Xiao Zhi looked at her smiling, and his eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.

Shen Zhi didn't scare him, and met his gaze without dodging.

The eyes of the two men intertwined in the air, as if they were engaged in an invisible fight.

However, in the end, Xiao Zhi's gaze was too deep and straightforward, Shen Zhi looked at each other for a while and felt a little unbearable, but just looking away like this, it seemed that she took the initiative to admit defeat

Target.

Just when Shen Zhi couldn't think of an idea in his heart, there was a knock on the door, and Gray Ling whispered outside the house: "Master, dinner is ready." ”

Xiao Zhi finally looked away and said, "Send it in." ”

When Ash Ling entered, he saw his master sitting in front of the couch, and the second Miss Shen was bowing her head and concentrating on wrapping gauze around the wound.

It looks as harmonious as ever, but I can't tell what's a little weird.

Gray Ling, who has always had a keen intuition, can't grasp where her weird feeling comes from at this time.

After treating the injury, Shen Zhi put away the needle bag, and Gray Ling immediately came over to serve Xiao Zhi with a familiar car.

Shen Zhi said: "What the prince said still counts? ”

Xiao Zhi's eyes raised slightly, as if he was asking with his eyes: What words?

Shen Zhi said: "Before, the prince said that he could help Shen Zhi with one thing, Shen Zhiyuan didn't want to bother the prince, but now there is indeed one thing, I need the help of the prince, and I hope for the prince."

Can help me. ”

Xiao Zhi got dressed, sat down at the table, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Shen Zhi sat down according to his words, but he glanced at the exquisite dishes on the table, and wondered in his heart, it was this hour before dinner?

Xiao Zhi said: "What do you want this king to help you?" ”

Shen Zhi gathered his mind and said: "Those two thieves who kidnapped me, I have some questions I want to ask them personally, I wonder if the prince can take them out and hand them over to me to deal with?" ”

Xiao Zhi looked at Gray Ling, who understood, and said, "Second Miss, I'm afraid I don't know, only one of the two people on that day is still being detained in the yamen, and the other person has been."

was let out. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Zhi's eyes, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Is that Xu Erniang?" ”

Xiao Zhi bowed his head and confirmed her conjecture.

Shen Zhi was even more surprised in his heart, Ash Ling was Xiao Zhi's right-hand man, and Ash Ling asked for the prisoners to be imprisoned, and the official obviously didn't dare to let people out casually

。

But now that Xu Erniang has gone out, what's going on.

Either the official government couldn't convict Xu Erniang of the crime, so he had to let people out, or someone intervened and got Xu Erniang out, and the person who interfered could force him

If the official office lets go of the person who asked for the detention of Ash Ling, presumably the status must not be low.

Shen Zhi suddenly remembered that when he was kidnapped before, Li Da talked about the forces behind Xu Erniang, and suddenly had some vague guesses in his heart.

However, this speculation was only speculation, and she could not know more information for a while.

Shen Zhiwu fell into deep thought, and didn't notice that the man opposite had set his eyes on her at some point.

As the saying goes, if you look at a beauty under the lamp, the beauty will be three points more beautiful.

At this time, Shen Zhiwei leaned on the table, holding his cheeks and contemplating in thought, a wisp of green silk hung slightly on the side of his cheeks that could be broken by blowing, on his fair and delicate face, his eyebrows and eyes were calm, and he was slender and curly

The curled eyelashes trembled slightly like a black butterfly about to fly, casting fan-shaped shadows on the eyelids, and the delicate nose and small and plump red lips folded the original

The very stunning face is reflected by the candle lamp, and the person who looks at it can't take his eyes off it.

Xiao Zhi's gaze moved slightly, but it fell on Shen Zhi's eyes,

These eyes, every time Xiao Zhi looks at them, he will have a different feeling.

Black as a star, clear as a wash, at first glance, clean and not dusty, people will subconsciously relax their vigilance just by looking at it. But sometimes, I feel those eyes

Like a secluded pool, you can't see the bottom, as if all your thoughts and thoughts are firmly locked inside, and you can't spy on it.

What kind of experience should it be to make a woman in the boudoir who has not yet reached the end of her life have such a pair of eyes.

"Xu Erniang has a lot to do, but there is another person, this king can help you."

A voice as cool as water sounded in the room, Shen Zhi raised his eyes in surprise, and immediately reacted: "In this way, thank you very much." ”

Although Xu Erniang ran away, but with that Li Dagen here, are you still afraid that you won't get the information you want.

I don't know what kind of expression Shen Yun will have when she knows the news that Li Dagen suddenly disappeared from the yamen.

Shen Zhi thought of this, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but deepen.

After sending the people away, Gray Ling returned to the house and looked at the dishes that had not moved a few chopsticks, and asked, "Master, do you want to withdraw these?" ”

Xiao Zhi said: "Let's all go down." ”

"Yes." Gray Ling answered and called the little maid to come in and withdraw the dishes.

