Although Shen Nanzhi was unwilling to think in this direction, but after these few confrontations, based on her understanding of this man, he should know that she still had the tracking incense on her body, so he deliberately led her to do this!

When Shen Nanzhi thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone.

It was not just because of the deep frustration and powerlessness she felt about her current situation, but more because of this person's understanding of her, which made her feel scared.

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen? Would you like to eat something?"

Perhaps Shen Nanzhi was thinking too deeply, and Yuewu had to call her twice before she came back to her senses.

Seeing Yuewu had already handed her the sugar-roasted chestnuts, Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "No, I don't have much appetite."

Yuewu wrapped the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts with some regret, turned her head and blinked her innocent big eyes to look at Shen Nanzhi: "What else does Miss Shen want to eat? I'll ask my subordinates to find it for Miss Shen. Your health is important, Miss Shen, you must not treat yourself badly."

Shen Nanzhi understood the reason, but she really didn't want to eat anything at the moment.

"What about your son?"

Yuewu shook her head: "The young master is out, and I don't know where he went. If Miss Shen needs to see him, I will send someone to tell him."

Shen Nanzhi wished he was not here at this moment.

Not only could she take a breath, but she could also ask Yuewu a few more questions.

So, she shook her head and said indifferently: "Nothing, I just asked casually. By the way, Qin Suyi won't come again, right?"

Speaking of Qin Suyi, Shen Nanzhi deliberately frowned, looking frightened.

Seeing this, Yue Wu quickly poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Shen, she dare not disobey the young master's words, and she was injured so badly today that she might have difficulty getting out of bed in a short period of time, and it is impossible for her to do it again."

Shen Nanzhi tilted his head and looked at Yuewu, puzzled: "Since she dared not disobey your master, then why did she want to kill me when your master was not around even though he said he could not touch me?"

"Well..." Yue Wu raised her hand and scratched her head, and said with difficulty: "I can't say it, but I can be sure that the young master has no ill will towards Miss Shen. Sometimes he can't help himself."

No malicious intent.

Involuntarily.

Shen Nanzhi found it incredible to use such words on the mean and evil Xiao Yanchu. She couldn't help but sneered, "I only saw his full malice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sigh coming from the door.

Xiao Yanchu, dressed in white, stood by the door, looking at Shen Nanzhi with a pair of black eyes, sighing, "I didn't realize that Miss Shen would also be the kind of person who would say bad things about others behind their backs."

This person always came quietly every time, and Shen Nanzhi didn't notice it at all.

Hearing his sarcasm, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but glare at him and said sharply, "How good can it be for you to eavesdrop on other people's conversations outside the door?"

The moment their eyes met, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a lot, causing Yuewu to shiver.

She also sensed the disharmony between the two, but Yuewu had to bite the bullet and ask, "Sir, would you like to have lunch together at noon? I will ask the kitchen to prepare it."

Xiao Yanchu smiled faintly: "No need."

He raised his hand and threw a small porcelain bottle to Yuewu, and ordered: "Use this to treat the wound."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. But after taking two steps, he turned back and glanced at Yuewu, who was looking at his bandaged palm in confusion, and reminded her, "Apply some medicine to her by the way."

Hearing this, Yuewu subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction that Xiao Yanchu had just glanced at, and happened to see a scratch on the back of Shen Nanzhi's hand.

The wound didn't look deep. It was probably caused by an accidental scratch when going down the stairs. The blood on it had dried up.

If Xiao Yanchu hadn't reminded her, even Yue Wu wouldn't have noticed it.

Only then did Yue Wu realize that this was not the medicine for her, but the medicine for Shen Nanzhi.

"Okay, don't worry, sir."

Yuewu promised, and turned to treat Shen Nanzhi's wound, muttering: "Young Master is so considerate to Miss Shen, even I didn't notice it."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows.

She herself didn't know where she was scratched. The situation was critical at that time, and the pain in her lungs was even worse. How could she care about such a minor injury?

She didn't even feel the need to deal with it.

Xiao Yanchu's little trick of winning people's hearts can only fool a silly girl like Yuewu.

Shen Nanzhi did not comment.

Doctor Luo came back soon. After checking Shen Nanzhi's pulse, he changed the medicine for Shen Nanzhi just as Yuewu said.

