In Cui's house on Hulu Street in Mingzhaofang, Cui Yuanhan, with a haggard face and red eyes, looked at Feng Shaojun intently: "Cousin, where have you been these past two days?"
In the afternoon the day before yesterday, Feng Shaojun took Jixiang out.
Before evening, Jixiang came back alone, and he also brought a message from his master.
"I have something important to do, and I may have to come back in two or three days. Cousin, don't worry."
Can Cui Wonhan not be anxious?
A girl who had not left the house suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts were unknown. She did not come back for one night and two days. He was so anxious that he almost polished the jade floor in the house, okay?
Who did my cousin meet? Where did she go? What did she do?
Will my cousin encounter bad guys and be kidnapped out of the capital, or will she be spotted by some noble person and forced to stay in the house?
Even if her innocence is not lost, if the girl stays out all night, what kind of reputation will she have once word gets out?
For two days and one night, Cui Yuanhan couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. He was exhausted mentally and physically.
Feng Shaojun looked at his cousin with a handsome and haggard face, feeling ashamed, and whispered: "I'm sorry, cousin. It's really inconvenient for me to tell you what I did."
Cui Yuanhan: "..."
Cui Yuanhan stared at Feng Shaojun closely.
Feng Shaojun looked back calmly.
After a long time, Cui Yuanhan sighed in frustration and rubbed his sore temples with his hands: "Cousin, after entering the capital, you became too much."
"As my cousin, I don't want to control you. I am worried that you will meet evil people or be deceived."
"You are smarter than me. But after all, you are a girl, so you have to worry about your reputation. You just go out during the day and don't come back at night. If others find out about this, how will you get married in the future?"
Feng Shaojun also found it difficult to face his cousin who really cared about him.
She joined King Yan and became a secret agent in Jinyi. The first priority was to keep her identity secret and never reveal it to anyone.
However, her cousin was so anxious and anxious because he loved and protected her. How could she not appreciate it?
Feng Shaojun pretended to smile briskly and said: "Don't worry, cousin. If I can't get married in the future, I will rely on Shen You to hold on. Anyway, I have an engagement with him!"
Cui Yuanhan reminded with laughter and tears: "This engagement is fake."
Feng Shaojun said casually: "It can become real at any time!"
Cui Yuanhan: "..."
Cui Yuanhan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and after a while he said: "Shen You met you, I really don't know if it was his luck or a fate that struck him!"
"Cousin, what you said is a bit too much!" Feng Shaojun spat at him with a smile: "Of course he was lucky enough to be chosen by me."
Unfortunately, Cui Yuanhan was worried, and even a few jokes could not relieve his anxiety. He quickly asked: "Will you go out to 'do things' like this again in the future?"
Feng Shaojun hummed: "Not only will I go out, but the time is uncertain, and I don't know when I will come back. It may be one or two days, three or five days, or ten or eight days."
When doing internal affairs, it was common for her to disappear for ten and a half days. In her previous life, she lurked in Prince Qin's palace and could only leave the palace once every two months.
However, at that time, she was alone, without worries, and no one would ask about her whereabouts.
She has a total of seven residences in the capital. The one on the outside is the residence of "Eunuch Feng". The other six private residences are distributed throughout the inner city and the outer city.
When she was seriously ill in her previous life, she stayed alone in a secluded small house with two doors, calmly waiting for the moment to close her eyes. There was only a bought-in woman beside her.
She was used to living a carefree life, and seeing her worried cousin in front of her with eyes full of concern not only touched her heart, but also made her a little embarrassed.
Feng Shaojun hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My cousin sent me to the capital, and it was a hard journey. Now that I have settled down, why not go back to Pingjiang Mansion!"
When Cui Yuanhan heard this, he was sad and angry, and his voice was trembling: "Are you trying to drive me away?"
The look in her eyes was like that of an abandoned woman looking at a heartless and heartless man.
Feng Shaojun was amused and laughed, and then said seriously: "Cousin, I really have something to hide. I want to do something big. I have no time to care about anything else, I can only go all out."
"My cousin staying in the capital will make me worried and distracted. Secondly, I'm also afraid that my cousin will be implicated..."
"I'm not afraid!" Cui Yuanhan took over without thinking.
"But I'm afraid." Feng Shaojun said softly, "I'm afraid of hurting my cousin, and I'm also afraid of hurting the Cui family."
"Cousin, you go back! Go back to Pingjiang Mansion, get a wife and have children, and be filial to my grandmother and uncle. Do your part of your filial piety on my behalf."
Hearing these words, the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
Cui Yuanhan's brows were almost knitted into knots.
However, Feng Shaojun is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and is very independent.
She didn't want to say anything, no matter who asked her in every possible way, she would never open her mouth.
The two looked at each other. After a long time, Cui Yuanhan said: "If you don't want to say it, I will never ask you again. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here. Guarding the house and taking care of some trivial matters. When will you
After settling down, getting married and having children, when will I go back?"
"cousin……"
"I can't convince you, so don't try to convince me." Cui Yuanhan said firmly: "I will write to my father and tell him that I will live in the capital permanently. By the way, I will find a suitable shop in the capital and sell the Cui family's fabrics.
Bring your business to the capital."
Before Feng Shaojun could open his mouth, Cui Yuanhan covered his ears and left.
Feng Shaojun: "..."
Feng Shaojun was helpless and funny, and felt warm in his heart.
No one knows better than her what it's like to walk alone in the dark night. She is not afraid of darkness or danger. However, occasionally she is tired and vulnerable.
That's all, my cousin doesn't want to leave now, so let him stay for a while.
I will think of ways to persuade him to return to Pingjiang Mansion later.
…
In the next few days, Cui Yuanhan was always on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, Feng Shaojun has been staying peacefully in the house and has not "went out to do business."
Cui Yuanhan gradually relaxed and told Feng Shaojun about the major case that shocked the capital recently: "...I heard that the Ministry of Punishment tried a major case, and a man named Tian Kun was sentenced to death by His Highness King Yan."
"This Tian Kun, relying on the power of Concubine Shu, went around doing evil things. He was engaged in the business of kidnapping and selling young children and girls. The number of women and children who died in his hands must be eighty if not a hundred."
"Tian Kun will be beheaded and his house will be ransacked. The people are happy to hear this!"
Cui Yuanhan was very considerate, fearing that his cousin would get bored staying at home, so he told Feng Shaojun about Tian Kun's case to relieve his boredom.
Feng Shaojun listened with a smile and asked by the way: "How did this Tian Kun plead guilty?"
Cui Yuanhan said with excitement: "This is even more exciting. Let my cousin explain it to you slowly. It is said that this has something to do with Concubine Shu's personal maid in the palace..."
