The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness
Chapter 22 The life-saving grace must be repaid, but the revenge for the murder of the wife must als
Chen Xiang didn't understand why, but she was still grateful, "I understand. I will definitely follow the Second Miss's instructions."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main courtyard's wing.
Chen Xiang led the master and servant into the tidied room and said with a gentle smile:
"Miss, please change your clothes and rest here. This room is reserved for young ladies by my princess, and it is always cleaned. You are the first one to move in.
Second Miss, you can rest in peace. No one will come in. It is much more comfortable than the guest room."
"Thank you Miss Chenxiang."
Baizhi sent Chenxiang to the door of the room, and Lu Ningshuang walked to the bed with heavy steps to rest.
She had a headache and a stuffy chest, but it wasn't caused by the aphrodisiac.
After a long while, Fuling came running over angrily. When she saw the master and servant, her expression changed instantly and she felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.
"What happened?"
Bai Zhi quickly stepped forward and wiped her tears. "Where is the young lady's clothes? Have you got them?"
Fuling's nostrils twitched rapidly, as if she was angry and smoke was coming out, but tears kept falling from her eyes. She spoke rapidly:
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! How can there be such unreasonable people in the world? They were so blind that they poured the wine on the lady's clothes, and they still forced me to apologize!
If I wasn't worried about causing trouble for the young lady and our family, how could I have endured it? They'd better turn a blind eye to it at night, and I will make them pay!"
"Well, it's better to save some trouble than to worry about it. There will be plenty of opportunities to retaliate. The young lady is the most important thing now.
By the way, you said that wine was splashed on her. Where are the two sets of clothes of the young lady? Are they both soiled?"
Bai Zhi's face was full of worry, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Fuling thankfully shook off the bundle and said:
"Luckily, sister, you were worried about the rain, so you wrapped the clothes with a layer of waterproof cloth when you packed them, so the clothes are clean now!"
"Okay, I'll help the young lady change her clothes, and you stay nearby. My heart is beating a little fast, and I'm afraid the banquet will not be peaceful."

Outside the Anxiang Garden, Jiang Shuo, who arrived late, said goodbye to someone.
"Brother Zhiqing, I won't accompany you any longer. I have to go find my little sister Shuang."
The other party smiled slightly and urged:
"Go quickly! You've been nagging since you came back. You finally got grace, why don't you catch him now?"
The man stopped outside the archway and watched Jiang Shuo leave. He was wearing a cloud-blue robe that had been washed several times, and he exuded the calmness of a man who had seen a lot.
He walked aimlessly in the princess's mansion, nodded to people he knew, and then continued walking alone.
Zhiqing is Shen Qian's courtesy name, which is taken from "transcend inaction to reach the ultimate purity, and be the neighbor of Taichu".
Since his beloved wife passed away, he has seen through the world.
Money, power, and fame may seem fleeting, but they are bubbles that will burst at the slightest touch.
"Ah Qian, is it really you?"
A drunkard in gorgeous clothes suddenly jumped out from the bamboo forest, knocking him off balance.
Shen Qian frowned and was about to wave the man away when he unexpectedly found that the man's face was very familiar.
"Mr. Shangguan?"
The distant address made the drunk Shangguan Lingyun regain some clarity, but years of lovesickness and depression made him decide to drink and show his true feelings.
"Ah Qian, A Qian, I like you, and you like me too, right?"
He closed his eyes tightly, hugged Shen Qian and kissed him forcefully.
Shen Qian was so disgusted that he kicked the man away, his voice changing with anger.
"Shangguan Lingyun, are you crazy? You are the son of a minister, the future princess's husband, why are you making fun of me, a mere cabinet reader?
Don't worry, I will remember the kindness of the Shangguan family and will definitely find a way to repay them. Why do you have to humiliate me like this?"
"Making fun of you? Why would I make fun of you?"
