In fact, Xiang Wen, who went out, was not happy, because Shen Jue went out to buy a birthday present for Yu Qing.
"Today is Yuqing's birthday, I don't know how to pick gifts, you can help me choose one." Shen Jue said to Xiang Wen, paused, and added, "By the way, you can also choose for yourself. ."
His birthday hasn't come yet, Xiang Wen knew that Shen Jue was afraid that he would only buy one gift, and he would find trouble with Yu Qing, but Xiang Wen still thought about it, Shen Jue also helped him buy gifts, I can't say it was completely In this manor, Shen Jue treated him like this, except for the hard-working butler who has been working in the manor, he and Yu Qing were the only ones.
When picking gifts from Wen, Shen Jue just watched and didn't express her opinion. In the end, Xiang Wen chose a tie for himself, while Yu Qing chose a pair of cufflinks. The pair of cufflinks were very valuable. Xiang Wen wanted to show his generosity in front of Shen Jue, so he chose this one. right.
Sure enough, Shen Jue found that Xiang Wen had only bought a normal tie for himself, so he bought other things for Xiang Wen, not only two suits, a few pairs of shoes, but also a piece inlaid with broken pieces for Xiang Wen. Drilled brooch.
Xiang Wen was overjoyed when he saw the brooch, and after reading it for a while, he asked the shopping guide to put it on him.
On the way back, Xiang Wen said thank you several times, but Shen Jue just said, "It's okay, you deserve it."
It is true that Shen Jue has a very good impression of Xiang Wen, because Xiang Wen has been by his side in previous generations, and it was not until the manor behind him was sold that Xiang Wen left the imperial capital. In fact, before leaving, Xiang Wen came to the slum to find Shen Jue, but at that time Shen Jue wanted to save face and was not willing to meet Xiang Wen at all.
It's just that there are some things he has to do, which may make Xiang Wen uncomfortable, so he should buy some gifts to compensate Xiang Wen, which is what he should do.
After Shen Jue and the others returned to the manor, Xiang Wen was busy carrying his large and small bags of gifts back to the room. When he saw Yu Qing, he lost interest in fighting with each other for the first time, but when he passed by Yu Qing, he deliberately smiled.
Yu Qing looked at the large and small bags that Xiang Wen was carrying, and couldn't help squinting her eyes. He was fascinated by the few days in city a, and he gradually woke up after returning to the imperial capital. He is not the most important person in Shen Jue's mind. Even if Shen Jue takes him to talk about business, it does not mean much, especially Xiang Wen also Deliberately said in front of Yu Qing.
"The Duke knows that I can't stand the smell of trains, so I took you there. Don't think you are special."
Shen Jue may be really good to Xiang Wen, or else he would not have been busy buying gifts for Xiang Wen as soon as he came back, obviously feeling so uncomfortable on the train.
…
Before falling asleep, Yuqing massaged Shen Jue's feet as usual, cleaned up the things, and was about to leave when she heard Shen Jue's lazy voice.
"Your present is in my coat pocket, go get it yourself."
Yu Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned around and stared at Shen Jue with burning eyes.
Shen Jue wore a white silk pajamas today, with some embroidery patterns of bamboo and autumn chrysanthemums on it, and the whole person looked extraordinarily elegant. Yu Qing didn't care much about people's appearance, because he was used to seeing his own face, but for some reason, the more he looked at Shen Jue now, the more he couldn't take his eyes off him, and even felt that it was the best thing to look like Shen Jue. OK
"How did the duke know it's my birthday?" he whispered, with undisguised joy in it.
Shen Jue seemed a little unaccustomed to Yu Qing's scorching gaze, and turned her face away slightly, "Someone said it."
"Who said that?" Not many people knew about his birthday, and Yu Qing couldn't think of anyone who would tell Shen Jue about this. But he didn't get an accurate answer to this question. Shen Jue seemed a little annoyed. He frowned and said impatiently, "Why are you asking so many questions? Just take out the gift and go out."
Yu Qing was no longer afraid of Shen Jue's cold face now, he just smiled lowly, walked to the sofa, and picked up the coat that Shen Jue had taken off on it today. No wonder Shen Jue disagreed when he was going to take this dress to wash today, probably because he was afraid that he would find the gift inside.
He reached into his pocket, touched it twice, and took out the small box inside.
