Shen Lansui's ears felt inexplicably hot. She pinched her earlobe and when she touched the earrings, she remembered that she was wearing earrings. She lowered her hand and asked, "Why are you here, Lord Marquis?"
"I'll come see you after we finish chatting."
Speaking of Lu Xingyue's eyes falling on Shen Xiyun again, Shen Xiyun said with a wink, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Hou and Fifth Sister, excuse me."
She bowed and walked past Lu Xingyue, bringing with her a faint scent of fragrance.
After walking a long way, she glanced back, with a faint smile on her lips. She looked back and left briskly.
Lu Xingyue looked at Shen Lansui without changing his expression, "Didn't you go to see your mother?"
"Yes." Shen Lansui said helplessly: "Go to my room and talk."
Lu Xingyue sat back in the wheelchair, pushed by Zhou Quan.
Spring Festival and Summer Appreciation came first to tidy up Shen Lansui's boudoir before she got married. Thanks to them, the room was covered with a thin layer of dust, the windows were half open and no one closed them, and there was no water in the teapot. I know how long it has been there.
The two of them worked hard for a long time before cleaning up. They were standing at the door wiping sweat when they heard footsteps and Guan Chun immediately came over to complain.
"Madam, they are so shameless. Even if the madam is married, today is the day to go home. She knows you will come back, but she is too lazy to do the honorable work. You don't know, when the slave comes in, the dressing table It’s still a mess, it’s obvious that no one has been here since you left!”
Shang Xia's face also looked a little ugly, and she was more disappointed.
The wife is living at home, but she is a daughter of a common concubine. The most important thing for the uncle is a daughter. If he hadn't seen that she was still pretty, he would have been left to fend for himself long ago.
But it's just that they haven't starved to death. They usually don't care about her and don't think about her if they have any good things. But if they are angry and punished, she is absolutely indispensable. When they heard that the Duke's house wanted a girl for the wedding, they thought of Madam, and Fortunately, my wife is blessed with such a good life, otherwise Mr. Hou would have had his own shortcomings...
She thought about it and sighed, then she was hit on the head, it was light and weak.
"Why do you always sigh at such a young age? Sighing makes you grow old quickly. You won't be allowed to do that anymore." Shen Lansui took back her hand and pushed open the door of the boudoir.
"Why aren't you angry, Madam?" Shangyia wondered, Madam was not so open-minded before.
Shen Lansui looked back and smiled at her, "After the hell is behind closed doors, what else can't be figured out? Compared with life, these are trivial matters."
Lu Xingyue looked at her deeply when he heard this, and then looked past her to the room.
The boudoir is a very private place. Zhou Quan stopped at the door and did not go in. Shen Lansui took over his work and pushed Lu Xing further inside.
The boudoir at my daughter's house is clean and elegant, with not many decorations. It looks a little empty. The screen is old and the paint is peeling off the corners.
There are two pillows on the couch, and the soft cushions are embroidered with bluegrass patterns.
There was an autumn-colored ribbon pressed between the two cushions. Lu Xingyue's memory was instantly brought back to last night, and the hot and humid aroma seemed to still be lingering in his nose.
He pursed his lower lip uncomfortably.
"Master Marquis, Madam, let's have some tea -" Guan Chun and Shang Xia each took a cup and put it down on the small table. Shen Lansui waved her hand and they left.
As soon as the door closed, Shen Lansui leaned on the cushion, pressed her eyebrows, and put the box in her hand aside.
"My mother just asked me to blow your pillow so that I can arrange an errand for my brother in Jinyiwei."
Shen Lansui thought it was ridiculous when he said it, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down his shock.
Lu Xingyue came to his senses quickly and asked out of nowhere, "So you want to blow?"
"puff--"
"Cough cough cough cough cough -"
Shen Lansui almost squirted out and covered her mouth at the critical moment. As a result, she choked and turned her face away and coughed.
Lu Xingyue frowned slightly and looked at her innocently.
Shen Lansui finally managed to catch his breath, his eyes were red from coughing, and tears were stuck at the end of his eyes like broken stars.
She looked at Lu Xingyue with resentment, "Master Marquis, you really can't stop talking until you are shocked."
Lu Xingyue: "..."
"so you--"
"Don't brag!" Shen Lansui quickly interrupted him.
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said seriously: "If he has the ability, he should get in by himself, instead of relying on my sister to sacrifice her appearance to pave the way for him. Besides, if Jin Yiwei goes through the back door, do you really think that Jin Yiwei is your boss?"
Lu Xingyue's lips curled up slightly, "Didn't you tell them that I have been abandoned by His Majesty?"
Shen Lansui made a move and looked at him seriously, "Your leg will get better sooner or later, don't say anything depressing."
She said it so seriously that Lu Xingyue was slightly shaken. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and said, "Don't worry, if I really die, I won't delay you."
"I don't mean to dislike you."
After Shen Lansui finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence.
"Don't talk about these bad things, did you look at my second sister several times just now?" She stared at Lu Xingyue curiously.
Lu Xingyue raised his eyebrows, "You can see it so clearly?"
Shen Lansui: "Of course."
Lu Xingyue said nothing, his expression a little subtle.
Shen Lan later realized that there was something wrong with what she said, as if she was being sour and jealous.
"I just think she's a little strange." She quickly added, "How much did you hear what we said?"
"Xia Zi Yueyun heard it." Lu Xingyue slowly picked up the tea cup, but Shen Lansui felt that his heart was lifted by him.
This man is capable of whetting your appetite.
Lu Xingyue took a sip, put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile, "Or are you saying that you have always been the only one in your eyes and heart?"
Shen Lansui pinched her toes silently.
"None of this matters!"
She frowned and said, "They kept it from me before I got married. I didn't even know that I was getting married. It was my second sister who came over and told me that my husband was you and I wanted to marry you to celebrate. I thought she It was a kind intention, and she also told me some things about you, but I couldn't accept it for a while and almost committed suicide."
Lu Xingyue's eyes darkened, so he was still reluctant.
"She didn't mention it, and I almost forgot about it." Shen Lansui looked into Lu Xingyue's eyes, but he looked away.
He is not used to, or rather does not like, looking at people for long periods of time.
Shen Lansui discovered this and couldn't help but said: "Sanlang, look at me."
Lu Xingyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, "Huh?"
"No matter what happened in the past, I have never regretted it after marrying you." This was Shen Lansui's true thoughts.
Lu Xingyue didn't know whether he believed it or not. He just asked, "What's so strange?"
"It's just an intuition. I heard your footsteps before I said that. I don't know if she heard it too, but her so-called sweetheart is completely nonsense. My relationship with her is normal, and we are not close to each other. Why would she say this when we have nothing to talk about?"
Shen Lansui observed Lu Xingyue's expression. She rashly raised questions about Shen Xiyun, which was also a gamble. She wanted to know how much Lu Xingyue trusted her now.
"What do you think Saburo thinks?"
Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes and stared at the patterns on the ground, and nodded, "Intuition is not untrustworthy. If you feel uncomfortable, stay away from her in the future."
Shen Lan smiled: "Okay."
