Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Sensing something was wrong, Gu Sisi turned around slowly, followed Wen Mo's gaze, and was startled when she saw Shen Ji, "Cousin."

Shen Ji was thin and standing in the night. He couldn't see clearly, but he could feel his displeasure.

Shen Ji closed his eyes and said quietly, "Since you know who did it, you should remember more in the future."

Gu Sisi lowered her head with a guilty look on her face, "I will never bother my cousin again in the future. I will directly cut off my aunt's thoughts from the source."

"You eat and live with them, how can you ensure your own safety?" Shen Ji frowned and said lightly, "I'll stay in the inn today. Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Wen Mo to find a suitable house and rent one for you. .”

Gu Sisi looked moved. The current situation was special, and she did not want to be polite to Shen Ji anymore, so she immediately agreed, "Thank you cousin, I will pay it back when I save enough money."

"No, let's go quickly, it will be curfew if it gets later." Shen Ji nodded and tightened the cloak around him, his expression unchanged.

Gu Sisi paused for a moment, then spoke, "My cousin must be more sad than me when this happens. A close relative has caused us this..."

Shen Ji stiffened, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, but said nothing.

Wen Mo looked at the sky and urged, "Cousin, let's go."

Gu Sisi nodded, glanced at Shen Ji, and followed Wen Mo out of the house.

Shen Ji stood alone in front of the door. When he heard the sound of the red door opening and closing, he let out a faint breath and said with a self-deprecating smile, "I don't have any close relatives..."

next day

"lady!"

Baiji heard his voice first before seeing him.

Granny Yuan was startled, she clapped her heart and said, "How come this girl always has such a fiery temper?"

Fang Xu leisurely put down the tea cup in his hand, looking relaxed, "This is not the first time Baiji has been like this. Mother should get used to it."

Bai Ji trotted all the way into Chengyuan, his face flushed, and he whispered, "The whereabouts of Master Shen have been found."

Hearing this, Su Zi frowned slightly, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "You guys step back first."

"Yes."

The servants in the lobby filed out, leaving only the two masters.

Fang Xu raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Bai Ji, and asked softly, "But what was found?"

Bai Ji nodded hurriedly, took out the pamphlet from his sleeve, and whispered, "Master Shen was picked up by the couple at Dongquan Lake. He was already injured when they met. The old couple saw Master Shen wearing Bufan, having bad intentions, dragged him back home."

"What a coincidence. Master Shen injured his head and was young, so they allowed them to take advantage of him for so many years."

"Wait a minute." Granny Yuan heard the confusion and interrupted, "Isn't Xiao Shen that granny's biological son?"

Fang Xu nodded and lowered his voice, "Chen Ji's identity is a mystery. He has spent so many years of filial piety in vain."

Grandma Yuan was shocked and murmured, "I still feel strange, how could a mother treat her son like this in the world? She just picked him up and wouldn't feel sorry for him."

Bai Ji was about to speak but stopped, Fang Xu noticed her and said softly, "Go on."

Bai Ji straightened his expression and whispered, "I have found some clues about the people who died near Dongquan Lake during that time."

Fang Xu paused, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Who is it?"

"Marquis Zhuo Wen Yue Piao."

"Yue Chou?"

As soon as Bai Ji finished speaking, Granny Yuan exclaimed with a strange look on her face.

Fang Xu glanced sideways, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Do you know your mother?"

"How come we don't know each other?" Granny Yuan's thoughts drifted away and she said lightly, "Yue Piao and I have known each other for a long time. When we were young, he wrote poems in ten steps and was full of talent. The emperor cherished his talents and valued him very much. ."

"I didn't expect that Xiao Shen would actually have something to do with him." Fang Xu came back to his senses, his eyes fell back on Bai Ji, and asked softly, "Have you decided?"

Bai Ji nodded vigorously and whispered, "As always, Marquis Zhuo Wen did lose a son. His wife was overly sad and depressed. Marquis Zhuo Wen had no choice but to adopt a son from the clan. .”

"This..." Granny Yuan sighed and glanced at Fang Xu, "It's better not to let Xiao Shen know about this result."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes and sighed, "Even if we don't tell, he will definitely find out."

Granny Yuan shook her head helplessly, thinking of Shen Ji, she felt extremely distressed, "The regret has been decided, why do we need to check again?"

"Madam, Master Shen is here."

Ye Ming's voice came from outside, and everyone in the room looked at each other with different expressions.

Shen Ji slowly walked into the room and when he saw their appearance, he stomped his feet. Suspicion flashed across his face. He lowered his head and looked at himself, "But what's wrong with me?"

"Xiao Shen is here." Granny Yuan stood up with a smile, secretly winked at Fang Xu, and then said with a smile, "I'm a little tired, you guys are chatting."

Hearing this, Shen Ji hurriedly saluted, and did not forget to tell her, "Eldest princess, pay more attention to yourself."

Grandma Yuan looked at him, feeling only regretful, couldn't help but sigh, grabbed Miao Xuan's hand and fled the scene in a hurry.

Seeing this, Shen Ji became increasingly confused and looked back at Fang Xu with questioning eyes.

Fang Xu smiled helplessly and reached out to him, "You seem to be very idle these days, and you come here more frequently than usual."

When Shen Ji heard this, he smiled and whispered, "I'm here to deliver something to Madam."

"What?" Fang Xu couldn't help laughing and asked softly, "We can't eat it again..."

Before Fang Xu finished speaking, he saw the sachet in his hand.

The embroidery on the sachet bag is twisted and twisted, and you can't tell the reason. The spices inside are quite good, with a faint scent of clove.

Then something came to mind, and Fang Xu was a little at a loss, "Is this the sachet that you embroidered a few days ago?"

"I want to give Madam a surprise." Shen Ji nodded and lightly touched the embroidery with his fingertips, as if waiting for Fang Xu's praise.

"Surprise... of course it's a surprise." Fang Xu took the sachet with both hands, his eyes fell on it, and his heart warmed slightly, "This fragrance is very suitable to my taste, but... since it was given to me, why did you embroider a tiger on it? ?”

Shen Ji was stunned, feeling incredible.

"Ma'am, that's a cat slave."

"……what?"

Fang Xu took a closer look and saw that there was no word "王" on the monster's forehead.

It's really not a tiger.

"It's my fault that my eyes were clumsy just now. This cat slave is too chubby..." Fang Xu pinched the sachet with a harmless smile on his lips, "I'll accept the sachet, thank you."

Shen Ji pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

If he practices more in the future, he will surely be able to embroider a lifelike cat slave.

"Master Shen's craftsmanship is really good. After only a few days of learning, he is already so capable." Su Zi noticed his sensitivity and spoke hurriedly, praising him repeatedly and not being stingy with his praise.

"Yes, it is Marquis Zhuo Wen's loss to lose such a powerful child like Master Shen!"

Bai Ji spoke quickly and spoke out what was in his heart.

In an instant, the hall was completely silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
