In fact, Sheng Shuihe didn't want to run this errand. He sat on the couch and spoke to the steward through the curtain, "The reason why my father took me home was that I got wounded seriously, and he was worried about my wounds might result in sequela because no one could take care of me out there! So, how am I supposed to work with an injury?"
Then, he coughed.
The steward smiled sadly and thought that actually, Sheng Lanci did say the same thing after he brought his son home.
But during these days, everyone started to talk about the news that Sheng Family's son hit a person for his sister. Now, everybody knew that the first day Sheng Shuihe came back home, he beat the a.s.s of the Xuanyu Che.
But strangely, Xuanyu Che said something rude and insulting to Sheng Weiqiao and her mother that day in public. However, until now, his parents still didn't bring his son to the Sheng Family to offer a humble apology. Well, the reason actually was quite straightforward. They thought his son was beaten too hard, and even if Mrs. Feng had forced them to apologize, still, they would have found it unacceptable. Also, according to the severity of Xuanyu Che's injuries, his parents thought that the Sheng Family should be the ones who brought their son to apologize to them!
So, now you tell me, who would believe Sheng Shuihe was injured?
Xuanyu Che was almost beaten beyond all recognition when Sheng Shuihe was during his period of recuperation. If Sheng Shuihe were physically healthy and fine, it would be hard to imagine what terrible thing would happen to Xuanyu Che.
It must have been an excuse he made up to bring his son home and to save the face of his wife and daughter!
The steward was just a servant, but Sheng Shuihe was the only son that Sheng Family had. Hence, if he said he couldn't do it, the steward couldn't force him to do it, so he had no choice but to leave.
As soon as the steward left the room, he caught sight of a line of shadows in the garden not far from him. His heart skipped a beat, and then they quickly turned their back and ran away.
After the steward left, Sheng Weiqiao came with anger and brought her two maids to the Xiezhu Pavilion. The doorman felt his scalp tingled when he saw her. But he still welcomed her with a salute and spoke carefully, "Mr. Sheng already took medicine, and he said he wanted to have some rest now. Should Miss Sheng maybe come another…."
"Go away!" Sheng Weiqiao would never buy it. She also didn't want to waste her time and went straight inside the pavilion. The doorman was too scared to touch her, so he made way for her with a sad face.
All the young and old maids in Xiezhu Pavilion didn't want to be punished for their involvement in this Siblings War, so they ran away.
Sheng Weiqiao walked into Sheng Shuihe's outside of the bedroom totally unimpeded. She saw his door left ajar, "Are you in there? Come out! I need to talk to you!"
"I am a bit inconvenienced right now. Shall we talk through this door?" Sheng Shuihe's polite voice came from the inside of the room, "If sister came here for the young Lord, don't waste your time then. I am injured and can hardly take care of myself. So, I don't have time to help this young Lord to prepare his residence!"
"Father is the one who gave the order, and you want to refuse it?!" Sheng Weiqiao actually was not interested in this errand. She just wanted Sheng Shuihe to get into trouble, that's all. Then, she quickly replied, "Have you forgotten the rules?!"
Before she could finish, there was a distinct laugh in the room. But it was neither a sneer nor a mock. It was kind of like a laugh that had the feeling of toleration and helplessness. Also, it felt more like a wry smile that adults would have when they were watching their kids being annoying but couldn't do anything about it.
"…!" Sheng Weiqiao seemed confounded a moment and suddenly realized it. Then, she got absolutely furious!
Without another word, she lifted her dress and kicked the door open with one foot, speaking angrily, "You such a…."
As soon as she said that, she was too shocked to say a word!
Then, at the back, Lvqi and Lvjin felt something was wrong. They both tiptoed over her shoulder to get a peek, and both blushed!
In the middle of the room, they only saw Sheng Shuihe standing near a mica round table with hollowed-out flowers. He had his black hair up and was naked to the waist except for a pair of dark red silk trousers!
When he was well dressed, he looked thin, but now his naked body looked strong with full of the muscles. The tight leather belt made his shoulders look wider, and his arms look narrower. What an ape back and a wasp waist! However, his stomach and chest were strewn with hideous scars. Although most of the places had scabbed, still, it had a wisp of blood fell slowly at the moment, wriggling on his white skin. It was awful!
