Shen Xu thought Xia Zhaoyi went to Dongping Academy.
After Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu woke up, they thought Xia Zhaoyi might be at the Yamen.
During Wang Fengnian's reign, he sent someone to Ning'an House to ask if he had seen his big boss. He was informed that he had left at the end of the month.
After searching everywhere but unable to find Xia Zhaoyi, Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu went to ask Shen Xu together.
Shen Shu couldn't sleep until dawn. When he was sleepy, Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu knocked on the door.
Seeing the gauze on Shen Xu's face, and the fresh blood and pus from the wound could be faintly seen under the gauze, Mrs. Qu shook her head and said it was a pity.
Shen Xu, who was furious in front of Xia Zhaoyi, seemed to have accepted the wound calmly in just a few hours. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Erya said: "It's just a superficial appearance."
"You are open-minded." Mrs. Qu said.
"It has happened, there is no point in regretting it." Shen Shu smiled.
"Since Ah Li scratched your face, there must be a reason for Ah Li," Zhao Ning said coldly, "You must owe it."
"..."
Shen Shu smiled lightly and stepped aside: "Madams, you have to come in."
"No." Zhao Ning said.
"We are here to inquire about Ah Li," Mrs. Qu asked, "Has she said where she is going?"
"Well, as I said, we are going to Dongping Academy. What, could it be that Miss Ali hasn't come back yet?"
"It turns out it's Dongping Academy," Mrs. Qu looked at Zhao Ning, "We've looked everywhere, but we just ignored that one. I guess Ah Li went to catch up with friends."
Zhao Ning said nothing and still looked at Shen Xu.
Even Shen Xu's deep and beautiful black eyes were gentle: "By the way, Madam Zhao, you invited me to tea yesterday, and I have already drank the tea. So, when will you see me off?"
"You have to ask Ah Li." Zhao Ning said.
"I have not broken any laws, nor have I offended Mrs. Zhao. On the contrary, my brother Shen Lie has some friendship with Ning'an Lou."
"So, I invite you to tea."
Shen Xu took a deep breath, and her smile almost stiffened: "Didn't I just say that the tea is over, Mrs. Zhao, it's time to see me off."
"Ali really went to Dongping Academy?" Zhao Ning said.
"Um."
"Let's go." Zhao Ning said to Mrs. Qu.
"Mrs. Zhao," Shen Xu called, "the tea is finished."
Zhao Ning didn't look back.
Shen Shu then looked at Mrs. Qu who was smiling.
"I'm a guest, and I'm also here to drink tea." Mrs. Qu said with a smile.
Haha, Shen Shu sneered in her heart.
I was so angry that I couldn't help but start coughing again.
Okay, Shen Xu was coughing and laughing at the same time.
It depends on who of us is ruthless!
Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu went downstairs, and Zhao Ning ordered his aunt beside him to prepare the carriage.
The aunt had just left to give instructions when she saw Manager Chu coming from the front: "Madam, someone has come to Guiyuan Inn and they want to take Chen Yunqi away."
Mrs. Qu raised her eyebrows when she heard the words "Guiyuan Inn".
Since the last time Nie Huimo almost had a fight with Xia Zhaoyi at her place, Nie Huimo had no contact with her at all during this period.
In the past winter, Nie Huimo would send people to deliver large quantities of high-quality golden moon silk to Hengxiang, but now he no longer even has a letter.
Golden Moon Silk is the best among Mingyue Silks. Mingyue Silk is already a first-class satin, but Golden Moon Silk should be even more bright and gorgeous on the basis of it.
In the early years, the golden moon silk was only used as a tribute, and not everyone in the palace had it. Emperor Xuan Yan would only reward the golden moon silk when he was in a good mood.
Nie Huimo knew that Mrs. Qu liked it, so he followed Tian Dayao in his expeditions to the south and north in the past few years. He obtained extremely precious golden moon silk and sent them all to Hengxiang.
This cannot be bought with money. Although it is a pity to lose it, it does not matter. There are good cloths and silks everywhere in the world, and she has already run out of them.
Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Bring a few more people up here."
"yes!"
"Wait a minute." Zhao Ning said again.
Manager Chu was about to call someone when he stopped and waited for instructions.
Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "Prepare two sets of changeable winter clothes and some cakes for her. It will be very convenient on the road."
"Okay!" Manager Chu never raised any objection to Zhao Ning's orders.
Watching Manager Chu leave, Mrs. Qu was puzzled: "When you mentioned Chen Yunqi to me earlier, you were extremely unhappy. Why are you still so considerate now?"
