Shen Shuyi woke up slowly when Zhou Qian carried her to the carriage. She looked at the frowning man and said weakly, "Cousin Yanzhao, I, I want to ask you for something."
Zhou Qian brought some water over and said, "Drink some water and take your time. If you have anything to say, tell me slowly."
"Don't send me back home yet. I'm afraid that my mother and grandmother will worry... I want you to help keep this a secret."
Zhou Qian's brows tightened when he heard this. He said in a deep voice, "Do you know how seriously ill you are now?"
His face was pale and he had just suddenly fainted.
Shen Shuyi raised her hand and grabbed Zhou Qian's sleeve, "Just find a place for me to rest. I, I will adjust my mood and then go back to the mansion."
Zhou Qian sighed. The most important thing now was to stabilize her condition and not let her grandmother worry.
"OK."
As soon as he agreed, the people in the carriage fell asleep again.
Zhou Qian had no choice but to bring the people to his residence in the military camp. He usually lived here and would only return to the main residence when the general's mansion called him for something.
When the personal soldier Chen Feng saw the general carrying a girl back to the mansion, his eyes widened. Zhou Qian carried the girl into the mansion and glanced at Chen Feng sideways, "Go to the general's mansion and tell him that I'm taking my cousin out for a walk on the street."
Chen Feng immediately accepted the order.
Oh, it turned out to be her cousin. He thought the general had met a girl during the outing and brought her back home... It turned out that the general only had the military camp in his mind and didn’t want to get married at all!
Zhou Qian lived alone, and the guest room was filled with weapons. There were no servants to clean up the room, so they had to send the person to his dormitory and call a military doctor to see her.
After taking her pulse, the old military doctor pondered and said, "Sudden fainting is most likely due to anger. I'll prescribe a prescription for her to clear her heart and relieve her heat. Take it for two days and see how it goes."
"This girl's weak constitution requires careful care, and she must not get angry again."
Zhou Qian sent the military doctor away and asked someone to boil some medicine before returning to the room.
He saw that the person on the bed looked even thinner due to illness.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi opened his eyes and met Zhou Qian's complicated gaze.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to contain spring rain, full of water, and her gentle look made Zhou Qian's usually cold heart feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
My fiancé had an affair with another woman and even met with her under my nose...
Zhou Qian subconsciously clenched his fists. How could a man from the Zhou family be so treacherous!
Now that it has happened, what should we do next?
If Shen Shuyi was his sister, he would never let her marry a man who broke his engagement.
But he is Wen Jing's elder brother and a real member of the Zhou family. It is the Zhou family that has let her down...
Zhou Qian's eyes gradually became stern.
Wen Jing really needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise he would be unworthy of being a man of the Zhou family!
"Are you feeling better?" Zhou Qian was standing at a distance from the bed, but he could still see her shoulders trembling and she was suppressing her sobs.
Shen Shuyi forced a smile while crying, "Thank you, cousin Yan Zhao, I'm fine."
"After I drink the medicine, I'll have to ask my cousin to take me back home... And I hope my cousin can keep a secret about what happened today. I, I don't want to make this matter public for the time being."
Zhou Qian was puzzled. "Wen Jing was wrong. I will ask my grandparents to seek justice for you."
Shen Shuyi raised her tears and looked at Zhou Qian, "What justice are you asking for?"
"Will people laugh at me for breaking off the engagement because my fiancé disliked me? Our two families are extremely close relatives, and I don't want to hurt my elders' feelings no matter what."
Alerting the enemy!
Wouldn't it be too easy for Zhou Xuanmin to cancel the engagement like this? She wants Zhou Xuanmin and Chu Huiji to be ruined!
Shen Shuyi locked Zhou Qian's gaze tightly, pleading, "I hope my cousin will pity me for coming from afar and let me be filial to my grandmother. I don't want this matter to cause any rift between our two families."
Zhou Qian didn't understand the girl's thoughts, "You have seen Xuan Min act like this today, what are your plans for this marriage?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. Cousin, you have seen that my second aunt is opposed to this marriage." Shen Shuyi held the handkerchief and gently pressed it against his heart, his eyes sad.
Zhou Qian nodded slightly, his voice calm and mellow.
"No matter what, health is the most important thing. I hope you take good care of yourself, cousin."
"Thank you, cousin." Shen Shuyi's eyes were sore, and the tears that had just stopped fell again.
A hint of panic flashed across Zhou Qian's usually stern face.
Why is she crying again...
Without waiting for him to say anything, Shen Shuyi turned his back, wiped his tears, and adjusted his mood.
…
When Shen Shuyi returned to the General's Mansion, he first went to see his mother, then went to greet Old Madam Zhou before returning to the courtyard to rest.
Unexpectedly, when passing by the General's Mansion Garden, he ran into Zhou Xuanmin who had just returned home.
He stopped the man with a few peach blossoms in his hand.
Shen Shuyi and her maid Bi Tao stopped, "Second cousin, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Xuanmin gave Chuntao a look and said, "I have something to say to my cousin, you go down first."
Chuntao is a maid in the general's mansion, so she naturally listens to Zhou Xuanmin. At the moment, only Chen Shuyi and Zhou Xuanmin are in the garden.
His tone was intimate and even a little gentle, "Yier, why don't you wait for me until I'm back?"
"Look, I picked peach blossoms for you."
Shen Shuyi pursed her lips, is this what all scumbags look like after they cheat? I was happy outside, and when I got home, I felt a little guilty and became more friendly to others.
"But I have brought back a lot of peach blossoms. Why don't you give them to cousin Ningxiang?"
Zhou Xuanmin felt that something was wrong with her. His cousin had never refused his kindness. Was she blaming him for being away for too long and not accompanying her?
If you want to blame someone, blame her weak health. She gets out of breath after walking a few steps, and it's not fun to play with her.
