Fu Jingchao explained angrily and funnyly, "It was really an accident. The news leaked out from nowhere. I had no intention of tricking you."
Shen Xingwan was just a little angry and said that casually. Fu Jingchao really wouldn't cheat her now, it would be no good for him.
"You'd better not have one, or I'll let Fat Cat scratch you to death."
Fat Meow: Meow...pretending to be dead.
"The situation is more complicated than imagined. Two of the four major families have been eliminated." Fu Jingchao said with a headache, "The water is getting muddier."
"Is it too late for me to quit now?" Shen Xingwan lay weakly on the table, speechless.
Fu Jingchao raised his eyebrows and said, "You have no regrets, and you have been targeted."
Shen Xingwan wailed, "Whose fault is this? Anyway, you are responsible. If I die, I will definitely drag you to the funeral."
Fu Jingchao saw that she still had the strength to fight him, and he guessed that she was not frightened. He felt inexplicably relieved, "If you really die, I will definitely avenge you, and I won't let your death be in vain. Don't worry...
"
"Thank you, Crow Mouth, you'd better die on your own." Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes.
The two of them talked nonsense, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot. Shen Xingwan began to care about business, "What is the situation? Is Senior Sister still alive?"
Fu Jingchao lowered his head and looked at his hands. They were stained with a lot of blood tonight after a long absence.
"In the melee, at least the three parties ended. Zhou Meidai was slightly injured, but nothing serious."
This is good news among the misfortunes, as long as people are still alive.
Although it was Zhou Meidai who faced the encirclement and suppression, Shen Xingwan was not in a good mood and was very depressed.
Sure enough, in the face of power, both she and Zhou Meidai were too immature and inexperienced, so they seemed particularly passive.
Fu Jingchao looked at her dejected daze and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that I'm still too weak and can't stand up to the real powerful people." Shen Xingwan blurted out.
Fu Jingchao glanced at her in surprise. The girl who was almost thirteen years old still had some childishness and baby fat on her face that had not completely faded away. Most of the time her smile was sweet and soft, and she looked very harmless. Calculation.
As a human being, he looks like a little fox and is not offensive at all.
As we get along more often, I will occasionally get a glimpse of something different about her. There will be times when her eyes are cold and sharp, and sometimes she will be really cruel.
She is the most fickle little girl Fu Jingchao has ever seen, unpredictable and ambitious.
But...it's not annoying, but rather interesting.
"Why do you think so much at such a young age?" Fu Jingchao didn't quite understand her worries. "I brought you into this matter. I will try my best to protect you. Don't worry too much."
Shen Xingwan cheered up and stretched, "You can't protect me forever. You still have to rely on yourself."
What's more, judging from the plot direction in the book, it's not certain who will protect whom in the future.
The high-spirited prince, the most dazzling son of the emperor in Shengjing, will soon shine brightly like a shooting star and fall rapidly.
Fu Jingchao was distracted and thought that if he met her in Shengjing in the future, it wouldn't be wrong for him to protect her more. After all, they were friends in need.
"Ahem, in short, please be careful during this period. After this battle, my affairs in Jiangnan have probably been exposed."
He was forced to lead people to come forward and save Zhou Meidai's life, while also exposing the fact that she did not die in Jiangnan.
Shen Xingwan said dissatisfiedly, "I know, you'd better take care of yourself and calm down for the next two days."
At dawn, what happened last night spread throughout Jiangnan, and all eyes were focused on Zhou Meidai. Shen Xingwan's side could only be regarded as a small fuss, covered up in it, and no one cared.
There are two days left before the Dragon Boat Festival, and the streets and alleys are busy and full of festive atmosphere.
Shen Yuan in Nuo Da was also noisy. The maids and women were very busy making rice dumplings, making sachets, and weaving colorful threads.
I heard that the ladies in the house even gathered together to fly paper kites, letting the flying kites take away all the bad luck and unhappiness.
The steward below sent beautiful paper kites to each yard. Shen Xingwan also received three from here, one from a butterfly and one from a flying swallow.
The most interesting thing is that there is a kitten. It looks a bit like a fat cat. As soon as it was delivered, the fat cat was already jumping around.
Today Shen Xingwan has been lazy and seems to have no energy.
Banxia coaxed, "Miss, let's go fly the kites too. The wind is quite strong today, which is just right for flying the kites."
Fat Cat said, "Go and let it fly. I made this cat so handsome that I must fly into the sky."
Everyone seemed to be in high spirits. Shen Xingwan didn't want to spoil the fun, so he cheered up and said, "Okay, let's fly the kite."
The group of people were about to go to the open space outside to lay down, when the woman at the door came up and said, "Girl, Shen Tang wants to see you."
"No." Shen Xingwan said simply.
She didn't want to worry about the Shen family's affairs for the time being, so she could just let them do whatever they wanted.
The mother-in-law stepped back with a wink.
As a result, Shen Xingwan walked halfway up the road, and the mother-in-law who had accepted Shen Tang's money came up to her shamelessly.
Before Shen Xingwan could speak, Qinghong frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you here again? You got a lot of benefits, right?"
Qinghong grew up in the Shen Mansion and was considered an old man. She was very aware of Xiao Jiujiu among the servants.
The mother-in-law, who had been told the truth, gave Shen Xingwan a flattering smile and said, "Girl, don't think I'm annoying, old woman. There is indeed something important."
"Oh, tell me then." Shen Xingwan was a little curious. It had only been a few days, but something happened again.
"He asked me to tell the lady that your brother is missing..." the mother-in-law said cautiously.
Although she paid for it before making another trip, she still had a look. She would usually not be blamed if she made a trip with such news.
Sure enough, Shen Xingwan wasn't angry, he was just stunned for three seconds. What does it mean to be missing?
Shen Yu is already seventeen, and Shen Xiaoguo is fifteen. He is not a three-year-old. How can he get lost?
"Tell Shen Tang to wait."
Shen Xingwan dropped these words and took the people to fly the kite without stopping.
Although the situation seems urgent, she now has reservations about everything in the Shen family.
When she is not in need, she is not as strong as Su Jingyi, sweet and cute, but when something happens, she is very honest and goes to her as soon as possible.
It's not like she was taken advantage of, so why would she be there at the first call?
Sure enough, on the grass behind the Shen Garden, the ladies and maids stood sparsely, and it was very lively.
Shen Xingwan threw a paper kite to Fu Jingchao, "Go and let it fly. You came from the mountains, you should be able to run well."
Obviously knowing that Shen Xingwan was taking the opportunity to torment him, Fu Jingchao had adapted well and took the kite and put it down obediently.
Speaking of which, this was his first time flying a paper kite.
Fu Jingchao started running. Among the weak maids, he was indeed the fastest. The kite quickly flew into the sky.
