At that moment, it seemed as if everything around me had frozen: the hawkers' cries outside the window, the sound of wheels of running horses, the cheerful laughter of children... all disappeared.
It seems as long as a lifetime, yet as short as a snap of the fingers.
Shen Qiyin put down the paper and was slow to pick up the pen.
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her eyes and looked directly into Xiao Yan's ink-black eyes, and nodded slowly but firmly.
Yes!
The affair between Feng Heng and Shen Ruyin was all due to her.
She stopped pretending and came clean.
Xiao Yan had no expression on his face, and then asked, "In Dongyue Tower, the Shen brothers and sisters had a fight, I guess it was also your doing?"
Keep nodding.
"Shen Guangzong's status as a candidate was cancelled because of you behind the scenes." This is no longer a question.
Still nodding.
Alas, she felt a little embarrassed when someone listed her achievements in front of her.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that he could no longer see through her: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Shen Cang?"
In response to him, Shen Qiyin shook his head for the only time.
[Your Excellency is in a high position, and I am as small as an ant. If you really want to take my life, there is no need to go through so much trouble. One sword will be enough] Just like he killed the Thousand Eagle Guard named "Zhao Jiu".
After finishing writing, she gave Xiao Yan a quick glance, then lowered her head and continued writing.
Xiao Yan actually had the patience to wait for her and did not rush her.
[But please keep me here, it will be useful to you]
There seemed to be a hint of smile in his eyes: "For example?"
Pick up the pen.
【I know how to treat diseases】
lift.
After letting go, continue writing.
[Still willing to work hard]
lift.
Put it down again, swish swish swish——
【Can tell fortunes】
lift.
Then put it down and continue writing.
【Can also draw】
When Xiao Yan looked at the last point, the ten vivid little turtles inexplicably emerged in his mind.
Seeing the person opposite him picking up the pen to write again, Xiao Yan reached out and pressed her wrist without thinking too much. The delicate touch of his palm, which was different from his skin, made him slightly distracted.
Shen Qiyin didn't realize anything was wrong and just looked at him in confusion.
what happened?
Xiao Yan suddenly withdrew his hand and clenched it into a fist.
He suddenly stood up, picked up the box on the table and left.
When he reached the stairs, the tall figure suddenly stopped. He turned his back to Shen Qiyin and said in a deep voice, "This flute is very important to me. Thank you for helping me today."
"Remember to look for me when you go to Eagle Nest Tower in three days. I will give you a better one."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shen Qiyin looked at his figure disappearing at the stairs, unconsciously closed his eyes, and slowly let out a breath.
She knew that the Thousand Eagle Guards had spies everywhere in Shangjing, but she never expected that Xiao Yan would actually monitor her, a mere daughter of an imperial physician!
I think it was that time in Jing'an Temple when she thought she was the mantis stalking the cicada, but she didn't expect that there was a oriole behind her.
He must have set his sights on her then.
Come to think of it, the second young lady of the Shen family, who used to put her family first, became a completely different person overnight. She turned the sharp blade that was originally used to protect her family against them, which naturally aroused suspicion.
Just now, she was even prepared that Xiao Yan would ask her why she targeted the Shen family.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not ask, he also left in a hurry.
Maybe there is some mission?
Since Xiao Yan promised to give her a flute, Shen Qiyin did not continue to choose in Qingyin Pavilion, but went directly back to Guangrentang. Before leaving, she did not forget to take away the paper with her handwriting.
When she returned to Guangrentang, she saw Chunsheng squatting in the middle of the room with a sad face. In front of him was a basin with a piece of clothing in it, which looked familiar.
Shen Qiyin squatted in front of him, poked him with his hand, and asked silently.
what happened?
"...My clothes are dirty and can't be washed clean." He was almost crying when he said this.
What clothes are Shen Qiyin thinking about? Are they so precious?
After taking a closer look, he realized that it was the one she gave him during the Chinese New Year last year.
Not only Chunsheng, but also her senior and junior brothers, she gave each of them one, thinking that they would wear new clothes during the New Year to add to the festive atmosphere.
