Chapter 113 Meeting without Recognition

"Mr. Shen?" Xu Shuyao called out tentatively.

Shen Shaoyu was awakened by the voice, and his eyes opened.

A magnified face of a young lady appeared in front of him. She had two curved eyebrows and clear eyes beneath them. She was looking at him with concern.

She seemed familiar.

"Mr. Shen?" Seeing that he woke up, Xu Shuyao called him again.

Shen Shaoyu finally remembered, “Miss Xu?”

Xu Shuyao nodded, and seeing him looking around, she continued, "This is the guest room in the temple. Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"

Shen Shaoyu sat up from the bed in front of her, "It's okay." He said in a low voice.

He just reached behind his head and checked, perhaps remembering what had happened before, and didn't say anything for a while.

Xu Shuyao lowered her head to look at him, and Mr. Shen smiled at her, but the grief and anger in his eyes flashed away, making his smile look a little forced.

Xu Shuyao guessed it in her heart, but did not ask.

If it is really as she thinks, who would feel good about it?

I thought I would remain silent forever, but then I heard him ask, "You saved me, didn't you?"

Seeing her nod, he said again: "Thank you!"

Then Mr. Shen said self-deprecatingly: "With my current body, I might die at any time. I can't bear it..."

He paused and said, "I won't tell you anymore. Anyway, I owe you a life-saving favor. If you are ever of any use to me, I will do my best to help you."

Xu Shuyao shook her head and said tentatively: "Although I don't know what happened to Mr. Shen, I feel that no matter how poor his health is, he should not tolerate those who hurt him."

Shen Shaoyu looked at the serious young lady in front of him for a long time, and then he smiled: "Shaoyu knows! It's just..."

He didn't say anything more, but looked at Xu Shuyao, "The girl and I are really destined to be together."

Who says it’s not?

The maid Huixiang stood nearby and felt that her master seemed much gentler today.

This is really rare!

She remembered that the girl had only met Mr. Shen twice.

However, Mr. Shen is really too thin.

Not to mention the master, even she, the maid, felt a little pity in her heart.

Looking at the sadness and mockery in his eyes, I don’t know who has plotted against him.

Seeing that the two were talking in a good atmosphere, Huixiang couldn't help but push the plate of mulberries in her hand and asked, "Sir, would you like some?"

Seeing Shen Shaoyu smiled and took one, he handed the plate to his master.

Xu Shuyao also took a purple-black one and put it in her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Mo walking in from outside the yard.

Behind him was his maid Qiao Wei.

Xiao Mo walked in a hurry, but was stunned when he saw the people smiling in the room.

It was Shen Shaoyu who took the initiative to ask him, “Do you eat mulberries?”

After saying that, he looked at the maidservant beside the bed, and Huixiang handed her the plate on the small table in a hurry.

Xiao Mo glanced at the purple-black corners of the lips of the people in the room, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Just when Huixiang thought that the prince would not try it, he reached out for the plate.

So Xu Shuyao watched helplessly as the corners of this man's lips were stained with some strange colors like theirs.

Seeing the other person looking at her, she shifted her gaze and wiped it unconsciously with her handkerchief.

Then Xiao Mo said, "Go find Grandma! Leave this to me."

Xu Shuyao looked at Shen Shaoyu who was sitting on the bed. Seeing that he nodded, she smiled and left with the two maids.

After going out, she asked Qiao Wei to check her appearance again. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she walked towards the front hall of the temple.

But when she passed the wall of the guest house, she saw the tree full of mulberries. She couldn't help but look around and asked her maid, "Did you pick them here just now?"

Huixiang nodded, and then she heard her master say, "Well, pick some more and bring some back to the old lady."

The branches stretched out and were within reach. Xu Shuyao found it interesting and helped pick some, then carefully wrapped them up with an embroidered handkerchief.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that everyone from Duke Cheng's mansion was gathered together, as if they were waiting for them.

The Dharma Assembly in the small square has ended, and people are walking down the mountain in groups of three or four.

Xu Shuyao looked around and did not see the nobles in the palace anymore.

Of course, Shen Jingshu was not seen either.

"Cousin! Where did you go just now?" Xiao Jinshan's voice came from the front.

Xu Shuyao looked up and saw that everyone was waiting for her reply, so she immediately smiled and showed them the mulberries she was packing, saying, "Look what we picked."

Not only Madam Xiao, but everyone came forward.

"Huh? It's mulberries!" Cui Zhaoran said first.

Xu Shuyao smiled and nodded. "It wasn't mature when I lived in the guest house with the old lady before, but it's just right now."

Madam Xiao laughed at her: "I was wondering where you've been, girl. You're actually greedy."

Everyone shared the mulberries and enjoyed themselves, which was like going out for a wild trip.

Seeing that everyone picked up the handkerchief to wipe the corners of their lips, Xiao Mo also came over with a few guards.

She didn't see the eldest son of the Shen family, but from the other party's tone at that time, she should know who was behind this plot.

I don't know why Concubine Shen did this.

Xu Shuyao followed everyone down the mountain.

They did not meet anyone from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion again, but they met their second cousin Xiao Jinyi and her second cousin's husband.

Before getting on the car, Chen chatted with them for a while.

Even Liu Qingwan walked over with a smile on her face to talk to the elder sister-in-law, looking quite warm.

Xu Shuyao and Xiao Jinshan were waiting on the side. She felt the eldest son of the Li family's gaze sweeping over from time to time. She was unhappy and did not wait for the maid to buy sour plum soup. She hurriedly pulled her third cousin into the carriage.

After a long time, Chen finally finished talking to her daughter.

The maid's sour plum soup was also bought. Xu Shuyao drank it slowly and felt quite thirsty.

On the way back, she rode in a carriage with her third and fourth cousins, just like when she came.

The weather in April is indeed a bit hot.

The two people sitting opposite her probably followed the crowd to watch the excitement, and now they also looked sleepy.

Xu Shuyao leaned against the carriage, and kept thinking of Mr. Shen in her mind. There was a sad smile on her thin face. Was it because she felt sad to be treated like that by her own sister?

She still remembered that when the other person just woke up, he called his sister softly, and he didn't look like he hated her in his heart.

But he is so thin!

Xu Shuyao felt a little regretful that her medical skills were not good enough, otherwise she would have taken the man's pulse while he was unconscious.

But thinking of Concubine Shen's methods, she felt it would be better to clear herself.
