Chapter 45: The Heart Is Depressed
Shu Qingyue's voice was not loud, but the words she said had a momentum that people couldn't resist.
Xiaoqing sat honestly on the chair.
Shu Qingyue walked out of the room, and when she came back, she grabbed some dried mint leaves. She put half of the mint leaves into the cup, then poured warm water, the dried mint leaves slowly stretched out after encountering the water, Shu Qingyue picked up the soft leaves and put them in the palm of her hand, and rubbed them in both palms until they were crumpled into a puree.
"Raise the right side of your face a little higher." Shu Qingyue stood to Xiaoqing's right and said to Xiaoqing.
"Miss Shu, I'll apply it myself." Xiaoqing didn't dare to bother Shu Qingyue, but seeing Shu Qingyue's insistence, in desperation, she could only raise her right cheek.
Shu Qingyue's left palm was attached to the leaf mud, and she rubbed it little by little with her right index finger, and then gently applied it to Xiaoqing's face until the right half of Xiaoqing's face was coated with mint leaves.
"Is there any better?" Shu Qingyue asked Xiaoqing.
"It's cool and comfortable." Xiaoqing said.
"That's good."
About half an hour, Shu Qingyue used water to help Xiaoqing wash the leaf mud on her face. After applying the mint, the redness and swelling on the right side of Xiaoqing's face was lighter than before, but it was still obvious, and it was conceivable that Huo Yunyang slapped Xiaoqing on the face with a lot of force. It's just a maid, why bother with such a heavy hand?
"Miss Shu, don't sue Marshal for this matter." Xiaoqing pleaded with Shu Qingyue worriedly.
"I don't say it." Shu Qingyue said.
"Miss Shu, you are a good person!" Xiaoqing said gratefully.
"There's still some mint leaves here, apply it yourself when you're empty." Shu Qingyue gave all the remaining mint leaves to Xiaoqing. "I'm fine, you go down first."
"I'll come back later." Xiaoqing said and went out.
In the room, Shu Qingyue was cleaning the cup she had just used.
Outside the room, Ning Sichen came back from outside and happened to see Xiaoqing coming out of Shu Qingyue's room.
"I've seen the marshal." Xiaoqing lowered her face and respectfully addressed Ning Sichen.
"Go ahead." Ning Sichen said.
When Xiaoqing walked past Ning Sichen, Ning Sichen inadvertently saw Xiaoqing's red and swollen right face, what happened to Xiaoqing's face? Ning Sichen was suspicious, and he immediately turned sideways, but Xiaoqing had already hurried away.
Ning Sichen turned around, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the room where Shu Qingyue lived, the door was closed at this time, and it was quiet inside.
"Knock, knock, knock," Ning Sichen walked to the front of the room and knocked on the door a few times.
"Come in." Shu Qingyue's voice came from the room.
Ning Sichen pushed the door in, and Shu Qingyue sat at the tea table, drinking tea and eating pastries.
"What's wrong with Xiaoqing's face?" He asked her.
"This girl, who doesn't look at the road when she does things, accidentally bumped into the screen when she was picking up clothes for me. I've already dressed her with mint leaves, and she'll be fine in a day or two. Shu Qingyue said casually, she hid the fact that Xiaoqing was beaten. This matter is a big problem, not only will it harm Xiaoqing, but it will not do Shu Qingyue any benefit herself.
Even if Huo Yunyang is arrogant and unreasonable, even if Ning Sichen is dissatisfied with what Huo Yunyang has done, he will definitely not really do anything to Huo Yunyang, about this, Shu Qingyue is still very clear in his heart.
As for the relationship between Ning Sichen and Huo Yunyang? So far, Shu Qingyue has not figured it out.
On the other side, Ning Sichen was suspicious of Shu Qingyue's words.
Shu Qingyue didn't care about Ning Sichen's suspicious gaze, even if he went to investigate, but in the end, this matter would definitely be over, and this was the reality.
Ning Sichen didn't continue to ask, he knew the situation in this mansion better than anyone else, as long as he thought about it a little, he could think of what was going on.
Huo Yunyang!
Ning Sichen was thoughtful, Shu Qingyue didn't speak, and the room fell silent all of a sudden.
"General Ning's face is gloomy, but he has not been sleeping enough recently, and his liver is stagnation?" Shu Qingyue broke the silence first.
Ning Sichen withdrew his senses, looked at Shu Qingyue again, and met her with a pair of shining eyes. At this moment, she was looking at him with great interest, and her eyes seemed to be looking at some rare treasure.
For Shu Qingyue, he is not a "rare treasure".
"Miss Shu's medical skills are really clever, just by looking at her complexion, she can diagnose the disease." Ning Sichen said.
She naturally knew that he didn't go back to the room until late at night every night, and he went out very early the next day, so he definitely didn't sleep much, and the intricate relationship between her and him, Shufu, and Ningfu was also untidy and messy.
"As far as Miss Shu can see, how can I be cured of this disease?" Ning Sichen said again, but there was something in his words.
Most of the depression in his heart was caused by her.
