Second Master Shen was stunned for a moment, what he wanted to say was obviously one thing, how could he be said by Zhaoyan into two things?

"The second uncle came here for a special trip for this little thing, is he worried that Zhao Yan can't even handle this little family matter?" Shen Zhao said lukewarmly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Second Master Shen showed a hint of embarrassment, and said with a reluctant smile: "Naturally not, you usually have a lot of things to do outside, and the big housekeeper has been withdrawn again, I am afraid that Mingde has just started alone, and he can't take care of it left and right, and it will mess up the peace in the house." ”

"The second uncle is too worried, he can't take care of this bit of family affairs, how will Zhaoyan get married and have children in the future, and raise children?"

"You've grown up. Your ability is obvious to all in the Shen family, but no matter how powerful a person is, he must have a helper, so let's let Qingyan ......" Second Master Shen said.

Shen Zhaoyan didn't give him a chance, and immediately refused: "Zhaoyan hasn't married a wife yet, and there are not so many things to take care of at home, my cousin was entrusted by my father before his death, and I promised him, unless he left voluntarily, the Shen family will always have a place for him." At that time, the second uncle was also present and listening, so he didn't want to embarrass Zhaoyan. ”

This was already very obvious, and Second Master Shen didn't want to say anything more, pouting, his face was ugly.

The uncle and nephew fell into a stiff atmosphere. At this time, Mingde shrewdly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, I'm still waiting for a reply over there!" ”

In the past, when he was tired of socializing outside, he would ask Mingde to cooperate with him to get out. Therefore, Shen Zhaoyan deliberately reprimanded: "Didn't you see the second uncle here?" Let Boss Zhou wait. ”

"Since you have something, let's go and get busy! I'm going out too. Second Master Shen said immediately.

Shen Zhaoyan didn't hold back too much, and after a few polite words, he watched him leave. After Shen Erye left, Shen Zhaoyan immediately ordered Mingde to notify him, not to spread any things about the house, and not to leak out the affairs of Chunqiao and Liyue.

"Do you want to arrest Liyue's sister?" Mingde asked: "She is still in the pulp washing room, and the little notice has been carefully watched by Mama Zhang, just waiting for the summons of the eldest young master!" ”

Shen Zhaoyan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Don't make a noise, quietly bring her to the study." ”

"Yes."

When Mingyue was taken to the study, she trembled all over, her body was curled up and kneeling there, her head buried deeply, her eyes staring straight at the ground, not daring to look around.

"How much do you know about your sister?" Shen Zhaoyan asked with a cold face.

Mingyue moved her throat, her eyes filled with fear. Although she was afraid, she still mustered up the courage to say: "Although my sister is a little wild, she will never do anything rebellious, she, she is just used to staying in the countryside and is not suitable for the rules of the house, young master, you will spare my sister!" It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, they are careless and burn the kitchen, so that the sister wants to sell herself as a slave and pay off the debts for the slave and maid, all of this is the fault of the slave and the maid, the eldest young master will punish the slave and the maid, spare the sister! ”

At the end, her tears were dripping down.

The room was extremely quiet, only Shen Zhaoyan and Mingyue. Shen Zhaoyan didn't speak for a long time, and only Mingyue's deliberately suppressed sobs could be heard in the quiet room.

After a long time, Shen Zhaoyan's voice sounded softly: "I also want to spare her." But she was gone. ”

Mingyue choked in her throat and raised her head to look at Shen Zhaoyan in surprise. She only heard that the eldest sister was imprisoned in the firewood room again, but she didn't know what it was, she just trusted her unconditionally with the affection between the sisters: "No, she won't leave the slave alone, she will never do this!" ”

"Why do you trust her so much?" Shen Zhaoyan looked at her complicatedly and asked.

Mingyue was stunned by the question.

Why? She never thought about why, she just believed.

"If I don't believe her, won't she be disappointed?" Shen Zhaoyan lowered his eyes and muttered. On the day Zhong Liyue was arrested, she said to him in disappointment: It turns out that you have always doubted me? I thought we were already friends.

Friend?

Those pictures facing each other day and night are vivid.

The rich expression on her face, whether happy or angry, the beautiful stories she told, the reading of books in the middle of the night, no matter how majestic the wind and rain outside, the room was quiet and peaceful, and even the dim candlelight beside her, there was a touch of warmth. In the days after he left the last regular meeting, he was far away, but he was always anxious to finish his work and go back quickly. He ignored the purpose of his eagerness to return, and it was not until she disappeared that he really felt that even those silent companionships had become his attachment to this home.

Shen Zhaoyan stared at the place where Zhong Liyue sat every night, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze, his stretched brows twisted again, he looked at Mingyue, and ordered: "Go and call Zhixia and the three of them." ”

Mingyue didn't seem to hear it, kneeling there and not moving.

Shen Zhaoyan frowned and asked unhappily, "You can't move because your legs are numb?" ”

Mingyue reacted and hurriedly shook her head.

"Why don't you go soon?"

Mingyue nodded dumbfoundedly and hurriedly got up from the ground. When she got to the outside of the study, she was sure that the eldest young master really didn't punish her, and he didn't get angry. The eldest sister ran away, why did he look disappointed instead of angry?

Mingde went to deal with things, not in the bamboo garden, Mingyue went around the yard in a big circle to find the backyard. After the three of them called the study, Shen Zhaoyan suddenly remembered that he didn't know her name, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

Mingyue was stunned again, and replied tremblingly: "Back to the eldest young master, the name of the slave is 'Mingyue'." ”

The sixth master once checked that the names of several children of the Zhong family were all given by Zhong Liyue later. A woman from a peasant family has an elegant name, how can she not make people suspicious? remembered that when Li Yue first entered the bamboo garden, he wanted to give her another name, but was rejected by one mouthful. So how can an assertive woman stand within this high wall with peace of mind and live a life of compromise?

He should give her a moderate amount of freedom, and a little trust.

A burst of guilt welled up in his heart, and he silently decided in his heart that as long as he found Zhong Liyue, he would make up for her.

"In the future, Mingyue will be a person from Zhuyuan, you should train well. Regarding her sister Liyue, you are not allowed to talk about it behind your back! You supervise each other, and if anyone hears gossip about Liyue, tell me at once, and I will be rewarded. ”

Zhixia's lowered eyes moved, and they couldn't understand why the eldest young master didn't let Mingyue bear joint responsibility, but instead referred her to Zhuyuan?! Didn't Chun Qiao and Li Yue both abscond in fear of crime?

Not only them, but even Mingyue herself couldn't figure it out. The eldest sister ran away, the eldest young master should be furious and send her to the government for disposal, why did he promote her instead?

Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask Shen Zhaoyan. It was impossible for Shen Zhaoyan to tell them that he was already anxious about Liyue's affairs, and not only had to try to hide it, but also sent people to look around.

He even prayed in his heart that Zhong Liyue could sense his eagerness and apologies and come back quickly.

"Ahh There was an itch in her nose, Zhong Liyue couldn't help but sneeze, and the person gradually came to her senses.

This halo seems to be as long as a century.