Yu Qing first carefully looked at the box before opening it carefully. The exposed pair of cufflinks immediately caught his eye. He had never received such an expensive gift before, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
The people behind seemed to think that Yu Qing had been standing there for too long, and urged: "Why haven't you gone out yet?"
Yu Qing closed the box again, turned around and walked towards Shen Jue. His walking pace is extremely brisk, like a lark, and the smile in his eyes is showing the happiness of this lark.
When Shen Jue saw Yu Qing suddenly come back, and even leaned over, she couldn't help but step back, but before he could speak, Yu Qing's lips fell on his lips coldly, "Thank you Duke, I am very grateful. like."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Shen Jue a chance to speak or get angry.
It was only after leaving the door that Yu Qing leaned against the door and took a deep breath for several rounds, holding the small box tightly in his hand, as if the box would slip away from his hand as long as he relaxed.
Shen Jue cared about him, and even specifically asked about his birthday.
Yu Qing hadn't slept well during the day, he couldn't help looking at the box he put next to the pillow, opening it from time to time to see if the cufflinks were still there.
In fact, he has never received a gift on his birthday. The people in the manor know his birthday. At most, they congratulate him. No one will buy him a gift. For the blood family, life is too long, and birthdays have become very unusual. Strange.
But Yuqing cared very much, because he had no parents when he was young. When he knew that other children would receive gifts on their childhood birthdays, he was always envious. Now, he finally got his present.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a sweet smile, but Yu Qing's good mood disappeared instantly when he met Xiang Wen after getting up.
Yuqing saw the broken diamond brooch on Xiang Bra's chest at a glance. The brooch was so shining that it could almost attract everyone's attention. Even the well-informed housekeeper praised Xiang Wen after seeing it. A brooch, "This brooch is very beautiful, it must be expensive."
Xiang Wen lifted his chin lightly, with three points of pride, "I don't know how much it was, but the duke bought it for me secretly. When I found out, the duke had already settled the bill."
After working with Xiang Wen for so many years, the housekeeper naturally knew Xiang Wen's temperament, so he praised the brooch a few times. Xiang Wen showed off in front of everyone's eyes, and then looked at Yu Qing who was standing in the corner, he showed a smug smile, "Yu Qing, do you think my brooch looks good? It was picked by the Duke himself. What. By the way, do you still like that pair of cufflinks? It took me a long time to choose that pair."
Xiang Wen deliberately put on a brooch tonight because he knew that Yu Qing had already received a gift at this time. He just wanted to let Yu Qing know that his position in Shen Jue's heart was not so easily shaken. Don't think that it's amazing to climb the bed a few times and follow Shen Jue to the far door, after all, it's just a thing on the bed.
The irony in his eyes was so obvious that Yu Qing couldn't ignore it.
Yu Qing felt that his joys during the day seemed to be a joke. He cherished that gift so much, but now he told him that it was picked by Xiang Wen. Maybe Shen Jue simply bought it for him when he bought a brooch, for fear that others would think too much favoritism over the other.
Yu Qing was silent for a while, then said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, the Duke treats Brother Xiang Wen well, it's really enviable."
When Xiang Wen heard the words, he was even more proud. Seeing that the purpose of showing off had been achieved, he stopped talking to Yu Qing. When the golden bell rang downstairs, Xiang Wen took the lead up the stairs, and Yu Qing followed behind him.
Xiang Wenwen thought that Yuqing's mood tonight would not be very good. He didn't know that the other party was still the same as before, and he couldn't look sad at all. It was obvious that when he saw his brooch, his eyes suddenly changed.
Really good at disguising, no wonder the Duke was deceived by him.
Xiang Wen felt that he had a mission to uncover Yuqing's illusion in front of Shen Jue, so for the next few days, he wore his dazzling diamond brooch every day until one day, Xiang Wen discovered his brooch. gone.
Xiang Wen was so anxious that he repeatedly searched the place he had passed by several times, but he couldn't find it. Finally, he put his eyes on Yu Qing.
"It's you! You took my brooch!" Xiang Wen glared at Yu Qing.
Yu Qing looked at Xiang Wen in surprise, "Brother Xiang Wen, why do you think so? How could I take your brooch?"
"Who else is it? You are the only one in this manor who can't deal with me. You must be jealous of me, right? Who made your gift just a pair of cheap cufflinks." Xiang Wen sneered, "I advise you to hurry up. Hand over my brooch, and if I find it from your body or your room later, I will definitely tell the Duke and let the Duke send you to the judge."
