had the beautiful face mask that resembled human skin. When it was needed, she would still use it.
But right now, she still wanted to go out in her actual looks.
She wanted to be in her actual skin, enjoying the sunlight, the air, the breeze — to experience everything.
After eating, she went to get a full package at the beauty parlor, then went to get her hair done.
This took up her whole morning.
With her newly-permed hair flowing over her shoulders, along with her dainty face and exquisite features, nobody could guess that she was already a thirty-year-old woman.
No matter who it was who guesses her age when meeting her for the first time, the oldest age they would guess of her was always about twenty-three to twenty-four years old.
Having visited the beauty parlor and hair salon, she proceeded to go shopping for furniture, lifestyle products, and clothing in the afternoon.
She only gave herself one afternoon's time to finish shopping for everything.
With money, things were easily done. This saying was very true.
She went to the furniture store to pick out all the furniture she needed in one go and instructed for them to be delivered to her house.
Even though everything had been taken care of, she did not intend to move into her new house at the present moment.
