Chapter 259 Chapter 257
Obviously he has become suspicious of her behavior!

Shen Qingci's heart almost jumped into his throat.

She didn't even have time to think about it, she just pushed away the desk in front of her, lowered her head, and knelt down towards Sheng Tingjing holding the note.

"My lord..."

Sheng Tingjing's steps had already stopped in front of Shen Qingci.

"take it out."

He looked down at Shen Qingci, that gloomy look in his eyes made people shudder.

Shen Qingci looked terrified, flinched back a bit, but hid his hand tightly behind his back, refusing to hand it over.

"My lord, it's really... nothing."

While speaking, she was about to step back.

Her appearance naturally aroused Sheng Tingjing's dissatisfaction.

"wanna die?"

There are only two words, but there is already a fierce murderous look.

Seeing that Shen Qingci was extremely terrified but still refused to hand over what was in his hand, Sheng Tingjing completely lost his patience.

His eyes dimmed, and in the next instant he bent down and clasped Shen Qingci's shoulder, while the other hand pinched her wrist.

He didn't have the slightest intention to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

The force was so great that it almost broke Shen Qingci's wrist.

Beads of sweat instantly slipped from her temples.

Under the severe pain, Shen Qingci reluctantly let go of his palm.

A note fell from her palm.

Sheng Tingjing narrowed his eyes slightly, and he bent down to pick up the note.

"what is this?"

Seeing the writing on it, there was a bit of biting coldness in his voice.

Shen Qingci knelt on the ground as if powerless, pursed his lips while watching the note Sheng Tingjing handed to him.

"Yuanbao Street, NO.18, Xiao Mansion."

Sheng Tingjing casually read out the contents of the note, "If you don't tell me, do you think this king can't find out?"

Shen Qingci lowered his head, and said in a very tangled way: "My lord, please forgive me, this... this is the address of the person Miss was looking for before..."

She looked flustered and helpless, but in fact, her heart gradually calmed down.

At least, Sheng Tingjing's expression showed that he believed her words.

There was no doubt about the fact that she just dropped the note.

The moment she knelt down and put her hands behind her back, Shen Qingci had already replaced Sheng Tingye's secret letter with the address of Young Master Xiao given to her by Wang Baoqin with the cover of the wide sleeves.

Fortunately, she put it on her body before and didn't throw it away.

It's all a piece of paper, and at first glance, there is no difference.

The winter clothes were heavy, and she still had interlayers sewn into her sleeves, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.

As for Mr. Xiao's address...it was a fake at first, and I'm not afraid of Sheng Tingjing to check it.

It happened to be a good time for Shen Qingci to use it to deal with Sheng Tingjing in front of him.

Moreover, Wang Baoqin took the real Qingqing to Yuanbao Street to go door-to-door looking for Young Master Xiao. When Yuan Shi sent people to investigate Wang Baoqin's identity, I'm afraid he had already checked it all over.

Can't hide the address.

Sheng Tingjing didn't care about Wang Baoqin's affairs at all, as long as she was sure that she was not "lying", it was unlikely that she would mobilize people to investigate in order to find Mr. Xiao that Wang Baoqin wanted.

Taking a step back, if he really found someone to find out the trace or whereabouts of Mr. Xiao, it would save Shen Qingci time and effort.

The reason why Shen Qingci deliberately hid it in fear just now was to increase her credibility in front of Sheng Tingjing.

Seeing that Sheng Tingjing frowned and said nothing, Shen Qingci lowered his eyes and said: "Everything said by this servant is true, there is absolutely no deception."

Holding the crumpled note, Sheng Tingjing snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, why do you need to hide it? This king thinks you are very suspicious."

Shen Qingci's eyes were red, and she lowered her head: "After all, such a thing is not considered honorable, I don't want more people to know that Miss Ming's reputation will be damaged... I'm afraid that if the prince finds out, I'm still thinking about helping Miss If you find that person, you will be angry with Miss because of your servant..."

Sheng Tingjing didn't take it seriously: "You are very loyal."

While speaking, he raised his hand.

Yang Yi who was standing outside the door hurried forward, took the note from him, turned around and gave orders.

Sheng Tingjing's gaze passed over Shen Qingci's body and fell on the torn bun on the small table next to him.

The matter of the note can still be explained, but the torn bun...

Sheng Tingjing frowned, and he looked coldly at Shen Qingci who bowed his head in panic.

"How to say?"

