One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Bai Yu frowned. "What's going on?"

"Please be merciful, princess. The madame wants to see you one last time. You can't be so cold-blooded."

"How dare you!" Bai Yan was infuriated. Did he not care that the matter was not serious enough to cause such a ruckus?

A layer of frost covered Shen Ninghua's brows. "Bring that person in."

A servant whose body was drenched in sweat was brought into the hall with a twist of his arm.

The manservant was brought into the hall and immediately stopped wailing. He knelt down towards Shen Ninghua and said with a fawning voice, "Your servant pays his respects to Your Highness."

Shen Ninghua sat on the seat and lowered her eyes to look at the person kneeling on the floor. She asked, "I remember that you're a servant of the Shen family. You've always been a servant in the Old Madam's courtyard, right?"

"Yes, it is your servant. Your servant Wu Ping greets the princess."

"Wu Ping? You should be Wu mama's son. "

"Yes, it's a servant. I didn't expect that after so long, the princess still remembers this servant. This servant is truly flattered." Wu Ping was kneeling on the floor. His eyes, however, were observing the layout of Shen Ninghua's room from time to time. A bright light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Shen Ninghua smiled slightly and said, "You've been riding all the way here. It's not easy to leave in the rain, right?"

"That's right, it was raining heavily, and there were actually quite a few commoners on the road. I almost bumped into them, and it was even a servant who was sharp enough to take care of the trouble. Otherwise, he would still be on his way."

Bai Yan's eyes were cold and sharp. He wished that he could cut him down with a knife.

It seemed that quite a number of people already knew about the important matter of the Xiao family's illness seeing him, "Bai Yu, Wu Ping came all the way here with some money to change his clothes. He was drenched in sweat and the weather was very cold, it would not be good if he caught a cold."

Upon hearing the word 'thank you', Wu Ping's eyes lit up. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, kowtowing countless times more sincerely than before. "Thank you princess, thank you princess!"

Bai Mo suppressed his anger and ordered his men to bring Wu Ping down.

"Miss, you can tell that Wu Ping was used as an abandoned son by someone. Why did you keep him here?"

"At this time, there is nothing clear, so we can't act rashly. Although this Wu Ping is greedy for money and ignorant, a small figure like him might be of great use. In any case, keeping him alive would not hurt him greatly, so I'll let him live for a few more days. "

Bai Yu nodded and looked at Shen Ninghua who was staring out of the window. The worry in his heart grew stronger and stronger. "It's still spring, how could there be such a heavy rain and the Old Mistress is in trouble right now? It's really worrisome."

The sound of the rain could be heard, and Shen Ninghua's anger and joy could not be discerned. "I'm afraid someone specially selected this kind of weather."

Bai Yu was so shocked that his heart trembled. "Miss, do you think it was the Xiao family who did this? After all, the Xiao family's old patriarch had only come to make trouble earlier."

"It's possible. Who can say for sure?" As Shen Ninghua spoke, she suddenly turned to look at the door. Bi Zhu walked in quickly and reported with an anxious tone of voice.

"Miss, the old master has come. He is walking into the mansion in a hurry and wants to see you."

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned cold. Looking at Shen Dong walking in through the rain, she nodded her head and said, "I saw it."

Shen Ninghua stood on the spot, not moving an inch. "Father came through the heavy rain and was completely drenched. Let's change clothes first. Grandmother is still not recovered yet, you should be sick first."

Shen Dong frowned, "How can you care so much, quickly come with me."

Shen Dong suddenly raised his head and glared at Shen Ninghua, his voice filled with disbelief. "You're refusing me like this, aren't you going to meet your grandmother one last time?"

"What are you saying, father? I will naturally go."

"Since you are going, why are you still preparing? I've ordered some people to bring a carriage over. We'll wait at the door. Quickly, let's go."

Shen Ninghua shook her head. "Yes, but not at this time."

"What?" Shen Dong's face was filled with anger, "Your grandmother seemed to be on the verge of death, saying that she wants to see you for the last time, but you actually tried to resist her, congealed, your identity is different now, don't tell me you don't even want your human nature anymore?"

"Father, I can't leave the princess' mansion with my confinement."

"You don't have to worry about that. Father just went to the palace to beg the emperor, and the emperor has already lifted your restraining order."

Shen Ninghua asked, "It's raining heavily outside, and father doesn't have any official position. How could he enter the Imperial Palace?"

"Outside the palace, I coincidentally bumped into a steward from Cheng Gan Palace. He helped me report to him, so it didn't take him long at all."

Shen Ninghua sneered in his heart. What a coincidence. "It's not like I didn't delay at all. From the news of my grandmother's illness to you calling me to meet her in the Shen Mansion, it's only been less than two hours."

"Ning Hua, what do you mean? Are you afraid that Father will harm you? "

Shen Ninghua stared straight into Shen Dong's eyes. His black pupils were bottomless. "I wouldn't dare to, Ninghua. However, I won't be there until Chu Junyi returns."

