"This is a jade balm, and it is applied to the face after cleansing it every day." Shen Qian handed over two small porcelain bottles, the turquoise and transparent porcelain bottles looked comfortable, Meng Xiaoran took them, "Can I apply medicine now?" ”

She hopes to apply it now, and she can reduce the swelling tomorrow, although she doesn't have any love for beauty, but she doesn't want to see people with such a face, Shen Qian was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly took a porcelain bottle and said, "I'll take medicine for you." ”

After saying this, both of them were stunned for a moment, Shen Qian didn't know how he could say such a thing, but since he had already said it, he naturally wouldn't take it back, he coughed lightly and said, "There is no mirror here, you can't take medicine yourself, or I'll help you." ”

Meng Xiaoran had no choice but to nod, Shen Qian poured some medicine between his fingers, and carefully applied it to her face, the green paste exuded a fresh fragrance, and it was cold and cold on her face, very comfortable, Meng Xiaoran sighed secretly in her heart, and her originally swollen and uncomfortable face seemed to be much more comfortable.

"The swelling will go down tomorrow, and you will continue to apply it until it finally heals, so you can guarantee that there will be no scars." Shen Qian admonished, at this time he still had some unreal feelings, and the fingers that applied the medicine for her seemed to still have her residual warmth, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Shen Gongzi, can Xiaochun of the Prime Minister's Mansion be trusted?"

Shen Qian came back to his senses, and then nodded, "Xiaochun is also the internal response I arranged to go in, responsible for delivering news, if you have anything to find me in the future, you can send me a letter through her." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, there were too many things that happened on this day, she always felt that she seemed to have something important missing, and after thinking for a long time, she suddenly looked at Shen Qian, her brows furrowed, "I forgot to tell you, I saw Lu Ziqing in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

Shen Qian looked at her suspiciously, "Lu Ziqing? He is the son of the Admiral of Jiumen, the nephew of Liu Yingyuan's original wife, and now lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"I know this, the point is that I've seen him before, and he seems to recognize me." Meng Xiaoran said with some concern.

Shen Qian's face was solemn, "You said you had seen him before, where was it?" ”

Meng Xiaoran pulled himself into the mansion after he came out of the restaurant and was mistakenly identified, and said again about meeting Lu Ziqing, Shen Qian fell into deep thought when he heard this, and it took a long time for him to speak, "He immediately recognized you when he saw you?" After you pretend you don't know, can he say anything more? ”

Meng Xiaoran shook his head, "No, but I always feel that he is not so easy to fool, today's incident is thanks to him, if he hadn't come over in time to intercede for me, I'm afraid I would have been beaten with thirty boards......"

Shen Qian's face changed greatly, "Thirty boards? Was it ordered by Liu Ruxue? ”

At this time, Shen Qian's mood was very complicated, he may have thought too simple before, but he didn't expect the water in Xiangfu to be so deep? Thirty boards are undoubtedly fatal for a woman, if she is really beaten with thirty boards today, then what is her previous promise?

He had obviously promised her that he would save her life, but today it was so dangerous, but he couldn't save her, he didn't know why he was so unhappy when he heard such news, maybe it was because Meng Xiaoran was his subordinate, but he almost died in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was undoubtedly a shame for him.

Meng Xiaoran didn't know about Shen Qian's psychological changes at the moment, she shook her head, "It's Liu Yingyuan." ”

Liu Zhengyuan has always been ruthless, and he is also known for his love for his eldest daughter, so it is not surprising to give such an order in order to make his daughter angry.

Shen Qian didn't speak again, he was silent for a long time, and then said after a while: "Lu Ziqing saved you today, but we don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend for the time being, but it seems that he should have no malicious intent at present, let's hold on to the ground and see what he does in the future." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, she picked up the medicine on the table and stood up, "I should go back." ”

Shen Qian nodded, after she left, he blew out the light but didn't leave, he still sat there, and only got up and left after a long time.

At this time, there was still a faint light in Mo Yuzhai's study, everyone was accustomed to it, the young master had always loved to read, and he came to the capital this time to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and it was not strange to read every night.

But at this time, Lu Ziqing was not as everyone thought, he was sitting at his desk, and there was a man in black kneeling on the ground not far from him.

"Zi Shi went out? Just came back? Lu Ziqing touched her chin, frowned and pondered, "But who did you see she go to meet?" ”

"Soon after she went out, there were many secret guards around her to protect her all the way, and her subordinates didn't dare to continue to follow for fear of being discovered." The man in black replied.

Lu Ziqing nodded thoughtfully, "You go down, keep an eye on her these days, and be sure to find out her details." ”

"Yes!"

The man in black left quietly, without attracting anyone's attention, Lu Ziqing thought back to what happened today, and a trace of coldness crossed his eyes.

Chen, dare to use him again and again? Xia Ruhua was beaten today and must have nothing to do with her, it seems that it is time to teach her some lessons.

There is also Liu Ruxue's cousin, and Liu Yingyuan, the old fox, Lu Ziqing frowned, reached out and pressed his somewhat sour eyes, sighing in his heart, he really didn't want to deal with this father and daughter anymore, he could only hope that the matter would end soon.

