"What, Shen Qingshu actually set fire to the mansion because of that cousin?" Princess Zhaoan's laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

While warming the wine, Lan Sheng'er said: "Others only thought that it was an accident to put the Kongming lanterns. It's just that when I came out of the hall, I saw Miss Shen Er hurriedly rushing to the courtyard, so I followed her out of curiosity. I never thought about it." After she got the Kongming Lantern from Third Young Master Shen, she went straight to Hefengyuan. After the fire, the second lady calmly dragged a girl out. Just looking at it, it looks like they are going to eat him."

Princess Zhao'an stroked her heart, and then calmed down: "I've met Shen Qingshu's cousin, she looks really pitiful, I didn't expect that before the princes in the capital made any movement, she would be planted first. .”

"It's not surprising, that cousin's face is so beautiful, even if I look at it, my heart will tremble."

"Beauty is beautiful, but it's a pity that it's not as vivid as yours." Princess Zhao'an stretched out her jade finger to pick Tiao Lansheng'er's chin, "but what else do you see?"

"When Second Miss Shen brought her cousin out, there was a man behind her. That man also appeared at the banquet." Lan Sheng'er frowned in disgust.

Princess Zhao'an was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "There are quite a few officials in the Shen clan, Shen Shangshu is afraid that he needs to be flexible recently, so he is thinking about giving the beautiful orphan girl to Guishao Bar."

"In order to save my cousin, she was willing to set fire to the house. Second Miss Shen is the first one I have ever seen."

"Could it be that you're in love?" Princess Zhao'an raised her eyebrows slightly.

Lan Sheng'er shook his head: "Maybe it's because Second Miss Shen is kind-hearted?"

"I met Shen Qingshu several times at the palace banquet. He was cold and not as eager as you said." Princess Zhaoan suddenly remembered the appearance of her protecting the rabbit lamp that night, and paused. "Not necessarily, though."

"Princess, the wine is ready."

"She still owes me a visit to thank you." Princess Zhao'an took a sip of her wine.

In the autumn wind courtyard.

Wen Xueer slowly stopped threading the needle and raised her head: "You have been looking at me for a long time."

"Xue'er never gets tired of watching it." Shen Qingshu said with his head propped up.

A blush quietly stained Wen Xue'er's cheeks; "If you make fun of me again, I won't make this sachet for you."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore," Shen Qingshu hid the melancholy in his eyes, "Do you like staying in the capital?"

"I can't say I like it, and I can't say I don't like it." Wen Xueer lowered her head again, "But with you here, I seem to like the capital a little more."

Is Wen Xueer talking about love?The author obviously did not add this attribute.Shen Qingshu suddenly blushed and his heart beat.

When he calmed down, Shen Qingshu remembered that the person who embroidered the sachet for him was about to be sent away tonight.

Are you cruel?

But if you're not cruel, you can't save her.

"Xue'er, accompany me to a place tonight." Shen Qingshu pretended to be calm and smiled.

"it is good."

When the night fell in darkness, Shen Qingshu dismissed the servants and dragged Wen Xueer all the way to the back door.

"Sister, why did you go out from here?" Wen Xueer's hand froze.

"It's late at night, if my father is disturbed, I'm afraid he will be fined to kneel in the ancestral hall again."

There was already a carriage waiting outside the door.

It's just that when Wen Xue'er saw the baggage on the carriage, she stepped back.

Shen Qingshu got into the car neatly, stretched out his hand, and motioned for Wen Xueer to come up to him: "Xueer, trust me."

Wen Xueer looked hesitant, but she still slowly reached out to catch Shen Qingshu and got on the carriage.

"Xue'er, listen to me." Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, "If it weren't for the fire last night, you would... your parents passed away, and there is no backer behind you. The capital is not suitable for you. Come on, I'll see you off."

There was a flash of panic in Wen Xueer's tone: "No, don't send me away. If I do something wrong that you don't like, can I apologize to you?"

"How could I not like you? I - it's too dangerous for you to stay in the capital, you have to go." Shen Qingshu deliberately turned his eyes cold.

Wen Xueer's eyes turned red: "It was because I was helpless that the old servant at home sent me to Shen's residence. If I were sent back again, it would not be much better than now."

"I'm not going back to Suzhou, but to Zhuangzi in Shen's hometown. I've inquired about it. The people there are simple and honest, and there's still more," Shen Qingshu was a little confused for a while, "I wrote a letter and stole my mother's seal After you get there, they will treat you kindly, and I will visit you too, but I can't leave now."

Shen Qingshu knew in his heart that if he left with Wen Xueer at this time, it would only cause the Shen family to arrest people everywhere.

Wen Xueer was sobbing in her voice: "Sister, I really don't want to leave."

"I have prepared all the things you need in my luggage," Shen Qingshu resisted the trembling in his voice, "I found a good boatman, they are experienced and reliable, and will protect you all the way."

Instead of believing in the boatman, it is better to say that Shen Qingshu believes in Boss Yuan, after all, he is the male lead of the original book, and there is not much moral flaw.

Wen Xueer's eyes darkened little by little, and finally turned sad.

Shen Qingshu deliberately turned away from looking at her.

