【Chapter 107】 Sadness
Ever since Shen Youqing came back from the prison, she had been thinking about how to get Shen Yu out of the prison safely.
In fact, she didn't think of a way to do it.
Huo Ying's rhetoric is: It is a matter of the inner palace battle, and it cannot be too public, and it is indeed understandable to consider it from the perspective of him as a courtier; But Shen Youqing and the Lu family were not so cautious in their thoughts, Shen Yu was clearly framed, and the people who ordered the emperor to investigate the case thoroughly only dared to do it quietly.
The people in the Criminal Department who knew about this matter were also familiar with Shen Yu and Huo Ying, but no one had ever spoken for Shen Yu, they were afraid that if one accidentally angered Long Yan, what would happen to them, and they couldn't afford it......
It was Master Zhang of the Criminal Department who thoroughly investigated the case, but Shen Youqing felt very bad.
Shen Ju is a third-grade official, and there are many people who are officials in the court on weekdays who will get together in the palace, and Lord Zhang has naturally been here, Shen Youqing has also seen it once, Shen Ju said that he is an old and cunning person, the grass on the wall, and he talks nonsense when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees people, such a person is good to listen to and say that he knows how to be flexible, and what is not good is to be sleek and shameless.
Can such an official go to investigate Shen Yu's case with a good result......
When the Lu family came to look for Shen Youqing, she was about to go out to find Huo Ying again.
A few days ago, Shen Youlan and Shen Youwei went to the girls' school, and they only came back once in ten days and a half months, and Shen Youfu was busy with marriage again, so there was no way, so the Lu family could only come over to Shen Youqing to talk to relieve boredom.
Shen Yu's affairs have always hung in her heart, and she hasn't slept well for a few days, and her face is a lot haggard.
Shen Youqing was busy pouring tea for the Lu family, and lit a soothing incense.
"What kind of incense is this?"
Because Shen Youqing kept telling her that Shen Yu was fine, and that she would be back soon, the Lu family had some spirits, and now she asked Shen Youqing like this, thinking that her mood had indeed improved.
Shen Youqing replied: "It's a soothing incense, which can relieve my aunt's tension these days." ”
"Oh, I wonder if I can get a good night's sleep tonight after smelling this fragrance......"
Lu's tone was slightly joking.
Shen Youqing sat with Lu for a while, and saw that Lu was sleepy. He helped her back to the plum garden, but she didn't expect Shen Youfu to be there.
The moment she saw Shen Youqing, Shen Youfu's face stiffened a little, and then she immediately greeted her. Holding Lu's arm, his face worried, "Mother, where have you been?" I've been looking for you for a long time. ”
"My mother was just panicking and went to talk to Qing'er for a while. None of you are by your mother's side these days, only Qing'er is at home,......" Lu Shi said, and glanced at Shen Youqing with a smile, "Qing'er is afraid that she will dislike me......"
Lu Shi has always been a gentle woman, and she spoke strictly, almost submissively, but at this time, she looked at Shen Youfu's eyes and tone when she spoke, and there was actually some complaint, Shen Youfu was surprised, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and she didn't reply to Lu's words for a long time.
Shen Youqing smiled and said to the Lu family: "No." Auntie, you are so good, how can I dislike you, if you want to talk to me in the future, just call the girl next to you to call me, I will definitely come over to talk to you. ”
Shen Youqing only understood at this moment why she felt that Shen Youfu was hostile to her, because she also had an estrangement towards Shen Youfu; Shen Youfu's attitude towards the Lu family made Shen Youqing very disgusted, the Lu family did not fight or grab, did not affect the future of the children, and did not disturb them at will. This qiē is not because she doesn't care about them, but purely because it is best for them, but Shen Youfu takes her hard work for granted.
"Okay, as long as you don't bother me."
Shen Youqing and Lu Shi looked at each other and smiled. The harmonious relationship is like a biological mother and daughter, Shen Youfu watched from the side, her face sank, Shen Youqing, even my mother, do you want to occupy it?
"Since the second sister is here, then I'll go back first. Second sister, take good care of your aunt, she hasn't slept well these days......"
Before walking out of the plum garden, Shen Youqing glanced back, and bumped into Shen Youfu's gaze without accident, seeing that she was really in a hurry, Shen Youqing smiled, this is what she wants.
What she said just now was purely to provoke Shen Youfu, but what could be provoked also showed that Shen Youfu still cared about the Lu family.
After all, they are mother and daughter......
