Chapter 247 Let me hold an umbrella for you

When Shen Jingyu came back, Qin Xuerong seemed to have found her backbone.

Listening to her words, he couldn't help but whispered: "I shouldn't have kept this evil child in the first place, otherwise there wouldn't be all these disturbances today!"

"She is stealing the show at the banquet right now, stealing the praise that should have gone to you. I wonder if Concubine Jing is..."

Speaking of this, Qin Xuerong became a little worried again, fearing that recent events in the mansion would affect Shen Jingyu's marriage.

Shen Jingyu said in a gentle voice: "The Eighth Prince is not that superficial, and it is a good thing to let Shen Shuyi come forward."

As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Her constant pursuit of attention will only bring her a lot of trouble. Now Shen Shuyi has helped her divert a lot of attention, which is also a good thing.

Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with enthusiasm: "Is the Eighth Prince deeply in love with you? Yu'er, you must hold a man's heart!"

People's hearts are fickle, but if you can keep a man's heart, life will naturally be easier.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuerong couldn't help feeling a little lonely. Now Shen Jingchuan was becoming more and more impatient with her, and his initial tenderness was long gone.

If his heart is still with her, he won't have to worry about not having a chance to turn things around.

Shen Jingyu said softly: "Of course I like you, but how can I be so deeply in love with you?"

Qin Xuerong sighed and said again: "I don't know what your father thinks. It's been so long, and he didn't help you get anything."

Shen Jingyu stopped by the lake, looking at the koi in the lake, and said calmly: "Father may not be the most optimistic about the Eighth Prince. He is hesitant in his heart, but the Shen family has no more choices, so they can only wait and see."

In this court, how many people don't want to follow the emperor?

If you win, the scenery will be great, but if you lose, there will be no recovery.

Shen Jingyu didn't say anything more, just said: "If mother wants to take action against Shen Shuyi, she should do it as soon as possible."

Qin Xuerong nodded slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "I know, if it lasts too long, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."

The next day, early in the morning.

There was a light snow in the air, mixed with raindrops, bringing a slight chill.

Although the leaves on the trees are falling more and more, the solemnity of autumn is reduced, and instead some of the coldness of winter is added.

Liancheng had just arrived at the foot of the mountain of Huguo Temple when he saw a white figure standing there in the distance.

The girl was wearing a peach pink skirt and a white cloak as the snow was falling.

Jinzhu stood behind her holding an umbrella for her, and everything was quiet.

Liancheng was still dressed in tattered clothes, with two toes exposed in his cloth shoes, a wine gourd on his waist, and messy hair. He looked not much better than a beggar on the street.

Perhaps not expecting to see Shen Shuyi here, Lian Cheng frowned and asked, "Why are you here instead of painting at home?"

Shen Shuyi said gently: "It's almost done."

She just lacked a pair of eyes, which was why she had not put pen to paper yet.

Liancheng frowned, perhaps because he was feeling homesick, and did not dare to ask further questions.

"I'm here to pray for blessings. Why are you, a little girl, joining in the fun?" Lian Cheng said with some disdain.

He came here today and deliberately didn't bring anyone with him.

In addition, due to the bad weather, few people walked this road. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, only a few figures covered in frost and snow could be vaguely seen on the winding mountain road, walking staggeringly and with difficulty.

Huguo Temple is a national temple, mostly used by the royal family for prayers and sacrifices. Royal family members and officials usually take another straight road when going there. Ordinary people who want to go to Huguo Temple to pray need to take this mountain road to show their sincerity.

Therefore, although Huguo Temple is a national temple, not many people come and go. Unless someone is really obsessed with something and wants something, they will choose this extremely difficult mountain road.

"Let me hold an umbrella for you." Shen Shuyi smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Aren't you going to recite today? Has your brother recovered from his illness?" Liancheng asked unhappily.

"No, his tendons are broken. I'm afraid it's difficult to heal him with my limited ability. I can only try my best to help him recuperate." Shen Shuyi told the truth.

In other words, even if she had the ability to repair her brother's tendons and veins, she couldn't make him recover as well as Liancheng did, without any abnormality.

Lian Cheng sneered: "You are self-aware."

Shen Shuyi curled his eyes and said softly, "So I'm here to please you. I hope you get what you want and are willing to help me again."

Her voice was clean and soft, her eyes and eyebrows were curved, with undisguised flattery and purpose, but her straightforward appearance, frankness and sincerity made it difficult for people to feel disgusted with her.

Lian Cheng shook his head: "Rules cannot be abandoned. Although the rain and snow are not heavy today, it is still very cold. You are weak to begin with, so hurry home!"

Shen Shuyi was about to say something else when a carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Then, the brown cloud-patterned curtain was lifted and Xiao Tingshan got out of the car.

"Mr. Liancheng." Xiao Tingshan spoke in a gentle voice. As soon as winter came, he put on a thick fur coat and held a heater in his hands.

Even so, she still couldn't resist his pale face and bloodless lips.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Tsk, he is lacking in energy and blood, and he really looks like he will die young.

Lian Cheng's frown deepened: "What are you doing here?"

Because the Wenren Sect had displeased Liancheng last time, Xiao Tingshan only brought Songren and Songbai this time. He was as humble as ever, with a clear and distant look, appearing particularly sincere.

"Sir, you have something to ask for, and I also have something to ask for. Fortunately, you are traveling with me. I hope you don't mind." Lian Cheng spoke in a soft voice with a sincere look. There was no aggression in his eyes, but he seemed quite gentle.

Since he said this, Liancheng naturally couldn't stop him.

After all, he wasn't the one driving on this mountain road, so there was no reason for him to stop others!

Lian Cheng turned to look at Shen Shuyi and said unhappily, "Girl, go back as soon as possible and stop getting in the way!"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to get me out? Are you worried that you won't make it to the top of the mountain, and that I will laugh at you?"

Lian Cheng's beard was so angry that a few of them stood up. Shen Shuyi looked at him with his almond-shaped eyes and said gently, "I hope you get what you want, but I can't help but worry. If you faint halfway, someone will have to carry you down the mountain."

Lian Cheng was so angry that he laughed: "You might as well say you're thinking about collecting my body."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Shuyi is indebted to you, if you want to understand it this way, that's fine."

Xiao Tingshan's gaze fell on the girl in front of him, his mind racing. In just a few months, she had become different from when he first met her.

Her originally dry and dark yellow skin is now as white as snow, like a flawless jade. Her almond-shaped eyes are slightly raised at the corners, and there is an indescribable sense of distance and clarity between her brows. Her small face, which is the size of a palm, is cold and delicate. Unlike Shen Jingyu's graceful and elegant appearance, she has an indescribable aura of her own.

Thinking of her beautiful calligraphy at the banquet and her "miraculous" painting skills, and seeing how close Liancheng was to her now, Xiao Tingshan felt that he had never seen through her.
