Infatuation is the most boring thing

  Chu Qingxuan might be intimidated, but Xiao Zongrong regretted not being able to see his expression personally when he unfolded the painting scroll. He must have been a little moved!

  She didn't want to draw too much attention, but she also didn't want to wait for too long. Her leg had to be treated as soon as possible if there was any hope, so she could only stake her future on Chu Qingyan!

  Although Old Master Hou had promised to help her with her leg, he hadn't been seen since she was kicked out of the Xiao family. Chunxiang had quietly inquired and found that Old Master Hou had left the Xiao estate early that morning and hadn't returned since; he must still be unaware of her being kicked out.

  She never pinned her hopes on the unknown, so once she could "walk", she had to start working hard for herself.

  Chun Xiang went to paint with Zhang Qing accompanying her, there's nothing to worry about. She thought that Chu Liang would have some reaction after seeing those two paintings! If he remains indifferent, she'll have to find another collaborator!

  He slowly turned around in the yard, exercised a bit, and then heard someone outside shouting: "Is anyone there? Is anyone alive making a sound?"

  The voice was somewhat familiar, and after a moment's thought, she realized it was Lian Mei, the maid beside He Dongxue. What did she come for?

  She didn't make a sound, using her crutches to drag her heavy body out slowly. The maid continued to shout rudely: "Are they all dead? If you're alive, at least let out a couple of groans!"

  Xiao Congrong stood at the low wall and looked out, seeing a soft sedan chair stopped on the empty ground outside the large courtyard. Wu Mingyuan's guard Rong Guang and two sedan bearers were attending to the sedan, while Lian Mei was banging on the large gate.

  She shouted for half a day and her hands were probably sore from clapping, before she turned around and walked to the sedan chair, shouting: "Princess Wang, there's no one! Let's go back!"

  "Impossible! Didn't Master Wang say that Rongrong lives here? She can't walk, it must be the maid who left, let's go in and take a look!"

  The sedan curtain lifted lightly, and He Dongxiu put on a white embroidered cloak and walked out weakly, as if she couldn't withstand the wind.

  "Your Highness, don't go in, the Yu family's mansion has bad feng shui, you've just recovered from your illness, don't stir up any unclean things!" Lian Mei held her back and advised.

  "What's unclean about it? Rongrong lives here and nothing happens, what could happen to me?"

  He Dongxiu walked forward with a scowl, looking at the desolate outer wall and sighed: "Rongrong is so pitiful, living in such a place. The outside is already so dilapidated, can people even live inside?"

  "That's what she gets! Princess, don't sympathize with her, people who do wrong should be punished! Serves her right!" Lian Mei said quickly.

  "Shut up! You're getting more and more out of line!" He Donghui suddenly shouted: "Rongrong is like a sister to me, if it weren't for me, she would be the princess now. Doesn't she deserve your respect? She's still young, and even if she did something wrong, it's understandable! She's already been punished, can't you give her a chance to make amends? What do you mean by 'deserves it'?"

  "Me... " The words were spoken in a tone that made Lian Mei lower her head in shame: "Lian Mei knows she was wrong, Your Highness please forgive me!"

  Rong Guang nodded in approval beside him, no wonder the king liked He Wangfei, she indeed had the demeanor of a queen, not calculating grudges, treating people with kindness and generosity.

  At this time, a moving song came from somewhere: "The red dust is so ridiculous, the foolish love is the most boring..."

  Everyone looked up and saw a black-clad girl sitting on the short wall, narrowing her eyes to gaze at the distant sky, humming casually...
