The man's face is very handsome. Even though he is looking embarrassed at the moment, it does not detract from his elegance and beauty, but adds to the beauty of war damage.
More importantly, at first glance, Chen Yunqi thought he was seeing the cold Mr. Shen.
Their facial features are very similar, but they can be easily distinguished. Their temperaments are very different.
Mr. Shen is an upright and upright person, with dignity and authority. Do not approach strangers, but watch from a distance.
As for this man, he is too sick and weak. His skin color is very white, almost blue. After being wetted with water, the white color becomes more dignified. It is completely different from Mr. Shen's jade-like moist white color.
Zhao Ning frowned the moment Chen Yunqi looked over and signaled the guards to put the sack back on Shen Chen's head.
Shen Xu raised her hand to block it: "Madam Zhao, this is over."
"I'm protecting you." Zhao Ning said.
"I am not your criminal. You should let me go and send me back immediately."
"You have to ask Ali."
"It's Ah Li again!" Shen Shu couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes filled with anger, "Even the biggest official in Hengxiang cannot be lawless, what does an Ah Li mean?"
"Officer? Do I take it seriously?"
"Madam Zhao," Shen Xu took a step forward, "There is no conflict between you and me, and my cousin and my brother are both on good terms with you, so there is no need for you to have a quarrel with me!"
"Your cousin?" Mrs. Qu was curious, "Who?"
Shen Xu glanced at her and didn't answer.
Zhao Ning didn't say anything either.
"Let me go." Shen Xu gritted his teeth and said.
"You have to ask Ah Li." Zhao Ning still said the same thing.
Shen Xu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and the cough that had just subsided suddenly broke out again, causing his whole body to bend.
The guards who went to prepare the room and clothes soon returned, and Zhao Ning sent Shen Xu back upstairs.
Shen Xu refused to leave, so the guard had no choice but to step forward and take his arm to turn around.
"Don't touch me!" Shen Xu used her arms to break away from Konoe's hand.
The words were spoken too hastily, causing another burst of coughing.
The guards did not touch him.
Shen Xu turned around on his own and raised his eyebrows to see Chen Yunqi standing under the eaves on the right.
The guards who came down with Chen Yunqi did not leave immediately. Because they happened to pass by, Chen Yunqi accidentally saw Shen Shu's face. The guards were afraid that Zhao Ning's arrangements would change.
After all, Zhao Ning didn't want too many people to know Shen Shu's identity.
Chen Yunqi's eyes were still on Shen Xu. Looking at him like this, Chen Yunqi could see his features more clearly.
The disgust and anger towards Zhao Ning had not faded from Shen Shu's eyes. When she saw Chen Yunqi, Shen Shu's eyes narrowed slightly and she looked back coldly.
Zhao Ning looked at Chen Yunqi.
"Let's go." The guard beside Chen Yunqi said sternly.
Before going up the stairs, Shen Xu stopped and looked back.
The girl who stopped in front of Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu was slim and slim, with an extremely graceful back.
If I hadn't seen her face first and seen her and Mrs. Zhao Ningqu standing together like this, I might have thought it was that annoying person.
so similar……
But judging from her appearance, she doesn't look like a guest, but she is also a "prisoner" like him?
No, I feel angry just thinking about this.
Shen Xu felt a tightness in her chest, and was so aggrieved that she coughed crazily.
Chen Yunqi lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu.
She had met Zhao Ning since the day she was sent to Hengxiang by Zhai Jinsheng. During this period of time she lived here, she had never seen anyone except the servant girl who brought food, water and clean clothes every day.
The days she lived in Ning'an Building were very different from the prison life she imagined. Although Mrs. Zhao ignored her, she did not criticize her harshly, abuse her, or insult her. She seemed to be forgotten in Ning'an. Building.
"Guiyuan Inn is Tian Dayao's deployment in Hengxiang," Zhao Ning said coldly, "I will hand you back to them for their disposal."
Chen Yunqi's nails dug into the palms of her hands and she nodded slightly.
"I will take care of it a little. After you reply to the letter, you can send a letter back to Hengxiang. If someone bullies you and insults you on the road, you can write it down in the letter." Zhao Ning added.
Chen Yunqi's beautiful eyes widened slightly, a bit unbelievable.
After a pause, Chen Yunqi leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Madam Zhao, for taking care of me."
"Take her away." Zhao Ning looked at Konoe.
Nie Huimo's people were waiting outside. The clean clothes and pastries that Zhao Ning had ordered before were also prepared by the two aunts and were waiting.
Looking at Chen Yunqi, Zhao Ning said calmly: "I am helping a woman, not Chen Yunqi."
"I didn't ask anything." Mrs. Qu said.
Zhao Ning lowered his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
The snow has stopped, and the chill of the snow passes through the warm soft boots. Although it is cold, it is very sober.
"After standing for so long, no matter how good your boots are, they are not warm," Mrs. Qu said in a nonchalant tone. "I was originally going to Dongping Academy to look for Ah Li, but when I got on the carriage, so many things happened."
"As long as everyone is fine, if the house burns, burn it." Zhao Ning said, turned around and walked towards the carriage.
In the backyard alley, the carriage had been parked for a long time, and the maids and aunts were waiting for them. Everyone stood along the eaves of the outer wall, huddled in the cold.
Before getting on the carriage, Zhao Ning turned to look at the innermost house in the deep alley.
In the gray sky, even the wind seems to have color, the pale snow quietly covers the low walls and courtyard doors, and the winter wind whines.
At the scene of the murder, the neighborhood was the most uneasy, so the neighbors all posted symbols to ward off evil spirits. On such a cold day, mugwort and peach branches were obtained from nowhere, and were stuck on the outside of the wall with glutinous rice glue.
Zhao Ning took a deep look and got into the carriage.
Mrs. Qu sat next to her, moved her lips, and finally gave up. She just added a soft pillow behind Zhao Ning's injured shoulder blade for her to lean on.
The carriage moved forward at a very slow speed towards Dongping Academy.
At the other end, Xia Zhaoyi's horse crossed the long street and headed towards Ning'an Building. However, when it reached a pawn shop, she suddenly reined in the horse and stopped.
The streets were already deserted, but she was riding a tall horse, attracting quite a lot of attention.
The pawnbroker noticed someone outside and called the clerk to take a look.
The waiter looked out through the narrow opening of the high counter and saw a horse's legs, so he walked around the counter and opened the door to go out.
As soon as I came out, I saw a girl walking towards me, her lake-like eyes filled with a smile: "Brother, I'm here to inquire about something!"
A girl with good looks and a nice smile seemed to be blowing in the spring breeze even in the cold winter. The guy felt very comfortable: "Tell me, girl, what do you want to ask about?"
The court official on the pawn cabinet also lowered his head and heard the voice.
"There is a man named Mo Haizhu. Has he ever worked as a pearl here?"
"Well," the clerk smiled, "Girl, I can't tell you this. There are rules in our industry. Look at this board!"
The clerk patted the wooden board in front of the big counter: "This is called a shame board!"
"Then, what if I am someone he knows?"
"Acquaintance, right?"
"right."
The guy thinks that this girl looks a bit stupid despite being so smart.
"That's not possible," said the waiter. "It's not allowed to be told by acquaintances."
"Where's my sister?"
"Hahaha..." The guy smiled and waved his hand, signaling her to go.
"Then, where is the wife?"
"You?" The clerk looked her up and down, "Mo Haizhu's wife?"
