Mrs. Shen's maiden surname is Zou, she is a member of the Xiaohe Wang clan, and she also has a clan branch in Beijing.

She helped Shen to go back to Flynn Courtyard, and when she heard the movement next door from a distance, she couldn't help but ask: "Is that child a guest you brought back, and how do you settle people in Flynn Courtyard?" ”

There are people coming and going in the backyard, and there are female dependents, even if Xue Nuo looks young, but after all, it is inconvenient for men.

If you are a guest, it is good to settle in the outer courtyard.

Shen turned to her and said, "Arnold is not a guest, I plan to keep him in the mansion in the future." ”

He whispered to Zou about Xue Nuo's situation, and only concealed that he went to Jiangnan for Xue Nuo, and did not tell her anything else about Xue Nuo, only that he met Xue Nuo by accident in Jiangnan and accidentally killed Xue Nuo into the water, and later Xue Nuo was implicated and scolded by Xu Lizhen.

Zou was suddenly shocked: "That child's sister died because of you?" ”

Shen pursed his lips: "Although the main reason is not me, I am somewhat responsible." ”

"And you're still keeping him around?"

"He has no relatives in Jiangnan, and he has nowhere to go after the disaster at home, and his mother has seen his face, and his sister will have an accident because she is too good to be coveted, if I don't want him, what situation will he fall into?"

I was afraid that the Zou family would react in his heart, and then he would be prejudiced against Xue Nuo.

Shen said softly: "Mother, Arnold's nature is not bad, and he is also smart. ”

"If he hadn't discovered it in time when I was in Jiangnan before, I'm afraid I would have fallen into Xu Lizhen's calculations and pulled our Shen family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the muddy waters of Caoyun."

"Later, when Xu Lizhen was annoyed and ashamed and made a move on me, he stayed awake all night to take care of me, which saved my life."

He has a gentle expression, and when he speaks, his voice is not hurried or slow, which is convincing,

"Arnold is actually a very well-behaved child, but no one taught him before, in the future, I will leave him in the Shen family, I will teach him well, with his talent, it will not be difficult to gain fame in the future."

"The Shen family does not lack a ration, so we should leave a good fate for our Shen family, and we should also make up for my debt to his sister."

Zou listened to the eldest son's words, thinking about the child's overly good-looking face.

Even if she saw a lot of beauties in the capital, she was still a little worse than that child, and even the famous and good-looking little boy in King Kang's Mansion was inferior to Xue Nuo.

Zou is not a woman who does not understand sinisterness, and knows very well what will happen if she is too good-looking but has no protection, and besides, the child looked very well-behaved just now.

She sighed lightly: "I'm worried about your safety, if he remembers his sister's affairs......"

"No, if she wanted to hurt me, she would have hurt me a long time ago."

Seeing that Shen was sure of what he said, Zou didn't say anything more: "Since you say so, then let him stay first, there are more relatives in the house, and I will tell the people below to take care of it." ”

Shen said gratefully: "Thank you, mother." ”

Zou sat him on the edge of the bed and looked at the wound on his back.

After more than ten days, the original shocking injury has been much better, but despite this, Zou Shi looked at the scabbed places and the swollen marks that had not completely faded, and his eyes were still red.

"You kid, you said that you were going to visit the old man for the prince, how did you get involved in such a dangerous thing." God knows when the news came back, she almost fainted.

Shen put on his clothes before saying: "I didn't expect to run into this kind of thing, it happened suddenly, and it was a matter of human life, I can't sit idly by, but fortunately, things went smoothly in the end, and there was no big mess." ”

"You still say!" Zou patted him lightly, "It's all beaten like this, and there hasn't been a mess yet." ”

Shen smiled and didn't speak.

With the situation at that time, it was already a very cost-effective deal to exchange a few sticks for not falling into Xu Lizhen's hands and to take out the Shen family and the prince.

The Zou family is not unaware of the importance of the matter, his husband and father-in-law have chosen the prince, and the son is the prince's companion, and the future of the Shen family has long been tied to the prince.

She also understands that if Shen Qi bumps into this matter, if she turns a blind eye or lets it develop, if it is found out that the prince is implicated in the future, it will be a big deal, and with the relationship between Xu Lizhen and the Shen family, once he catches the handle, it will be a big trouble.

Zou only complained a few words verbally, and then hurriedly asked people to send clean clothes for Shen and invited the doctor to come over.

Shen was originally injured by the skin, not his muscles and bones, and the doctor said that he would not be in the way for a while, so Zou was relieved.

Zou knew that he had come back from a long journey, and he had not stayed long in the Flynn Courtyard, but he knew that Shen was fine, and after talking to him for a while, he left, and as soon as he arrived outside the door, he saw the young man who was squatting there in front of the courtyard gate, poking around on the ground with a branch in his hand.

"Ma'am, it's Xue Nuo."

Chunzhu, the personal envoy beside the Zou family, said in a low voice.

Xue Nuo turned around when he heard the movement, and when he saw Zou coming over, he hurriedly threw away the things in his hand and stood up: "Madam." ”

Zou Shi said softly: "Why do you stay here and don't go in?" ”

Xue Nuo's expression was a little restrained: "I heard the people in the courtyard say that Madame is still inside, thinking that Childe has not come back for so long, Madame is afraid that she has something to say to Childe, and it is not good for me to go in." ”

It's a funny and polite person.

Zou Shi's eyes were gentle, no one would not like a polite and good-looking child, her eyes fell on Xue Nuo's hand that was a little nervous holding her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous." ”

"I heard Changyuan say about you, since you have fallen in love with him, you will live here with peace of mind in the future, just treat this place as your home, if there is anything short and missing, just tell the house, if Changyuan can't take care of it, you will come to me, you know?"

Xue Nuo smiled sheepishly: "Thank you, madam." ”

After Zou left, she ran into the house with a smoke.

Shen saw that she had changed her clothes, her hair had been tied back and the headband had been changed, and the slightly loose moon-white brocade dress made her look more and more beautiful.

He beckoned to Xue Nuo, and only after waiting for someone to pass over did he ask, "How is it, is the accommodation still satisfactory?" ”

Xue Nuo looked at him: "Childe, I'm here to be a slave for you, how can a slave live in a yard by himself?" ”

Although it is a small cross-courtyard, but she has just seen it, the four corners of the courtyard are complete, and even the furnishings are excellent, except that it is connected to a hanging flower door with Flynn Courtyard, there is a small piece of bamboo in the middle, and the courtyard wall over there is slightly shorter than the Flynn Courtyard, and there is no difference from a separate courtyard.

She climbed the wall of the Shen family's courtyard when she was a child, and knew that although the Shen family was big, it was not so big that any subordinate could live in a courtyard, and the clothes sent by Jiang Cheng just now were also good Yunjin materials, which were the same as those on Shen Qi's body.

Xue Nuo stretched out his sleeves and said, "This dress shouldn't be worn by me, it's too expensive." She wrinkled her nose and said a little childishly, "If this is broken, I can't afford to pay for it." ”

Shen was amused by her: "Haven't you already sold it to me, who else do you want to sell?" ”
