boom!

There was thunder and rain at night. Dark clouds pressed down over the prosperous and wealthy Shangjing City. The clouds brought heavy rain. The downpour hit the paper umbrellas of the night patrol guards with crackling sounds.

Accompanied by thunder and lightning, the frightened people's hands trembled and the lamp fell out, and the faint candlelight instantly fell into a ball of paper pulp.

Chu Yunyu woke up from his sleep. He sat up, and the woman beside him was woken up by him. She said in a daze, "Sir, you have to get up to go to the toilet."

Chu Yunyu stared at the square wooden window. White light flickered, water fell diagonally, and the rain was heavy. He asked in a low voice, "Did you hear any sound?"

Song Gui was wearing a pink mandarin duck bellyband, revealing her round shoulders. She shook her head when she heard this, "What did you hear, young master?"

"The sound of a scroll falling to the ground."

Boom——!

Black clouds were rolling in, and on the deserted official road, a low-key yellow cloth carriage was speeding past. The ruts of the wheel created two splashes of water, like dark white lightning falling from the sky.

There were bursts of thunder and rain, the day and night were reversed, and it was as dark as dusk. Qiaoyu yawned as she opened the door. The damp and cold air hit her face, making her shiver unconsciously.

"what?"

In the dim rain, an elegant carriage stopped in front of the door. The carriage driver with a straw raincoat saw Qiaoyu and turned around and said something to the carriage.

After a while, a large yellow umbrella was unfolded, and a woman in gorgeous and elegant clothes stepped down from the carriage. She moved slowly, and muddy water stains stained the uppers of her shoes embroidered with intricate patterns.

Qiao Yu bowed and saluted, "This servant greets Madam Shen."

Nie Yuqing smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

"Miss Qiaoyu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more beautiful than ever."

"Madam, you are so kind."

"Your young lady is awake now. I want to see her."

Qiaoyu said, "The young lady is ill and needs to stay in bed and not see any visitors."

Nie Yuqing frowned, "It's so serious."

"I came here today to invite Doctor Ming to my husband's birthday party, but I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence..."

She sighed and said,

"In that case, can you let me meet her..."

As if she was afraid that Qiaoyu might misunderstand her, she explained, "She is one of the few good friends I have in this imperial city, but we haven't been able to meet for a long time. Now that she is sick, I am really worried..."

"I won't disturb Amin's rest. Just take a look from a distance."

Qiaoyu frowned and looked embarrassed.

A voice suddenly broke in.

"I don't dare let anyone see it. Could it be that my sister is pretending to be sick to deceive people?"

Under the broad umbrella, Chu Yingxue came in gorgeous clothes. When she saw Nie Yuqing, she smiled sweetly, "Xue'er greets Madam Shen. I wonder what Madam Shen wants to see you about? Maybe Xue'er can do it for you."

Nie Yuqing didn't know her. She was straightforward and sensitive. She was obviously wary and cautious when dealing with strangers. "No need."

Chu Yingxue was embarrassed and cursed inwardly for not knowing what was good for her. She turned to Qiaoyu and said, "What? You are the uncle of the emperor and the wife of the Marquis of Guangxin, but you can't even see your sister? You let us wait outside in the heavy rain? This is so rude."

Qiaoyu secretly grinned, she was good at showing off, "Cousin, it's just past the hour of Mao, my young lady is seriously ill and hasn't woken up yet"

"You can't call her if she's not awake." Chu Yingxue said as a matter of course, "Are you going to let us wait for her in the rain? I'm pregnant, hot and cold, can she handle it?"

Qiaoyu bit her cheek and forced herself to smile. "My dear cousin, you are very delicate, but I really can't get up. If you have something important to do, you can come back in two days."

Chu Yingxue mocked with disdain, "Two days later? My eldest brother is getting married the day after tomorrow, and it's such a coincidence that she got sick. As a younger sister, she didn't go back to the mansion to help, but is still enjoying herself outside. Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Miss...is seriously ill."

