Chapter 2201: Spring is not too late
Shi Li looked at the bright and generous girl in front of him, and instantly guessed what she was planning.
His mind was racing, thinking about how to respond without being noticed, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the door curtain being lifted and Shi Yu hurried in accompanied by a maid.
"My sister has always been weak. Yesterday, she was so eager to see the big fish in the river that she accidentally caught a cold." Shi Yu said while blinking at Shi Li.
The two sisters understood each other's minds, and Shi Li immediately understood Shi Yu's little plan.
Trying hard to hold back laughter, she said shyly, "Sister..."
After all, they are twin sisters. Although Shi Li is much taller than Shi Yu, she is now sick and lying in bed, so the difference cannot be seen. What's more, it is the first time that Zhao Qianyue has seen the two of them.
Looking at Shi Yu who was smiling slightly, he really mistook her for his sister and quickly stood up and greeted her.
"I heard from father that my two sisters would stop here for a while, so I came here in a hurry. I hope you don't mind." After Zhao Qianyue finished speaking, she signaled the maid to give the fine bird's nest she brought to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu still smiled and glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid immediately took the gift box for her and said with a smile, "Thank you Miss Zhao for your trouble."
"Sister, please come here. My sister is sick again. I'll go out with her to talk to her. Don't make her sick again."
Shi Yuwen was gentle and just looked at Zhao Qianyue, but what she said was something she couldn't refuse.
Zhao Qianyue glanced at Shi Li who was lying steadily on the bed, but didn't see any clues. Knowing that the second young lady of the Shi family was indeed frail and sickly, she no longer doubted it and followed Shi Yu out affectionately.
As soon as she left, Gu Ma walked in and said with satisfaction, "The Second Miss has improved and knows how to share your burden."
"I didn't expect Yu'er to show up." Shi Li coughed twice and felt very relieved.
A character as smart and beautiful as Shi Yu, who is as noble as a bamboo, is not ignorant of the ways of the world. It's just that in the original plot, her parents are both dead, and she has no brothers or sisters to help her, so no matter how smart she is, it's useless.
After walking with Zhao Qianyue for a few steps nearby, Shi Yu used the excuse that the wind was strong to tactfully send her off, then turned around and hurried back to Shi Li.
She originally wanted to rush over to Shi Li and act coquettishly like she usually did, but then she remembered that she had just come back from outside and was still cold, so she stood by the bed with her eyes curved like crescent moons.
"Sister, sister, did Yu'er do a good job?" After saying that, she tilted her head and waited for Shi Li's praise.
Shi Li naturally had to praise her from head to toe, and by the way, she also vaguely revealed that they should be more vigilant when they went to the Fang family in the capital.
Before, Shi Yu only thought that the Fang family was the family of his grandmother who loved him, and never thought much about it. When he heard Shi Li say this, he was very surprised and puzzled, but he also agreed seriously.
After two days of care, Shi Li felt much better. She could get out of bed and move around freely, but she still felt a little weak.
It was midday and the sunlight was very bright. Shi Li walked a few steps in the house and stood in front of the window looking at the river view outside.
Mingchen also appeared in this scene. A jade-like young man walked out of the cabin, glanced over here inadvertently, and their eyes met.
"Okay?" He smiled and raised his voice slightly.
Shi Li nodded, "It's almost done."
"Come out, I'll take you to see the river fish?" Mingchen still remembered what he had promised.
After being stuck in the house for a few days, Shi Li felt really bored, so he put on a cloak and walked out of the house.
Mingchen seemed to be very familiar with the area. He only took her a few steps toward the river and then stopped, motioning for her to lower her head.
"Nothing." Shi Li looked down at the river and frowned again, thinking that he had been deceived again.
Mingchen didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a handful of powder from his sleeve and threw it into the river in front of her.
In just a blink of an eye, several fish of different sizes appeared in the river, swimming around in the water.
“I really saw it.”
Shi Li was surprised, but what made her more curious was the powder Mingchen had thrown before, "What did you throw just now?"
