Chapter Twenty-Seven: Homecoming

But some things are never predictable. Gu Congsheng's face gradually faded, and his mind went blank. Shen Qiaoan fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up again, the first thing that caught his eye was a red shirt.

Shen Qiao'an's eyes opened widely, and before she could go to see the people next to the bed, her heart sank to the lowest place. Sleeping unconsciously, in Shen Qiao'an's image, was already a matter of the previous life. But there was a person in front of the bed, but she was unconscious this time.

After contemplating, she reached out and brushed away the bed curtain, "Third sister?" This back is thin and thin, and a lump can be wrapped around it with just one hand.

"Sister Joan, are you awake?" Ji Qiaohui's expression was indifferent, so that Shen Qiaoan couldn't look at the emotions in her heart. Although both of them are women, at the moment Shen Qiaoan is only wearing a plain white shirt, and her long black hair is scattered, and she has been in a mess after sleeping all night.

Shen Qiaoan got out of bed, raised his hand to comb his hair, opened the door, and shouted outside, "Jade Ying."

A conservative woman like Ji Qiaohui would even have a mess into her room. If this was before, Shen Qiaoan would not have dared to think of it.

As soon as Yuying heard Shen Qiao'an's voice, she ran over from outside, "Miss." His eyes subconsciously looked in, and Ji Qiaohui, who was sitting next to Shen Qiao'an's bed, startled Yuying, and her expression changed, "Third Miss?"

Ji Qiaohui looked from inside, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't say anything.

A trace of strange emotion flashed in Shen Qiao'an's eyes, and she instructed Yuying: "Go and prepare, wash ahead today."

Yuying responded, and after Shen Qiaoan was cleaned up and dressed, she withdrew again.

The door of the main room was wide open, Shen Qiaoan sat down at the round table placed in the center of the room, raised her eyes to look at Ji Qiaohui, who didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "Third sister, how did you get in?" I asked Yuyan to close this courtyard from the inside at night. ”

Although the door was open, the room was still dark. Shen Qiao'an panicked in his heart. Just as he was about to say that he would go out to sit, Ji Qiaohui said slowly, "I'm just here for a stick of incense." Your maid Yuyan got up early, she opened the courtyard door, and I came in by myself. I didn't know Sister Joan in advance, but I was rude. ”

I see. Shen Qiaoan silently sneered, and then pointed to the stone table outside to Ji Qiaohui, and said, "The light in this room is not very good, the third sister comes out to sit, after staying in it for a long time, her eyes can't stand it."

After the two sat opposite each other at the stone table, Ji Qiaohui said, "Today, Sister Qiao An will go back to the Changning Marquis Mansion with me."

As soon as the words came out, Shen Qiaoan was stunned, and she said, "Isn't Old Madam Gu still well? Big Lady ...... She?"

The latter words were not finished, but when Ji Qiaohui heard it, she still understood the meaning of her words, "Mother and fourth sister are still staying in the Jingshun Hou Mansion, and only you and I will go back today." ”

"Yes...... Why?" Shen Qiaoan was puzzled.

Ji Qiaohui's back is straight, and her temperament is surprisingly quiet, if she doesn't open her mouth, she is really no different from a puppet. Shen Qiao'an's eyes keenly caught the strange look that flashed on Ji Qiaohui's face.

"There is still something at home, and my mother can't leave the Jingshun Marquis Mansion. As a concubine, I naturally have to share my mother's worries more. After all, this is not the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, if you stay here for a long time, Sister Qiao'an......"

Ji Qiaohui paused, as if she was considering her words, "I'm afraid it's unreasonable." ”

If you talk about relationships, Shen Qiaoan is just the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Changning. There is no half-kinship in this Jingshun Marquis Mansion, and it is still for the sake of the Gu family that she can stay here for a few days these days.

Shen Qiaoan woke up suddenly, and then looked at Ji Qiaohui's calm expression, and suddenly knew what was going on.

Ji Qingliu must have told Gu about Gu Congsheng last night. The mother and daughter were in a hurry, and their eyes became more and more intolerant of her. Today, I have to drive her back to the house first, so as to prevent her from secretly falling in love with Gu Congsheng.

Shen Qiao laughed silently at ease, then the Gu family and Ji Qingliu really treated Gu Congsheng as a piece of treasure jade and held it tightly in their hands.

"Okay." Shen Qiaoan nodded in response.

Ji Qiaohui looked at her in some surprise, last night the Gu family temporarily called her over and told her openly and secretly. A lot of superfluous words, Ji Qiaohui summed it up, it was her sister-in-law Ji Qingliu, who was interested in the position of the prince and wife of the Marquis of Jingshun.

But today, Gu Congsheng, his cousin, is a concubine and a lover who has no intention of getting up, and even secretly looks at other women. In order to prevent her sister's good marriage from flowing water, she must completely eliminate Gu Congsheng's empathy and other thoughts.

And the other woman is the well-behaved and cute Shen Qiao'an. Ji Qiaohui was shocked when she heard Gu say this about Shen Qiaoan. Her first reaction was disbelief.

But she had no choice but to screw Gu Shi, and Ji Qingliu looked like she was going to seek death if she didn't agree, so she had no choice but to agree first.

