Chapter 79 Misunderstanding
"Brother, from now on you are my big brother!" Ruan Jingtang's dark eyes were very serious, and there was also a hint of flattery. "Can you do it for me now, brother?"
Chen Zhang's heart skipped a beat when she called him "brother," and suspicious red marks appeared on his ears. "You...what are you yelling about!"
Ruan Jingtang came closer and circled around him like a puppy, "Didn't you say you only do it for your sister? Now I'm your sister too, you have to do it for me."
It doesn't even cost money, I'll do it for her for free.
Ruan Jingtang was ultimately unable to reach Chen Zhiyang's yard because she was taken to the flower hall by Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang was at a loss as to what to do with this adopted sister who had blackmailed him. After hearing Yun Ling say that the person was brought by Chen Shuwei, he took the person back to find Chen Shuwei.
But when people arrived at the flower hall, they saw only Wang Peilan admiring the flowers and drinking tea, with no sign of Chen Shuwei.
Wang Peilan was stunned when she saw Shen Zhang coming with her daughter. "Just now, a guard came and said that Master Jing was not feeling well and wanted Miss Shen to go and see him."
Thinking of what the guard had just said, Wang Peilan's heart began to beat fast.
Young Master Jing, your surname is Jing, not Chen. Could he be the pretty boy that Miss Chen keeps in the mansion?
Then her second son is completely doomed.
Shen Zhang's face stretched long when he heard Jing Yin's name. His reaction made Wang Peilan feel that she had guessed right, and she felt even more regretful in her heart.
The girl I finally liked was snatched away by someone else so early on.
-
Shen Shuwei was unaware of the strange atmosphere in the flower hall because she was detained by Zhao Yun.
Half a minute ago, Xun Xiao suddenly came hurriedly and said that Jing Yin had been coughing since he woke up this morning, and he had just vomited after taking the medicine.
Chen Shuwei thought that Wang Peilan had always been in poor health, and with the recent plague raging, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he didn't want to leave Wang Peilan alone here as a guest.
Fortunately, Wang Peilan was considerate and told her to go over and take a look quickly without worrying about herself.
As soon as Shen Shuwei entered Zhao Yun's yard, he saw him sitting leisurely in a rocking chair tending to flowers and plants. He didn't look unhappy at all.
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xun Xiao. The latter didn't dare to speak and just stood by with his hands hanging down.
He didn't know that the prince had such sharp ears. After hearing Ruan Jingtang introducing his second brother to Miss Shen, he wanted to bring the person over himself.
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Xun Xiao said you were not feeling well, but what was wrong?"
Zhao Yun clenched his fist, covered his lips and coughed softly a few times.
Xun Xiao understood and raised his head, taking the blame. "Young Master has been refusing to take the medicine, so I had no choice but to make up a lie and invite the young lady over."
As he spoke, Xun Xiao brought out a bowl of steaming medicinal soup. Even though Chen Shu was some distance away from Xun Xiao, he could still smell the pungent bitter taste of the soup.
She frowned subconsciously, "Didn't I order that all the medicines in Jingyin Courtyard be replaced with pills in the future? Where did the medicine soup come from?"
Xun Xiao gritted his teeth, looked at the leisurely and contented prince over there, lowered his head and continued to take the blame, "It's my fault. I lost your medicine pills for today, so I can only make a bowl of medicine soup."
Zhao Yun put down the scissors in his hand at the right time, walked slowly towards Shen Shuwei, and glanced at the bowl of medicine without leaving a trace. "The medicine is bitter, young lady, can you stay with me and drink the medicine before leaving?"
Chen Shuwei looked at him, and suddenly smiled, took the bowl, blew on it, and then put the whole bowl to his lips, "Drink it, I'll leave after you finish it."
If she couldn't see that he was pretending, her life would be in vain.
Zhao Yun's perfect smile showed a crack, while Xun Xiao lowered his head and pretended not to hear, silently handing over a spoon.
Chen Shuwei glanced at Xun Xiao with a half-smile, "Xun Xiao, you really care about Jing Yin, and you have a tacit understanding with him. It doesn't seem like Jing Yin bought him halfway, but rather like they have known each other for a long time."
Xun Xiao was shocked. He had been avoiding the prince in the mansion and would not come to him unless necessary. He did not expect Miss Shen to be so perceptive.
Zhao Yun also glanced at Xun Xiao, took the medicine handed to him by Chen Shuwei and drank it all in one gulp, "Miss, you are worrying too much. He is just used to serving others and is subconsciously trying to figure out his master's intentions."
Shen Shuwei originally just wanted to teach Jing Yin a lesson and had no intention of making him drink the bowl of medicine.
Seeing him drink the whole bowl of medicine, although he was surprised, he still raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
She didn't like him deceiving her with physical things.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have rashly invited the young lady here and disturbed her banquet." Zhao Yun looked at the indifferent Shen Shuwei, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Shen Shuwei calmly put down the bowl and said, "Since you have taken the medicine, it is none of my business. Next time, don't casually say that you are not feeling well."
After Shen Shuwei left, Xun Xiao looked at Zhao Yun and wanted to speak, but he kept his mouth shut.
The prince is in a bad mood right now, so he'd better not rush into trouble.
After a while, a little girl from the kitchen brought in a portion of candied fruit and a bowl of sweet water.
The little girl was originally making fire in the kitchen, and was suddenly asked by her master to deliver something to the master of the mansion, who was the handsome and extraordinary Master Jing. Her cheeks flushed along the way, and she deliberately spoke in a soft voice.
"Sir, this is what the third lady asked me to deliver."
Xun Xiao hurried forward to take it and asked the little girl to leave.
The little girl secretly glanced at Zhao Yun. Seeing that he looked like a god, she bit her lower lip unwillingly and said, "Sir, you should try the candied fruit and sweet water first. If you don't like it, I will make another one."
Zhao Yun, who had been sitting in the chair without any reaction, suddenly moved. He looked at the little girl, a smile on his lips, but no smile in his eyes. "You did it?"
The little girl was delighted and quickly replied, "This servant did it."
The sweet water was made by her, but the candied fruit was pickled by the third girl herself. It had been kept in the kitchen and she was asked to take it out and send it to her just now.
The smile on Zhao Yun's lips deepened a little, and he looked at the two things without saying a word.
But the little girl couldn't see the situation clearly and still wanted to get closer. Xun Xiao was afraid that his own prince would go crazy and break her neck, so he quickly drove her out.
The little girl was driven out by Xun Xiao and was warned to leave quickly. She was confused for a while and then became depressed.
Why? We are all servants, who is more noble than who? Why should he chase her away? Master Jing has already taken the initiative to talk to her. If she says a few more words, maybe she can catch Master Jing's eye!
Thinking of Jing Yin's appearance, the little girl's heart was moved again. She secretly glanced at the surrounding scenery and hid behind a tree, planning to wait until the guard named Xun Xiao left before going in to find Jing Yin.
Just when she had been hiding behind the tree for a long time and her legs were numb from squatting, the courtyard door opened and Xun Xiao came out with two bowls of food and fell to the ground.
A familiar but indifferent voice came from the courtyard, "Stay away from this disgusting thing."
The little girl's face suddenly turned pale.
When Shen Shuwei came to the kitchen to check on the snacks and tea delivered to the flower hall, he saw the little girl he had met earlier huddled behind the stove and sobbing.
