Shen Huai paused the action of fiddling with the sleeve arrow, and said with a smile: "Got it." ”

After Shen Huai packed up his things, he followed Qi Rin to the front hall for dinner.

On the way, a little maid carrying a tray accidentally slipped and fell heavily in front of Shen Huai.

Qi Rin looked at this scene and subconsciously protected Shen Huai behind him.

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, poked his head out from behind Qi Rin and glanced at the maid, and then asked Shu'er to step forward and help the person up.

The maid who fell to the ground was obviously still young, and her eyes were red at the moment.

Shu'er quickly stepped forward to help the person up, and carefully observed her body to see if there were any traces of abrasions.

Fortunately, it was winter, and the clothes were thicker, and I didn't fall badly, just a little bruised.

After Shu'er helped the person up, she picked up the things on the ground and handed them back to the maid.

The little girl's hair was messy, and she saluted Shu'er with red almond eyes to thank her.

Shu'er held people up again and again, and she was not saluted.

The maid quickly pulled away.

After leaving, Shu'er looked at her back inexplicably, and stopped talking.

Shen Huai saw Shu'er's face clearly, and her eyes drooped slightly.

After dinner, Shen Huai declined Qi Rin's invitation to walk together. Under the pretext that she was a little sleepy, she asked Shu'er to send her back to her room to rest.

As soon as he returned to the room, Shen Huai grabbed Shu'er and closed the door.

"Miss?" Shu'er looked at Shen Huai puzzled.

Is this something unsavory to discuss?

"What's wrong with that girl? I see there's something wrong with the way you look at her. ”

Shu'er pursed her lower lip, slowly took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Huai.

It was a piece of jade pendant with a round and clear body.

After Shen Huai took it, he looked at it carefully for a moment. only to find that the jade pendant was not worn by a woman at all, but in the form of a man.

But...... This jade pendant is a little maid stuffed into Shu'er, no matter what the maid's intentions are. The price of this jade pendant alone is not within the range of the maid's affordability.

Shen Huai put away the jade pendant with her hands, and for some reason, she felt a little familiar with this jade pendant.

"If you see her again, will you still recognize her?" Shen Huai looked at Shu'er and asked.

Shu'er nodded without hesitation.

There was a tear mole in the corner of the girl's eye, which was easy to recognize.

Early in the morning, Qi Rin had just stepped out of the courtyard door with his front foot, and Shen Huai pushed the door out in the next second.

Bu Shao happened to pass by in front of Shen Huai's door with a copper basin, and when he saw that Shen Huai had gotten up so early today, he couldn't help but look at Shen Huai in surprise. At one point, I thought I was wrong.

After all, Shen Huai didn't want Shu'er to urge him to get up one day.

"Miss?" Bu Shao called out in disbelief.

Shen Huai responded, and shook his eyebrows and smiled.

Bu Shao's eyes widened.

After Shen Huai had breakfast, he found the housekeeper in the courtyard and asked him to call all the maids and maids who were serving in the courtyard.

After a while, a slippery maid and woman lined up in front of Shen Huai according to their height, shortness, fat and thinness.

Shen Huai raised his eyes and swept all of these people around, and finally his gaze stayed on a little maid in emerald green clothes standing in the center of the line.

The maid combed a double bun and a melon seed face, and she was very delicate and graceful. There is a small tear mole under the clear apricot eyes, which adds a touch of style to her.

Shen Huai turned around and glanced at Shu'er, who looked at the maid carefully and nodded.

It was the maid who handed her the jade pendant yesterday.

Shen Huai withdrew his gaze and whispered a few words to the butler instead.

The butler responded, and then dispersed all the people standing in front of him.

The maid naturally wanted to leave with everyone, but as soon as she stepped out of her front foot, the housekeeper stopped her in the next second.

The crowd standing beside her also turned their heads in confusion, their eyes wandering between the butler and her.

The housekeeper explained aloud, "Miss still lacks a person with sharp hands and feet, I think you are just right." ”

In an instant, the little maid set her eyes on Shen Huai and looked straight at her.

Shen Huai met her gaze and smiled.

The maid narrowed her eyes and stayed with the housekeeper obediently and meekly.

The rest looked at her with a look of envy. In a moment, the man retreated.

Shen Huai led the people into the room. As soon as she stepped into the room, Shen Huai took out the jade pendant and placed it in front of her.

"Who gave it to you?"

Shen Huai didn't want to go around in circles with the maid, so he immediately asked straight to the point.

When the maid saw the jade pendant, her eyes were filled with indescribable feelings.

She stared at the jade pendant in Shen Huai's hand with burning eyes, and said softly, "It's my son-in-law." ”

Shen Huai glanced at her, "Who is your son-in-law?" ”

The maid's gaze kept locking on the jade pendant, "Shen Sangongzi, Shen Yi." ”

Shen Huai suddenly withdrew the jade pendant, his pupils shrank suddenly, "Who?" ”

Seeing that the jade pendant was taken away again, the maid had to look into Shen Huai's eyes, "The third son of the Shen family, Shen Yi." ”

Hearing the maid's words at first glance, Shen Huai would not be able to think of Shen Yi for a while, but he vaguely remembered that he had received the favor of Xu Jin and Shen Songze, and Shen Huai couldn't think of the rest.

As for the jade pendant, Shen Huai suddenly knew why it was so familiar, because it was something that Xu Jin wore before his death.

When he was young, Shen Yi was the child of a big house, and his mother was even more mediocre, so he couldn't be compared with Shen Yulang and Shen Yuan's maternal family at all. So naturally, Shen Yi became the target of bullying by other children in the Shen Mansion.

Shen Songze and Xu Jin are both kind-hearted people, plus they have no children for many years, so they only adopted one daughter from Shen Huai. For Shen Yi on weekdays, he also takes care of most of them, and that jade pendant was given to him by Xu Jin in order to comfort him one day when Shen Yi was bullied.

"Did she receive it?" Shen Yi looked down at the person kneeling in front of him, and slowly brought a piece of paper in his hand to the candlestick and lit it.

The man was hidden under a large black cloak, so that no one could see her face clearly.

It's just that when it comes out, it's a beautiful and gentle female voice.

"Back to Gongzi, Miss Shen has asked you to meet in three days."

Shen Yi didn't speak, but quietly waited for the letter paper in his hand to burn out and fall to the ground as a little ash.

The person under the cloak suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yi.

In those clear apricot eyes, there was more caution and ...... Desire.

In her eyes, it was Shen Yi.

In her heart, he is also him.

Shen Yi tilted his head and raised his chin slightly.

He looked at her with no emotion in his eyes.

"Ah Mei, don't think about what you shouldn't think." Shen Yi lowered his voice, as if bewitched.

But when it fell into Su Mei's ears, it was like a thunderclap, which shook her body slightly.

"Childe......" Su Mei straightened up and looked at Shen Yi in a disfigured manner, the black cloak on his body was lifted off, revealing the small tear mole at the corner of his eye.
