Shen Qiyin looked up in surprise.

Xiao Yan stood in front of her, lowered his head slightly, and tied her cloak with a focused look.

He was slightly startled when he met her gaze without any precaution. After tying his cloak, he immediately withdrew his hand and took a step back.

Shen Qiyin inexplicably felt that this scene looked familiar.

She lifted her cloak and took a step forward, her eyes slightly shining: "Why did you come to the Marquis' Mansion?"

After asking this question, she realized that there was something wrong with what she said.

Just when she was about to ask him to pretend that she hadn't said anything, she heard Xiao Yan say calmly, "I promised to give you a flute that day."

"Sir, you came here specifically to find me?" She should have understood correctly, right?

"Ah."

He didn't like to break his promises, so after entering the palace to report to the emperor, he went to Guangrentang to find her first, but was told that she had come to Wu'an Marquis' Mansion for a medical consultation.

But as he entered the mansion, what he heard people talking about the most was not how she treated Wei Heng, but her identity as a doctor at Guangrentang, how she was deceived by Shen Yaozu into wearing a fake pearl hairpin to the banquet, how she saved Feng Ruoying who accidentally fell into the water, and... how she "accidentally" knocked the cousin of the Minister's Mansion into the water.

Xiao Yan felt that it was probably that damn cousin who had provoked her.

Xie Qing...

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw the man rushing out of the house, pointing his finger at Shen Qiyin and saying, "You are not allowed to leave! I suspect that it was you who pushed my cousin into the water, you must give us an explanation!"

"Why?" Shen Qiyin gathered his cloak and raised his eyebrows, "Just because you doubt? Then I also suspect that you have eaten shit, how do you prove that you haven't eaten it?"

"Pfft! Hahaha..."

This time, someone started laughing, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Those noble ladies from aristocratic families were too embarrassed to laugh after hearing such vulgar words and could only hold back their laughter. They lowered their heads deeply, pursed their lips, and their shoulders trembled.

As a result, I accidentally looked at the little sister next to me, and my effort was immediately ruined.

When Xie Qing heard the "shrill" laughter, her originally fair cheeks instantly turned as red as liver.

Shen Qiyin continued to speak: "When ordinary people hear that Feng Ruoying fell into the water, their first reaction is to ask if she fell in accidentally. Why did you, Miss Xie, say that she was pushed into the water?"

"Did you see someone doing evil with your own eyes, or are you the one crying thief?"

Xie Qing: "I..."

"Shut up!" Feng Ruoying, supported by her maid, walked out angrily: "I already said she didn't push me, why are you jumping up and down here?"

"Ying'er, I'm just helping you vent your anger..."

"Whether you are helping me or yourself, you know it in your heart!" Don't think she is stupid and can't see anything.

Xie Qing's pupils trembled!

She had not yet decided on marrying into the Marquis of Jianning's mansion, and now was not the time to break up with Feng Ruoying, so she immediately turned her gun on Shen Qiyin.

"You must have secretly used some drug to control my cousin, so she spoke in your favor. She obviously hates you so much, and you...ah!"

Xie Qing's voice stopped abruptly.

She only felt a cool breeze blowing across her neck, and then the pain spread.

She reached out her hand tremblingly to touch the side of her neck, only to see her fingertips stained with a bright red.

Blood!

She looked at the sharp sword tip that was about to pierce her face with horror, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

The owner of the sword was looking at her with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The other ladies were also frightened.

In fact, let alone these delicate girls, even those pretentious young men, what about them? Aren’t they also frightened and retreated again and again, fearing that they would be spotted by Xiao Yan?

But others can retreat, but Ruan Xinghu, the owner of the house, cannot retreat.

Not only could she not retreat, she also took a step forward, bowed to Xiao Yan, and said, "Please calm down, my lord. I hope you can show some mercy to us at today's banquet."

Xiao Yan put away the Frost Sword expressionlessly, and the words he said were enough to make anyone angry to death.

He said, "Oh, there's a fly."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Xie Qing.

