The room is dim and the figures are longing.
Bai Yu'an was silent for a long time, then narrowed his eyes slightly, raised a hand to rub his brow, and when he put his hand down again, the fatigue on his face had disappeared.
She asked Ah Tao to pour a cup of hot tea. When Ah Tao brought it over, she held the warm tea cup in her hand and took a slow sip.
The steaming mist hit his face, and his complexion returned to normal.
Bai Yu'an looked at Bai Yuanqing opposite him. Seeing the worry in his eyes, he smiled softly: "My cousin is worried."
Bai Yuanqing was anxiously waiting for Bai Yu'an to speak. When he saw that someone finally spoke, it was such a nonchalant sentence that he couldn't help but become even more anxious.
Putting his hands on his knees, Bai Yuanqing leaned slightly towards Bai Yuan and said hurriedly: "Now I heard that Shen Chieffu is taking care of the government affairs. You offended Shen Chieffu today, what should you do in the future?" manage?"
"That's really someone you can't mess with. I was scared when I saw Chief Shen's face when he came out just now."
Bai Yuanqing said with a worried look on his face: "Yu'an, what happened tonight, so that I can work with you to figure it out."
Bai Yu'an saw the worried look on Bai Yuanqing's face. The expression on his face was still gentle and peaceful, and he didn't show any other emotions.
She pursed her lips and smiled at Bai Yuanqing: "Don't worry, cousin. There is just some misunderstanding between me and Chief Shen tonight. I made it clear to Chief Shen just now."
"He is so busy with government affairs that he has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters today."
Bai Yuanqing couldn't help but asked after hearing this: "Is this still a small matter today?"
"Then where did the injury on Shen Shoufu's neck come from? Where did the injury on your body come from?"
"Then why are the guards around Chief Shen pointing their swords at you?!"
Bai Yu'an listened calmly to Bai Yuanqing's eager questioning. After listening, she said softly: "Shoufu Shen put something here before. When he came to pick it up just now, he accidentally got scratched by the hairpin in my hair."
"The guards waiting outside thought I had injured Chief Shen, so they drew their swords."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an looked at Bai Yuanqing with a slight smile on his face: "Cousin, think about it, if I really hurt Chief Shen, how could Chief Shen let the guard back out?"
Bai Yuanqing was dubious, then pointed at Bai Yuan's leg and said, "Then what's the matter with the injury on your leg?"
Bai Yu'an said: "This injury was scratched when I was in the palace."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an sighed slightly: "It's a pity, A Tao just gave me the medicine before going to bed."
A Tao said at this time: "The injuries on the young master's body were indeed sustained when the slave brought the young master back from the palace."
Seeing Bai Yuan speak so calmly, Bai Yuanqing felt relieved.
He softened his tone and said to Bai Yu'an: "Yu'an, you really can't offend a noble person like Shen Shoufu."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid my family will be affected."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "My cousin is worrying too much. I don't need to think too much about tonight's matter. It's better to go to bed quickly."
Bai Yuanqing suddenly thought of something again. Shen Chief Fu came to Yu'an to get something in the middle of the night?
This is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
Bai Yu'an glanced at Bai Yuanqing, and saw that the other person was hesitant to speak, leaning forward and supporting his forehead, and said tiredly: "I'm tired too. If my cousin has anything to say, it won't be too late to talk tomorrow."
"I have to be on duty tomorrow."
Bai Yuanqing saw that Bai Yu'an's downcast face seemed tired, and the shadows in his eyes were slightly dark. Looking at the deep night outside, it was indeed inconvenient to stay any longer.
Then he nodded and stood up, and said to A Tao: "It's a good idea to put some plaster on Yu'an's wound."
Seeing A Tao respond, he left.
As soon as Bai Yuanqing left, Bai Yu'an's shoulders slumped and he let out a long breath.
A Tao hurriedly brought in a basin of hot water, placed the basin on the stool, squatted down and put Bai Yu'an's feet in his arms, rolling up his trouser legs little by little.
Bai Yu'an lifted her legs and put them on the high stool. She still put her hands on her forehead. She lowered her eyes and watched the movements of A Tao's hands. She said softly: "A Tao, I'm a little tired from being an official."
A Tao paused with his hand, turned to look at Bai Yu'an and said, "Why did the young master suddenly say such a thing?"
Bai Yu'an closed her eyes: "As an official, instead of being frightened and walking on thin ice every day, it's better to feel at ease back home."
A Tao silently turned around and twisted the handkerchief to wipe the blood on Bai Yuan's leg: "Master, is it because of Gu Yiyi?"
Bai Yuan was silent.
Then he vomited: "Not entirely."
A Tao asked: "What else is there?"
Bai Yu'an spoke calmly: "I'm just tired."
A Tao was also silent.
But she knows that the young master has been studying since he was a child, and all the master's efforts have been devoted to the young master. If he said that he would not be an official, then he would not be an official. Then wouldn't all the hard work of studying before be in vain.
She didn't know what to say, she just wanted to stay with Bai Yu'an.
The wound in front of him opened slightly again. A Tao carefully applied the medicine and suddenly asked: "Is the wound on Shen Shoufu's neck today really an accidental scratch?"
Bai Yu'an smiled helplessly: "A Tao doesn't believe it?"
A Tao shook his head: "I don't think a person like Shen Shoufu would be so careless."
Bai Yu'an smiled and said nothing. Seeing A Tao finish applying the medicine, he sat up using the armrest.
A Tao brought the basin to Bai Yu'an: "Master, wash your hands."
Only then did Bai Yu'an notice the blood stained on his fingers. He stared at it for a few times before putting it in the basin.
The water in the basin was still hot, and the heat spread from the fingertips to the whole body. My body was slightly warm, so I wiped my hands and walked to the bed.
The bed was in a mess, and Bai Yu'an's clothes were also dirty. A Tao watched Bai Yu'an fall on the bed, and quickly went over and said, "Young master, you should wait until the slaves change the sheets before sleeping."
"I have also changed my clothes, so I can wash them tomorrow."
Bai Yu'an pulled off the quilt and covered himself with it, half of his face buried in the quilt: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's troublesome to change now."
A Tao looked at Bai Yuan's tired look, sighed and sat on the edge of the bed: "At least I changed my clothes."
"It's stained with blood, can you sleep in it?"
Normally, Bai Yu'an wouldn't be able to sleep.
The pajamas on her body were dirty and she felt uncomfortable all over. But at this moment, Bai Yuan was very tired and her mind was still thinking about the events of the past few days. She turned over and left A Tao with a delicate figure from her back, which was blurry. A voice came: "You're sleeping."
Seeing Bai Yu'an like this, A Tao seemed really tired, and he had to be on duty tomorrow, so he might as well go to bed early, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
A Tao got up and went to cover someone with a quilt and put down the curtain. When A Tao saw that Bai Yu'an didn't move at all, she seemed to be asleep, she turned around and walked out.
