Chapter 244 – Playing Underhanded Tricks
Because An Yanran had given her a gift, Shen Zhiyun had a better impression of her and told her mother about the day’s events.
Fang Shi nodded at her words: “I told you, that child Qingran is not bad. How could your Aunt grandmother lie to me. Not to mention that Qingran is her own granddaughter, how could she harm her own granddaughter? Obviously, your great aunt also sees that your brother is a talent, this time for the examinations, it’s up to your brother.”
An Qingran did not know that she was giving people a talking to behind her back like this. She was just careful and cautious again. She was wary of the maids brought by the Shen family.
When she encountered them on her walks, she was also wary that they might do something.
In this way, a few days of repose passed.
An Qingran was planting herbs in her own courtyard with Rendong. Then a maid name Zhu’er, who was brought by the Shen family, came to invite An Qingran, saying that her lady wanted to talk to her for a while.
When An Qingran asked Zhu’er who else she had invited, Zhu’er said there was no one else.
An Qingran went.

Shen’s family lived in the courtyard just to the west of her grandmother’s. And the eastern backyard was occupied by Chu Shi, An Yangyue and others. The Shen family’s stay made the General’s Mansion smaller all of a sudden. Their house is very close to Wangyue Tower. Nearly, this made An Qingran feel uncomfortable.
An Qingran entered the courtyard and Zhu’er led her to the main room on the east side.
As soon as she entered the house, Fang Shi was enthusiastic: “Come on, come and sit here.”
That was the upper position, An Qingran declined and sat down, with a smile on her face. As Fang Shi made arrangements to serve tea and pastries, An Qingran sat there smiling lightly, waiting for the other party to speak.
Fang Shi pushed the pastry in front of her: “Qingran, come and taste it. This is our specialty, crab cakes. It seems that I haven’t heard of them anywhere in the capital.”
An Qingran smelled the scent and wanted to taste it, but because of her habit, she didn’t do it. She just smiled and said, “Is my aunt looking for something?”
“When I say something is wrong, I am also troubling you …… to take a look for me, these last two days, I always feel dizzy, but where is the illness?” As She said she extended her wrist to An Qingran.

When An Qingran saw that, she put her fingers up and held it carefully. Fang Shi did not speak. The room was quiet. She vaguely heard the voice of a man outside. She knew that Shen Zhihua also lived here, so her heart was on alert again.
After a long time, she withdrew her hand: “Your aunt’s pulse is weak and floating, I am afraid that your heart and kidneys are not intertwined and your qi and blood are weak, has your aunt had insomnia and dreams recently?”
Fang Shi’s eyes lit up: “Qingran is really talented. Yes, I haven’t told you just now, I just couldn’t sleep when I arrived here, that thought maybe it was a change of place, what did you say just now? Should I take some medicine?”
“It’s not really serious, I’ll prescribe some saffron and salvia later, auntie can boil in water and drink it ……”
“You kid, you really have the ability. Auntie really likes it the more you look at it. By the way, you sit down first. I’ll go to the kitchen and have a look. Aunty cooked something for you. I’ll see if it’s done.” After saying that, she went out mysteriously.
An Qingran sat there for a while waiting, but her aunt didn’t come back and the maids didn’t know where they had gone, leaving her alone. She hesitated and immediately got up, pushed open the window and rolled over to hide behind the wall, there were several flowering trees there, her figure could not be seen either from inside or from outside.
She did this because of the keen sense she developed after rebirth.
As long as there is something wrong, she will not take risks.
Sure enough, when she first went out, she heard the sound of footsteps. Through the small slits of the window, she first saw a person in white shirt, walked into the room, looked around as if looking for someone. An Qingran saw the face of the visitor, his eyes were like peach blossoms with frivolity, he reached out and pinched a piece of crab cake and put it into his mouth, chewing it delicately. Then he turned around in place a few more times, and finally sat down with a smile on his face on the chair where An Qinran had just sat, the smile on his face was intriguing, as if he was fantasizing about something, very smug. An Qinran didn’t want to spy on people like that, but she just wanted to verify if her aunt had asked her to come here just to create conditions for her son.
She deliberately hides now, and the maids also hide back. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
She was upset.

Now all this confirmed her thoughts. She turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly she heard the sound of footsteps. She couldn’t help but turned back, but heard a familiar voice: “Mrs. Shen, old lady invite you.”
There was no reply, she couldn’t help but repeat it again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhihua suddenly smiled when he heard the voice: “Come in.”
Then a figure in red walked in.
The red dress floated in quickly, but it was sister Qiao.
How did the old Furen inform Fang Shi that she would use Sister Qiao to come?
When An Qingran was wondering, the voice of that Qiao Sister came out: “Young Master Shen, the Old Mistress has asked Madam to go over.”
“Really? Why are you here, what is your name?” Shen Zhihua stood up and looked at Sister Qiao and his eyes lit up and he approached in a free and easy manner, staring at Sister Qiao’s eyes fixedly. Sister Qiao was a little embarrassed by him, and she lowered her head.
“Young Master Shen, is Madam not here?” Qiao sister wanted to laugh, but in the end she didn’t have the good sense to do so, instead she twisted her head and pursed her lips.
“You haven’t told me your name yet, so why are you asking me questions again?” Shen Zhihua’s voice was full of teasing.
An Qingran was a return person and knew as soon as she heard it that he was flirting with this little maid.
Sister Qiao was a child in the end. Perhaps no male had ever looked at her directly before, so she did not leave immediately, but was somewhat at a loss for words, looking at Shen Zhihua and surprisingly forgetting to leave, instead saying quietly, “My name is sister Qiao.”
“Sister Qiao, good name.” Shen Zhihua smiled gently and looked at her, taking another step closer, “Has anyone ever told you that you’re really beautiful?”
“Gongzi, don’t tease the slave servant, if Madam is not here, the slave servant should go back.” Sister Qiao finally felt that something was not quite right, so she was leaving.

“Do you think, if the lady were here, I would be able to talk to you at this moment? It’s good that Madame isn’t here, I’ve never seen a girl as pretty as you, how about keeping me company for a while ……” Shen Zhihua turned and reached for the pastry on the table and brought it to Sister Qiao, “Here, try it.”
“Slaves dare not.” Sister Qiao took a step back.
However, Shen Zhihua smiled, “That is my humble servant who has surprised the beautiful woman. In my eyes, you are not some slave girl. Many families’s ladies are not half as good as you in terms of model character.”
“Young master is really making the slave ashamed to kill……” Qiao sister finished to turn around, “If madam is not here, the slave servant will go back to turn in …… “
Shen Zhihua stretched out her hand and grabbed her. “Why? Do you think I am a frivolous person?”
Sister Qiao’s face turned red: “Slave servant doesn’t dare.”
