I said awkwardly: "Well... it's hard to say at the moment, but I don't have any intention of becoming your concubine."

Sen Ying opened her eyes wide in surprise, then lowered them and said, "Forget it, I won't ask you. I can't even say whether I can get married, why should I worry about you."

I hugged her shoulders, she struggled slightly, turned her head away and stopped moving.

I said softly, "My dear sister, don't talk about getting married for now. I actually feel that I am the most reliable. I have money, I can buy whatever I want to eat, and I can make whatever I want to wear. Isn't this a happy life? If you are happy in your heart, let others say whatever they want. Over time, she will see that you don't respond to anything she says, and she will blame herself for being boring, so she will naturally stop talking. Your own happiness cannot be taken away by anyone. I know that you are suffering, wronged and angry in your heart, but you don't have to rush to let these emotions dissipate immediately, take it step by step, and relax yourself every day. You don't have to try hard to drive it away. When the emotions come, just recite them silently, reminding yourself that the matter has passed and the emotions will pass. Wait until it becomes boring and dissipates by itself."

The warbler turned around, looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked, "Will it disappear?"

I patted her shoulder and said, "Yes, if not in the near future, sooner or later it will happen. You are a strong-willed person, don't lose to it, but don't fight it to exhaustion. If you can win, then fight, if you can't, then do nothing and wait for it to pass. You are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you, and naturally your blessings will be waiting for you in the future."

She closed her eyes and whispered, "I just hate that I don't have the power to shut up everyone who was there that day."

I shook her shoulders and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, but our people will definitely not tell anyone. If our people don't tell anyone, then the people in Tushan Mansion won't know. The people from Xuan will not come to Tushan Mansion to gossip about it either. If you can't hear it, just pretend they didn't say it."

She nodded, as if she thought it made sense. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she grabbed my hand and said hastily, "Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui is not from Tushan Mansion..."

I stroked her hand and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Hui is a well-educated child, he will never tell anyone. Even if he wants to tell, he doesn't know anyone in the mansion except Xiao Wei, and he doesn't dare to go out. Who can he tell? Don't worry."

Sen Ying sighed deeply, as if she was letting out all the anger in her chest. Then she looked at me and said, "Sister, I was upset just now and said something unpleasant. Please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you."

After saying this, she stood up and was about to bow.

I quickly supported her and said, "Oh, no! We usually pay our respects to this master and that lady, aren't we doing that often enough? There's no need to pay our respects to each other in private. I just saw that you were so unhappy all day long, and I felt bad for you, so I took this opportunity to come and talk you through it. I hope you can come to your senses and live your life as usual."

Senying smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. Sister, it's much warmer in the room. Can I bandage you?"

I turned around and untied my clothes, saying, "Thank you. I can't see, so I can't tie it properly. I tied it all in a mess these past few days, and it bulged in my clothes. It moved when I walked, and it was uncomfortable. You are good at it, so you can help me make it smoother."

Senying said "yes", took the gauze and tore off a long strip, which she passed around my neck, passed through my armpits a few times, tied a beautiful knot, and then took out a pair of scissors to cut it.

I touched the smooth gauze and thanked her with a smile: "You are really skillful. Thank you."

She was holding a pair of scissors in her hand. She looked up at me and said, "No, no, it's just a piece of cake."

Seeing that it was late at night, I didn't want to bother her any longer. Seeing that she had talked it out, I felt relieved, said goodbye to her and went back to my room.

Xiaowei had fallen asleep long ago, leaving a burning candle for me. I tiptoed with the candlestick to the outer room and found a bucket of hot water that was still warm, which must have been left for me.

After a quick wash, I also went to bed. But my mind was in a state of confusion. I was worried about my elder brother, wondering if he would be worried if he woke up and couldn't find me. Then I thought about the matter of marrying her. Then I thought about the traitor around Tu Shanjing who leaked the news to Xuanxuan. I wondered how I could set a trap to expose him...

As a result, I tossed and turned in bed like a pancake for most of the night and didn't sleep for many hours. The next day, I was afraid that it would be bad to get up too late in front of others, so I tried my best to get up.

Xiao Wei looked at me after washing her face and said in surprise, "Eh?! Miss, when did you come back yesterday?! Why are your eyes so swollen and have such big dark circles! You have to cheer up when you help the young master get dressed and wash up later."

I gave her a weak smile. I worked before and after the time travel. How come they became princes, princesses, and generals, and could make things happen with a wave of their hands, while I had to work the same? But when I think about how they, as princesses, can't see Tu Shanjing, I feel more balanced. How can it be perfect? ​​Now I have food and clothes, and I can take care of my eyes from time to time. If I were to become Fang Fengyiying or Jin Xuan, who is under Xuanxuan, I might as well be free now. I'd better do some work!

I changed my clothes with my eyes closed, and washed myself up with gritted teeth before I could open my eyes. I asked Xiaowei to help me hastily comb my hair, and then I walked to the door of Tu Shanjing's room yawning.

I knocked on the door, and a pair of light footsteps walked to the door. The door opened, and it was a forest warbler wearing a light green satin shirt and a light yellow frangipani flower on her head.

When she opened the door and saw it was me, she smiled and said, "Good morning, young lady, you are here just in time. I am helping the young master wash his face. Later we will help him dress and comb his hair."

I said hello and walked into the room.

I didn't notice it because I stayed there for too long yesterday, but now when I left and came back, I could smell a fragrance in my nose, elegant yet heavy, lingering and mixed with the warm atmosphere in the house. It made me feel inexplicably familiar and at ease, like the scent in the spring breeze of my hometown.

Tu Shanjing was wearing a moon-white silk dress, with her long hair loose and water dripping from her chin. She was wiping the water off her face with a handkerchief. When she saw me coming, she nodded to me.

For a moment, lines like "A branch of red beauty with dew condensed in fragrance" and "A lotus flower stands tall and pure out of the water" flashed through my mind. I began to understand the ancients a little bit. When faced with a beauty, one naturally has a lot of inspiration and can write endless poems in praise of her.

Seeing me staring at him, he looked at me in confusion. I shook my head to get rid of my messy thoughts, and said with a smile: "Good morning, sir. It's nothing. I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I'm a little distracted."
