Chapter 52

052 beat the dandy

When Shen Qingru returned to his residence, it was already evening. Aster and her maidservants have lit candles and are waiting anxiously.

As soon as aster saw Shen Qingru, he shouted in surprise, rushed up and hugged Shen Qingru: "Miss, I miss you so much."

Shen Qingru also tried his best to repay Shiwan and said with a smile, "Shiwan, I miss you too."

Chu Yue, Chaoyang and Shen Xi's three maidservants looked at each other with a smile. Although they were the first-class maids in Shen Qingru's room like aster, they were far from as close as aster and Shen Qingru.

They dare not and cannot do such an act of embracing the Lord regardless of dignity and inferiority. If the Lord blames them and treats them with a crime of no dignity or inferiority, they can't afford it. However, looking at the appearance that aster and the eldest lady are close as sisters, there is a trace of envy in their hearts.

Will there really be masters in this world who regard slaves as sisters?

Aster hugged Shen Qingru for a while and then loosened. He touched Shen Qingru's wet clothes and couldn't help complaining and looked at his young lady. While hurriedly asking the little servant girls to boil water, he took clean clothes and supervised Shen Qingru to change them. He blamed Shen Qingru for not taking care of his body.

Shen Qingru smiled and listened to the aster's nagging. Half a ring, the aster seemed to think of something. He patted his head and said, "I almost forgot." Shen Qingru was stunned. He saw the aster and Chu Yue, Chaoyang and Shen Xi worship together: "Congratulations, miss. You have to be the county leader."

It turned out that it was this. Shen Qingru pulled out a faint smile from the corners of her mouth, which made Chu Yue look slightly stunned. It seems that the eldest lady doesn't pay attention to being the county leader

"Thank you." Shen Qingru nodded and motioned aster to take his jewelry box. In order to save face, the imperial concubine gave her a lot of jewelry. In addition to giving one to her grandmother, one to Aunt Chu, one to Aunt Le, and one to the disgusting Qin family, there were still many good things left.

She took four kinds of valuable jewelry from the jewelry box and gave them to the four first-class servant girls around her.

Aster gets a gold wire inlaid with ruby, Shuangluan points and shakes with emerald steps, Chu Yue gets a gold wire fragrant wood inlaid with cicada and jade bead hairpin, a pair of cloisonne Red Coral Earrings in the morning, and a blue and white glass bead inlaid with gold wrist bracelet in the morning.

Rao Shi Chu Yue was born in an official family. She had seen a lot of precious jewelry since she was a child. She couldn't help but be happy when she saw the transparent cicada jade bead hairpin. She thanked the eldest lady and made a gesture on her head with joy. So did aster and Chaoyang. Only Shen Xi stood there with the gold inlaid wrist bracelet in his hand.

Shen Qingru looked at Shen Xi with a different color on his face and asked softly, "but don't you like it?"

Shen Xi quickly shook her head. Seeing that the eldest lady was still looking at herself, she had to lift her sleeves and quickly put the gold inlaid wrist bracelet on her wrist. She smiled and said, "I like it very much. Thank you for your reward."

At the moment when Shen Xi opened her sleeves, Shen Qingru saw a green jade bracelet on her wrist. The jade bracelet was transparent and glittering. It was obviously not ordinary.

This bracelet is obviously expensive. Shen Qingru once heard that Aunt Qian said that Shen Xi's family was poor, his parents were ill, and his brother was young, so he was sold as a slave. Now Shen Xi wears such a precious bracelet. What's more strange is that she carefully covers the bracelet in her sleeve and doesn't dare to be seen by outsiders.

Who gave this expensive Jasper Bracelet to Shen Xi?

Shen Qingru smiled quietly. An expensive Bracelet alone can't explain what's wrong with Shen Xi. But if someone with a heart wants to do something with Shen Xi's hand, she doesn't mind catching Shen Xi and the people behind the scenes.

The next day, Shen Qingru sent Shen Xi to get the lotus cake in the kitchen on the pretext of eating it. When Shen Xi is away, call aster to ask.

"Has anyone been looking for Shen Xi recently?" Ziwan scratched his head after listening to Shen Qingru's doubts: "Shen Xi keeps her duty and works neatly. I haven't seen her go out with people in other rooms."

"Has anyone come to see her at home?" Shen Qingru thought and asked.

”In addition to his father who can't work and his mother who has been ill in bed for a long time, there is only one brother left in Chenxi's family. It is said that her brother is ignorant all day and gambles and squanders with his money. He is really a black sheep of the family. It seems that her brother came to see her half a month ago... "

"The eldest lady suspected Shen Xi's betrayal..." Ziwan wanted to stop talking. She liked Shen Xi very much because she was diligent and not talkative. But if Shen Xi really betrayed the eldest lady, Ziwan would never spare her for that love.

"It's better to catch Shen Xi and interrogate him." aster impulsively suggested. She is loyal to Shen Qingru, so she can't accept Shen Xi's betrayal. Shen Qingru shook her head slightly. Without evidence, she didn't want to scare the snake. She ordered aster to observe Shen Xi's every move secretly.

