Chapter 175: Do the trick
Chen Yu advised: "Some things are not what you see on the surface. Go back. You should learn to grow up."
That's how she got through it. She herself grew up overnight after her father passed away.
When there is no one left around you, you can only learn to be strong.
This kind of growth is so painful.
"I won't leave." Pei Chunli started crying again. He said, "But I'm not here. Where should I go? I don't know."
Chen Yu felt sad, "Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up, think about where to go."
She raised her hand and tapped Pei Chunli on the back of his neck, then handed the unconscious Pei Chunli to the eunuch.
He ordered, "Send the young marquis back to the mansion. If anyone dares to take advantage of the mansion's loss of power to bully him, let them come and ask about my knife first."
The eunuch said, "Yes, Lord Yu."
After watching the eunuch send Pei Chunli away, Chen Yu went back to report to Emperor Tongxu.
When she got off work in the evening, she drove to Lu's shop to meet Manager Lu.
"I just happened to be looking for Miss, and she came to my house." Shopkeeper Lu said, "Hezhou sent something again. It just arrived yesterday. It was the medicinal herbs that Miss asked someone to find last time."
There were two brocade boxes on the table. Shopkeeper Lu pointed at one and said, "This is the Qianling Ginseng, which was originally in the storehouse of the old house in Hezhou. This black knot grass was purchased from the barbarians west of Xijue. I have never seen it and don't know if it is real or not. Miss, take them both away later."
"No need." Chen Yu said, "You can send it to the palace in person. Don't tell them that I was here today. Just tell them that I have already instructed you to send it to the palace."
Shopkeeper Lu didn't ask any more questions: "Okay."
"There's one more thing." Chen Yu frowned slightly, "I seem to have seen my brother."
Shopkeeper Lu was shocked. "Young Master? Didn't Young Master already..."
Chen Yu said: "I can't be completely sure, maybe 70% to 80% sure, but I can't understand why he wouldn't come to me if it was my brother."
"Maybe the young master has other things to do." said Manager Lu.
Chen Yu touched the box and said, "Please ask around for me. It must be kept secret."
"I know, young lady, please rest assured."
"If you find him, tell him I want to see him."
She remembered the pot of wine in front of her father's grave. She thought that Shen Yan had gone to visit the grave. Now thinking back, Shen Yan's reaction at that time was indeed a little abnormal, but she didn't think of her brother at that time.
Shen
Yu secretly returned to the Chen Mansion again.
The house deeds were cleared, and many of the servants in the mansion were dismissed, making it much more convenient to come and go.
Shen Yu returned disappointed. She actually knew in her heart that her brother would not return to the Shen Mansion, but she still wanted to try her luck.
She returned to the palace before the keys were locked and went to the duty room to rest.
"Yu Hou." "Yu Hou."
The guards saluted one after another.
Shen Yu nodded and greeted him, then entered the room and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, she realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to take action, she calmed down in the familiar breath.
A figure approached in the darkness, and the faint scent of pine became stronger.
"You are so careless." Xie Tingzhou stepped forward and said, "What if it's a bad guy?"
"Aren't you a bad person?" Chen Yu looked up at him. The room was too dark and there was no light on. Only that scorching gaze fell on her face as if it had substance.
"Is the prince not good enough to you? How greedy." Xie Tingzhou scolded her and trapped her at the door. "How did you know it was me?"
"I smell it."
Xie Tingzhou smiled and said, "Dog nose."
Chen Yu asked, "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to ask you something." Xie Tingzhou said, "I waited for you for an hour, where did you go?"
Chen Yu did not answer directly, and said: "I am on duty in front of the emperor, and there are many tasks to do."
Xie Tingzhou felt that the room was too dark and he couldn't see her face clearly. He, Xie Tingzhou, would feel comfortable only if he had her by his side all the time. If he couldn't have her by his side, he would have to settle for the next best thing and always wish he could take a few glances at her.
"Don't turn on the light." Chen Yu noticed his intention and stopped him, "There is a shadow, and people outside can see it."
Xie Tingzhou held her forehead in this position, "It's so hard to see you nowadays. If I don't go to court, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for three to five days."
He was too close, so Chen Yu calmly moved her injured left arm to the side.
Chen Yu said: "After a few busy days, we can -"
Xie Tingzhou blocked her lips and held the last few words of the sentence between his lips.
The hand on her waist tightened, causing her to shiver.
Xie Tingzhou whispered, "When I saw you wearing court robes during the court session, I wanted to kiss you. It's a pity that I can only see but not touch you, which is a waste of time."
Chen Yu was burned by her breath.
He panted with his face tilted to the side, "You were too reckless in the court today."
"What can I do?" Xie Tingzhou's eyes were somewhat dangerous. "You want to draw a line between you and me in front of others. The less we interact, the less they will believe you. Don't you have to do enough tricks first? Besides, I, Xie Tingzhou, am a playboy in their eyes. There are no shortage of impeachment memorials sent to Emperor Tongxu. What are you afraid of?"
Chen Yu said: "Usually, impeachment only says that you are not doing your job properly and your behavior is rebellious. If you are really impeached for forming a clique for personal gain, it will be a big problem."
"I don't care." Xie Tingzhou looked at her, "If that day really comes, I might as well prove the crime."
Chen Yu immediately covered his mouth, "Stop talking."
"I'll listen to you."
Shen Yu gently pushed him on the chest, "Stay away from me."
"What's wrong?" Xie Tingzhou didn't move.
“It’s too hot.”
"Are you hot?" Xie Tingzhou tilted his head and rubbed along her forehead, rubbing some thin sweat.
"Why is it hot?" he asked seductively, "Is it the body or the heart?"
"Thank you for stopping the boat." Shen Yu said warningly.
Xie Tingzhou also felt hot. Clothes were even thinner in summer. The waist under his palm was so thin that he couldn't hold it in one hand, making him reluctant to let go.
"How did you get in tonight?" Chen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou let her go, "I came in so brazenly, who dares to stop me?"
"You..." Chen Yu really didn't know what to say to him, so she could only pour herself a cup of cold tea and drink it.
"It can't be too quiet," said Xie Tingzhou.
After saying that, he suddenly grabbed her waist, turned her around, and lifted her onto the table.
With a clang, he swept the teacup on the table to the ground, which was particularly conspicuous in the night.
Chen Yu kicked him silently, listening to the footsteps approaching.
The guard knocked on the door outside: "Yu Hou, is there anything wrong?"
"Get out!" Xie Tingzhou said, turning his head towards the door.
He turned to stare at Chen Yu and whispered, "They all saw me coming in to wait for you. If I don't make some noise, then this morning's show will be in vain."
Chen Yu pinched his waist and said, "You are looking for trouble."
"I miss you." Xie Tingzhou murmured, "What can I do?"
He leaned over to remind her, "If you don't resist, people outside will think you agree. Ah Yu, you asked me to act like I'm breaking up with you. You have to act like I'm breaking up with you."
