Shen Dingzhu quickly invited Ling Feng into the house to drink tea and talk.
Ling Feng declined: "Thank you Shen Tongfang, but I won't drink the tea. Your Majesty ordered me to report back to you."
"I'm going to Mobei and successfully delivered the money to your parents. Mrs. Shen's old illness, coughing and asthma, broke out. Fortunately, the money was delivered in time. I had already taken the medicine when I left, so there should be no serious problem."
Shen Dingzhu almost cried with joy: "Okay, that's good."
Her mother was weak, especially after giving birth to three siblings, and she suffered from old illnesses.
Autumn has entered the capital, and it must be even colder in Mobei. With money at hand, I'm afraid it won't be too difficult for them.
Looking at her joy, Ling Feng thought for a while and said, "Master Shen left a letter, please bring it to you."
Shen Dingzhu's eyes were filled with great joy, and she stood up quickly: "Show me."
Ling Feng handed it to her with both hands. She couldn't wait to open it and saw that there were only four words -
【Don’t think about it if you are well】
The fingertips holding the letter trembled, and Shen Dingzhu's eyes were moist and red. His father must be in a very bad situation, but he could still say such words to persuade her to feel at ease.
Shen Dingzhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a smile came back to his pure and bright eyebrows: "Guard Ling, thank you for your hard work. My mother's old illness always relapses in the winter. The money sent this time is probably only enough. Her medicine money.”
"I will find a way to get the remaining silver and give it to you in the next two days. Please help me make a trip then so that they can have a good New Year."
The reward given by the queen is not easy to sell. If you want to exchange it for silver, you still have to exchange it with Xiao Langyan.
Ling Feng nodded: "Don't worry Shen Tongfang, the prince has already explained it. Even if you don't say it, I still have to go to Mobei again, but..."
Shen Dingzhu asked hurriedly: "Is there any difficulty?"
Only then did she notice that Ling Feng's face seemed a little solemn. Just now, she was only focused on happiness and didn't notice it at all.
Ling Feng said solemnly: "Master Shen broke his leg and may need a large sum of money to settle it."
Shen Dingzhu's face suddenly turned pale and he fell down on the stool.
Big brother... Big brother's leg is broken?
"I heard that while repairing the city wall, I was hit in the leg by a falling stone. The supervisor there said that he was lucky to be able to save his life. Originally, Mr. Shen didn't want to tell you because of his humble position, but the prince said that no matter how big or small, everything can be done. I have to report back, so I still tell the truth despite my humiliation."
Shen Dingzhu's heart tightened, and she felt a severe pain!
That was her eldest brother. On the day of the house raid, he protected her from the conflict with the officers and soldiers in order to prevent her from being used as a slave.
He is also a general with strong martial arts skills and is known as the Little God of War!
Now that his leg is broken, medical treatment is secondary. He is afraid that in a place of exile like Mobei, he has no value and the supervisors will drive him away directly.
No wonder that in his previous life, his eldest brother would die in the wilderness of Mobei, leaving only a mutilated body that had been torn apart by wolves. After the news reached the capital, Shen Dingzhu heard about his death. She was extremely sad but could do nothing.
She must not let her eldest brother be driven away by the supervisor, at least she must find a way to place him in Mobei.
"Guard Ling, my eldest brother's leg is broken. Where do he live with my parents now?"
"The exiled criminals have a special thatched house to live in, but the most urgent task is to persuade the supervisor to allow Mr. Shen to recuperate in the thatched house. But I heard that the supervisor there cannot be bribed with money."
The implication is that he is asking for help from Xiao Langyan again.
"Thank you, Guard Ling. You can go rest first and I'll think of a solution."
After Ling Feng resigned, Shen Dingzhu sat at the table blankly, with no light in his dark eyes, only a cold stare.
How should she talk to Xiao Langyan?
Asking Lingfeng to send money to Mobei was probably the limit of Xiao Langyan's kindness to her.
If he was allowed to use his connections to protect his eldest brother who had a broken leg, it would be equivalent to being completely involved in the convicted Shen family.
She can speak, but will Xiao Langyan agree?
