Chapter 21

Zheng Qianyu was completely oblivious. She pointed at Shen Hua and cleared her throat.

“Hey, she’s the prettiest.”

Then, she pretended to be reserved and tapped her little round face.

“I come in second.”

Zheng Qianyu could never fight her desire to eat. While other women ate half a meal, she could eat three plates of rice.

Fortunately, though she ate a lot, she was not fat. She just was not that slim.

Zheng Qianyu was nothing compared to the beautiful women Ji He had seen before, but she was much more likable.

As for the other one, she was plagued by a cruel illness. Her entire body felt powerless and broken.

The corner of Ji He’s eyes twitched, and he laughed so hard that his lower abdomen hurt. Cui Yun, on the other hand, was like a young master, with a faint smile on his lips. He looked like the untouchable moon in the sky.

The carriage entered the city and headed to the nearest medical center.

This was the most bustling street in Fengzhou City. There was an endless stream of tourists. To be on the safe side, the horses slowed down. The people inside the carriage could now hear the chatter outside.

“That Shen Hua is a mischievous person. In my opinion, her stepbrother and stepmother are in the right. Why should we care about her?”

When Cui Yun heard Shen Hua’s name, he could not help but listen attentively.

“Right? Once, I saw her fighting people on the street. Even a three-year-old street child knows basic manners. She uses the fact that she is Shen Wei’s daughter and that the embroidery workshop is internationally famous to act atrociously. It’s better for such a worrisome woman to die early so that she won’t harm others. ”

“She’s already plagued by a serious illness. She might not live for more than a few years.”

Ji He frowned. Last year, when the Empress was celebrating her birthday, the screen that he gave her was from the Shen family’s embroidery workshop and was completed by over thirty embroidery girls over the period of a year.

After hearing this, his impression of her was negatively affected.

“The Shen family’s embroidery is good, but they do not know how to educate their daughter.”

Zheng Qianyu was not happy.

Shen Hua did fight someone on the streets, but it was the other party who started it.

Why? Did she not get a say in her mistreatment because her family was famous?

In the eyes of the world, was everything Shen Hua did out of line?

Zheng Qianyu did not dare reprimand Ji He, but she tried to save Shen Hua’s reputation.

“Young Master, please don’t listen to those one-sided comments.”

She sighed and squeezed out a tear. “Shen Hua is exceptionally pitiful.” Her tone was so heavy that it made one’s heart ache.

“Her relatives passed away one after another, leaving behind a bunch of heartless people.

“You might not know, but not long ago, she was publicly humiliated by her fiance and her mother. The engagement was broken off.

“That heartless man turned around and entangled himself with another woman who pretended to be weak and noble. Besides having a cutting tongue, she was useless.

“Shen Hua really cares about saving face. That day, she couldn’t help but shed tears. She has it rough with this broken body of hers. She had it harder than anyone else. ”

Cui Yun was deep in thought. However, he did not seem conflicted.

He only wanted Xie Xun’s favor. He did not care at all about what kind of person Shen Hua was.

The Marquis of Yangling’s Manor had many empty rooms, but Cui Yun had never thought of bringing someone back there.

He thought it burdensome.

Many females came seeking refuge with the Marquis, and he accepted all of them. Thus, during the new year and during festivals, he had to patiently send people to send gifts to all these girls.

He had to take care of Shen Hua for Xie Xun’s sake and not let her enter the manor. It would be better to place her in a courtyard under his name in Shengjing.

There was no need to worry about arranging the medical attendants and maidservants.

Now that the end of the year was approaching, he had to hurry back as soon as possible.

Ji Qing could not bear to hear the sufferings of the world.

“She’s too pitiful.”

Zheng Qianyu pretended to wipe tears from the corner of her eyes. “Yes, yes. She experiences a minor illness every three days and a major illness every five days.”

“How is she now?”

She was lying right in front of him! How nice. Hehehe!

Zheng Qianyu did not reveal Shen Hua’s identity. She only said vaguely, “Not too good.”

However, her poor acting skills could only fool Ji He.

Cui Yun concealed his gloomy expression and did not make a sound, but his gaze fell on the lady whose hands were trembling violently.

Shen Hua was so ashamed that it was difficult for her to breathe. She was already prideful and awkward, so this situation was particularly uncomfortable.

She grew up amongst gold, silver, and jade. She was very rich, but she would not live long enough to spend all her money. Fine! Everything was over!

Why was she miserable?

However, the voices on the outside did not stop.

“Shen Hua’s luck isn’t good either. She was attacked by wild bees when she went to the bushes to pick dates. Not only did she hurt her leg from the fall, but she also had to recuperate for half a year. Her face was swollen like a bun, and she was so ugly that even her own mother couldn’t recognize her. ”

“Also, she…”

Shen Hua thought, ‘Zheng Qianyu, go to hell!’ Why did she bring up such an embarrassing matter?

Shen Hua was so agitated that she could not take it anymore. She struggled to stand up and was about to stop Zheng Qianyu when she started coughing uncontrollably.

Her throat felt increasingly itchy. There was no way to stop. There was a fishy in there.

At this moment, a teacup appeared in front of her. The hand that handed her the tea was confident.

Shen Hua was stunned and looked at the owner of the hand.

There was no longer the previous sharpness behind that pair of seemingly calm eyes. It was as if Shen Hua’s vision was blurred.

Seeing that she did not take it, Cui Yun did not rush her.

Zheng Qianyu poked Shen Hua’s waist and whispered.

“This young master looks cold, but he’s actually very kind.”

Yes.

Shen Hua suppressed her doubts and reached out to take it. “Thank you,” she said softly.

“No worries.” His voice was as cold as usual. It was refreshing, like a gurgling water stream from the mountains.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and a clear voice came from outside.”Master, we’re here.”

Cui Yun replied indifferently.

Before Shen Hua could take a sip to soothe her throat, she was helped out of the carriage by Zheng Qianyu.

The curtain was lifted, and Cui Yun could only reveal his delicate chin.”I’m not in a hurry. It’s still early, so why don’t we wait here and send the two of you back?”

As expected, Zheng Qianyu happily agreed.

“My horse is intelligent. I’ll leave it in the suburbs, and it’ll come back with the coachman.”

“Yes,” Shen Hua replied sullenly.

“That young master in embroidered clothes is really a good person. He looks much more handsome than the young masters of Fengzhou, but he is difficult to get close to. The other young master is not bad either, but he talks a little more.”

Shen Hua lifted the hem of her dress and walked very carefully. “Yes.”

“If he didn’t give you the pill, I think you’d be in trouble now.”

“I said thank you just now,” Shen Hua was very reasonable.

“It was life-saving. How can a verbal thank-you be enough?”

Shen Hua, who had always been overbearing, frowned and looked at Zheng Qianyu. “But isn’t it his duty to save me?”

She was the daughter of the Shen family, who owned an embroidery workshop and had a noble status. He Chu was the one who saved her the day she was injured from picking dates. Her brother, Shen Zhi, once said.

“My Yangyang is good. In the future, many young masters will fight over you. But then, this He Chu saved you. It’s his honor to be able to harbor bad intentions toward you.

Zheng Qianyu turned to look at her with difficulty. “…What did you just say?”

Zheng Qianyu thought, ‘Very good. Shen Hua is still herself.’
