Chapter 16: Shyness

Tian Ze raised his head: "What does the master mean?" ”

"During this time, you are responsible for keeping her safe first." Shen Silent played with the jade pendant in his hand and commanded loudly.

Hearing this, Tian Ze was obviously a little reluctant: "Master, the duty of my subordinates is to protect you. ”

"It's an order." Shen Silent frowned, and his tone of voice suddenly became dark.

Tian Ze hung his head helplessly: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"Has Xia Zhu's identity been found out?" Shen Silent turned around and walked up to Ruofeng.

Ruofeng reported word by word: "This person is the daughter of Jiangnan Chengxing Dart Bureau, and she is a very good friend with Miss Shen." ”

"What is the purpose of her stay in Shangjing?" Shen Silent then asked.

Facing the master's cold gaze, Ruofeng stammered: "She stayed here, it seems that she is looking for some enemy." ”

Thinking of the little girl's crying that day, Shen Silent was sure of something.

The enemy Xia Zhu wants to find may also be Shen Zhiyi's enemy.

The two of them, most likely, are seeking revenge for the same person.

——

Inside Dali Temple.

After dealing with the prisoner, Ji Yuan put down the torture instrument in his hand and went straight to the backyard.

"It's strange, how do you have time to come to me for tea?"

Shen Si sat down and said bluntly, "I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"Say, if there is anything that can make the dignified Marquis Shen come over in person." Ji Yuan sat on the stone bench, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Shen Silent said lightly: "A friend of my sister wants you to help check something." ”

"When did you become so helpful?" Ji Yuan held his cheek with one hand and looked at him with interest on his face.

Shen Si didn't talk nonsense: "You don't have to worry about this, you can fully cooperate with what she wants to check." ”

With that said, he added.

"Also, I need you to get some useful information out of her mouth."

Ji Yuan understood what he meant, and simply agreed: "Okay, I know." ”

Night falls.

Shen Jing, who returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saw the girl standing at the door as soon as he got off the sedan chair.

She was dressed in a peach-pink skirt, and her pretty and charming little face was full of anxiety.

"What you promised me ......"

Shen walked to her side slowly: "I have already said hello to Dali Temple." ”

"Great." Shen Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

Looking at her excited appearance, Shen Silent couldn't help but bend her lips: "Go, accompany me to the study." ”

"Okay." Shen Zhiyi sped up and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

Next to the bookcase, she was already proficient in ink grinding skills, and she completed the task in a short time.

In his spare time, Shen Zhiyi tilted his head and asked him very earnestly: "Do you want to drink tea?" ”

The boy shook his head.

"No, you don't."

Shen Zhiyi pouted unwillingly: "Then I'll help you clean up the study?" ”

"These are the work of subordinates, and you don't need to do it." Shen Shi looked at the paperwork in his hand, and didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.

Seeing that he didn't want to take care of himself, Shen Zhiyi sat aside very interestingly.

Knowing that she was bored, Shen Silent pointed to the cabinet behind her: "There are things you like to see inside, go get them yourself." ”

Seeing the thick book on it, Shen Zhiyi was extremely shocked.

"Would you look at this kind of thing too?"

Of course, Shen Silent would not say that these were specially prepared for her.

He lowered his head and made an excuse at random: "A friend sent it, I haven't seen it." ”

"Uh-oh."

Obviously, Shen Zhiyi did not doubt what Shen Xiao said.

She carefully selected one, and it didn't take long for her to be fascinated.

After dealing with official business, Shen Silent unconsciously shifted his attention to the girl.

The study was well lit, and he could catch a good eye on her reaction.

Maybe Shen Shi's gaze was too hot, and Shen Zhiyi, who sensed that something was wrong, quietly closed the script: "Is there something on my face?" ”

"Nope." The corners of Shen Silence's lips were lightly raised, and he tilted his head slightly.

Shen Zhiyi asked him, "Then what are you laughing at?" ”

"Laugh at you for looking stupid, like a stupid cat." Shen Silent leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with a playful face.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Hey, where am I stupid!" ”

"It's getting late, so you can have dinner with me today." Shen Silent stood up and changed the topic lightly.

Shen Zhiyi stretched his waist and decisively agreed: "Okay." ”

After a while, the people in the small kitchen delivered the food to the temple.

Since Shen Jing usually eats relatively light, most of the dishes on the table are vegetarian dishes.

Shen Zhiyi, who has always been happy without meat, pounded the rice with chopsticks with lack of interest.

Seeing that she hadn't eaten a bite of food, Shen Silent called the little guy who was guarding the door: "You go and ask the kitchen people to prepare a few more meat dishes." ”

"Yes." The little guy saluted and left quickly.

As soon as he heard this, Shen Zhiyi suddenly had a spirit.

She tilted her head and swallowed, her pretty apricot eyes shining with seduction.

Shen Shi couldn't hold back, raised his hand and pinched the little girl's white and tender cheeks: "It's not a good habit to be picky eaters, and you have to eat some vegetables." ”

"Okay." Forced by his majesty, Shen Zhiyi reluctantly took a piece of green vegetables and sent it into his mouth.

This action directly made Shen Silent laugh: "What, I'm afraid that the dish is poisonous?" ”

"Nope." Shen Zhiyi lowered his head, his face painful.

Shen Si picked up the chopsticks, took a slice of cucumber and sent it to her mouth: "Then eat more." ”

The girl obediently opened her small mouth, and the tip of her pink tongue was exposed to the silent sight.

At this scene, his mouth was dry.

The cucumber is very refreshing, and the sour and spicy taste gives an amazing feeling.

This made Shen Zhiyi, who has never liked to eat vegetables, a little surprised: "It's delicious." ”

"Really?" Shen Silent also took a slice and put it directly into his mouth.

Well, it's delicious.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, he has always loved cleanliness and did not change his chopsticks.

Shen Zhiyi, who reacted, widened his eyes: "You ...... just now"

Feeling ashamed, she didn't continue.

"What's wrong?" Shen Silent asked her suspiciously.

Shen Zhiyi looked unnatural and said, "I suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach, so I lost my company." ”

When she had said this, she fled.

"Tsk, it's still so easy to be shy." Shen Silent narrowed his eyes, and there was a little helplessness in his words.

Half an hour passed.

The little guy who came back from the kitchen carried the lunch box in his hand and stood outside the door respectfully: "Master Hou, the dish is ready." ”

Shen Silent pursed his lips and lowered his voice.

"Let's send it to the Sunset Courtyard."

Only then did the little girl understand that these dishes were specially made for Miss Shen.

I really didn't expect that the daughter of a concubine could be so valued by the Hou Ye......

Inside the precincts in the morning setting.

Jiang Nian took the thing handed over by the little servant with a shocked face: "This is?" ”

"Master Hou asked me to send it to Miss Shen." The little guy bent down with a flattering smile on his face.

On weekdays, this little guy waits by Shen Silence's side, and his eyes are always above the top.

This was the first time Jiang Nian had seen him so polite.
