Chapter 55: Returning to the Door

Early the next morning, Situ Youning was woken up by an exclamation in the courtyard, the white bandage wrapped around her neck, most of the place had been infected with dark red dried blood, she opened her eyes slightly, and tried to make a sound, but the tremor made the neck wound painful, remembering the cold feeling of the sword blade on her neck last night, Situ Youning still had palpitations, if the wound was a little deeper, she would definitely die on the spot.

"Brother, when did this place become so luxurious?"

Looking for Feng Yaoyi's shout, Situ Youning opened the door, only to see the figures of the two brothers and sisters of the Feng family standing in the courtyard, and when they saw Situ Youning, their expressions were completely different.

The yard that was still in tatters yesterday morning is now full of vitality, there are a few leaves lying sporadically with the wind on the clean stone path, and the rhododendrons are planted on both sides, the whole yard is filled with a smell of earth, the verdant green leaves cover the tattered place of the pavilion on the right side of the courtyard, there is a delicate incense burner and a set of purple sand tea sets on the stone table in the pavilion, four purple orchids blooming with lilac flowers, the pavilion stands around the pavilion, and the other three stone benches next to the stone table have disappeared, On the left side of the courtyard is a three-tiered carved wooden shelf, on which a broom and a kitchen knife are placed, and there is a large pit between the shelf and the stone road, and the doors, windows and walls of the house are all newly painted with red dye, the doors and windows are hung with pearls and jade pendants, and there is a plaque hanging above the main entrance, on which the words 'Youningju' are engraved crookedly.

Except for the broom, the kitchen knife, and the big pit, the whole courtyard looked a lot more elegant and beautiful, Situ Youning looked back at the exquisite decoration in the room, and couldn't help but begin to admire himself, he was able to change this place to this place in one day.

"Sister-in-law Youning, is your wound better?" Seeing Situ Youning's pale cheeks, Feng Yaoyi stepped forward and greeted with concern.

"It's fine." As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Yumo proudly.

Feng Yumo put his right hand behind his back, hiding the imperceptible self-reproach between his eyebrows, "This is your masterpiece?" โ€

"Back to the words of the prince, exactly." That smug look was a clear declaration, 'It's too much in line with Miss Ben's temperament.' โ€™

"Messy." Feng Yumo said calmly, and glanced at the luxurious ornaments that collided with each other in the wind with disgust, "Where did these things of yours come from?" โ€

Listening to Feng Yumo's question, Situ Youning instantly froze in place, and a chill hit his vest.

"Sister-in-law Youning, what frightened you last night, right?" Feng Yaoyi, who couldn't understand the conversation between the two, diverted the topic.

"Fright?" Saying that, he glanced at Feng Yumo, so why not be frightened? It's just thriller.

"When the housekeeper was inspecting the palace this morning, he found that there were a lot of valuable things missing in the palace, and there must have been a thief who sneaked into the palace last night, and I was still worried about whether the shameless thief had come to you?"

The innocence and sincerity on Feng Yaoyi's face made Situ Youning even more unable to open his mouth, and Feng Yumo couldn't hold back his laughter.

"I didn't expect that there would be a thief in the palace?" As he spoke, his eyes became as sharp as the weather.

"You just told me to clean up here, but you didn't say you wouldn't let me do it!" Situ Youning hurriedly said.

"Really? Then the theft of the palace is the king's fault? Feng Yumo said every word very clearly, obviously really angry.

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ After staring at Feng Yumo for a few seconds, Situ Youning really didn't dare to refute anymore, grabbed Feng Yaoyi's arm and covered his neck, "Ouch, my neck seems to be broken." โ€

"Sister-in-law Youning, I'll help you in and take a rest, and let someone come over immediately." As he spoke, he helped Situ Youning into the house.

The next thing Situ Youning faced was the interrogation of the two siblings, of course, the content of the interrogation was about the woman in the painting, because she fainted last night, so she had to make up some irrelevant things about the woman improvised, until the doctor arrived, and the two let her go.

According to the agreement, Feng Yumo accompanied Situ Youning back to Situ's house the next day, which Situ Youning had been looking forward to for a long time, as long as she was allowed to return to Situ Mansion, she would definitely have a way to escape from Feng Yumo's clutches.

After dressing up carefully, Situ Youning changed into a dark green dress sent by Feng Yumo, the collar of the dress was very high, just enough to cover the scars on Situ Youning's neck, put on a pair of white jade earrings, put the dagger given to her by Situ Chenfeng on her waist, and followed Feng Yumo out of the door.

This is not the first time that she has ridden in a sedan chair with Feng Yumo, but at this time, Situ Youning's mood is completely different from before, from beginning to end, her eyes are all on the crowd on the street outside the sedan chair, on the one hand, because she is a little ashamed of dressing up the courtyard, and on the other hand, because she seems to have not come out for a long time to breathe in the fresh air, and the days of staying in the palace are more boring than Situ Mansion, and she is frightened everywhere in the boredom.

But not long after the sedan chair set off, Situ Youning completely left the shame, anger and fear in his heart behind, and looked at what was happening on the street with a smile on his face.

"You drunk, where did you go yesterday?"

"Have you heard? Last night, Lifeng Tower was seized, and the proprietress Liji was also taken away. โ€

"Brother, where are we going to play today?"

"Buns! Fresh hot buns! โ€

"This is my stall, you pack up your things and get out of here!"

Looking at this scene happening on the street, Situ Youning couldn't help laughing, his eyes were looking around with a smile, while Feng Yumo was watching her back without saying a word.

When the sedan chair saw the familiar figure standing at the door of Situ Mansion, the smile on Situ Youning's face disappeared, and it was still those familiar figures, which had been like this since childhood, whenever they sneaked out to play and came back from receiving grievances, they were always waiting there.

Shen Jiayan obviously had tears in her eyes, and looked at her daughter helplessly, if she could, she really wanted to step forward to see if she was unharmed, Situ Shaoqi and Situ Chenfeng's faces were very bad, but because Feng Yumo's identity was not too obvious, her eyes were full of pity for her sister.

Because of Feng Yumo's arrival in the mansion, Situ Muling and Situ Hao were also standing in the greeting team today, and at this time, the hatred for Situ Muling in Situ Youning's heart disappeared.

There was a tingling pain in her neck, and the grievances she suffered in the palace appeared in her mind, and suddenly her nose was sore, and tears overflowed in her eyes, but at this distance, it was difficult for the people of the Situ family to observe, if she could, she also wanted to cry and get into Shen Jiayan's arms like before.
