The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 23 Brother Shen and Xin'er are on the same boat

Yu Shen clapped his hands twice and called out "Seventeen". A black shadow fell from nowhere and stopped in front of Yu Shen and Xin He.

It turned out that even the code for calling out the secret guards had not changed. Xin He wanted to cover her mouth and laugh. Uncle Yu and Yu Shen really were father and son!

Seventeen saluted to Yu Shen and Xinhe: "Sir, Miss!" Xinhe looked at the secret guard named Seventeen, who was wearing a black veil, had a slender figure, and looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

The twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old secret guards are the backbone of the secret guards. They have been trained for many years and are very experienced. It seems that Uncle Yu still cares about Brother Shen very much. The secret guards left for his son must be capable and capable.

Xin He bowed to Shi Qi in a serious manner. He was his senior! He had to be respectful. Xin He opened his mouth and shouted, "Hello, Uncle Shi Qi!"

Seventeen was startled. Miss Xinhe kept bowing and calling him uncle, so he really couldn't bear the responsibility of a secret guard.

Seventeen quickly dodged Xinhe's salute and asked respectfully: "Seventeen doesn't deserve to be treated like this by the young lady. Just call me Seventeen. May I ask what the young master wants me to do?" Yu Shen looked at Xinhe and motioned her to speak.

Xin He was a little embarrassed. It was not right to use someone else's secret guards. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Seventeen, we two found that there was something wrong with Aunt Su in our family. Her name is Su Peiyun. You must have seen her."

Seventeen was left behind by Yu Huaian to look after Yu Shen. Before Lord Yu left, he told him to remain invisible at ordinary times and not to show up as long as he did not endanger the lives of Lord Qin's family and the young master in the mansion.

Usually, he and Wujiu would hide on rooftops and trees to look after the young master. The one he saw most often was Miss Xinhe, a little girl who took her nurse to stroll around the garden. Recently, she had asked the young master's servant to climb trees to catch birds and catch fish by the pond, making it impossible for him and Wujiu to take a nap in the trees.

As for the cousin Su Peiyun, Seventeen had also seen her. He nodded: "Yes, Seventeen has seen her." Xinhe looked at Yu Shen, took a step forward, looked up at Seventeen, and waved at him: "Uncle Seventeen, please lean over and I will tell you."

Yu Shen smiled at Xin He. The dwarf was too short, so it was indeed difficult for him to talk in front of Seventeen. Seventeen squatted down and listened to Xin He carefully.

Uncle Seventeen is so kind. Xinhe hugged Seventeen's arm and whispered, "Uncle Seventeen, can you follow Su Peiyun to see if she has contact with anyone in the past few days, especially where she went after she left the house. You should follow her."

Seventeen was embarrassed: "Miss, the master kept Seventeen to protect the safety of the young master. The master ordered that he should not show up easily to avoid revealing his whereabouts. It is really too difficult to follow Miss Su..."

Xin He knew what Seventeen meant. Uncle Yu definitely didn't want to expose the whereabouts of the secret guards so as to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives. It was indeed a waste of talent to let Seventeen do the job of tracking Su Peiyun.

Yu Shen saw that Seventeen was in trouble. He knew his father's orders and also knew that these guards would be severely punished if they disobeyed his father's orders.

Yu Shen pondered for a long time and said to Seventeen, "Seventeen, go ahead, we will discuss this matter again." Seventeen responded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xin He was anxious: "Oh, Brother Shen, you let Shiqi go, how can we follow that bad woman?" Yu Shen ignored him and shouted to Ming Mo outside. Ming Mo responded and walked into the study.

Xin He looked at Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, do you want Ming Mo to do this?" Ming Mo asked doubtfully: "What are you and your wife going to do?"

Xin He looked at Ming Mo. Ming Mo was a servant, so it was normal for him to go in and out of the mansion. Ming Mo was also very smart and clever. Even if he was discovered following Su Peiyun, he should be able to make up an excuse to get away. Letting Ming Mo go was a good choice.

Xinhe immediately smiled: "Brother Shen is so smart, just let Mingmo go, he will definitely do a good job." Being flattered by the fat girl was commonplace, Yu Shen was very calm and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Ming Mo was even more confused. Without saying anything about what to do, the lady said that she would definitely do it well. Why did he feel that the lady was setting a trap for him?

Ming Mo asked tremblingly, "What does the young master want Ming Mo to do?" Before Yu Shen could say anything, Xin He stepped forward and pulled Ming Mo's sleeve, "Brother Ming Mo, it's just a small matter. Just follow Su Peiyun to see if she has contact with anyone in the past few days. Especially, you have to follow her and report back to me... and Brother Shen."

Ming Mo was stunned. How could a servant like him be responsible for following someone? He opened his mouth and looked at Yu Shen: "Sir?" Yu Shen also felt a little embarrassed. If his father and master knew about sending his servant to follow a woman, they would definitely scold him.

