Shen Youqing had a gut feeling that the man would not have come to celebrate his grandmother's birthday.

So he simply waited there, and sure enough, the man soon came out again, but there was a person behind him.

"Cousin?"

Shen Youqing shouted, then opened her eyes and Shen Youlan took her hand and ran up.

When she ran to Pei Ning with her dress, she suddenly realized that her behavior was abnormal, and she immediately stabilized her breath, thinking about how to explain, but before she could speak, the person blocked between her and her cousin, and the distance was so close that she had to take a step back.

"Master Huo, can I say a few words to my cousin?"

Seeing his cousin's embarrassed appearance, Pei Ning immediately stepped forward to protect her behind him.

The man looked at the girl with a crimson face in front of him, and seemed to be stunned, his expressionless face suddenly showed a little embarrassment, his appearance belonged to a handsome and soft scholar, but there was a cold temperament between his eyebrows and eyes, which looked a little abrupt and a little strange.

"Please do your best General Shen."

After he said this, he took a few steps and waited in front of the door of the moon cave, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact he unconsciously glanced at the tall back of the abrupt girl just now, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Shen Youqing didn't notice the man's probing gaze, and only hurriedly asked Pei Ning what was going on.

Pei Ning smiled gently and said, "This time I came to Beijing, I should have arrived two days ago, but I ran into a case on the road, and it happened that Huo Ying was also there......

"So, he took you down?" Shen Youqing glared at the man who was doing nothing.

"Watch out for him to hear, Master Huo's ears are extremely sensitive."

Shen Youqing was silent, and when she spoke again, she lowered her voice, "What case?" He's not going to involve you, is he? ”

"Don't worry, you'll be fine in a while." Pei Ning gave her a reassuring smile, and didn't say anything more, then raised his feet and walked towards Lord Nahuo.

"Thank you, Lord Huo."

Pei Ning stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"General Shen is polite." He replied, but your sister was really unkind, and dared to rampage in front of him, and if I remember correctly, she glared at him......

Shen Youqing looked at Pei Ning walking away, her gaze was not withdrawn, and she didn't turn around until she turned a corner at the end of the corridor and there was no figure of him, she turned back.

The moment he turned around, he seemed to see the man known as Master Huo looking back......

"Fourth sister, what's wrong?"

Hearing a soft voice in her ears, Shen Youqing reacted and forgot about this third sister.

"It's fine." Shen Youqing didn't say it explicitly, fortunately Shen Youlan wasn't there just now, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain.

Back in Rong'an Hall, Shen Youqing stayed by Pei's side, it seemed that Master Huo didn't alarm the others, but looking at Pei's expression, she should know; So, when everyone was busy talking to the old lady, Shen Youqing took the opportunity to ask: "Mother knows why my cousin ......?"

"Shhhh

Shen Youqing nodded and followed Pei Shi to the side.

Pei Shi explained: "Don't let others know about Ning'er's matter, if you are listened to by someone with a heart, it will not be good for Ning'er, and it will not be good for the Pei family." ”

Shen Youqing nodded, the sentence that it is indispensable to guard against others is indeed true.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Pei Shi comforted: "Your cousin has nothing to do with that case, you don't have to worry, it is precisely because of this that he told me, if it is a big matter, he will not sue me." ”

"However, my cousin is not familiar with the place in the capital, and that Lord Huo ......"

"Lord Huo? You said that it was Master Huo who took Ning'er away? ”

"Yes." When Shen Youqing answered, she was a little resentful, as if the person was right in front of her.

Pei Shi thought for a moment and nodded secretly, "If it was Master Huo, then there would be no problem...... Master Huo is a waiter in the Criminal Department, so he shouldn't be embarrassed by Ning'er. ”

After listening to Pei's words, Shen Youqing gradually calmed down.

It's just that Pei Ning still didn't come back in the evening, and Shen Youqing's heart rose again.

Back in Ningyuan, Shen Youqing remembered to ask about that Master Huo, "Yuxi, you go and call Chu Jiu over." ”

Yuxi boss is reluctant, in the end am I your maid or Chu Jiu, why do you ask me to call him every day, Chu Jiu is not your guard, why do you order him all day long......

Shen Youqing naturally didn't know about Yuxi's complaints, but suddenly thought that the person in Chu Jiu was not flexible, so it was better to ask Yuxi.

"Yuxi, do you know Lord Huo, the servant of the Criminal Department?"

"Lord Huo Yinghuo?"

Shen Youqing mumbled vaguely, looking like Yuxi seemed to know the person.

Huo Ying, this name seems a little familiar......

Shen Youqing thought about it, but didn't think about it, so he motioned for Yuxi to continue.

"Master Huo is the righteous son of the elder Li Taifu of the Three Dynasties, he is very powerful, he is a good official, but right...... I heard that he has a strange temperament, and he doesn't like to talk or laugh, miss, do you know him? ”

Shen Youqing couldn't help but glance at her, if I knew her, why would I ask you.

"Miss, are you still going to call the ninth year?"

"No need."

Yuxi was suspicious, looking at her restless appearance, she still did her duty as a maid and left the room to make soothing tea.

Shen Youqing grew up with Pei Ning since she was a child, and at that time, the elders in the family had no time to take care of her, so her cousin, who was seven years older than him, almost took on the responsibility of a father and took care of her, and now that her cousin was taken away by a criminal department attendant, how could she not be in a hurry!

Huo Ying, the waiter of the Criminal Department......

Yuxi's tranquilizing tea was indeed useful, and Shen Youqing fell asleep after drinking it for a while, and this sleep lasted until the second day.

Shen Youqing didn't wake up naturally, she had nightmares, and she had countless nightmares since she was a child.

When she woke up, she noticed a person in front of her.

"Cousin?"

"Why are you asleep here?" Pei Ning said angrily, as soon as he entered this room, he saw this girl curled up on the couch, looking like a weak kitten; Her sleeping face is calm and quiet, she has been like this since she was a child, but she seems to have nightmares often in her impression, and every time she has nightmares, her expression is painful and sad......

Shen Youqing gasped, fine sweat oozed from her forehead, her brows were twisted, she looked nervous and urgent, she didn't need to think about it, she knew that dream, and even every detail she remembered, this was a nightmare that had followed her for more than ten years, she couldn't forget it if she wanted to!

"Nightmares again?"

Shen Youqing nodded, she had never concealed anything from Pei Ning, in front of him, she was not restrained, and she did not deliberately twist and pretentious.

Pei Ning frowned slightly, "Probably curled up on the couch and didn't sleep well, let's go sleep for a while, I'll tell her at my aunt's." ”

"That Lord Huo didn't embarrass you."

"Nope."

"That's all settled?"

Pei Ning was a little helpless, so he had to keep a straight face, "Don't worry about these things, you want to be a housekeeper at a young age?" ”

Shen Youqing was dragged inside by Pei Ning, and when she heard his words, she couldn't hold back, "I'm not young, I can get married." ”

"Qing'er is planning to get married?"

Pei Ning understands her temperament, and she is very calm about what other women are ashamed to say, so when she heard her say this casually, she didn't react too much, but for a moment she had a strange feeling of "being a big girl".

"Grandmother is afraid that she will tell me about the matchmaker, cousin, why don't we leave quickly and go back to Ningyuan City, anyway, everything in the capital is done."

Pei Ning looked childish at her, so she smiled, "What about my aunt?" ”

Shen Youqing's expression suddenly became gloomy, and she thought about it for a long time, "She won't care." ”
