Chapter 60 Taking the Blame
Chen Yu lay in bed for two days.
This doctor is a very skilled doctor and the medicine he used was very good. After the fever subsided, the wound on my back healed quickly.
Everyone in the mansion knew that she had been whipped. When she was leaving the east gate, the doorman smiled and asked if she was feeling better.
As soon as she left the house, the doorman went to Qingpu Residence to report the news.
Chen Yu walked around the street as usual and went into the clothing store opened by Lu.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw her, he invited her into the inner room, closed the door and said, "Miss, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for many days."
Chen Yu sat down, "Did Chen Yan reply to my letter?"
Most of the shopkeepers of the Lu family were the sons of Lu family servants, who were trained from childhood and then sent to various places.
First, he wanted to use him, and second, his family members were all in Lu's company, making it easier to control him.
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and said, "I sent a letter to the Second Miss on the third day of the New Year, but there has been no reply. However, there is news in Hezhou. It is a letter from the old lady and Miss Hongqiao."
"Give it to me quickly." Chen Yu stretched out her hand.
Old Mrs. Lu is also a legendary woman. Although the Lu family was very wealthy back then, it was far from being as prosperous as it is today. It was Old Mrs. Lu who single-handedly brought the Lu family to where it is today.
The old lady had no sons, only one daughter who was married far away.
Later, the old lady adopted a son from the clan, hoping to have some help. Now the uncle's son who was adopted is several years older than Chen Yu.
The Lu family is very wealthy, so it doesn't matter if some of it is divided up. The old lady once said that the bulk of it should be kept for Shen Yu and Shen Zhao.
Shopkeeper Lu took out the letters, and Shen Yu followed the handwriting and opened the one from her grandmother and looked at it quietly.
Shopkeeper Lu didn't bother her and waited for her on the side.
In the letter, grandmother said she missed her very much and was worried that her daughter was suffering too much and couldn't make it. She said she knew what she wanted to do. Although grandmother only hoped that she was safe and happy, she would support her behind the scenes in whatever she wanted to do.
There was only one thing he told her, which was to take care of herself and not take any risks. If she couldn't hold on any longer, she should go back to Hezhou, where her grandmother was.
After reading the letter from her grandmother, Shen Yu pursed her lips and wanted to cry, but she sniffed and held back her tears, then she opened the letter from Hong Qiao.
Hong Qiao has been in Hezhou for a long time. She has been collecting information from various places for Chen Yu and helping Mrs. Lu.
She said in the letter that the old lady had been in poor health in recent days, but she didn't let anyone tell Chen Yu, for fear that she would disrupt her plans and hold her back.
Seeing this, Shen Yu couldn't help but shed tears.
Land Palm
The cabinet retreated tactfully.
Chen Yu didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong.
Should I give up hatred and cherish the people around me, or continue along this more difficult path?
She thought about it for a long time in the room but couldn't find the answer.
Before leaving, she left two letters for her grandmother and Hongqiao with Shopkeeper Lu, and asked Shopkeeper Lu to deliver the letter to Chen Yan.
When Xie Tingzhou came back from outside, before he reached the door of Qingpu Residence, he saw a person standing upright at the door.
He slowed down his pace for a moment, then walked over as usual, looking down at her, "You are not on duty today, what are you doing here?"
Shen Yu nodded, "No, I came to thank His Highness."
Xie Tingzhou stepped into the courtyard, and Chen Yu followed him consciously, "Where did your highness go today? I have been waiting here for a long time."
The whereabouts of her master was not something that a guard like her should know, but Xie Tingzhou did not blame her, and Xifeng, who was following behind her, naturally would not remind her.
Xie Tingzhou heard some complaints from her, "I went to see the old master for his birthday."
Speaking of the Grand Tutor, Chen Yu thought of Yu Wanqiu.
The Yu family has produced two Taifus, one is Yu Wanqiu's grandfather and the other is her father.
I guess Yu Wanqiu already knew the news of her brother's death in the war. I wonder how she is doing now.
With a thought, Chen Yu asked tentatively: "I heard that the young lady of Master Yu's family is very beautiful. Has Your Highness seen her?"
Xie Tingzhou suddenly stopped and turned around, "Why, are you interested in Miss Yu?"
"Of course not," Chen Yu laughed dryly, "I just want to see what a beautiful woman looks like."
Xie Tingzhou: “General.”
After they entered the room and the maid served tea, Xie Tingzhou asked, "What do you need to thank me for?"
Chen Yu said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."
"Are you mocking me?" Xie Tingzhou picked up the teacup.
After a man is whipped so hard that he cannot get out of bed, he turns around and says thank you for not killing him. Isn't this irony?
Chen Yu looked puzzled, and then said, “Thank you, Your Highness, for finding a doctor to treat my injuries and arranging a maid for me.”
Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips slightly, "It's not me. If you want to thank someone, it's Xie Xifeng."
Xifeng stood at the door, raised his hand and pointed at himself, looking confused.
Chen Yu looked back at Xi Feng and said, "Xi Feng will not make decisions on his own without your Highness's order."
Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "He doesn't have even this little right."
Xi Feng stood behind her, feeling grief-stricken. When Shen Yu turned around for the second time, he said with a heavy face, "Indeed... it was me."
Regardless of whether Shi Yu believed it or not, he certainly could not offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person.
When it is time to take the blame, he, as the leader of the guards, must step forward.
Xifeng also couldn't understand why His Highness was pushing it onto him when it was clearly a good thing.
Chen Yu's eyes wandered between the two of them, and then she walked up to Xi Feng, "When is your turn to rest?"
Xi Feng answered reluctantly: "Tomorrow."
Chen Yu nodded, "That's perfect. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow at Shiyue Pavilion in the city."
Xifeng glanced at the Crown Prince. Xie Tingzhou was leaning back in his chair, looking at him lazily.
"There's no need to treat me to a meal," Xi Feng felt a chill down his spine, "It's all..."
"Dinner? Who's inviting me to dinner?" Chang Liu came in, "Why didn't you invite me?"
Chen Yu smiled and said, "You come too, call all the brothers who are not on duty tomorrow."
Chang Liu didn't know what had just happened, and said with a smile: "Then... shall we invite His Highness?"
Chen Yu glanced at Xie Tingzhou and said, "If Your Highness is willing to condescend, Shi Yu will naturally welcome you."
Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly, neither saying yes nor no.
Shen Yu took two steps toward the door and suddenly stopped.
She really wanted to find someone to talk to. In the past, there were fathers and brothers, but now there was no one. Looking at the whole Shengjing, the person she had spent the most time with in her life was actually Xie Tingzhou.
Seeing her hesitation, Xie Tingzhou put down the teacup and asked, "Anything else?"
Chen Yu took a breath, mustered up the courage to turn around, and glanced at Xifeng and Changliu.
Xie Tingzhou understood and waved his hand. Xifeng and Changliu left, closing the door behind them.
"Sit down." Xie Tingzhou said.
Chen Yu didn't bother to be polite with him and sat down opposite him.
When the two of them were together, they could always recall memories of the journey. Without the guards and maids, he seemed like Xie Tingzhou, who was still weak and unable to take care of himself, and she had to do everything for him.
But whenever there were people around, he became the superior, powerful, and indestructible Prince of Beilin.
Xie Tingzhou knew that she had something to say, so he didn't rush her. Instead, he picked up a book and started reading.
"Your Highness said that it's fine to be casual when there's no one around, but is that true?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her and said, "I want to see how casual you can be."