But Xin He said that he had to protect his master's wife, so he couldn't be careless about this matter. He pretended to be calm and coughed: "Well, this matter is more important. Xin He said that you are smart and can definitely do it well. Go ahead. You don't have to serve me these few days. If you do this well, the master will reward you!"

Xin He immediately followed up, "Xin Er also has a reward. Xin Er has a lot of treasures. And, Ming Mo, remember to keep it a secret! Don't let anyone else know."

Yu Shen looked at the two young masters, one taller and one shorter, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who told him to be a servant? Ming Mo reluctantly accepted the task and went out in a depressed mood.

After arranging this matter, Xin He felt relieved. She looked at Yu Shen happily: "Brother Shen, we are now in the same boat. We must work together to protect mother and father, oh, and Uncle Yu."

Yu Shen looked at her with disdain and sat down next to the desk: "Who are we on the same boat with? I am doing this for Master's wife. What can a little dwarf like you who only knows how to eat and drink do?"

Xin He felt like her lungs were stabbed and she couldn't speak. The smile on her face disappeared. Yes, Brother Shen was right. She came to this world knowing nothing and understanding nothing. She was really a waste.

Yu Shen looked at the chubby girl who was so cheerful just now. Now she was like a deflated ball, listless and lifeless in an instant.

Yu Shenfang realized that what he had just said seemed a bit harsh. He looked at the little girl and bowed to him sullenly: "Thank you, Brother Shen, for helping me. I won't disturb you from studying. Shen'er will go find a wet nurse." Then he lowered his head and walked out the door.

Yu Shen looked at the little girl's listless back and suddenly felt a little guilty. He called out to Xin He, "Well, don't just run around and have fun all day. You should read more books and learn more so you can become more capable."

Xin He turned around and looked at Yu Shen aggrievedly: "Xin Er has told Daddy and Mommy that she wants to study hard and learn skills, but Daddy and Mommy said that Xin Er is too young and the teacher will not accept such a young student, so Xin Er should wait a little longer."

Xin He felt more and more wronged as she spoke, and her eyes gradually filled with tears as she looked at Yu Shen. Brother Shen always looked down on her. She had been working hard, and she had always wanted to seriously learn skills. But she was too young. Although she tried hard to control herself from just eating, drinking and having fun all day, this body was that of a three or four-year-old child. Seeing so many delicious and fun things, she really couldn't control herself. Xin He had never enjoyed these in her previous life.

Yu Shen saw Xin He was about to cry, and stood up in panic, but he didn't know what to do. "Hey, don't cry, I just said it casually, I didn't mean it, you're fine, I..."

Yu Shen was actually very clear in his heart that he was a little envious of Xin He. The little girl had what he lacked: the love of his parents. Whenever he saw the little girl nestling in the arms of his master's wife and acting like a spoiled child, and the master's wife lovingly hugging Xin He in her arms, he thought the little girl was particularly annoying. In fact, it was his jealousy that was at work, and it was wrong for him to think so. Thinking of what his master said, that this was not what a gentleman did, Yu Shen lowered his head in shame, feeling that he had failed his master's teachings and his master's wife's love.

It would have been better if Yu Shen hadn't tried to persuade her. After Yu Shen said that, Xin He finally found an outlet to vent all the grievances and anxieties she had been feeling since her rebirth, and she opened her mouth and cried heartily.

Seeing Xin He crying so hard, Yu Shen was at a loss. He quickly took out his handkerchief and walked into Xin He, wiping Xin He's tears in a hurry: "Hey, don't cry. I will never call you a fat boy or a dwarf again!"

This was even worse. These words made Xin He even more sad. She pointed at Yu Shen while crying: "Brother Shen is the worst. He always says Xin Er is fat, ugly, and short. Woohoo, Xin Er is not fat at all. The nanny even said that Xin Er is a little fairy, a beautiful and lovely little fairy! Woohoo, Xin Er is not ugly."

Yu Shen felt that the more he coaxed this little fat girl, the more she became arrogant. He really wanted to throw her aside and ignore her, but seeing how miserable she was crying, he had to continue coaxing her: "Okay, you are not ugly, you are a little fairy from heaven! Okay?"

"Wow, wow, I'm not stupid, I'm very smart, I will work hard to learn some skills." "Okay, okay, you're smart, you work hard." Yu Shen was so anxious that he wanted to die. Why did this girl cry endlessly?

Liu Niang, who was standing outside the door, almost laughed out loud, but she stopped outside the door to hold back her laughter. She had just seen Yu Shen's servant, the servant named Ming Mo, leave the yard with a look of despair on his face, and when he saw Liu Niang, he complained to her, "Nanny, the young lady has really screwed Ming Mo!" When she asked him what was wrong, he didn't say anything and hurried out.

Liu Niang was afraid that Xin He had been naughty and had caused trouble again in Yu Shen's yard, so she hurried into the yard and headed for the study. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Xin He crying. She was startled and thought something had happened to the two children. As a result, when she reached the door, she heard her mistress repeatedly blaming Yu Shen and praising herself like a flower.

