“Does Mistress Shen know Xie Xun?”

Shen Hua’s ears buzzed, making her feel uncomfortable. As for what Cui Yun asked, she could not hear it.

The eyes of her palm-sized face widened. The little lady was a little dazed at this moment.

Cui Yun lifted his sleeves and poured tea for him. After giving Shen Hua some buffer time, he said slowly, “He knows your brother and has just returned to Shengjing from the frontier fortress. Perhaps he sent someone to inquire on his way back to the court and learned of your brother’s bad news. He couldn’t escape, so he asked me to look for him.”

Shen Hua seemed to have forgotten her previous embarrassment. In a moment of quietness, she almost knocked over the tea that Cui Yun handed over.

“You know my brother?” she murmured in a daze.

Cui Yun did not blame her for being rude. As he spoke, he turned to look at the letter beside him.

“I’m afraid you don’t believe me, so I brought a token with me. Take a look. Are these words familiar? ”

Shen Hua took it stiffly.

She bit her lower lip and opened it with trembling fingers.

Although the letter was quite old, its owner cherished it very much and kept it well. There were no wrinkles at all.

Shen Hua was ignorant and incompetent, but in her previous life, in order to kill time, she was literate.

It was indeed Brother’s handwriting.

Shen Zhi this person had a problem, in the end when he put away the brush, it would appear elegant, always stretching out by half.

The tone of the letter was familiar, but one could vaguely tell that the person who wrote the letter had a lot on his mind, and even his handwriting was impetuous.

Shen Zhi mentioned in the letter that he wanted to see Xie Xun.

Even though Shen Hua had never mentioned Xie Xun to Shen Zhi, she knew that he had a faithful friend whom she had been in contact with all year round.

The little lady gradually tightened her grip on the letter. When she came back to her senses, she carefully smoothed it out as if it was a treasure.

It turned out that even though her brother was dead, he was still secretly helping her.

“When I came, I knew that your body wasn’t well, but I didn’t expect you to be so sick.

“It’s a good thing that there’s a doctor in the residence. His medical skills are superb. When the time comes, let him personally take your pulse.” Cui Yun said gently.

“My illness is incurable.” Shen Hua no longer had any hope.

Ji He clicked his tongue and hurriedly said.

“That’s right, but that old Ni Kang does have some talent.

“Mistress Shen, you don’t know this, but although that doctor has a big temper, after a few needles, he has brought people back from the dead before.

“His whereabouts are uncertain, and there are many people who want him to treat them.”

“Cui Yun has invited him over and over again for his niece. It wasn’t easy for him to get him out of the mountains. Maybe he’ll take a look at you and you’ll be cured after taking a few pills. ”

Ni… Kang?

Shen Hua had heard that he was the one her mother invited to Shengjing that year.

Shen Chunshi had just heard about Ni Kang’s whereabouts in Shengjing City and left Fengzhou City in a hurry. Unfortunately, Ni Kang had already left by the time she reached Shengjing.

Afterward, her mother would always sigh.

If my Yangyang could see Doctor Ni personally, would she be better now?

Shen Hua’s face trembled.

Maybe she could live a long life like a normal person.

Cui Yun listened to Ji He quietly. Seeing that Shen Hua was silent, he said, “It’s good that you’re willing. So what if you’re unwilling? Since I came here, I must take you away.

“But don’t worry, I’m not interested in you like that.

“It’s just that the journey is tiring. I wonder if you…”

“I’m willing.”

Shen Hua quickly said.

Afraid that Cui Yun did not hear her, she met the man’s eyes and repeated herself.

“I’m willing.”

Cui Yun smiled faintly.

“Xie Xun might not be able to return before the new year, so I’ll settle you down.”

Shen Hua looked at him eagerly and asked softly, “Then should I go back with you?”

She did not look like Cui Rong, but more like the kitten that Cui Yun raised six years ago.

“There are many people in the residence, and the rules are strict. Fortunately, I have an empty courtyard under my name. I’ll let you stay there when the time comes.”

Ji He was speechless.

How complicated.

The residential list of the Marquis of Yangling’s Manor in the capital was considered simple.

As for the rules…

In the entire mansion, besides Old Master Cui, only Cui Yun held much authority.

Shen Hua quickly agreed. She left happily.

“How shameless can you be? How can you lie like this?”

Cui Yun raised his teacup, looking very relaxed.

“Don’t you think that this Mistress Shen is like Snowball?”

Ji He was speechless.

“The cat you raised.”

“The one I raised and buried?” Ji He asked with difficulty.

Ji He was so angry that he laughed. He followed her out of the house.

He had to find a way to meet that Sheng’er and Flower Maiden before he went back!

Only then did Ji Qing close the door. He told Cui Yun everything he heard just now.

Cui Yun’s expression was normal.

Hearing this sentence again.

‘This is actually not something worth showing off. After all, I have no romantic feelings for Lord Marquis.’

Cui Yun’s dense eyelashes, which were like the gentle breeze of a gentleman who was considerate in everything, turned into a thick fog at the bottom of his eyes. He finally let out a mocking laugh.

If it was not for Xie Xun’s people, he might not have minded raising another cat.

Shen Hua returned to her room with a heavy head.

An empty house was good!

Without a master, there would be no restrictions.

“My lady, did Young Marquis Cui express his feelings to you?” The maidservant followed behind Shen Hua.

Shen Hua, who was immersed in the sudden joy, seemed to have been splashed with cold water.

Shen Hua said, “No…”

“My lady, why do you look a little pale?”

“I’m just tired.” Shen Hua pretended to be dignified.

“Then Mistress Shen should rest first. If there’s anything, call this servant.”

Once the servant girl left, Shen Hua’s face fell.

She knocked her head against the wall, her fingers unconsciously tapping against the wall.

As expected of a young master from a big family, he was considerate in everything. Cold on the outside, warm on the inside.

He did not blame her for thinking too highly of herself, but he took into account the fact that she was too shy and trying to brush it off.

Shen Hua continued to knock on the wall, but her face was getting hotter and hotter. Her face was bright red, like a blooming begonia.

But… It was true! How embarrassing!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

She was suffocating.

—

Yi Cui brought back a piece of good news.

“My lady, coincidentally, there is a house opposite Magistrate Liu for sale. I went to take a look. The courtyard has three entrances and three exits. It’s not bad. I’m afraid that someone will get it first. Why don’t Wifey go and take a look? If it works, you can buy it directly.”

Shen Hua seemed to have lost her soul.

“I’m not buying.”

Yi Cui was silent.

“I want to go to Shengjing.”

Yi Cui was speechless again.

“Young Master Cui is noble and upright. Worried that I wouldn’t be used to living under someone else’s roof, he proposed to let me borrow the vacant courtyard house.”

She only left for a moment. How could her lady change her decision?

Yi Cui, who had no idea what had happened, exclaimed,”How can this be!”

Shen Hua said, “You don’t have to worry. He brought it up himself. I didn’t force him. ”

Shen Hua had a lot of twisted logic. She also did not think that Cui Yun would owe her anything despite being run off his feet by her. This was Xie Xun’s suggestion, so Xie Xun should be the one to return the favor.

As for this Xie Xun whom he had never met before…

Shen Hua was grateful to him.

She was willing to give Xie Xun money. If he did not accept it, then he would find Shen Zhi to return it.

Yi Cui stammered, so anxious that she could not speak properly.

“Mother… Son!”

“Don’t be deceived.”

“This Young Master Cui is full of tricks and treats you as a mistress!”

Shen Hua caught the main point.

She widened her round almond-shaped eyes.

“Nonsense, why would I be ashamed?”
