The proud female officer🌳x the gloomy and inferior eunuch🦥️
Su Yingchun knew that he was not lovable.
She was Gong Zhengsi's iron-faced devil. Everyone said that when she tried a case, she refused to recognize her relatives. Her words were so tough that people just wanted to retreat. She cared about individuals as if she was giving orders. When she wanted to praise someone, her words turned into "don't be proud."
Others took a detour when they saw her, but she didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, she just didn't know how to speak softly, and she didn't intend to learn it.
Logically speaking, a person like her should be alone for the rest of her life.
She really didn't take it seriously at first, the little eunuch named Li Puci.
When he came to deliver the files, he was stooped and had a faint medicinal smell. Others thought he was unlucky and said he was a defective product that hadn't even been marinated.
She didn't feel bad.
She just couldn't figure out how this person could be so tolerant. His colleagues kept silent when being bullied, and his head was covered in cold sweat due to the pain of an old injury. He still gritted his teeth and knelt there to sort out the file for her without saying a word.
She couldn't stand it anymore, so she threw him a tangerine and said, "Don't die in my duty room."
He was framed, and she came forward to testify, saying that "Gong Zhengsi's people don't have the right to comment."
Every time she helped him, she had to go through eighteen twists and turns, using the toughest words and doing the softest things.
He actually kept all of this in mind. Su Yingchun helped him once, so he used his day off to come to Gong Zhengsi to sort out her old files, and used the quarter of an hour before pressing the key to walk outside her room.
She saw all this in her eyes, but never exposed it. She only extended the deadline in the official letter for three days when she adjusted the schedule again. She said that "I can wait", but in fact she heard that he couldn't sleep well due to his old injury and wanted him to have a good rest.
She also asked the maid to deliver the soothing soup. Before sending the soothing soup, she warned: "Just say it was cooked by the pharmacy department. If you dare to mention me even a word, you can handle it yourself."
She thought he would never know these things.
Until that night when it rained heavily and she was suspended, he knelt at the door of her check-in room, holding a stack of account books, soaked all over. He said that the accounts in the imperial concubine's palace did not match the ones used to impeach her.
She was stunned and asked him why he did all this for his official.
He said: "This slave just wants to protect you from the wind."
At that moment, she suddenly understood that everyone was afraid of her, respected her, and avoided her. Only this person, in the most humble manner, regarded her as a god.
But she doesn't want his look up to her, her "wind protection", and she doesn't want him to risk his life at every turn. She wants him to live, talk to her, help her organize files, understand the meaning behind every harsh word she says, and accompany her to relieve her boredom.
Su Yingchun wanted to say this, but she couldn't say it. She would never learn to be gentle in her life.
But it doesn't matter, she can spend her whole life telling him with actions that it was she, Su Yingchun, who wanted him first.
On that rainy night, she stood in front of him holding an umbrella, and her voice was even calmer than during the trial: "Li Puci, I have no shortage of people to protect me from the wind."
"I only need a counterpart."
He was kneeling there, shaking all over. She didn't wait for his answer, but just tilted the umbrella towards him, covering all his wet places.
If the world insists on making things difficult for them, then she, Su Yingchun, is willing to shield him from the storm for the rest of his life.
She is a tree, and he is the only shadow under her tree. No one can touch it.