Shen Qingci followed the sound and raised his head, followed his eyes and quickly glanced at the bun, then said cautiously: "There was a mistake in the kitchen, servant girl... I can't touch leeks, but my stomach is really hungry. That's why I had a glimmer of hope and thought about opening it to see if there were any other fillings."

"It's the slave's fault to waste the food, and I ask the prince to show mercy."

She knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, seeing a nameless fire rising in Sheng Tingjing's heart.

"Don't look so dead!"

He leaned over and directly squeezed Shen Qingci's chin.

"Don't hold this face, use such eyes and expressions!"

"Where is there even a little bit of her look?"

Speaking of the last sentence, he almost gritted his teeth with hatred.

But obviously he hated it, but he couldn't kill him when he met this Shen Qingci-like face.

Just stare at her.

Shen Qingci's jaw was clamped, and he was forced to raise his head to meet his gaze.

She moved her lips to beg for mercy, but when she saw Shang Sheng Tingjing's cold eyes, she suddenly remembered what he said before telling her to shut up or she wouldn't be like her real self.

She had no choice but to pretend that she was terrified to death but still gritted her teeth and dared not show cowardice.

The expressions and acting skills wrapped in layers are really painstaking.

Not long after, Shen Qingci was already sweating profusely.

Thanks to the heavy winter clothes, it is not easy for people to see the clues.

After such a long confrontation, I don't know what Sheng Tingjing is thinking.

His eyes fell on Shen Qingci's eyes, he was looking at Shen Qingci, but he seemed to be looking at others through Shen Qingci.

Although this "other" is Shen Qingci herself, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was about to stretch to the limit, Sheng Tingjing suddenly loosened her grip without warning.

But before Shen Qingci breathed a sigh of relief, he casually said: "Since we are talking about your young lady, it reminds me of something."

His tone was understated, and his expression was calm and breezy.

However, in this case, how could it be so easy to say such a thing.

In particular, Shen Qingci saw his hand behind his back, and intentionally or unintentionally rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb twice.

That was a sign that he was about to kill, or was about to go into a rage.

Shen Qingci was about to bend down, but when he thought that Sheng Tingjing didn't want to see her trembling and walking on thin ice, he just pretended to endure it.

Sheng Tingjing looked at her reaction with satisfaction, and said with a smirk: "Yao Wenbai asked the king for her today."

Obviously, from the tone of voice, this begging... is by no means the official marriage of the media.

Shen Qingci felt a chill in his heart.

She almost forgot that Yao Wenbai is so beautiful, how could he easily let go of the beautiful Wang Baoqin.

He didn't dare to touch her before because of Sheng Tingjing's deterrent power.

But now Sheng Tingjing is in Zhang's mansion, and he doesn't see that he takes Wang Baoqin's cousin seriously. With Yao Wenbai's temperament, it is very likely that he will ask Sheng Tingjing directly!

Thinking about Wang Baoqin's attempt to lure Yao Qingruan for her, she is now at the Yao family's villa outside the city... This is not the same as a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!

Shen Qingci's heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

On the surface, she froze in place, as if she hadn't reacted.

Sheng Tingjing lowered his eyes to look at her, and said in an indiscriminate and angry tone, "She ran away from home for a wild man shamelessly, and ended up living in a place like a brothel. Yao Wenboken accepted her, which is also her luck."

"And, the king has already agreed."

Shen Qingci's words of begging for mercy just stuck in her throat. She was thinking about countermeasures when Sheng Tingjing suddenly took a step forward and pointed two fingers at her.

His fingertips landed on her cheeks, and while he was talking, he traced her facial contours along her cheeks with those cold fingertips.

Even through the mask, this touch made Shen Qingci sick.

But she pressed it down.

"If you beg me, I can forgive you."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was about to kowtow.

In the next moment, Sheng Tingjing said with a smile that was not a smile: "However, you have to exchange it with yourself."

Shen Qingci: "..."

Sheng Tingjing smiled, "Since you are so loyal, you are just serving others on behalf of your young lady. If you think about it, you are willing to do it, right?"

While speaking, Sheng Tingjing used two points of strength with his fingers, his eyes were dark, and the topic changed: "For the sake of your face, this king will give you a chance."

"If you don't want to, stay with me and be my concubine."

"How do you choose?"

His eyes were clearly smiling, but that smile carried a piercing chill.

Shen Qingci lowered his eyes, cautiously but firmly said: "This servant is willing to replace Miss..."

Anyway, let's save Wang Baoqin now.

