Chapter 72 Heartbeat
The floor tiles were the same as the other floor tiles in the yard, nothing special.
If I had to point out the difference, it would be that the color of that brick is newer than the others.
A terrible thought flashed through Shen Yu's mind. She lowered her eyes and stared at Shen Yan and asked, "Why did you change the brick at your door?"
Shen Yan's expression suddenly froze, "You want to care about changing a brick?"
Her expression confirmed Shen Yu's guess.
She squatted down, moved as fast as lightning, and grabbed Shen Yan's neck, "I'll ask you again, where is the green medicine?"
Shen Yan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and she pried her hands apart with force, "No... I don't know."
Several maids rushed over and were kicked to the ground by Chen Yu.
"Don't... don't call anyone." Seeing the maid preparing to go out to call for help, Chen Yan said with difficulty.
Chen Yu threw her to the ground and said, "Have you been to my yard? The bricks at the door are covered with patterns. Lu Yao likes to sit on the ground at the door and draw when she has nothing to do. Don't tell me that your maid has this hobby too."
Lu Yao must have come to see Chen Yan and handed the letter to her, but Chen Yan still insisted on mourning her.
What about green medicine? Where is it now? Will it...
Shen Yu didn't dare to think further.
Lu Yao knows kung fu, and the maidservant beside Shen Yan is definitely no match for her. She might have drugged her when she let her guard down.
"You want money and status, I don't care about these, I can give them to you, but you shouldn't scheme against me, and you shouldn't touch my people."
"I'll give you a deadline. I want to see Lu Yao within three days. This is my last chance for you, because you are still the blood of my father left in this world. If I still can't see her after three days, then you will know what kind of person I am."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Chen Yan suddenly got up from the ground and staggered out, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?!"
"Okay." Chen Yu stopped and looked back, "Don't forget that you held a funeral for me without permission, and you also committed deceiving the emperor. Nine clans will be executed, but isn't your Chen Yan among the nine clans? Let's go together and apologize to our father."
Shen Yan's face turned pale instantly.
They now have each other's leverage, so she shouldn't be afraid of Chen Yu, but Chen Yan knows that she can't beat her.
Shen
When Yu came out of Chen's house, there was no moon in the sky and a light drizzle was falling.
She looked back. The bleak night wind blew the lantern on the door swaying, and even the figure was blurred by the rain curtain.
This place can no longer be called home.
She sighed, turned around and walked back slowly.
But in a moment, a black shadow flashed on the eaves and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
Lumingxuan is right next to the east gate of the palace. It only takes a short walk to get there after entering the gate.
Suddenly, a dog barked at the end of the trail.
“Woof——”
Chen Yu looked up and saw a dog running towards her excitedly from the entrance of Lu Ming Xuan.
"Da Huang!" Chen Yu ran two steps happily, squatted down and let Da Huang pounce on her.
Dahuang rubbed her legs and almost broke his tail.
"Why are you here?" Chen Yu rubbed Da Huang's head and heard him bark twice.
There was a person standing at the door.
She looked up at Xie Tingzhou, and they looked at each other, and understood the meaning from each other's eyes.
Chen Yu lowered her head, hugged Da Huang tightly, and confirmed again in disbelief, "Grandpa..."
"Come in." Xie Tingzhou said.
It was getting late and Erya was dozing off in the porch. When she saw the two men come in, she rubbed her eyes and got up to serve tea and water.
Chen Yu lowered her head, as if she had been saying goodbye to different people since her rebirth.
First my father, then my brother, then my grandfather...
She didn't know if this was a punishment. Why did the only warmth she had ignore her?
Dahuang sensed her low mood and lay on the ground, clinging to her legs.
Xie Tingzhou stood at the door. She was stronger than he thought. He thought she would cry.
"My father-in-law left those huts to you so that you can have a place to stay when you have nowhere else to go."
Chen Yu raised her head and asked, "Did he die in pain?"
Xie Tingzhou lied under her expectant gaze, "It's not painful."
Shen Yu nodded, even if it was just comfort, she needed it at the moment.
Xie Tingzhou pursed his lips, his eyes fell on the back of her hand on her leg, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Only then did Shen Yu see that the backs of his two hands
There were several bloodstains on it, probably caused by her when she was strangling Shen Yan's neck.
"I was scratched by a dog," she said.
Dahuang raised his head and barked.
"It's not you," she touched Da Huang, "it's a mad dog. I thought she was as docile as you."
Xie Tingzhou understood what she meant and asked, "Where's the medicine?"
"What medicine?" Shen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her quietly, "Golden healing medicine."
"Oh," Chen Yu said, "It's all used up. I wonder if the doctor has any more."
Xie Tingzhou was speechless, "You've used up all that big bottle of medicine?"
Chen Yu nodded, "Yes, there are quite a few wounds on the back. You don't know if you haven't seen it."
Xie Tingzhou turned his face away.
How could he not have seen it? He saw it so clearly that now, whenever he closed his eyes, he could still recall the scene.
Xie Tingzhou turned his head and called out to the door, and a secret guard jumped down from the roof and landed silently.
The secret guard came and went without a trace, and disappeared again after a moment after delivering a bottle of golden medicine.
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand and threw the medicine to her.
Shen Yu took it and took a look, "Not like last time."
The medicine was worth a fortune, but he was not stingy with the money. The main reason was that it was made by the genius doctor Master Song Shi. The medicine was hard to come by, and there were only a few bottles in the world.
"You are not that precious." Xie Tingzhou said.
Chen Yu snorted, called Erya to bring some water to wash her hands before rubbing them on the back of her hands.
The medicine was applied in a mess. Xie Tingzhou couldn't bear to look at it for a while, so he stepped forward and took the medicine from her.
"hand."
The two had been giving each other medicine on the road for a long time and were already used to it.
Coincidentally, both of them were injured on their arms along the way. If they were injured somewhere else, they could have treated it themselves.
Xie Tingzhou's fingers are as slender as green bamboos, with slightly protruding joints. Such a pair of hands is pleasing to the eye no matter what he does.
Shen Yu stared at his hand for a moment, then moved her eyes upwards to Xie Tingzhou's face.
This face is pure and otherworldly, just like a person from heaven, with mountains and rivers as eyebrows, and stars and moons as eyes. It is charming when smiling, and heart-piercing when cold.
Chen Yu's heart suddenly beat abnormally, and her fingers curled up. She stared at his face in a daze for some reason.
