Shen called a subordinate from the garden to come over and asked him to lead Xue Nuo to carry things.

Xue Nuo followed the person out of the study with great gratitude, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Jiang Cheng behind him say: "Childe, there is news from the capital again, urging you to go back." ”

Shi An's voice also came: "The matter of the son's coming to Jiangnan has also been completed, the old lady's birthday is coming, if we don't get up again, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." ”

"I'm afraid I can't leave now, at least after the matter of the Hu family is over."

Shen Ke's voice was cold, like a jade on a plate, but it was extremely good.

He spoke unhurriedly, with the calmness and calmness of a son of a family, "Grandmother's birthday is still a while, and it won't be in the way if you delay going back for a few days, so take care of things here first." Shi An, you will send those people you rescued from the boat to the county government first. ”

"That Chai Chunhua ......"

Xue Nuo walked a little slower, listened to the words of the master and servant behind his ears, and turned his head when he saw them mention Chai Chunhua and didn't continue to listen.

Chai Chunhua should die, but he can't die yet, otherwise if something happens to him, the "trust" she and Shen Ke just established will fall apart, and the most important thing for her at the moment is to return to Beijing, as long as Shen Ke plans to return to Beijing, Chai Chunhua can slowly find another opportunity.

As for the Hu family's affairs, Xue Nuo was not worried at all.

The case of Hu Rong's abolition has been counted on Qiu Changqing's head, and now Qiu Changqing has run away, when he was incorporated into the Zhaoyun Fourteenth Cavalry, his real name and household registration have long been eliminated, and no one can find him at all, and Hu Rong's matter will only become a headless public case in the end.

On the contrary, it is the Hu family that is involved in the murder of people's lives is even more troublesome, Hu Rong has several lives on hand, and even Mrs. Hu killed one person under the cover, Hu Rong is unable to continue to ask for the crime in this situation now, and he can't pull a person who can't speak and his limbs are completely ruined into the prison for questioning.

The final result of this matter is probably that Mrs. Hu, who protects the cubs, is guilty of her life and dies, while the Hu family is to use money to eliminate the disaster, and give a large sum of money to appease the relatives of the deceased, and find a way to make them stop making trouble.

No matter what he thought in his heart, that Tao County Commander would only turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Childe?" After Shi An finished asking, he saw that Shen was suddenly distracted, and couldn't help but call him.

Shen glanced at Xue Nuo, who had already left in front of the door, and after retracting his gaze, he continued to say to Shi An and the others: "I originally wanted to leave Chai Chunhua in Qi Town and hand him over to the fourth prince by the hands of the Hu family, but now that something happens to the Hu family, it is obviously not possible. ”

He was disgusted with the actions of the Chengguo Mansion, and he was also disgusted with Chai Chunhua's forcible abduction of Xue Yu and her death.

At this time, even if Xue Nuo was not involved, he would not easily spare Chai Chunhua.

Shen said: "Bring Chai Chunhua back to the capital and send people directly to the Criminal Department, he was so unscrupulous when he kidnapped Xue Yu before, obviously this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, maybe there are other lives in his hands." ”

Shi An was surprised: "But Gongzi, he is from the Chengguo Mansion, if we send him back to the capital, then the Chengguo Mansion will ......."

"Do you think that if I don't bring him back to the capital, the Chengguo Mansion will not hold a grudge against me?" Shen squinted his eyes slightly and said coldly.

Originally, if Hu Shenglin could be persuaded to help hide the matter because he was afraid that his son would be involved, he could use him to summon Hu Shengquan and attract the four princes to attract the attention of the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes.

But now that there is such a big mess on the Hu family's side, Hu Shenglin will definitely tell the whole story when he sends a letter to Jingzhong, and he and Xue Nuo's sister and brother will naturally be mentioned.

The fourth prince is not a fool, and there is no shortage of shrewd people around him.

If he didn't hand over Chai Chunhua, the four princes would definitely attack the Shen family for colluding with the courtiers to shield the thieves, but once he handed over the people, offending the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes was a sure thing, as for leaving people in Qizhen and handing them over to Tao Ji, Shen didn't think about it.

If the four princes don't interfere, the Chengguo Mansion will either fish Chai Chunhua out to keep him safe, or kill people.

He promised Xue Nuo to seek justice for his sister, and he also owed Xue Wei.

