The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 263 Liu Qing's Troubles

Shen Runing has had an exceptionally leisurely life recently.

After placing a series of chess pieces, she temporarily diverted her attention from the turbulent situation and concentrated on enjoying this rare leisure.

The early morning sun shone into the courtyard where she was, and golden spots of light passed through the carved window lattices and reflected on the desk in front of her.

Shen Runing was holding an ancient book in his hand, but he was flipping through it very carelessly, obviously absent-minded.

She is waiting.

What are you waiting for?

She was waiting for Luo Mian's reply.

She was waiting for news that Ji Yun was poisoned.

She was waiting for the prince to go crazy.

She is still waiting... for the meeting with Concubine Jing.

Shen Runing had a smile on her lips, the teacup in her hand was slightly tilted, and the fragrance of tea drifted in the courtyard.

His eyes swept across the flowers and trees in the yard and stopped on Liu Qing who was not far away.

Liu Qing was pinching his waist, his face full of depression. He pinched the newly grown flesh with both hands and kept muttering.

"Miss, please, find me something to do! Or you can just tell me to kill someone! I've been eating too well these days, and the fat on my waist is almost like a swimming ring!"

Shen Runing put down the teacup and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Who made you greedy?"

Liu Qing sat down on the steps, raised her head and sighed: "Miss, you don't understand! The food in the Shen Mansion is too good! How can I refuse!"

Miss, do you think Chunzhi will dislike me if I do this? "

Shen Runing laughed softly: "You just think nonsense."

Liu Qing still had a worried look on his face and pinched his cheeks: "Miss, you said that too lightly. Chunzhi's eyes are very poisonous. I'm afraid that if I get fatter, she will suspect that I am a pet you raise to kill time..."

Shen Runing shook her head gently, smiling: "You, don't worry so much. These days of having nothing to do may end soon."

Sure enough, before she finished her words, she heard hurried footsteps coming from a distance.

"Miss!"

It is the sound of spring.

Shen Runing raised his head and saw Chunzhi trotting into the yard with a look of anxiety on his face.

"what happened?"

Chunzhi walked quickly to Shen Runing, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words.

Shen Runing frowned when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "What happened to Sister Huang?"

Sister Huang is the powerful general she accepted when she was just reborn, Huang Lan, who has her own money-making system.

Chunzhi shook his head.

"Miss, I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard people who work in the shop talk about it a few times."

"I heard about it again today. It was said that Sister Huang was distracted and broke three bottles of perfume from Bei Ming..."

Shen Runing frowned slightly, put down the ancient book in his hand, and said in a calm tone with unquestionable majesty: "What's wrong with Sister Huang recently? She has never been a person who would make mistakes."

Chunzhi lowered his head with a complicated expression: "Miss, I also find it strange. Sister Huang used to be the most reliable person in the shop, especially after you handed over the shop to her, there have been no problems in the past few months, and the profit is even better than expected."

"But recently, she has been absent-minded and has been making mistakes one after another."

"Tell me, what went wrong with her?"

Chunzhi thought for a moment and answered softly, "For example, last time, Sister Huang applied the wrong color of the facial mask ordered by the customer, and also applied a fragrance that a noble lady had clearly forbidden to use, which almost caused trouble."

"Later, she used too much force during the massage and poked a customer's eye, causing it to be red and swollen for several days. Last week, even more outrageous, she actually forgot to pay the monthly salary to the people in the shop, causing many people to murmur behind her back, saying that something was wrong with the shop."

Hearing this, Shen Runing tapped the desk with her fingers, and a hint of deep thought flashed through her eyes: "Sister Huang has always been efficient and capable, it is impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake for no reason. It seems that there is another hidden story behind this."

Chunzhi nodded hurriedly. She told all this to Shen Runing not to tell tales or to start a "workplace struggle". She was just worried, worried about Huang Lan, and even more worried about Shen Runing's shop.

"Chunzhi, see if Sister Huang is busy now. If not, bring her over to see me."

"Yes, miss." Chunzhi nodded and turned to leave.

Before leaving, she glanced at Liu Qing who was sitting on the steps in the yard. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was blaming Liu Qing for doing nothing all day.

Liu Qing immediately felt Chunzhi's gaze, and became completely upset. She pinched her cheek and complained to Shen Runing.

"Miss! I told you, Chunzhi must dislike me! Look at the look in her eyes, it's obvious that she's saying 'You're just a useless fat loser'!"

Shen Runing laughed, and his eyes fell on Liu Qing gently: "You, don't always let your imagination run wild."

Then the tone changed: "Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, why not go run a few laps in the yard to reduce your 'swimming ring'? That way, when you really have something to do, you won't be too exhausted."

(ps: No matter fat or thin, everyone has their own beauty. Here, Liu Qing is called "fat", and Shen Runing asked her to run in the yard, which means that girls are prone to body anxiety when there is nothing wrong with their body. It is just a daily joke between friends.)

When Liu Qing heard this, his face became even more bitter: "Miss! Even you dislike my fatness..."

Shen Runing chuckled and shook his head, then picked up the teacup, his eyes cast towards the courtyard in the distance, a meaningful smile emerging on his face.

……

When Huang Lan heard Chunzhi say that Shen Runing was looking for her, she suddenly felt much more at ease.

She had made so many mistakes, and she would be panicked if Shen Runing just ignored it.

After giving a few words to his youngest son who was playing in the shop, he hurried out of the door with Chunzhi.

After seeing Shen Runing, he knelt down without saying a word.

Shen Runing was stunned and quickly helped Huang Lan.

"Sister Huang, what are you doing?"

Huang Lan was terrified.

"Miss Shen, please stop calling me 'sister'. You are the Lady of Fangyi County, the Princess of Ruyang..."

"I... I am just a commoner, how can I afford this..."

Huang Lan was pulled up tremblingly by Shen Runing.

"Sister Huang, your trust in me and your words for me at Jishiditang that day are enough for me to call you 'sister'."
