Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 46 Take away your most cherished

"She said she would take away what I cherish the most... what is my most cherished?" Du Yuanzhi sat in front of the dressing table, looked at herself with a beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and raised her hand to stroke her cheek.

"My face? She's going to ruin my face... No, no, don't scare yourself!" Du Yuanzhi murmured.

"Auntie..." the maid said cautiously outside the screen.

Hearing this title that disgusted her, Du Yuanzhi frowned slightly, "Where is your husband? Why haven't you come back yet?"

The servant girl lowered her head, her voice was like a mosquito humming, "I heard that Mr. Qilang... went to the young lady's courtyard!"

"What?!" Du Yuanzhi got up angrily, pointed at the servant girl and said, "Say it again?!"

The maid did not dare to speak again.

Du Yuanzhi panted, and stroked her chest lightly, "Don't be angry, my husband must have gone to give her a divorce letter! In the afternoon, I heard the servant next to my husband say that my husband is going to divorce her. It must be."

Du Yuanzhi tried her best to calm herself down, facing the bronze mirror, she put on what she thought was the most beautiful and charming smile.

The small courtyard in the northwest corner is full of fragrance.

The servant girl stood in the courtyard, sucking her saliva from time to time.

Shen Xinniang walked out of the kitchen, wrapped in a pleasant fragrance.

Dan Xin brought out the last dish from the kitchen, smiled and said to the maids and servants: "Okay, don't watch it anymore, the rest of the kitchen is yours!"

There was only a burst of cheers, and the maids and servants rushed into the kitchen like a swarm.

Shen Xinniang takes a shower and changes clothes.

Dan Xin set up the food table and prepared the meals.

Shen Xinniang had already walked out of the room slowly in a clean white dress with the fragrance after bathing.

Feng Qilang stepped into the courtyard gate at this moment.

Smelling the aroma of delicacies, he came to the upper room.

He looked around suspiciously, why are the maids and wives not serving in the courtyard, but instead gathered in the kitchen to compete for food?

Because I don't value Shen Xinniang, is she being neglected like this?
Feng Qilang frowned slightly, somewhat guilty in his heart.

The main door was open.

A food table is full of delicacies.

On the double-sided embroidered screen full of lotus flowers reveals a slim and graceful figure.

Her long hair hangs down behind her, and the servant girl is drying her hair for that fair lady with a fume cage.

Feng Qilang stopped at the door of the main room and coughed.

"Lady, it's Mr. Qilang who is here!" came the servant girl's agile voice.

The woman behind the screen slowly got up and stepped out of the room gracefully.

The pure white long skirt dragged on the ground, making a small sound.A pair of white socks stepped on the mat, suddenly giving people a soft and comfortable feeling.

"Sir, please sit down." Shen Xiniang spoke slowly, her voice was different from her cousin's tenderness, but cold and elegant, which made people feel happy from the ears to the heart.

Feng Qilang originally planned to come in, but he threw his wife's letter in anger, satirized her wantonly, turned around and left.

But at this moment, the prepared sarcasm could not be uttered.

The mouth-watering aroma of the food, the refreshing and elegant woman, and the courteous maid.

From the moment he stepped into this room, he felt that this is home.

My heart is nostalgic, I just want to stop more.

By coincidence, he didn't take out the wife's letter on his chest, but sat down opposite the food table.

"This...is this?" Feng Qilang looked at the table full of delicacies and asked.

"I heard that Mr. Lang is going to divorce me. Since I married into Feng's family, I have been taken care of by my wife and Mr. Mr. Before we parted, I prepared some vegetables to show my heart." Shen Xiniang said slowly.

The expressionless and stunning face, under the orange light at this time, is not soft and charming.

Feng Qilang felt awkward and had other emotions.

"Well, you've got your heart." He said stiffly.

Dan Xin knelt aside, straightened her upper body to serve as a cloth for the two of them.

Shen Xiniang was speechless, her movements were slow and graceful.

Feng Qiyi was a little reserved at first, but when he tasted this delicious meal, his eyes widened immediately.

When the Holy Majesty came to Feng's house suddenly, he had already smelled this fragrance.

No wonder the Holy Majesty tasted it and rewarded it generously the next day.I thought it was King Qi's intention to praise her.

Tasting this delicacy at this time, one knows that if it is him, he will not be able to resist giving it a big reward, right? !
too delicious!

It seemed that Feng Qilang hadn't eaten in half his life, but the dignified son of General Ningyuan's mansion started to gobble it up.

Occasionally, when he raised his eyes and saw Shen Xinniang's graceful movements, he restrained himself a little.

Wasn't she dumb and stupid before?Why is everything so elegant?

It seems that she is more virtuous than her sisters and more noble than Du Yuanzhi.

Shen Xinniang put down her chopsticks after a while.

Feng Qilang wanted to restrain himself, but thought that such delicious food was really rare, so he swept away all the dishes on the food table, rubbed his full stomach, and put down his chopsticks.

Just about to say a few words of praise, but couldn't help but let out a full belch.

He was embarrassed immediately, but saw that Shen Xiniang's face was still expressionless, not even a hint of mocking smile.

Feng Qilang rubbed his stomach.

Dan Xin withdrew the food table.

"Did you cook this meal? It's a good job. Wait...well, you can serve Aunt Du next!" Feng Qilang looked at Dan Xin and said.

