Chapter 314 So Ugly
Chapter 314 So Ugly
Several people looked at each other, and for a moment they all felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure out what it was.
"But...but Miss...what if the prince finds out?"
Yuping stammered, still worried that the Wolf King might find out about the twenty-cent hairpin the young lady gave him as a present.
After all, the Wolf King was notorious for his viciousness and cruelty. Let alone other things, just the fact that he gouged out Lin Xuan's eyes without saying a word today made Yu Ping feel a chill down her spine.
Seeing her thoughts, Shen Shuyi looked calm and said earnestly: "How can you think so much of my savior? The prince has seen life and death and enjoyed all kinds of wealth, so how could he value such vulgar things as gold, silver, pearls and jade?"
Yuping had a dazed look on her face, and seemed to be somewhat moved by Shen Shuyi's words.
Yes, they are the only two kings of different surnames in Daqian!
What kind of wealth has he not seen? Even if the young lady gave it to him, it seemed that it would not be pleasing to the prince...
This wooden hairpin, which took the young lady three months to carve by hand, is more sincere.
Yuping tried hard to convince herself, but halfway through, she felt something was wrong.
The problem is, this wooden hairpin was not carved by you, Miss!!!
Shen Shuyi ignored the question mark in Yuping's eyes, looked at Qin Xin and said, "Go."
Qin Xin swallowed her saliva, holding the wooden hairpin that felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and deeply doubted whether she would be able to come back alive.
Qin Xin trembled as she came to the back mountain, handed the hairpin to the man, and said in a weak voice: "Ms. Shen...Ms. Shen said that she has no way to repay you for saving her life. This hairpin was...she spent three months carving it by herself...I hope you don't...don't dislike it."
The hairpin fell between the man's slender and clear fingers. He lowered his head and looked at the hairpin in his hand.
The thick and simple ebony color is not a top-quality material, and the carving is rough. Two white flowers are carved on one end of the hairpin.
The engraver's eyesight seemed to be not very good, so there were many discontinuous marks on the pistil, which were not connected, making it particularly uncomfortable for the man to look at.
The only things that were barely passable were the two white petals, which seemed to have been simply polished by someone, but in the roughness they possessed an elegant, simple and quiet beauty.
Qin Xin stood three meters behind the man with her head down. Her throat was tight and she dared not breathe, fearing that in the next moment, she would be thrown to the bottom of the cliff to feed the wolves.
The man played with the hairpin between his fingertips and asked, "Carved by yourself?"
Qin Xin tried to stay calm and kept brainwashing herself: carving two strokes is also carving...
Well, Miss Shen is right!
After a while, the man said with some disdain: "It's so ugly."
Qin Xin wanted to cry even more, fearing that she would be in trouble, because her master always hated ugly things.
Ye Lan and Cang Hai, who were standing by, looked at her with sympathy.
Qin Xin wanted to cry but had no tears.
Fortunately, the man finally put the wooden hairpin into his sleeve.
"Tell Shen Shuyi that if she affects my marriage, I will definitely settle accounts with her."
"Yes."
When Qin Xin brought the words back to Shen Shuyi, Shen Shuyi was reading a book. The girl was holding a book in her hands and a cup of fragrant tea was placed on the rough wooden table beside her.
The misty hot air and the faint scent of tea blurred the girl's increasingly delicate and cool face.
Hearing Qin Xin's words, Shen Shuyi looked up in confusion.
Liquidation?
It seems that I can't hide my thoughts from that man.
Old Madam Shen has been eyeing her marriage recently, but she has no intention of getting married. This ruthless and moody prince happened to come knocking on her door, and he is an excellent shield.
Therefore, she was not afraid even if the matter of the wooden hairpin got out, as it could help prevent her own marriage. If the matter did not get out, a wooden hairpin would not be a big loss.
Ever since Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingyu had the idea of arranging his marriage, Shen Shuyi had thought about it carefully.
Although she doesn't want to get married, she may not be able to resist the world.
So she either married a civil servant who was alone and had no one at home, or she married a military general who was always on the battlefield and rarely returned home.
It would be better if the other party was smarter so that they could all save trouble.
Shen Shuyi felt that she was thinking a little far-fetched, but the current situation did not allow her to think otherwise. However, it was always better to delay it for a while.
"Just tell the prince that he is a young hero, a man of great talent and wisdom, and has many admirers. In the future, he will surely have a harmonious marriage and many children."
Qin Xin: “…”
How about you two meet up somewhere and talk face to face?
After Qin Xin turned and left, Jin Zhu couldn't help but say, "This Canglang King is quite a nice person."
Jianpo, who had been silent all this time, said: "..."
Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts and continued reading.
As the saying goes, when enemies come, we have soldiers to stop them; when water comes, we have earth to block it. Now that she has been protected by the Wolf King twice, Xiao Heyu and Xiao Yuncheng will probably have a headache for a while and will not have the time to make things difficult for an insignificant and weak woman like her.

Two days later, Shen Shuyi returned to Yunshuyuan.
After not returning home for a long time, Shen Shuyi brought her good news: "Miss, the eldest young master tried to pick up the pen today. Although he didn't write a single word, he was able to write something tremblingly."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi was in a trance for a moment, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
It seems that her efforts these days have not been in vain, but Shen Shuyi knows that according to the prescription she prescribed, it will still be difficult for her brother to recover.
Now that he has picked up the pen himself, he wonders how much pain he must endure.
"Miss, should we go and see the eldest young master?" Yuping asked softly.
Shen Shuyi shook his head and just said, "Give the cakes and books you bought on the way to your brother."
It's a good thing that he can hold a pen. Even if he can't write, at least he can turn the pages of a book.
My brother doesn't have much time left for the imperial examination next autumn, but fortunately, he has cheered up since I returned home and saw him.
Shen Shuyi looked at the time and asked Yuping to take a message to Jiang Lian: "Tell Jiang Lian that I will take her to see someone this afternoon."
"Yes."
At 2:00 pm, Jiang Lian sat in Shen Shuyi's carriage and asked curiously, "Sister Yi, who are you taking me to see? Is it important?"
Jiang Lian was still dressed as a man, her skin was darkened by some herbal smear she made herself, but her face became rounder and she looked much younger than at first.
Her eyes were bright and she looked very interested and full of life.
"He is a very important person, but I don't know if he is willing to see you. But he is a very skilled doctor. No matter what method you use, you must stay." Shen Shuyi touched her head lovingly and spoke with a smile.
The person next to Jiang Lian didn't understand much, but he understood that the medical skills were very advanced, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Sister Yi."
Shen Shuyi said again: "He has a weird temper, but he is a very good person."
"I understand." Jiang Lian became much more lively.
Quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley outside Liancheng's residence. Shen Shuyi walked in with Lianqiao and several maids, and saw a pair of familiar faces outside Liancheng's house - Lou Yulan and Xiao Tingshan.
