In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Qiyin is Shen Mengyin's sister, and she happens to be proficient in medicine. So it is natural for the latter to go to her when she feels unwell, and no one would think too much about it.
On the contrary, it would be strange if Shen Qiyin didn't go.
She didn't care what others thought or saw, but if she didn't go, she wouldn't know what her good sister was going to do, and it would be a pity if she missed the show!
So she stood up and left the table, and said to the maid who came to deliver the message, "Lead the way."
"Eh!"
Unexpectedly, Feng Ruoying suddenly grabbed her and said nervously, "I'll go with you."
The maid's breathing stagnated, and she said hurriedly: "...But, but, Fourth Miss Shen only said to let the gentleman go." The implication is that no one asked you to go.
"I'm not going to see her!" Feng Ruoying rolled her eyes almost to the sky: "My waist is sore from sitting so I want to walk around and stretch my muscles, is that not okay?"
"…Miss, you are a distinguished guest in the Marquis' Mansion, so it's fine."
"Humph."
Feng Ruoying pursed her nose and was about to leave, holding Shen Qiyin's arm.
Unexpectedly, the latter did not move.
She looked puzzled: "Let's go."
Shen Qiyin just pulled out his hand and said calmly, "I can go by myself."
"But……"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." She knew that Feng Ruoying had good intentions and was worried about her safety. Precisely because of this, she couldn't drag her into this.
If it only concerns the Shen family, the Feng family would naturally not be afraid given their power and status.
But now Shen Mengyin has already got involved with the Marquis of Jianning's Mansion, which is not something Minister Feng can contend with, so he should avoid this muddy water if possible and not get involved in it at all.
Besides, seeing Shen Qiyin’s firm attitude, Feng Ruoying thought that she just had her own plans and was afraid that if she followed her, it would make things worse, so she just listened to her and didn’t insist any more.
When walking out of the banquet hall, Shen Qiyin glanced in the direction of Song Lanyan without leaving a trace, and sure enough, she was not at her seat, and no one knew where she had gone.
The maid led her out. At first, she could hear the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras coming from the banquet hall, but later, there was only the sound of the wind.
It became more and more secluded as we walked along.
Xianglan followed Shen Qiyin silently. She saw the bamboo grove, winding water, wide pond and lush trees in the marquis' mansion, with intricate and winding paths. She picked a handful of flowers and scattered them along the way as a mark to avoid any accidents that would prevent her from finding the way home.
Shen Qiyin noticed her little movements, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. He became more and more satisfied with this girl.
They walked all the way to an attic, and the maid who was responsible for leading the way finally stopped.
"Xiangjun, please."
Shen Qiyin looked around and saw many purple bamboos and golden jade bamboos planted near the attic. The bamboos were cool in color and the waves were clear and blue. She seemed to be talking to herself, "The resting place prepared by the Marquis' Mansion for the guests is really quiet." Along the way, she didn't even see a ghost.
The maidservant didn't know whether she understood what she said or not. She just bowed her head and said, "My lord, please go upstairs to the top floor."
Shen Qiyin's eyes moved slightly, she lifted her skirt and went upstairs.
Xianglan followed in fear. Halfway up the stairs, she took off the hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeve. Her head was like a rattle, looking left and right, always alert to any movement around her.
This is a library.
There are four floors in total.
Not particularly high.
This is also one of the reasons why Shen Qiyin is willing to "be obedient".
If this library was as high as the secret cell in the Eagle Pavilion, she would have definitely turned around and left.
Although Shen Qiyin is smart, he is not able to plan everything out.
Even though she had the experience of being reborn, some things had changed as she made different choices from her previous life, so she could not predict everything.
Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, she had made sufficient preparations before deciding to come to the Marquis' Mansion for the banquet.
Including the fact that Shen Mengyin tricked her into coming here, she had anticipated all kinds of possibilities in advance and had thought of countermeasures one by one.
Therefore, when she walked around the bookshelves and saw the person standing by the window, she was not surprised or shocked at all.
Until the other party opened his mouth——
"Miss Shen, this is a play I prepared specially for you. Do you like it?"
