Chapter 112: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (9)

In the imperial palace, Shu Nuan was kneeling in a hall . An imperial doctor was diagnosing her pulse .

After finis.h.i.+ng, the doctor truthfully replied to the empress dowager who was seated on a couch in front of him, “Your Highness, this girl shows no sign of having a child . ”

The dowager nodded and waved the doctor to leave .

She looked down at the little girl kneeling beneath her . After a while, she withdrew her indifferent eyes . She didn’t let her get up, and neither did she say much to her . She then went to the inner hall and drank some tea before letting her closest maid Ah Shuang go call a person .

After kneeling for a long time, Shu Nuan’s legs went numb . When she was about to get up, she almost fell .

After entering the back of the palace, the dowager was already sitting on the couch, waiting for Shu Nuan to come over .

The dowager looked at her without reservations . Shu Nuan was indeed different from most Beiguo women with skin skin as white as porcelain jade, and her limbs slender and exquisite . With a small face, red lips, and white teeth, the little girl had a bright aura that would attract attention .

But the dowager didn’t think her to be suitable for Sheng Qianmo . Shu Nuan’s age and body were too small . She was still attending the academy, and she was only as old as Little Gu .

 After the dowager sized her up for a long time, she said in a calm voice, “The children of Qing really are delicate . How old are you?”

“Sixteen . ” 

The dowager nodded and wasn’t sure if she should tell the little girl that she was ten years younger than Qianmo .

After speaking, Shu Nuan keep silent with her long eyelashes hanging down and covering her eyes . She didn’t let the dowager figure her mood from her eyes .

“I don’t know if you’ve ever found out about this, child, but Qianmo hasn’t felt the leaves[1] in a long time . You are the first girl he has allowed to live in Sheng Courtyard . There are some things I have to ask, you know?”

The dowager tried to slow down her tone, for fear of scaring the delicate child .
 

Shu Nuan was indeed a little more relaxed now . She gently nodded her head, and said, “As long as Nuan knows, Nuan will answer . ”

The empress dowager smiled and said, “Good girl . ”  

“I ask you, has the Fourth Prince touched you?”

Shu Nuan was silent for a moment, but then she shook her head .

The dowager was quite surprised at her answered .

Obviously, she didn’t expect Sheng Qianmo to raise such a delicate little girl, not even taking her in the end . After thinking for a while, she looked at Shu Nuan, and asked, “Do you know the reason?”

Shu Nuan didn’t expect the dowager to ask her these kinds of questions directly . She kept her mouth open, but after thinking for a while, she bowed her head and didn’t answer .

Considering what Ji Xubai had done with Wen Zhigu, she already felt very lucky in this regard .

Her ident.i.ty was destined to be humbler and weaker than Wen Zhigu’s, who was at least not a slave . As for herself, her body and everything else belonged to Sheng Qianmo, and although he would occasionally tease her, he’d never forced her .

“You are too young,” the dowager explained . “To him, you are just a child that needs to be taken care of, like Little Gu . ”

Shu Nuan knitted her brows . She raised her clear eyes, and said, “It’s different . ”

Sheng Qianmo would kiss her . He would hold her, and he would coax her . Therefore, it was different .
