Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun Zhu made her eyes stay on the book. She quietly breathed out a few more times to avoid Shen Feng Ming detecting her abnormality. Finally, she felt her mood was much calmer.
She could still feel the gaze coming from beside her from time to time, but Jiang Yun Zhu was already able to think about other things.
The breeze blew outside the window. The wind caused a leaf to sway and fall. Suddenly, she wanted to ask Shen Feng Ming out of the blue, why did he treat her like this?
What was he planning? What did he want? But she didn't dare.
She was now like being on a small boat floating in the storm. The slightest movement may cause it to capsize. She knew that she was in a very dangerous situation where the waves were raging outside and it was unknown what tomorrow would bring as well as whether she would drown. She didn't dare to stick her head out and enjoyed this moment of warmth and tranquility.
Thinking of this, she laughed to herself and slowly sank into the book.
Next to her, Shen Feng Ming saw her frowning slightly and the corners of his eyebrows also lowered.
It was dinner time again. Jiang Yun Zhu washed her hands and prepared for dinner.
At this time, a low voice came, "Master."
Yin Cui gazed at Jiang Yun Zhu in disbelief, looked at the room, and then her eyes fell on the majestic figure in front of her. Soon, she averted it away and landed on Jiang Yun Zhu again, feeling as if she was dreaming.
She was almost dying of anxiety when her master fell ill that night and was taken away by Official Shen. She was worried for a moment whether Jiang Yun Zhu had died of illness. Without any news, she was worried that Jiang Yun Zhu was suffering from some kind of torture and unbearable pain, but she couldn’t do anything about it. Unforeseen, it turned out like this.
Jiang Yun Zhu was wearing more exquisite and luxurious clothes than before and stood there with a rosy face. Not one bit like a prisoner of the Division, but a noble family’s madam. Yin Cui felt a little dazed.
Jiang Yun Zhu heard the voice and turned to look at Yin Cui in surprise.
"Master, are you okay?" Tears rolled down from Yin Cui's eyes. She wanted to step forward to see Jiang Yun Zhu, but her eyes fell on the person in front of her and she stopped again. She was truly afraid of this murderous Official Shen.
Jiang Yun Zhu's eyes also fell on Shen Feng Ming's face and looked at him questioningly. He brought Yin Cui here, right? Was it what she thought? Delight burst in her heart, but was afraid to confirm.
"Let her serve you." Shen Feng Ming said lightly.
So it was true! Jiang Yun Zhu observed Shen Feng Ming, trying to see something from his face. But in the end, she saw nothing.
Shen Feng Ming didn't seem to want to explain. He washed his hands and prepared to eat.
Jiang Yun Zhu opened her mouth and decided to continue being an ostrich.
Someone put the food on the table. Then Yin Cui saw her master and Official Shen sitting at the same table, starting to have dinner. The dinner was sumptuous. This wasn’t the main point. The main point was, Official Shen actually had dinner with Master. One of them was the commander of the Division, and the other was supposed to be in prison.
No matter what happened, the prisoner should never be like this.
Moreover, Official Shen would actually ladle soup for Jiang Yun Zhu, clip food for her, and carefully help her pick out the small spines from the fish. Yin Cui felt she may be dreaming today. No, she didn't even dare to dream this.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming finished dinner. Someone came in to clear the table. At this time, Yin Cui suddenly broke out of the daze and went quickly to help clear the table.
A servant brought fragrant tea. After Shen Feng Ming took a few sips, he stood up and left as it was getting late outside,
Only then Jiang Yun Zhu and Yin Cui were left in the room. Yin Cui had a lot to say to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Master, are you okay? What’s going on?" she asked urgently.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yun Zhu replied. As for the second question, she didn't know how to answer it. She didn't know what was going on? So, she asked Yin Cui, "How are you?"
The two of them had a lot to say and it was a long time before they stopped.
After being held in for a few days with an occupied mind and a slight worry for Yin Cui, a good chunk of Jiang Yun Zhu's depression disappeared when she saw that Yin Cui was fine and a smile appeared on her.
Yin Cui was more worried about Jiang Yun Zhu's safety than her own. Seeing that she was fine, a burden was released from her shoulder and a grin appeared on her face. She took another look at the room, but still found it unreal. She looked at Jiang Yun Zhu and saw that under the warm yellow light, she was becoming more and more beautiful.
The thought in her mind became increasingly uncontrollable. Was that Official Shen interested in the master...
From that day on, Yin Cui served Jiang Yun Zhu, watching her eat and drink tea with Official Shen. Sometimes, that Official Shen would bring some small trinkets to Jiang Yun Zhu. Very ordinary or very unique little things. Although they weren’t necessarily expensive, they were all things Jiang Yun Zhu likes
or needed.
Yin Cui felt more and more like she had discovered something.
After another five or six days of this, Jiang Yun Zhu gradually became familiar with the room. She even tentatively went to the courtyard. Through the ajar door, she could see a little of the structure of the Division outside. Sometimes she could catch a glimpse of some black-clad Qilin Guard passing by. Then something would pop up in her mind, what if she wants to step out of this yard. Would anyone stop her?
