The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 727: Bitter Fruit

This scared Atractylodes.

Cang Shu hurriedly slowed down the speed of the carriage, thinking of stopping to get into the carriage to first check on his son's condition, and then decide whether to continue to go to the Meng Mansion.

But as soon as the carriage slowed down, he heard Yu Minglu's voice from inside the carriage: "Don't stop! Go faster."

"Yes!" Cang Zhu didn't dare to stop anymore. He waved the whip and the horse went forward again, this time even faster.

When Meng Shisan heard Shangchun come to report that Yu Minglu was visiting, she deliberately glanced at the hourglass on the table in the inner room: "One minute to the hour of Hai..."

"That's right." Shangchun thought of the fishing match that Baozhu had described to her in detail, and the various behaviors of the young masters from various mansions when they ran to their young ladies. "Miss, did the young imperial doctor Yu also hear that you were not feeling well when you returned home this afternoon, so he came here specially to check your pulse now?"

Baozhu listened and nodded: "I think so too!"

"Please go to Qingmingtang to enjoy the tea." Meng Shisan's idea was actually the same as Shangchun Baozhu's.

This time, Yu Minglu did not go directly into the Taichen Courtyard in the backyard. He knew the reason, but he could not suppress the uneasiness in his heart. He was afraid that Meng Shisan would avoid him from then on because of his further actions by the Canghong Lake.

But now, he was invited to the front yard hall of the Meng Mansion to serve tea, which made him very nervous.

Since Yu Minglu was the medical officer who had frequently come to the Meng Mansion in recent months to nurse Meng Shisan back to health, even though the timing of his return was not right and Yu Minglu was not invited by the Meng Mansion, Shang Shi had no suspicion of Yu Minglu, believing that Yu Minglu must have come for Meng Shisan's health.

As soon as Yu Minglu entered the room, he said that he came to check on Miss Meng's pulse.

After hearing this, Shang had no more worries and didn't think much about it, so he asked Butler Chu to come out and entertain them.

Under Shang's order, Manager Chu personally served tea in Qingming Hall. He waited until Meng Shisan stepped into Qingming Hall before he quietly left the hall.

"Is Miss Meng okay?" After greeting each other, Yu Minglu carefully observed Meng Shisan's expression and asked with great concern.

At this moment, his whole heart was on her health. The anxiety he had felt when she declined his advances seemed so insignificant before she recovered.

So when he asked this question, he seemed proactive and bold.

Meng Shisan did not shy away. He let Yu Minglu look at her face and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Doctor Yu, for making this trip. I am fine."

"But today, Miss Meng..."

"It's just that I was tired after being out for too long."

Yu Minglu asked anxiously, and Meng Shisan comforted him gently.

He fell silent, and she waited for him to speak again.

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Meng Shisan finally couldn't bear it: "I'm really fine, but looking at Doctor Yu's face... it doesn't look good, is he sick?"

Cang Shu nodded vigorously beside him: "Miss Meng, my son has caught a cold and hasn't recovered yet, but he has to go out..."

"Shut up!" Yu Minglu scolded in a low voice.

Cangshu immediately closed his mouth and took a step back.

Baozhu looked at Cangshu with a little sympathy.

"It's windy at night, please take care." This is all Meng Shisan could say. If she said more, it might be hurtful.

He was ill now, and she didn't want to irritate him and make his condition worse. After all, it was the medical officer who nursed her weak body back to health. He had done her a favor, so she couldn't be too cruel.

Yu Minglu listened to Meng Shisan's warm words. His heart, which had been on the verge of death after being politely rejected, began to beat wildly at this moment. He pursed his lips, restrained himself again and again, and then said: "...Bai Ying knows."

"Your recuperation prescription is very good. I see... there is no need to change it in the near future." After showing concern, Meng Shisan felt the cruelty of reality and told Yu Minglu seriously that he didn't need to come to the house to check her pulse for the time being.

One breath is warm and the flowers are blooming, the next breath is cold and icy.

Yu Minglu stared blankly at his beloved who was so close to him. There was only a table between them, and the tabletop was barely an arm's length away. However, her cold words at that moment made him instantly feel that there was a huge chasm between them.

He stood up in panic.

She raised her head slightly.

When they looked at each other, his eyes were full of tenderness and hers were full of calmness.

Yu Minglu's tall figure swayed slightly, and Cang Shu was quick to come forward and support Yu Minglu: "Young Master!"

Meng Shisan also stood up immediately: "Are you okay?"

Yu Minglu wanted to get rid of Cangshu's support, but his body was not holding up at the moment and he could not stand steadily on his own and could only half lean on Cangshu.

He imagined what she had said to him. It would be okay to tell her, but he just couldn't say it out loud.

He felt the concern that finally appeared in her eyes at this moment, which was exactly the same as Fang Jiang's concern. However, no matter how many pear blossoms bloomed on thousands of trees, Fang Jiang felt that the bitter fruit was hard to swallow now.

Yu Minglu opened his mouth, but the word "no problem" was too difficult to say. He gave a bitter smile and gave up. He bowed and said, "Bai Ying, goodbye."

Meng Shisan personally escorted Yu Minglu out of the mansion and watched the Yu Mansion's carriage gradually drive away. After it turned the corner and disappeared, she turned around and went back in.

She was silent all the way.

Baozhu also remained silent all the way.

The master and servant returned to Taichen Courtyard in silence.

As soon as she returned to Taichen Courtyard, Meng Shisan saw Shangchun teasing Silver Fox in the corridor of Mingxiao Hall. She was refreshed and hurried over: "Xiaoyin is back?"

After the silver fox came back, it was pestered and talked by Shangchun Jinyin and others in the corridor, but it was aloof and kept its head held high, ignoring them. Only when it smelled the evil spirit on Meng Shisan did it lower its head and look towards the turn of the corridor.

At first, Shangchun Jinyin didn't understand why the silver fox suddenly turned its head away. It was not until he saw Meng Shisan's figure and voice that he reacted.

After they realized what was happening, they all marveled at the Silver Fox's humanity.

Meng Shisan walked closer and closer, listening to these words, thinking in his heart that the silver fox was more than just human-like, it had already become a superhuman. He didn't know what reasons had caused it to lose its demon body in the past.

She would like to ask it when she has the chance.

Soon, a man and a fox entered Mingxiao Hall.

According to the old custom, Meng Shisan asked everyone around him to leave the hall, even Baozhu, leaving only her and Baozhu. This way, they could speak freely.

Also according to the old practice, she set up a barrier for Ming Xiaotang.

A thin layer of demonic energy is enough to set up a soundproof barrier in this small world.

When everything was ready, without her having to ask, Silver Fox spoke in human language, "I just came back too. As soon as I came back, I went straight back to the courtyard. The eldest son has also come back. He should be washing up in the front courtyard now. He said that after washing up, he changed into clean clothes and came to the back courtyard."
