An unfamiliar and exciting heat surged in Shen You's chest.
Shaojun's cousin's face came to mind from time to time. His heart felt a little sour, but also a little sweet. He even wanted to turn around on his horse, rush into Prince Qin's palace, and take Shaojun's cousin away.
He used all his self-control to suppress this thought.
Shen You did not return to Shen Mansion and rode his horse to Cui Mansion.
Entering Cui's house, Shen You was not surprised to see Cui Yuanhan who looked anxious and haggard.
"Cousin Cui," Shen You went straight to the point and asked directly: "What did Princess Qin do secretly to make cousin Shaojun bow her head and submit?"
Without waiting for Cui Yuanhan to answer, he added: "There is no need to tell me those perfunctory words about others. I don't believe a word of it. I want to know the truth!"
Cui Yuanhan was speechless for a moment, then responded bitterly: "I'm sorry about that. My cousin Shaojun didn't allow me to say it, so I agreed to her."
Shen You: "..."
Shen You and Cui Yuanhan looked at each other.
After a while, Shen You opened his mouth again: "I ask, you nod or shake your head."
Cui Yuanhan held it in for a few days and almost fell ill. Even so, he still remembered Feng Shaojun's instructions: "I can't say. Cousin Shen, you'd better go back!"
Shen You stared at Cui Yuanhan and asked in a deep voice: "Did something happen to the Cui family?"
Cui Yuanhan neither nodded nor shook his head, but just urged Shen You to leave.
A sharp look flashed in Shen You's black eyes, and there was a trace of anger in his tone: "You didn't say anything, do you want Shaojun's cousin to be trapped in Prince Qin's Mansion?"
"You tell me, I will try my best to find a way to save cousin Shaojun."
"It's much better than sitting alone in Sleepy City now!"
"I am Shaojun's cousin's fiancé. Her business is my business."
Cui Yuanhan blurted out: "Isn't the engagement between you and Shaojun's cousin fake?"
Shen You: "..."
Cui Yuanhan: "..."
There was another awkward silence and they looked at each other.
Shen You said nothing, only looked at Cui Yuanhan steadily.
Cui Yuanhan, who said the wrong thing, wanted to give himself a slap in the face. Why was he so out of control? In a moment of excitement, he said all the things he shouldn't have said!
How does this end?
Cui Yuanhan smiled dryly: "I just said it casually, please don't take it seriously."
Shen You said: "You are right. The engagement I made with Shaojun's cousin is a temporary measure. However, once we get engaged, I will be her fiancé. I cannot stand by and watch her affairs."
Shen You was neither impassioned nor swearing to heaven. He just spoke calmly.
But no one can doubt the weight of these words.
Cui Yuanhan felt his blood surge, and he suddenly became excited: "Well said! A man should have this responsibility!"
"Cousin Shen, from today on, you will be my future cousin-in-law."
So, can you tell me?
Shen You asked with his eyes.
Cui Yuanhan tugged his hair hard and quickly made up his mind: "Just as you said before. If you ask, I will nod or shake my head. In the future, when Shaojun's cousin asks, you will guess it yourself. I won't say a word anyway. Didn’t even say anything.”
Shen You: "..."
This Cui Yuanhan really obeyed Shaojun's cousin.
Shen You twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to waste time, and immediately asked: "Did Princess Qin secretly arrest a very important person to blackmail Shaojun's cousin?"
Cui Yuanhan nodded, with deep sorrow and anger flashing in his eyes.
Shen You knew clearly: "That person is not the Feng family, but the Cui family?"
Cui Yuanhan continued to nod.
A cold light flashed in Shen You's eyes, and he said slowly: "Is she Shaojun's grandmother?"
Cui Yuanhan's nose felt sore, and tears almost came out of his eyes.
Shen You completely understood.
A fierce anger surged into my heart.
If someone threatened the lives of Shen Mao's family, he would have no choice but to bow his head.
As far as Feng Shaojun is concerned, her grandmother Xu is the elder who loves her the most and the closest person in her life. Princess Qin is vicious and vicious, and is really despicable and hateful.
Shen You took a deep breath and whispered: "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue my cousin from Prince Qin's Mansion."
Cui Yuanhan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and lowered his voice and said: "Don't rush this matter, so as not to hurt your cousin. You must be cautious."
Shen You nodded.
…
Shen You returned to Shen's mansion before noon.
Mrs. Feng had been thinking about it for a long time. When she saw Shen You coming back, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Shen You was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to worry Mr. Feng, so he responded casually.
Shen Jia also came over: "Fourth brother, where have you been today?"
There is nothing that can't be said now. Shen You replied: "I went to Prince Qin's Mansion and met Shaojun's cousin."
Shen Jia was startled and blurted out: "Why is Shaojun's cousin in Prince Qin's Mansion?"
Mrs. Da Feng sighed: "You are working in Prince Yan's Mansion every day, so there are some things that I can't tell you. The Queen of Qin recognized the young master as her adopted daughter, and even held a banquet to recognize her."
Shen Jia was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
Shen You tightened his thin lips.
Da Feng glanced at Shen You and said softly: "Silang, since you and Shaojun have an engagement, you can't do such treacherous things. Shaojun has some reasons for staying in Prince Qin's palace."
"That little prince has been lying on the bed feeling sick all day long. He doesn't know how many days he has left to live. Even if Shaojun is with him occasionally, it's nothing."
"If there are any rumors in the future, don't take it to heart. Don't even think about breaking off the engagement."
Shen You nodded.
Shen Jia suppressed her anger, and sparks shot up in her eyes: "This Princess Qin has gone too far! There is no reason for a girl to accompany the young prince's sick bed. This is not only bullying Shaojun's cousin, but also Insulting the fourth brother..."
Shen You glanced at Shen Jia.
Shen Jia then stopped talking.
Shen You said to Dafeng: "Auntie, I want to use the guards in the mansion to do something."
Da Feng immediately said: "If you have anything to do, just ask the guards to do it. There is no need to worry."
Didn't even ask him what he was going to do.
Shen You felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He lost his biological father before he was born, and his biological mother remarried early, so the relationship was shallow. However, his second uncle and aunt treated him extremely well.
Shen Jia came over and said, "Fourth brother, I will go with you."
But Shen You said: "What I have to do is very important. You don't have to talk about it, so don't mess with it."
Shen Jia felt as if he had been struck by lightning: "Fourth brother, how could you say that to me!"
After Shen You left, Shen Jia complained to Da Feng with a sad face: "Mother, look at Si Lang, I want to help him. He doesn't appreciate it at all, and he dislikes me in every possible way!"
Mrs. Da Feng also looked at her son with disgust: "Silang is absolutely right."
