Yang sighed softly, and with the help of Liu Xiuzhu, she walked up to Liu Jingya and raised her hand and gently placed it on Liu Jingya's shoulder.
"Good boy, thank you for your help. If you miss your mother, you can come back anytime. If it is not convenient for you to stay at Liu's house, you can also meet outside."
Liu Jingya wiped the tears from her face and looked up at Yang: "Thank you, auntie."
Yang took Liu Jingya's hand and said, "Let's go home first."
Come back home.
When the word "home" was mentioned, Liu Jingya couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
From then on, she had nothing to do with the Liu family, and this was no longer her home.
But when she thought about how the Yang family members were not feeling well after what they had gone through, and how they were still trying to support her, Liu Jingya didn't want them to worry about her, so she quickly wiped away her tears and nodded, "Okay."
The group took Liu Jingya back to the Shen family.
After listening to Liu Jingya's advice, Yang arranged for her to live in Cuizhuxuan, which was closest to Shen Nanzhi. She also personally appointed several capable maids and old women to serve her. It was not until her body could no longer support her that she followed Liu Xiuzhu away after being persuaded by everyone.
Shen Nanzhi sat with Liu Jingya for a while.
Because he had a secret in his heart, when Shen Nanzhi saw Liu Jingya crying for Shen Changan, he felt so guilty that he was speechless.
She really couldn't bear the inner torment, so after telling Liu Jingya to eat something and have a good rest, she almost fled.
When she returned to her own yard, Shen Nanzhi remembered that there was another person named Xiao Chuyun living in her yard.
Moreover, she had made an appointment with him to go to the South City Lantern Festival.
If we rush over now, it will be too late.
After all this trouble, it's already time to light the lanterns. If we rush over now, the lantern festival will be over.
Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that she would go back on her word on Xiao Chuyun's first invitation, and she felt a little ashamed.
Dinner has been prepared in the kitchens of each courtyard.
With Shen Nanzhi's instruction, all other maids and servants in her yard were sent away these days on the grounds that she was in a bad mood and liked quietness, leaving only Qiuyu to serve in the yard.
The stove in the small kitchen was cold and the pots and stoves were idle. Shen Nanzhi guessed that Qiuyu could not handle it alone, but they could not go hungry. Moreover, in order to perform well, the meals of the Shen family, who had been "gloomy" these days, should be light.
Shen Nanzhi was fine, but she must have worried about Lu Pianpian, who couldn't live without meat. Shen Nanzhi had just stepped into the courtyard and was about to ask Zhuifeng to go to the restaurant outside to pack some food and bring it back, when she saw Lu Pianpian lying by the door, looking at her with shining eyes: "Sister Zhizhi, why did you come back just now!"
Shen Nanzhi was startled by her look.
Usually, Lu Pianpian would only show this expression when she saw something delicious.
She was just wondering when she saw Qiu Yu poking her head out from behind Lu Pianpian: "Pianpian, this little greedy cat is waiting for the girl to come back for dinner, and she can't wait any longer."
It turned out that the food was already prepared.
But Shen Nanzhi just saw that the small kitchen was dark, could it be that Qiuyu had someone prepare it in advance?
Shen Nanzhi was just confused when he heard Qiu Yu laugh and say, "Brother Mo Yun went to prepare it early in the morning."
That is what Xiao Chuyun meant.
Shen Nanzhi followed in, and Qiuyu carefully closed the gate to prevent being disturbed.
As soon as Shen Nanzhi entered the room, she saw Xiao Chuyun sitting at the desk reading intelligence and handling official business. Only when he heard her come in did he put down what he was doing and looked over.
At this time, Xiao Chuyun had taken off his mask and returned to his original appearance.
His already handsome appearance, coupled with this outfit that was different from his usual style, gave Shen Nanzhi a refreshing feeling.
He was still wearing the same refined brocade robe, and against the backdrop of the sheep-horn palace lantern, especially with the scroll in his hand, he looked less murderous and more elegant.
Shen Nanzhi was feeling ashamed for breaking the appointment, and before she could figure out how to apologize, she heard Xiao Chuyun gently say, "You've been busy all afternoon, you must be hungry, right? Let's eat first."
As soon as Shen Nanzhi nodded, Lu Pianpian had already found a seat and was ready to sit down, but she was afraid of Xiao Chuyun. Xiao Chuyun didn't nod, and even though she was drooling, Lu Pianpian didn't dare to move her chopsticks.
Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and called Qiuyu, "It's okay. This is an emergency. Let's eat together. You've been hard at work covering for me and the prince these past few days."
