Chapter 119: Shallow Angry

Shan Baiyu answered subconsciously, "Calculating the time, he will be back in half an incense stick. He should have just left the General's Mansion by now."

Shi Nuanyu immediately ordered the secret guards who were protecting her to go and look for the person.

She didn't remember the exact time when her grandmother died, but she hoped it wasn't today.

In the original book, grandma fell into a well and died mysteriously. Shan Baiyu believed that the original owner killed grandma, which accelerated his blackening.

She had been getting along well with the male protagonists during this period, but was interrupted by Shan Baiyu just now and forgot that the plot points could not be changed.

Shan Baiyu keenly noticed her abnormality and looked straight at her.

"But what happened to Grandma?"

This morning, Grandma told him she wanted to go back to the General's Mansion. If anything happened to Grandma...

Shi Nuanyu shook her head, "I don't know?"

She didn't know who was the murderer who killed her grandmother in the book. A Ling had never tried to investigate the case and now all she could do was wait.

Shan Baiyu picked up his crutch and was about to go look for it, but Shi Nuanyu quickly stopped him and held the crutch tightly to prevent him from leaving.

"You've walked for a long time today. If you walk any longer, your legs will become useless."

Shan Baiyu stared at her, "Unless Your Highness tells me, what happened to Grandma?"

Shi Nuanyu wanted to say something but stopped herself. She couldn't say that they lived in a book and she knew the ending of each of them.

Such a bizarre thing would probably make her look like a monster. She gritted her teeth and loosened her grip on the crutch.

"I will go with you."

As the two walked out of the yard, an unexpected figure appeared in front of them, followed by a guard.

"Princess, young master, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Grandma was holding a bundle in her arms, and her lower body clothes were soaked with mud, but she was smiling and talking as if nothing had happened.

"I went to get the ornaments that the old lady entrusted to me for safekeeping, and I came back a little late."

Shi Nuanyu and Shan Baiyu looked at each other. Grandma looked so miserable that they didn't believe her when she said she was fine.

Shi Nuanyu spoke first, "Grandma, go and rest first." She patted the man's hand to comfort him, then looked at the guard, "Tell me exactly what happened."

"Nuannuan, you don't have to ask him. I'll tell you."

Qinghe walked over leisurely, followed by Fusheng with an indifferent expression.

The four of them sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and Qinghe told them the whole story.

It turned out that grandma went to the general's mansion to pick up something. When she arrived at the pond in the yard, she suddenly fell into the pond. Fortunately, the pond was not deep, just reaching the knee level, so grandma saved her life.

"Qing He means that someone wants to kill me, but because of my status, I don't have the opportunity to do so. So they start with the people around me and try to divert the trouble away?"

Shi Nuanyu spoke word for word, truly sinister. Could it be...

Thinking of the plot promoted by the original book, she became worried.

Qing He smiled gently, and stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips to help her soothe her worries.

"Don't worry, Nuannuan, I'll take care of everything."

Shi Nuanyu shook off his hand and glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Even if you are extremely capable, there are times when you make mistakes. Your safety is equally important."

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and more people can always come up with a solution.

Fusheng glanced indifferently at the two people's entangled hands, and then took the woman's other hand without changing his expression.

Shi Nuanyu was shocked. Looking at the two people in such bright colors, she didn't want to cause any trouble!

She was about to break free, but her hand was held tightly.

Qinghe's eyes fell on the hands of the two people who were intertwined. He didn't say much, but looked at Shan Baiyu, whose face was pale, and spoke.

"General Shan's leg will heal soon. I think his trip to southern Xinjiang will be in the next month or so." Shan Baiyu withdrew his gaze from the woman, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the cold tea, then picked up a dried fruit from the table, peeled it, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

The sweet taste of the dried fruits also calmed his anxious heart.

"Dried fruits and Southern Xinjiang are both treasures in my heart. I hope the Imperial Master will forgive me. Bai Yu will never let them go."

Fusheng said calmly, "You can't have both. General Shan is too greedy."

Qing He's eyebrows moved slightly, and the smile on his lips dimmed a little.

"Master Shan, are you still considering this?"

A look of determination appeared in Shan Baiyu's eyes. "Even if the road ahead is difficult, we must fight for it."

There was an undercurrent between the three of them, as if they were about to draw their swords against each other in the next second.

Shi Nuanyu was numb. She thought carefully about the meaning of their words before she understood. She broke free from the two men's hands, took the dried fruit in front of herself, and glared at the three people sitting there.

"Dried fruit has its own thoughts and ideas. It has the final say on who it chooses and who it likes."

She looked at the three people sitting there in confusion, "You all said you like me, so tell me what you like about me?"

"Especially you, Shan Baiyu. You forgot who caused your leg injury and who made you lie in bed unable to move."

Shan Baiyu was about to open his mouth to refute that it was not you, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

He didn't know where the feelings came from, and he didn't know why he fell in love with her during their short time together.

Shi Nuanyu really didn't understand the source of these likes and looked at Fusheng who was equally shocked.

"And you, you said you like me, why do you like me?"

She had indeed been moved by Fu Sheng. After all, who doesn't like handsome men? But she couldn't let this little emotion affect others.

Fusheng looked at her silently, quietly holding the corner of her clothes and not letting go.

Shi Nuanyu's gaze fell on Qinghe. Meeting those still gentle eyes, she hardened her heart and grabbed his ears.

"I like you, but that doesn't mean I can accept you pushing me away. Qinghe, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Feelings will be exhausted in the process of wear and tear, do you understand?"

The three men looked at the angry woman with different expressions, their sights occupied by her beautiful figure.

Meeting the gazes of the three people, Shi Nuanyu felt a chill on her spine, and her previous momentum gradually weakened.

No, she has to stand up and keep the situation under control so that she won't be in a passive position when encountering such things in the future.

Shi Nuanyu stared into Qinghe's eyes, "If I accept Fusheng today and Shan Baiyu tomorrow,
Finally, I will take all seven of you into my room and recruit handsome men from all over Nanyue. Are you willing to do that?"

Don't want to!

The word "unwilling" lingered in Qinghe's heart, but as a member of the royal family, it was impossible for him to do so for the rest of his life.

Qing He remained silent, and in the end he didn't say the word "unwilling".

After hearing the first two sentences, the dark eyes of Fusheng and Shan Baiyu became bright.

Fusheng tugged at the woman's robe, thought carefully, and gave a pertinent answer.

"Your Highness, I don't mind my brother's existence, but I cannot accept the collection of handsome men from all over the country."

The twin emotions kept him tossing and turning, but it wouldn't be a big deal if that person was his brother.

Shi Nuanyu was dumbfounded, and shouted angrily in her heart, "Fusheng, your character is OOC. Which good person can act indifferent and say such words?"

Shan Baiyu seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent under the woman's intimidating gaze.

Shi Nuanyu took a deep breath and once again wondered if they had been poisoned by some kind of insect.

"Okay, today's meeting is over. Let's adjourn."

She turned around and ran towards Furong Pavilion impatiently. On the way, she met Zhenbao squatting in the corner, who ordered her to go and get Doctor Bai.