Every time someone comes to the palace, the master will be in a bad mood.

Although the Seven Princes were young and ignorant and didn't know anything, they shouldn't be angry with each other about the things back then, but looking at the innocent and carefree faces of the Seven Princes, think about it again

The master was the same age back then, but he suffered like that, and the master's feelings towards the Seven Princes must be very complicated.

This can be seen from the fact that I had dinner so late tonight and put down my chopsticks without moving a few chopsticks.

Gray Ling sighed secretly in her heart, this palace really needs a princess.

*****

Back in the Wutong Courtyard, Irihua had already sent the others away as usual, and only the two of them were waiting for her outside with Ichiko.

Seeing that she came back safely, the two couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While changing her clothes, she complained in a low voice: "Miss, every time you go out, you have to be scared, I'm afraid that Miss will meet you." ”

It's not the first time that such a complaint has been said in the painting, Shen Zhi knows the worry in her heart, but she also knows in her heart that it is impossible for her to take the painting out with her, one more person

Not to mention the danger, it is also more likely to arouse suspicion.

Seeing that he was about to talk about entering the painting, Shen Zhi changed the topic in time and said, "There is nothing else going on in the house tonight, right?" ”

"There is nothing else, it's just that the master went to Mrs. Rong's side to rest again."

When she heard this, she also interjected and added: "No, Mrs. Xu's side seems to have been completely forgotten by the master." ”

In addition to the Rong family, there is also a side lady Xu in the house.

This Xu family and the Rong family were accepted into the mansion one after another, but the Rong family used to use some tricks to create a gentle and caring appearance for themselves, so they were quickly obtained

Got Shen He's favor.

And Xu is the complete opposite, although his appearance was also first-class back then, but his personality was taciturn, and he would not bend his knees to meet him. After entering the mansion, unless Shen He is the master

Move the couch, otherwise he would not take the initiative to appear in front of Shen He, after the Rong family won Shen He's favor day by day, the Xu family was quickly forgotten by Shen He.

For so many years, Shen He would only go to Xu's courtyard once in a while when he thought about it, and he counted the number of times he stepped on it.

However, although the number of times Shen He stepped on it was small, it was maintained at about once a month, but during this time, as the Rong family's appearance became more and more gorgeous day by day, Shen

He seemed to have completely forgotten about Xu's person, and never went to Xu's courtyard again.

Zhuqin has always liked to inquire about gossip with other maids, so he knows more than he enters the painting, smacked his lips and said: "Mrs. Xu is also pitiful, it is said that it was back then."

As for the famous beauties in the capital, I don't know how many people envy and red-eyed after the old man entered the mansion, but he didn't expect to fall into such a miserable situation now. ”

"Miserable?" Shen Zhi's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically.

"That's right," she said, and then suddenly came to her senses, "Miss, you don't pay much attention to these things, and it's normal that you don't know." ”

As she spoke, she lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Slave maid, listen to those who like to gossip, Mrs. Rong seems to have been at odds with Mrs. Xu all along, that is

Mrs. Xu has never competed with her for favor for so many years, but those subordinates under Mrs. Rong always deliberately give Mrs. Xu a stumbling block, what food is not fresh, and the monthly routine is total

It's inexplicably less, or maybe there's no charcoal instead of silver charcoal in winter, that's all the time. ”

It's just that it's so openly and secretly, Mrs. Xu doesn't seem to care, and she doesn't hear anything outside the window, so the maids in her Mrs. Xu's yard are also very low-key.

I have little contact with the people in the house. ”

When he heard about the painting, he also said: "These slaves and maids have also heard of it, and there are still many people who are privately speculating about what happened to Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Xu back then."

Love. ”

"Something must have happened," Jin Qin nodded in agreement, "If it weren't for Mrs. Rong's acquiescence, where would those subordinates dare to get along with Mrs. Xu, you know."

Dao, no matter how unfavored she is, she is also a lady, and she is the master of the house. ”

At this time, when I entered the painting, I saw my young lady's slightly frowning and groaning expression, and couldn't help blurting out: "Miss, don't you have an impression of Mrs. Xu?" ”

Shen Zhi frowned, thought about it for a while, and only after half a ring did he turn out a few bits of memories about this Xu family from his memory.

In her previous life, she had met Xu a few times by chance, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, and Xu's eyes looking at her always had a bit of a complicated and difficult taste.

She was close to Shen Yun at that time, and was brainwashed by Shen Yun, so she had a preconceived bad impression of the Xu family, so every time she met the other party, she left in a hurry

, and the two don't seem to have had any communication.

After returning from rebirth, the other party never appeared in front of her, and the house basically never heard anything about the other party, and for a while she forgot that there was such a person in the house

。

Now that she asked about the painting, she vaguely remembered this person.

It's just that when she was recalling those few memories about the Xu family, she suddenly paused and suddenly discovered an extremely strange place.
