Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

At this time, Shen Chenhui, who had just come ashore, was wet all over, like a drowned rat.

He wrung the water out of his clothes and walked towards Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian looked at this nosy brother and asked, "Second brother, why are you here?"

Shen Chenhui smiled bitterly and said, “I’m tired of reading, so I’m just taking a walk nearby.

I heard someone fell into the water, so I ran over! I didn’t expect it was my cousin who fell into the water.”

Then he looked at Lin Yun, who was coughing on the ground, and took the clothes handed over by the maid and put them on her. Then he asked with concern: "Cousin, are you okay? How did you fall into the water?"

Shen Qianqian answered without any guilt: "Oh, she was just standing at the edge, her foot slipped, and she fell in."

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other. The lie made up by the second young lady was not sincere at all.

But it's none of their business.

Qing Feng bowed to Shen Qianqian and Shen Chenhui and said, "Second Miss, Second Young Master, since my cousin has been rescued by you, I will withdraw first."

Shen Chenhui's eyes flashed and he said nothing.

Shen Qianqian was feeling upset now, so she waved her hand to signal them to leave quickly.

Shen Chenxi, who was hiding in the corner, saw all of this.

He stood up, looked at Shen Chenhui's back as he walked away thoughtfully, and chuckled.

"I didn't expect that this second brother has such deep thoughts."

After everyone around him left, he avoided the crowd and returned to his own yard.

Inside the Hexiangya Courtyard

Lin Xixia sat beside the bed, staring at Lin Yun on the bed nervously, her eyes full of pity and worry.

At this moment, Lin Yun had changed into a set of dry clothes, but her face was still as pale as paper, and she lay there quietly.

One of her hands stretched out from outside the quilt, and the court doctor was concentrating on taking her pulse.

After a while, the court doctor finally let go of her hand and said, "Madam, my cousin is fine, she was just frightened and choked on some water.

Just drink some calming tea."

Hearing this news, Lin Xixia's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and she nodded gently and said, "That's good, as long as everything is fine.

As she spoke, she picked up her handkerchief and gently wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you, doctor." Lin Xixia said gratefully to the court physician.

"Madam, you are too kind. This is all my responsibility. Since my cousin is fine, I will take my leave now."

The court doctor bowed to Lin Xixia, then turned and left the room.

After the court doctor left, Lin Xixia waved everyone away.

Then he ordered: "Yuzhu, Yucui, the two of you go guard the door and don't let anyone get close to here."

"Yes, sir!" the two maids responded in unison and then left the room.

When there were only three of them left in the room, the gentleness on Lin Xixia's face no longer existed.

She asked in a cold voice: "What is going on? You two, tell me clearly."

Shen Qianqian was a little afraid of her mother's gloomy face.

She couldn't help but pout and said aggrievedly: "It's because my eldest brother ignores us and doesn't like my cousin either.

We just wanted to create an opportunity for a hero to save the beauty, so that the big brother would not just stand by and watch her die!

As long as he jumps into the water to save someone, we can use this as an excuse to get my cousin to marry him."

Lin Xixia frowned and asked, "Then why did she become the one saved by Shen Chenhui?"

Shen Qianqian lowered her head, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "Later, some accidents happened..."

Lin Xixia looked at her seriously and said, "Tell me in detail."

So, Shen Qianqian told Lin Xixia what happened today in detail.

After listening to it, Lin Xixia did not believe it as easily as Shen Qianqian.

Instead, he asked someone to find Xiao Hong and ask, "Let me ask you, did you really see the young master go home today?"

Xiao Hong nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Madam, I saw the young master come back with my own eyes, and then I went to report to you."

Lin Xixia waved her hand to signal Xiaohong to leave the room.

After Xiaohong left, she turned to look at her daughter and asked sternly, "Now do you understand? Do you know where the problem lies?"

Shen Qianqian nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Big Brother knows our plan, and he has even plotted against us. This is really abominable!"

"Aunt, what should we do now?" Lin Yun asked softly, sobbing softly, looking at a loss.

Lin Xixia walked over, took Lin Yun's hand, patted it gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, your aunt will definitely make your wish come true."

"But now my cousin hates me so much, do I still have a chance?"

Lin Yun's face was full of grievance and tears kept flowing down.

"At this point, we have no way out. We can only burn our boats."

A look of determination flashed across Lin Xixia's eyes, and then she leaned close to Lin Yun's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Lin Yun's face turned red instantly and she nodded shyly to show her agreement.

Shen Qianqian, who was standing by, looked at them curiously and couldn't help asking, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't you let me know?"

Lin Xixia glared at her and replied coldly: "You will know tonight."

Shen Qianqian was full of doubts, but seeing her mother's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask any further questions and had to shut up.

At this time, Shen Chenxi was sitting quietly in the study, thinking about what to do next.

I guess Lin Xixia already knows what happened today, so what will she do next?

Suddenly he thought of something. When he was young, he once heard someone in his mother's room mention that the reason why Lin Xixia became his father's concubine was because she once brought food to his father, and later they had a relationship, and his grandmother decided to make her a concubine.

If Lin Xixia wants to use the same trick again...

Shen Chenxi slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the birds singing on the branches outside the window.

He whispered to himself, "Then let her never come back."

Then he raised his voice and called out, "Ming Yue."

Mingyue walked quickly into the room and saluted him.

Shen Chenxi walked towards Mingyue and whispered a few words in his ear.

Afterwards, Mingyue hurriedly left the mansion and did not return until the evening.

In the evening, Shen Chenxi was still looking for information in the study room when suddenly, Qingfeng pushed the door open in a hurry.

"Master, my cousin has gone out. It seems she is coming to the front yard."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Chenxi's lips.

He murmured, "I didn't expect you to actually use this trick! Don't blame me for being rude then."

Then, he ordered Qingfeng: "Go and find the second young master."

"Yes,"

Shen Chenhui lives next door, so he arrived quickly.

After a while he knocked on the door and came in.
