Before Yun Xuan entered the palace, her family ran a clinic. However, her father offended a powerful person and was framed, resulting in the destruction of her family. All the men in the family were beheaded, and the women were sold. Some became official prostitutes, and some chose to commit suicide because they could not bear the humiliation. Fortunately, she met King Rui and was bought into the palace.
Therefore, she has always kept the habit of carrying medicines and silver needles with her.
Liang Jinghe followed Yun Xuan into the pavilion. Yun Xuan silently helped him treat his wounds without saying a word.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why is my mother here?"
Yun Xuan did not answer. After cleaning the debris and small grains of sand on his wound, he poured alcohol on it to disinfect it.
"Hiss——" Liang Jinghe frowned in pain.
"Prince, please bear with it." She sprinkled the powdered ink she had ground on his wound little by little, and bandaged it with gauze.
Then he said, "Now that you know how to feel pain, you shouldn't be so careless about yourself. The premise of saving others is to ensure your own safety first. Although the princess doesn't say it, she feels very sorry for you, the prince."
Liang Jinghe looked at the beautiful gauze wrapped around his wrist and pursed his lips. "Mom, will she really feel sorry for me?"
Yun Xuan said: "You are her own flesh and blood, how could she not feel sorry for you? The queen is just not good at expressing it. She came to watch you hunting today because she was worried about you."
"Really..." He turned his head and looked over. His mother was sitting under the corridor next to the horse farm and talking to Shen Qingxi. She had a smile on her face and looked kind and gentle.
He seldom saw his mother smile before.
"I'll be right there." He stood up and walked toward the corridor.
In this room, Jiang Muyu was chatting with Shen Qingxi.
"Ms. Shen is originally from Hangzhou."
"Yes, ma'am. My elder sister is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Jiang Muyu did not tell her her identity. According to the original plot, she still doesn't know Liang Jinghe's identity. She only knows that he is either rich or noble.
"I see. What a coincidence! I went to your sister's wedding to drink a glass of wine."
"Really? That's such a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence. It is fate that my son met Miss Shen today. Are you here alone?"
"No, I was traveling with two friends and we got separated by accident."
Jiang Muyu certainly knew this. The original text said that Shen Qingxi came with Mu Feihuai and Xiao Huiran.
Xiao Huiran's brother also studied in the Royal Academy. She knew that students were coming to the hunting ground today. Coincidentally, Mu Feihuai found her and said that he wanted to take his new friends to Princess Jin'an's manor, which was next to the hunting ground. So she followed him along, wanting to take this opportunity to get in touch with Liang Jinghe more, but it turned out to be the right opportunity for Liang Jinghe and Shen Qingxi to meet for the first time.
Jiang Muyu took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "Where are your two friends?"
Shen Qingxi shook her head and said pitifully, "We came in through the small gate, behind the woods. After entering the woods, I accidentally got separated from them and fell into a trap. Fortunately, Jing and my brother rescued me, otherwise I don't know what I would have done."
"Poor child, are you not hurt?" Jiang Muyu looked her up and down. Apart from her clothes being a little scratched, there were no obvious injuries.
"It's alright, ma'am. The trap was abandoned and not deep. There were many fallen leaves underneath. I fell on the fallen leaves when I fell."
"I'm glad you're alright."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Jinghe walked up to her.
"Mother." He called.
"He'er, have you treated your injury?"
“It’s all taken care of.”
She scolded him, "Don't be so careless next time. Although this time it's just a minor injury, you need to do what you can to save people in the future. You not only failed to save others, but also got yourself into trouble."
Liang Jinghe suddenly felt guilty. His skin was caused by his parents, and he was indeed impulsive. "Mother, I will be careful in the future."
"Um."
The young master over there was already blowing the whistle to gather the people. Liang Jinghe stood up and said, "Mother, the child has gone first."
Jiang Muyu straightened his slightly messy clothes and said, "Go quickly, and be careful when hunting."
"good."
Liang Jinghe took one last look at Shen Qingxi and left.
Shen Qingxi's eyes followed him, watching him walk away, watching him ride on the black horse and enter another forest with the team, and then she withdrew her gaze.
Jiang Muyu drank his tea and watched silently.
Honestly speaking, if she thought from the original owner's perspective, she could completely understand why the original owner did not approve of her son marrying Shen Qingxi. Putting aside her family background, the heroine would be just a useless vase without the halo of the protagonist.
In order to make the plot more charming, the author gave the heroine a naive and innocent character. She would run into trouble every time she went out, and someone would come to her aid every time she ran into trouble. Her parents, brothers, and sisters all doted on her, and the second, third, and fourth male protagonists all loved her.
But the mistress of the Rui Palace is not just kind.
Of course, the original novel also mentioned that the original owner was jealous of Shen Qingxi because she could easily get favor without doing anything, while she tried her best but was not loved and was abandoned by her relatives and friends.
Jiang Muyu felt a slight headache. Even with her participation today, it would not change the plot development of the original novel at all. If things continued like this, Liang Qingchen would definitely die in four years.
She had to consider her own way out.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qingxi asked when she saw her pinching her brows and looking annoyed.
Jiang Muyu smiled awkwardly and lied, "I have a headache, maybe it's because the weather is too hot."
"Would you like me to rub it for you?"
“No, no need!”
How could she dare to let the heroine serve her?
So she quickly stood up and pretended to stretch her muscles. "It's hot and I feel very tired. I just need to move around."
When she looked up, she suddenly saw two little girls walking towards her not far away. One of them was Xiao Huiran. Alarm bells immediately rang in her heart.
He turned around and said to Shen Qingxi, "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do in my house. I'll excuse myself first."
Then, without waiting for Shen Qingxi to react, he pulled Yun Xuan and quickly walked in the opposite direction of Xiao Huiran.
Shen Qingxi blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Mrs. Liang who was leaving in a hurry, and shook her head in confusion.
When Mu Feihuai saw her, he called out from a distance: "Sister Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Qingxi then saw the two of them and responded, "I'm fine."
Mu Feihuai and Xiao Huiran walked down the corridor.
Xiao Huiran saw two teacups on the stone table next to him and asked, "Who was here just now?"
Shen Qingxi briefly described what happened to her, and finally said, "Mrs. Liang just said that she had something to do in her house and left in a hurry."
When Mu Feihuai heard this, her eyes widened immediately. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Huiran pulled her back. She looked over in confusion, and the other party shook his head at her, and she understood.
Although Mu Feihuai is careless in his daily life, he is not stupid. They all know that "Liang" is the royal surname, but Shen Qingxi doesn't know it. Since the other party does not want to reveal his identity, how dare they rush to expose it?
So Mu Feihuai scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I'm glad you're okay..."
Xiao Huiran's expression was normal, he just said coldly: "In the future, stay close to others when you go out, don't run around everywhere. The capital is full of powerful people, if you offend someone by mistake, your Shen family can't afford it."
Shen Qingxi lowered her head and responded softly, "Sister Xiao is right."
Mu Feihuai felt sorry for her pitiful appearance, so he said, "Of course, don't blame her. She didn't mean it."
"Hehe..." Xiao Huiran sneered twice, turned around and left.
Mu Feihuai immediately comforted Shen Qingxi: "Sister Shen, don't take it to heart. Ranran is a cold person, but she has a good heart. She is just afraid that you will make a mistake and get into trouble."
Shen Qingxi nodded, "I understand."
"I'm glad you understand." Mu Feihuai patted her shoulder and then went after Xiao Huiran.
Behind them, Shen Qingxi stared at their backs, his eyes darkening.
