The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Although Yu Shen was reading, he would put down the book from time to time to look at the calligraphy the little girl was practicing. The teacher was the top scholar, and the teacher's wife was also a famous talent in the capital. He thought that even if the little girl was not gifted, as long as she inherited a little bit of talent from the teacher and the teacher's wife, she should have no problem practicing a few words.

The result left Yu Shen speechless. He frowned as he looked at the little girl's calligraphy. It was simply unbearable to read. It was pitch black and he couldn't even tell what the words were. He looked at Xin He, and his eyes made Xin He feel ashamed. She lowered her head in shame.

Yu Shen took away the piece of paper on which nothing could be seen, and took out another piece of paper for Xin He, placing it in front of her, and said sternly: "Pay attention and continue practicing. If you can't practice the three words 'Ren Zhi Chu' well today, you will be punished by not being able to eat snacks."

Yu Shen thought that the little girl couldn't eat without meat, so he was afraid that banning her from eating snacks would not be a big deal, so he quickly added, "Also, she can't eat meat."

Xin He was actually hungry a long time ago. Normally, Liu Niang would have prepared sweet snacks for her. But her hands hurt from practicing calligraphy today, and she felt that her physical strength was depleted quickly. Now Xin He felt that her stomach was empty. When she heard Yu Shen said that she was not allowed to eat snacks, and even more frighteningly, she was not allowed to eat meat, she immediately panicked, and even felt a little aggrieved.

Brother Shen was too strict with me. This was my first time learning calligraphy, and I wasn't born knowing how to write, so of course I couldn't write well. Brother Shen actually punished me like this, not allowing me to eat snacks or meat. This was more terrible than hitting my palm.

Xin He recalled that in her previous life, when Yu Shen was facing that Xin He lady, he was always kind and never got angry. But Yu Shen was so strict with her. Brother Shen still didn't like her. She was not as good as Xin He.

Thinking of this, Xinhe felt tears filling her eyes. She couldn't let Brother Shen see her crying. She was not that delicate.

She stretched out her chubby little hand to wipe her eyes, then quickly sat up straight, picked up the pen and started practicing again honestly according to what Yu Shen had written.

Yu Shen thought that the little girl would be naughty when she heard that she was not allowed to eat snacks or meat. But he did not expect that the little girl would continue to practice calligraphy without saying a word.

But she wiped her eyes and wiped away the tears. Yu Shen saw it. Seeing the little girl stubbornly not talking and practicing calligraphy, Yu Shen suddenly blamed himself. Was he too strict? The teacher would not treat him like this. After all, it was the little girl's first time practicing, so it was understandable that she did not practice well.

Yu Shen walked forward and saw that the little girl's chubby hands were still holding the brush incorrectly, so he leaned over and covered Xin He's small hands with his own to correct her writing posture: "Your fingers are not in the right position, it should be like this, and your wrist should be flexible, so that you can write one stroke at a time, and then write one stroke at a time. Look, isn't it much better?"

Xin He was feeling sad, but she didn't expect Brother Shen to be so kind and teach her how to write. Looking at the neatly written character "人", Xin He was very happy. She raised her little face and smiled at Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, thank you, you see Xin He's handwriting is very good!"

Xinhe raised her little face, and Yu Shen saw that the fat girl had wiped her tears with her hands and the ink on her hands had also been smeared on her eyes.

This is pretty. The little white face has a pair of big eyes with dark circles under them. The black eyes look at me with surprise. This look is really......

Xinhe saw Prime Minister Yu in her previous life, now Brother Shen, who suddenly curved his eyebrows, pointed at Xinhe's eyes, and laughed out loud, laughing so heartily and happily.

Xinhe was stunned. In her previous life, she pretended to be the wife and stayed with Prime Minister Yu for three years. During those three years, she had never seen Prime Minister Yu laugh so happily. Even when facing that Madam Xinhe, the always dignified and gloomy Prime Minister Yu could only smile slightly at most. Unlike now, his entire eyebrows and mouth were smiling, and he looked so happy.

It turns out that Yu Shen is also very good-looking when he smiles. Xinhe now thinks that Yu Shen is more pleasing to the eye when he smiles. What a cute little boy, but he always has a stern face and looks old-fashioned. Now Yu Shen looks like what a child of this age should look like.

Xin He didn't know why Yu Shen was laughing so happily, but seeing Brother Shen laughing like that, Xin He also felt very happy. She grinned along with Yu Shen without knowing why, and her silly look was even more ridiculous. Yu Shen was laughing so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back.

