Zhou Shaojin's expression stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he turned around and looked at Cheng Xu vigilantly.

What is he going to do?

However, since he came to find him, there must be a follow-up. She didn't know his intentions, and if she said too much, she would only expose her feet and be caught by him, so it was better to wait for him to explain her intentions before making plans.

Zhou Shaojin hid behind Shi Xiang with half of his body.

Shi Xiang listened to it, but his heart beat a drum.

Earlier, the second lady called her full of wolves, only saying that she was lost in the bamboo forest, but she didn't mention anything else, but now she is very nervous...... Is it really as Uncle Xu said, what did the second lady do that she shouldn't do?

Her heart was pounding. In a blink of an eye, I thought that the eldest lady often said to them that those who lose do not lose the battle. Even if the second lady did something that should not be done, first, there are no witnesses, and second, there is no evidence, can they admit it based on his uncle's words?

Shi Xiang suddenly doubled his courage again, stepped forward and blocked Zhou Shaojin behind him, and pretended to be calm: "What did Uncle Xu say?" Why can't we understand? ”

Cheng Xu couldn't help but glance at Shi Xiang.

Dare to speak first in front of the young lady, it seems that this maid must be very decent in Wanxiangju.

He looked at Zhou Shaojin with a smile and said, "What I said, you don't understand, your young lady must understand." Am I right? Cousin of the Zhou family......"

Isn't he smart and humble, praised by the Cheng family, regarded by the Yuan family as the eldest grandson of the long house for life, and the future head of the Cheng family? How can you act so frivolously and pompously?

Could it be that everything I heard in my previous life was false?

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and didn't speak, but the vigilance in his eyes became stronger.

Shi Xiang panicked.

Cheng Xu is the uncle of the long house, how can he be compared to those reckless little housekeepers. Since he dared to find it, he must be confident.

She glanced at Zhou Shaojin who was hiding behind her, and couldn't help but start a void in her heart, and said in a fierce voice: "What do you want?" ”

Cheng Xu didn't make a sound, looked at Zhou Shaojin with a smile, but took out a silk flower of hydrangea from his sleeve.

The mother-in-law who opened the door for Zhou Shaojin wore a silk flower of hydrangeas.

Shi Xiang's expression changed greatly, and when she looked at Zhou Shaojin again, her face was frighteningly white, as if she was about to faint immediately.

When did she still hold on, and said in a lost voice: "What does the uncle want?" ”

Cheng Xu was very surprised.

He just wanted to tease this cousin of the Zhou family, and then untie the knot in front of him when the atmosphere was good, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and once again scared the cousin of the Zhou family into such a look.

That wasn't what he intended!

Cheng Xu regretted it very much.

Suddenly I thought of the scene where the two met for the first time in the bamboo forest.

Did she hear something she shouldn't have heard?

He thought that he sincerely apologized to Zhou Shaojin, but Zhou Shaojin ran away like a ghost...... The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Shaojin had obviously heard something in the bamboo forest.

He couldn't help but have a slight expression, and there was no longer the previous playfulness between his eyebrows, but faintly revealed that he looked at Da Su with a heavy and serious look at him at his age.

Da Su avoided the forest without saying a word.

Cheng Xu said to Zhou Shaojin in a warm voice: "Cousin of the Zhou family, I want to say a few words to you alone, is it okay?" ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't want to stay alone with him at all, let alone talk.

"No!" She bluntly rejected Cheng Xu's suggestion, and said stiffly, "I have nothing to say to people, and I have nothing to say to you!" ”

Cheng Xu couldn't help but get anxious and said, "Cousin of the Zhou family, I really have no malice - if I wanted to sue my grandmother, I wouldn't have run out to chase you and say these things to you." He added, "Don't worry, I won't say anything about the bamboo forest." But I also have a few words for you, please listen to me. The bamboo forest is a small gossip array, and idle people can't get out at all when they go in, since I can take this hydrangea, others can also take it. If I have misunderstood you before, and I am here to compensate you, please listen to me two words. I'm doing this for your own good, and if you don't believe it, I can swear to God! ”

His expression was sincere, and no one would suspect that he was lying.

But what he met was Zhou Shaojin - even if she believed that what he said was true, she would not stay alone with him for even a quarter of an hour, not to mention that Zhou Shaojin disliked this person from the bottom of her heart, had preconceived ideas, and didn't believe what he said at all.

"No need!" Her face turned cold, "If you're okay, we'll go back first." I'm going to Jing'an Zhai early tomorrow morning! Unlike Uncle Xu, he has already made a name for himself, so it doesn't matter if he reads or not. Although she chose to forget, the grievances in her previous life were not scattered and dispersed, and in the end, she couldn't help but stab Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu frowned.

This cousin of the Zhou family, who looks delicate and cute like a flower, why is she so stubborn?

He was slightly displeased, and glanced at Shi Xiang with a deep gaze.

Shi Xiang felt as if she was being looked at by the eldest lady, and turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhou Shaojin hugged Shi Xiang's arm tightly.

Shi Xiang had no choice but to whisper: "Second Miss, I'll stand next to the willow tree in front, I'll come over as soon as you call me." ”

Even so, Zhou Shaojin felt scared.

