In the lush courtyard.

Lu Yingxue had just returned from outside. Hanqiu walked forward and carefully untied her cloak and brushed away the snow on her head.

That great villain Xiao Churan had been deeply poisoned and was obviously seriously ill. He had missed several morning court sessions in a row. Today, Emperor Mingde asked the emperor's exclusive imperial physician to see him.

Whoever looks at it will know, and the more you look, the worse it gets.

Alas, it's all this guy's fault for being stubborn. He offended the genius doctor's disciple but refused to bow his head. Well, then don't bow your head. He'll feel relieved when his body is cool!

Anyway, she dug the person out from her past life's memory and even used up her own face, so she had done her best. It was Xiao Churan herself who was not up to the mark!

"Miss, the Sixth Prince's residence has sent a gift."

Hanqiu hung the cloak on the screen and poured a cup of hot ginger tea for his young lady to dispel the cold.

"Xiao Hengguang?" Lu Yingxue paused and looked up in confusion, "Shouldn't we send the sick kid?"

She is just a chess piece, isn't that what true love is?

Hanqiu explained:

"It was sent by Concubine Feng, who said she wanted to share the good news of her pregnancy with you."

"It's not like I got her pregnant, what's there to share?"

Lu Yingxue was speechless. After a moment's thought, she seemed to understand what Feng Zhuzhu meant, and ordered:

"Choose a few pieces of the satin that my eldest brother sent that are suitable and not too outstanding as a return gift."

The queen still has to pretend to be dignified. After all, the annulment is still in progress, so she must be careful to avoid being discovered and ruining things.

That little sickly kid...

I don’t know what will happen after I get the news.

"I'll go to Chenxiangyuan later."

"Miss, where are you going and what are you doing? Have you forgotten what Miss Second did to you before? Your injuries haven't healed yet!"

"Okay, I know my limits."

Lu Yingxue placed her hand on Hanqiu's shoulder and gave her a soothing look.

……

It was already mid-afternoon, and Baizhi thoughtfully served tea and dessert to her young lady.

The milk cake made from cow's milk, rice flour and dried osmanthus is nutritious and easy to digest. The steamed cake made from fresh orange peel, eggs and flour is soft and sweet.

The warm room is very large, with a semi-open space of 20 square meters on one side adjacent to the small garden.

There are many bonsai flowers and plants arranged against the wall, which looks like a small forest growing out of the ancient building, complementing the small garden next to it.

Two ropes are lowered from a high beam and connected to a huanghuali wood bench with a backrest, forming an ingeniously designed swing.

Lu Ningshuang took off her embroidered shoes, hugged her knees and huddled on the swing, swinging gently by controlling her center of gravity while throwing the snacks she had taken a bite of to feed the wolf.

Lu Jin is very flexible and has an active mind.

It was something that could be solved by just squatting on the ground and opening his mouth, but he had to run back and forth with his tongue sticking out, tempting Lu Ningshuang to throw the pastry high and far, and then show off his extraordinary jumping skills.

I saw it push its hind legs on a large rock used for landscaping, and its body bent backwards in the air, forming a powerful bow.

Then he opened his mouth to catch the snack, and in the process of rotating his body 180 degrees, he landed on the ground and returned to his reverse dog pose.

"Hahaha, owoo~~"

Lu Jin: ?? ˊ?ˋ??

After both plates of snacks were finished, Lu Ningshuang clapped her hands and said sarcastically:

"Hey, when did sister come?

My place has always been remote, and it is probably located outside the State of Qi. After all, my sister rarely comes here for a year or two.

Could it be that something big and happy happened today that was worth your sister traveling thousands of miles to see me?"

She turned around and scolded Bai Zhi:

"How can you be a maid? You didn't even inform me that my sister was coming? Can you bear the responsibility for neglecting her?"

"It is my fault that I did not do my job properly. Please punish me, young lady!"

Bai Zhi immediately knelt down to admit her mistake and cooperated with her mistress in the play.

Lu Yingxue had a gloomy face after being left out for a long time. I still hate her!

"You speak so smoothly, you seem to be in good spirits! Next time don't try to commit suicide and make the whole family restless!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he said quickly:

"It's been so long, month after month, aren't you tired of it? If you really want to die, remember to find a secluded place next time and put an end to it all!"

But as soon as I said this, a trace of regret welled up in my heart.

She had originally thought that her uncle would bring Fu Nanjia over in a while, and considering that the sickly girl had just been bullied, she was worried that she might be upset, so she came to keep her company.

Of course, she did this for the sake of the elders!

"Miss! How can you say that about my young lady?"

Bai Zhi jumped out and cursed, her fingers almost poking Lu Yingxue's face.

As she moved, the four guards hiding nearby and Fuling also moved, and in a blink of an eye, there were five more people in the corridor.

Lu Yingxue no longer felt any guilt.

"Am I wrong, you annoying guy?"

She stared at the girl straightly with such a bad attitude.

Lu Ningshuang raised her hand and asked everyone to leave. When she looked up again, her eyes were full of tears.

Lu Jin noticed his master's sadness, squatted next to the swing, and turned his head to bare his teeth at Lu Yingxue from time to time.

“Woo…woo…ah…”

Lu Ningshuang touched the wolf's head, let down her skirt, stepped barefoot on the ground, stared at Lu Yingxue quietly with her tearful eyes, and approached her step by step.

Lu Yingxue felt guilty when being stared at and stepped back involuntarily.

The last pillar made of huanghuali wood blocked her steps.

Lu Ningshuang raised her hand and supported it on Lu Yingxue's neck.

"So, sister came to see if I'm dead or not?"

She took Lu Yingxue's right hand expressionlessly and pressed it against her chest, tears flowing slowly like a stream in a valley.

"Sister, why are you so cruel?

You feel it, and it is broken into pieces by you."

The girl's hands were bone-chillingly cold, and her light brown eyes held a dead wilderness.

Even under the thin clothes, there was not much warmth in the body.

If it weren't for the faint heartbeat beneath her palm, Lu Yingxue would have thought that there was a well-preserved corpse standing in front of her.

"You...stay away from me."

She turned her face away, stiffly and defiantly.

"What if I didn't?"

The girl tilted her head and moved closer, a hint of frightening paranoia showing at the corners of her crimson eyes.

Their heartbeats overlapped.

As Lu Yingxue's pupils suddenly dilated, the girl bit her cheek, and Lu Yingxue instantly imagined herself as an apple.

"Are you born in the year of the dog?!"

Lu Yingxue's eyebrows were raised, and she pushed the girl in front of her angrily, but she hugged her waist and cried in grievance.

"Why can others do it but I can't? Can others kiss you like me?"

"What do you mean by others'?"

Lu Yingxue was puzzled.

The girl screamed and cried bitterly.

"You just dislike me! You dislike me because I'm a sickly person, smelling of medicine! Not as handsome as other brothers, not as fragrant as other sisters~~"

Lu Yingxue laughed angrily:

"What do you mean by brother and sister? What are you talking about? Do you think my reputation isn't bad enough? That time at Fanghua Garden, you have already portrayed me as a vicious elder sister who harmed her siblings!"