Qiu Yu hurriedly said in panic: "Serving the young lady is the duty of this servant."
Qiuyu was still a little reserved, but Lu Pianpian, who had received Shen Nanzhi's instructions, was no longer polite. She pulled Qiuyu over to sit with her, picked up the chopsticks and was about to reach for the braised pig's trotter that she had already set her eyes on, but the moment she suddenly saw Xiao Chuyun's figure, Lu Pianpian subconsciously shrank her neck and retracted the chopsticks that were already reaching for the braised pig's trotter.
Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi personally brought the dish of braised pig's trotters to Lu Pianpian and reminded her, "You can only eat two at most. Your health is more important."
"Sister Zhizhi is the best!"
Lu Pianpian cheered loudly, and then she mustered up the courage to eat.
Seeing this scene, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but look up at Xiao Chuyun, and asked curiously: "Why is Pianpian so afraid of you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "Maybe... I look fiercer?"
"Pfft..."
Lu Pianpian couldn't help it and almost choked on the pig's trotter. Fortunately, Qiuyu, who was standing by, handed her a cup of tea in time and helped her swallow the big mouthful of fat meat.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with this child?"
Of course Lu Pianpian didn't dare to say that she was scared by Xiao Chuyun. She waved her hands repeatedly: "It's nothing, it's nothing. The prince is not fierce at all. I am probably born to be afraid of the prince. Oh, by the way, brother Mo Yun fell again when he stepped over the threshold today. It must be his own carelessness. It's not the prince's fault."
The reason why Mo Yun fell was actually because he was frightened by Xiao Chuyun's words that he would break his legs if he entered Shen Nanzhi's boudoir again. When he was climbing over the wall, he accidentally fell and sprained his muscles.
But Shen Nanzhi didn't know the reason.
And if Lu Pianpian hadn't said it, Shen Nanzhi almost forgot that she saw Mo Yun sneaking towards her on the top floor of the library today. She thought Mo Yun was deliberately playing tricks, but it turned out that he had sprained his leg.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled thud outside the window.
Soon, Mo Yun was heard leaning against the window, muffled and saying, "It's okay, I just accidentally... fell again."
Shen Nanzhi: “…”
Although Mo Yun likes to show off, he is not such an impatient person.
Why do we keep falling?
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but look back at Xiao Chuyun.
But Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "Maybe his legs and feet are not very convenient."
Hearing this, Mo Yun gasped outside the window.
After all, he is one of us. Shen Nanzhi asked with some concern: "Is it really okay?"
Mo Yun waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, my feet are just numb, it will be fine after a while."
After hearing what he said, Shen Nanzhi was relieved, but looking at the table full of food, Lu Pianpian and Qiuyu sat down to eat together. There was no reason for Mo Yun, who was running around with an injured leg, to be hungry, so Shen Nanzhi kindly suggested to Xiao Chuyun: "There is still a lot of food, why not ask Mo Yun to come in and eat together."
Before Xiao Chuyun opened his mouth, Mo Yun outside the window was already jumping up and down as if his tail had been stepped on: "No, no, I'm not hungry, girls, you guys eat first, I'll go guard outside the yard."
Just kidding, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to enter Shen Nanzhi's house again.
At this moment, he didn't even care about the pain in his legs, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing him from behind, and it disappeared in an instant.
Shen Nanzhi was confused by what she saw.
But Xiao Chuyun beside her smiled gently and said, "Never mind him, let's eat first."
While Shen Nanzhi was saying these words, Xiao Chuyun had already put the fish meat with the bones removed in her bowl and peeled the shrimp for her.
Shen Nanzhi was a little embarrassed: "Prince, you eat too, don't worry about me."
Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "I'm not hungry yet."
Shen Nanzhi didn't know how to persuade her anymore. She ate while Xiao Chuyun took care of her silently.
From beginning to end, he didn't pick up his chopsticks himself, but he fed Shen Nanzhi well.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Lu Pianpian, whose stomach was bulging, took the initiative to help Qiuyu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the two of them tactfully retreated.
Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun were the only ones left in the huge room.
The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful just now, but with the departure of Lu Pianpian and Qiuyu, Shen Nanzhi suddenly became nervous.
She thought about the promise she made to Xiao Chuyun to live with her today. It was fine during the day, she could avoid him, but at night...
What can I do with this one bed?
Moreover, even if she and Xiao Chuyun were engaged, they had not yet gotten married, so it was inappropriate for them to live in the same house.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know what Xiao Chuyun's plan was.
