I really want to see what she's going to do to him.
"Sure," he said lazily, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'll stay here until I'm fully recovered."
Shen Zhiyi was finally relieved after receiving his assurance.
"Miss!" Dui'er rushed in from outside, her face beaming with joy. "Great news!"
She stepped over the threshold and curtsied to the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhiyi asked. "What's making you so happy?"
Dui'er glanced at Qingyuan, then approached Shen Zhiyi and whispered in her ear through her handkerchief, "Rumor has it that Li Xianchuan had his manhood cut off last night!"
"From now on, you must not do anything to the young lady again!"
"What?!" Shen Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise. "Do you know which hero did this?"
Dui'er pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and shook her head.
"According to the servants in the manor, a sudden gust of evil wind arose, and then a scream came from Li Xianchuan's room. When the servants went to check, they found him lying in a pool of blood, his face full of pain."
"Even he himself didn't know what happened; in the blink of an eye, he became impotent!"
“What’s even stranger is…” she paused, then whispered gossip, “the thing he dropped can’t even be found at the scene.”
Shen Zhiyi was even more surprised.
"How bizarre?!"
She suddenly glanced at Qingyuan.
He sat at the table, slowly drinking water.
It was as if they couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
"That's for sure." Dui'er snorted twice. "In my opinion, who knows if it's not because he harassed too many women and got his comeuppance!"
"So God blessed him and made him a eunuch."
Shen Zhiyi chuckled, "You little rascal."
"When did you become so mean?"
Dui'er curtsied and blinked, saying, "It's all thanks to Miss's excellent teaching."
Shen Zhiyi chuckled.
“However, we still can’t let our guard down,” Dui’er said seriously. “I heard that Li Xianchuan almost went crazy last night and smashed a lot of things in the mansion.”
"I'm afraid he might be psychologically twisted and, in a fit of madness, do something bad to Miss."
Qingyuan placed the teacup on the table, making a soft, crisp sound.
A flash of coldness crossed his eyes.
Hearing the noise, Shen Zhiyi turned her head and looked at him with some surprise.
But they didn't notice anything unusual.
"By the way," Dui'er said, "the craftsmen who are repairing the cold spring have arrived. Would you like to start work now, Miss?"
"Okay." Shen Zhiyi looked away. "Let them in."
"I'll take Qingyuan to the next room."
She took her people out.
The craftsmen who were repairing the cold spring happened to come in, saw their backs, and whispered among themselves in admiration.
"No wonder Miss Shen has always refused to get married; it turns out there is such a wonderful person hidden in the manor."
"There is such a stunningly handsome man in the world."
"This cold spring is even located inside an inner room, could it be used for..."
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
My gossipy nature was immediately aroused.
"How about we help Miss Chen come up with some designs?"
The team leader slapped his thigh and immediately decided to draw a new sketch for Shen Zhiyi to review.
Who knows, I might even get a bigger reward!
Shen Zhiyi settled Qingyuan in the next room and then went to the study.
She needs to check the ancient books.
I need to find a way to trick him into crying.
She searched through all the books in her collection, but found very few records about mermaids.
Not to mention their tear ducts.
They couldn't find any clues at all.
Out of desperation, she began to read storybooks about merfolk.
Finally, I saw a sentence inside—
Mermaids only shed tears for the ones they love.
The one you love?
Shen Zhiyi frowned.
Could it be that I should try to become his sweetheart?
But she doesn't know how to pursue men...
Just as he was frowning in distress, there was a light knock on the door.
"Miss, the leader of the craftsmen team requests an audience," Dui'er said from outside the door.
"Come in." Shen Zhiyi closed the storybook.
The team leader pushed open the door and bowed as he presented the newly drawn blueprints.
"Miss Shen, please take a look. This is a new idea from us, a design we've added to the Cold Spring. Miss Shen, please take a look and see if there's anything inappropriate about it?"
Shen Zhiyi picked up the teacup and took a small sip.
He glanced at the blueprints and then burst out laughing.