"Miss, shall we go to Master Huo's house?"
"You seem excited." Shen Youqing looked at her coldly, and that thought came to her again: It's better to give him to Huo Ying.
Yuxi lowered his head and replied: "Master Huo is a good person, he is handsome, and he is naturally excited to see his slave maid...... Aren't you excited, Miss? ”
So why go there, is it to harvest osmanthus?
Shen Youqing: "......"
Because of the delay in chatting with the Lu family, when Shen Youqing arrived at Huo's mansion, it was already noon.
Yuxi looked at the closed door and asked sadly: "Miss, Master Huo doesn't seem to be at home." ”
"He's at home." Shen Youqing said firmly, she smelled the aroma of the food, Huo Ying, a man like five big and three thick, could actually cook.
I have to say that Shen Youqing was very surprised, there was no subordinate in Huo Mansion, only Huo Ying alone, so the fragrance wafting out now could only be made by him.
Shen Youqing pushed open the door and walked in, Yuxi was a little squirming at first: enter a handsome guy's house like this...... Not so good.
It can be seen that Shen Youqing went in so naturally, so he left all his reserve behind and sneakily followed......
Along the path covered with osmanthus flowers, I found the backyard, which was a fence yard, like a small farm yard, which was really inconsistent with Huo Ying's temperament.
"Miss, you said that Master Huo is so slow and upright, a fourth-grade official, why does he live in such a ...... place?"
Yuxi frowned, as if she felt aggrieved for her idol.
Shen Youqing was about to ask, who could tell her why Huo Ying had such a beautiful fence courtyard.
"Master Huo, are you at home?"
"Huo Ying?"
Shen Youqing shouted into the kitchen, she didn't hear a response for a long time, and her footsteps had already walked out of the row of osmanthus trees, without the shade of the trees, the entire backyard was in full view, and she was stunned for a moment......
"Miss, are you in trouble?"
“……”
Shen Youqing didn't know what to do, whether to run away or go up.
She never imagined that there would be a guest in Huo Ying's house, and she would never have dreamed of who this guest was.
Huo Ying held the plate in his hand. And under the largest osmanthus tree, there were already three dishes on a table, a wine jug and two wine glasses; At this time, Huo Yingzheng looked at Shen Youqing with a puzzled expression, and he smiled to show comfort. He could imagine Shen Youqing's mood at the moment.
"Fourth Miss, come and sit."
Shen Youqing came back to her senses abruptly, looking at Xiao Yan's smile, her feet seemed to have taken root, and she couldn't take a step.
How could Xiao Yan be in Huo Ying's house, and the table was full of appetizers. Are they talking about life?
"Yuxi, what do you think of this situation?"
Yuxi, who was suddenly named, also blinked blankly, two handsome guys, drinking and chatting in a picturesque place, then drunk and slightly drunk, and then ......
Shen Youqing's cheeks flushed when she looked at Yuxi, but she never dared to think about what Yuxi thought.
At this time, Yuxi was probably already thinking of Cheng Dù, who she couldn't think of......
Just as she was taking the first step with difficulty, Yuxi suddenly grabbed her, lowered her voice and said in her ear, "Miss." Don't go, we found out the love between the two of them, one of them is the prince, the other is a four-grade master, will kill us, a lot of words are written in the book, love can't, can only establish an underground relationship, the moment someone is discovered, someone will die! ”
Shen Youqing: "Yuxi, don't read those words in the future......
What she didn't say was. Yuxi's original voice was very loud, but he deliberately lowered it just now, and his voice was indeed a little smaller, but for Huo Ying, who had extraordinary hearing. It was just like saying it to him on purpose.
Huo Ying's face turned the color of pig liver, and after looking around Xiao Yan's face a few times, he was looking at Shen Youqing's master and servant, extremely embarrassed, and finally had an idea that matched Shen Youqing: sell the jade tree.
Shen Youqing suddenly realized that if she still wanted to be a simple and well-behaved good child. You have to do your best to sell it.
"Miss, you have such an idea, just think about it in your heart, why do you have to say it?"
Yuxi looked at Shen Youqing bitterly and complained.
Shen Youqing immediately became vigilant, she actually said it? If Yuxi knew, she would definitely be on guard, and she would definitely run away when the time came, so she wouldn't be able to sell for a good price......
In the end, Xiao Yan beckoned Shen Youqing to go over, and Shen Youqing moved over slowly.
