Chapter 61: Distressing
Li Shiqing's expression froze, and her eyes returned to their previous tranquility.
Shu Anhou sat opposite her, constantly brushing his beard to hide the nervousness in his heart, "Actually, Qing'er doesn't have to enter the palace with her, this matter-your eldest brother can't help it." β
Many witnesses pointed out that if you want to turn the tables, unless you come back from the dead.
The Marquis of Shu'an clenched his fists in grief, and now he only hoped that the letters found in the secret room would not be seen by the emperor, so that his title of the Marquis of Shu'an Mansion could at least be kept.
As for hereditary replacement-
It's not for nothing!
Li Shiqing poured a cup of tea for Shu Anhou, handed it to him, and said, "Father, did you already know about your eldest brother's habits?"
At the mention of his unsuccessful son, the muscles on Shu Anhou's face trembled, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were a little more wrinkled.
He took a sip of tea, swallowed the bad breath, and then said: "It's all bad for my father, I knew that he would commit such a heinous disaster, and I should have killed this evil obstacle as soon as possible." β
He said that he was resolute, and if he really did it, he would definitely be unbearable.
Li Shiqing has no doubt about this.
Otherwise, Shu Anhou and his wife would not often find excuses to go to Jiangnan to recuperate.
She just blamed Shu Anhou and Mrs. Hou for hiding it from her.
However, everything has happened, and it is useless to say anything, so I had to slow down and say to Shu Anhou: "Father, if there is such an unsightly thing in the future, you have to inform me, if I had known earlier, maybe my eldest brother would not have come to this end." β
Shu Anhou is most proud of giving birth to Li Shiqing's daughter.
When she was just born, there was a husband who criticized her and said that this woman was the phoenix among people and was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The implication is that Li Shiqing was born with a phoenix destiny and will be a queen in the future.
Li Shiqing's growth also gave him surprises again and again, since he was a child, he knew the general situation and etiquette, and when the first emperor was in power, he also praised her when she was a child.
When she grew up, she became the undisputed first talented woman in Kyoto in one fell swoop, which really added a lot of face to the Shu'an Hou Mansion.
God has opened a door for him, and he will close a window fairly.
His unassuming son - hey, for countless days and nights, Shu Anhou has been regretting why Li Shiqing is not a man.
is based on his attitude towards Li Shiqing, in addition to the father-daughter friendship, there is also a trace of adult respect and appreciation.
"It's my father's fault, but things like this must not happen to my Hou Mansion again."
Li Shiqing nodded and comforted: "Father, don't worry, I will also keep an eye on the actions of everyone in the Hou Mansion." β
While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived in front of the palace.
Li Shiqing sat quietly in the carriage and watched her father's decadent back walking into the arch, feeling distressed.
β¦β¦
Back in Ningfu, after a simple grooming, Shuang'er's originally delicate little face was revealed.
It's just that the eyes are still empty.
"Shuang'er, any perception from your body when I treat your eye disease, can't you mention it to others in the future?"
Shuang'er nodded like pounding garlic, she hadn't sat on the chair for a long time, she was too hard, and her body actually leaned forward and slid out of the chair.
Long Shan smiled and hugged Shuang'er, "You don't have to be like this, the girl is a friendly person, you can be more comfortable here." β
Frost nodded again.
Without further ado, Ning Shu wanted to restore Shuang'er's sight as soon as possible, so she immediately glanced at Long Shan and asked him to keep the door open.
Shuang'er sat on the chair and asked timidly, "The girl is ready to do it now?" β
"Yes, don't you want to?"
"No, it's not, I just wasn't preparedβ" Frost was so excited that she didn't know what to do, her weak and helpless appearance was almost like the two of them when she confronted Madame Qi on the street during the day.
Ning Shu patted her towering shoulder and comforted, "It is estimated that it will take seven days to fully recover, so you still can't see it for the time being, you don't have to be too nervous." β
As she spoke, she leaned over to level her gaze with Frost's eyes, gently flicking her eyelids.
At that moment, Shuang'er suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her eyes that was blinded by the wind and sand.
Immediately after that, the stinging pain swept wildly in the circles of her eyes, and the pain made her want to cry, but she still held back.
Because this pain is blissful and hopeful.
Ning Shu said lightly: "Bear with it, cry if you want to, it will last about a quarter of an hour." β
Frost shook her head, pursed her lips, and stared at her round eyes so stiffly.
Ning Shu sat on the side, and looked up to the little girl's forbearance.
In order to distract Shuang'er, Ning Shu casually asked, "How old are you this year?" β
"Fourteen soon."
"How did you not have any family?"
Shuang'er gritted her teeth and said, "They should all be there, it's just that I'm abandoned." β
"You were abandoned by them?" Ning Shu was surprised.
She thought that something had happened to Shuang'er's family, and only Shuang'er was left.
It turned out to be discarded.
Shuang'er said, "Yes, I was too young to remember anything clearly. I just remember that my hometown is a beautiful town, and there is an eldest sister who always holds me in her arms-"
Recalling the only remaining memories of that year, Shuang'er's heart-wrenching grief outweighed the stinging pain in her eyes, and her expression was somewhat calmer.
Ning Shu knew that these were superficial, and under Shuang'er's calm appearance, the fluctuations in her heart must have been grief-stricken.
She suddenly regretted distracting her by mentioning the past.
Fortunately, time passed quickly, and at this time, a flesh worm as thin as a hair slowly poked its head out of Frost'er's eyes.
Ning Shu stretched out his hand, and the Vientiane Gu pulled out the lower part of the body that remained in Shuang'er's eye sockets and flew towards Ning Shu's palm.
"Let's get here today, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Frost closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Thank you, girl." Frost - the slave will remember it for the rest of her life. β
Ning Shu looked at the distressing Shuang'er and smiled bitterly, asked Long Shan to enter the door, and took Shuang'er to rest.
Perhaps in the summer, the change of weather is improvised.
In the middle of the night, dark clouds slowly floated in the night sky, gradually swallowing up the stars and moonlight, and it was gloomy and gloomy outside the window.
After a few flashes of lightning and thunder, the torrential rain fell, clattering on the roof.
The wind blew open the window, and the creaking sound of the rain woke up the sleeping people on the couch.
Ning Shu suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the quilt and got up to the window, closed the window, and then turned around, and the room lit up.
Someone sat on a chair and casually threw out a coat to cover Ning Shu's head.
Ning Shu endured her anger and put on her coat and walked towards the man.
"It's raining so hard, why can't you say it tomorrow?"
She didn't even look at Xie Yunyan, and took the lampshade to cover the candle flame, making the light in the room dimer.
Xie Yunyan raised his eyebrows slightly, his slender and white fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, and said slowly: "I thought you wanted to know what kind of punishment Shu Anhou received." β