"You're ...... Don't you think about it a little more?" Ji Qiaohui asked hesitantly. Shen Qiaoan's unhesitating appearance, where is a little like what Ji Qingliu said. Even if she decided that it was Ji Qingliu who was playing a temper this time, Shen Qiaoan had some ability, Ji Qingliu had been spoiled by the Gu family since she was a child, and she couldn't get used to her in her heart, so she wanted to say something unnecessary to slander Shen Qiaoan.

Shen Qiaoan smiled and said, "What the third sister said is right, I am an outlier in this Jingshun Marquis Mansion. Wouldn't it be happier to stay here as an outsider and go back to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to be a master?"

"Okay." Ji Qiaohui exclaimed.

"I'll go back and let the men bring the things to the wagon, and then you can see what else needs to be taken with you, and load them up."

Shen Qiaoan brought only a few changes of clothes, and Yuying Yuyan and the two of them. Something from the Marquis of Jingshun's Mansion? She didn't want to touch it.

Shen Qiaoan said, "Third sister, go back and clean up first." I'll wait for you in the carriage. ”

Before Ji Qiaohui left, she had to go to say goodbye to the Gu family and Mrs. Gu, and Shen Qiaoan was helpless and happy at this time. Yuying Yuyan packed up the clothes they brought, closed the courtyard gate from the outside, and then followed Shen Qiaoan and walked outside.

After three or two days of wind and rain, the young leaves on the branches were more vigorous.

The three of them walked out, and none of the people passing by stopped them. It seems that someone has already told them to go so conveniently. Outside the gate of the Marquis Jingshun's mansion, the carriage called by Ji Qiaohui had stopped on the clean stone road.

After waiting for a while, a few servants came out carrying a few burdens. Ji Qiaohui was supported by Bizhu, and the red shirt she was wearing in her courtyard had been replaced by a Shui Bi wide-sleeved stand-up collar shirt.

"I've kept you waiting, Sister Joan." Ji Qiaohui's face was faintly crimson, and she said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter." didn't wait long, Shen Qiaoan couldn't help but quip: "It's the third sister, it's only a short time, and I've changed my dress again, but who are you going to meet?"

"Sister Joan, don't laugh." Ji Qiaohui stretched out her hand and pushed her, and the coachman had already taken out his foot and put it on the ground to facilitate them to get into the car, and the two got into the carriage one after another.

Yuying Yuyan and several girls followed behind a smaller carriage. The group set off silently.

When they arrived at the Changning Marquis Mansion, Shen Qiaoan separated from Ji Qiaohui and went back to their own courtyards.

The Jingshun Marquis Mansion and the Changning Marquis Mansion are not far apart, and the time of the Changning Marquis Mansion is still in the middle of the year. Ji Huan entered the palace early in the morning, and Ji Huaizhou and Ji Mengyu were still in the school at this time. Old Marquis Ji was sent by the emperor to do errands last month, and now that the Gu family is not there, only the second room Ji Zhong and his family are left in the entire Changning Marquis Mansion.

After going out for a few days, as soon as Yuying opened the courtyard door, she was choked by the falling dust.

"How...... Ahem...... So much dust?" Yuying coughed and said intermittently.

Yuyan took out a feather duster from the corner of the yard, flicked the dust falling from the naked eye with neat movements, and said: "This yard has been built for some years, the wood is loose, we don't live here for a few days, of course the ashes will fall."

Not only was the ash falling, but the yard was also covered with leaves, green and yellow, which was dazzling to see. Thinking that it was the rain that fell two days ago, and there were no people left in Shen Qiao'an's courtyard to guard the house, no one cleaned it, and it was such a courtyard that greeted them when they came back at this time.

It seems that only the two of Yuying and Yuyan are still not enough.

Shen Qiaoan stood by the door and watched the two girls busy.

"Mrs. Shen." Bizhu's voice came from behind him. Shen Qiaoan turned around, but Bizhu didn't come alone this time, she was followed by the maid, and at a glance, there were seven or eight people.

Shen Qiaoan frowned, nodded lightly at Bizhu, and said, "But what's wrong with the third sister?"

Bizhu smiled and saluted Shen Qiao'an, and then explained the cause and effect, "This yard is in disrepair, and if you don't live for a long time, dust will accumulate, and my young lady asked me to bring someone to clean up for Shen Niangzi." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Shen Qiaoan said.

Then he went to see the few people brought by Bizhu, and called Yuying and Yuyan, "You two assign them some things to do, there are more people, and they should finish it earlier." ”

The two girls nodded and called the maids away, but in a moment, everyone started to do their own things.

Ji Qiaohui was subtle, and she could think of such a small thing, which made Shen Qiao admire her even more.

Back at the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, Shen Qiao'an's vigilance couldn't help but relax a little. She was idle and happy here, but Gu Congsheng of the Marquis of Jingshun was anxious again.

His little bit of arrogance had been worn out for a long time, and most of it had been consumed when he woke up today. Thinking of Shen Qiao'an, when I don't see her, there is always a little bit of something wrong in my heart. Liu Yong's so-called "make people haggard for Yi, and never regret the gradual widening of the belt." "But that's right. Every sentence is reasonable, now that Shen Qiaoan is gone, Gu Congsheng is thinking that his body has lost a few points.
