Shen Qiyin was a little surprised: "Master, haven't you left yet?!"
"Gone." Came back again.
As the incident happened suddenly, he secretly followed her all the way to Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and when she was done, he followed her back as usual.
"...Sir, is there anything else?" As he said this, Shen Qiyin covered his lips and yawned, his voice full of fatigue.
So, the words that Xiao Yan wanted to say became: "...No."
"Then please go back and rest, my lord. It's already this hour."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly stretched out his hand towards her.
Shen Qiyin looked puzzled, but did not dare to move.
Xiao Yan helped her take off a small osmanthus flower that had just been thrown on her head. When he took it down, the petals hooked up a few strands of hair. He also stroked the top of her hair with his fingertips to make them "behave well".
“There’s a flower,” he explained.
Miss Shen thought to herself, it was you who smashed it!
But he said, "Thank you, sir."
"Come to Eagle Nest Tower tomorrow, remember to look for me."
"...Okay." She bowed to Xiao Yan, turned around and left calmly, but the hand holding the lantern unconsciously clenched.
Xiao Yan stood under the tree and watched her return to her room. He watched her figure disappear behind the door. As the candles in the room went out one by one, his sight finally fell on the window in the inner room.
When that place became completely dark, he left.
Shen Qiyin lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Ren Dong turned sideways towards her and asked, "Sister, what were you looking at outside when you were standing in front of the window just now?"
"...There's a cat, see if he's gone."
"Oh."
"It's late, go to bed."
Shen Qiyin tucked the quilt for Rendong again. The latter said "hmm" softly and said nothing more. She fell asleep soon.
She had no desire to sleep.
Xiao Yan's arrival tonight made her vaguely break her original perception of him.
She was not a self-admiring person, but what Xiao Yan said, combined with what he had done before, made her think more. He probably, perhaps, possibly, most likely, fell in love with her!
Otherwise, why would he rush over and explain everything about himself just because he said "I'm not familiar with it"?
Even the fact that "there is no concubine" was told to her!
Judging from the way he spoke today, he clearly wanted to speak frankly. If something hadn't happened at the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion, I'm afraid this layer of window paper would have been broken.
That's why she just yawned deliberately, pretending to be sleepy and tired, and escaped temporarily.
Otherwise, if he brings up the past again and I haven't thought of a way to deal with it, it would be bad.
If she were honest, Shen Qiyin didn't hate Xiao Yan at all, but that didn't mean she would develop any romantic feelings for him.
But if I really refuse directly...
She didn't dare.
There is a huge difference in their status. If Xiao Yan is really displeased, he can kill her with just a word.
That night, Shen Qiyin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.
It was almost dawn when she finally closed her eyes for a while.
But he was worried and couldn't sleep well, so he woke up after a while.
I don't eat much for breakfast.
Honeysuckle looked at her and couldn't help but frowned: "Sister, you don't want to eat now?"
"Hmm, I can't eat much." Perhaps because she didn't get enough rest, she had no appetite.
Fearing that Rendong might worry, Shen Qiyin said, "It's okay. I'll pack some snacks for you to eat when you're hungry later."
"Are you sick?" Honeysuckle reached out and touched her forehead, but it felt cool, not hot: "It's not hot either."
"I think it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, it's nothing serious."
"Then you can rest later."
"Ah."
Shen Qiyin responded like this, but after breakfast, he still went out.
At the gate of the Shen family, there was a very imposing carriage parked.
It was the same car that the two of them were riding in when Xiao Yan sent her back that day.
Sitting in front of the car door was a young man in gray clothes, who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips, white teeth, and a pair of crescent eyes that smiled before he spoke, looking particularly likable.
He sat with his back against the carriage, one leg bent and placed on the frame, the other leg hanging down, swaying gently from time to time.
He held a piece of straw in his mouth and chewed it out of boredom.
When he saw Shen Qiyin, he immediately ran towards her happily like a puppy seeing its owner.
"Miss Shen!" He looked at Shen Qiyin with sparkling eyes.
His name is Chusi, and he is Xiao Yan's bodyguard.
Since she pretended to have taken poison that day, when she went out the next day, she found that Xiao Yan had lent her both the person and the car.
Chusi took the medicine box with great tact and asked Shen Qiyin in high spirits, "Miss, where are we going? Should we go to the Marquis' Mansion first, or to Qiying Pavilion, or to Guangren Hall?"
"Um..." Shen Qiyin chose his words carefully: "Actually, I'm well now. You can go back and report. There's no need to..."
Before she finished her words, Chusi had a look of "the sky is falling" on her face: "Girl, are you trying to chase me away?"
"I mean……"
"嘤嘤嘤嘤..."
"boarding."
"okay!"
Chusi's expression changed instantly, and he started to busy himself happily, putting down a footstool and opening the car door.
Shen Qiyin was worried that something unexpected might happen at the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, so he decided to go see Wei Heng first.
On the way, Chusi kept on talking: "I am lingering with the girl for a reason."
"You don't know that when our prince is on duty, he doesn't ask us guards or servants to follow him."
"I followed the prince halfway through his life, unlike those who have served him since childhood, so they always bully me in the mansion on weekdays."
"Now I finally have a place to use my skills. It's only been a few days. If you send me back, those people will bully me to death."
"So please be merciful, young lady, and keep me here for a while longer."
"Besides, you can keep me here, it will be very useful to you."
Shen Qiyin inexplicably felt that his words sounded familiar.
It sounded more like what he had said to Xiao Yan before.
So, she chuckled and said, "What's the use of that? Tell me."
"I know martial arts."
"I can catch the car."
“And run errands.”
"The key is to be obedient. I will kill whoever you tell me to kill, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
“……” He doesn’t seem like the type who would be bullied.
Soon they arrived at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Shen Qiyin went to give Wei Heng acupuncture first. When she was about to say goodbye and leave after the acupuncture, the servant beside Old Madam Wei came to say that the old lady was feeling a little unwell and wanted her to come over to take a look.
Shen Qiyin naturally would not refuse.
I followed the maid to Madam Wei's courtyard and went in quietly.
Old Madam Wei was sitting sideways on a low couch, with a large pillow leaning against her back and a thin blanket covering her legs. At first glance, she did look sick.
But when Shen Qiyin put his hand on her wrist, he felt that something was not right.
This body...
Even harder than her.
But after all, she was of a certain age, so Shen Qiyin did not dare to be careless and asked, "I wonder what's wrong with the old lady?"
The words fell, but there was no response.
She shifted her gaze slightly, and her eyes, which were originally intended to observe the other person's complexion, fell on the other person's eyes, only to see that the old lady was staring at her wrist intently.
Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a glimmer of excitement.
This left Shen Qiyin completely confused.
"Madam?" What happened?
Seeing this, the old maid serving beside her quickly reminded her, which brought Madam Wei back to her senses.
She came back to her senses, but she seemed to be possessed by someone else. She suddenly grasped Shen Qiyin's hand, looked at her eagerly and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"…In reply to the old lady, sixteen."
"What month were you born?"
"July."
"What time is it?"
"Yinshi."
"Sixteenth, July, Yin hour..." Madam Wei's expression was so excited that she could not hide it. She said to Nanny Fang who had just reminded her, "Chunzhi'er, did you hear that? Did you hear what she said?"
