[Chapter 029] Accountability
Shen Youqing followed Pei Shi all the way until he came to the end of the hand-copying verandah.
At the end, several wooden stakes are lined up.
"Any idea what this is?"
Shen Youqing naturally recognized that the dozen or so wooden piles of different thicknesses and heights in front of him were clearly the piles used by the little uncle to practice martial arts, of course, this was not only used when practicing martial arts, but when he was punished, his grandfather would occasionally let him stand on one foot on the pile for a few hours.
Pei's Jade Garden actually has this, will she also practice martial arts on a stake like her little uncle......
"Qing'er!" Pei's amplified voice was stern.
"Mother, have you forgotten that my daughter has been at her grandfather's house since she was five years old, and she has naturally seen this kind of thing, but I don't know what my mother brought me here for?"
Shen Youqing could probably think of her reason, but she didn't want to think about it, her family motto had been copied dozens of times, and if she sued her at this time that the punishment method had changed, wouldn't she be at a loss.
Pei's family was born in Jiangmen, and he can more or less practice a little martial arts, that is, he usually walks with a tiger and does things vigorously, which is why even Xiao Lang, the demon king of the mixed world, has become a obedient rabbit in front of her; It is precisely because of her impatience that she has always lacked patience with this biological daughter who gave her a headache, and she didn't know how to teach her this overboard......
This is perhaps the most useful, albeit a bit more crude.
"I am your mother, who taught you to speak to me like this?" As long as she heard Shen Youqing choking with her, she would immediately feel angry, she obviously wanted to get along with her daughter well, and she obviously wanted to compensate her, but in fact, their relationship had not changed in any way these days.
Shen Youqing's face changed, it seems that what his grandfather said is right, mother and daughter are natural enemies.
Pei's family stabilized her feelings, in the end, she saw her daughter's desire to speak and stopped, and she was really distressed: "Qing'er, I avoided everyone and brought you here alone, just to hear the truth-"
"What does Mother want to hear? Did I push the second sister down? ”
Shen Youqing looked directly at Pei's gaze.
Pei's expression was complicated, and he hesitated for a moment, but still asked directly, "Why did Miss An and your second sister fall into the water at the same time?" ”
"Why doesn't Mother care how I fell in?"
Shen Youqing's questioning made Pei Shi even more embarrassed, and at the same time, she also felt a little sad in her heart, she didn't know this daughter, and she didn't know if she would ...... Fu'er for any reason
On the contrary, she understands Fu'er's temperament, Fu'er is a little scheming, but she knows the truth of doing things better, and after thinking about it, she also feels that she will never blame her mother's biological daughter for such a strict thing.
"So the mother wants to hear her daughter say that I pushed it?"
Shen Youqing was completely disappointed, she thought that no matter how suspicious she was, no matter how close she was, they were also mother and daughter, and their blood was thicker than water; She thought her mother would figure things out and figure out what was going on; She thought that her mother would take care of her daughter when she saw her falling into the water, but why did she always see her mother asking her for others, and why did she never feel any protection from her mother......
"If I had said, 'It's not me,' would my mother believe me?" Shen Youqing's voice trembled, but she didn't notice the astringency on the tip of her nose at all.
"I believe it!" Pei's answer this time was beyond Shen Youqing's expectations.
The corners of Shen Youqing's mouth rose slightly, clenched her fists, and said, "Okay, mother, it wasn't me who let An Hui'er and the second sister fall into the water." Mother believes? ”
Pei's condensed brows suddenly relaxed, and he even smiled: "Can you see who it is?" ”
Shen Youqing looked at the wooden stakes, and suddenly thought of the scene where his little uncle was punished on the wooden stakes, and couldn't help laughing, and then secretly annoyed, in this case, he could still think of those irrelevant ......
"Qing'er?"
"If the mother wants to know, she can ask the second sister, and what she says is what it is, even if she says that it is her daughter, the daughter has nothing to say." Shen Youqing's expression was very low, and Pei Shi couldn't bear it, even if he had doubts, he couldn't ask again.
Shen Youqing blinked, smiled shallowly at Pei's, and when he turned around, he heard Pei's voice.
"Qing'er, get along with Fu'er in the future, you will always be sisters!"
"Mother, my daughter is going back with Cousin Ning, you don't have to worry." After Shen Youqing finished speaking, seeing Pei's stunned expression, he added: "If no one provokes her daughter, her daughter will naturally be safe...... At this point, my grandfather said that my daughter is very much like her mother. ”
……
On the second day, Shen Youqing asked Yuxi to put away those family mottos.
On the way back to Rong'an Hall, he was stopped by Shen Youfu's maid Luluo, and Shen Youqing couldn't help but wonder how unimportant his status as the fourth young lady was.
"Fourth Miss, the eldest lady is back, and now she is at Madame's place, and the second young lady has ordered the slave maid to ask you to come over." The pothos is a loyal maid, and it looks much more reliable than the jade.
Shen Youqing's thoughts drifted elsewhere, should she change her maid......
Seeing that Shen Youqing didn't move for a long time, Luluo was anxious and helpless, so she had to wait, and finally waited for her to leave, but stopped again after a few steps.
"Pothos, it seems that I can't go for the time being, you sue Sister Sù and say that I will be there later."
Shen Youqing looked at the young man who came from afar, and temporarily made up his mind, leaving the pothos in a stunned state, and rushed away.
Huo Ying walked in a hurry, didn't notice that someone stumbled over, and almost bumped into it, and when he heard a vaguely familiar voice in his ears, he realized who it was, only nodded as a sign of courtesy, and continued to move forward.
"Lord Huo is also here to find my cousin this time?"
Shen Youqing trotted two steps and stopped Huo Ying.
Huo Ying looked at her, a little inexplicable, but since she was Pei Ning's cousin, she could only suppress the flames in her heart.
"Why did Miss Shen stop this official?"
"Lord Huo, as a waiter of the Criminal Department, why did he come to my cousin three times and twice?"
Shen Youqing had an expression of not letting you live, and Huo Ying was really a little impatient when he saw it in his eyes.
"Since Miss Shen knows the official position of this official, she should understand the duties of this official, does Miss Shen think that this official will come to trouble your cousin?"
"Maybe, Lord Huo...... Maybe ......"
"Maybe what?"
Huo Ying obviously saw that there was some unusual caution behind Shen Youqing's desire to speak and stop, but she didn't say it, and he didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so he bypassed her directly.
When he saw Pei Ning again, he suddenly thought of what Shen Youqing had not said for a long time, and his face turned crimson, and he was definitely angry with the bold girl.
"Why didn't Lord Huo come in?" Pei Ning looked at Huo Ying while dressing.
Huo Ying had just thought of Shen Youqing's words before, and was a little embarrassed for a while, this foot was raised to the average, not stepping in, not exiting, but seeing that Pei Ning was unobtrusive and generous, he suddenly felt that he was too sensitive and dirty, and after calming down, he relaxed a lot, and then stepped into the room.
"Uh...... Didn't Brother Pei just get up? ”
This time it was Pei Ning's turn to blush, thinking that he would oversleep as a big man, which really shouldn't be.
"I still want to ask Brother Pei for help when I come this time." Huo Ying said his purpose straight to the point.
Before Pei Ning could speak, someone answered for him.
"Not available!"
