In the study room, incense lingers.
Everything has an answer.
Shen Hua held her breath and frowned squeamishly, but said nothing.
The hand stroking her hair paused, and the man's voice was unbearably gentle: "Why don't you ask again?"
"Save your life."
The girl has one theory after another: "Sometimes you still have to pretend to be stupid. Otherwise, if you know too much, you will be silenced."
As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at Cui Yun eagerly.
The next moment, the girl who wanted to save her life asked.
"So, the prince is not of royal blood, is he? The Queen is really having an affair? Amazing!"
Her eyes flickered: "The officials sent people to hunt you down, but you encountered such a scandal?"
"So much so that the cat won't let it go! First it's not confused, and then it's poisoned. Is this going to kill you? It's obviously going to kill me!"
"I'm telling you! No wonder I didn't get hit when Fu Huo appeared in Liyuan. Doctor Ni once said that if you get hit once, you won't get hit again."
"That dog emperor has a vicious heart!"
"But why did the Wei family girls also fall into the trap later? She disappeared overnight."
Before Cui Yun could reply, she found the answer again.
"I understand! The third prince returned to Shengjing. Naturally he wanted to get married at such an age. The emperor didn't want to be interested in it, but he was afraid of being criticized! The marriage he was looking for was too low and too high, so he came here and his family status Yes, enough insults."
"He's quite successful as a father."
Shen Hua came to the conclusion: "Directing and acting in a play, what kind of emperor does he want to be? It's time to write a painting notebook!"
Cui Yun listened to her in silence. He couldn't help but chuckle.
Shen Hua glanced at him and softened her tone: "Did I say something wrong?"
He bent down, breathed heavily, and said in a low voice: "Don't go to the theater."
Shen Hua is not used to this kind of intimacy.
She distanced herself from him. She looked at the bright sky outside again, her eyes wandering, trying to break the attraction. Her ears were hot and charming: "Why did you come back so early today?"
"not busy."
The girl nodded, then sat upright with a serious expression.
"There is something I need to discuss with you."
Cui Yun leaned against the desk and raised his legs. He heard the harsh sound of the chair being moved on the ground. The girl on the huanghuali wooden chair was moved with her. He pinched the slender and fragile back of Shen Hua's neck with his other hand. It was an extremely possessive gesture, holding her waist and pulling her along.
The ends of his eyes raised slightly: "You say."
Shen Hua was forced to stand up. She leaned forward unsteadily, and her fingertips subconsciously climbed onto his shoulders. She was about to let go, but the hand on her waist tightened, and the words stuck in her throat became a fierce but weak sentence. : "You can't always use your hands and feet like this. My brother doesn't know yet. Turn around and he-"
Before she finished speaking, his lips came closer and rubbed the corners of her lips. They rubbed her lips repeatedly.
He said: "It can't be done."
Cui Yun tested Shen Hua's reaction, then hugged her and sat on the huanghuali wooden chair, preventing her from hiding back.
Shen Hua's health has been improving, but she is still too thin. She is even light and weightless. When she gasped lightly, her blush was obvious, and her eyes were covered with mist.
She felt it shouldn't be like this, but... she liked Cui Yun treating her like this.
She is finished, she is not serious.
My hand was stuffed with wolf hair again.
Cui Yun took out a new piece of rice paper. His voice was gentle, but what he said was not human.
"Your paintings are pretty good. Why don't you paint my brother Xu's paintings too?"
It’s rare for Shen Hua to hear Cui Yun praise her!
When the girl heard this, her dark almond-shaped eyes blinked.
"Of course my paintings are good, why do I need you to praise me? But I still can't compare with Mr. Hou. At least this girl from Shengjing won't rush to buy it."
She actually had little impression of the Xu family brother. Later, the Xu family moved away from Fengzhou, and she never saw him again.
The girl has always been heartless.
As long as the Xu family's fruit tree is still there, who cares whether the Xu family can leave or not.
Based on the impression in her memory, she finally started writing.
But before he could draw the outline, his wrist was grabbed by the person behind him.
Cui Yun laughed angrily and said, "I asked you to draw it, but you really did it?"
————
East courtyard.
After Xue Shuyue met Cui Xuanshi, she kept smiling all the way. She had just returned to Xiyuan, but by chance she went to Shen Hua's east courtyard.
Witnessed Cui Yun sending Shen Hua back.
She could neither stand nor stand. Then she heard the girl's expressionless expression of resentment as she crossed the threshold.
"Miss my wheelchair."
She was tired from walking. It was still convenient for her to be in a wheelchair, so she could just sit and enjoy being pushed.
Xue Shuyue:......
She hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"cousin."
Cui Yun's eyes did not fall on her as usual. He only responded lightly and warned Shen Hua in detail.
"You're feeling better now. You still need to walk more. Even if you don't go out, it's not bad to take a walk in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. But if Sister Rong is with you, she's too lazy."
"I have to lie down outside, and I won't be able to come over for dinner."
Xue Shuyue had never seen Cui Yun like this before, and she never came back to her senses after they had gone far away.
Tea was served against the greenery in the room. She took it, but her eyes fell on Shen Hua who was sitting slumped from time to time.
Xue Shuyue let out a long sigh: "Your life is so good that your cousin values ​​you so much."
These words sounded harsh to Shen Hua.
She even still doesn't agree with some of Xue Shuyue's views.
"He values ​​me, that's because he has a discerning eye."
Xue Shuyue's eyes darkened.
"My wife has announced that I have passed away today. She has arranged a marriage for me."
She was the granddaughter of Mrs. Cui. Her family was in decline, and her elder parents passed away one after another. Mrs. Cui saw that she was lonely, so she settled her in the house.
Naturally, she was also interested in Xue Shuyue's marriage.
Shen Hua understood and hit the nail on the head: "You don't like it?"
"That man is a Jinshi, and his family is ranked among the best in Shengjing, but he was born as a concubine."
"The Madam said that he is a progressive and down-to-earth man, unlike those young men who seek fame and reputation. Even though he has a small official position now, he earns it all by himself. But how can I marry a concubine?"
Over the years she has been in the Hou Mansion, she has become a noble person and has a broad horizon. She would rather be Cui Yun's concubine.
But Mrs. Tai is also a human being.
——Control your thoughts, pretending I can't see it? You haven't let him pay any attention to you all these years.
——Shu Yue, your grandmother has a strong temper. At first, she insisted on marrying your grandfather despite the opposition from her family. No one was optimistic about her, but your grandfather has been treating her like a day for ten years, and her life has been prosperous.
——When a person is alive, his eyelids should not be too shallow.
Xue Shuyue: "I'm not young anymore, but if I don't leave the court, I can't live like an old girl. I've given up. I don't want to be my cousin anymore, but I'm a little unwilling to do that. What do you think of me? Should it?"
After hearing this, Shen Hua breathed lazily: "This is not a big deal."
"If you don't like others, they probably don't like you either."
