Feng Shaojun waited outside the courtyard gate for a long time before seeing Shen You come out.
"Cousin You," Feng Shaojun stepped forward, looked at Shen You, and asked softly: "The little prince didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Shen You's mood was a little complicated at this time.
Far from being embarrassed.
Zhu Xi even repeatedly told him to treat his cousin Shaojun well.
This made him, who was full of energy to compete with his "love rival", hit the weightless and powerless cotton with one punch.
"No." Shen You replied in a low voice: "The little prince... is really beyond my expectation."
Looking at Shen You's reaction, Feng Shaojun also guessed a few things.
Princess Qin deliberately left a few palace attendants aside, so it was inconvenient to talk. Feng Shaojun didn't say much and only said: "I will send cousin You out of the house."
Shen You nodded.
Shen You is tall and has long legs, and he can take two steps as long as a girl. In order to accommodate Shaojun's cousin, Shen You slowed down his pace. The two walked side by side, but did not speak.
Just walked to the main entrance in silence.
Feng Shaojun stopped and looked up at Shen You: "Cousin You, don't forget to deliver the letter to Cui's house."
Shen You nodded slightly: "Take care of yourself. When are you going to leave Prince Qin's Mansion? Have someone deliver a letter to Prince Yan's Mansion."
Feng Shaojun watched Shen You get on his horse and ride away.
When Shen You goes to Cui's house, he will know that Cui Yuanhan has disappeared.
This was the first time she deliberately exposed her flaws in front of Shen You.
Will Shen You notice? Will he become suspicious of her? Will he discover her secret?
Her mood had never been so chaotic. She didn't even know why she suddenly had this idea.
She has been walking in the dark night for too long, and is used to being alone and showing herself to others with different identities. Her true self is hidden under layers of disguises.
She even vaguely hoped that Shen You could discover her secret...
Strange, she has never had the word conscience.
Why do you feel a little guilty about Shen You now?
"Miss, we should go back." Ji Xiang reminded him softly.
Feng Shaojun responded, glanced at the direction Shen You left, and turned back to the main courtyard unhurriedly.
After returning to the house, Jixiang closed the door and whispered: "I don't know what the young prince said to Fourth Young Master Shen."
Feng Shaojun was in a confused mood and said casually: "It doesn't matter what you say. After a while, we will leave Prince Qin's Mansion. No one can keep me."
After he finished speaking, he realized that his words did not match his words, so he cleared his throat in a covert manner: "I want to be alone for a while."
Jixiang had never seen his master look so absent-minded. After all, Zheng’s mother had lived for thirty years. She vaguely caught some glimpses and winked at Jixiang.
Ji Xiang had no choice but to shut up and retreated to the penthouse with Zheng's mother.
"Mother Zheng, tell me, why is our lady so wrong today?" Ji Xiang muttered in a low voice, "I have never seen my lady so upset before."
A smile flashed across Zheng's mother's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "Maybe the lady's conscience finally found out!"
Ji Xiang was confused.
What conscience discovery?
What bad things has the lady done?
etc!
A thought suddenly flashed through Ji Xiang's mind, and his watery almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened: "You mean, the lady is really interested in Mr. Shen..."
Mother Zheng raised the corners of her mouth slightly, covered her lips with her hands, and shushed softly.
Ji Xiang immediately covered his mouth with his hands and stopped talking. But his eyes shone with joy.
The marriage contract between the young lady and Mr. Shen is fake.
However, as long as there is love for each other, the fake can become real!
Feng Shaojun is not an ordinary girl, and is completely different from those ladies who live deep in the boudoir. She has many faces, is cunning and scheming, and has changeable thoughts. She will not stay in the boudoir honestly and peacefully in the future...
Thinking about it this way, I am really worried about the young lady's marriage! I just don't know if Shen You can accept the "real" Feng Shaojun.
Mother Zheng seemed to have guessed what Jixiang was thinking, and said softly: "Let's wait patiently and take a look."
Jixiang nodded vigorously.
…
Shen You rode his horse to Cui's house.
As soon as he got off the horse, Shen You felt something was wrong.
In the past, when visiting Cui's house, Cui Yuanhan would greet him warmly as soon as he passed the call.
Today he knocked on the door, but the concierge hesitated and made no move to invite him in.
Shen You suddenly had an unpleasant thought. Could it be that Princess Qin secretly sent someone to arrest Cui Yuanhan in order to coerce Feng Shaojun?
Shen You frowned and said in a cold voice, "Where is Cousin Cui?"
The concierge did not dare to tell the truth and said with a grimace: "Replying to the Master, I really don't know! I only know that our Master went out early in the morning a few days ago and never came back."
"The servants don't know the news about the young master, and they have no ability to go to Prince Qin's palace to report the news. They can only guard the house and wait for the young master or the cousin to come back."
Doubts arose in Shen You's heart, and he said calmly: "I'll go wait in Cousin Cui's study."
The marriage contract between Shen You and Feng Shaojun was fake, and only a few people knew about it. In the eyes of the concierge, this was his future cousin and a member of his family.
The concierge hurriedly opened the door and asked Shen You to come in.
Shen You came to Cui's house several times and was familiar with Cui Yuanhan's study, so he went straight into the study.
When Cui Yuanhan left, he only took his servant Chang Qing with him. He didn't take anything in the house with him. The study was as usual, except that it was extra quiet.
Shen You stood in the study room and looked around subconsciously. The study room had been cleaned cleanly, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But within this normality, there is something strange.
Where is Cui Wonhan?
Feng Shaojun originally said that he would leave the Prince of Qin's Mansion in ten days, but today he suddenly changed his mind and said that he would continue to stay in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. What is the reason for this?
Shen You stayed at Cui's house for half a day before returning to Shen's house.
When Da Feng saw Shen You suddenly coming back, he was a little surprised: "Why did you come back without Xiu Mu?"
Shen You responded briefly: "I have something important to do, so I took a day off specifically."
Da Feng didn't ask any more questions.
As the boy grew up day by day, he was not willing to listen to people nagging in his ears. Mr. Feng had raised several sons and had quite a lot of experience in this matter. He only said one thing: "Don't delay your errands."
Shen You nodded in agreement.
Five days ago, Shen You sent twenty guards out of the mansion to search for Xu's whereabouts. Half of these dozen guards went to Pingjiang Mansion, and there has been no news yet. The other half were searching around the capital.
However, the capital city is so big and there are so many people coming in and out every day. Finding the whereabouts of a person is like finding a needle in a haystack, which is not easy. For the past five days, the guards have been searching everywhere, but found nothing.
Shen You listened to the reports from the guards, his face slightly condensed: "Cousin from the Cui family disappeared three days ago."
"Pass my order to send ten more people to search for Cousin Cui's whereabouts."
