Tangled

Conversations began again outside. Except for simple words, Shen Qiqi could not understand most of them, and she had never heard of the place names they said.

She did not fall asleep, but leaned against the wall, carefully distinguishing which voice was Gu Tingshu's.

She listened intently, and before she knew it, time had flown by.

When she came to her senses, it was Gu Tingshu who called her back.

"While I'm away in Kyoto, if something happens, I'll ask Eleven to find the prince. No one can be trusted except the prince."

He told Leng Tu in a low voice, fearing that she would still take it to heart, and even nodded her eyebrows, "You must remember these words."

Touching the spot that was touched, Shen Qiqi nodded heavily, "I understand, I will definitely remember it."

She was serious, but Gu Tingshu was not completely relieved.

She was new to the world and would believe anyone who just gave him a few words. Take this time as an example, if she hadn't been nudged by someone, she wouldn't have come here even if she thought about it again.

"Just remember it and go back."

Gu Tingshu asked someone to send her back, and at the same time, someone sent a message to Mu Chengze before giving the order to set off.

Halfway back, Shen Qiqi suddenly remembered that she had forgotten the eleven and three people.

After lifting the curtain, she was about to speak, but the other person seemed to know what she was going to ask and spoke first.

"Don't worry, miss. Shiyi and the others have been sent back to Shen's Mansion. Miss, you can see them when you get back."

Shen Qiqi felt relieved when she heard that they had gone back first. She put down the curtain and sat back, without hearing any other meaning in the other party's words.

Three people with good martial arts skills will need someone to send them back. There is only one possibility, and that is that they are all injured.

After returning to Shen's mansion, Shen Qiqi climbed over the wall again for fear of being discovered, but this time it was much easier than when she left the mansion.

The other party seemed to have a clear understanding of the layout of Shen's residence, and led the servants she had hidden around directly to her yard.

Eleven or three people were standing guard outside the hospital, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her being sent back.

After Shen Qiqi stood firm, she was about to say thank you, but the other person jumped onto the wall in a flash. Shen Qiqi could only swallow the words when they reached her lips.

"Girl, you're back, I'm worried about you."

Jinbao moved over and pulled Shen Qiqi up and down to check, making sure she was fine before he felt relieved.

Also, with how much the prince loves the girl, how can he bear to hit her?

Only the three of them encouraged the prince to grant thirty boards to each of them without any mercy.

If the executioner hadn't been one of their own, the three of them would still be unconscious, let alone standing here waiting for the girl to come back.

Shen Qiqi noticed their pale faces and lips, and after a moment of reflection, she roughly guessed what they had gone through.

She waved to Nanny Lin to invite the husband over, and then asked them to rest.

"I have returned home now, you can go and rest."

"I won't go out of the yard, and the nuns are here. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Seeing that they were about to refuse, Shen Qiqi persuaded them again: "You can only continue to protect yourself after you have rested. Otherwise, you will be exhausted and when the bad guys come, won't you just have to catch them without help?"

After her persuasion, the three people who persisted became speechless and retreated after bowing.

Mother Lin helped Shen Qiqi into the house, looking at the dark green eyes under her eyes, her brows were furrowed so hard that she could kill a fly. "Girl, you must never listen to them again. Going out all night will make this old slave very worried."

"Look at the green color in those eyes. If the young men look at her, I don't know what to think of the girl."

What should they do if they think the girl doesn't like it because she doesn't like it here?
The prince is not in Kyoto, and the girl is helpless. If she is rejected, how should she deal with herself?

"The girl will change her clothes first. The old slave will go and get the chicken soup that has been simmered all night. The girl will drink it and fall asleep. When she wakes up, she will be refreshed."

They all think about themselves and have no selfish motives at all. Shen Qiqi is really curious about where Gu Tingshu found so many loyal people.

"Mommy, don't bother me. I can't eat it now. I'll eat it when I wake up."

Shen Qiqi was really noisy and had no words to eat. Now let alone chicken soup, even dragon liver, phoenix and gallbladder, she might not be able to eat it.

"How can you sleep when you are hungry? Don't worry, girl. The chicken soup is not hot. You can drink it when you bring it to you. Girl, please change your clothes first. I will be back soon."

No longer giving her a chance to refuse, Nanny Lin walked out quickly after speaking. Her legs and feet were even more agile than a young man like her.

Nanny Lin meant it was fast. Shen Qiqi had not even finished changing her clothes, but she had already returned with a cup of chicken soup.

"The small kitchen is always ready. I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to eat it immediately when she comes back. Girl, come quickly."

As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of chicken soup filled the room.

Although Shen Qiqi had no appetite, she couldn't displease Granny Lin, so she could only put on her clothes and walk to the table.

"I can't go out today. Please go and talk to my uncle and brothers. I'll go and say hello tomorrow."

"Don't worry, girl. The old slave sent someone early in the morning. He didn't say anything else. He just said that the girl read too late last night and needs to catch up on her sleep today, so she won't go."

Nanny Lin did things very safely, and Shen Qiqi was very satisfied with it. She smiled at her and sat down.

"Girl, drink slowly. I'll go clean up the warehouse first and come back later."

Knowing that Shen Qiqi didn't like to be served while eating, Nanny Lin withdrew wisely.

Mrs. Gu returned too many things. The warehouse in Shen Qiqi's courtyard was already very large, but the things still couldn't be put away completely.

Nanny Lin took people to clean it up for two days, but only half of it was cleaned up.

"Mother Zhang, let me take a look at your list over there. There seems to be something wrong here."

Grandma Zhang stopped writing and came over while rubbing her waist, "I haven't done so much work for a long time. My body is spoiled and I can't bear any movement."

In the past, the things in Gu Tingshu's warehouse were added little by little, and they would just clean up the fallen dust every day. Unlike now, they have to count everything one by one.

Originally, Jin Bao and his sisters were there to help, but now that they have been punished and can no longer help, they have to do it on their own.

In fact, it is not that there are no available people in the house, but they cannot be trusted. Everything here is precious. If one thing is damaged, they will not be able to afford it for several lifetimes.

"You can just say that I really don't want you to do it anymore. You are more anxious than anyone else."

Grandma Lin did not follow her words. She made a few teasing remarks and took the booklet in her hand to compare it carefully.

"There seems to be something wrong with these two sets of gold wire wrapped glazed jade pots."

Grandma Lin looked at the booklet again and again, but she still felt something was different. (End of chapter)