Shen Ke lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a little gloomy: "I was afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, knowing that he was in a difficult situation in the capital and was unwilling to pull him into this matter, but now that it has reached this point, some things are unreasonable, rather than leaving people here to be grabbed by others, it is better to take the initiative to bring people back to the capital." ”

Chai Chunhua must be convicted, and he has to find a way to use this incident to tear off a layer of skin from the Chengguo Mansion and the Third Prince, so that they can not take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Shen family.

"You go and help Tao Ji and see if you can catch Qiu Changqing." Shen said.

Shi An and Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed.

……

Xue Nuo seemed to have completely forgotten the affairs of the Hu family, and she didn't have the slightest intention of inquiring, she moved directly to live in the ear room here, only separated by a wall from Shi An and Jiang Cheng.

After the salvage on the pier was no longer there, there was no news from the people searching along the shore.

As if he had accepted his fate, Xue Nuo went to the dock again, burned some paper money and clothes towards Lingjiang, and after kowtowing a few times, he never mentioned Xue Yu again when he came back to Liuyuan.

She stayed by Shen Ke's side as an errand boy, as if her energy was inexhaustible, she got up early every morning, cleaned up the house inside and out, and went to the kitchen to help Uncle Luo carry water for cooking, and then rushed to serve him with hot water at just the right temperature before Shen Ke got up.

Shen felt unaccustomed to seeing her standing in front of the bed when he first opened his eyes every day, but after three or five days, he slowly got used to it.

The child is good-looking, and no matter who he faces, he is always smiling and welcoming.

Maybe it's because she has a stable life, she rarely sees the anger when she first met in her eyes, and the peach blossom eyes look very affectionate with a smile from time to time, and she talks sweetly and pleasing people.

In two or three days, she coaxed Uncle Luo and a group of people including Uncle Luo to love her very much, and she also got along well with the guards in the courtyard.

Xue Nuo showed some cleverness, but it was just right not to be disgusting.

seems to have figured out Shen Qixi's habit of quietness, although she often follows behind him, she is not disturbing at all.

The weather is getting warmer, and the rainy season seems to be over.

The roses in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the branches climb around the rockery, and the wind blows a ripple.

When Shen sat in the pavilion and flipped through the letters sent from Beijing, he only felt a little thirsty, and when he was about to ask his subordinates to bring tea, a cup of tea with just the right temperature was handed over.

He glanced at the ingenious Xue Nuo, and couldn't help laughing: "You are so clever, you have been wronged by staying by my side." ”

Xue Nuo unhappily took off the rose petals that fell on his head, and muttered: "I am not wronged, I just want to stay with my son, and I won't go anywhere else!" ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Ke, "Childe, don't give me away, I'm so good-looking, Childe treats me as an ornament, it's good to rest when I'm tired of reading." ”

Shen was amused by her: "How can you boast of such an ornament?" Don't be ashamed. ”

"Then I'm already good-looking!"

Xue Nuo didn't move the word at all, and when he tilted his head slightly to look at Shen Qi, his peach blossom eyes were full of self-satisfaction,

"Childe doesn't know, my aunt said that I was more beautiful than other children when I was a child, well-behaved and sensible, and when my uncle and brother looked at me, they all shouted obediently, and stuffed me with any good things."

Shen glanced at her, she was indeed good-looking, she was well-behaved and sensible, and she didn't see it at all.

He asked, "Do you still have an uncle and brother?" ”

Xue Nuo paused: "It's gone, it's all dead." ”

Shen looked stunned, but before he could speak to comfort him, Xue Nuo seemed to have soothed himself, and the sadness dissipated, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"I don't lie to my son, I'm the best-looking cub in our family when I'm young, of course, it's still a little worse than my son."

She gestured and pinched the tips of her fingers, comparing them a little distance.

Shen saw her smiling heartlessly and pretending to be happy, thinking of Xue Yan who died in Lingjiang, and couldn't help but feel pity under guilt.

Seeing Xue Nuo smiling with a smile on his face, he suddenly reached out and rubbed her hair and said, "Well, you are the best-looking cub." ”

"My hair!" Xernoe screamed.

Shen continued to rub it.

"Childe!!"

The child covered his head and stomped his feet, so angry that his face became a bun.

Shen Ke laughed before withdrawing his hand, looking at Xue Nuo with a dull hair, and muttered in his heart: The head is quite round, but the hair is a little prickly, and this body is too thin, so I have to take care of it when I turn around.

When Xue Nuo covered his head and frantically wanted to chop off his hand, she couldn't help but shudder when she saw the nerd on the other side looking at her like her unknown father.

Look!