Just at this moment, Liu Niang knocked on the door and walked in holding a plate of snacks. From a distance, she heard the laughter of two children. Liu Niang was still wondering what they were learning and why the two children were so happy.

When she walked into the room, she saw the lady sitting in front of the desk. There was ink around her eyes and she was smiling happily with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.

"Oh, how did you get dark circles under your eyes?" Liu Niang quickly put down the snacks, walked forward and looked at the young lady's face carefully, and repeatedly called the little maid who followed behind her to bring water for the young lady to wash her face.

Xin He didn't know what she was like. When she saw the snacks coming, she immediately jumped off the stool and reached out to take some. Yu Shen quickly grabbed Xin He's hand and said, "Don't worry, look at your hand."

Xinhe looked at her hands in confusion. What happened to her hands? She saw the ink on her hands. How could there be so much ink?

Xin He looked at the ink on her hands, then at Yu Shen who was still laughing, and suddenly realized what Brother Shen was laughing at. She screamed and covered her face with her hands, thinking that she must look so ugly, no wonder Brother Shen laughed like that.

Before Liu Niang could stop the young lady, she saw her covering her face with her hands. This made her look even more embarrassed. Without time to smile, Liu Niang quickly pulled the young lady to wash her face with the water brought by the little maid.

Xin He was so embarrassed that she kept mumbling while washing: "Liu Niang, Xin Er is so ugly, you need to wash Xin Er clean! Woohoo, it's so ugly."

Yu Shen, who was standing next to him, sat down at the table after laughing enough. He picked up a piece of dessert and ate it while listening to the little girl chattering non-stop. He also heard Liu Niang constantly comforting her young lady: "Young lady is not ugly. Young lady is a fairy from heaven. Even if there is ink on her face, she is still a beautiful fairy."

Yu Shen thought of the little fairy’s face covered in ink just now, and felt that today’s snacks were particularly sweet and tasted especially delicious!

At dinner in the evening, Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran asked Yu Shen: "Shen'er, was Nannan well behaved today? How is her study going?"

Yu Shen glanced at Xin He who was eating meat with big mouthfuls. Xin He immediately felt that the meat in her mouth was not tasty anymore. She was afraid that Brother Shen would tell Daddy and Mommy about her embarrassing appearance today. Without even having time to swallow the meat in her mouth, she quickly spoke before Yu Shen: "Daddy and Mommy, our daughter learned very well today. Brother Shen taught her very seriously."

As the little girl spoke, she winked at Yu Shen, implying that Yu Shen should never tell his father and mother that his face was covered with ink from practicing calligraphy.

Yu Shen saw the teacher and his wife trying to hold back their laughter and knew that Liu Niang must have told the teacher and his wife about the little girl's embarrassment. The teacher and his wife had asked this question on purpose.

He praised Xin He seriously: "Xin Er sister studied very hard, and her handwriting is also very good." Yu Shen hesitated for a moment. The little girl was very serious, but the handwriting, forget it, I held her hand and wrote it, so it was considered her handwriting, not bad. I didn't lie when I said this, Yu Shen nodded affirmatively to the teacher and the teacher's wife.

Ji Wanran looked at the little actions between Yu Shen and Xinhe, smiled and said: "Then Nannan must continue to work hard in the future!" Liu Niang had already told her about the two children today. Liu Niang also told her that she had known Master Shen for so long, but had never seen him so happy as he was today.

Ji Wanran thought that her decision was indeed correct. She hoped that her precious daughter could help Shen'er become happier.

From then on, Xinhe went to Yu Shen's study room every day to study and practice calligraphy for an hour. Miss Xinhe was very serious, but according to Yu Shen, her talent was limited, so she was often criticized by the teacher.

Fortunately, Xinhe never took criticism to heart. As long as she had snacks and was not punished to eat vegetables every day, Xinhe felt very happy.

The days of studying and practicing calligraphy with Yu Shen went on as usual. During this period, Ming Mo, who was sent out to follow and monitor Su Peiyun, came back to report.

Ming Mo felt that he had a miserable life. He was kept by the master as a book boy, but he was always dragged by Miss Xinhe to play in the garden. The master criticized him for playing with cats and dogs and not doing his job. He had to listen to the lady's orders! Ming Mo felt wronged.

What was even more outrageous was that the two young masters mistook a little servant of theirs for a spy and sent them to follow that cousin.

Ming Mo felt that he had a miserable life. But he had to obey his master's orders, so he secretly monitored the cousin for half a month, but found nothing wrong, so he had to come back to report.

Xin He and Yu Shen looked at Ming Mo with bright eyes, waiting for his report. Ming Mo looked at their expectant eyes and swallowed silently, knowing that his news would only disappoint the young masters.