Shangguan Lingyun fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out. His handsome face turned red due to the alcohol, and there was a dark circle under his eyes, showing a full sense of decadence.
"I don't know if you still remember, but in order to make me better than my older brother, my mother was very strict with me and never spoke to me kindly.
When I was eleven years old, I ran away secretly to prove that she really loved me. It turned out that there was a thunderstorm at night. I was scared to death hiding in a dilapidated temple in the deserted mountains. It was you who found me first.
You carried me down the mountain in the heavy rain, and your ribs were broken because the road was slippery, but you never left me. Later, when I woke up from the bed, the first thing I saw was you.
I heard from the servants that my parents had an argument during the days when I was unconscious. They only glanced at me briefly and left. It was you who stayed by my side without taking off your clothes. "
He staggered to his feet and said stubbornly:
"From then on, I understood that you were the only one in the world who loved me the most and cared about me! It was fate that made us miss each other!"
Shen Qian never expected that his past as a dependent would be misinterpreted by Shangguan Lingyun. He felt sad, disgusted, angry, and filled with endless regret.
He suppressed his anger and explained:
"At that time, I was just your servant. Your father kept me for my grandfather's sake and gave me a place to stay. I have always been grateful.
But the other people in the Shangguan family thought I was a trouble and a burden, especially your mother, who tried every means to drive me away.
I always remember that my grandfather asked me to live well. In order to stay, I conscientiously did what a book boy should do and completed every task to perfection.
That time you ran away, no one could find you anywhere, and the master and the mistress wanted to eat me up!
At that moment, I seemed to foresee my fate. If I can't find you, the legitimate young master, I'm afraid I will be buried with you!"
Shen Qian omitted many details. Even though the Shangguan family became increasingly harsh on him after that, he never hated them.
Because taking in a criminal like him was already a huge risk.
After a few more years, the Shen family was finally cleared of all injustice. He left the Shangguan family and returned to his ancestral home to study hard, hoping to restore the glory of the Shen family.
He was gone for several years and only passed the palace examination two years ago. He was appointed by His Majesty as a reader in the cabinet.
"To me, you are just the child of my benefactor, the young master I once served. There is no other affection between you and me."
Shangguan Lingyun was not willing to believe Shen Qian's words at all. He kept going crazy and told Shen Qian to give it a try. Only after trying would he know how good he was.
Shen Qian was so disgusted that he hurried to leave, but was stopped by the secret revealed by Shangguan Lingyun.
"What did you say?"
He turned his head back and grabbed Shangguan Lingyun's neck tightly, his eyes were bloodshot and his low, hoarse voice sounded like it came from hell.
Shangguan Lingyun laughed resentfully:
"I bribed the doctor so that he would delay the administration of the medicine for a little while each time. Bu Yueshan was dragged to death like this, and you foolishly thought that she was suffering from severe acclimatization. Hahahahahaha...
Ah Qian, there is no obstacle between us! No, there is also the Ninth Princess. As long as you are willing to be with me, I will get rid of her! "
"Mad man! Mad man! How dare you!"
Shen Qian threw Shangguan Lingyun to the ground and punched him in the face, wishing he could bury him with him immediately.
Bu Yueshan, Shen Qian's late wife.
During the years when he studied hard, she had always taken good care of his daily life, and while preparing for the exams, he earned money to support his family by copying books and selling paintings, which was a method despised by scholars.
Although their life was poor, they were harmonious and loving.
Now, it's ruined like this?
Or it’s because of what I did back then.
If he could go back in time, he would rather not have found Shangguan Lingyun and the servant Shen Qian was beaten to death by the master and his mistress.
In the end, Shen Qian spared Shangguan Lingyun's life.
He let go of the drunk man and turned away coldly, "From now on, all the kindness the Shangguan family has shown me will be wiped out!"
The life-saving grace must be repaid, but the revenge for the murder of my wife must also be avenged!
Shangguan Lingyun, just wait!
