After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 44 Chapter 044
Shen Qingci has not heard any news about Lin Yunzheng for the past two days.

Although she knew that there was nothing serious about him, and that if something happened, he would become a hotspot in Beijing and China immediately, but she couldn't help worrying about it.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the day agreed with Shen Qinglan.

Shen Wangxing was still seriously injured, and Erfang was flying like a dog.

Even under such circumstances, Shen Qinglan did not cancel the invitation with Shen Qingci, which made Shen Qingci even more curious about her purpose.

This morning, before Shen Qinglan came over, Shen Qingci went out first.

Among the banknotes and land deeds that her father gave her, there is also a shop.

On Tongque Street, diagonally opposite Xiuchuntang, Zhujian Tea House.

Although Shen Qingci couldn't figure out what his father was thinking, there was no reason not to use the shop that was delivered to him.

Although she knew that it was unlikely that she would meet someone from Dali Temple again, she did not bring Chunya with her out this time for the sake of caution.

After all, Chunya had shown her face in front of Zhang Zheng before as the eldest lady of the Shen family.

If someone from the lingering dog official meets her and finds that she is the maid beside her...

I have to pull out some right and wrong for no reason.

And since he came out with Shen Qinglan, Shen Qingci couldn't bring Qiuniang with him.

Therefore, she only brought tassels.

Although it is only a tea house, it is not affordable for ordinary people to open in this Tongque Street where every inch of land is precious.

Should I say it or not, if the old man didn't recognize her, he would have too much money and no place to spend it.

The shot is too generous.

On such a bustling street, the business of the tea house is not much worse.

What's more, the decoration inside is simple and elegant, it's rare to have such a clean and elegant place in this busy city, and the business is even better than Shen Qingci imagined.

As soon as she stood at the door, she was greeted in by the smiling Xiaoer.

There was no one at the counter, so Shen Qingci went directly to the second floor and chose a private room by the window.

When Xiaoer asked her what kind of tea she drank, Shen Qingci only asked someone to serve some pastries to Tassel, and asked to see the person in charge here by name.

Xiao Er didn't know what she was going to do, so he evaded repeatedly, but finally couldn't persuade her, so he had to turn his head away.

Today's Shen Qingci was wearing a light blue double-breasted skirt, still wearing a hood.

She still had the deed of the teahouse on her body, but she didn't just take it out for a look.

She thought, since her father gave this thing to her, and also said that it has nothing to do with the Jiang family, so feel free to use it, at least he has explained to the steward here.

Moreover, this person is also deeply trusted by the old man.

So, when she heard the greeting and turned around to see that familiar yet unfamiliar face that was absolutely unexpected to her, Shen Qingci was taken aback.

Jiang Shun?

The man was nearly young, with a Chinese character face, a straight eyebrow, and a dark red mole on the corner of his left eyebrow.

The moment he saw him, many images that had been silent in the depths of Shen Qingci's mind were evoked.

In her childhood memory, there was such a long follower named Jiang Shun in the mansion, who was deeply trusted by her father.

When the father is too busy to take time off, Jiang Shun often takes her out of the house to play.

She also trusted this Steward Jiang quite a bit.

But suddenly one day, this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he never appeared by Dad's side again.

After repeated questioning, she found out that Jiang Shun had made false accounts and stole property from the house, but his father found out and recovered the property, and expelled him from Jiang's house.

It was the second year after her mother died.

"This is Zhou Shun, the shopkeeper of Zhujian Tea House, what orders do you have for the girl?"

The moment Shen Qingci was in a daze, the man had already walked up to her and greeted her with a smile.

Zhou Shun?

Is it a coincidence?
Of course not.

Shen Qing can't guarantee farewell, but his memory is very good.

But it was because she recognized the person in front of her that it made her feel like a cloud.

why?
If he had really done something wrong to the Jiang family back then, how could he have won the respect of his father and opened a teahouse in this busy city under his name?
If not, then what made him willing to bear the infamy, completely draw a line with the Jiang family, and secretly plan all this for his father.

What is their purpose in doing this?
The more Shen Qingci thought about it, the more confused he became.

But one thing her father said is right, this teahouse has nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Isn't that right? Even if Zhou Shun's identity was exposed and people questioned him, he could only find out that he was expelled from the mansion by Jiang Zhizhou.

It is good not to hold grudges against the Jiang family, how could it be possible that they are still working for the Jiang family.

"girl?"

Seeing that Shen Qingci did not speak for a long time, Jiang Shun... Now Zhou Shun asked again: "What orders do you have?"

Only then did Shen Qingci come back to his senses.

She raised her hand, took out the deed from her sleeve and handed it over.

Zhou Shun, who originally had a flattering smile on his face, turned cold.

He turned around and put down the bamboo curtain to block the eyes of the outside world, and then stepped up to Shen Qingci's body, and bowed solemnly.

"Little Zhou Shun, I have met my boss."

Shen Qingci picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in front of Tassel with shining eyes.

One side said: "Master Zhou knows me?"

Zhou Shun changed his previous courteous flattery, and said with a serious expression: "Master said, the one who comes here with the deed is the owner."

Shen Qingci frowned: "Master?"

"Jiang Zhizhou?"

"But, I clearly remember that you were expelled from the mansion back then, weren't you?"

Although she knew that her father and Zhou Shun would not harm her, she could also feel that they must have important things to hide from her.

That's why she said that on purpose.

Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Shun suddenly knelt down towards Shen Qingci with a plop.

"My boss Mingjian, I dare not hide it. The reason why I did that back then was to get out of the Jiang family smoothly."

Shen Qingci raised his hand, raised a corner of the curtain, and looked at him: "Okay, why did you leave the Jiang family?"

"What did you do after leaving the Jiang family?"

Zhou Shun lowered his head, sighed and said: "The young one just obeys the master's order, as for why, the young one doesn't know."

"Since then, the young one has changed his appearance and managed several properties that were completely separated from the Jiang family. In recent years, he has also completely severed contact with him according to the master's request."

"However, the master said before that no matter who it is in the future, as long as they come to look for this house deed, they will be the young master."

Shen Qingci saw that his expression was sincere and he was not cheating at all, so he could only temporarily choose to believe his words.

It's just that Dad's step made her even more confused.

"Get up."

This time it was Shen Qingci's turn to sigh.

If it is said, she was not sure that her father had recognized her before.

Well, it's hard for her to deny it now.

But where did Dad see it?

Thinking about those silver taels, land deeds, and looking at Zhou Shun in front of him, even though Shen Qingci didn't want to admit it, he still had to think about it.

Her father had been preparing for this for a long time.

It was as if... she had expected her to be in this situation a long time ago.
