Shen Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, "What does Sanlang mean by this?"
Lu Xingyue stared at her deeply, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through her skin and see into the soul inside.
Seeing that Shen Lansui was a little uncomfortable, he looked away and said, "I have wronged you. I will continue to investigate this matter."
Shen Lansui was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It's not an grievance. The man's name is Sun Zong. He is the son of the eldest lady of the uncle's house. He is a minor steward in the house. He has met me several times, but I have a close relationship with him. He had no affair, he wanted to take me to elope, and if I didn't agree, he would...if the eldest lady insisted on investigating, even though I could escape, I would still be in trouble."
Shen Lansui pressed his heart weakly, and Lu Xingyue frowned slightly.
"The little uncle is in charge of affairs and can come and go freely in the Duke's house." He chuckled.
Shen Lansui observed his expression and couldn't help but ask: "Why does Sanlang want to help me? You and I have never met, so you trust me so much?"
Lu Xingyue's green pupils reflected the light of dragons and phoenixes, they were very magnificent but had an icy color.
"Do you know why the Duke doesn't continue the investigation?"
"Because family scandals cannot be publicized?" she asked tentatively.
"This is just one of the reasons. The other is that he knows that the problem lies in the Duke's Mansion. If he continues to investigate, it will not look good on anyone, so he has no choice but to give up."
Shen Lansui heard the implication. It turned out that this was what he meant by wronging her, "That's why you helped me."
Lu Xingyue's gaze seemed to pass between her eyebrows unintentionally, but he didn't answer.
He actually woke up when Sun Zong came, but he couldn't move or open his eyes, but he could hear sounds, so he heard their conversation clearly.
And after he opened his eyes, he found that he could see the "qi" between other people's eyebrows. It was smaller, like a flower, but the color was different for each person.
Mu Chongan's color is gray and black, the doctor's color is white, Shen Lansui's color is white and pink, Rong Guogong is more pink, reddish, and the eldest lady is pure black.
Although he didn't know what the color represented, he guessed it had something to do with himself.
Because Rong Guogong is pink and Zhou Quan is more pink, Shen Lansui, who is white and pink, must be on his side.
"Did you touch my finger on the bed before?" Lu Xingyue asked suddenly.
Shen Lansui's heart tightened and she looked at him pretending to be confused: "It was such a chaos, I don't remember it."
Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, "When you touched me, my body felt very comfortable, as if I was soaked in warm water."
Shen Lansui: "!"
Was he conscious at the time?
Lu Xingyue suddenly came closer. Shen Lansui suddenly raised her hand to cover the back of his hand and asked shyly, "Is that so?"
Lu Xingyue's body suddenly stiffened when his warm and soft palm came up against him.
The two of them were so close because of their movements that he could even smell the faint fragrance of Shen Lansui's body. The pearls in her ears swayed, complementing her clear and bright eyes, making her eyes even more discerning.
She smiled and said softly: "Sanlang's hands are cold, and my hands are hot, so they will naturally feel warm."
Lu Xingyue was in a stalemate with her for a moment, then suddenly withdrew his hand.
"Um."
He turned his face away and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a "coo".
The bedroom suddenly became quiet.
"Gu Gu."
There was another sound.
Shen Lansui covered her stomach in embarrassment. Lu Xingyue looked over and she said softly, "I'm a little hungry."
Lu Xingyue was silent for a moment, then slightly raised his lower lip, "I'll ask someone to prepare food."
The previous embarrassment faded away in an instant, and he regained his calm and self-possessed appearance. He stood up to find someone.
Shen Lansui quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her healing power is her life-saving trump card, and she can't just let people know about it.
*
Both of them were injured and could not eat big fish or meat, so the meals they were given were very bland.
Lu Xingyue was helped by Zhou Quan to sit down at the table. Shen Lansui covered her heart and moved slowly to the opposite side of him. Just as she was about to sit down, she heard someone outside crying: "Miss!"
Shen Lansui was startled. She turned around and saw two maids in pink standing at the door, looking at her worriedly.
Those with oval faces are meant to watch spring, and those with round faces are meant to appreciate summer.
"Why are you crying?" Shen Lansui glanced at Lu Xingyue. Lu Xingyue picked up his chopsticks and said, "You are the mistress of Pinglan Courtyard."
Does this mean she can be more casual?
Shen Lansui waved to the two of them, and they crept in. They bowed to Lu Xingyue cautiously and timidly.
Lu Xingyue glanced at it and then looked away, his expression indifferent.
Guan Chun didn't care about that much. Seeing Shen Lansui's eyes turn red again, he knelt down and said, "Miss, you deserve to be damned. Such a big thing happened and I'm not by your side!"
Shang Xia pulled off her sleeves and whispered, "Miss? It's the third young lady!"
"Oh yes, yes!"
Guanchun quickly slapped his mouth, "It's my slave's fault!"
"Why weren't you outside the new house at that time?"
Shen Lansui did not let them get up and lowered his eyes to observe their expressions.
"A person dressed as a grandma said that the kitchen was understaffed and was afraid something would go wrong, so she asked the slaves to help make dumplings."
Shang Xia was still calm and said in an orderly manner: "The slaves didn't want to go at that time. Two people dressed as maids came and said that they were from the third master. They were guarding here. The slaves were unfamiliar with the place and didn't know him. What he said was true or false, but I was afraid that the lady would be seen as stingy, so I went. Later I heard that something happened here, and the slaves were arrested and interrogated again, and then they were released. "
After saying that, she lowered her head in shame, "This slave is not thinking well, please punish me, madam!"
Shen Lansui thought for a moment, then raised his hand to help them, "Get up, you guys made a mistake in this matter. You should be careful because you are unfamiliar with the place. Do you have any objection to punishing you with a month's silver?"
Lu Xingyue, who was quietly drinking porridge, glanced at her.
He seems to have a talkative temperament, but I didn't expect him to have clear rewards and punishments.
Guan Chun and Shang Xia shook their heads repeatedly, "No objection, thank you Madam for your tolerance."
Shen Lansui nodded and stopped worrying. Filling his stomach was the top priority.
But both of her hands were injured, and it hurt terribly when she lifted them up. Guan Chun and Shang Xia quickly pressed her down. Guan Chun said: "Madam, don't move, slave!"
She picked up a bowl of dumplings, scooped out a blow and brought it to Shen Lansui's lips.
Shen Lansui ducked back unaccustomedly before taking a bite. After just two chews, her eyes widened. Shang Xia was already prepared. She handed over the empty bowl and she immediately spat it out.
She looked at the two of them in astonishment, and asked meaningfully: "Are you alive or not?"
Shen Lansui didn't react and subconsciously said: "Sheng."
Guan Chun immediately burst into laughter.
Shang Xia covered her lips, and Zhou Quan on the opposite side also bent his lower lip. Even Lu Xingyue, who was eating silently, raised his head and looked at her. She couldn't understand the look in his eyes.
Shen Lansui was confused, what was wrong, what were they laughing at?
