Chapter 639 Don't Think Wrongly
At night, Shen Xuan also came back from outside. After hearing the servant's report, he also came over.
Outside under the eaves, Xiao Lanyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the moonlight in the cold wind and sparse clouds.
Shen Xuan walked up to him.
"Zhao Ning hasn't come out yet?"
But he heard that he went in in the afternoon.
It's been so long -
"Um."
"You've been waiting here all this time?" Shen Xuan frowned as he looked at him in a dark purple robe. "Does Zhao Ning know? She worked so hard to cure you, she didn't want you to torture your body like this again."
The night wind is cold now. Although we are sheltered from the wind, it is still very cold outside.
Did Xiao Lanyuan have to guard the door and see the treatment results of Fu Jinchen and Shen Qiao first?
Or are you afraid they will run away?
His "enemy" is his sister. Is he afraid that this is the Shen family's territory and he would feel uneasy if he doesn't guard it personally?
Shen Xuan thought so at first, but quickly put the idea aside.
Xiao Lanyuan is not that bad.
"I just got here a while ago. It's just that Ningning has been in there for too long, so I'm here to keep watch. If she can't hold on, I'll know in time."
Not everyone could ask Xiao Lanyuan to explain, but to Shen Xuan, he still explained.
Shen Xuanqing just sighed.
"She didn't come out for dinner either?"
“No.”
"The child is tired." Shen Xuan felt a little distressed. "Have you eaten?"
"I'll wait for her to come out. Uncle, go eat first."
"I came back from eating outside." Shen Xuan also looked at the pale moon and was silent for a while. "I found a few people who were wrongly accused and almost had their property confiscated and their families exterminated by the emperor."
The Shen family now needs to find more helpers.
"Uncle, have you ever thought about leaving Dahe?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"Where to go after leaving Dahe?"
After all, Da He and his family still have some foundation. If they go somewhere else and start from scratch, the Shen family's collection of books will still attract competition, and the Shen family will have no one to rely on.
Xiao Lanyuan didn't say anything.
There was still a vague thought in his mind, and it would be too hasty to speak it out now.
"Don't leave now. If you want to leave, you have to first remove the rotten parts of Shen's house and trim off the crooked dead branches. Otherwise, the poison scars will still be difficult to cure no matter where you go."
Shen Xuan continued speaking himself.
"Um."
Xiao Lanyuan agreed with this point.
Now many people in the Shen family have already developed ulterior motives. If we don’t eliminate them completely, we will not feel safe anywhere.
Since Shen Xuan already had a direction, he didn't need to say more.
"Did Zhao Ning show you Dong Qing's book today?"
“I have.”
Shen Xuan glanced at him again, "There are two people in the Dahe court, they should be the descendants of Dong Qing's female official. I have sent people to contact them."
"Who is it?" Xiao Lanyuan concentrated.
"One is a fifth-rank military officer, and the other is a sixth-rank civil official. We don't even know what kind of people they are. Do you want to meet them?"
Dong Qing has been destroyed for so long.
"They may not know their origins. What can we do if we meet them now?"
"Well, I'll keep an eye on it for you. I checked and found that the ceremonial team led by the Dongqing Empress back then had quite a few people. Those people couldn't return to Dongqing later. Many of them must have started families and careers in Dahe and Zhaoguo, and they must have left behind many descendants. I'll check the ones in Dahe, and you can check the ones in Zhaoguo after you go back."
Xiao Lanyuan was silent for a while before thanking him.
"Thank you, uncle."
He had not yet thought about what to do with Dong Qing, but Shen Xuan had already started looking for Dong Qing's descendants for him.
There were sounds of footsteps in the room, and Xiao Lanyuan turned around immediately.
Sure enough, the door opened.
Fu Zhaoning, with a tired face, saw them as soon as he opened the door and was stunned for a moment.
"You have been guarding here all this time?"
Fu Zhaoning glanced at Xiao Lanyuan and felt a little guilty.
Because she had brought the person to the pharmacy for treatment and had just gotten him out. She didn't know about Shen Xuan, but Xiao Lanyuan's internal strength was so deep that she didn't know if he would hear anything wrong.
But Xiao Lanyuan said nothing.
He reached out his hand to help her. "You didn't stay here for long. Are you tired?"
"It's quite tiring. My legs and hands are sore."
Fu Zhaoning herself didn't even notice that she was now starting to act coquettishly and show weakness towards him.
In the past, no matter how long the operation took, when people asked her if she was tired, she would shake her head expressionlessly.
In the past, I just thought that since we weren’t that close anyway, what’s the big deal about being tired?
Can others replace her or feel sorry for her?
But now she said it to Xiao Lanyuan very naturally.
Xiao Lanyuan was about to pick her up, so she quickly moved away, "I have to go wash up first."
Although she had changed into sterile clothing in the pharmacy, she still felt that she should wash before getting close to him.
After all, she healed two people.
They have poison, wounds, blood and bacteria on their bodies.
But Xiao Lanyuan didn't listen to her and picked her up directly. "I'll carry you. Didn't you say your legs are sore? How can you still walk?"
Shen Xuan also nodded.
"I've been standing for so many hours, I can't walk anymore. Lan Yuan will take you to wash up and rest first. Here--"
Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised.
"Why don't you ask about their situation first?"
Shouldn't the first thing I said to her when I saw her was to ask how they were doing?
Xiao Lanyuan just looked at her, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear: How are they as important as you?
Shen Xuan said it directly, "From your expression, I know they are fine. At most, they haven't woken up yet. What should I pay attention to? Tell me, and I'll have someone guard them."
Fu Zhaoning let out a breath.
"My uncle really has confidence in me. They are indeed fine, but they have some wounds on their bodies and heads. The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so they won't wake up yet. Can someone move gently and carry them back to the house and keep an eye on them? Even if they wake up, don't let them move for now."
"Okay, got it. Go ahead and I'll ask the kitchen to send dinner over later. You can eat in your room. Don't be busy."
Xiao Lanyuan nodded and carried Fu Zhaoning back.
Soaking in a hot spring at this time is the best way to relax and relieve fatigue.
But Fu Zhaoning didn't expect Xiao Lanyuan to follow her into the water. She looked at him with wide eyes, "I am really tired——"
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Lanyuan laughed, turned her around, and stretched out his hands to massage her shoulders and arms.
"Your hands must be sore. Let me massage them for you."
He also used a little internal force, which made Fu Zhaoning feel sore, numb, and a little hot. He really felt very comfortable.
