Shen Hua shrank into a corner of the carriage cautiously.

After dipping the handkerchief in warm water, she carefully wiped off the blood stains on herself.

The long scar extended to the corner of her lips, and her fair complexion made her look very frightening.

Shen Hua bit her lip hard, her eyes misty. His body trembled slightly due to the pain.

“The wound is not deep. I’ve already asked the medical attendant to develop a plaster.”

Cui Yun’s voice was cold, but it carried a rare sense of comfort.

What did he mean by ‘not too deep’? Shen Hua glanced at him resentfully.

This golden ticket of hers, her face, was bleeding!

Shen Hua’s emotions always came and disappeared quickly. Cui Yun had never seen anyone change their expression so quickly.

The little lady’s cheeks puffed up, and her head drooped listlessly. Exquisite embroidered shoes poked out from under her skirt, embroidered with plum blossoms.

The tip of her foot was swaying in a circle.

Shen Hua’s thoughts were empty. She wanted to buy a house, but before that, she could only rest in the inn.

Fengzhou was neither big nor small. To avoid Shen Qu’s tricks, Shen Hua had to find a safe house, and it would be best if it was next to Magistrate Liu’s residence.

After settling down the servants and getting better, he left Feng Zhou City.

The prosperity of Shengjing, the beauty of Hengzhou… She wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Thinking of this, she hummed a happy tune. However, as soon as he raised his head, he met Cui Yun’s dark eyes.

Shen Hua tilted her head and blinked.

Cui Yun did not feel embarrassed at all. He was not looking at Shen Hua. He was just thinking about the Supreme Court case.

When they set off, they obtained Emperor Hun’s approval.

He did not dare to slack off on his official duties. After he returned, he would definitely be busy with the documents piled up on the chopping board for a while.

“Benefactor.”

A soft, feminine voice was heard. It pulled him out of his thoughts.

Cui Yun’s eyes gathered.

Shen Hua moved her toes and turned around. “Did I draw it round?” she asked excitedly.

She looked very much like Cui Rong, who was asking for candy. Cui Yun’s gaze was also rarely gentle.

“Mistress Shen is intelligent.”

What sweet words! This man’s mouth was really stained with honey.

Shen Hua cursed silently, but her lips could not help but curl up, revealing her smugness.

She was intelligent and clever. Those words… There was nothing wrong with them.

—

As soon as they entered the inn, Cui Yun asked the waiter to book a few rooms so that Shen Hua’s people could stay in them.

After doing all this, he was about to give a few words of advice, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Hua, who was behind him, ran over with her hands on her hips to watch the servant move the vase, afraid that she would knock it over.

“Be careful. Move to my room.”

Her every move was indeed like a child’s.

He was alert when he was fierce, but his nature was sometimes confused.

Cui Yun smiled and walked back into the house.

Yi Cui hugged the rabbit doll. After Cui Yun left, she could not help but ask carefully.

“My lady, are we really going to follow the Marquis?”

Yicui was older than Shen Hua and was worried.

This kind of noble person with a prominent status could not be relied on forever. If it was only a moment of novelty to her lady, and the man was fickle. After he got tired of her, how would her lady deal with herself?

After all, his wife had no one to protect her.

“No.”

Shen Hua rubbed her cold face. He began to apply the medicine.

The weather was cold, and even the breath she breathed out seemed to freeze.

She turned her gaze to the neat and tidy embroidery woman.

This was sent by the old woman last time, and she was also the oldest woman under her.

“Madam Cheng is honest and dutiful. She is a capable person. In the next few days, go with her around the Liu residence where the county magistrate lives and see if there are any houses for sale. Madam Cheng should know the price of the house. Remember to discuss it with her. ”

Shen Hua was rich, but she did not want to be scammed.

Yi Cui’s eyes lit up. She could not wait any longer and hurriedly said, “This servant will go now.”

She was reliable and did not forget to call a servant girl to serve Shen Hua before she left.

Shen Hua watched the two of them walk away before she went back to her room to rest with a tired expression.

“Shen Hua!”

Someone called out to her from behind.

She turned around and saw Zhou Zhizhi, who was dressed in pink.

Zhou Zhizhi looked ordinary, and her only highlight was her scholarly aura.

She did not have many accessories on her, making her look shabby and rustic. Shen Hua was familiar with the jade band on her waist.

It was the token that He Chu had given her a few years ago. Shen Hua had thrown it back when their engagement was broken off a few days ago. Now, Zhou Zhizhi was wearing it and walking around the city.

Zhou Zhizhi looked around. There was a lot of traffic in front of the inn. Perhaps it was the end of the year, but the business in the inn was getting quieter by the day.

“I have something to discuss with you. May I have a chat?”

Shen Hua could not be bothered with her.

Seeing that Shen Hua was silent, Zhou Zhizhi quickly added, “Just for a little while. It won’t take up too much of your time.”

Zhou Zhizhi spoke softly and generously. There was no embarrassment at all.

What Shen Hua despised the most was Zhou Zhizhi’s behavior.

She still remembered that year when Zheng Qianyu had pointed at Zhou Zhizhi’s nose.

“Are you pretending or not? If you have anything to say, just say it. Isn’t it uncomfortable to hold it in?”

“Third Lady Zheng, you’ve misunderstood me.” Zhou Zhizhi smiled faintly.

“Zhou Zhizhi, I hate people like you the most. The concubine that my father took reminds me of you. You think you’re so high and mighty, like you’re a fairy who drinks flower dew.”

Zhou Zhizhi smiled. “I was the one who angered Third Lady. Why don’t I apologize to you? ”

“Come on, scold me. You’re making me very unhappy.”

“Third Lady, you must be joking.”

At that time, Zheng Qianyu was furious. He turned to look for Shen Hua.

“Shen Hua, are you acting?”

Shen Hua exploded on the spot.

Zheng Qianyu gave Shen Hua the same words that she had given Zhou Zhizhi.

“I hate people like you the most. The concubine my father took in is exactly like you! You think you’re high and mighty all day long and think you’re a fairy drinking floral dew.”

Shen Hua could not take it and chased after Zheng Qianyu. However, his body did not allow him to do so. After running a few steps, he stopped to catch his breath.

“Concubine? Me! The Shen family’s daughter! Are you comparing me to a concubine?

“I’m too beautiful. It’s annoying to be envied!”

Is a fairy an eyesore to you?

“You rice seller, come over and let me slap you! Or should I walk over and slap you? ”

Zheng Qianyu thought, ‘Is this how normal people behave?’ She had been bullied by Zhou Zhizhi, but she was satisfied with Shen Hua.

On the other hand, Shen Hua did not like this Zhou Zhizhi at all.

She did not like being compared to Zhou Zhizhi by the people in the city.

The Zhou family’s wife was gentle and considerate, speaking in a soft voice and having a good heitherart.

Tsk! That Shen family’s daughter was not so bad e. At such a young age, she had a belly full of bad ideas.

She wondered who would have the good fortune to marry Mistress Zhou.

Shen Hua did not want to ruin a good family.

Haha!

The He Chu that she had ruined was now Zhou Zhizhi’s fiance.

“No, I’m sleepy. I want to sleep.”

Shen Hua looked at her from the corner of her eyes. It was only natural that she rejected her.
