Shen Linghan looked at Shen Ninghua with hatred, wishing she could use her eyes to slice her into pieces. “Bitch, you damned bitch! You’ve been waiting for this day, haven’t you? You’ve been waiting to see me die!”

Shen Ninghua turned around and coldly glanced across her crazy face. A faint smile appeared on her lips. “Shen Linghan, you have no right to complain about the fruits you got for what you did to me in my previous life!” Moreover, it’s not just you. The people who owed me in my previous life must pay all their debts in this life!

The dark room was like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, waiting to devour the dirty soul. Shen Ninghua had no intention of staying any longer. She turned around and walked towards the door. “Shen Linghan, you and I are sisters. I won’t kill you. Whether you can survive or not depends on your fortune.”

Shen Ninghua walked out of the room and looked at the dark sky. Her gaze became even darker, like a karmic fire slowly burning in the hell, vast and spacious, but also empty and lonely.

Bai Ruo helped Shen Ninghua into the carriage. Shen Ninghua instructed her, “Bai Ruo, stay here with Hong Ling and wait for Doctor Zhang Nian to finish treating before you come back. Here are a thousand taels of silver for my father. Tell him that this is the last time I help him. He should know what to do.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After removing a large rock that had been pressing down on her chest, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she felt extremely empty and lost as well. Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but turn her head to look at the street outside through the gap of the carriage window. There were no people on either side of the road, only raindrops continuously knocking on the road paved with bluestones.

She used to try deliberately focusing her attention on the crowded streets. At that time, the streets were filled with people. Some had numb expressions, some had smiles on their faces, some burst into curses, some smiled sweetly…However, she did not feel the slightest bit of liveliness. It was as if everything was a painting, whereas she was left alone outside the drawing paper.

After she was back in Ruixi Courtyard, Shen Ninghua dismissed the maids and opened the window in her room. She watched the rain hitting the new leaves outside the corridor. Her eyes were empty and no one could tell what she was thinking.

Chu Junyi heard the sound from outside. When he walked out of the cabinet, his heart trembled. He didn’t know how many times he had seen such a lonely and desperate aura from her. She was clearly standing quietly, but he could feel bursts of howls and roars from her. No matter how calm her face was, he could still feel the magma surging in her heart.

“Ninghua, you’re back?”

Shen Ninghua was suddenly woken up. She turned to look at Chu Junyi, and the emotions in her eyes were completely restrained. “You are still here?”

Chu Junyi’s heart ached as he walked to Shen Ninghua’s side and closed the window with a bang. “It’s just a heavy rain. What’s so good about it when a handsome man like me is standing in front of you?”

The corner of Shen Ninghua’s mouth twitched. He always had a way to make people want to slap him in the face, and this feeling was becoming more and more intense.

“Your sister Xiao Huanxi is awake. Hurry up and go back to see her. My Prefectural Princess Mansion is too small for you.”

Chu Junyi shook his head repeatedly. “How can you do that? Don’t you see the weather outside? The wounds in my body haven’t completely healed. If I leave now, they will be more severe. Hmm? Ninghua, you’re urging me to go back. Are you planning something naughty?”

Shen Ninghua did not understand. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Haha,” Chu Junyi rubbed his chin and curled his lips in a slightly sinister manner. “Once I get even more seriously injured in the rain, I can stay with you for a little longer. Doesn’t that mean you can see me every day? Ah, you are going to marry me soon. If you want me to stay here longer with you, just tell me. There is no need to beat around the bush like this. ”

Shen Ninghua suppressed her impulse to slap him. She turned around and sat on a stool at the side. She poured a cup of tea and took a sip to forcefully control the anger in her heart. “Just take it that I didn’t say anything.”

“You have love in your heart but you just can’t say it loud… Ninghua, you’re too shy.”

“Get lost!”

“Haha, Ninghua, don’t be shy. You should learn more from me. I say explicitly that I like you very much. When did I ever conceal it?”

“…That’s because you have no sense of shame!” Shen Ninghua rolled her eyes and simply ignored him.

She had thought that it would be hard for her to sleep because of what happened today, but she actually slept soundly at night. When she opened her eyes the next morning, the sky was already bright outside.

Shen Ninghua raised her head to look at the closed window. A trace of light flashed in her eyes. Last night, when Chu Junyi closed the window, it was as if he had also blocked the heavy rain and the unbearable memories of that night outside the window. When the storm subsided, she pushed open the window again. It was already an idyllic scene with birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at the pot of azaleas on the table. Her eyes curved slightly and a sincere smile appeared on her lips. When she was sad, someone could tell jokes to cheer her up. This feeling wasn’t bad.

Chu Junyi walked out of the room and carefully stretched his waist. He felt that the wound on his back was a little tense but he did not feel any stinging pain. His mood immediately became very good. “Ninghua, your medicine really works. If it were any other medicine, the wound wouldn’t heal in a dozen days. How much medicine do you still have? Give me some.”

“Will you pay for it?” Shen Ninghua asked as she wiped the water off her hands.

“Alright, I’ll have someone deliver a hundred taels of gold the other day. Give me medicine worth this amount of money first.”

This person sounded like a landlord who had become rich overnight. Shen Ninghua secretly rolled her eyes at him, but she did not refuse. “Alright.”

“Ninghua, it’s sunny today. I want to go back to the Xiao Mansion to take a look. Don’t miss me.”