"Sir, Miss, Ming Mo has been secretly monitoring my cousin for half a month, but I didn't find anything special. I also talked to the servants in my cousin's courtyard, and I heard that my cousin usually stays at home, just stays in her room to read books, practice calligraphy, or goes to the main room to pay respects to the lady, and stays there for a while before coming back. My cousin hasn't left the house in the past half month."

Xin He asked anxiously, "Does her maidservant often come in and out of the house?" Ming Mo thought about it carefully and replied, "My cousin has a maid named Yinshuang. I heard from the servants that Yinshuang is the most trusted one in the whole yard. But Yinshuang doesn't come in and out of the house frequently. She only went out to buy snacks for my cousin twice."

Buying snacks? There is a cook who specializes in making snacks in the mansion, why do you have to go out to buy them? Xin He then asked: "Have you ever followed that girl? Where does she go to buy snacks?"

"Yes, I followed her from the beginning to the end. Yinshuang went to an ordinary dim sum shop on Chang Street. The shop is called... Fuxin Dim Sum Shop. The chestnut cakes in that shop are famous in the capital for their deliciousness. Yinshuang went there twice and bought chestnut cakes for her cousin each time. I heard that her cousin loves to eat chestnut cakes the most. Yinshuang bought the dim sum and went back home. She never went anywhere else."

Ming Mo finished speaking in one breath, staring at the two young masters. Xin He and Yu Shen looked at each other, but they really didn't hear anything abnormal from Ming Mo's words.

Xinhe was a little disappointed. She thought that Su Peiyun would panic and act when she heard that the mansion was going to pick up her child, but she didn't expect Su Peiyun to be so calm.

Xin He sighed in disappointment, and Ming Mo looked at the young lady worriedly: "Sir, Miss, did Ming Mo mess up the job?"

Xinhe waved her hands quickly, "No, no, Brother Mingmo has worked very hard. Brother Mingmo, please go down and have a rest first." Mingmo looked at the young master eagerly. The young master said that there was a reward. Where is the reward?

Yu Shen looked at Ming Mo eagerly, not understanding what he meant, and asked Ming Mo, "Anything else?" Ming Mo saw that the young master and the young lady had completely forgotten about the reward, and sighed in his heart, "What a miserable life! What a miserable life!" Ming Mo turned away disappointed.

Xinhe was very disappointed and sat helplessly on the bed. If she couldn't find any flaws in Su Peiyun's behavior, she couldn't find out the mastermind behind her. What should she do?

Yu Shen looked at the frustrated fat girl, thought for a moment and comforted her: "It's okay, she didn't make any noise, which just shows that she hasn't done anything to harm anyone yet, which proves that Master's wife is safe for now."

Xin He looked at Yu Shen, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Yu Shen didn't know that there were other bad guys behind Su Peiyun, and she couldn't tell him too much. There was no movement at the moment, and she couldn't do anything, so she could only leave it like this for now.

Therefore, the matter of following Su Peiyun had to end like this. Xinhe thought that Wu Ma and the others should have already arrived at Su Peiyun's in-laws' house. She didn't know what the result would be, so she could only wait for news from Wu Ma and the others.

Life went on as usual for another half a month, and the people Qin Mingxuan sent to Su Peiyun's husband's ancestral home came back. Xinhe heard that Aunt Wu and Uncle Qin had returned after class in Yu Shen's study, and immediately pulled Yu Shen to run to the main room with her short legs.

Before entering the main room, she heard Su Peiyun crying. Xinhe looked at Yu Shen in surprise, and hurriedly pulled Yu Shen and the two of them into the room.

Aunt Wu and Uncle Qin were both there, but no one from Su Peiyun's husband's family was seen. Only Su Peiyun was crying on the table. Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan also had solemn expressions on their faces.

Xin He walked up to Ji Wanran and took her hand: "Mother, has Aunt Su's daughter been picked up?" Before she finished speaking, Su Peiyun cried even more painfully: "My poor daughter!"

Xin He looked at Su Peiyun who was crying and wailing in surprise. What happened? Ji Wanran touched Xin He's face and sighed, "Auntie Wu and Uncle Qin went to your aunt Su's house. Who knew that your aunt Su's ancestral home had caught fire ten days ago? When Auntie Wu and the others arrived, only a pile of rubble was left. Your aunt Su's mother-in-law and daughter died in the fire. How pitiful!"

Fire, death? Xin He was struck by lightning when she heard her mother's words. She turned her head stiffly to look at Su Peiyun.