But I never saw him wearing it, and I thought he just didn't like that style.
Seeing that Chunsheng's hands were rubbed red, Shen Qiyin hurriedly pulled him up: "Wash..."
She frowned after saying just one word.
I don’t know if it’s because I talked too much when I met Feng Ruoying just now, but my throat hurts so much now.
Chunsheng quickly took out paper and pen and gave it to her.
[If you can’t wash it clean, don’t wash it. Keep it for tomorrow’s herb-collecting trip up the mountain. You won’t feel bad if it gets dirty or torn.]
"But..." You sewed this for me with your own hands.
Chunsheng kept this dress in the closet and never had the heart to wear it. He would take it out and try it on from time to time, like a treasure.
Just now when he was bored, he took it out and wanted to put it on to show off, but he found that the cuffs were a little short. He thought that if he didn't wear it anymore it would be too small, so he put it on. As a result, when he took something from the counter, he accidentally knocked over the inkstone and got all covered in ink.
Chunsheng felt like the sky was falling.
Before, Old Madam Shen had always been in charge of Shen Qiyin's pocket, so she didn't have much money, and the materials she used to make clothes for them were not expensive. But when she saw that Chunsheng seemed to care a lot, she asked him tentatively: "Then how about I give you another one?"
Chunsheng instantly revived with full health: "Really?!"
Shen Qiyin nodded.
It's just a piece of clothing, not worth much.
Chunsheng seemed very happy: "Okay!"
After the two of them finished talking, Chunsheng hurriedly wrung out the clothes and hung them out to hang.
When Shen Qiyin was pouring water for him, she accidentally wet her clothes. Someone came to see a doctor just then, so she just picked up Sanwa's robe and put it on.
She put on her mask and walked out.
It turned out to be someone I knew.
Feng Heng!
Even though the two had been engaged and later broke off the engagement, Shen Qiyin didn't have any special emotions when facing him.
Neither hatred nor disgust, just like watching people passing by the door.
Although Feng Heng and Shen Ruyin were having an affair, and in the eyes of the world he had let her down, she really didn't care in her heart because she didn't take him seriously at all.
Even if he fell in love with the female monkey on the mountain, the most she could do was to watch the fun like everyone else, but she would never do anything more.
Therefore, she had no grudges against treating Feng Heng. Unless he refused to pay her for the consultation, she had no reason to be stingy with the money.
Chunsheng asked him to sit down, but he stared at Shen Qiyin's eyes and said, "This little brother...you have such beautiful eyes!"
"Hiss, it seems a bit familiar, what's going on?"
Chunsheng: “…” Is he a serious patient?
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
Hearing this, Feng Heng instantly stopped caring about Shen Qiyin's appearance and said dejectedly, "You go out first."
Chunsheng knew that some patients did not want a third person present when they were seeing a doctor, but their situation today was special, so he hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, our second in command has had a sore throat these past two days and has been unable to speak."
But Feng Heng insisted: "Then you get out too!"
Chunsheng is in trouble.
Seeing this, Shen Qiyin picked up the pen and quickly wrote a few words on the paper, then turned it over and held it in front of Feng Heng.
[Can you read?]
Feng Heng: "Who are you scolding?" He even asked him if he could read! Didn't he know that he almost won the imperial examination?
Shen Qiyin waved his hand.
Chunsheng explained again: "Young Master, you misunderstood. Second Master meant that if you can read, she will write it for you. What do you think of this?"
"can."
Chunsheng then closed the curtain and left. Before leaving, he gave Shen Qiyin a look that said, "Call me if you need anything."
Shen Qiyin nodded to indicate that he had received it.
Before taking Feng Heng's pulse, she first asked him where he felt uncomfortable, but he hesitated and looked embarrassed to speak.
Shen Qiyin saw that he was about to crumple the paper she handed him for questioning. Just as she was about to stop him, she heard him say in a very low voice: "Doctor, I, I can't do it."
Shen Qiyin paused as he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.
no? !
Is that the “no” she understood?