She was afraid that she might have misunderstood and was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she asked indirectly, "Is the prince going to sleep?"
Xiao Chuyun sat down in front of the desk and said calmly, "I took a short nap this afternoon, and now I'm not that sleepy. Is Miss Shen sleepy?"
Shen Nanzhi waved her hands repeatedly.
Seeing that Xiao Chuyun had picked up a secret report on the desk and started reading it, Shen Nanzhi's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back several times.
While hesitating, Shen Nanzhi's eyes inadvertently swept across a corner of Xiao Chuyun's secret letter.
Yuzhou.
It's a secret report from Yuzhou.
I don’t know what the current situation in Yuzhou is.
Xiao Qian'an wanted to capture Shen Nanzhi in Yuzhou and use Shen Nanzhi to deal with Xiao Chuyun.
But Xiao Qian'an never expected that Xiao Chuyun was not in Yuzhou, and Shen Nanzhi had not gone to Yuzhou either.
Xiao Qian'an, who wanted to plot against them, fell into a passive position instead.
The relationship between Yuzhou Mu Zhou Zhengyong and Emperor Shunqing has been broken because of Lin Hongrui. As the most beloved son of Emperor Shunqing, once Xiao Qian'an's whereabouts are exposed in Yuzhou, Zhou Zhengyong will not let him go so easily.
It’s a pity that Shen Nanzhi had not been able to communicate with Xiao Chuyun before, and they didn’t know each other’s plans.
Otherwise, he could use this opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife, just like he did with Lin Hongrui, and prevent Xiao Qian'an from ever returning to the capital.
Her thoughts had wandered a little, and when she came to her senses, Shen Nanzhi realized that Xiao Chuyun was looking at her.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong?"
Xiao Chuyun gave up the seat next to him and naturally pulled Shen Nanzhi to sit next to him.
He held the secret letter in one hand and put his arm around Shen Nanzhi's waist with the other, and said softly, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Because they were so close, the cool scent of grass and wood on his body instantly enveloped Shen Nanzhi, and his hot breath also fell on Shen Nanzhi's ears, making her ears slightly hot.
Shen Nanzhi did not hide anything and told him exactly what he had been thinking.
At the end, Shen Nanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "If we miss this opportunity, when Xiao Qian returns to Beijing, it won't be that easy to do it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun chuckled.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Prince, what are you laughing at?"
She was about to turn around to look at him, but Xiao Chuyun suddenly leaned down. Shen Nanzhi didn't expect him to lower his head suddenly, and her lips brushed against his cheek.
Instantly, a faint red mark of lip balm was left on his face.
Shen Nanzhi: “…”
She opened her mouth and was about to explain, but she heard Xiao Chuyun ask expectantly, "Did Miss Shen take the initiative this time, or was it just an accident?"
Thinking about how Shen Nanzhi had admitted that she was the one who took the initiative in order not to disappoint him, the next moment he begged her to kiss him again on the other side.
After the "lesson" from last time, even though he met those expectant eyes, Shen Nanzhi hardened his heart and quickly explained: "It was an accident!"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a hint of loss flashed across Xiao Chuyun's ink-black eyes.
Shen Nanzhi's heart, which had just hardened, softened a little.
But the next moment, Xiao Chuyun chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. I can always wait for the day when Miss Shen takes the initiative."
His eyes were heavy, and in his originally cold pupils there surged a strong and almost indissoluble affection, which made Shen Nanzhi feel a little embarrassed.
How can a person's eyes be so affectionate?
She was about to turn her head away when Xiao Chuyun suddenly leaned over and kissed her.
Different from the previous passionate kiss, this time his kiss fell on Shen Nanzhi's forehead.
Although he let go of Shen Nanzhi with just a light touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water, that solemn kiss still seemed to carry a brand of fire, and instantly landed on Shen Nanzhi's heart.
Before she could come to her senses, she heard Xiao Chuyun say seriously: "But even if Miss Shen is unwilling to take the initiative, it doesn't matter. I can do it myself."
Why didn't she think Xiao Chuyun was so good at saying sweet words before?
Moreover, it seems that he is becoming more and more out of shape.
His originally hot cheeks were now tinged with a hint of drunkenness because of these words.
Shen Nanzhi was just about to glare at him when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
Shen Nanzhi's originally rosy face instantly turned as pale as paper.
The smile on her face suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun's expression also tightened.
"But where does it feel uncomfortable?"
Even Xiao Chuyun himself didn't notice that his voice trembled unconsciously at this moment.