"Serious illness? Who are you kidding? I was full of energy and challenged you in Yongchun Palace yesterday, and now I'm seriously ill?"

"Could it be that he has done something wrong and is afraid to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so he pretends to be sick?"

The harsh ending sound dragged out, like the domineering scorpion spirit in the picture book. This lowly maid stopped her, there must be something fishy, ​​Chu Yingxue stared at Qiaoyu closely.

Nie Yu didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Yizhao, so he said, "Since Miss Chu is seriously ill and can't come, I will come to visit you another day. I hope Miss Qiaoyu can convey my feelings..."

"Mrs. Shen, please stay."

Huaichun walked out quickly, bowed to the two, and said with a graceful smile, "Since the guests have come, it is unreasonable for the host to not see them. It's just that my young lady was injured the day before yesterday and was frightened yesterday. She is indeed seriously ill and can't get up."

"If Madam Shen and Miss Biao want to see me, they can only follow me to the inner courtyard."

The maids explained one by one, which made them seem aggressive. Nie Yuqing raised her hand and said, "Don't force it."

"No need to force it." Huaichun's eyes fell on Chu Yingxue and he smiled, "If I don't let Madam Shen see it today, I'm afraid that the false guilt will fall on my young lady's head."

Chu Yingxue's eyes sternly said, "You little bastard, how dare you mock me!"

Huaichun bowed his head, "I dare not, both of you please."

"you…!"

"okay!"

Nie Yuqing looked at Chu Yingxue unhappily, "If you still want to watch, shut up. If you don't want to watch, leave. But if a rumor gets out here, don't blame the Shen family for not giving Prince Qi face!"

The Duke of Chu blamed his own daughter just because of this man? He was really crazy.

Her look of disgust fell into Chu Yingxue's eyes, making her so angry that she was fuming. Looking at Nie Yuqing's back, she spat fiercely, calling him a lowly thing that was used by everyone.

Chu Yingxue twisted her handkerchief tightly and followed closely.

In the cramped and dim inner room, a precious Shu embroidery partition stood in four folds. A woman was lying on her side on a wooden bed, with the moonlight cast by a scented gauze hanging on her body and a heavy brocade quilt pressing down on her body, revealing only the pale outline of her profile.

Nie Yuqing had a worried look between his brows. It was not good for him to be so afraid of the cold and weak.

The bitter and sour smell was strong. Chu Yingxue raised her hand to fan herself. The foul smell of medicine almost made her vomit. She covered her stomach, rolled her eyes slightly, and shouted inside, "I heard that my sister was sick, so Xueer came to visit!"

As soon as the sound was heard, a loud thunder exploded.

"what…"

Chu Yingxue screamed in fear. Huaichun and the others glared at her in dissatisfaction. White lightning struck her faces. The gloomy and cramped room suddenly became like the eerie and terrifying underworld.

The four-sided Hades had green faces and fangs. Chu Yingxue was somewhat confused and dazed, as if she was staggering on a high rope between cliffs, with a bottomless abyss beneath her feet...

"Cousin, my lady asks you to get out of here."

Huaichun's voice pulled Chu Yingxue back to her senses. She suddenly woke up and saw Huaichun looking at her with a mocking expression.

"Didn't you hear me, cousin? My lady told you to get out!"

Chu Yingxue was flustered and her ears were filled with noise. She really didn’t hear anything…

Looking up, she saw that the moon-shadow gauze curtain behind the screen had fallen, and the air was foggy. The intermittent thunder was still rumbling, frightening her to the point of dizziness. She pointed at Huaichun, called her a bitch, and ran away.

A trace of disgust flashed across Nie Yuqing's eyes. This man was rude and disrespectful, even more annoying than Shen Zheng's niece.

After seeing the two off, Qiaoyu and Huaichun looked at each other and walked into the inner room. Qiaoyu lifted the curtain and poked the person under the quilt, "Hey, Miss Chang, get up."

"Ah! Where are you touching?"

The person being hit sat up with a howl, and Chang Nian looked at Qiao Yu in horror, "What are you poking at?"