"She is a woman after all," Zhao Ning still said in a cold, emotionless voice, "It will inevitably be inconvenient for men to look after her on the road. If washing her face and bathing is a problem, two more sets of clothes can change her clothes, and her body smell will at least be better."
"You are really kind."
Zhao Ning did not answer the call.
The carriage was quickly prepared and did not stop outside the main hall. Instead, it was led outside the side yard and back alley.
The corpse had been left in the main hall for just one night. The aunts felt it was unlucky and didn't want Zhao Ning to leave.
Zhao Ning is not so particular, but lets go with them.
Before getting on the carriage, Mrs. Qu sniffed, frowned and looked around.
Not only Mrs. Qu, but the maids and aunts behind them also frowned and sniffed.
Zhao Ning was wearing a veil and her reaction was slightly slow, but she gradually began to smell it.
"It's on fire!" A follower not far away suddenly pointed to the third floor of Ning'an Building, "Madam, look, there's a fire over there!"
Zhao Ning said angrily: "It's Shen..."
She stopped the last word in time.
"This person is so cruel!" Mrs. Qu shouted.
The attendants and guards beside them shouted to put out the fire, went to fetch buckets of water, and rushed upstairs.
The fire started very fiercely. A man entered the house and poured water on it. He quickly came out and shouted to Zhao Ning downstairs: "Madam, he is in the corner!"
"Find an ax and chop down the partition wall!" Zhao Ning said immediately.
"yes!"
When the servants and women behind Zhao Ning heard this, they immediately went to find the ax and bring it to him.
"Is he really thinking about it, or is he doing it on purpose?" Mrs. Qu was puzzled.
Zhao Ning said nothing, looking at the increasingly raging fire above, his eyes cold and full of anger.
When the Ning'an Building house was built, the problem of accidental fires was considered, and efforts were made to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible to prevent it from spreading to other places.
But Shen Xu set the fire really hard, burning the entire room, and most of the two rooms next door were also burned. Fortunately, the floor was originally considered for winter ground dragons, and was very thick, so he did not go upstairs.
Burn it down.
After the fire was brought under control, Shen Xu was taken down from upstairs.
He coughed very hard and didn't stop. He coughed all the way.
A sack with a hood over it half covered his tall and slender body.
But all the onlookers could see that this man had a very good figure, and even with the sack on his back, it was clear that his back was straight and straight.
And, people who were close to him noticed that he was all wet.
"Okay," Mrs. Qu said happily, "did you pour water on yourself before setting the fire?"
What answered her was that Shen Xu couldn't stop coughing wildly.
Mrs. Qu frowned and looked at Zhao Ning: "He coughed like this..."
"You all stand down," Zhao Ning said to the others.
My aunt and the maids retired happily.
The guards who brought Shen Familiar down were the ones who came to Hengxiang from the capital with Zhao Ning, and they were her completely trustworthy confidants.
Zhao Ning looked grim and asked a guard to remove Shen Xu's sack.
Under the sack, Shen Shu's black and straight hair was completely wet with water, and against his pale, bloodless face, his features and eyes looked even more sickly and haggard.
"Can you speak?" Zhao Ning said coldly.
Shen Xu sneered and looked at Zhao Ning while coughing: "Ms. Zhao, I'll cure the cough of the girl next to you. As for you, repay kindness with hatred and kindness with hatred!"
"You started the fire yourself. If you burn my building, I won't argue with you."
Shen Xu coughed more and more violently: "Which of your eyes saw me release it?"
"It's up to you to let it go."
"If you haven't seen it, then it's not."
"Looking elegant and handsome, he is still a rogue." Mrs. Qu said.
Shen Xu wanted to reply, but her throat felt itchy. She couldn't help it and started coughing again.
He was so angry, choked by the cigarette, and even poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"Cough cough cough..."
All this time, if he doesn't cough, he can insist on not coughing, but once he starts, he will never stop.
The more I cough, the more heartbroken I feel.
This was the reason why he wanted to save Yiqiu, and it was only through coughing that he could find some empathy with others.
Because I know how painful this is.
"Prepare a warm room immediately, and get some clothes that suit him." Zhao Ning looked at a guard.
"Yes!" Konoe responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the other side.
He is the one who goes upstairs to take people downstairs.
Shen Xu's cough felt a little better and she turned her eyes to look over there.
Chen Yunqi was looking at his back curiously. When he saw his face, he was stunned.