No matter how cunning the fox is, it will show its tail. The person behind the scenes must also be watching secretly. When the wind is calm, these people are bound to fight again, and then she will catch all these people who are sneaking in.

After a few days, it was very calm. I don't know whether Shen Xi found himself exposed, or whether the people behind the scenes decided to stop temporarily. Shen Xi still takes good care of Shen Qingru's daily life. Aster also reports to Shen Qingru that he has not seen Shen Xi contact with outsiders. Shen Qingru nodded and told aster to continue to be careful about Shen Xi, so he left it behind for the time being.

On this day, the weather was hot and dry, and cicadas were noisy. Grandma sent someone to send a message. The sun is too poisonous. Don't go over and say hello. Shen Qingru felt dizzy, so she thanked her grandmother for her kindness and spent the summer in her house.

Chaoyang was ordered to go to the ice warehouse to get the ice. When he came back, he handed a colorful note to Shen Qingru: "when I went to get the ice, I met the screen next to the young master and said that I was going to send a letter to the young lady on behalf of the young master. But when I happened to meet the young master, I asked the young master to bring it to the young lady."

A letter from my brother?

Shen Qingru took the color note and saw that it said: it's very comforting to hear that my sister has to be the county leader. I've prepared a small banquet in Hailan Pavilion. I hope you don't break your appointment. "

The handwriting is beautiful, sparse and flowing. It's really my brother's handwriting. That's right.

Shen Qingru looked at the sunny sky outside the window and was slightly distracted. After half a sound, she slowly said, "call everyone in the yard, take your weapons and go to this appointment with someone who has a heart."

Chaoyang was stunned and couldn't believe his ears. Miss, are you going to go to the young master's banquet with all the people in the yard armed?

Looking at Shen Qingru's quiet eyes, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Chaoyang's heart.

With the sun shining high, Zheng Qing hid on the only way for Shen Qingru to go to Hailan Pavilion, and his sweat flowed down his neck. Zheng Qing wiped his sweat and said anxiously, "why haven't you come yet?"

In the distance, a tall and slender figure came towards the garden. The young man quickly reminded his young master: "young master, Miss Shen is coming."

Zheng Qing turned over and looked at the beautiful figure. Shen Qingru is wearing a light green cloud skirt today, which is very refreshing in this hot weather. In terms of appearance, although Shen Qingru is not as bright as cousin Muyun, she is also a beautiful and refined little beauty. In particular, the snow-white wrist in the rolled up sleeve made Zheng Qing look straight more and more. Zheng Qing couldn't help getting excited when he thought that he could hold the little beauty in his arms and kiss Fangze immediately.

Seeing Shen Qingru getting closer and closer, Zheng Qing's eyes became more and more obscene. He darted out like a hungry tiger.

Cousin Muyun is considerate for him. First let him hang out with the little beauty, and then let the little boys publicize it for him. At that time, Shen Qingru's reputation and integrity will be damaged. Are you afraid that Shen Xiangye will not give Shen Qingru to a dandy he has always despised?

Zheng Qing's plan was good, but at the moment when he was about to meet Shen Qingru, a cold dagger stabbed straight at his neck. Zheng Qing was surprised and dodged, but he still left a slender wound on his neck. Then, with a numbness under his feet, Zheng Qing fell off guard on the mud and ate shit. Shen Qingru smiled and kicked Zheng Qing's important parts impolitely.

Zheng Qing immediately shed painful tears and snivel. He lay on the ground, howled and shouted for help. Zheng Qing's boys wanted to see the romantic play on the wall. Unexpectedly, their young master suffered a great loss in Miss Shen's hand. He jumped out and shouted, "Miss Shen, show mercy. This is my young master."

Shen Qingru mercilessly continued to kick Zheng Qing's lifeblood and ordered Ziwan and other servant girls to start together: "bold thief, dare to have an evil intention in broad daylight, and want to pretend to be my cousin and damage my cousin's reputation! Beat me hard, go back and be punished if you don't contribute, and you will be rewarded if you play well!"

As soon as these words came out, the servant women who had been hesitating about whether young master Zheng was completely relieved. Since it's not young master Zheng, it's a potential thief in the mansion. The thief should be beaten! Besides, the eldest lady is generous by nature. She said that there must be good things to reward. A group of servant girls worked hard around Zheng Qing.

After playing incense for a full time, the servant girls and women were really tired, so they stopped. The boy came forward trembling and looked down at his son. His fat face was like a dyeing workshop, red, purple, green... Colorful. He couldn't see his original appearance.

Zheng Qing was already more angry and less air intake. His eyes were swollen into a seam. His distiller's grains nose was tilted to one side and lay on the ground humming. The boy saw the tragedy of his childe, and worried that Mrs. Zheng couldn't get around herself after going back. He couldn't help holding Zheng Qingtong and crying, "my poor childe..."

Shen Qingru heard the speech and came forward with great interest to examine Zheng Qing's obscene fat face lying on the ground. After half a ring, he pretended to be surprised and said, "it's really Zheng's cousin."