It was just that she never dared to try.
On this day, at the end of Division's spacious street, a horse galloped up. Soon, the horse stopped in front of Division. A person jumped from the horse
He jumped down, looked up at the plaque on the door of the government department, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Deputy." The guard in front of the door saw the man and bowed respectfully.
"En." Yang Sheng casually responded and walked toward the Division. This trip to Lianzhou to handle the case consumed a lot of time. He actually somewhat missed the Division as well as Shen Feng Ming.
As soon as he entered the Division, he found that the atmosphere in the Division was strange, as if something was amiss. As for what was wrong, he couldn’t grasp it. His many years of experience in handling cases told him that something must have happened in the Division.
As for what it was? He mulled over it carefully. It seemed that nothing big had happened in the court recently.
While he was thinking, he saw someone passing by.
The man also saw him and bowed quickly, "Deputy, you are back."
Yang Sheng recognized that this was Nie Xin and waved him over.
Nie Xin immediately stepped forward. Then out of the blue, he seemed to think of something and his face was stiff for a moment. But soon he returned to normal.
This couldn't escape Yang Sheng's eyes. When Nie Xin came in front of him, he immediately put his hand on his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"What does Deputy mean? Some things have happened in the Division recently. I don't know what Deputy is asking about." Nie Xin lowered his head and answered.
"You know what I'm asking." Yang Sheng pressed Nie Xin's shoulder with a little force while his face seemed to be smiling.
Nie Xin seemed unable to bear the force and fell to his knees. "This subordinate is stupid and don't know." "Oh?" Yang Sheng stretched out his voice and stared at Nie Xin. Nie Xin buried his head even lower. A layer of hot sweat broke out on his body. He knew that Yang Sheng should be asking about Jiang Yun Zhu. These days, Jiang Yun Zhu lived in Official Shen's room. The people in the Division weren’t blind and many people knew about this. But they didn't dare to see or say it. Nie Xin's scalp was numb under Yang Sheng's gaze and he hurriedly said, "Deputy just came back and had a long journey. If there’s nothing, I won't bother you."
As he said that, he wanted to get up and retreat.
However, Yang Sheng held his shoulder and asked in a cold voice, "What happened? If you don't say it, be careful of the family punishment."
The family punishment of the Division wasn’t something that ordinary people could bear. Nie Xin was scared out of his wits. He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare to speak. If he angered Deputy, he might suffer some physical pain, but if he angered Official Shen, he didn't dare to think about it.
But he had to pass this hurdle. After hesitating for a while, he pushed out with difficulty, "Deputy, you should ask Official Shen? Subordinate, Subordinate ..."
His voice became smaller and smaller.
Official Shen, there was only one Official Shen in the Division. That was Shen Feng Ming. Was this matter related to Shen Feng Ming? Yang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and immediately went to find Shen Feng Ming.
First, he headed to Shen Feng Ming's office, no one was there. Yang Sheng wanted to catch someone to ask where Shen Feng Ming was, but those brats seemed to have caught wind of it and hid far away and no one could be seen. Yang Sheng snorted and walked toward the yard where Shen Feng Ming usually rested. It was almost time for a meal. Maybe Shen Feng Ming was there.
As soon as he approached Shen Feng Ming's yard, Yang Sheng keenly discovered that something was up. There seemed to be a woman in this yard.
A woman! Yang Sheng was shocked and felt it was like a fairy tale. Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Feng Ming didn't like women. How could there be a woman in the yard where he lived?
He took a few quick steps, pushed open the half-closed door, and walked in. Through the window lattice of the east room. He saw at a glance a scene that made his pupils shrink slightly. A drooping-eyed woman with black hair tied sideways that revealed a crystal-clear neck leaned against the window. She was reading a book in her hand.
The beauty with long eyelashes and the graceful lines reading by the window was as beautiful as a painting. Next to her stood a maid-like girl. Yang Sheng stood there, watching the two people. Then he took in the yard, confirming that this yard belonged to Shen Feng Ming and that he had not walked into the wrong place. The expression on his face was colorful.
Yin Cui was serving Jiang Yun Zhu who was reading, so she was a little free. She looked up and saw Yang Sheng at the door. As Jiang Yun Zhu's maid, she was very good at identifying people and things. She discerned Yang Sheng was no ordinary person and was a little surprised. Who was this person? Jiang Yun Zhu sensed her abnormality and looked out and saw Yang Sheng. Countless thoughts surged in her mind. She stood up suddenly, fearful and worried. Definitely afraid that something might happen.
At this time, another person came in from outside. The man was dressed in black brocade, with phoenix eyes and red lips. If it wasn't Shen Feng Ming, who else could it be? Jiang Yun Zhu hurriedly looked at him nervously. Yang Sheng noticed Shen Feng Ming and turned around to look at him with his mouth wide open. His surprise was beyond words.
