What Huo Qing didn't see was that on a street adjacent to the backstreet of this inn, Jiao Huaiqing, who was walking outside, met Li Chengmao, who was also walking outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two greeted each other amicably, inevitably asking each other where they came from and where they were going.

Jiao Huaiqing said: "I'll go around casually, I'm going back to the Hou Mansion." ”

"Big brother is not at home, I really feel bored, and I am planning to go to the Yongxu Opera Troupe to listen to the play." Li Chengmao said.

"But this is not the closest way to the Yongxu Opera Troupe, how can my cousin give up the near and far?" Jiao Huaiqing asked.

Li Chengmao smiled gently, "I asked a friend to go to the theater together." But he didn't explain much what kind of friend he was, in order to prevent Jiao Huaiqing from pestering him, he said: "I'm leaving, presumably my friend has been waiting for a long time." ”

After he left, Jiao Huaiqing couldn't help but think: What kind of friend is it, why don't you just go to the Yongxu opera troupe to meet, and you have to ask your cousin to greet him? Isn't this friend, a beautiful woman?

Thinking of this, he raised the corner of his lips in no surprise, and finally strode away without caring about himself.

Two hours later, Li Chengqi and Shen Yan returned to Ning'an City in a carriage.

Due to the unmanned carriage after Huo Qing left, Li Chengqi had to go into battle in person. After returning to the city, the people in the city were amazed when they saw that the noble man was driving by himself.

In the car, Shen Yan said: "Go to the alley in front and let me get out of the car." ”

Li Chengqi didn't follow, "I don't want to bother your father, I'm afraid you will have to stay with me in the Hou Mansion for a few days." ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Yan was inevitably frightened. She was also afraid that her coming back this time would bring unnecessary trouble to the Shen family. She thought for a while and asked Li Chengqi: "Then when can I go home?" ”

"I'll talk about it when the prince comes."

"When will the prince come? Are you sure he'll come? Shen Yan asked again.

Li Chengqi didn't reply, suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, stared at a certain point in the crowd and refused to wander his gaze. Shen Yan felt strange, and lifted the corner of the curtain to ask him how to stop abruptly, but seeing his expression, she followed the direction of his gaze.

There, there was a noodle stall on the side, and a little beggar in tattered clothes, with a dirty face, messy hair, and a short girl's stature, was begging from the shop. After the shopkeeper chased him away for a while, he suddenly took out a bit of broken silver, and shook it in front of the shopkeeper very proudly, "Lao Tzu is rich!" ”

Seeing that he had silver, the shopkeeper suddenly changed his smile and invited him to sit down and asked him what noodles he wanted to eat.

At that time, the little beggar was disdainful, "Lao Tzu won't eat it!" Lao Tzu went to eat at another house! Hum. Then he departed.

"Whew! Those who stink for food may not know where to steal the silver! The shopkeeper whispered a few insults. Unintentionally, his hand reached into his pocket, and his face immediately changed, and he quickly shouted, "It's Lao Tzu's money that stolen!" Stinky ......" He raised his eyes again, and the little beggar was gone.

However, the figure of the little beggar was still within Shen Yan's line of sight. And just when he was about to go away, Li Chengqi suddenly recited a sentence of "Yingge" and jumped out of the car and chased after him. Shen Yan was inexplicable, and saw him chase him out for a long distance, but he couldn't see the figure of the little beggar.

Shen Yan didn't know how to drive, so after thinking about it, she went back to the carriage and sat down, just waiting for Li Chengqi to come back. That's when the unexpected happened. A group of children gathered around when they saw a large family's carriage parked on the street, but it was unattended. Shen Yan was about to open the curtain and blow them away, but the children threw stones at the horses, and finally startled the horses. The horse bounced and then dragged the wagon away. The pedestrians on the road were frightened and dodged, and the more people were frightened, the more crazy the horse became, and Shen Yan was in the car, swaying so much that she could barely stabilize her body.

The little beggar was gone, and Li Chengqi was annoyed, but the chaotic sound of the street behind him came to his ears. He turned around, saw that it was his own car, and hurriedly chased after him.

Shen Yan finally stood firm in the car. Hearing the frightened shouts and some cries outside, she thought badly, maybe the carriage had hit someone and injured someone. If this continued, she was afraid that the situation would be more difficult to control, so she climbed to the front of the car and reached out to rein the reins. However, how can she be allowed to control the loose horse? She grabbed the reins with great effort, but the force of the reins cut her palm.

She was in pain, but she didn't let go. Because she clearly saw that there was a teenage girl standing three feet away in front of her. The little girl was frightened when she saw the horses rushing towards her.

"Get out of the way—" Shen Yan shouted urgently.

Just as the carriage was about to approach the little girl, a white figure appeared on the side of the road and took the little girl away.

Shen Yan's heart jumped to her throat, and she almost fainted. To her surprise, the white figure who saved the little girl was none other than Bai Zhong. She hurriedly shouted, "Brother Bai Zhong, help me!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage shook. Then, Li Chengqi flew up and sat next to her. He took the reins from her hand, and in a few moments he steadied the horse.

Shen Yan touched her chest with one hand, calmed the panic in her heart, and scolded Li Chengqi: "You left without permission, and you almost caused a big disaster!" ”

"I'll see." Seeing that her other hand was bleeding, Li Chengqi hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief and wrapped it twice for her.

He frowned slightly, although his face was cold, there was a look of guilt in his eyes. The movements of his hands were so gentle, for a while, Shen Yan lost his mind because of this.

Not far from the carriage, Bai Zhong saw this picture, turned his back in annoyance, and walked away angrily.

Li Chengqi didn't say sorry to Shen Yan, he just asked her to go back to the car and sit down, and then rushed back to the Hou Mansion.

"Who is Yingge?" Shen Yan asked in the car. didn't listen to Li Chengqi's reply, she asked again: "Is it the little beggar of Shicai?" ”

"She's dead." Li Chengqi spoke silently.

Shen Yan pursed her lips and asked again, "Does that little beggar look like her?" ”

"It's none of your business." It seems that Li Chengqi is in a bad mood.

As soon as he said this, Shen Yan immediately lost her temper, "Why has nothing to do with me?" If you had not run after the beggar, would the horse be frightened, and my hand would have bled out? Originally, she had decided not to bother with him when he was bandaging himself and was ashamed in his eyes, but she only asked a few superfluous words, and she was really uncomfortable with his attitude.

Fortunately, in the face of her accusations, Li Chengqi did not refute and avoided a battle of words. Soon, they returned to the Ning'an Hou Mansion.

Up and down the Hou Mansion of Ning'an, it was incredible for Shen Yan and Hou Ning'an to return to the Hou Mansion together. In fact, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, Jiao Shi, and the cousin Miss Jiao Huaiyu, how could they let Shen Yan stay in the Hou Mansion? Before Shen Yan was brought back to his courtyard by Li Chengqi, he was stopped by Jiao and Jiao Huaiyu.
