C36

Liang Mansion.

The warm sunlight shone down on the land, illuminating the entire garden with colorful lights. The flowers bloomed in the garden, and the morning sunlight shined even more brilliantly in Xi'an.

Sihan took the long skirt and ran one last lap before she put down her skirt. She slowly walked to the pavilion in the middle of the hundred flowers and sat down on the stone bench to rest.

"Miss, please cool the tea." As soon as Sihan sat on the stone bench, Ju'er brought the cold tea she had prepared earlier to Sihan. At the same time, he used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Sihan's forehead.

Sihan was panting as she sat on the stone bench to rest. When her breathing calmed a little, she picked up the teacup on the stone table and drank the cold tea in one gulp.

"Miss, why are you running around the garden every day?" Ju'er asked Sihan, a little confused. To her, Miss had nothing better to do, so she left her young mistress out of consideration. Since she had to run around the garden in the middle of the night, she definitely wouldn't stop until she was drenched in sweat.

Sihan placed the teacup in her hand on the stone table and explained to Ju'er, "Practice yourself. Run a few laps like this every day and your young miss will grow stronger and stronger. At that time, I won't always be sick and eat those bitter herbs."

Ju'er nodded in realization, "So that's how it is. Chinese medicine is actually very bitter."

Sihan couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Ju'er's reaction. "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Ju'er hurriedly smiled at Sihan, "Your servant thinks so too. Miss gets up early every morning to exercise so as not to drink those bitter herbs again."

The ancients were indeed easily deceived. Ever since she set up a trap for Ju'er to think that she was the one who helped Ju'er, Ju'er had no doubts about whatever she said from then on. Just like this time, the reason why she would get up late at night to run was to increase her strength, but her goal was not to avoid the unspeakable pain of drinking Chinese medicine, but rather to allow her to freely enter and leave the Liang Household. At that time, even Liang Shibai would not be able to stop her. Only, she couldn't say these words to anyone, as she wanted to avoid arousing Liang Shibai's suspicion.

"Han'er, so you're here. Daddy has been looking for you the entire morning." Liang Shibai's tone carried a faint excitement.

Sihan immediately frowned. Just as she thought of Liang Shibai, Liang Shibai had arrived. Although she didn't really like Liang Shibai, he was still his father in this body.

Sihan stood up from the stone bench and forced out a smile to look at Liang Shibai. She said softly, "Father, why are you looking for your daughter so early?"

Liang Shibai looked at Sihan with great concern. "I heard that you've been running a few laps around the garden these past few nights?"

Sihan glanced at Ju'er, not realizing that this young maid had actually told Liang Shibai about her running.

"You, don't blame Ju'er. It was Father who asked her to tell Father. Even if you fell, it would be because you were too tired." Liang Shibai hurriedly stood up for Ju'er.

Sihan snorted coldly to herself. It was true that she was afraid that she would be exhausted, but perhaps she was afraid that if she was exhausted, she wouldn't be able to marry into a rich and powerful family?

Father, where did you say that? Why would my daughter blame Ju Er? My daughter worked so hard to train her body, but all that was important was to have a good body. In the future, she will no longer be sick, and she will no longer drink those unspeakably bitter traditional Chinese medicines. Originally, my daughter wanted to wait until her body was stronger before she told you in person, but she didn't expect that Ju'er would beat her to it. " Sihan looked at Ju'er beside her with a smile, not a single trace of blame in her eyes.

When Ju'er heard this, she hurriedly thanked Sihan. "Miss Xie doesn't blame Ju'er."

Liang Shibai looked at Sihan in disbelief. "It's really that simple to not drink soup medicine?" Not only had her personality changed, even her hobbies had changed. More importantly, her pair of agile eyes would often reveal a bright and sharp look, as if she was a completely different person from the Sihan from before.

As expected, the older the better, the harder it was for Liang Shibai to deceive him.

Sihan lowered her head and gave a bashful smile. Her eyes were like crescent moons, looking very beautiful in an instant. "Father, daughter's main purpose in strengthening her body and body isn't to find a good home in the future? Even if you are the richest man in the capital, so what if your daughter is as beautiful as a flower? "Who would want to marry a woman who has been sick all day and can only survive with medicine?" After finishing her sentence, she raised her eyes to look at Liang Shibai. Indeed, Liang Shibai's complexion was much better than it had been just now. "Even if those people are willing to marry their daughters, I'm afraid." She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Sure enough, Liang Shibai couldn't wait to ask Sihan, "What's there to be afraid of?"

Sihan raised her head, feigning fear as she looked at Liang Shibai. "Dad, if daughter says so, don't be angry!"

Liang Shibai waved impatiently at Sihan, "Don't worry, Father won't be angry."

Sihan sucked in a deep breath, as if gathering her courage. "Those people who are willing to go to such an illness like our daughter are probably also doing it for our Liang family's money. instead of loving your daughter wholeheartedly. " Sihan finished what she was about to say in one breath and secretly glanced at Liang Shibai's face.

"Nonsense, my daughter is so beautiful, how could the person who marries you only care about our Liang family's money!" Liang Shibai retorted angrily with a pale face.

Seeing Liang Shibai's chest rise and fall from anger, Sihan couldn't help but step forward and gently pat his back, saying gently, "Dad, don't be angry. As long as your daughter's body is strong and gets rid of the label, are you afraid that your daughter won't be able to find a man who truly loves her?"

Liang Shibai took a few deep breaths and then exhaled. Only then did he get rid of all the air in his chest. He nodded to Sihan, "Good, good exercise. Having a good body is better than anything!" Then, he turned around and ordered Ju'er, who was standing at the side, "Tell the kitchen to stew more supplements for Miss."

Ju'er hurriedly squatted down to receive the order, "This servant will instruct the kitchen right away." As she spoke, Ju'er headed for the kitchen.

Liang Shibai was slightly afraid of her, so he looked at her with a pained expression and said, "It's important to train your body, but you can't get tired because of it, do you understand?"

Liang Shibai's caring words moved Sihan. Other than not allowing her to leave the Liang Manor on her own and force her to marry a man with power and status, he was rather concerned about her. However, this little bit of concern was built on his interests. Even so, she still felt a bit of fatherly love from Liang Shibai. This was extremely precious to a modern orphan like her.

Sihan nodded slightly. "Thank you, Father."

Liang Shibai gently patted Sihan on the shoulder and left the garden in large strides.