Recalling her past life, she had already given her body to him, but whenever she mentioned her family in Mobei, Xiao Langyan would turn cold and refuse to answer.
What's more, this time, she didn't even become his concubine on the bed.
Shen Dingzhu pressed his eyebrows with a headache, and Shen Bi hurried in from the outside: "Miss, you are back."
She looked like she had something important to report, but seeing the sadness in Shen Dingzhu's eyes, she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, Miss?"
Shen Dingzhu shook his head: "I'm just thinking about how to make my parents and brother live a better life in Mobei. Shen Bi, what did you say when you came in just now?"
Shen Bi then lowered her voice: "While the lady was away from the house, I met Ruyan a few times. She has been very strange recently. She suddenly had a few pieces of precious jewelry on her body."
"The slave asked. She was still trying to hide her secrets, but she showed off to the slave that she would never marry the concierge's son. The slave saw that her face was red and she didn't know who she had hooked up with. There must be something in that charming look on her face. question."
Shen Dingzhu stretched out his thin white wrist to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea.
She was distracted, thinking that a maid like Yan would have to sacrifice herself to others in order to fight.
The tea mist covered her beautiful face. After a while, Shen Dingzhu said slowly: "That's good. Let's wait and see. Ruyan should surprise us."
"If you see her again, remember to flatter her and don't let her notice."
at night.
Xiao Langyan returned home, met Ling Feng in the study, and asked about Shen Dingzhu's family affairs.
His pair of deep thin eyes were like a waveless ancient well: "Did you tell her about her eldest brother's broken leg?"
"Say, Shen Tongfang looks very worried."
Xiao Langyan played with a piece of jade in his hand, his expression unpredictable.
If Shen Dingzhu is really related to the Xuanjia Army, then it will be easy to save someone in Mobei.
He just waited and saw what she would do.
The night was dark, and Xiao Langyan returned to the courtyard where he slept, only to see a thin figure wrapped in a thin coat and holding a lantern standing in the cold night.
There was a gloomy look in his thin eyes.
Shen Dingzhu's extremely thin sapphire blue coat outlined her slender waist, and the swaying lantern's dim light illuminated her white porcelain cheeks charmingly.
When a pair of loving eyes saw Xiao Langyan coming back, they showed joy that they had never experienced before.
"The prince is back," Xu Shou came in from the outside and whispered, "Shen Tongfang must wait here."
Xiao Langyan didn't need to guess when she came without calling him, he already knew what she wanted from him.
"Come in." Xiao Langyan's eyes were dark and he entered the room as usual.
Shen Dingzhu hurriedly picked up her skirt and followed in small steps. Xu Shou lit the charcoal fire and then stepped back. Shen Dingzhu stepped forward and skillfully took off Xiao Langyan's outer robe.
This time, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she hugged Xiao Langyan's waist from behind. The moment she leaned closer, Xiao Langyan's figure stiffened slightly.
He looked back and asked coldly: "What are you doing?"
Shen Dingzhu took off the thin belt around his waist, held it up and shook it. Her plump pink lips and beautiful eyes looked even more innocent: "I'll help you change."
Xiao Langyan looked at her calmly until the clothes were removed, and she took off her thin coat very wisely.
Unexpectedly, he was only wearing a thin inner garment, and the ties were loose, as if he could pull them apart with a single pull, revealing the infinite spring scenery.
Shen Dingzhu consciously hugged the heater and got on the inner couch.
In the past, she was as scared as if she were facing a savage beast when asked to serve him on the bed, but now she is willing to do so.
Xiao Langyan looked at her actions and sneered: "I am not in the mood tonight."
Shen Dingzhu sat up half-way, his black and silky black hair sliding down his shoulders.
She had a delicate appearance, and the ends of her slightly upturned eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried when she came.
Shen Dingzhu's voice was soft: "Then, if I ask for help from the prince, will the prince be interested?"
As she spoke, she knelt down in front of him, held his palm with both hands, put her pink cheek against it, and touched it gently like a kitten.
Xiao Langyan froze, and two clusters of black fire-like light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
