Chapter 30, Tonight, Tang'er is scary?
Concubine Zhang had bleeding, and Liu Shuyuan was confined to her house.

From the third rank Zhaoyuan to the fourth rank Shuyuan, Liu Shuyuan was so shocked that she rolled her eyes and fell on Jin'er.

The cold and aloof Emperor Yuji didn't even let the imperial physician see her and sent someone to send her back.

After the storm, Emperor Yu Ji returned to Kunning Palace with the Queen.

As soon as Shen Qingtang came out of Chunxi Palace, she saw two figures stopped on the side of the road. Judging from their slender and tall figures, who else could it be but her good cousin Li Changzai.

"The wind is sparse and the rain is wild. Do you want to go to my Wensi Residence and have a seat?"

Li Changzai stood under the umbrella, with his chin slightly raised as if giving alms, and extended an invitation to Shen Qingtang with a haughty look.

In the past, whenever she looked for him, Shen Qingtang would appear in front of her the first time.

But now——

Shen Qingtang looked at her in confusion. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking of. A look of hurt suddenly flashed across his fair face.

"Moonlight——" Sister...

Almost at the moment when Shen Qingtang blurted out the words, a trace of contempt flashed across Li Changzai's eyes.

In her sight, Shen Qingtang was even more embarrassed because he almost called her "Sister Yueying". The expression on her face changed several times, and finally she showed the arrogance that she was most unfamiliar with.

"Ahem!" Shen Qingtang cleared his throat and raised his head in a haughty manner, imitating Li Changzai's appearance. "How can Li Changzai's Wensi Residence compare to the Fanghua Palace that the emperor has granted me? Moreover, who knows who you will sell me to after entering your Wensi Residence?!"

The further he spoke, the more aggrieved Shen Qingtang's arrogant voice sounded.

Her cousin gave her to a eunuch to be his wife, how could she not feel resentment?!
Li Changzai, who was originally jealous of Shen Qingtang for being able to live in Fanghua Palace, her expression changed instantly when she heard her change from bragging to accusation.

"So you've been blaming me all along—"

"Shouldn't I blame you?!"

As soon as Li Changzai opened her mouth, she was angrily interrupted by Shen Qingtang.

"I regard you as my own sister, but you use me as a bargaining chip. If I don't blame you, should I be grateful to you?!"

Li Changzai, who had other plans in mind, was annoyed by Shen Qingtang's repeated questioning, but she still chose to endure it in silence, trying to explain to Shen Qingtang with a stiff smile.

"I can explain to you, it was -"

"Shut up!" Shen Qingtang gritted her teeth, "You are not my sister. I don't want to hear your so-called explanation!"

"I don't want to hear even one word!"

Shen Qingtang looked at Li Changzai deeply. That extremely complicated look made her tears fall from her slightly red eyes, as if her heart was broken at this moment.

But she is very strong.

The momentary fragility revealed on the surface was quickly covered by solid ice.

"Now I am the noble lady appointed by the emperor himself. Since Li Da Ying has never regarded me as a sister, why should I pretend to be so? I don't want that!"

"let's go!!!"

……

During the night, the rain got heavier.

Shen Qingtang was surrounded under an umbrella and soon disappeared from Li Changzai's sight. Li Changzai, who was left behind by her, looked in the direction she left with a gloomy face, silently thinking about something in his heart.

"My lord, the rain is getting heavier. If you don't come back——"

Snapped!
Before Xia Zhi could finish his words, he was slapped in the face.

"——My Lord?"

Xia Zhi looked up in surprise, but she didn't expect that Li Changzai's fierce eyes were fixed on her.

"It hurts?" Li Changzai looked at Xia Zhi with a cold gaze, "Just now in Linfeng Residence, did I pinch you and hurt you?"

Xia Zhi didn't care about the pain on her face, and said stammeringly: "No, no, it was me who bit my tongue, my lady, please, please give me another chance."

Li Changzai glanced at the deserted intersection and snorted coldly, "You two are all cheap bastards!" If she was not useful, she would never have said a word to Shen Qingtang.

Thinking of Shen Qingtang, Li Changzai, who was standing under the umbrella, had an expression that became increasingly obscure.

"Prepare a gift for me some other day. I will go to Fanghua Palace again."

As for what to do, naturally it is to repair the sisterhood and take the opportunity to get a little bit of the emperor's favor...

With the vision and beauty of the future, the gloomy expression on Li Changzai's face gradually became complacent.

Grandfather was right. It would be beneficial for her to be on good terms with Shen Qingtang, who was favored by the emperor!

"After tossing and turning for most of the night, it's time to go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow I have to go visit my good sister~"

When Li Changzai just returned, Shen Qingtang, who had been hurrying all the way, was already standing at the intersection of Guanju Palace.

The lantern held in Anlan's hand emitted a dim light in the rainy night, and was seen from afar by Shiliu and Fu'an who were guarding outside Guanju Palace.

"The young master is back!"

Shi Liu and Fu An looked at each other, both breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to him.

Before they even arrived, Shen Qingtang was already infected by their heartfelt joy.

"It's raining so hard outside, just wait in Fanghua Palace. Look at how old you are, but you can't even hold an umbrella properly. You don't even know your clothes are soaked by the rain. Are you stupid?!"

As Shen Qingtang spoke, he straightened the umbrella for them.

Her action was perfectly normal, but it made An Lan, Shi Liu and Fu An, who were beside her, feel hot inside on this cold and rainy night.

Being a slave is no different from a cat or dog in the eyes of those in power. Not being treated harshly is a blessing in disguise. As for being respected like ordinary people and living with dignity, that is something they dare not even dream of.

Lady Keshu not only treated them equally, but also cared about them like family.

With a master like this, they would not be afraid of anything, let alone rain, even if knives were raining from the sky!

Lady Shu, you are really very good!

Without Shen Qingtang noticing, An Lan, Shi Liu and Fu An's eyes met for a moment, and their unwavering belief was unified from then on.

In the future, even if they are let down, they will never let down Concubine Shu!

Shi Liu sniffed her blocked nose and said with a smile: "My lady, I have brought you some hot water. It's a damp rainy night, so it's just right for you to cool down."

"Such a considerate girl like Pomegranate, who knows which brat will get the love of her in the future."

"My young master~"

Under Shen Qingtang's jokes, the five masters and servants chatted and laughed all the way and soon returned to Fanghua Palace.

Wow~

The sound of water was floating, and it was not until Shen Qingtang was completely submerged in the water that she felt she was alive again. Under the misty water, she scooped up a handful of water, closed her eyes and sniffed it, her plain and beautiful face full of comfort and laziness.

Amber, who was massaging Shen Qingtang's forehead, saw the fatigue hidden in her eyes and eyebrows, and said distressedly: "You are too tired today. Can I give you a massage to relax you?"

Shen Qingtang closed his eyes slightly and refused weakly: "It's too late today, you are tired all day, it's time to rest."

"I am not tired. Please wait a moment, my lady. I will go get the essential oil."

Amber said something to Anlan and Shiliu, then went out to start making preparations. She didn't have enough energy, and Shen Qingtang was also helpless.

It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so she just enjoys it.

……

It was unknown how long had passed until Shen Qingtang was drowsy when she heard footsteps outside the screen. When she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, a strong and powerful hand suddenly reached out to her smooth and soft jade-like shoulders.

As its fingertips slid down, Shen Qingtang was horrified. As she woke up in a panic like a frightened deer, a hot breath rolled past her ears.

"Is Tang'er scary tonight?"