Dan Xin shook his head, "Mr. Qilang is really flattering my maidservant. This meal was prepared by my lady herself! And the maidservant can't serve Aunt Du. Madam has already given the maidservant's contract of sale to the lady. From now on, Zizi will just be the lady's maid!"

Feng Qilang was slightly taken aback.

He was surprised by the maid's refusal, and even more surprised that such a delicious meal was made by Shen Xinniang?
"You...uh, your craft is really good!" Feng Qilang said awkwardly.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "I know."

Looking at her flawless face, Feng Qilang didn't know what to talk about.

Thinking of the letter to release his wife in his arms, he solemnly said: "Leaving Feng's house, are you planning to go back to Shen's house? Or go directly to Prince Qi's mansion?"

Shen Xinniang looked at him, but did not respond.

"Oh, I'm afraid you can't make the decision. However, whether it's the Shen family or the Prince Qi's mansion, the rules are high, you...don't be like you are in the Feng family. Girls are so indifferent, it's not pleasing. Women can't Too strong, when you should be soft, you must learn to be soft! Uh...do you understand?" Feng Qilang said.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, and asked blankly, "What does Mr. Lang mean?"

Feng Qilang sighed, "Anyway, it's time to break up, let's get together and get together, if you have anything to say, I'll just say it straight! Like now, it's not good to be expressionless! Girls, be cute , you can be likable! You have to smile more to be cute!"

Shen Xinniang nodded and lowered her eyes.

Feng Qilang thought she wouldn't listen, so he smacked his mouth, but the lingering aroma of the food was still in his mouth.If it wasn't for the delicious food she cooks, I wouldn't be bothered to tell her so much.

"I don't know how to laugh." Shen Xinniang suddenly said slowly, "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't."

"What?" Feng Qilang was taken aback for a moment, wondering if he was too full, so his ears couldn't work because of it.

Shen Xinniang raised her head, her dark eyes were like an abyss, making it impossible to see her emotions, "I can't laugh, and when I want to laugh, I can't."

Feng Qilang's eyes widened, "How is this possible?"

Shen Xiniang looked at him calmly.

Feng Qilang blinked. The reason why her face was expressionless was not because her heart was calm, but because she couldn't?
If a person is born without expressions, emotions, emotions, smiles when happy, and sadness when unhappy...is it a pity?

"Will you cry then?" Feng Qilang asked.

Shen Xinniang slowly shook her head.

Feng Qilang looked at her with a frown, feeling a little unbearable.

A young girl who can't cry or laugh is just missing something compared to ordinary people!

"In the past, did it happen in the past?" Feng Qilang asked again.

Shen Xinniang thought for a while, "I don't remember, before."

Feng Qilang was speechless, yes, she was dumb and stupid before, what can she remember?

Her eyesight is bad, and she is a little mentally incomplete. Even if she is better now, she has no shortcomings in terms of intelligence.But still an incomplete person.

Others have exquisite hearts, have joys, anger, sorrows and joys, and can experience joys and sorrows.

But she can't even smile or cry...

Looking at her beautiful cheeks, Feng Qilang felt a little pity in his heart.

Beautiful things can especially arouse people's good feelings. If you let go of the initial prejudice, it will be easier to accept other imperfections.

Feng Qilang looked at Shen Xiniang, feeling sore in his heart, "Shall I tell you a joke? It must be because you have never heard a funny joke, so you can't laugh..."

As soon as the words came out, Feng Qilang felt a little stupid.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly.

As if encouraged, Feng Qilang said, "There was a man who was ordered to send an urgent document, and his boss specially gave him a fast horse. But he just ran behind the horse. Passers-by asked him, 'Since it is so urgent , why don’t you ride on horseback?’ He said, ‘Wouldn’t six feet go together faster than four?’”

After Feng Qilang finished speaking, he laughed out loud.

But when he stopped and looked at Shen Xinniang again, his face was still expressionless.

"This one isn't funny, I'll change it to another one! A certain person grew up in a wealthy family and spent money to buy a five-rank official, but he didn't know the sufferings of the people. One winter, he went out to patrol and saw a beggar standing shivering in the cold wind. He found it very strange, so he asked his attendant, "Why is this person's body always moving?" The attendant said, "I'm shivering because of the cold weather." The man felt even more strange, and said, "Is it not cold to shake ?' Don’t you think it’s funny?” Feng Qilang patted the short four-legged couple and laughed.

Shen Xinniang still looked at him expressionlessly.

He couldn't help but laugh himself.

"I still have..." Feng Qilang told another joke.

But no matter he was out of breath laughing himself, tears came out of his eyes while laughing.

Shen Xinniang's face is always the same, under the bright yellow light, her face is clear, without any smile.

Feng Qilang laughed foolishly by himself, and finally couldn't continue, he fixedly looked at Shen Xinniang and said, "Can't you really laugh?"

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "Laugh, what's it like?"

In a word, Feng Qilang almost cried.

A person with no past, no memories, and even no idea what it's like to laugh.

Isn't it a little pitiful?

Feng Qilang raised his hand and touched the wife release letter on his chest, but at this moment, he didn't want to take out the wife release letter and hand it to her.

"You don't have to pity me, or you have been ill for a long time, or you are born ignorant, it is no different to me. I have never owned it, and I don't know the pain of losing it. Don't you think so?" Shen Xinniang said slowly .

Feng Qilang nodded, but there was a lingering sadness in his heart.
