After soaking in warm water, immersed in the fragrance of flowers, washing myself inside and out and changing into clean clothes, Meiwu, which had been quiet for many days, became as lively as before.
Wang Yanzhou and Tang Chen had just showered, their hair still wet. They simply combed it neatly and let it fall to their waists. From the back, Wang Yanzhou's hair was even longer than Tang Chen's. If it weren't for the huge height difference, someone who didn't know them would have mistaken them for sisters.
After Shen Xin carefully examined the two of them with the food, he said to everyone in the room, "Everything is normal. What's wrong with your hand?"
Wang Yanzhou hadn't paid much attention to Tang Chen's hands before, but after soaking them in hot water, they were now covered in dead skin. She'd been caught on the reins before, but she'd kept it a secret, thinking it wouldn't bleed. But after all those days spent wandering in the woods, her palms felt like bark.
Wang Yanzhou looked at Tang Chen's hand and frowned. Tang Chen didn't like seeing him like this, so he just smiled and asked Chen Xin: "This is a long story. It's just a layer of dead skin. It will be fine if you tear it off, right?"
Seeing that she was about to do it after she finished speaking, Shen Xin hurriedly stopped her. If she tore it, it would feel too rough: "No need to tear it, I'll get you a medicine pack later, it will come off after washing, and then apply some moisturizer, and let it take care of it for a while, I guarantee it will be as white and tender as before."
Wang Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. Marrying his wife would bring him happiness. "That's good."
After that, they sat and chatted for a while. Tang Chen finally remembered to take the dirty clothes to wash. She casually placed the note left by the painting screen in front of the dressing table: "By the way, while everyone is here, come and take a look at this."
After Zhong Qin glanced at the contents above, she said, "Is this the thing you mentioned in the letter?"
Tang Chen nodded. She and Wang Yanzhou had been busy, studying the thing whenever they had time, but they hadn't come up with any results. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Let's see if these clever people can solve the mystery of the painting screen. "Well, bring some paper and pen and make a few copies so we can all study it."
After saying that, Tang Chen touched his hair and felt that it was almost dry, so he wanted to go out and play: "Chen Xin, is the child asleep?"
Chen Xin said: "She is probably still awake now. Shuyi said just now that she would come over after coaxing her to sleep."
After Tang Chen stretched, he was about to go out: "It's good that you're awake. I'll go play with her for a while. You guys can study on your own."
Tang Chen was about to leave when Wang Yanzhou grabbed her and said, "Don't worry, eat the bird's nest first. I asked someone to stew the blood bird's nest, and it should be delivered soon."
"Oh, I'll wait a little longer then." Tang Chen immediately returned to her seat when she heard about bird's nest. Bird's nest, to be honest, doesn't really have much taste, but it's been said to be a good thing since ancient times. Eating it is good for beauty and nourishing the skin. She had also gotten a tan recently, so she needed to replenish it.
Wang Ruo avoided the secret guards stationed in various places in the palace and stood under an old plum tree outside the Plum Garden. Listening to the voices coming from the house, Wang Zhen couldn't help but feel happy: "These must be the children that my sister mentioned. They have grown up and have children now. Time flies. If only she could live to see this, how wonderful it would be..."
After finishing a bowl of bird's nest, Tang Chen didn't even bother combing his hair. He ran off to find Liang Shuyi. While the other men were still trying to decipher the code, Tang Chen came running back, panting.
Seeing her trotting in, Chen Xin thought something had happened: "Didn't you go to see Xiao Shuang'er? Why are you back so soon?"
Tang Chen gestured for him to look at the large pool of unknown liquid on his skirt, and said, "Ah, your little baby rewarded me with a big treasure. I came back to change clothes."
"puff!"
Hearing Chen Xin's smile, Tang Chen's face flushed instantly. She was afraid of being seen, so she rushed back. She knew they would laugh, so she was unhappy: "What are you laughing at? If your daughter wasn't so cute, and she wasn't yours and Shu Yi's daughter, I would have cried and blamed her a long time ago!"
Chen Xin smiled and waved her hand to signal her to go into the inner room quickly: "Yes, yes, change your clothes quickly!"
Tang Chen hadn't even finished changing when Liang Shuyi arrived. She'd just heard Tang Chen say they were busy, and since she had some free time, she came over to see if she could help out. "How's your research going?"
"Is the child asleep?"
As he spoke, Chen Xin hurriedly stood up and gave his seat to Liang Shuyi. Liang Shuyi smiled and said, "He just fell asleep. The wet nurse is watching him. Don't worry."
Wang Nianqing looked at the couple and shook her head slightly before replying, "No results yet. We've tried every method, but none of them seem right."
Liang Shuyi picked up the contents they had sorted out on the table, looked at them, and said, "Could it be that we are heading in the wrong direction? Or perhaps, we are overthinking it?"
After that, Tang Chen also came out from the inner room and said, "Maybe it's a problem of punctuation."
Zhong Qin sighed and said, "We've tried punctuating it. Look at these, they were just sorted out."
After Tang Chen took the thick stack of papers from Zhong Qin, he couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, you four are amazing. I was only out for a short while, and you already have so many things. By the way, four? Where's Black Crow? Where did that old man go?"
If Tang Chen hadn't mentioned it, Wang Yanzhou would have almost forgotten about Black Crow. "Yes, I wanted to ask just now, but I forgot about it for a moment. Did Brother Li go out to take a job?"
Zhong Qin said, "He said that you two went out to play without waiting for him, and the next day he packed up his things without even telling us in advance, and ran away alone."
Tang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "No way! Never mind, he's an adult now, it's okay. Let someone look for him and just follow him quietly."
Wang Nianqing said, "It's not easy to follow him. He disappears when you're not paying attention, and then pops up again when he's feeling happy."
Tang Chen agreed. "That's his style, after all. He's a professional anti-stalker. Anyway, he's been so caught up in the haunting of a broken heart that he thought I was lying when I said I was leaving."
Speaking of Hei Ya's heartbreak, there was still a question that lingered in everyone's mind, unanswered for a long time: "Come to think of it, Miss Xihe's identity is indeed very suspicious."
Although Liang Shuyi was not able to move around during that period, she had heard Chen Xin talk about it many times: "She, Yao Chen, and that old man..."
Tang Chen was also curious, but fortunately, Xihe had voluntarily left this time. The elder who had taken her away was also her relative, so her safety was guaranteed. He could put this matter aside for now.