Liu Niang listened to Yu Shen and the young lady's every word and felt that the two children were very cute. Since the children had nothing to do anyway, she stood at the door and continued to eavesdrop.

Yu Shen was really annoyed by Xin He's crying. He once again put the handkerchief on Xin He's face to wipe away her tears. He stopped Xin He loudly: "Okay, don't cry. No one taught you to read, so I will teach you to read and learn skills. Is that okay?"

"Wow, Brother Shen always says Xinhe is stupid, Xinhe... huh?" Xinhe stopped crying. What did Brother Shen say just now? It seemed like he wanted to teach Xiner to read?

She grabbed Yu Shen's handkerchief with her chubby hands, wiped her tears and snot quickly, and then stuffed the handkerchief to Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, is this true? Brother Shen wants to teach Xin'er to read?"

Yu Shen watched the fat girl wipe her tears and snot on her handkerchief, frowning tightly. The little fat girl was so disgusting. He pinched the handkerchief with two fingers and threw it aside in disgust.

Xinhe didn't care about anything else and pulled Yu Shen's sleeve and continued to ask: "Brother Shen, is it true?" Yu Shen felt that he had caused himself a big trouble, but the words had been spoken and he couldn't take them back. The master always taught him to keep his word, and he couldn't go back on his word.

He nodded, looked at Xin He who was surprised, and said seriously with a straight face: "From now on, you are not allowed to bring the maids to tease cats and dogs in the garden. Every day after I come back from the master, you have to come to my place and practice calligraphy and reading with me for an hour."

Xin He was so happy. It was great to be able to study and practice calligraphy with Brother Shen. She clapped her hands and almost jumped up: "Okay, okay, thank you Brother Shen, Xin Er will definitely study hard and practice calligraphy."

She turned around and ran out the door: "I'm going to tell mom to prepare a small school bag for Xin'er and prepare some study supplies for her!"

When she ran to the door, she saw Liu Niang with a smile on her face. She pulled Liu Niang up and started talking non-stop: "Liu Niang, did you hear that? Brother Shen said he can teach Xin Er to read. Come on, let's go and tell mom that Xin Er wants a beautiful little schoolbag! Hurry up!"

Liu Niang smiled as she watched the young lady walking slowly on the ground with her short legs. She simply leaned over and picked up the young lady: "Yes, yes, Nanny heard everything. Miss Xin'er wants to study."

Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan were talking in the room, and they heard their chubby little girl's happy laughter from afar. As Xinhe kept calling for daddy and mommy, the nanny came in holding Xinhe.

Liu Niang put Xin He down, bowed to the master and the lady, and stood aside with a smile. Xin He excitedly threw herself into Ji Wanran's arms: "Mother, Brother Shen is so nice. Brother Shen promised Xin He that he would teach Xin He to read and write. Mother, please prepare a beautiful little schoolbag for Xin Er. Xin Er wants a very beautiful schoolbag with little bunnies on it!"

Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran looked puzzled. Shen'er teaching Nannan? Is this playing house? Qin Mingxuan laughed: "As a master, I didn't even know that my apprentice has started to accept apprentices."

At this time, Yu Shen followed Liu Niang and Xin He into the room. Hearing what the master said, Yu Shen felt embarrassed, his face turned red, and he lowered his head without saying anything.

Xin He was anxious, and she threw herself from her mother's arms to Qin Mingxuan again: "Daddy, don't say that about Brother Shen. Brother Shen is a very good person. Brother Shen doesn't mind that Nan Nan is too young, and is willing to take time out to teach Xin He to read and write. Daddy can't disallow it."

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen with a smile and gestured to him, "Come, Shen'er, come to Master's wife." Yu Shen walked to Ji Wanran with his head down. He couldn't act like a spoiled child like Xinhe, so he just stood beside Ji Wanran with his hands down and called out "Master's wife" softly.

Ji Wanran looked at the sensible and well-behaved Yu Shen, stretched out her hand and took Yu Shen into her arms, and asked him softly: "Shen'er, you get up early every day to study, and you also have to follow your master to take classes. You are so busy, how do you still have time to teach your sister Xin'er?"

Xinhe became even more anxious: "Mom, don't do it!" Ji Wanran glared at her. Xinhe didn't dare to say anything else and nestled in her father's arms feeling aggrieved.

Yu Shen looked at Xin He's anxious expression, then looked at Ji Wanran: "Teacher's wife, my sister really wants to study, but she is too young to hire a teacher. Shen'er wants to take some time to teach her how to read and practice calligraphy. These are very simple things that don't take much effort. Shen'er won't be tired."

Xin He stared at Yu Shen and nodded repeatedly after hearing what he said. Yes, that's right, Brother Shen is so nice! She looked at her mother expectantly and said in a coquettish voice, "Mom..."
