17. Retaliation

Shen Ping tried his best to persuade Fan Wenzheng, and when he went out to see Shen Yan's face towel, he was really taken aback, and after careful questioning, he realized that she only scratched her face and was not in the way.

His beloved daughter was injured, and Shen Ping was naturally in no mood to go to the banquet again, but fortunately, the focus of the local officials' banquet was Xue Wanrong and the two accompanying officials, so Shen Ping just pushed the dinner party and took Shen Yu back to the inn.

Of course, Xu Yan was too lazy to deal with these petty officials, and besides, he had other things to do, so he hurriedly left after handing Shen Yu over to Shen Ping. The remaining Qin Yue is Qin Xiong's son, although the local officials have the heart to make friends, but Qin Yu, the son, is not in a good mood, so he does not force it, but Xue Ning has earned enough face and has been arranged to be served by a special person, which is very appropriate.

When they returned to the inn, Qin Yu rode a horse, while Shen Ping's father and daughter rode in a carriage.

Shen Yu rested in the Fan family's garden for a long time and then went to the study building to take a turn, and her cheeks didn't hurt so much at this time, plus Xu Yan promised her to teach Xue Ning a lesson, she was in a better mood, and she sat in the carriage and talked to her father about today's harvest in the Fan family's study building, gushing endlessly. However, Shen Ping couldn't bear it, and interrupted Shen Yan's words several times and asked her how she was injured.

Shen Yu didn't want her father to worry, so she said that she was accidentally scratched by the Fan family's cat when she was visiting the garden. This rhetoric was discussed by her and Xu Yan a long time ago, Shen Ping did not doubt him, and after going back, he made a special trip to ask Lang Zhong to take a look, and was very distressed when he saw the scratch that was not short, and specially went to buy some food that Shen Yan liked for her, and told her to rest early when she ran out.

This trip was not for sightseeing, Shen Ping had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and after appeasing his beloved daughter, he went back to the house to meditate on the lamp.

This Shen Yu was just about to rest, when she heard someone knocking on the door, but it was Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was obviously in a very bad mood, and he didn't even eat dinner seriously, so it was easy to wait for Shen Yu to place an order, and then came to find her.

Previously, when King Duan was present in the Fan family, and later there was Shen Ping in the carriage, Qin Yu couldn't say a lot of things in his stomach, and there was no one else except Shi Nan at this time, so he had no scruples, called Shen Yu to sit in the pavilion at the back of the inn, and asked, "Is the wound on his face really not strict?" ”

"It's not a big deal, just raise it for seven or eight days." Shen Yu slowly ate the fresh cherries, and the smooth and sweet juice meat entered her stomach, which made people feel good. She temporarily took off the face towel at this time, and wrapped a piece of white gauze under her cheek, which looked a little funny and cute.

Qin Yu had never seen her wounds, and seeing that Shen Yu looked relaxed and unconcerned, he didn't ask about this anymore, and instead said, "Although I haven't found any evidence of the origin of that gray sable, I ...... it."

"It's Xue Ning's hands and feet." Shen Yan interrupted him, and even pulled out a smile when she looked up, "I already knew." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Who else could it be but her?" Shen Yu sneered coldly, "Brother Yizhi probably doesn't know the rules in this library, those books are the most unbearable, ordinary even a mouse has to be extremely cautious to guard against it, how can a good person allow a gray sable to be presumptuous inside?" Mr. Fan is a book collector, so many rare books are placed in it, and it is too late to try his best to protect them, and it is impossible to have such negligence. That gray sable must have been deliberately brought in. ”

She still chewed the cherry slowly, but her voice was much colder, "There are only four of us who go in, although the gray sable is small, if you want to hide it so that no one can find out, you naturally have to wear some slightly loose clothes, who else can it be besides Xue Ning?" ”

- If it weren't for the incident in Zheng Xun's library before, Shen Yu might still be able to hesitate, but after experiencing the same method twice, she was convinced of this judgment.

Qin Yu couldn't help but clench the teacup and said coldly: "She actually didn't admit it!" ”

"Of course she won't admit it!" Shen Yu sneered, "Anyway, we can't find any evidence, why should she admit it herself." ”

"At a young age, it's really evil!" Qin Yu's face turned cold, and he couldn't help but snort.

Shen Yu looked at that look, a little suspicious in her heart, and said tentatively: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, Brother Yi knows Xue Ning's personality, there is no need to delve into it." ”

"How's that going to work! has caused trouble again and again, and now she dares to use the sable to harm others, how can she continue to do this. Auntie, with Xue Wanrong here, it's not easy for you to make a move, just leave this matter to me. ”

That's what Shen Yu was afraid of. Although Qin Yu is more calm than ordinary people and can deal with things without being surprised, but in the end, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, if it is a serious matter, he will naturally think twice, but Xue Ning is just an ordinary girl in her eyes, and she will not worry at all under righteous indignation, who knows what he will plan?

As soon as Shen Yan brought a cherry to her mouth, she paused and said seriously: "Brother Yizhi, this matter cannot be investigated. Even if you want to pursue it, you should wait for the limelight to pass for a while. ”

Qin Yu was a little surprised, and said, "What are you waiting for?" If you don't take precautions, Xue Ning is here with Lord Xue, who knows what else will happen! It's better to beat it as soon as possible, so as to teach her to be honest and honest, so as not to get into trouble again. ”

"So Brother Yizhi has ever thought about why Xue Ning caused trouble? Although I have always been at odds with her, it is just a bickering, when will it be like this? Shen Yu was upright and said, "Xue Ning's father and daughter's thoughts, Brother Yi won't know it, right?" Seeing Qin Yue's complexion change slightly, Shen Yu knew that he was not unaware, so he didn't say anything, but said: "The more Brother Yi defends me, the more angry Xue Ning will be. If she really provokes her, it won't be a good thing for me. ”

Qin Yue was obviously stunned.

