Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Scandal

The girl, mindful of etiquette, thought for a moment, then lifted her wrist and waved to Cui Yun, as a greeting.

In the motion, the wide sleeve slipped down slightly, revealing the rosy Vajra Bodhi Bracelet coiled around her wrist.

Dominating half of Cui Yun’s field of view, it stood out conspicuously.

Shen Hua felt as though the gazes resting upon her softened for a moment.

At this moment, someone approached Cui Yun and gave a respectful bow.

Cui Yun stood up and engaged in indifferent small talk with this person.

Seeing this, Shen Hua quickly withdrew her hand and picked up the hand warmer, gently exhaling onto it.

Meandering along the main path.

The sky gradually dimmed, threads and strands of light being devoured bit by bit by the approaching dusk.

Shen Hua’s gaze shifted and landed on another place.

It was Xie Yining.

The girl stood in a corner, without the timidness that Shen Hua had seen before. She smiled at the approaching Xie Xun, her smile radiant and dazzling.

Xie Yining was puzzled.

"Didn’t brother say he wouldn’t come?"

Xie Xun spoke warmly, "I just learned something from someone else, and felt that Shengjing is not entirely peaceful. So I came especially to fetch you and Mama."

"But we haven’t had our dinner banquet yet."

The dinner banquet was indeed the main banquet.

"Since brother has come, let’s eat together and then leave. Mama is up ahead."

Xie Xun laughed, "No, I dare not meet her."

"Who knows, later on, she might take this opportunity to have me look at you again; it’s really a headache."

"I came with Ji Huo, he is waiting over at the men’s seats. I came to tell you that after it’s over, I will come look for you."

Xie Yining nodded obediently.

Separated by a distance, naturally, Shen Hua didn’t hear clearly what the two said.

The girl’s gaze moved inch by inch onto the man.

He was a man whose appearance was not inferior to Cui Yun’s. She was about to take a closer look when a voice came from beside her.

"Miss Shen, the banquet is ready, we can now take our seats."

Yingwu’s voice shifted Shen Hua’s attention.

She nodded slightly and followed Yingwu’s lead.

There was some distance from here to the courtyard of the banquet seats; men and women were seated separately, each in their own courtyard.

By chance, she saw someone rushing toward her direction.

"Shen Hua!"

Shen Hua looked over and asked lazily.

"What, have you finished observing?"

Wei Yingying spoke in a hushed tone, grabbing Shen Hua’s arm tightly, "I was looking for you. Sister Yan’s menstruation has come at an inopportune time; she’s in no state to meet people right now. Although she has a change of clothes, she didn’t prepare a menstruation pad. Do you have one with you?"

Such matters should actually be sought by a servant, but due to the pushing and shoving in the crowd earlier, they had been separated long ago.

That’s fine.

The maids beside Yan Mi were truly annoying. Sent by the Governor’s wife, they forced them to be careful with their words. It was really inconvenient.

A noble lady always carries an extra set of clothes in her carriage for emergency needs.

Yan Mi did bring some, but this time her menstruation came several days early.

Shen Hua replied, "Regrettably, I don’t have one."

Until now! She hadn’t gotten her period!!!

"Where is she?"

"We just came out of the new house, and halfway through, she noticed something was wrong. Such private matters for a young lady are not suitable to seek help from Yongchang Marquis Mansion’s maids. Now that it’s getting dark, I simply asked her to wait there and came to look for you."

As she said this, she mentioned a specific location.

Shen Hua nodded.

"You go ahead and sit at the banquet. I’ll handle the rest."

"Do we need to inform the Governor’s wife? I really don’t want to; her mother is very strict. Just her silent gaze is enough to make one uncomfortable."

Shen Hua: "No need."

"My clothes will fit her. Later, I will take her to the wing room to change."

Wei Yingying felt reassured.

Shen Hua walked towards the direction she had been pointed to.

Meanwhile.

"Brother?"

Xie Yining saw Xie Xun, who was supposed to leave, suddenly stop in his tracks, turn around and look steadily to the right front, and she followed his gaze.

Only a corner of the girl who had left was visible, disappearing quickly.

Xie Xun retracted his gaze.

The mention of Shen Hua just now had indeed caught his attention.

————

Night encroached.

The guests had all taken their seats, making the path suddenly much quieter.

Following the winding corridor lit every ten steps by red lanterns, and then across a pond’s arched bridge.

The deeper they ventured, the fewer the servants there were.

Yan Mi dared not move, the stickiness beneath her legs halted her steps.

Biting her lower lip, she waited, but as she glanced up at the completely darkened sky, anxiety and unease inevitably set in.

Then, at that moment, Shen Hua came to her.

Ah, the much more reliable Shen Hua compared to Wei Yingying by a hundredfold.

After finding her, Shen Hua instructed Yingwu: "The cousin-in-law should have some, she looked pale yesterday, kept holding her lower abdomen and even drank sugar water, go ask her maid for a new set."

"Yes."

Yingwu’s figure quickly vanished.

Yan Mi’s face flushed with shame, just as she let out a sigh of relief, she heard Shen Hua sincerely say.

"I really envy you."

Yan Mi: ...?

Shen Hua touched her hand, which felt exceptionally cool.

"Let’s go change in my room. It’s not too far from here."

Yan Mi nodded: "Lucky you were here."

"And Yingying?"

"Ah, I told her to go have dinner. She’s a bit clumsy."

Yan Mi chuckled lightly.

Walking a few steps, she could feel a warm flow surging beneath her, thankful that it was a winter night, clad in multiple layers. Had it been the scorching summer heat, her silk gown might have already been stained with blood. It was indeed inconvenient to move around.

Shen Hua brought Yan Mi back to the side chamber, where Yingwu had already prepared everything.

Changed clothes, clean cotton fabrics, and the fetched menstruation pads. They even remembered to bring several basins of hot water.

Yan Mi went to the washroom to change.

The clothes of Shen Hua happened to fit her well.

After she had cleaned up properly, apart from a slight dragging pain in her lower abdomen, she felt no other discomfort. Instead, there was a sense of being reborn after a calamity.

She breathed out softly.

Shen Hua looked melancholically at the well-endowed Yan Mi, and then even more sullenly at her own flat chest.

When ready to leave, both of them walked outside.

Yingwu was already a good distance away, gnawing on a chicken leg.

Just as they passed a rockery, they heard rustling noises coming from a nearby lawn.

"Don’t do it here."

It was the coquettish resistance of a girl.

"What are you pretending for? Hurry up, take it off yourself, there’s no one here."

"But I’m cold."

"You’ll warm up in a bit."

Shen Hua: ...

She was momentarily bewildered but quickly realized what was happening.

Though Shen Hua was unsure about the details of male-female relations, she vaguely understood what was occurring in front of her.

"It’s not good to stumble upon such things."

"Let’s take a different path then."

Despite her calm demeanor, Yan Mi’s ears turned red as she spoke softly.

No wonder she felt this way. For an unmarried girl to come across such an indecent scene, she should protect her own reputation and leave notwithstanding not knowing who it was.

Shen Hua nodded her head.

She frowned with disgust.

After all, she shouldn’t cause trouble during Eldest Young Master Xuan’s wedding.

The two of them turned and took a detour.

Then, from behind them, a girlish voice suddenly exclaimed.

"Mr. Meng, if you want to marry Miss Shen who currently resides in the mansion, you can’t forget the old in favor of the new."

Shen Hua: ???

What the heck.
