Chapter 20: Locked Up Again

After eating, the seventh young master didn't leave, so he sat with Yue'er in one place. Yue'er glanced at him secretly from time to time, and he pretended not to know.

Until she couldn't hold back and asked tentatively: "That, Seventh Young Master, uh, Seventh Prince, can you help me find my two maid rings?" They were sold by the Wu family before, and I don't know where they were sold. ”

The Seventh Young Master raised his eyes to look at her, looked at her for a while, and saw that Yue'er was panicked before he suddenly spoke: "Then can you tell me, who is the brother you shouted in your dream that day?" ”

Yue'er shook her head blankly: "I don't know who he is, but I've always dreamed of him recently." He was a kid, about ten years old, and I was a much younger kid. Every time in a dream he said that he would carry me on his back, and whatever I thought during the day, he would promise to do something for me in the dream. ”

The Seventh Young Master's eyes flickered and looked at her without arguing, Yue'er looked up at him blankly and asked him: "Do you say it will be my brother, I used to be with him when I was a child, and then he died young, and I was too young to pee and slowly forgot about him." But in fact, I didn't forget it, it seemed to seal him in the deepest place in my heart. I'll only release him when it's the hardest for me, don't you say? ”

He chewed her words repeatedly in his heart, "I will release him when I am the most difficult", yes, she sealed that brother in the deepest part of her heart, where no one can touch it. But when she was the most difficult, she let him out from her heart, let him comfort her, and protect her?

So for her, what kind of existence is that brother citrus?

Seeing that he stared at himself for a long time and didn't speak, Yue'er blinked and asked, "Do you say he's my brother?" ”

The Seventh Young Master took a deep breath before he spoke: "This reasoning is unrealistic, according to what you said, he was about ten years old when he carried you on his back, and you are a very young child. But no matter how young you are, you will be about three years old when you can communicate with him normally, and how old should Shen Xiangye be when you are three years old? ”

Yue'er did the math and replied, "When I was three years old, my father was 27, and he could have a son that big. ”

Well, the Seventh Young Master knows that he has ignored the fact that Shen Xiangye got married very late, okay, then re-analyze: "Then do you know the age of your biological mother, that is, Shen Xiangye's Mrs. Yuan?" ”

Yue'er nodded: "My mother is seven years younger than my father, and she was only 17 years old when she gave birth to me. After analyzing this, Yue'er understood, so she asked the seventh young master again: "Could it be my father's son born to someone else?" ”

The Seventh Young Master was a little speechless, I really didn't know what she was thinking in her little head. But he still had to analyze it with her, so he said: "Shen Xiangye has always been above board, and it is impossible to have children older than you. ”

Yue'er suddenly lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't think of my father like this." Maybe this brother is just a person I imagined, and I just longed too much for someone like that to be by my side and protect me. ”

The Seventh Young Master stretched out his hand and rubbed her head lightly twice and asked, "Have you ever entered the palace when you were young?" ”

Yue'er shook her head: "I don't remember, and no one told me." He raised his head and looked at him with some puzzlement: "Why did you suddenly ask me this?" ”

The Seventh Young Master didn't answer her, but continued to ask, "Do you know the names of the sixteen princes?" ”

"I used to know what I should know, but I don't necessarily know everything, but now I don't know any of them, and I have forgotten everything in the capital in Guanzhong all these years."

Maybe it's not that she forgot, it's just that, as she said before, it's just sealed in an unknown corner of her heart, and she doesn't dare to touch it or let it out.

The Seventh Young Master didn't ask anything more, then got up and said, "I'll go and let someone bring the medicine in."

Out of this room, the seventh young master felt a little bored in his heart, he had been angry with her before, and then she almost starved to death in the Wu family, and he left all those little things behind.

Hearing her words today, he just wanted to know what kind of pain she suffered when he was not in the capital.

Shen Xiangye died in the prison, which was Shen Yue'er's only reliance in the Xiangfu. At the age of nine, she faced the death of her father, after which the Prime Minister's Mansion was raided, and her stepwife returned to her parents' house, and Aunt Fu also found a place to live by herself, but no one cared about her.

