A full ten days have passed since the incident at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ten days later, the yard of the lady in the prime minister's residence was still in a mess.
So Fu Qianqian could only live in another newly-organized courtyard.
Behind the wall is Xian'er's inner courtyard in the west wing.
Regarding Xian'er's experience, Xia Shang still had to find an opportunity to chat with her alone.
It's just that Fu Qianqian is now very attached to Xia Shang. No matter where he goes, he asks Xia Shang to follow him and is inseparable.
Fu Qianqian took Xia Shang back to the new courtyard.
There was no one else in the small courtyard, only maid Xiao Bi was cleaning up inside.
This small courtyard originally belonged to a corner of the west wing, but the prime minister never married again after his wife's death, so the west wing has always been empty, and over time there has been dust everywhere.
Xiaobi was very excited when she heard that the lady was back. She had been tidying up the yard, hoping to put the lady in a good mood.
Although Fu Qianqian was usually overbearing, he was also very affectionate with the three maids.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Fu Qianqian shouted happily when she saw Xiao Bi's back: "Xiao Bi!"
The maid in front trembled all over, turned around and saw her young lady completely appearing in front of her eyes. She excitedly threw away the broom in her hand and ran over quickly: "Miss! Miss! You are back!"
After saying this, Xiao Bi was so excited that she started crying: "Miss, do you know? How worried I am during the days when you are not around?"
"Okay, okay, am I back now?"
"Miss, you haven't been wronged these days, have you?"
Fu Qianqian looked back at Xia Shang and patted Xia Shang on the shoulder: "It's okay! With this guy by my side, I feel at ease and I haven't been wronged."
Xiaobi looked at Xia Shang and saw his stubble and embarrassment. She didn't recognize him for the first time: "This is..."
Xia Shang smiled: "Little sister, you don't recognize me so soon?"
Xiaobi recognized her immediately after calling her "young lady": "Oh, isn't this my uncle? My uncle is also safe and sound. It's great."
"Uncle?!" Fu Qianqian was stunned and covered Xiaobi's mouth, her face turned red with embarrassment: "What are you talking about?"
Xiaobi disagreed and said with a bad smile: "Oh, miss, stop pretending. There are no outsiders here. I already knew about you and my uncle."
"What's going on?!" The more Fu Qianqian listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She blushed and looked at Xia Shang, "Are you talking nonsense?"
"What nonsense can I say? I'm not even familiar with your maid!"
"Then what kind of uncle is this..."
"Maybe... maybe your maid thinks we are a good match."
Seeing that the young lady was so embarrassed, Xiao Bi thought she was embarrassed and said no more. She hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, if you don't talk about this, our lady is thin-skinned."
"What is this?" Fu Qianqian was shy and wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to explain, so she could only swallow it like a mute.
"Why haven't Xiaolian and Xiang'er seen anyone?"
Fu Qianqian said instinctively.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that the two little girls had already suffered a murderous attack on the night of the incident.
For a moment, Fu Qianqian and Xiaobi looked at each other in silence, tears falling down again.
"If I had known earlier, I should have been nicer to the two girls." Fu Qianqian sobbed.
Xiaobi also nodded: "Miss, you don't know, I often bully them. It's so pitiful that these two girls are just gone. You must find the murderer and avenge them!"
Fu Qianqian clenched her fists angrily: "Don't worry, I will definitely track down the murderer and won't make it easy for them."
After talking outside the courtyard, the three of them walked into the house together and sat there in silence for a long time.
Xiaobi noticed that both of them looked unsightly.
"Miss, how about I bring you some water to wash yourself with?"
Fu Qianqian had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. She was thinking about other things before and didn't pay attention. Now when she talked about taking a bath, she suddenly felt itchy all over her body.
"Okay, come here quickly. This lady has never been without a shower for so long! It's really uncomfortable."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaobi brought a bathtub and several buckets of hot water and placed them in the side hall of the hut.
When Xia Shang saw this, he wanted to leave the house.
But Fu Qianqian stopped him: "Don't go out, just stay here."
"Ah?!" When Xiaobi heard this, her jaw dropped to the ground, "Miss, are you too bold?"
Fu Qianqian was speechless and blushed, staring at Xia Shang: "I don't care, you have to stay here. Xiaobi, go and get a screen to block it. We can wash inside and he can sit outside."
.”
Xia Shang felt a headache, thinking that this girl was too clingy, right?
However, looking at Fu Qianqian's eyes flashing, Xia Shang also saw the lingering fear and worry in them.
After all, she is a little girl. It is very difficult to maintain her current state after experiencing such a terrifying thing all of a sudden. It will take a long time to resolve the fear hidden deep in her heart.
"Okay." Xia Shang nodded.
Fu Qianqian smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and took off her clothes behind the screen.
Even though the conversation between the two was ordinary, Xiao Bi's heart was already in a state of turmoil.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that both the young lady and my uncle would have developed to such an extent...but it's not a problem to do it secretly and with such shady names. This uncle is really, after all, he has an attitude and so on!
When are you going to propose marriage, how are you going to pay the betrothal gift, and what are the etiquette and so on, you have to have a plan, right? No! This matter must be discussed with my uncle alone, and we can’t delay the young lady.”
Xia Shang was a little tired and fell asleep on the chair.
I don't know when I heard the sound of water coming from the side hall, and the warm mist filled the whole room through the screen, making everything foggy.
I could only vaguely see a figure twisting behind the screen. The slender waist and graceful posture showed a faint temptation in the mist.
"Xia Hui, are you there?"
Fu Qianqian's voice came from inside.
"here I am."
"Come here and let me take a look."
"Oh! You are so troublesome."
"Come here!"
I don’t know what is going on in this girl’s mind. One moment she is as fierce as a crazy woman, and the next moment she is acting like an unweaned baby. She is really difficult to take care of.
Xia Shang complained in his heart and mumbled closer to the screen: "Don't drag me to wash with you, I'm not such a casual person!"
"Bah!" A wet little head poked out from behind the screen, but he couldn't see it clearly under the mist.
Fu Qianqian seemed to have seen Xia Shang, and just smiled: "Well, it's good to be here."
"My aunt, please wash it quickly. I don't feel well, and I want to wash it too."
"How about we come together?"
"..."
"Giggle...you have a beautiful idea. I am just afraid that you will be seduced by the vixen next door. You must follow me carefully and don't look at that vixen." (To be continued)