Shen Ninghua sat in front of the dressing table combing her hair. She did not even raise her eyes and said, “See you.”

Chu Junyi walked to the window and wanted to jump out, but he suddenly stopped. He turned around and walked behind Shen Ninghua. He took out a peach-wood comb from his pocket and said, “This is for you.”

Shen Ninghua paused when Chu Junyi stuffed the comb in her hand. She lowered her head to look at the smooth wooden comb in her hand and was slightly stunned.

Chu Junyi turned his head and took out a golden phoenix hairpin and six tiny hairpin flowers from the jewelry box. “These look best on you. I’m leaving now.” After that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared.

When Bai Ruo heard the noise in the room, she knocked on the door and came in. “Miss, you got up. Why didn’t you call me? Fortunately, I heard the noise in the room and came in.”

Shen Ninghua was staring at the jewels on the table. After hearing Bai Ruo’s words, she restored her senses. “Yesterday, when I went to sleep, you and Hong Ling hadn’t returned yet, so I wanted to let you two have some more rest today.”

“I’m not tired at all. Yesterday, when Doctor Zhang Nian finished feeling the pulse, it rained too heavily. The Sixth Prince of the Great Yue Kingdom and Second Prince also repeatedly asked about the Second Miss’s illness, which took me a little longer to return.”

“Alright.” Shen Ninghua nodded.

“Miss, what hairstyle do you want today?”

Shen Ninghua glanced at the mirror and said, “Just a cloud bun…Use the hairpins on the table.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After finishing her makeup, Shen Ninghua changed into a new set of clothes and asked Qing Que to prepare a carriage for her. She then got on the carriage and headed for the Palace.

Princess Anning was very happy about Shen Ninghua’s visit, and she hurriedly instructed the palace maids to prepare tea and dessert.

“Ninghua, this is the first time you came to the Palace to see me without being invited by me.”

Shen Ninghua pursed her lips and smiled gently. “Since you said so, I will come to the Palace to play with you every day. Don’t find me annoying at that time.”

Seeing the rare brilliant smile on Shen Ninghua’s face, Baili Anning was slightly stunned. Even she was dazzled by this person’s smile, let alone her Second Brother. It seemed that Ninghua’s bearing and appearance were meant to make women jealous.

“It’s said that girls undergo eighteen transformations when they grow up. You are really different and more beautiful since your fifteenth birthday.” Baili Anning teased.

Shen Ninghua smiled. “Aren’t you the same?”

“I can’t compare with you. You are the bright moon in the sky. I can’t even compare to a small star.” Even when she said so, Baili Anning’s tone did not show the slightest bit of jealousy.

Shen Ninghua knew that she had no other intentions, so she said, “I came here to bring you some good stuff, but it seems like you don’t need it.”

“Good stuff?” Baili Anning’s eyes lit up. She stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ninghua’s arm. “What good stuff? Quickly take it out!”

“If the instructing nurse sees you behave like this, she will nag you again. Alright, I have given it to your palace maid Qiu Shi when I entered the door. Just let her bring it in.”

“Qiu Shi, quickly bring over what Ninghua brought me.”

The palace maid hurriedly brought in a small incense burner. Baili Anning twitched her nose and suddenly smelled a unique fragrance. The fragrance was not the popular incense or rose fragrance, but a delicate and faint fragrance. It smelled exceptionally cool and clear and even had a refreshing effect.

“I’ve long heard that you can’t sleep well at night, so I concocted this Ice Soul Incense. Doctor Chen has already examined it. It won’t harm your body and can help you sleep well at night.”

Baili Anning’s heart skipped a beat. She held Shen Ninghua’s hand tightly and said, “Ninghua, if you were a man, I would definitely choose you to be my husband!”

Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed out loud. “Fortunately, I’m not a man.”

“Why? I’m Princess Anning. Did you have something to lose if you marry me?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Baili Anning wouldn’t let go, and she stepped forward to tickle Shen Ninghua.

“Haha.” Shen Ninghua stood up and dodged, and Baili Anning immediately caught up.

As she dodged, Shen Ninghua did not notice the person entering the door and almost crashed into that person’s embrace.

Baili Jinchuan had come here to ask Baili Anning to invite Shen Ninghua into the Palace, but the moment he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he heard a burst of laughter.

“Is that…Shen Ninghua’s voice?” Thinking about it, he pushed open the door and walked in without letting the maid announce his arrival.

But as soon as he entered, he saw a figure approaching him. He subconsciously supported her. “Ninghua?”

Shen Ninghua hurriedly took two steps back, and the smile on her face quickly faded. “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Are you so unhappy to see me? You were clearly laughing so happily a moment ago…

Noticing the unusual atmosphere, Baili Anning stepped forward and stood between them. “Second Brother, why did you suddenly come over without notification?”

“I’m here to see you.” Baili Jinchuan walked into the main hall and smelled the unusual fragrance in the room. His mood calmed down slightly. “Anning, what kind of fragrance is this?”

“Oh, it’s the Ice Soul Incense Ninghua gave me. It can help me sleep and is harmless to my body.”

Baili Jinchuan glanced at Shen Ninghua, only to see her head lowered and her long and thick eyelashes. “I heard that Her Majesty couldn’t sleep well recently. She has invited many doctors but it didn’t work. You can send some of the incense to her.”
