Chapter 44: Beaten

What he was most worried about was the grudge between his sister and Shu Fu that could not be resolved. His sister hates the people of Shu Mansion to the core, and will definitely kill them all, Shu Qingyue is Shu Shengxuan's daughter, and she will not allow his sister to do whatever she wants in Chu Huiguo. Between his sister and Shu Qingyue, it is foreseeable that there will be a dispute in the future. That was the last thing Ning Sichen wanted to see, whether it was his sister or Shu Qingyue, he didn't want them to be hurt again. But he was powerless to stop it.

War is really harmful. Its existence is itself a kind of fault.

Ning Sichen returned to the East Garden very late.

In the East Garden, the lights in the middle room were on and dimmed. In the room on the far right, Shu Qingyue, who was sleeping, slowly opened her eyes in the dark.

She is intelligent, so she is destined to carry more and more than the others.

Following.

When Shu Qingyue woke up, it was already dawn.

Today seemed to be cooler than yesterday, she added an extra piece of clothing, dressed up, and then, she walked to the dresser, sat down, and a shallow face was reflected in the rhombic bronze mirror. Shu Qingyue was born white, her skin was whiter than snow, green silk, Dai Mei, a pair of eyes were as clear as a pool of clear water, Yao nose and cherry lips, her appearance was not natural, but her delicate face was very comfortable to look at. She simply combed her hair in a bun, and when she put down the comb, she saw the rouge gouache on the table, she stared at the box of gouache for a long time, as if thinking about something, and finally, she still picked up the gouache box, but Shu Qingyue only smeared a shallow layer on her face.

Suddenly hearing the chirping of birds outside, Shu Qingyue got up and pushed open the wooden window behind the dresser, the window was wide open, and the cool wind was blowing in her face, and she couldn't help but shiver. She looked in the direction of a large tree in the courtyard, and two small birds were frolicking carefree on the branches, which was a rare scene in early winter.

Shu Qingyue walked out of the room, the floor of the courtyard was wet, and the flowers and plants in the flower garden still had undried raindrops, it rained last night?

The birds on the branches made a little more noise and flew away.

Shu Qingyue looked at the room where Ning Sichen lived, the doors and windows were closed, did he not get up, or did he go out again?

The early morning wind was very cold, and Shu Qingyue only stayed outside for a while before returning to her room. She closed the door, walked over to the tea table, and poured a cup of tea, originally wanting to drink hot tea to warm up, but the overnight tea had already cooled down. Shu Qingyue then remembered that Xiaoqing hadn't been here today. It's already three o'clock, if a few days ago, Xiaoqing had already sent tea and pastries. Shu Qingyue was not hungry, she didn't think much about Xiaoqing's non-arrival.

After that, she moved to the desk, grinding, lifting the pen, and when the tip of the pen was still a few millimeters away from the paper, her hand suddenly stopped, and she did not put down the pen for a long time, she had a lot of things in her heart, and she did not know what to write for a while. It wasn't until the ink beads dripped down the tip of the pen on the rice paper, and the thick black ink melted on the paper, that she followed the drop of ink and wrote down one stroke at a time, "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny?" "Is the Tao sunny but sunny? Shu Qingyue silently recited the latter sentence in her heart, from the poem, she thought of Ning Sichen, she and him, the Tao is ruthless but affectionate?

Near noon, Xiaoqing finally came, but the right side of her face was red and swollen.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with your face?" Shu Qingyue asked Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing subconsciously touched her right cheek with her hand, which seemed to be in pain, and she immediately took her hand away again.

"Yes, yes, I accidentally bumped it in the morning." Xiaoqing pinned her red and swollen face to the other side, she didn't look at Shu Qingyue squarely, and said in a hesitant voice, as if she was hiding something. "I'm clumsy, bumping into it is a common thing, it's not in the way, Miss Shu doesn't have to take it to heart."

Bumped? As far as Shu Qingyue can see, it's not like a collision, it's more like being beaten. Xiaoqing has a simple personality, not like the kind of person who will offend people, so who will beat her?

"Xiaoqing, you tell the truth." Shu Qingyue had already guessed a few points.

"Miss Shu, don't ask." Xiaoqing was embarrassed.

"It's Princess Yunyang." Shu Qingyue said.

"Yes, yes, I didn't pay attention to the road, so I bumped into the princess, and I just took a slap in the face, and the punishment was already very light. Miss Shu, it's really fine, it'll be fine in a day or two. Being said by Shu Qingyue, Xiaoqing's body couldn't help but tremble, she seemed to be very afraid of Huo Yunyang, and then, Xiaoqing explained vigorously, for fear of making things bigger.

"Xiaoqing, I'm just asking, I won't tell General Ning." Shu Qingyue knew what Xiaoqing was afraid of, Xiaoqing was afraid that she would tell Ning Sichen about this matter, and Ning Sichen would go to blame Huo Yunyang again, Huo Yunyang was angry, and he would definitely settle the account on Xiaoqing when he turned around, and Xiaoqing would be sad in the future. It is this kind of worry that Huo Yunyang is the kind of person who will repay him, so Xiaoqing will swallow his anger and dare not say it. Those who are subordinate are often involuntarily.

Shu Qingyue didn't know if Xiaoqing really bumped into Huo Yunyang, or did Huo Yunyang use the excuse to embarrass her? However, Shu Qingyue did not continue to ask.

"You sit here, I'll ask someone to take some mint leaves, and apply mint leaves to your face, and the redness and swelling will disappear faster." Shu Qingyue said to Xiaoqing.

"Miss Shu, I'm really fine." Xiaoqing didn't want to trouble Shu Qingyue.

"Sit well." Shu Qingyue changed her stern expression and said to Xiaoqing.