If you looked carefully, you could see his left shoulder with a bruise of the palm print. Sheng Weiqiao was surprised not only by his bare upper body but also by his wounds. She was stunned at the door, staring blankly at him and forgot to avoid this situation.
She didn't move, and two maids looked at each other, both having no idea what to do!
Luckily, Sheng Shuihe was quick on the draw. He immediately scooped up the coat that was laid on the screen beside him and wore it on quickly, which made the blood from his wound ran faster and dripped onto his instep. His blood ran down his instep toward the crimson carpet with the mandala of entangled floral branch on it. One could not help feeling that the carpet was colored red with his blood.
He had bled so much that even Sheng Weiqiao was worried about him. Sheng s.h.i.+he looked as if he didn't care, covering the cloth and said to her with a smile, "These are some old wounds, almost scabbed. You don't have to panic. Just take a seat in the living room. I will come after I put some medicine on them!"
Sheng Weiqiao then realized that his table was filled with all kinds of bottles and jars. When the wind came in, she could smell a sense of medicine. She was so shy and angry that she stamped her feet and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were taking medicines earlier!? Also! Why didn't you close the door?!"
"I told the steward to close the door when he left." Sheng Shuihe felt kind of aggrieved. He was about to take off all his clothes and take his medicine when the steward came. Although they were both men, he was not used to being naked in front of anyone, so he hid in the curtains.
He thought he used a few words to send away that steward, and then he could concentrate on the medicine. He didn't expect his sister to come after the steward and kicked the door open without saying more than two words. Well, no one should blame him, right?
"Be careful next time! You don't wanna be indecent!" Sheng Weiqiao argued irrationally and pretended to be mad. When she was going to leave, she suddenly saw a piece of a jade pendant with an image of two kylins frolicking with a pearl on a small table not far away. The jade pendant was lifelike Chinese kylins carved from flawless white jade. In the position of the eyes were a pair of glowing pearls. Under the lightly lifted forepaws, the dragon was clutching a gold ball of silk the size of a fingernail. All of this was a very rare technique for inlaying gold and jade.
However, what made Sheng Weiqiao quite surprised was the craving technique of this jade pendant. These kylins were not only lifelike on the jade pendant, it also highlighted the auspicious beasts of peace, majesty, majestic and vivid. This was a level that ordinary craftsmen could not reach!
Although she did not learn how to appreciate jade, she was born to a knowledgeable family. With her father, she saw much different jade. As a result, her vision was greatly improved. So, after only one glance, she was pretty sure that in the whole of Nanfeng County, no, actually, in the whole of South, there was no such great craftsman!
"Where did you get this jade?" It reminded her of Mrs. Feng's doubts about Sheng Shuihe and his mother. Sheng Weiqiao began to get suspicious, and then pointed at the jade and asked, "I guess this must be very valuable?"
"You like it?" Sheng Shuihe did not even look at that jade and smiled, "If you like it, take it then! I found it anyway!"
Sheng Weiqiao felt that he did not care too much about the jade pendant. Perhaps her suspicion was wrong, but she thought again, "This person is very cunning, perhaps he deliberately said so to dispel my doubt?"
She pursed her lips and said, "If you say so!" Then she walked straight to that jade and took it up into the sleeve.
During this process, she had been watching the expression of Sheng Shuihe, but he was dealing with the medicine on the table, not paying attention to the jade at all.
"See you can pretend how long!" Sheng Weiqiao deliberately left slowly with such an idea. When she finally reached the door, Sheng Shuihe said unexpectedly, "If you have nothing to say, I will take medicines now?"
"Let's go!" Sheng Weiqiao turned her head and saw him holding a couple of vulneraries. His poor expression seemed to hope Sheng Weiqiao could leave soon, and then he could use these vulneraries. She felt the oppression in her chest again!
She stamped her feet with anger again. She clutched the Chinese kylin jade pendant tightly in her sleeve and hmphed, "Remember! Don't ever do such indecent things again!" Then, she left and never looked back. However, her hasty movement instantly revealed her lack of confidence.
"Tut!" Sheng Shuihe laughed and closed the door behind her, shook his head and sighed, "Still a little girl!"
He thought his little sister was going to show her tough side, burst into his room, and then slap him for being such a dirty thing to stain her eyes!