"Chu Junyi?" "He was called into the palace by the emperor, but we don't know when he'll return. How long are you going to wait?" Shen Dong said angrily.

"No matter how long it takes, I will wait."

Shen Dong suddenly slammed the teacup on the table, "Shen Ninghua, are you completely abandoning filial piety?"

Shen Ninghua did not answer. She only watched as the curtain of rain grew bigger and bigger outside the door.

Shen Dong did not get a response, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, good, very good! When the Shen family was defeated, you took your grandmother over to provide for them. Back then, many people said that you did not forget your filial piety, and now, it seems that you are just acting. Now, even if I let you take a look at your dying grandmother, I will not be able to invite you! "

Shen Dong emphasized the word 'please', his eyes almost shooting out fire.

Shen Ninghua remained unmoved. "It doesn't matter what you say, Father. I won't risk my child."

Shen Dong's face flashed a look of sorrow, his face was ashen as he said: "Okay, since it's like this, I won't make things difficult for you." Your Highness, this commoner will now bid farewell. " Then, he turned around and walked into the heavy rain, leaving the Princess' Mansion in quick steps.

Shen Ninghua silently sat on the chair, not reacting for a long time.

Bai Yu was extremely worried, but he didn't know what to say. "Miss, please take care of yourself and think about our young mistress."

Shen Ninghua slightly sighed, "It's nothing. You went to look for Hong Ling, did you come back?"

After about an hour, Hong Ling, drenched from head to toe, ran in. "Miss, Prince Consort has returned."

Chu Junyi hurried back with great haste, feeling extremely vexed. Upon entering the door, he saw Shen Ninghua who looked a little upset. "Ninghua, I'm late."

Shen Ninghua shook her head. "It's fine. Let's not talk about other things for now. Let's go to the Shen Mansion and visit Grandmother."

"Alright."

Chu Junyi didn't change her clothes. Ignoring the fact that her clothes were all stuck to her body, she accompanied Shen Ninghua out of the room.

The carriage moved forward quickly, braving the heavy rain.

Shen Ninghua looked out the window of the horse carriage and saw, as expected, many commoners standing below the buildings on both sides of the street, pointing and pointing at the horse carriage.

Shen Ninghua slightly closed her eyes and suppressed the coldness within. Her reputation as an unfilial son was going to be spread out. What a vicious move!

Just as the carriage came to a halt, Chu Junyi dismounted from her horse and walked over to help Shen Ninghua out of the carriage.

The cyan sparrow used an umbrella to cover Shen Ninghua's body, trying its best not to let her get wet. It was just that the rain was heavy and the wind was blowing. Not long after it came out, Shen Ninghua's skirt was wet.

The Shen Mansion was initially treated as Shen Ninghua's Princess Mansion, but after the newly built Princess Mansion was completed, the place was restored to being Shen Mansion.

At this moment, the vermilion door was tightly shut. It was obvious that it had no intentions of welcoming anyone.

Hong Ling went to knock on the door under the rain, but no one came after a long time.

Chu Junyi frowned deeply. "Ninghua, you wait in the carriage. I'll call the door."

Shen Ninghua nodded. The rain was too cold, she couldn't risk her own child.

Just as she was about to board the carriage, the door was suddenly opened. Shen Ninghua turned around to look and saw Shen Dong, dressed in a filial uniform made of sackcloth.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Ninghua stood firm once again. "To see Grandmother."

Shen Dong's face was taut: "Princess, you're mistaken. You've already lost all relations with the Shen family. The Xiao family isn't your grandmother, so I'm sorry to trouble you. Princess, please go back."

Shen Ninghua did not care about Shen Dong's vile attitude. She knitted her brows and asked, "Grandmother passed away?"

Shen Dong laughed coldly, "Yes, she passed away. Before she died, she wanted to see her granddaughter once, but she did not do so. She just passed away with regret! Your Highness, are you satisfied? "

"I'll go in and see Grandmother."

Shen Dong stepped forward and blocked the door, "Your Highness, I dare not trouble you. With your noble body, do not get contaminated by the foul air here. Princess, please leave.

Immediately, a servant pushed on the door and slammed it shut.

Hong Ling's face turned ugly. She kicked on the door harshly, "Princess, I forcefully opened the door."

"Stop!" Shen Ninghua stopped Hong Ling's movement and said, "Let's go back."

"Princess?" Hong Ling was surprised. After being tormented for so long, she went back just like that?

"Go back!" Shen Ninghua's voice was as cold as ice.

Chu Junyi retracted her gaze and helped Shen Ninghua into the carriage. "Let's go. We'll talk when we get back."

Inside the Princess' residence, Bai Yu was extremely surprised to see that Shen Ninghua had returned so quickly. "Princess, why are you back so soon?"

Chu Junyi frowned as she looked at Bai Yu. "Don't say anything else. Prepare some hot water for the princess to bathe and change into."

The hem of Shen Ninghua's skirt was mostly wet, and she could feel the warmth in the room. Only then did she feel slightly better.

Bai Yunxiao was extremely worried. "Yes, your servant will prepare some hot water right away."