On the morning of the second day, the first thing Xiao Cui did when she got up was to look at Meng Xiaoran, who was sleeping opposite, and saw that her face had been swollen, and immediately relieved herself, at this time there were only some interlaced red marks left on her face, although it was still terrifying, but it was much better than yesterday.

I don't know what kind of purpose it was, Chen actually ordered it down yesterday to let Meng Xiaoran rest for a few days, and Madame's order, the big kitchen naturally didn't dare to slack off, so Meng Xiaoran got a few days of rest, and it happened that Aunt Hu was almost good after being beaten by the board, and came back to continue to do things.

Aunt Hu cooked some more blood swallow porridge, and Chen had to drink a cup of blood swallow every day, and there was an advantage to doing things in the big kitchen, that is, you could quietly eat some good things behind the master, as long as you didn't overdo it, the master would generally turn a blind eye.

Today's blood swallow porridge, Aunt Hu did not leave it to Xiao Cui, but asked her to send it to Meng Xiaoran, Xiao Cui naturally didn't say a word, quietly put it in the food box, and sent it over with lunch.

When Meng Xiaoran picked up this bowl of blood swallows, surprise flashed in her eyes, although she had never eaten them, but the blood swallows had seen them, she looked at Xiao Cui and asked, "Xiao Cui, did Mrs. Shi eat this blood swallow?" In the future, let Aunt Hu not do this, it will not be good for Mrs. to know. ”

Xiao Cui smiled and said indifferently: "My mother often makes more, and I have eaten it many times, sister, don't worry, it's okay, you drink it while it's hot, and make up for your body." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled and didn't speak again, she drank the porridge with a bowl, but she couldn't eat anything else, her mouth was full of wounds, and she could only drink some porridge at this time, I am afraid that Aunt Hu also thought of this, so she secretly gave her this blood swallow.

Although Liu Ruxue is a deep lady, it can be said that there is no more nourishing eldest lady in the entire Yujing City, not only because of her noble status, but also because of her favor for her.

On this day, Liu Ruxue heard that the Treasure Pavilion had new jewelry, so she took a few personal maids out of the house together, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been a frequent visitor to the Treasure Pavilion, yes, when Liu Ruxue's carriage just stopped at the door, there was a little two to welcome out, Liu Ruxue with a hat in Xia He and Qiu Lu supported off the carriage.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor, the private room is specially prepared for these rich and powerful people, and the young lady of the big family will naturally not squeeze down with others to see, there are all kinds of tea and snacks in the private room, and Xiao Er brought the latest style over for him to choose.

Jumbo Pavilion is the most famous jewelry shop in Yujing City, there are many styles inside, and very novel, and most importantly, there is only one style of jewelry here, which woman doesn't want her jewelry to be the only one? Therefore, this treasure pavilion is very popular with the young ladies and ladies in Yujingcheng, basically every time there is a new style, it will be quickly sold out.

Treasure Pavilion came to a new style yesterday, this is the second time this month out of a new style, although everyone is puzzled but happy, so Liu Ruxue will come over today, looking at the exquisite and colorful jewelry in the tray, she simply can't put it down, and finally picked a lot, and returned with a full load.

Liu Ruxue only took Xia He and Qiu Lu when she went out today, and Dongshuang stayed in Ruxue Pavilion to take charge, Chun Ya was injured a few days ago, and she has been recuperating from her injuries for the past few days, Liu Ruxue is too lazy to see her, at this moment she is sitting in the carriage with two maids, and her face is rarely a little happy.

"Miss finally has a smile, Miss has been on her mind these days, and the slave maid is uncomfortable when she looks at it." Qiu Lu said with a smile on the side, Liu Ruxue raised her eyebrows, "Yes, there are so many bad things, how can I be happy?" Fortunately, the Treasure Pavilion has a new style at this time, and I am in a much better mood when I see these beautiful jewelry. ”

Xia He lowered his head on the side, his eyes flashed, and then he raised his head with a smile, "Yes, this Treasure Pavilion usually has a new style on the first day of every month, but now it is only fifteen and it has come out again, which is strange, but the jewelry here is indeed exquisite, every time Miss wears it out, the ladies of other families are not to mention how envious they are, and the eyeballs are almost sticking to Miss's head." ”

Saying that, the two maids laughed softly, Liu Ruxue's face was colorful, and she was very comfortable to be flattered by the two maids, and suddenly there was a violent shaking, Liu Ruxue leaned forward unprepared, but fortunately grabbed Xia He's hand and was not fallen.

"What's going on?" Liu Ruxue was shocked and asked loudly.

The guy who was driving the car outside was also half frightened, and his voice trembled, "Big ...... Miss, this horse seems to have been stimulated and did not listen to the call......"

As he spoke, the carriage shook violently again, and the horse in front of the carriage seemed to be running forward quickly, and the pedestrians on the road were very surprised when they saw it and avoided it, "That's not the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what's the matter?" ”