Huo Ying put down the plate in his hand, Shen Youqing saw that it was a plate of peanuts, and she and Yuxi also looked at Xiao Yan almost at the same time, he was a dignified and honorable prince, Huo Ying only used a plate of peanuts to send him away?
Anyway, I should have two plates!
Where did the smell of the food come from?
Shen Youqing shook her head, she didn't come to eat today, she couldn't go off-topic......
"Why did the fourth lady come to the cold house?" Huo Ying was really an anxious person, and Shen Youqing hadn't fully digested why Xiao Yan appeared here, so he had already asked her why she came here.
"Lord Wang, why did you come here?" Shen Youqing blurted out such a question, and she was so quick that she couldn't guard against it.
"Could it be that if the fourth lady can come, this king can't come?"
Shen Youqing was stunned, if she heard correctly, Xiao Yan's tone didn't seem to be so good, and she felt a little sour......
However, he is a prince, so he naturally has a temper, and if she provokes him now, I don't know if he will forgive her for the sake of marrying her; With such thoughts, Shen Youqing is really strange, how could she think like this, even the prince can't get angry at every turn.
Just when Shen Youqing was secretly annoyed, Xiao Yan threw out another question-
"How did Miss Fourth think about it?"
"Poof—"
Shen Youqing just drank all the tea in his mouth and sprayed out, but fortunately it was not sprayed on Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan looked at the plate of peanuts, Shen Youqing followed his gaze and glanced at it, the peanuts were wet one by one, she felt a little sorry, she hadn't eaten it yet......
"What is the agreement between the fourth lady and the prince?" Huo Ying seemed to be asking Shen Youqing, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled lightly, but did not answer his question.
Huo Ying's expression was a little helpless.
Looking at between them, Shen Youqing frowned, it sounded like Huo Ying was not afraid of Xiao Yan, and their relationship seemed to be closer than she imagined......
Shen Youqing looked at Yuxi and couldn't help but want her to analyze it.
Huo Ying asked again: "Fourth Miss, if you have something to say, this official is very busy!" ”
Shen Youqing's eyes turned between the two of them, it looked like she should be very busy, busy talking about love?
She seems to have been completely abducted by Yuxi to where she shouldn't be.
"Master Huo, I still want to ask about the second brother......" Shen Youqing glanced at Xiao Yan and suddenly turned, "Does the prince know about that incident?" ”
She had never thought of seeking Xiao Yan's help before she came here, but when she saw him at this time, she suddenly figured out that Xiao Yan was the prince, and if he could say a word, it might be much easier.
Although there is a suspicion of using him, thinking of the haze of the Shen family these days, and the gloomy and clammy prison, there is no shame or anything......
Huo Ying clasped the table and said coldly: "The prince can't control the case of the Criminal Department. ”
"Then what is Lord Huo's opinion?"
Shen Youqing was like grass on the wall, as soon as the breeze blew, she turned to Huo Ying.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his mouth, and the soft voice flowed into Shen Youqing's heart like flowing water in a stream, as if with a spell, so that Shen Youqing consciously leaned over before he heard him speak.
The moment Shen Youqing lost his mind, Xiao Yan glared at Huo Ying and said, "Huo Ying, can a fourth-grade petty official manage the affairs of the inner palace?" ”
Shen Youqing couldn't help but admire Xiao Yan's domineering tone, how many people relied on the fourth-grade official, when he came to Xiao Yan, it seemed like a nine-grade sesame official......
Huo Ying was choked, this is also what he is troubled these days, Shen Yu is his classmate and friend, if he can't help him this time, it will be difficult for him to feel at ease.
This was the first time that he felt helpless about his fourth-rank official position.
The prince can't control it, and Master Huo can't control it.
This matter is not easy to handle, Shen Ju is a civil official, he can't manage the affairs of the Criminal Department, even if he wants to solve this matter well, there is no way.
Therefore, he was ashamed of the Lu family and his second son, Shen Yu......
"Then the prince has a way?"
"Lord Huo, is this giving in to this king?"
"Xia Guan doesn't want to, but Xia Guan thinks about it carefully, and it seems that there is no loss in following the prince."
"Lord Huo, don't worry, this king will not treat you badly."
“……”
Shen Youqing and Yuxi looked at each other, the more they looked at them, the more weird they became, especially Yuxi, she looked at the two handsome guys, her eyebrows were flirtatious, and she couldn't help but feel sad for Shen Youqing's future.
The person who likes me is with the person I like, and I can only watch silly from the sidelines...... (To be continued.) )
