Chapter 8
He took a step forward and said distressedly: "Girl, are you having a nightmare?"

Immediately, Guyu picked up the tea prepared in advance and handed it to Fu Yao, patting Fu Yao's thin back gently. Fu Yao took the tea, took a sip and nodded.

The warm tea poured into her mouth, and Fu Yao slowly regained consciousness. After clarifying the world she was in now, her eyes were clear and no longer frightened.

"Girl, if not, why don't you go and report to Madam and invite the doctor?" Gu Yu said softly, thinking that the girl had nightmares every winter, and her body became even weaker.

Fu Yao grabbed Gu Yu's hand, shook her head, and whispered: "It's just a nightmare. It will be fine after this period of time. If I have to trouble others because of me, my mother will not be happy."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yu had some tears in his eyes and stamped his feet vigorously.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in her ears. Fu Yao was stunned for a moment, her dark eyes turned slightly, and she said in shock: "Gu Yu, what's the sound next to you?"

At this moment, Fu Yao's eyes were filled with confusion. Although her Anhe Courtyard was the courtyard of the direct daughter of the General Jingyuan Mansion, it was also the most remote courtyard in the entire General Jingyuan Mansion.

How could an ordinary person suddenly come here and make such a noisy sound? It can be said that it has never been seen or heard in more than ten years.

Today, it seems particularly strange!
Gu Yu first glanced outside, then took a step forward, sat behind their young lady, stretched out his hand to rub Fu Yao's eyes, and said softly: "Miss, Mr. Shen who has been here for the past few days has moved into the house next door to us. courtyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yao exclaimed, "But what about Shen Zhaoxian?"

Gu Yu responded and nodded.

Seeing Gu Yu's appearance, Fu Yao didn't feel much surprise and slowly turned around.

As Gu Yu sat behind her and rubbed her eyes, she was deep in thought. She thought that based on the extent of her grandmother's love for Shen Zhaoxian, she would not let the eldest lady tease Shen Zhaoxian like this, but she didn't expect?
It seems that all this is just on the surface. After all, the stepmother has the final say in everything in the General Jingyuan Mansion, and the real power is still in the hands of the stepmother.

Fu Yao didn't know that Mrs. Fu really wanted Mrs. Xie to arrange a courtyard with a good location for Shen Zhaoxian. However, Mrs. Xie refused all this on the grounds that Shen Zhaoxian should 'study quietly' now.

As soon as these words came out, even the eloquent Mrs. Fu was speechless. After all, it was Mrs. Fu who asked Mrs. Xie to find a secluded place in the mountain for Shen Zhao so that he could study and review his homework in peace. Prepare for the coming year.

There are several secluded places in General Jingyuan's Mansion. For example, the Chanxinyuan in the south is also an excellent secluded place, dozens of times better than the Anheyuan next to Fu Yao.

Fu Yao didn't understand why Mrs. Xie wanted to place Shen Zhaoxian near her. The Zen Heart Courtyard was obviously better than her place.

"Gu Yu, has the courtyard next door been uninhabited for decades?" Fu Yao pursed her lips and asked softly.

"Miss, no one has lived in the Qingwu Courtyard next door since something unlucky happened." Gu Yu thought for a while and responded softly.

Qingwu Courtyard is the courtyard next door to Fu Yao. Although it is the courtyard next door to hers, the walls are more than twice as high.

Anhe Courtyard and Qingwu Courtyard are the courtyards closest to the west of General Jingyuan's Mansion, but one is the inner courtyard and the other is the outer courtyard. Fu Yao was sent here by her stepmother.

As for Shen Zhaoxian...

The noisy sound lasted until nightfall and finally stopped. Fu Yao stood closest to Qingwu Courtyard, her eyes blending into the darkness of the night. No one could tell what she was thinking.After a long time, I heard her sigh softly. The long-abandoned Qingwu Courtyard was now occupied by people. I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

······
Qingwu Courtyard, study room.

Waves of chill spread throughout the study, and the fragile candlelight flickered, reflecting the dark and unclear mood in the room on the wall.

Shen Zhaoxian stood in front of the desk and looked around. The room was very simple. Before he could think about it carefully, he knew that no one had lived in this room for a long time.

However, it is already considered excellent for Shen Zhaoxian.

He has successfully entered General Jingyuan's Mansion and fulfilled his father's last wish before his death. As long as he successfully marries the daughter of the Fu family, it will be the best.

Shen Zhaoxian had never thought of using the power of General Jingyuan's Mansion to help him in his career. On the contrary, if it were not for his father's last wish before his death, he would not have come to General Jingyuan's Mansion anyway.

As a scholar, the integrity in his bones cannot be erased by anyone, and he will not be allowed to grovel to anyone easily.

At dawn, Fu Yao woke up from her sleep, her delicate body dripping with sweat. Obviously, she didn't sleep very well last night.

The nightmare alone this night had exhausted him, especially about what happened yesterday.

Holding a cup of herbal tea with both hands, the cool liquid fell into her stomach, and her heart hanging in the air relaxed slightly, letting Gu Yu help her wash and dress up.

The general walked to the door, and the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard in his ears. The voice was even clear, and the sound was not sloppy at all. Just from the voice, you can know what kind of person its owner is.

However, Fu Yao's feet only paused slightly, and the expression on her face returned to normal.

Shen Zhaoxian's marriage originally fell on the second sister. The marriage could be anyone, the second sister, the third sister, but it could never be her. It was not that she looked down on Shen Zhaoxian.

It is true that judging from yesterday's performance, Shen Zhaoxian is indeed an extremely outstanding person, but Fu Yao is a lady after all, even if she does not have the innate arrogance of others.

They also knew very well in their hearts that the first half of their women's lives depended on their parents, and the second half of their lives depended on their husbands. According to the current emphasis on military generals in the Zhou Dynasty, it was difficult for civil servants to have a chance to get ahead.

Not to mention these, she is just a helpless person with no real power in her hands and no strong power behind her. If she and Shen Zhaoxian are tied together, I am afraid that both of them will hate each other.

This is not what Fu Yao wants to see.

"Miss, Mr. Shen is extremely diligent. I think he will have a bright future in the future."

Fu Yao heard it, and as a slave, Gu Yu naturally heard it too. He held Fu Yao's elbows with both hands, pouted and smiled.

 Please give me your support, all the cuties!