The long street was silent, with the occasional call of a watchman, and the sound of the wheels of the carriage was particularly ear-piercing.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Qingshu got out of the carriage slowly, and then subconsciously went to support Wen Xueer.

Wen Xueer's hands were trembling slightly.

Wen Xueer walked very slowly, and Shen Qingshu didn't rush her.

Boss Yuan was already waiting by the river with a lantern.

"It's all arranged," he said.

"Thank you," Shen Qingshu nodded and said, "I just want to ask one more question, can it really guarantee safety?"

"The boatman is quite skilled, and besides, they are all my people. He will definitely send Miss Wen to her hometown safely and soundly." Boss Yuan said calmly.

Shen Qingshu's hand that had been holding Wen Xue'er suddenly tightened, as if he didn't want to let go.

"Xue'er, let's... let's go." Shen Qingshu hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly spoke.

Wen Xueer was sleepy and silent.

After Shen Qingshu led Wen Xueer to the boat, he forced a smile: "I will definitely go to see you."

"Cousin, are you really going to send me away?" Wen Xueer's voice was very soft, like a gossamer that was about to break at any time.

"You can't stay in the capital anymore." Shen Qingshu repeated this sentence.

Only when the boat rope was disconnected, Shen Qingshu slowly let go of his hand.

Wen Xue'er didn't move, she just stood quietly beside the boat.

Shen Qingshu couldn't bear to look into her eyes, so he turned around and left.

"Since you are reluctant to give up, why do you want to give it away?" Boss Yuan followed after seeing this.

"you do not understand."

As soon as Shen Qingshu finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound of falling into the water behind him.

not good!Cher fell into the water.This was Shen Qingshu's first reaction.

When Shen Qingshu ran to the shore, he was startled when he saw the thumping figure in the water.

When he was about to jump down, he was suddenly pulled back by Boss Yuan: "Are you a vegetarian as a boatman?"

Shen Qingshu calmed down and stared at the direction where the water splashed.

When Wen Xue'er was rescued, her hair was disheveled, her face was bloodless, and she was so pale that it made people tremble.

She seemed to have fainted, but her hands kept clutching Shen Qingshu's sleeves.

Shen Qingshu wiped off the water drops on her face in a panic: "What should we do now?"

Boss Yuan leaned over, frowned and said, "I can't leave tonight, help her into the carriage and go to my clinic."

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, I found a monopoly boss.

"How about the future? Are you going to send her away?" Boss Yuan asked.

Shen Qingshu looked at the girl's sleeping face, and his eyes flickered: "I didn't think about it."

"Looking at her appearance, it seems that she doesn't want to leave."

"Xue'er is also reserved when she stays in Shen's residence," Shen Qingshu made up an excuse, "If you want her to leave Shen's residence, do you think there is any other way besides letting her marry?"

Boss Yuan thought for a while: "The imperial court has newly established a seat for female officials, which is a proper place to go."

"No, what about the imperial court? It's a place to eat people."

"Don't you want her to be independent from the Shen residence?"

"I want her safe."

"Isn't it safe enough to build walls around Shen's residence?" Boss Yuan gave her a blank look.

"You do not understand."

"I really don't understand," Boss Yuan walked out the door and glanced at the sky, "The Shen family is probably looking for you now."

"Wen Xue'er and I went out to drink at Drunken Immortal Residence. We lost track of the time on a whim." Shen Qingshu thought for a moment.

"Are you bringing disaster to the east?"

"Your Drunken Immortal Residence is indeed open now."

Boss Yuan played with the fan slowly: "Shen Qingshu, you seem to have changed a bit."

"You speak so well...as if I am." Shen Qingshu almost said the original owner.

"You are interesting. I have made this friend." Boss Yuan pulled his feet away suddenly, "I'm going back to Zuixianju. The carriage is still waiting. You can go back as soon as Miss Wen wakes up."

Shen Qingshu was about to say something, but heard a weak "cousin" from behind.

Wen Xueer's eyes were clouded, and she called her cousin softly.

Only then did Shen Qingshu come to his senses, and hurried forward to stroke her forehead, heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it didn't burn."

"Cousin," Wen Xueer said angrily, "I wanted to stand by the boat and take a second look, but the water waves shook the boat and I fell into the water."

"Of course I know you didn't fall into the water on purpose." Shen Qingshu said distressedly.

Wen Xueer's fingers bowed imperceptibly.

"Don't send me away." Wen Xueer begged.

"I..." Shen Qingshu froze, "You are not safe in the capital."

"But I don't want to stay alone in a strange place."

Shen Qingshu bowed his head in thought, and after a while he said: "We'll talk about this later, I'll take you back to Shen's residence first."

When getting into the carriage, Shen Qingshu wanted to hold Wen Xueer's hand, but touched her cold clothes first.

"Xue'er, take off your clothes."

"Huh?" Wen Xueer was slightly taken aback.

"Be careful of catching a cold."

"It should be cooler if you take it off. The slight redness on Wen Xue'er's cheeks was covered by the night.

"It's okay, you wear mine." Shen Qingshu said as he was about to take off his clothes.
