After Han Rou persuaded her, Lian Rufeng naturally treated her as she should.

After changing the medicine, perhaps because the worries in her heart were relieved, or perhaps because Shen Qingyun was by her side, Han Rou's condition was getting better day by day visibly.

Every afternoon, Shen Qingyun could accompany her for a walk in the yard and chat.

Because of the unstable border situation and the initial effects of Han Rou's illness, they almost stayed behind closed doors. Whatever they needed to purchase, the people below would naturally do it.

In the afternoon of this day, Han Rou went back to her room to rest. Shen Qingyun took Pearl with her, and the two of them walked around the entire mansion without anything else to do.

Just as I turned an intersection, I bumped into someone.

"Ah!" The woman exclaimed and took a step back. Unexpectedly, she accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

Shen Qingyun was supported by Pearl, so naturally she was fine. She was also shocked: "Who are you? Are you fine?"

Pearl also hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up.

"Thank you." The woman stretched out her hand in embarrassment. When her sleeve slipped down, she suddenly revealed a red-purple bruise on her elbow, as if it had been whipped.

The woman also saw it, and she quickly retracted her hand as if frightened, pulled down her sleeves, covered her arms, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, and stood up.

Pearl's eyes flashed, she opened her mouth but said nothing, she just stood silently back to Shen Qingyun.

The woman also looked at Shen Qingyun in confusion. When her eyes were fixed on Shen Qingyun's delicate face, she was almost stunned and felt at a loss for a moment.

The woman in front of her is wearing a lavender skirt. Although there is no embroidery on the skirt, it can be seen that the fabric is soft and smooth, and the tailoring is exquisite. It modifies her figure and makes her skin whiter and more delicate. His pure nobility makes him look like he is not from Tianshui City.

Moreover, I guess she is not a girl from an ordinary family.

The woman was so nervous that she didn't know what to say.

The maid who was passing by saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

It turned out that this woman's name was Qiuniang, and her husband Zhao Hong was a fire-fighting soldier in the military camp. He was also good at making delicious food, and he also ran a small stall where he usually sold food to support his family.

When Han Rou first arrived at the border, she was a little acclimated and couldn't eat much. Xiao Jue happened to pass by Qiuniang's stall and heard someone say that Qiuniang's noodles were good, so he bought some and took them back without thinking. It's quite to Han Rou's liking.

As they came and went, Qiuniang would bring some food over from time to time, and occasionally chat with Han Rou to relieve her boredom.

Now if I look closely at her basket, it seems to be steaming.

Qiuniang also found out that Shen Qingyun was Han Rou's daughter, and quickly apologized: "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry. I was walking in a hurry just now, and I didn't expect to bump into you."

After Shen Qingyun found out, she was very grateful to Qiu Niang for being able to accompany her mother from time to time: "I didn't notice it either, it's okay. Is your hand okay?"

Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I wasn't paying attention a few days ago and I accidentally got hurt."

But the long scar slanting across the arm was not caused by any collision at all.

Shen Qingyun did not expose it and asked the maid to lead Qiuniang to Han Rou's place.

As soon as Qiu Niang left, Pearl couldn't help but be curious: "Miss, I just saw that Qiu Niang also had a scar on the back of her neck. It seemed to be the same as the injury on her elbow. This shouldn't be an accidental bruise, right? But why would she lie?"

Shen Qingyun frowned slightly: "I don't know, but since she doesn't want to tell, it's natural not to ask more questions."

The two of them didn't plan to delve into it further, so they went back to their room directly.

After walking for a while and feeling tired, Shen Qingyun wanted to ask Yi Cui to make a pot of tea.

But when I got to the room, I didn't see her anywhere.

Pearl sighed and hurriedly went to make tea, muttering: "I don't know where Yicui has gone. Why can't I find her recently?"

Hearing what she said, Shen Qingyun said softly: "I see that she always seems to be lost in thought, but she has something on her mind. If you have time, please comfort her."

Pearl nodded and said with a smile: "Young lady is the most attentive."

She didn't pay much attention to it, but when she returned to the room, she happened to see Yi Cui sitting there again wondering what she was thinking.

So, she walked quietly behind Yi Cui and suddenly let out a "wow" sound.

"ah!"

Yi Cui was so frightened that she covered her heart and started to jump. She turned around and saw that it was Pearl. She was so angry that she punched her twice: "Okay, you almost scared me to death!"

Pearl came over with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in thinking. Are you secretly missing your sweetheart?"

What was originally just a joke made Yicui freeze on the spot.

His face turned red instantly.

When Pearl saw it, her eyes widened: "No, is it true? Did I guess it?"

Yi Cui hurriedly covered her mouth: "Keep your voice down, I'll disturb the lady later."

Pearl quickly lowered her voice, but her face was very joking: "Don't be afraid, Miss already knows it!"

"What!" This time it was Yicui who exclaimed in surprise.

Pearl burst into laughter and said, "No, Miss just happened to mention something, saying that you have been distracted recently and asked me to comfort you. I didn't expect that I was so smart and hit the mark right away."

Yicui felt slightly relieved.

"So who is your sweetheart? Can you tell me?" Pearl stepped forward and asked.

"How can I have a sweetheart?" Yi Cui shyly swatted her hand away.

The two maids laughed and made a fuss, but in the end she said nothing. Although Pearl was angry, she gave up questioning.

But now that Shen Qingyun had noticed the signs of this matter, Yicui thought about it, made up her mind, and prepared to confess.

After all, she was not young anymore and it was time to get married. She had been waiting just for Han Yu.

So at night, Yicui took the initiative to find Shen Qingyun.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I've been..." She took off the hairpin on Shen Qingyun's head while hesitating on how to speak.

Shen Qingyun looked at her troubled expression through the bronze mirror, turned around and smiled: "What's wrong? Just tell me what's on your mind."

Yi Cui bit her lip: "Miss, actually, I have fallen in love with someone, and I want to ask you to allow me to get married."

Shen Qingyun had some premonition in her heart, so she was not particularly surprised, but asked seriously: "Who is this person?"

Yi Cui clasped her hands, inhaled nervously, and finally murmured in a low voice: "It's Han Yu."

Shen Qingyun was stunned.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yi Cui became a little flustered: "Miss, do you think we can do it?"

Shen Qingyun did not answer directly, but asked: "Then have you told Han Yu what he thinks?"

Yi Cui lowered her head angrily, her face red all the way to her neck: "I don't dare to say anything yet, I just want to ask the lady's opinion first."

Privately, she felt that Han Yu listened to the young lady so much, and if the young lady agreed, maybe Han Yu would not refuse.
