"Son, let's go home." The eldest lady trotted over not far from Shi Qingqi and hugged Shi Qingqi, who was still kneeling, in her arms.

I don't know if she did it intentionally, the figure of the eldest lady completely blocked Shi Qingqian's afterglow, so that she couldn't see Shen Shu on the side.

At this time, his three elder brothers all gathered around him, Shi Yuan also stood aside, and even Shi Shuning stood a little farther away, but no one cared about Shi Zhenxiang who was trembling in the corner.

Shi Qingqian saw He Yan not far away, and Mu He who was standing over there.

"Hello, everything is fine, good." The eldest lady stroked Shi Qingqian's back distressedly.

"Mother, it's okay, it's just Jiang Yuhua's game, and besides, I've been wronged," Shi Qingqian stretched out his hand to comfort the eldest lady who was about to cry, "It's really nothing." ”

"Okay, let's talk about everything when we go back to the Hou Mansion!" Shi Yuan still opened his mouth, and while pulling up the eldest lady, he bowed deeply to Shen Shu, who had already stood up, "Little Lord Shen, thanks to your rescue this time, the old man thanks you again, if there is a chance in the future, my Hou Mansion will definitely repay you with a spring." ”

Shen Shu's face was cold, and he nodded lightly, "There is no need for Yongquan to reciprocate, when the road is uneven, no matter who it is, they will draw their swords to help." ”

Maybe it's because some topics are so embarrassing that no one deliberately brings them up.

The people of the Hou Mansion all saluted Shen Shu in unison, and the eldest lady and Shi Ke hurriedly pulled Shi Qingqian away by themselves.

As if to hide from Hades, no one wants to stay here longer.

Shi Yuan glanced at Shi Zhenxiang on the side, saw her holding a robe that she didn't know where it came from, looked at Shen Shu in a daze, and snorted in disgust, and scolded: "You are still embarrassed and conspicuous here!" Why don't you hurry back to the Hou Mansion! ”

Only then did she come back to her senses, and she was the first to meet Shi Shuning's secretly mocking gaze.

The group finally walked out of the banquet hall, "Ah Yan, where are you going?" The eldest lady noticed that He Yan didn't seem to have the idea of returning to the Hou Mansion with him, so she asked.

He Yan had just finished saying goodbye to Shen Shu, and he looked at Shi Qingqian with some concern, and when he saw that Shi Qingqian's eyes were still brutal and powerful, he put his mind at ease and turned his head to look at the eldest lady: "Sister, it's over, I'll go back to the barracks directly." You and your brother-in-law took Xiao Qi'er back to rest and rest, and she may have been frightened by today's events. ”

"Okay, then you have to be safe."

While the group was chatting at the door of the performance hall, Shi Qingqian's mind never left Shen Shu in the banquet hall.

She noticed that Mu He didn't come out either, and the next second she heard Mu He's voice: "Little Lord Shen, what you said in front of the civil and military officials just now, is it sincere!" ”

Shen Shu paused for a long time before his voice came faintly, as calm as ever without fluctuation, "It's just that the situation is urgent." ”

When Mu He heard this, his hands unconsciously clenched his fists, his slender eyebrows also stood up, and his originally delicate face was also a little hideous, "What method does the little prince use, if you have to say such a thing, it is still in front of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!" If someone catches this and doesn't let it go, the reputation of the child will be ruined in vain......"

"If someone catches this matter in the future," Shen Shu interrupted with a cold face, "This king will be responsible for this." ”

After Shen Shu said this, he turned his head and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw the people of the Hou Mansion who had not yet left. The first to face was naturally Shi Qingqian's pair of dark and extremely attractive eyes.

As if time had frozen a little at that moment, Shen Shu and Shi Qingqian looked at each other, and there was an indescribable atmosphere in the air, which seemed to be a little embarrassing, and perhaps there was some ambiguity in it.

Shi Qingqian was the first to reflect, and stepped forward and saluted Shen Shu with a wooden expression, "The courtiers thank Shen Xiaowang for their help, but in the future, ...... Don't just say that. ”

With that, she turned around with some coldness, and pulled the eldest lady and Shi Ke out without looking back.

Shen Shu stared at the ruthless back, and frowned rarely, as if there was a slight grievance between his eyebrows, like a black cat abandoned by his master. Eventually, he sighed and walked back in the other direction.

That night, Shi Qingqian had a nightmare, but she couldn't remember what it was when she woke up, only the hair stuck to her cheeks with sweat told her how terrible last night's dream was.

The next morning, next to Lanning Lake in the capital.

This lake view was newly built around the beginning of this year, with willow trees and low flowers on both sides, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Although it is the depths of winter, the lake is covered with snow, and the scenery is beautiful. Over the past year, this place has long become a favorite place for the famous ladies of the capital, and gradually, some small groups will choose to gather here.

As soon as Shi Shuning stepped into the door of the restaurant, the maidservant Suyu helped her take pictures of the snowflakes that had fallen.

"Sister Ning'er, why are you late today!" Zheng Shui'er, the concubine of Zheng Shilang's family, was sitting on the side of the patio on the second floor at this time, and there was a kind of young lady sitting next to her, but they were all concubines.

Seeing Shi Shuning walking in, they called cordially.

There are all concubines in this assembly, and among this group of concubines, only Shi Shuning's father is an official of Zheng Erpin, so naturally the concubines will come to cling to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Although she is not very respected in the group of concubines, she has become the most noble person in the group of concubines.

"There are some things at home that have been delayed." Shi Shuning, who walked up from the spiral staircase, took off his cloak as he spoke.

A concubine named Du Fanshuang took a sip of tea, with a smile that she didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, "Isn't it preparing the dowry of the lord of Baoying?" After all, Shen Xiaowang said such things in public, and the Hou Mansion really had to prepare. ”

"Oh, it's still a dowry." Shi Shuning suddenly smiled contemptuously, but in addition to this laughter, she still maintained the gentle and virtuous image she had been concave for a long time, "What about the dowry, my sister should be very sad now, right?" ”

"Oh? Sister Ning'er, tell us what's going on? Zheng Shui'er smiled and moved away from a position, took Shi Shuning's hand and asked her to sit beside her.

Shi Shu Ning smiled fiercely in a place that everyone couldn't see, what if Shen Xiaowang confessed in public last night? This morning's events are enough to make that Shi Qingqian ridiculed for a while!

The pleasure in her heart came, and she deliberately cleared her throat before speaking, "Ahem......