How she was adopted by the Lin family The Seventh Young Master didn't know, but he only knew that he was not in the capital at that time.

After many years, he even felt that he might have forgotten her, but when she was disheveled and wanted to seduce Xie Yan that day, he looked at her from the bed. When I saw the jade pendant around her neck, I suddenly knew that I had never forgotten her.

It was too late to remember, and finally let her pretend to be someone else in her heart. Is it late? Even if it's late, as long as you think of me, I'm not afraid that you will remember Xie Yanzhi.

But if it really reminds her of it, she will hate it, right?

He personally brought her the medicine, and filled it with an extra bowl, and she asked, "What is this medicine for?" ”

He said: "Replenish qi and blood, your qi and blood deficiency is serious. ”

She looked at the other bowl of medicine with some embarrassment: "Don't drink this medicine, men will get hot if they use it." ”

"I'll accompany you this time, and you'll drink it by yourself in the future." He fed her another spoonful, and drank it himself.

After drinking the medicine, she asked vaguely with honey in her mouth: "Which one is really you?" ”

He smiled back and asked her, "What do you think?" ”

She shook her head: "I don't know, you were very frivolous and scary before. But now you're not like that at all, but you can't see that it's fake, are you lying to me? ”

"I'm not going to lie to you, never." It's just that I'm going to hide something from you, but it's because I'm afraid.

She nodded, and took a piece of honey to him, but he didn't reach for it, but took it in her hand, and her fingertips.

Yue'er suddenly withdrew her hand and peeked at him, but she didn't seem to care, it shouldn't be intentional, right?

"You haven't said you can help me find those two girls?" She looked at him like a wounded little rabbit with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes.

He almost relented, and directly agreed to her. But I still couldn't help but ask her: "This is not within our agreement, what do you use in exchange for me to help you find them?" ”

She thought for a moment and asked him, "In addition to serving you, I can also cook, can I cook for you?" Before he could answer, she said: "The food I cook is very delicious, and when I was at my uncle's house before, my aunt was afraid that I would gain weight, so I always didn't allow me to eat enough, so I secretly cooked food with Lan Xin." ”

He shook his head: "I don't have a shortage of cooks here. ”

Then she was embarrassed: "I can still embroider, but your clothes seem to be beyond my grasp." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to do any of this, promise me to do me a favor and pretend to be my wife when I need it." Usually obedient and obedient to be a girl, I have to be myself the seventh lady when I need it. ”

She couldn't agree to this, so she was embarrassed: "But I still have to find Brother Yan, it won't be good for him to misunderstand at that time." ”

The Seventh Young Master grinded his teeth secretly, but still reassured: "I won't let you be so embarrassed, it's just some special occasions." And you can change your name, unless Xie Yanzhi is present, no one will know that you are Shen Yue'er. ”

"If I promise you, you'll help me find Lan Xin and Megumi with you, right?"

The Seventh Young Master nodded: "Yes, if you promise me, I will help you find them." ”

Yue'er nodded heavily: "Okay, then I promise you." ”

He got up and went out, and when he walked to the door, she whispered to him, "Seventh Young Master."

The smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't been withdrawn when he turned around, when he heard her ask, "When can I go out to find Brother Yan?" ”

His eyes turned cold, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared in an instant: "Now the Wu family is looking for you all over the capital, unless I take you out, you can't leave here for half a step." ”

Yue'er was taken aback by his attitude, and muttered softly, "Why are you locked up again?" ”

He knew that he had scared her, so he explained: "You can do whatever you want in this courtyard, and no one will detain you in anything, but I can only take you with you when you go out, which is also to ensure your safety." ”

"yes, I know."

What do you know, you don't know anything, you only know how to hurt my heart, look for your brother Yanzhi. Don't you know that the person in his heart is not you?

The Seventh Young Master didn't dare to say these words, but he was thinking about her words almost all the time, she was going out to find Xie Yanzhi, and she was always thinking about going to him.