I don’t know if he was really busy or just didn’t want to confront Shen Nanzhi, but Shen Nanzhi didn’t see Xiao Yanchu for the next two days.

Her body had recovered a lot, but she still couldn't use much strength, and she didn't dare to try to use kung fu on her own.

After all, Dr. Luo is not Lu Pianpian, who will be completely open to her.

Because of their hostile stance, Shen Nanzhi couldn't fully trust him.

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi was also afraid that his body, which had just recovered a little, could not bear it, and any rash effort would only result in more harm than good.

There was no way to escape at the moment, so she decided to conserve her strength and wait and see what would happen.

Next, it will depend on who will lose patience first, Xiao Yanchu or the group behind Qin Suyi.

When she had nothing to do, Shen Nanzhi asked Yuewu for the bandage and started embroidering a purse.

Lu Pianpian reminded her before that Xiao Chuyun's birthday was coming, and her mother kept urging her to practice embroidery, so Shen Nanzhi thought about embroidering a purse for him.

But her embroidery skills were really poor. Even though she had practiced countless times, the things she embroidered were still crooked and unsightly.

It was Lu Pianpian who encouraged her and said that the thought was what mattered most, so Shen Nanzhi decided to go ahead and embroider.

But a purse would definitely not work. She was afraid that Xiao Chuyun would become a laughing stock among the civil and military officials in the court after wearing it. Shen Nanzhi decided to embroider a handkerchief instead.

At least if you keep it with you, it won't be easily seen by outsiders, so you don't have to worry about being embarrassed.

It’s a pity that just after he started, the person was kidnapped by that damned Xiao Yanchu.

I don’t know if she can get away before April 8th.

With nothing else to do, Shen Nanzhi picked up the embroidery needle again.

She was embroidering the key part when she suddenly heard someone behind her say, "What is this thing you are embroidering?"

Shen Nanzhi was startled and her hand moved incorrectly, so the embroidery needle immediately pierced her fingertips and a blood drop came out. The pain made Shen Nanzhi gasp.

She turned around and looked at Xiao Yanchu, the instigator, unhappily. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "If you don't need your eyes, you can dig them out. What do you mean by a lump? These are plum blossoms! Plum blossoms! Can't you see it?"

Before she started sewing, Shen Nanzhi thought of many patterns. Mandarin ducks... seemed too intimate and ambiguous, so she was embarrassed. Patterns like peonies were not suitable for Xiao Chuyun. After much deliberation, Shen Nanzhi finally chose plum blossoms.

He gave her a plum blossom hairpin, and she gave him a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms.

Moreover, the style of plum blossom is not complicated and easy to use.

Even if her embroidery skills were not good, she could still embroider such a simple pattern. But when it reached this person's mouth, it became a lump.

Pinching the aching fingertips, Shen Nanzhi wished she could poke him a few more times with the embroidery needle.

But this tactless idiot deliberately picked up her hand and looked her up and down before looking at Shen Nanzhi seriously and apologizing sincerely, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that about Yuewu's wild geese. Compared to Miss Shen's plum blossoms, Yuewu's wild geese are simply the best embroidery."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She raised her hand to grab it, but Xiao Yanchu turned his ankle and nimbly avoided Shen Nanzhi's hand. He sat down calmly opposite her and asked her curiously, "I really don't understand why Miss Shen is so upset that she would use such a thing to torture other people's eyes."

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Nanzhi raised his hand, grabbed the bamboo basket next to him and threw it at him.

"Xiao Yanchu!"

Shen Nanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "No one asked you to watch it!"

Of course, her strength was not enough to hit Xiao Yanchu. Before it could reach him, she was sent back intact by a burst of energy he casually sent out, and even faster and more accurately.

If Shen Nanzhi hadn't reacted in time, the basket full of tricks would have hit her in the face.

Seeing that she caught it steadily, Xiao Yanchu smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Shen is feeling much better now."

Shen Nanzhi threw the bamboo basket away and said, "Thanks to you, I won't die for the time being."

Xiao Yanchu smiled and waved towards Shen Nanzhi: "Miss Shen has the leisure to embroider flowers. I thought Miss Shen was living well here."

Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's right. If you hadn't shown up, my life here would have been much better."

As she said that, she spread out her hands and said unceremoniously: "Give it back to me!"

Xiao Yanchu turned the embroidery on his hand and said, "It's just a bunch of... oh no, it's a plum blossom. What's so precious about it? Could it be that Miss Shen is planning to embroider this for her lover?"

When he said the second half of the sentence, Xiao Yanchu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was actually a smile in his black eyes that matched the fox mask on his face very well.

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi met the teasing in his eyes and said frankly: "Yes, it's given to my future husband. Do you want to grab it too?"

At this point, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Or do you also have some shameful thoughts about me?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yanchu seemed to be burned by these words, and quickly threw his hand towards Shen Nanzhi.

His eyes instantly became cold and distant, and he sneered, "Miss Shen thinks highly of me."

Shen Nanzhi successfully got the bandage back, and of course she didn't bother to care about the sarcasm in his words.

She put away the last two stitches and took the handkerchief off.

Seeing Xiao Yanchu still staring at him coldly, Shen Nanzhi blinked and said, "Could it be that I hit the nail on the head and you are angry out of shame?"

Of course Shen Nanzhi knew that this was impossible, and she didn't know why, whether it was verbal or physical closeness, Xiao Yanchu was extremely resistant to her.

But when Shen Nanzhi saw Xiao Yanchu being humiliated or angry, he felt very happy.

But she forgot that Xiao Yanchu was not someone who would suffer a loss.

After his initial anger passed, he suddenly smiled at Shen Nanzhi, and a cunning light flashed in his black eyes.

Before Shen Nanzhi could come back to his senses, he heard him laughing and said, "After being reminded by Miss Shen, I suddenly feel that marrying Miss Shen is not a bad idea."

"For me, being able to make peace with the Shen family and gain their support, and for the Shen family, being able to use the marriage to consolidate their future position, is simply a win-win situation."

Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. She pointed to the traces of Qin Suyi's fight with Yuewu on the door frame and said with a smile, "Are you sure? It seems to me that you can't make the decision on your own."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanchu's smile did not diminish: "Whether you can make the decision or not, Miss Shen will know after trying it."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over the plum blossom handkerchief that Shen Nanzhi was folding, and he said with undisguised disdain in his tone: "What's the good of marrying Xiao Chuyun? Miss Shen, you must have heard those rumors outside, right? Could it be that Miss Shen really likes a cripple like that?"

Especially when he said the last two words, his tone was even more sarcastic.

Shen Nanzhi put away the handkerchief and glared at him unhappily: "So what? In my opinion, you are not even as good as the prince's toes."

As soon as he finished speaking, tiny starlight seemed to flash across Xiao Yanchu's originally cold black eyes.

It was just a fleeting moment and Shen Nanzhi didn't see it.

When she looked up, she could only see Xiao Yanchu's half-smiley eyes: "So, Miss Shen has seen the prince's toes?"

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

It was just a metaphor, but this man insisted on using it to set a trap for her. Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to argue with him and simply turned away.

Xiao Yanchu just smiled and said, "I'm fine too. Miss Shen, are you really not considering it? If things work out in the future, I will promise you the position of the Supreme Woman. What Xiao Chuyun can give you, I can also give you. What Xiao Chuyun can't give you, I can also give you."

When he said the last sentence, Xiao Yanchu's eyes rolled across Shen Nanzhi's face, from her neck to her breasts.

Being glanced at by that kind of eyes, Shen Nanzhi felt as if his whole body was scalded by boiling water.

Embarrassment and shame instantly surged into her heart, causing the temperature on her face to rise instantly.

"You are shameless!"

Shen Nanzhi grabbed the basket and smashed it towards Xiao Yanchu's head.

This time, Xiao Chuyun did not sweep the bamboo basket away. He raised his hand and caught the bamboo basket steadily. Then he looked up at Shen Nanzhi and said, "I can't tell that Miss Shen cares about Xiao Chuyun so much."

Shen Nanzhi did not refute this point. She looked at Xiao Yanchu coldly: "You have gone around in circles like this, what exactly do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanchu put down the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Isn't Miss Shen thinking about Xiao Chuyun? I'll take you to find him now, okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat.
