Chapter 66: Xu Nian visits the patient and Shen Yan changes

Xu Nian was busy with spring ploughing and always went to Zhujia Village, causing Wang Pingting, who came to see her, to miss out several times. Fortunately, she did not go out today, so Wang Pingting did not make a wasted trip.

"It's not easy to find you. It seems that you are busier than the county magistrate. You are a rich lady. Why do you run to the fields every day instead of embroidering flowers at home?"

"Sister Wang, you still have the nerve to criticize me. Ever since you took back the Red Spear, I can't even find your shadow. You even said you would teach me martial arts."

Wang Pingting was a little embarrassed. She walked to Xu Nian and whispered in her ear, "I had my first period, so my mother didn't let me run around. That's why I didn't come to see Sister Xu."

Xu Nian looked at Wang Pingting's blushing face and nodded in understanding.

"How is Sister Wang now? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh my, you are such a shameless person. How can you ask me such a question without blushing or getting nervous?"

Xu Nian trembled and said, "Miss, do you know how scary your clavicles are?"

Wang Pingting was indeed very embarrassed to continue this topic, so she talked to Xu Nian about Shen Yan.

"Did you know that Shen Yan was sick?"

"Are you sick? What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Xu Nian was indeed very surprised. She had been busy learning the rules or doing spring ploughing recently and had not paid attention to other things.

"She just caught a cold. Her fever had just subsided when I visited her yesterday, but I still feel like she's not just sick."

Although Xu Nian had only met Shen Yan once, he could tell that she was a thoughtful girl. She didn't like to talk about anything. How could she not get sick if she kept everything in her heart?

"How about you and I go see Sister Shen again? Is that convenient?"

"Oh, it's not inconvenient at all. If you go to see her, she will be so happy."

Xu Nian sent Xiu'er to tell Tian that he was going away. When Xiu'er came back, she brought the gifts prepared by Tian.

Xu Nian also prepared something for himself.

"Oh, is this the orchid you made? It's so pretty. Is this for your sister Shen?"

Xu Nian smiled and nodded. Wang Pingting was about to say that she was biased when she saw a red thread with a piece of auspicious clouds woven on it appear in front of her.

Wang Pingting was extremely happy, but it was a pity that she didn't bring her rifle today, otherwise she would have shown Xu Nian her shooting skills.

The two of them prepared to take a carriage to the Shen Mansion. Because they were going to visit a patient, Xu Nian was afraid that Madam Liu would feel uncomfortable, so she did not let Liuyun and Liuqin follow her.

In the car, Wang Pingting said in surprise: "I didn't expect these two to be so approachable. Then I won't be afraid of being scolded when I come to learn the rules. My mother said she will prepare a generous gift and send me over tomorrow.

Hehe~Are you happy to have me by your side? "

Xu Nian looked at the person who was cheerful alone, and shed tears for her in her heart. According to Pingting's personality, she would probably be punished more times than her, not less.

"I'm very happy, hehe~", I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy then, my sister.

When the two of them arrived at the place, Xu Nian was stunned for a moment. This place was a bit remote.

Wang Pingting explained: "County Secretary Shen is from an ordinary peasant family, with no family background. Although Madam Liu's father is a wealthy businessman, she is just a concubine's daughter, so she does not have any property."

Xu Nian nodded and looked at Wang Pingting curiously.

"How come Sister Wang knows so much about these things?"

Wang Pingting smiled embarrassedly because she had a mother who loved gossip.

"Hearsay, hearsay..."

Mrs. Liu was very happy to know that Miss Xu came to visit her daughter, and she personally sent Xu Nian and Wang Pingting to Shen Yan's room.

Shen Yan, who was in the room, heard the noise outside and sat on the bed with his head down.

This was the scene Xu Nian saw when he came in. He thought Shen Yan was still feeling a little uncomfortable and was trying hard to hold on.

"It's my fault for coming here in a hurry today and not letting you know in advance. Is Sister Shen still feeling uncomfortable?"

Shen Yan then raised her head and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Sister Xu, you're welcome. I'm glad you came."

Xu Nian didn't care about Shen Yan's coldness. Anyone would feel depressed when they are sick.

Seeing that there was no little maid in the room, she asked Xiu'er to get a teacup and pour out the tea she made. Here, Xu Nian used the things in the space hoping that Shen Yan would recover quickly.

"Sister Shen, I made this myself. Drinking a little will make you feel better."

Shen Yan took it and said thank you, then frosted it in her hand but didn't drink it. The room became quiet for a while.

Wang Pingting was a little puzzled when she saw Shen Yan. Wasn't she much better when she came to see her yesterday? Why was she so miserable today?

Xu Nian is not a real little girl. If she thought at first that Shen Yan was listless because of illness, Shen Yan's demeanor after those few sentences had already made her realize that she did not welcome her arrival.

After Xu Nian put down the things he had prepared, he said goodbye.

"Sister Shen is not feeling well, so I won't stay any longer. You should have a good rest."

Shen Yan nodded. Wang Pingting, who was walking at the end, turned around and looked at her suspiciously. She was startled when she met Shen Yan's gaze. What on earth happened in the meantime?

After everyone left, Shen Yan got out of bed. Without a trace of sickness in her eyes, she poured the tea in her hand into the flowerpot in front of the window and threw all the things Xu Nian brought under the bed.

Because of the force, a corner of the bundle completely fell off, revealing the orchid. Shen Yan's eyes wavered twice, and finally returned to calm.

This time she got sick because she took a cold shower on purpose. Ever since she heard what her father said, she felt more and more unwilling.

"Why can she only curry favor with the powerful? Is it because she was born in a low family? She refuses to believe in fate. She doesn't want to be someone else's foil anymore. She's had enough of being ordered around by others."

Shen Yan looked out the window, but she could no longer see Xu Nian and the other person. For some reason, tears kept flowing down her face. She felt as sad as if she had returned to her childhood when she had lost her favorite silver bracelet.

After leaving the Shen residence, Xu Nian felt the obscure gazes beside him and said with a smile: "Sister Wang, do you have something to say to me?"

Wang Pingting, who was originally straightforward, began to hesitate.

"Sister Xu, you're not angry, are you? Shen Yan..." She originally wanted to say that Shen Yan was not a bad person, but when she thought of the look just now, she didn't say it out loud.

"Sister Wang, do you believe in fate?" Xu Nian said to herself, "I always believe in one sentence: when fate comes, we gather together, and when fate ends, we separate. You can't force many people to be together."

Just like her parents in her previous life, she had tried her best to express her love, just hoping that they would look back at her, but relationships between people cannot be achieved through hard work.

Wang Pingting looked at Xu Nian foolishly. Her words were calm and her expression was peaceful, but for some reason she felt a deep sadness from Xu Nian.