Yu Qing just shook her head when she heard the words, "Brother Xiang Wen, I really didn't take your things."
"You're still pretending!" Xiang Wen was about to search his body, but Yu Qing avoided it.
His face darkened slightly, "Brother Xiang Wen, you can't search your body without evidence. If you doubt it, you can tell the housekeeper. If the housekeeper also believes that I have taken your belongings, you can search."
Xiang Wen frowned and had no choice but to go to the housekeeper. When the housekeeper heard Xiang Wen say that Yuqing took the brooch, he laughed and said, "What's wrong? Yuqing is a good boy, how could he take your brooch? Look carefully to see if it's left somewhere?"

"I've searched for it, but I couldn't find it. It must be Yu Qing who took it. He either hid it on his body or in his room. If he doesn't find it now, maybe he will sell it. It's the Duke who bought it. Yes." Xiang Wen said urgently.
The housekeeper felt that Xiang Wen was really unreasonable, but since Xiang Wen mentioned the Duke, he had no choice but to take Xiang Wen to Yuqing.
Yu Qing knew that she was going to search her body, her expression was calm, but she repeated to Xiang Wen, "Brother Xiang Wen, I really didn't take your things."
"Hmph, you'll find out after a search." Xiang Wen immediately touched Yu Qing's pocket.
There was none on Yuqing's body. Xiang Wen and the housekeeper went to Yuqing's room again. They turned the room upside down, and did not find the precious diamond brooch. Seeing this, the butler sighed, "Xiang Wen, since Yuqing doesn't have it here, you'd better look elsewhere, and don't like to doubt the people in the manor so much in the future."
Xiang Wen thought it was Yu Qing who took it, but he has no evidence now. The loss of the brooch had already made him very sad. Now that the housekeeper was talking to Yu Qing, he was even more angry. He didn't apologize to Yu Qing and went out directly.
Seeing Xiang Wen leaving, the butler shook his head helplessly, he looked at Yu Qing, "I've wronged you, I still have to mention this to the Duke, Xiang Wen's temper really needs to change, the crime of theft is It's too much for him to put such a serious crime on someone else's head at will."
Yu Qing shook his head gently, "It's okay, Brother Xiang Wen..." He paused, "Brother Xiang Wen has never liked me, I'm used to it."
The housekeeper sighed again, reached out and patted Yu Qing on the shoulder, and went out.
Yu Qing, who stayed in the room, looked at the mess on the ground and laughed suddenly.
His beautiful clear eyes were full of coldness.
…
Xiang Wen searched for several days but could not find the brooch, and the housekeeper also told Shen Jue about it. After Shen Jue found out, after a while of silence, he called Xiang Wen over. Yuqing watched Xiang Wen enter Shen Jue's study. When Xiang Wen entered, his eyes were full of panic, but when he came out, it seemed like a different person.
"Are you here?" Xiang Wen strode over when he saw Yuqing, he knew that the housekeeper went to Shen Jue to talk about the brooch because of Yuqing, "Thank you for letting the housekeeper sue me. , do you know? The duke told me not to look for it, which means that Ye will buy me a better one." Seeing Yuqing's complexion changing slightly, he became even more complacent. Success, aren't you very angry? If you like my brooch, keep it, it wasn't bought for you by the Duke anyway, shameless."
After Xiang Wen finished speaking, he turned to leave, but the voice behind him stopped him.
"Brother Xiang Wen."
Xiang Wendun stopped and didn't look back, "What are you doing?"
Yu Qing said softly, "Brother Xiang Wen is wrong. I didn't take Brother Xiang Wen's brooch. Maybe that brooch is still on Brother Xiang Wen's body."
Hearing this, Xiang Wen felt inexplicably weird. He looked back at Yu Qing and frowned suspiciously, "What are you talking about? Why do I have that brooch on my body? I've been looking for it for several days. ."
Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were extraordinarily bright, "I just think that the brooch may still be on Brother Xiang Wen's body, it doesn't mean anything else."
Looking at Yu Qing's expression, Xiang Wen felt even more strange.
At this time, the two of them were standing on the long corridor. Recently, a light in the long corridor was broken. It was not repaired, and the light was much dim. He opened his face, but the smile at the corner of his lips was cleared by the light again, and with his beautiful face, it looked strange and beautiful.
