Chapter 11 Late at night

The night is as cool as water, and the corridor is winding.

It was already late at night, so Shen Baitang went back to Qingxue Courtyard to rest, leaving only Shen Feng hanging in the Melting Snow Courtyard, as if waiting for something.

She was sitting on the swing in the melting snow courtyard, quite bored, with a pale moonlight falling on her thin figure. Although she was swinging, her mind was wandering and she didn't know where it was going.

The swing was built by Shen Baitang four years ago. At that time, Shen Fengxu was just a young boy, living alone in the melting snow courtyard, with only maids and servants coming and going. He was extremely lonely, so Shen Baitang tried his best to find a way. Relieve Shen Fengxu's boredom.

In addition to swings, Shen Baitang also bought many interesting gadgets for Shen Fengxu. Unfortunately, Shen Fengxu had always been quiet and not as lively as others. In the end, those things were gradually abandoned.

Only the swing remains to this day.

Although these are memories from a long time ago, looking back now, my heart is still very warm.

A sweet smile appeared on Shen Fengxu's face.

But the next moment, a person suddenly appeared in Shen Fengxu's sight. He seemed to be hiding behind the wall, not daring to show his head.

So she looked a little colder and then raised her voice: "Who is it? Come out!"

"I accidentally disturbed the girl. I know my fault!"

The voice was slightly uneasy, but the speaker did not hide. He walked out from behind the wall and knelt in front of Shen Fengxu.

It is picking lotus.

Chen Fengxu frowned slightly.

If Cinnabar was here, he would probably scold Cai Lian loudly.

But Chensha just stood quietly beside Shen Fengxu, looking at Cai Lian's expression, without saying a word from beginning to end.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Shen Fengxu asked slowly, gently rocking the swing.

Cai Lian bit her lip and explained: "My maid has been busy embroidering purses and has no time to be distracted, but just now she suddenly remembered that she hadn't gone to the back hall that Sister Dansha had asked her to clean. She was afraid that she would be blamed by Sister Dansha tomorrow, so... The maid didn’t mean to disturb the girl!”

"Oh...? Did Dansha order you?" Chen Fengxu tilted his head and looked at her.

"Yes, this morning -" At this point, Cai Lian paused for a moment. Unexpectedly, she turned to look at Shen Fengxu's side, but there was still no sign of Dansha. She couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't Sister Dansha with you?"

Dansha accompanies Shen Fengxu every day, without exception.

Shen Fengxu just smiled half-heartedly: "You still have time to worry about unnecessary things. It seems that you have finished embroidering your purse?"

Cai Lian choked and lowered her head: "Not yet."

"Then go back and continue embroidering your purse."

"Yes." Cai Lian didn't dare to say anything, so she could only respond, then stood up and left.

Chen Sha watched Cai Lian leave with a thoughtful look on her face.

After a while, the moonlight was clear and cold, and the dew was thick in the night. There was a cool breeze blowing, and the spring was cold.

Chen Fengxu rolled up his sleeves slightly.

It was just a small movement, but Chensha could see it all, so she leaned a little closer to Chen Fengxu and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to go to rest? There is a maid waiting here."

Chen Fengxu smiled: "No need, Cinsha should be back soon."

So Chensha nodded and stood quietly beside Chen Fengxu.

Shen Yumin was seriously ill and it was difficult to recover. Although the medicinal materials used were not precious, both Aunt Su and Nurse Xu were just servants in the house and there was nothing they could do. Shen Fengxu ordered Dansha to go out to grab the medicine and deliver it to Xiangmei Courtyard.

Not long after, Dan Shafang came in from outside Rongxue Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chen Fengxu sitting on the swing, so she hurried over, gave Chensha an angry look, and said: "Why don't you let the girl in the house? It's so late, the night is cold and windy, and you still let the girl in?" What if you get sick while sitting in the yard?"

Chensha just shook his head slightly but said nothing.

After Dansha finished speaking, she supported Shen Fengxu and said, "Girl, please come into the house quickly."

"Has it been sent?" Shen Fengxu simply asked.

"Don't worry, young lady. I personally handed the medicinal materials into Nanny Xu's hands. There won't be any mistakes. With Nanny Xu taking care of me, Miss Qi will be fine."

Shen Fengxu felt relieved: "That's good."

"Girl, hurry up and come in. It's so cold outside. It would be bad if the girl catches the cold." Dansha was concerned about Shen Fengxu, so she helped Shen Fengxu into the room.

In fact, Shen Fengxu could have waited in the room early in the morning, but it was about Shen Yumin. Shen Fengxu felt a little worried unconsciously, perhaps thinking of the daughter he had in the past. This was probably because caring led to chaos.

After returning to the room, Dansha carefully made Chen Fengxu's bed, and still said in a whisper: "Actually, the maid didn't have to wait so long. It was just the girl's order not to let others watch. The maid hid all the way, and now it was too late. some."

"Yeah." Shen Fengxu nodded, "It doesn't matter, just deliver it."

"It's been a hard day. Girl, go to bed early."

After Shen Fengxu was lying on the bed, Cinsha and Cinsha exited the room.

After leaving the room, Chensha, who had always been silent, suddenly said: "Did you tell Cai Lian to clean the back hall?"

Dan Sha was startled and somewhat puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong? Could it be that she is lazy?"

Chensha shook his head and said no more.

Cinsha never paid attention to trivial matters, so she quickly forgot about Cinsha's words.



For several days, everything was calm in Dongningbo Mansion.

Shen Fengxu went to Yunsong Courtyard early every day to pay his respects. In her free time, she would practice calligraphy in the courtyard. Shen Baitang would also send her some famous calligraphers from time to time for her to view and copy. Occasionally, she would also visit Xiangmei Courtyard. Shen Yumin.

Shen Yumin's illness has gradually improved.

It's just that these days, Shen Yumin seems to be different from usual. She no longer always has a charming smile on her face, but becomes more and more calm. She is always alone in the room, silent, even if it is... I just endured the pain due to illness silently.

Shen Fengxu is not a doctor, so he doesn't know whether Shen Yumin's transformation is good or bad.

I can only order people to take good care of her.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

The days are leisurely and comfortable.

Shen Fengxu didn't want to be so leisurely. She was concerned about the lotus pond. Although she wanted to investigate, the mastermind behind the scenes had not made any move, so she could only stand still. If she took action rashly, she was afraid of disturbing the situation.

In this regard, Shen Fengxu was extremely patient.

On this day, Chen Fengxu was practicing calligraphy in the house.

Suddenly I heard Cinsha's voice coming from outside the door: "What are you doing here?! The girl is practicing calligraphy. Please keep your voice down. You can't bear to disturb the girl!"

The sound was like thunder, and the flowers and leaves rustled outside the curtain.

Chensha sighed softly.

The lotus collector outside the door looked troubled: "But... Sister Dansha has the loudest voice."

cinnabar:"……"

Chen Fengxu was still writing words and said without raising his head: "Chensha, go and let her in."

"Yes." Chensha responded and went out to call Cai Lian in.
