Chapter 201 It was you who killed me!
Chapter 201 It was you who harmed me!
——Madam, do you believe the crazy talk outside? How could you, Madam, be the one to defeat both the Madam and the Young Master in danger? These are all nonsense!
——Let Madam see with her own eyes how her good mood has changed like this.
——Madam, you have to live and live well.
Shen Hua subconsciously dug at the corner of the table with her fingertips.
she's fine?
It was just that the burden was too heavy and I was almost crushed. During that period, I was not happy at all.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cui Yun slowly walked in, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. His eyes inadvertently rested on Shen Hua for a moment.
"The servants of the Fuguo Duke's mansion are here to look for you."
Xie Xun calmed down his emotions.
Soon, a servant dressed as a servant entered the room and respectfully said hello.
"Sir, the officials have summoned you to the palace."
Eunuch Ying was the most favored servant around Emperor Geng.
Xie Xun's smile froze and he stood up silently: "There are many famous pastries in Shengjing. I know a shop and I will take you to try them next time."
Shen Hua nodded: "Okay."
Xie Xun wanted to say something else, but it stopped between his lips and teeth.
He took out a very delicate box from his arms and gently brought it to Shen Hua.
"This is candied fruit."
Shen Hua frowned: "After taking medicine for many years, I am no longer afraid of pain."
Xie Xun Seran: "Which girl is not afraid of hardship?"
The boy was so anxious that he cried when he saw him again, so Xie Xun had no choice but to say goodbye.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard Cui Yun say softly behind him: "Do you know why the official summoned you to the palace?"
Xie Xun said warmly: "Counting the days, the fifth princess will return to Shengjing soon."
The young man who came was a confidant of Duke Fu, and there were no outsiders here. Xie Xun had no worries: "Although the Jing Mansion has closed the case, the four princes and their party have been harmed, so the actions of the East Palace should be frequent."
The fifth princess is the younger sister of the prince's sibling.
The case of suppressing bandits should have occupied Emperor Ge's mind for many days, but in the end he couldn't bear the thought of someone going to Emperor Ge's presence to make repeated comments.
Xie Xun turned around and bumped into Cui Yun behind her. Shen Hua's clear eyes were holding a large and a small box in her arms. They were all gifts from him: "The officials probably want me to pick up Wu Princess. "
When the princess born to the empress returns to the capital, it will definitely be a grand event. If he greets her and escorts her all the way, if the emperor gives her another marriage, it will surely become a good story among the people.
Seeing that he was very clear about it, Cui Yun didn't ask any more questions.
After they left, Shen Hua looked at the direction Xie Xun left for a long time.
Cui Yun glanced at her coldly.
"Haven't seen enough?"
Shen Hua slowly looked away.
She was extremely troubled. She didn't know if Yan Mi's marriage could be called off, and Xie Xun was targeted by the officials again.
"I wonder if a person like Prince Xie can refuse such a thankless job."
She raised her head to look at Cui Yun.
"How would I act if I were my cousin?"
If it were him, he would definitely make a fuss out of being injured during the suppression of the bandits. Whether the wound was deep or severe was not a matter of Xie Xun's words.
Even if it heals, you can still make up for it and be cruel to yourself.
Xie Xun is not stupid, he will probably be like this.
But Cui Yun didn't want to talk to Shen Hua about this.
Cui Yun: "Send you back to the east courtyard."
"But I'm not sleepy."
She opened the box and found that it was divided into two compartments, one for candied cherries and the other for preserved apricots.
There are not many honey cherries, just look at a dozen or so. They are moist and soaked in concentrated sugar liquid.
Xie Xun was very considerate. There was a groove inside the box, and inside it was a very thin silver fork that was convenient for eating.
Cui Yun remained calm: "Like it?"
Shen Hua nodded heavily: "I like it."
Cui Yun frowned. He straightened the hem of his clothes with his fingertips. He thought about the lively conversation between Shen Hua and Xie Xun just now.
"Is it because you like preserves, or is it because of the person who gave you preserves?"
Shen Hua was puzzled: "Of course it's candied fruit."
Cui Yun nodded: "There is a difference between closeness and distance. Don't accept these again next time."
"Xie Xun has never been married, and the fifth princess is impatient. Even if he is an old friend of your brother, I'd better not see him in the future, lest I accidentally hurt you."
Shen Hua thinks what he said makes sense.
————
After returning to the east courtyard, as soon as he entered the house alone, his smiling face completely collapsed in front of Cui Yun.
In fact, Xie Xun's few words still affected her.
She doesn't really care.
The girl went to get the embroidery book that was almost torn through. She had already memorized the techniques in it. She lowered her eyes, blinked, and with a snap, tears fell.
She quickly reached out and wiped it.
——Yangyang, are you feeling uncomfortable again? Auntie, I’ll rub it for you.
This is what Shen Chun said the most before the accident happened.
How wanton she was back then.
She even naively believed that there was probably no girl in the world who was happier than her.
Until someone from the government comes.
The bad news came that Shen Chun and Shen Pheasant had fallen off a cliff.
She fainted from the pain.
But Shen Chun didn't come.
There is no young man bringing fresh snacks: "Eat less, or you will blame me if you have a toothache later."
The Shen Mansion was hung with mourning flags.
Shen Wei was heartbroken.
The little girl was sobbing and crying more pitifully than anyone else.
Later, her health became worse and worse, and Shen Wei was unable to do anything else. The embroidery workshop could not do without him, and Shen Hua could not do without him either.
The second uncle helped Mr. Shen to the door. The elder said to the depressed Shen Wei in front of the little girl.
"Your big house can't live without a woman to take care of the inner house. It's time for you to hire a bride."
Second uncle Shen Hewen followed suit.
"Yes, he is gone now, and one must always look forward. He is also small, and a woman must take good care of him."
"I do not want!"
She was as angry as a little beast.
The old Shen clan member looked at her lovingly, with disapproval in his eyes, as if looking at an ignorant child.
"With a new mother-in-law, and younger brothers and sisters in the future, this is what counts as a family."
Shen Hua only felt that it was extremely harsh, and she didn't listen to it.
"Let's go, you all go!"
"He is in charge of my family's affairs every day. As an elder, he opens his mouth and shuts up for my own good. If it is really for my own good, why don't you visit my house less often. If you die, I will still be able to offer you incense while you are still alive." "
Elder Shen: "You——"
Shen Hewen: "Yangyang, why are you talking? Brother, look at it, how can this house be done without women taking care of it? Don't let a good girl be delayed."
Shen Hua looked at him: "You are even more ridiculous. People who have been making trouble for a family separation for a long time now know how to call me big brother when life is not going well? If I were you, I would have no shame. Now I have the nerve to take care of my brother's family affairs? The government has blocked it. I printed the deed of division of the family in triplicate, why did you eat your share?"
But her self-righteousness was quickly defeated.
Because, she heard Shen Hewen said.
"Your mother-in-law and brother asked you for medicine. The fog came up on the steep mountain road, and the horse frightened and fell off the cliff. It was not you who caused it. I think you are young and I don't care about you. Why, right now Do you want to make your father not marry again?"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, striking her directly.
"Second brother, why are you telling him this?" Shen Wei broke down and roared.
The little girl's eyes are no longer focused.
She repeated it slowly.
"Did...I hurt you?"
