Tangled

Chapter 2 Cousin, I Can't Walk
In just eleven words, the tone was still so cold and indifferent, but Shen Qiqi's nose was sore when she heard it.

The panic and helplessness of the whole day reached its peak in his light and fluffy tone, and the tears that had just been forced into his eyes were like a dam bursting, and he couldn't stop it anymore.

The tears of the daughter's family dripped on the pink skirt one by one, rendering dark flowers.

Gu Tingshu kept everything in his eyes, still showing no emotion on his face, but the black cloak covered the wet skirt as if unintentionally.

The night wind blew past, and the tear-stained face was scraped sorely. Shen Qiqi wiped her cheeks, tightened her hands holding the cloak, and stood up bit by bit, gritting her teeth.

Things that are usually easy and easy, but in this cool night, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.

Although the process was difficult, fortunately she finally stood firm, panting while pulling on her cloak.

Gu Tingshu watched coldly, until she stood up, then turned half sideways and lent her her shoulder.

From here to Qingzhu Xiaozhu there is still time for a cup of tea, and she has to walk twice a day, but now Shen Qiqi doesn't want to take another step.

She moved her head forward slowly, pressed against Gu Tingshu's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Cousin, I, I can't walk anymore."

After letting out a sigh of relief, the pain from her knees was even worse than before. Just standing up had exhausted all her strength, and now even standing still had to rely on his strength.

The little girl didn't wear makeup, so she only had a faint fragrance of a daughter, and when she got close, the fragrance wafted out of her nose.

Gu Tingshu stared at her for a few breaths, then took off the cloak with one hand, and raised it to cover her head.

Shen Qiqi only felt her eyes go dark, and before she had time to react, the smell of blood dominated all her senses.

A big palm was pressed on the top of the head through the cloak, and she patted it threateningly. Shen Qiqi's feet softened, and she stopped when she was about to struggle, "Cousin, cousin?"

Gu Tingshu didn't make a sound, picked up the man by the waist, and strode towards Qingzhu Xiaozhu.

Curled up in the man's arms, the warmth pierced through the cloak and invaded continuously, Shen Qiqi let out a small breath, and her trembling body slowly warmed up.

The bloody smell on the cloak was still strong and still suffocating, but it was not as unbearable as before.

Shen Qiqi was still holding the cloak in her hand, listening to the faint wind passing by her ears, she couldn't help asking him, "Cousin, about the old prince..."

Although he agreed to this troublesome matter, but it was the old prince after all, and she was really vain in her heart.

"Since I agreed, you can just stay in the mansion with peace of mind."

"Cousin, you still have to go to Yuntai Mountain tomorrow..."

A soft voice came from under the cloak, it was light and fluttering, and it would be blown away by the wind.

Gu Tingshu rolled his eyes and didn't respond.

The daughter's family is so thoughtful that she even hides her words. Since he dares to answer, he is [-]% sure.

He remained silent, and Shen Qiqi didn't dare to speak again, curling up the cloak with five fingers, her pale fingertips were almost turning red.

Qingzhu Xiaozhu is located at the westernmost end of the mansion, surrounded by a bamboo grove, at this time it was pitch black, but a candle was not lit.

Gu Tingshu carried her straight into the main room, put her down, turned around and walked out.

Finally freed, Shen Qiqi pulled down her cloak, took a few breaths, and then stretched out her hand to reach the candlestick on the table.

When she came from Jiangzhou, she originally brought her maid, but she was dismissed by the woman in charge soon after.

Later, the mansion brought two more servant girls over, but they were too lazy, and they never saw anyone on weekdays, so she always had to do ordinary things by herself.

At first I thought things were cumbersome, but after getting started, I gradually realized some interesting things.

The candle was lit, Shen Qiqi glanced at the empty room, then slowly put away the cloak, turned around and took out the medicine box.

When she first learned embroidery, she didn't know how to do it, and no one took it with her, and her hands were often pricked by needles, so she asked the government doctor to make this medicine box.

Later, I figured out the way, and put the medicine box away. After several years, I don't know if the medicine in it is still effective.

Changed into clean clothes, just leaned on the soft couch, but heard a sound of footsteps, it turned out to be a man leaving and returning, followed by the female government doctor and a few rough envoys.

"cousin?"

Gu Tingshu said "Yes", and waved for the doctor to come forward, while he sat down at the table.

With the doctor, this medicine box is redundant, Shen Qiqi pushed it aside, let the doctor roll up the skirt pants.

The knees that had been kneeling for a long time were bruised and swollen, and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

Applying the cold ointment relieved the burning pain, Shen Qiqi bit her lower lip, looked up at Gu Tingshu, but saw that he was not looking this way.

The knee was too ferocious, he didn't look at it, but Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young lady's knee needs to be medicated every day. I left some ointment, and I rub it twice in the morning and evening. I'll come back after a few days when the swelling subsides."

The entire Hou Mansion knew about Shen Qiqi kneeling in the Furong Courtyard, so the manor doctor didn't ask any further questions, and quietly took the medicine and was about to leave.

"Young Master, the younger ones will step back first."

Gu Tingshu waved his hand, and waited for the people to go down before getting up and walking in front of Shen Qiqi, and he lifted the gauze to cover her knees before looking over.

The ointment on her knees was still wet, the gauze was covered with a lot of ointment, Shen Qiqi opened her mouth, but swallowed back what she wanted to say.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the rough envoy who was waiting aside, and looked at Gu Tingshu with doubts in her eyes.

"It's okay, I'll send you a few maidservants tomorrow."

"Don't go out until I come back. If I get bored and panic, I will dispose of my maidservant."

He said a few words in a row, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to catch her breath, she just nodded her head obediently.

When the little girl entered the room, her body recovered and her spirit improved a lot. Her face was a little pink, but she looked much better than before.

Gu Tingshu's eyes fell on her white jade-like earlobes, he paused almost invisibly, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"have a good rest!"

He spoke and acted neatly, and turned around before he finished speaking.

"cousin!"

Shen Qiqi yelled, and seeing him looking back, his long and narrow eyebrows were as sharp as daggers, she forgot what she was going to say for a moment.

"What's the matter?"

She was stunned speechless, Gu Tingshu glanced outside the door, and was about to leave again.

"Cousin, come back soon..."

In the end, Shen Qiqi could only hold back these words, and when Gu Tingshu's figure disappeared at the door, she clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths.

Cousin is still so scary, even though he helped, she still didn't dare to take a big breath in front of him.

There was no oppressive atmosphere in the room, the women finally dared to come forward, and after saluting, they took the coats and put them on for Shen Qiqi.

The other wanted to pour a cup of hot tea, but there was only cold water in the pot. The old woman frowned, and walked out quietly with the teapot in hand.

"Girl, it's late at night, why don't you rest first?"

The little girl who didn't stay up all night can't hide the tiredness on her face after suffering this kind of crime.

"Is Mammy from my cousin's yard? Why have I never seen it before?"

The little girl fell asleep, her voice was soft and soft, like freshly harvested cotton.

Nanny He smiled and helped her to go to bed.

"Originally, they were served in the young master's courtyard, but after the young master was seven years old, no one needed to take care of him, and the old slaves were sent to guard the warehouse."

"The old slave hasn't been here for more than ten years, and it's reasonable for the girl to never see her."

"To be honest, it's thanks to you, Miss, that I can come out to serve you in the future."

If it wasn't for the lack of manpower of the cousin girl, and she happened to ask the eldest young master, they might have to guard in the warehouse for the rest of their lives.

Although the warehouse work is leisurely, it is indeed too boring day after day.
