Chapter 315 Sincerity
Because they were still some distance away, Shen Shuyi stopped and watched the show from a distance.
Although it was not yet a very cold season, Xiao Tingshan's face was pale. He had already put on a thick cloak. His face was pale and bloodless, which gave him a morbid beauty.
"Ahem...thank you Miss Lou...but it's cold right now and the journey is long, so you don't have to come all the way to deliver these."
Xiao Tingshan took the basket handed to him by Lou Yulan while coughing.
Seeing him accept the gift she gave him, Lou Yulan's face turned red, but when she looked up at the man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little more distressed.
"Mr. Song, you are seriously injured this time. Can the doctors here be trusted? My grandmother knows some imperial doctors in the palace. If you need anything, I can ask her for help."
Lou Yulan was really distressed. She felt that Song Tingshan had lost a lot of weight recently and seemed to be seriously injured.
When it came to the Qin family, Xiao Tingshan was about to refuse, but then he changed his mind and thought of Shen Shuyi, who was related to the Qin family by marriage.
After a pause, he said softly, "Mr. Liancheng is an excellent doctor. I have gotten much better these days. There is no need to trouble Miss Lou."
Hearing this, Lou Yulan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Song. A sage once said that when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry, and then increase his ability. Yulan knows that you are in a difficult situation now, but Yulan believes that you will one day achieve great things."
Song Tingshan was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect Lou Yulan to say this to him, and his expression immediately softened.
Although Shen Shuyi was standing far away, he could see clearly. Because of these words, Xiao Tingshan's eyes were more moved.
She scoffed.
So, is this the reason why he regarded Lou Yulan as his confidant and close friend in his previous life?
That's right, even though I married him when he was poor and took care of everything for him, I never looked at him with admiration and worship like Lou Yulan did.
What's more, Lou Yulan married him earlier than herself, and she was willing to be his concubine when he was in power, while she was just a piece on his chessboard in his painstaking plan.
How to make comparison?
"Thank you, Lou Gu Niang. I'll take your good words." Xiao Tingshan smiled at Lou Yulan.
In the fragmented sunlight, the man's pale and gentle face was soft and doting. Lou Yulan's heart beat faster and her face turned red with embarrassment.
If...if she could marry Mr. Song...
But the young master has always been concerned about his cousin.
Lou Yulan mustered up her courage and seemed to want to ask something else, but Xiao Tingshan took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if Lou Guniang is familiar with the second young lady of the Shen family?"
Lou Yulan initially thought that he was asking about Shen Jingyu, after all, his eyes had been following her cousin before.
It was only when he came to his senses that he realized he was asking about Shen Shuyi.
Lou Yulan clenched her fingers and whispered, "The second Miss Shen was born to my uncle's ex-wife. Strictly speaking, she is not related to us by marriage, so we are not familiar with her."
"Why did you think of asking about her, sir?" Lou Yulan asked tentatively.
Just as Xiao Tingshan was about to speak, he heard a cold voice from a distance: "If you want to know something, Mr. Song, you might as well come and ask me in person."
Hearing this, the two of them turned their heads together.
Xiao Tingshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to see Shen Shuyi again here. Lou Yulan was even more distracted.
After not seeing her for a while, the girl seemed to have grown taller. She was wearing a light blue long skirt with a smoky pink tulle on the outside. The tulle was embroidered with light golden peony flowers and auspicious birds, which made her look cold and rich.
She only wore her hair in a simple bun, with a golden hairpin embroidered with a hibiscus flower, and two gold earrings inlaid with white jade. Apart from that, she wore no other jewelry.
But even with such a simple outfit, it is hard to take your eyes off her.
The girl has cold brows and clear gaze, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes seem a little cold and indifferent, but yet, they have a kind of aloof and cold beauty, and carry an unattainable nobility.
At this moment, Lou Yulan couldn't explain why, but she felt that every piece of jewelry she had carefully selected seemed to be inferior in comparison with this girl.
Prince Song...is he attracted to her?
Xiao Tingshan came back to his senses and bowed to Shen Shuyi: "Miss Shen, I have been troubled for a long time. I don't know when I have offended you."
Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips and sneered, "Does Prince Song really want to know?"
"nature."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Maybe in the last life."
Song Tingshan paused. The two servants beside him were familiar with Shen Shuyi's character from their previous interactions, so they just endured it and said nothing.
Lou Yulan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer: "Cousin, Prince Song is sincerely asking for your advice, how can you be so rude?"
Shen Shuyi's smile widened. He turned around and looked Lou Yulan up and down. His voice was gentle, but his words were particularly domineering: "Why? Did Prince Song tell you sincerely? Or did your cousin read Prince Song's heart?"
This one sentence made Lou Yulan look ugly. She obviously didn't expect Shen Shuyi to be so ruthless.
"Cousin, you...you..."
Xiao Tingshan's expression turned cold, which was rare. "Ms. Shen has been aggressive again and again. Song has thought about it, but Miss Shen is so arrogant. Isn't she afraid of being taught a lesson?"
Shen Shuyi stared at Xiao Tingshan with his almond-shaped eyes, neither avoiding nor giving way, with a chilling look in his eyes: "So, Prince Song wants to teach me a lesson? Sure, Prince Song, just use whatever means you have, I'll just wait."
Xiao Tingshan was choked again, feeling that he had never seen such an unreasonable person!
Shen Shuyi didn't waste any more time talking to him. She turned around and asked Jinzhu to knock on the door of Liancheng's house. Xiao Tingshan's eyes fell on her and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Liancheng won't see you."
"Whether they meet or not has nothing to do with Prince Song. If Prince Song has time to worry about other people's affairs, he should worry about how many years he still has to live."
Shen Shuyi spoke bluntly.
Lou Yulan's eyes turned red with anger: "How can you say that, cousin! You have no grudge against Prince Song, how can you curse him like this! You knew that Prince Song was weak, but you were still so vicious, it's really..."
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said with a smile: "My cousin loves him so much, why don't you pledge yourself to him?"
Lou Yulan's face turned blue and red, and she was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, the door of Liancheng's house was knocked open. The medicine boy saw Shen Shuyi and was overwhelmed: "Ms. Shen... Miss Shen, the master said you are not allowed to enter the courtyard..."
Shen Shuyi was not surprised: "I'm sending something to Mr. Liancheng, ask him if he wants it?"
The medicine boy paused and said quickly: "I'll go ask, please wait."
Although Shen Shuyi did not go in, Erbao inside heard the noise and jumped out from the corner: "Miss Shen, Sister Yuping..."
Seeing Erbao, Shen Shuyi's smile became more genuine. He handed him the roast chicken, roast goose, and eight-treasure braised pork that he had asked someone to buy on the way and said, "Yuping also made a few snacks that you like. Eat these while they are hot and save the snacks for tomorrow."