Does the prince think her buzzing is annoying?

Then Shen Qiyin stood beside Xiao Yan, watching his "feat", with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Power is a good thing...

Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of Shen Qiyin's unusually "burning" gaze from the corner of his eye, and his sword-holding hand couldn't help but clench a little.

When he was about to ask more, he saw that she had already withdrawn her gaze, turned to look at Xie Qing, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Xie, can I leave now?"

In fact, even without Xiao Yan, if she wanted to leave, Xie Qing would not be able to stop her.

But for people like the latter, it is easier to make her angry if someone takes advantage of the power of another than to fight alone.

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Xie Qing was so angry that her eyes almost popped out.

But because Xiao Yan was standing there with a fierce look on his face, she didn't dare to say a word.

"Let's go." Xiao Yan placed the sword across Shen Qiyin's waist and held her lightly like an arm, making her feel fully present but not abrupt.

When the young masters and young ladies from the aristocratic families saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Isn't it said that Master Xiao doesn't like women? Why does it seem to me that he has an unusual attitude towards Miss Shen Er?"

"I also think there's something fishy going on between the two of them. Didn't you hear him say that he was going to give Miss Shen a flute?"

"Could it be a token of love?!"

"Impossible!" Suddenly, a woman in yellow denied it harshly: "She, Shen Qiyin, is just the daughter of a doctor. Even though she is a bit outstanding in appearance, Master Xiao is not a lustful person. How could he possibly be interested in her!"

Seeing how excited she was, everyone naturally wouldn't argue with her.

But she became more and more excited as she spoke: "I heard that a doctor from Guangren Hall had been in and out of Qiying Pavilion before. I think it must be her."

"Prince Xiao only paid attention to her out of reluctance because he saw that she was of some use. She is so arrogant and thinks she is so great. It's really ridiculous..."

Shen Qiyin had no idea that someone was plotting against her behind her back. At the moment, she was sitting in a carriage, preparing to go to Qiying Pavilion to change the medicine for Qianxing, and to take back the flute that Xiao Yan had promised to give her.

Unexpectedly, when the carriage stopped and she got off, she saw that it was the Shen family!

Xiao Yan rode on his horse, looked at her and said, "It won't be too late to go to the Eagle Pavilion later."

"……Oh."

She didn't quite understand. Wouldn't it be convenient for her to go with them now?

At this time, Feng Liu said: "My master is worried that you will be tired."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan glared at him.

Feng Liu immediately shrank his neck and closed his mouth.

Shen Qiyin didn't think much about it. He thanked Xiao Yan generously and then wanted to take off his cloak and return it to him.

I didn't want to, but he stopped me.

"Put it on."

He said these two words and then rode away.

Feng Liu smiled and said, "My master is worried that you will be cold."

After saying this, he also left in a cloud of dust.

Shen Qiyin looked at the direction where Xiao Yan rode away on horseback, thinking of several major events that happened in the court in his previous life, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long while, she patted Rendong on the shoulder and said to her: "Rendong, you must remember that sometimes, choice is more important than hard work."

"...Oh." Honeysuckle nodded blankly.

Shen Qiyin: "Let's go."

After returning to Haitang Courtyard, she took a comfortable hot bath and then went to rest.

When she woke up, Rendong told her that the old lady sent someone to look for her, but when she learned that she was asleep, she did not disturb her and only left a message, asking her to go to Zhuijin Hall after she woke up.

Shen Qiyin smiled coldly.

When did her grandmother, who had always been so self-centered, become so easy to talk to?

I guess the news that Wu'an Marquis Mansion asked her to go over and treat the third son of Wei had already spread back to the mansion, and she was wearing Xiao Yan's cloak and was personally sent back by him...

All of this forced the old lady to start re-evaluating her value.

After tidying up simply, Shen Qiyin went to Zhuijin Hall and specially put on the pearl hairpin that Shen Yaozu gave her.

As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Zhou said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, the second young lady is here. The old lady and the master have been waiting for you for a while."