As for Yao Wenbo, Shen Qingci had plenty of ways to deal with him.

Sheng Tingjing smiled viciously: "Okay."

"A loyal dog."

He just finished saying "OK", but the strength of his hand pinching Shen Qingci's cheek suddenly increased.

The slender fingers slid from her face to the lifeline of her neck.

And his eyes became more and more terrifying, as if he wanted to swallow Shen Qingci alive.

"Where is this king not in your eyes?"

"Even you, a lowly maidservant, have come to provoke me!"

Shen Qingci was almost suffocated by being pinched, but she guessed that Sheng Tingjing's rage was only aroused by the distorted mind.

He didn't really intend to kill, but he might make her suffer.

So she simply gave up struggling, and simply looked at him as he asked before.

Not servile, not trembling.

Don't cry or laugh, don't open your mouth, don't beg for mercy.

Just like that, Yong looked at him calmly with a trace of stubbornness.

Those eyes had removed layers of camouflage, and they were her own.

However, under such circumstances, Sheng Tingjing felt that she was deliberately imitating and currying favor.

This is what Shen Qingci wanted.

Sure enough, Sheng Tingjing's eyes darkened in the next moment.

He suddenly released the strength in his hands, frowned and looked at her, and quickly took two steps back.

This was his instinctive reaction after falling several times under Shen Qingci's hands.

But when he took a closer look, he realized that the person in front of him was wrong, Sheng Tingjing suddenly became furious, and kicked over the table with food on the side.

He grabbed Shen Qingci's shoulders, pushed her back heavily, and said furiously: "You are worthy of imitating her even with your lowly maidservant!"

Shen Qingci: "..."

Due to his status, he couldn't react, so Shen Qingci wanted to scold her because of the sudden pain that caused his bones to fall apart.

Is this guy's madness getting more and more serious!

It was clearly what he asked for before—not being able to talk or laugh, not being submissive or groveling, asking her to be like herself as much as possible.

Now she really showed the expression he had hoped to see on her face before, but this man seemed to have lost his mind.

Shen Qing's speech is firm, Sheng Tingjing is sick.

And very sick.

"My lord..."

For a moment, Shen Qingci didn't know what expression to make to deal with this person.

She had no choice but to lower her head, and changed into the original fearful expression of this identity.

Sheng Tingjing's anger still persisted, he looked coldly at Shen Qingci who was bending over.

Because of the movement of lowering her head, a section of her snow-white back neck was exposed, just one glance made Sheng Tingjing's heart agitated.

He couldn't figure it out himself, after meeting Shen Qingci, he obviously couldn't bring up "sexual interest" to other women, but he had a strange feeling when he saw this humble maid in front of him.

When he thought that just because of this similar face, he couldn't control himself, and even almost forgot the poison on his body, Sheng Tingjing became more and more annoyed.

He kicked away the shards of porcelain that had fallen to his feet.

In rage, he looked at Shen Qingci coldly, and said as if torturing himself: "Since you are willing, this king will send you to that Yao Wenbo."

After finishing speaking, he called Yang Yi who was waiting outside in a deep voice.

It so happened that at this time, Yang Yi also brought the news that he had just gone to Yuanbao Street to search. Of course, when the Yuan family sent someone to verify Wang Baoqin's identity, he also reported her itinerary to Yunzhou after investigating her.

There is no difference with Shen Qingci's previous rhetoric.

But Sheng Tingjing's complexion did not improve at all.

He raised his hand and pointed to Shen Qingci who was kneeling beside him.

The tone was so cold that there was no warmth at all.

"Send it to Yao Wenbo."

After finishing speaking, seeing Shen Qingci standing up with his head bowed, with a respectful and obedient appearance about to follow Yang Yi back, Sheng Tingjing was even more furious.

If it was said that he had watched Shen Qingci before, he still had some guesses that she was acting on the occasion, deliberately playing a scene of deep love between master and servant.

Now, seeing that everything was a foregone conclusion, she didn't cry, make trouble, or beg for mercy, and she accepted it calmly, which was enough to show that her willingness to replace Wang Baoqin was not just lip service.

Sheng Tingjing, who couldn't tell why he was competing with this lowly maidservant, laughed back angrily.

But before the laughter completely overflowed from his throat, a fishy sweetness gushed out from the corner of his mouth first.

His body also staggered.

Yang Yi on the side exclaimed: "My lord!"

But at this time, a notification sounded outside the courtyard.
