She couldn't help but think of the time when she made mistakes while studying in the academy as a child, and the teacher picked up the ruler to hit her palm. The serious old teacher would often look at her expressionlessly and say, "Put out your hand."
A simple sentence can scare people to death.
It’s exactly the same scene as now.
Shen Yunshu frowned when he saw her shrinking and not reaching out her hand.
Yin Mei retracted her hand for a moment and immediately realized something was wrong. The person in front of her was Shen Yunshu, not a teacher. When she raised her head and looked at him carefully, she saw Shen Yunshu's slightly frowned brows, and he was squinting at her.
Yin Mei felt that his eyes seemed to be saying, don't waste time.
The atmosphere was extremely quiet for a moment. Yin Mei shrank back a little, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly stretched out her hand.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Yunshu remembered her cute look when she cautiously popped her head out of the door just now. He just found it funny, but when his eyes fell on her wrist, his gaze froze.
Yin Mei's wrist was slender and white, flawless like the finest white jade, but someone had wasted this white jade by grinding it into pieces, breaking it, and throwing it aside.
After a night, the scars on Yin Mei's hands were no longer large and red like yesterday, but had turned blue and purple, with some blood scabs solidified, looking even more terrifying than yesterday.
Yin Mei felt that this injury was not a serious one, just a scratch that would heal in a few days, so she didn't pay much attention to it and didn't wrap it with gauze.
"What's going on?" Shen Yunshu asked coldly.
Yin Mei didn't expect him to ask her in detail. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a moment. Should she tell him that her father wanted to kidnap her and offer her to the prince, so she was injured in the hand by the maid in the process?
This matter was a family scandal and not glorious at all. Besides, she didn't know Shen Yunshu, so Yin Mei didn't want to explain it clearly.
"I fell accidentally." Yin Mei said softly.
Shen Yunshu looked at her quietly for a long while, and finally spoke. There was a sharpness in his voice that frightened Yin Mei, "Since you are not feeling well, please do less work today."
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for taking the measure." Yin Mei bowed.
Shen Yunshu stopped looking at her, walked out of the Shen Mansion and got on the carriage. For some reason, Yin Mei looked at his back and felt that his aura seemed to be more fierce and more frightening than when she first met him.
Shen Yunshu is really an unpredictable person. He looks like a handsome scholar with an extremely delicate face, but he has a sharp and murderous aura as if he has experienced bloodshed, swords and weapons.
Yin Mei just glanced at his back quietly, then quickly followed Cangsong into the mansion, not daring to look at him any more.
It was early morning, but the weather was still gloomy.
Ever since the snow, the capital city seemed to have entered winter again. The weather was freezing cold and never got warmer. Pedestrians on the street were shivering in their bulky cotton and linen jackets. On the street, a low-key and luxurious carriage was speeding towards the palace.
Shen Yunshu sat in the carriage, half-closing his eyes, listening to the sound of horse hooves and wheel tracks outside, playing with a silver hairpin in his hand.