"No, you don't." She hugged Shi Xiang's arm tighter, "I don't have anything to say to him, he can sue sù whoever he wants." Let's go back to Wanxiangju! ”

Shi Xiang did not have such confidence.

She is neither a servant of the Zhou family nor a servant of the Cheng family. She was originally from Jinling, and when she was five years old, she almost starved to death when her family had no rice to cook, so she was sold to the Zhou family. The Zhou family has always been generous, and her father and brother will occasionally come to see her, and every time they come to see her, they will not only talk to her about the family, but also be glad that she has met a good family, and ask her to cherish her blessings and work well in Wanxiangju. And for them, who were born and raised in Jinling, the Cheng family is like a high mountain, a favorite thing they can't imagine, and they are instinctively afraid.

"Second Miss," she hesitated for a moment, then persuaded Zhou Shaojin in a low voice, "You better listen to what Uncle Xu has to say, right?" I looked at Uncle Xu as if he really had something to say to you......"

Zhou Shaojin shook his head stubbornly.

Cheng Xu really wanted to leave with his hands, but looking at Zhou Shaojin's snow-white face and docile eyebrows, as if they were soft to his heart, he was reluctant to just walk away!

"Alas!" He had no choice but to sigh and shout Da Su, and said, "Look at it, I have something to say to the second miss." He said to Shi Xiang again, "You can listen to it by the side." After that, his face sank, and he said, "However, if a third person knows what I said to the second lady, you can wait to be sold to the ravine by cutting out your tongue and gouging out your eyes!" ”

Shi Xiang was so frightened by his words that she shuddered, and wanted to listen to his words and avoid the side like Da Xu, but her arm was held by Zhou Shaojin and couldn't move, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "I listen to the second lady." Looking at Zhou Shaojin's eyes, he couldn't help but show a little pleading.

Zhou Shaojin was unmoved.

I didn't do anything at all, Cheng Xu, a villain, actually said such a thing to scare them in order to threaten himself.

She couldn't help sneering and said, "I'm afraid that my maid is still in charge of Uncle Xu, who can't live in the long room!" ”

Cheng Xu was so angry when he heard this...... I didn't know what to do, and said, "You think I want to take care of your business?" If I hadn't looked at you, I would have been my cousin......"

But his cousin is not only Zhou Shaojin. If it is about blood, Zhou Shaojin is not his cousin.

Cheng Xu was so angry that he couldn't talk anymore, so he simply turned his heart sideways and said, "Did you hear your grandmother talking to Chief Manager Qin?" My second uncle likes to read and educate people, and he doesn't like to be an official. But at that time, my grandfather died, and my father and second uncle had to return to their hometowns to guard the system. There are people in the court who are good officials. The second uncle had no choice but to provoke the beams of the long house. When my father and second uncle reappeared, my second uncle returned to the Hanlin Academy to continue to be his attendant. This time, because of the prince's affairs, the emperor dismissed many Beijing officials, including the prince of the country. My father felt that my second uncle was enough to take on this position in terms of qualifications, knowledge, character, and prestige, so he planned for my second uncle in Beijing. Who knew that the second uncle didn't want to suffer from the case anymore, and he didn't want to fight for the position of the country's son to supervise the wine, and I told my father a few times, and my father and the second uncle meant to let the old man go out of the mountain, and his old man had no choice, so he begged my grandmother to come.

"It doesn't matter what you hear, as long as you don't tell anyone, it's fine—I was in the bamboo forest at the time, and if anyone doubts, you just don't know what to say. I'll testify to that for you, too. However, you really can't say anything about this matter, even the uncle and grandmother of the fourth room, you can't say it, otherwise you will get into trouble. ”

In the end, he solemnly confessed.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't understand a word, and his expression was blank.

Cheng Xu looked at her like a Pekingese dog he raised, and when he couldn't see himself, he would look around blankly...... The soft-hearted seemed to be able to drip water, and couldn't help but ask her softly: "Do you remember my words?" ”

What does this have to do with yourself?

Zhou Shaojin stared at him with wide eyes.

Although Shi Xiang didn't understand what Cheng Xu said, it didn't prevent her from understanding the powerful relationship.

She saw that Zhou Shaojin looked dumbfounded, for fear that Cheng Xu would change her mind, so she said busily: "Our second lady understands." Uncle Xu, I accept your affection, our young lady, well, and me, will not go out and talk nonsense. If you hear any gossip, just come to us and settle the score. ”

Settle accounts with them?

Their young lady didn't say a word, what does your little maid say count?

Cheng Xu wanted to ask for a promise, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the girl who was silent with her eyelids drooping, and the hair that fell quietly on her face seemed to be supple.

Forget it, it's not a big deal.

Just carry it around for him!

"Gone!" Cheng Xu raised his hand towards Da Su, turned around and strode away from Yongdao.

Shi Xiangchang breathed a sigh of relief, folded his hands and recited "Amitabha" to the west, and said with emotion: "Uncle Xu is really a good person!" ”

Good?

Cheng Xu?

In the eyes of others, Cheng Xu is a good person?

Zhou Shaojin lowered his head.