Shen Yan's meaning is very clear, it means that Xue Ning likes him, I am afraid that Xue Wanrong also has the intention of sending his daughter to the Qin Mansion, the more he is good to Shen Yan now, the more Xue Ning will hate him out of jealousy and use extreme means. With his limited understanding of Xue Ning's girl...... It's really possible for her to do that.

Thinking about it this way, if he went to warn Xue Ning now, the effect might be counterproductive.

Qin Yu couldn't help but look up at Shen Yu, who was still delicate and beautiful, and was not affected by the gauze that was wrapped in wounds. Her eyes were clear and her expression was calm, although what she said involved the love of men and women, her eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. She knew his affection, but she could analyze it so calmly and rationally......

Qin Yu only felt suffocated in his heart, and looked at Shen Yu for a long time before saying, "Since this is the case, this matter will be put back." ”

Shen Yu was inexplicably seen by him, and she was relieved to hear that he promised not to pursue it immediately. Anyway, His Royal Highness King Duan is here, and this face-slashing feud can be reported immediately, as for Qin Yu here, as long as he doesn't provoke Xue Ning to jump off the wall now, even if he will choose the opportunity to teach a lesson in the future, it will be Xue Ning's own fault, and Shen Yu is happy to watch the excitement.

Although Shen Yan had injuries on her face this night, she slept very sweetly, and even the commotion next door for most of the day when Xue Ning came back failed to affect her sleep.

When she went out early the next morning, Shen Yu was refreshed, and when Xue Ning came out of the house, she saw that she was also covered with a face toil, and her eyes were so gloomy that they could drip water!

Shen Yu pretended not to know, and when she saw Xue Ning, she was surprised and said, "Hey, why is Miss Xue also wearing a face towel?" ”

Xue Ning glanced at her and didn't answer, turned around and left with the maid. Shi Nan next to him heard about the truth of the matter last night, and thought that she would sue Shen Yu early this morning, but she didn't bother when she saw that Shen Yu had been thinking about things all the time, and when she saw Shen Yu mention it, she hurriedly came up and said in a low voice: "When Miss Xue came back last night, she happened to meet someone fighting on the road, and she was injured by mistake." ”

"So unfortunate?" Shen Yu sighed a little regretfully, "Who is so short-sighted, even the daughter of the University of Science and Politics dares to hurt." ”

"I heard that there were a few drunks, and they all had some fists and feet on their bodies, and they fought without saying a word on the road, and just when Miss Xue's carriage passed by, a drunk man was kicked into the carriage, and he accidentally made a long cut on Miss Xue's face." Shi Nan didn't know what happened in the Fan family's library yesterday, and he gloated a little pity, and said: "Lord Xue was on the spot when the incident happened, and I heard that he immediately ordered those drunks to be thrown into prison, and their lives and deaths are uncertain." ”

"It's really a disaster." Shen Yu sighed, and there was no joy in her heart.

This result made Shen Yan very satisfied, and when she saw Xu Yan, she was a little more serious.

Xu Yan only smiled at this, with a cold face as usual, and even reprimanded Xue Wanrong for the slow progress of visiting the bibliophile in the past two days.

Xu Yan didn't go when he visited the bibliophile in the next two days, he seemed to have other things on his body, he went out early and returned late uncertainly, and even once did not return all night, which surprised everyone.

However, no one dared to ask about the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Duan, Shen Ping visited the collector as usual, and occasionally took the time to ask Shen Yu for a while at night, Shen Yu said about the recent harvest, and discussed with Shen Ping the various methods of collecting books that he had seen recently, and the benefits were not small.

Although the injury on her face was not light, Xu Yan got a bottle of plaster for her out of nowhere, and after carefully wiping it in the past two days, the wound healed extremely quickly, and now there is only a very fine pink scar left, and it is said that if you apply the plaster for two days, you can leave no scar at all. Shen Yu was so happy that she no longer wore a face towel after returning to the inn.

After the father and daughter finished speaking that night, Shen Ping looked at the thin scar on her cheek and said, "Auntie, this wound is not like a cat's claw scratch. ”

Shen Yu didn't expect him to suddenly mention this stubble, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Daddy still has such ability, can you see the reason by the wound?" ”

"Of course I don't have the skills." Shen Ping looked at his daughter with a straight face, and didn't allow her to joke and interrupt, "I overheard the girl of the Xue family talking to someone today, why did she say that you were injured in the Fan family's study, or were you scratched by a mink?" ”

Shen Yu was stunned when she heard this, she talked to Xu Yan and Qin Yu that day, but she ignored Xue Ning.

I thought that she didn't dare to publicize it after secretly harming others, but who knew that she still had the courage to spread the word, and unfortunately let Shen Ping listen to it?

Now that Shen Ping has asked, Shen Yu can't hide it anymore, so she told the events of that day as it was, and said: "My daughter is also afraid that her father will worry so she didn't tell the truth, His Royal Highness King Duan can't look past it, and has already taught Xue Ning a lesson, so let's expose this matter?" ”

Shen Ping felt a little surprised by His Royal Highness Duanwang's help, and he couldn't figure out Xue Ning's behavior, "Although you and the girl of the Xue family have different personalities, they haven't come to this point, Auntie-" His eyes sank, "Why did she want to make a move?"
