When the two separated, Chaohua was still struggling over whether to ask the Emperor to grant her a marriage. She was a person who acted on her thoughts and could seldom be pulled back once she had an idea. However, the person who persuaded her was Chen Huaixu, and she felt that what she said made some sense.
Chen Huaixu did not go home, but went to Jishiditang to take a look.
She has been busy with things these days, and even though she is in Jishidiang, her heart is not here. She almost left Jiang Fu and Fang Cangli aside. Fortunately, the doctors in Jishidiang have long been accustomed to their presence and sometimes give them some advice.
"It's so rare to see a busy man like you." The shopkeeper was furious when he saw Shen Huaixu.
Although Shen Huaixu is the county lady, she does not have the airs of a county lady, and they usually speak more casually.
"Doctor Shen, every time you don't come, I have to deal with all the patients who come to see you. Look at my beard, I'm almost pulling it out from worry!"
Shen Huaixu followed the direction of his finger... and looked upwards. Hmm, the shopkeeper had also lost a lot of hair. She consoled him kindly, "Shopkeeper, why don't you go find Doctor Yue and ask him if he has any hair growth recipes or acupuncture. Otherwise, I'm really worried that your white hair will get even shorter..."
"Go, go, go!" The shopkeeper, irritated and embarrassed, urged, "Take care of your two apprentices and bring them out. You can do whatever you want with them!"
"I hope that all the doctors in Jishiditang will be generous in teaching me, and not hide anything. Please teach all your skills to my two little disciples..."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned and left.
Chen Huaixu put away the smile on her face. Seeing that Afu and Cangli were busy preparing medicine for the patients, she did not disturb them and went to sit in front of her own seat. Soon, people lined up in front of her.
After she got busy, she could no longer remember the inexplicable strangeness in her heart.
During dinner in the evening, Shen Huaixu discussed the progress of the case with his father and then went back to his room to rest.
"Chen Huaixu, why are you ignoring me?"
As soon as she returned to the house, she heard Fu Yin's voice.
[You mean when I was at Jishiditang? I was so busy, why would I bother with you?] Chen Huaixu used the dried fish Yinghua had prepared to tease Xiaolihua.
“Are you still going to keep this cat?” she asked.
"No matter how busy you were before, you would still pay attention to me." Fu Yin's voice became low, "Did something happen?"
【Well, you should know this soon.】
Chen Huaixu understood Chaohua's personality. She might be a little spoiled, but she was not someone who would not listen. Once she figured it out, she might go to Fuyin to explain things clearly.
Can Fuyin accept humans?
She didn't know the answer to this question, but if he fell in love with someone, it was his freedom.
To be honest, every time she talked about this, she always felt it was strange. She didn't know if it was because she treated Fu Tuan as a pet in the past, and after Fu Tuan became Fu Yin, he seemed to be very dependent on her, so that she still hadn't come to her senses. When she thought about him being with someone else, she always felt like her things were being taken away by someone else.
Maybe she hasn't adapted yet, and maybe it will be fine after a while.
Inside the planting space, he always felt that he and Shen Huaixu had no secret support for each other, and he felt anxious that something was out of his control. His eyes became deeper and more dangerous.
The next moment his figure disappeared into space. He leaned over and stretched out his slender hand. When he touched Chen Huaixu's hair, he moved his hand down to touch the tabby cat.
He held the cat in his arms, lowered his eyes and stroked the cat's smooth fur, but the cat seemed to have forgotten his scent and kept struggling under his shackles.
Chen Huaixu stood up and looked outside. It was not long after nightfall, and there were maids walking around in the yard from time to time.
"Why did you come out? What if someone finds you..."
Fu Yin interrupted her in a low voice, "Chen Huaixu, I won't be in the capital for long, can't you be nicer to me?"
Shen Huaixu was interrupted by him and couldn't help but frowned and said, "How have I been bad to you?"
Every time I go shopping, I think of bringing him some delicious food. What's wrong with that?
Um?
Something seems wrong.
"What difference does it make whether you leave the capital or not? Childish." Shen Huaixu snorted and laughed, "If there's nothing else, leave quickly. I need to rest."
Fu Yin found a place to sit down and asked, "Tell me what happened first?"
His mind flashed back to the way she was with Princess Chaohua today, and the way Princess Chaohua looked at him. He guessed, "Is it related to Princess Chaohua?"
Chen Huaixu coughed and said vaguely, "This kind of thing is not easy for others to say on your behalf. You'd better wait. I'll leave the little cat to you. Don't forget to feed it. Let's go quickly."
Hearing her say this, Fu Yin had already guessed that the matter was indeed related to Chao Hua, and also guessed why she said that. His face suddenly darkened, and he stood up abruptly, staring at Shen Huaixu with his deep eyes. After a moment, he squeezed out a sentence, "Shen Huaixu, I don't like her, don't you know?"
It was the first time that Fu Yin looked at him like this. Shen Huaixu was stunned. "I know, but this matter..."
"Then why don't you tell her clearly? Do you want to give me to someone else?"
I don’t know if it’s because Fu Yin’s skin is too fair, but the slightly red eyes are very noticeable.
"No..." Chen Huaixu was a little angry but also amused. "Shouldn't you two talk things out face to face? In the capital, I'm the Princess of Mingyi County, and you're a newly appointed general. On the surface, we're just old acquaintances. Don't you think it's weird for me to explain things to her?"
As soon as he said this, Fu Yin knew that he was impulsive. He just didn't like the way Chen Huaixu was indifferent and helped Cangyue hide it from him.
The red at the corners of his eyes gradually faded, and the cat in his hand struggled out of his hand, grabbing his clothes with its claws and crawling down.
"Chen Huaixu, in my vision of the future, there's only you and me, no third person. But there are too many people around you." He watched Chen Huaixu's gradually surprised expression in the dim candlelight without blinking, his thin lips slightly raised, his smile carrying danger and temptation, "But it doesn't matter, I'll wait for you."
The room was silent, with only the crackling sound of the candlelight about to burn out. The person in front of her had long since disappeared into thin air. Shen Huaixu looked down at the little tabby who kept pulling at her legs, bent down and picked her up. The shock in her eyes had not yet completely disappeared when she stood up.
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out whether Fu Yin was too dependent on her, wanted to hold her tight, or had other intentions. She was so sleepy from thinking about it.
As she was thinking, a picture emerged in her mind. When he was still Fu Tuan, he once caught a green insect with hairy body when he was bored.
He was already bored on the road to escape the famine, and as a big cat, he only had to stay in the carriage, which made him even more bored. So he put the insect in front of his eyes and watched it crawl little by little. Whenever the insect crawled out a certain distance, he would use his claws to catch it back in front of his eyes, and this cycle repeated over and over again.
Until he fell asleep.
Habit, insecurity, dependence and the desire for control may all lead him to have such thoughts, and she always has to figure it out before saying anything else.
After putting the little tabby cat into the cat bed, Shen Huaixu went to bed to rest.
