On the way home, Shen Youqing and Pei Shi rode in the same carriage, which was very spacious, and at least two or three more people could be seated.

Pei's eyes are always on her daughter's face, the more she looks at it, the more she feels that her daughter's immature face is very familiar, especially the eyebrows, in the past, there were always people who said that her daughter was like her, she didn't care, this time she took a closer look, but it was exactly the same as her.

Shen Youqing looked away a little uncomfortably, the mother and daughter just like this, you look at me, I see you go all the way, but they haven't spoken.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and Shen Youqing was unprepared, almost falling off the seat, and subconsciously grabbed the life-saving grass at hand with both hands.

"Qing'er—"

"Mother-"

Shen Youqing and Pei Shi spoke at the same time, but the next moment they were stunned, their eyes were facing each other, although Pei Shi didn't say anything, but the surprise that flashed in his eyes made Shen Youqing feel extremely ashamed, and he couldn't help but blush and bow his head......

Pei didn't care much, lifted the curtain and asked Mama An, "What's wrong?"

"Madame, there is a puddle on the road, and the groom has not paid attention."

Pei Shi carefully commanded a few words, put down the curtain, patted Shen Youqing's hand, and said softly, "It's okay." It sounded like he was appeasing Shen Youqing's feelings.

Shen Youqing didn't say anything on her face, but there was a layer of peace of mind in her heart, she was frightened when she was a child, and Pei's family coaxed her like this. It seems that Pei Shi thought she was scared......

I thought that there would be nothing to talk about along the way, but I didn't expect that because of this little thing, Pei Shi opened the conversation, and she missed Shen Youqing when she was a child, and Shen Youqing also listened all the time, and didn't argue about anything like before......

"Qing'er, I've put you at your grandfather's house all these years, you should hate me very much."

Pei Shi said this suddenly, Shen Youqing was silent for a long time, and did not answer, she is her own mother, how can she hate, but because she is a mother, how can she not hate......

The meaning of silence, Pei Shi naturally understood, she sighed: "I saw my mother today to know why my mother couldn't tolerate you at that time-"

Shen Youqing raised her head suddenly, she was indeed very resentful, she would think about this problem every day, and when she really heard Pei Shi talk about it, she realized that she was eager to know.

"Do you know why my mother is good to your second sister?" Pei Shi didn't seem to intend to listen to Shen Youqing's answer, and continued without a pause: "Your second sister has been smart and studious since she was a child, and this is related to you...... It's very similar to your big brother. ”

"After Rong'er was buried, my mother didn't think about him all the time, remembered him, you were still young at that time, you probably didn't understand that, and you still jumped up and down after a few days, I couldn't bear you to appear in front of my eyes all the time......"

"So, you sent me to my grandfather?" When Shen Youqing heard Pei's words, she felt sad, she really threw herself aside because of her eldest brother.

Pei's eyes were red, and he continued: "After sending you away, my mother didn't feel good...... Fu'er and Rong'er are four or five points alike, and she often stays with her mother at that time, and after a long time, her mother feels more and more that Fu'er is Rong'er. ”

Shen Youqing looked at her in shock, and suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, for Shen Youfu, for herself, and for Pei's family; Pei has always liked the second sister more, but it was just because she looked like the eldest brother......

Pei's voice was a little choked, and after a pause, he looked at Shen Youqing's face again, "Actually, you and Rong'er look more alike...... It's just that these ...... Why didn't my mother find out before? ”

Shen Youqing's heart was mixed, she didn't think that it would be such a reason, seeing Pei's sad expression at this moment, in her heart, her hatred for Pei's family also decreased slightly.

"Qing'er, my mother is sorry for you." Pei Shi held her hand, and tears almost fell.

"I want to go back with my cousin."

"Why? Mother-" Pei Shi looked at her in surprise, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, she abandoned her daughter for so many years, even if she had pain in her heart, how could she ask her daughter to understand her heart.

Shen Youqing didn't think so in her heart, "My cousin and I have been away for many days, my grandfather will definitely miss me, and my daughter will miss her grandfather too...... Mother, I have lived in the General's Mansion since I was a child, and I have become accustomed to life there, and now that I have heard you explain the reason, my daughter is naturally relieved a lot...... I think my grandfather would be happy if he found out, so my daughter should go back to tell her grandfather soon. ”

Pei touched Shen Youqing's hair, smiled gently, and just wanted to say something, but heard a commotion outside the carriage......

"What's wrong?" Shen Youqing opened the curtain and asked Yuxi.

Yuxi looked ahead with a worried brow, Shen Youqing urged again, and then she replied: "Miss, suddenly there are a lot of refugees coming from over there, it should be from Cangzhou......"

Shen Youqing has also heard about the drought in Cangzhou, the drought in Cangzhou is severe, there is no harvest, and many people have starved to death; The capital is not far from Cangzhou, and most of the places in Gyeonggi are rich, so many Cangzhou people have flocked to the surrounding areas of the capital, but they didn't expect to be caught up by her......

"Miss, why don't we take a detour, they seem to be coming."

"No way!" Shen Youqing immediately stopped, "They must have thought we had something to eat, so they came over; Let's take the carriage and the target is too big, Yuxi, you let everyone else disperse......"

Shen Youqing looked at Pei's family, "Mother, let's not take the carriage, otherwise they will surround us." ”

Refugees are like hungry wolves, especially those who are starving. In Ningyuan City, Shen Youqing has seen displaced refugees rise up more than once, and even fight against the officers and soldiers without even taking their lives, sometimes just for a bite to eat......

"Yes, ma'am, we are about to get to the gate of the city, and it will not be in the way if you walk a few steps."

As soon as Mama An's words fell, she heard Yuxi shouting: "It's the ninth day of the first month, and the ninth day of the first month is coming."

Shen Youqing helped Pei Shi jump out of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw Chu Jiu rushing over, followed by several family members in the house.

"Madame, Mademoiselle. Recently, refugees have been flocking in, and my lord ordered his subordinates to escort Madame and Miss back to their homes. Chu Jiu instructed a few of his subordinates to separate a road, and then quickly walked to Shen Youqing's side.

"Miss, are you hurt?"

Shen Youqing smiled dumbly, although some refugees might fight for food, she would not put herself in danger......

Chu Jiu was stunned, and then, his shoulder was beaten hard by his sister.

"Don't even ask me if I'm okay, I'm your own sister......"

Shen Youqing heard her complaint, and couldn't help but look at Chu Jiu, who was going to make fun of him, but found that his face was slightly red and seemed to be quite ashamed, so he dispelled this idea.

"Madam, just said my lord, is it ......" Mama An reminded Pei Shi's side, and before she finished speaking, Pei Shi already understood.

"Chu Jiu, but the master is back?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Hearing this, Shen Youqing was stunned, Shen Ju? Her father, he's back?
