After the court was dismissed, Shen Yanjin was sent back to the Shen Mansion by someone sent by the emperor.

Because of his mobility problems, Shen Yanjin asked Qiu Xiaoan and Shen Wang to pack up their things at will.

The people who followed the emperor went to the palace granted by the emperor.

The blue and white slate in front of the mansion gate was a bit worn, probably because no one had lived there for a long time. The stone balls in the mouths of the two stone lions guarding the gate were covered with moss.

The door was closed, and the plaque on the door was written in a flamboyant calligraphy.

Qingxiu Mansion.

The servants carried the things, opened the door and went in. Xiao Xu, who was flapping his wings behind him, immediately sneezed. He chirped in dissatisfaction and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Then he looked around the mansion carefully.

Although it is a bit old, all the furnishings and buildings here are very neat and grand. It has to be said that the things bestowed by the emperor are never too bad.

After the emperor's men brought Shen Yanjin here, they went back to report. The remaining dozen or so guards looked at each other.

Qiu Xiaoan found a broom, sighed, and said with energy, "Quick, everyone except the master, get to work and give this mansion a rough clean before dark."

The guards and several servants were busy looking for things to clean, and the old and quiet mansion suddenly became lively.

Xiao Xu stopped above Qiu Xiaoan's head, looking up at the red lanterns hanging outside each room, with a hint of curiosity.

Its round little eyes narrowed.

He shook his body and flew up again.

It didn't know where it flew to, but it saw lush and beautiful trees, bright and beautiful flowers, and a clear stream that meandered from the depths of the trees and flowers and flowed under the crevices of the rocks.

After walking a few more steps, the area gradually turned northwards and became flat and spacious. On both sides, there were flying towers piercing the sky, with carved eaves and embroidered railings, all hidden among the treetops in the valley. Some of the nearby windows had deep red wedding characters pasted on them.

This is a small courtyard with a nice view, but why are there big red window grilles everywhere and even a lot of red lanterns?

Could it be that the previous owner of this mansion moved out after his wedding?

Xiao Xu couldn't figure it out, and with his round eyes wide open, he stopped in front of a Xieshui Pavilion. The place was overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that it was very old.

As soon as it entered, it felt like it was being stared at by a pair of eerie eyes. It turned its little head vigilantly and looked around, but didn't find anything wrong.

I thought I was overthinking it and was just beginning to relax when something covered my eyes.

Xiao Xu quickly broke free and flapped his wings to fly away from the pavilion.

On the way, it turned its head and was so shocked that all the hair on its body stood up.

In Xie Shui Pavilion, there were blood-red silks fluttering in the wind on all sides, which looked eerie and scary.

Xiao Xu didn't want to stay any longer, so he hurried back until he saw Shen Yanjin twisting his wheelchair and observing the surroundings.

It was like a frightened bird, diving into Shen Yanjin's arms, and several feathers fell off.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yanjin took the little fat bird out of his arms, and seeing that it had its eyes tightly closed, he thought something had happened. His face changed slightly, and he slowly turned the wheelchair and walked back.

When he arrived at the compound, he frowned and said, "Qiu Xiaoan."

"master?"

Qiu Xiaoan dropped the broom and ran over quickly, then saw the fat little bird with its eyes closed.

He immediately took the little fat bird from Shen Yanjin's hand, shook it gently a few times, did some simple inspections, opened its mouth, and found that it had not eaten anything bad.

There are no injuries on my body.

Then why does it look like this?

Qiu Xiaoan was just wondering when he was surprised to find some rouge on the fat little bird's short and thick mouth.

He put some on his finger, twisted it and smelled it. It didn't seem like anything poisonous.
