prying up the corner

In the afternoon, Chen Sheng left Biluo Courtyard alone. Li Mo wanted to follow her, but Chen Sheng left her in the courtyard, saying she wanted to be alone.

According to the original novel, Si Nan and Chen Han had not met yet at this time, and they would have to wait ten days to meet. So, if she went to rescue him now, she would definitely win people's hearts!

Following the directions, Chen Sheng quickly arrived at the small courtyard where Si Nan lived and quietly went inside.

"You little bastard, how dare you defy me! You're tired of living!"

“Eeya ya wuheng! Uh…”

"You dare bite me?! I'll show you what I'm capable of!!"

From the innermost woodshed came shouts and curses, as well as unpleasant, whimpering sounds of resistance. The sounds were like dry wood rubbing together – truly noise!

"Let go!"

"Who do you think you are! Are you tired of living?! Daring to bother the old man..."

A middle-aged woman turned around, cursing, but shut her mouth the moment she saw Chen Sheng's face. She immediately knelt down with a thud, "Young Miss! Greetings, Young Miss! What brings you here, Young Miss... This servant has failed to greet you properly..."

"Get out!"

Chen Sheng smiled and said that the middle-aged woman thought it was a joke, and paused tentatively before letting out an "Ah".

"Get out! Don't make me say it a second time!"

Chen Sheng continued to smile, his expression full of threat. The middle-aged woman realized the danger and immediately ran out, not daring to stay for even a second longer.

Chen Sheng looked at the boy huddled up in a ball, his lips twitching. This guy is Si Nan? The Si Nan who is invincible in the business world?

"Are you alright?" Chen Sheng asked politely, taking off his outer garment and handing it to Si Nan, indicating that he should cover his exposed skin.

Si Nan pursed his lips and shook his head vigorously.

Chen Sheng then asked, "Are you a compass?"

Si Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously! He could only utter mumbled incoherently.

"Can't you speak?" "Can you read?" Chen Sheng could only nod in response.

After a long pause, Chen Sheng finally revealed the purpose of her visit: "I am Chen Sheng, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. Would you like to come with me?"

Si Nan didn't react strongly after hearing this. He smiled and nodded happily. Escaping from the sea of ​​suffering and stepping into a new life was his long-cherished wish!

"So... is there anything you need to pack? Like clothes or jewelry?"

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he simply shook his head.

Chen Sheng's lips twitched again. This was too tragic! He didn't even have any extra clothes?! No wonder Chen Han only helped him drive people away. He had devoted himself to the female lead's affairs to the point of exhaustion.

"Then... shall we leave now?"

And so, Miss Chen Sheng took a mute boy from the lowly tenement. This was nothing unusual, but it still reached the Prime Minister's ears.

Biluoyuan:

Chen Sheng arranged for all the servants of Biluo Courtyard to gather together, just to prove that Si Nan belonged to her!

"Ahem! Everyone, listen to me!"

Chen Sheng stood on the high steps and announced the addition of Si Nan.

"The man standing next to me is named Si Nan, and he's the one I brought back! From today onwards, he officially joins our Biluoyuan family! He has one flaw: he can't speak! Nobody's perfect! From now on, everyone should take good care of him and help him! Understand?"

"Yes, Miss! This servant understands!" everyone answered in unison.

"Alright! That's all, get back to work!" Chen Sheng waved everyone away, leaving only Si Nan and Li Mo behind.

When having a heart-to-heart talk, important things should naturally be discussed separately.

"Ahem, Li Mo, this is Si Nan. Keep a close eye on her from now on." Chen Sheng introduced the two to each other, "Si Nan, this is my personal bodyguard, Li Mo. If you need anything in the future, you can tell her... or write it down for her to see, understand?"

The two nodded in tacit agreement.

"Well... Li Mo, take him to wash up first, then find him some suitable clothes to change into," Chen Sheng instructed.

"Yes." Then, Li Mo turned and left with Si Nan.

Si Nan turned back to look at Chen Sheng with lingering reluctance, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh dear! Don't cry! Crying isn't pretty. You're more suited to smiling!" Chen Sheng immediately comforted him, saying that his face should be smiling! A smile that could charm a hundred hearts!

"Ah..." Si Nan uttered an unpleasant syllable, wiped away his tears, grinned, and his lips trembled slightly.

"This...is beautiful!"

Chen Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled back and said self-deprecatingly, "Chen Sheng, you are not very learned. At this moment, you did not even use poetry to describe him!"

This woman is as beautiful as a painting...