Xiang Wen was inexplicably flustered, so he waved his hand, "I don't know what you are talking about." He turned around and left in a hurry.
Only halfway down the stairs, he couldn't help but look back.
Yu Qing walked out of the darkness, he was standing at the entrance of the stairs, looking at Xiang Wen.
Seeing Xiang Wen turn back, the smile on Yuqing's lips deepened, and in an instant, he suppressed the smile again, looked at Xiang Wen with cold eyes, opened his lips slightly, and said a word silently.
Xiang Wen was startled, but Yu Qing had already turned around and entered Shen Jue's study. He couldn't help but chased a few steps forward, but thought that Shen Jue asked him to send a letter outside, so he stopped again. Forget it, let that guy Yuqing go crazy.
Xiang Wen was accustomed to Yu Qing's weakness, and did not take this humble half-blood clan in his eyes.
…
After Yuqing entered the study, he put the brewed blood tea beside Shen Jue's right hand, and put a piece of sugar on the exquisite tea cup containing the blood tea cup.
"The duke has read the book for so long, take a rest." He said softly, and stood behind Shen Jue again, helping him massage his shoulders and neck, just pressing and pressing, the cold hand gradually slipped under the collar .
Shen Jue frowned, grabbed Yu Qing's hand with his backhand, and whispered, "Don't make trouble, what did Xiang Wen just say to you outside?"
He heard a movement.
As a matter of fact, about the loss of Xiang Wen's brooch, Shen Jue did not expect it. He found that Xiang Wen was too ostentatious during this time. It was a matter of time before he lost the brooch. The thing is that the housekeeper will tell him about it.
Although the butler usually takes special care of Yu Qing, he will not scold Xiang Wen because of Yuqing's fault, but this time, the butler came to him because of the two personal servants, which is obviously a little strange. deal with.
Butler handling and telling the master are two different meanings. However, Shen Jue is going to protect Xiang Wen. Although Xiang Wen is usually a little public, his heart is not bad, not to mention that his brooch is gone. It is estimated that the most sad person is himself. If Shen Jue punishes him again, it will be a bit excessive. .
Of course, this was an idea from Shen Jue's point of view, but Shen Jue handled it so gently, and even had to make up a brooch for Xiang Wen. In the eyes of others, Shen Jue deliberately favored Xiang Wen.
…
Yu Qing's hand was caught, and he didn't resist, he simply embraced Shen Jue with one hand from behind, a bit of grievance appeared on his beautiful face, "Brother Xiang Wen still suspects that I took it, and just said let me Don't be complacent, Duke, I really didn't take it." He looked sideways at Shen Jue, his eyes clear, "You believe me, right?"
"Well, Xiang Wen lost his brooch, that's why he did this, don't bother with him." Shen Jue let go of Yu Qing's hand and picked up the candy on the teacup, "I remember that the candy had been eaten long ago, Where did you get all this candy?"
In fact, not many people in the manor found that Shen Jue liked candy, and Shen Jue would not go to the kitchen specially.
Yu Qing smiled, stood up straight, and continued to massage Shen Jue, "I bought it from outside, does the Duke like it? I like it, I'll buy some more next time."
Shen Jue heard this, but put down the sugar, "No need."
During this time, he ate too much candy, he should have restrained himself, and this incident also revealed that Yu Qing was a very delicate person, he would take the initiative to observe his preferences, and even knew that Shen Jue touched him. Anything related to blood will crave sugar. When he brought snacks last night, he didn't put sugar beside him.
Yu Qing glanced at the candy that was put back, his eyes changed slightly, but his movements and tone remained the same, "Okay."
He massaged Shen Jue for a while and then went out, while Shen Jue continued to read the ledger in the room. Recently, he had to deal with a lot of things. He didn't care about these things in previous lives. He had to let the housekeeper go outside to hire an accountant who specialized in accounting books.
On the second night, Shen Jue took Xiang Wen to buy a new brooch. This time, the brooch was no longer broken diamonds, but inlaid with gems. It was a precious emerald. The gem was crystal clear. Glittering under the lights. This time Xiang Wen had learned from the past, he stopped showing off, and put away the brooch properly.
But Yuqing was very interested in Xiangwen's brooch, and asked a few questions. Seeing that Xiangwen didn't say anything, Yuqing turned to ask Shen Jue, "Duke, isn't Brother Xiangwen's brooch beautiful? I listen. Said there was a huge gem."
Shen Jue took the sorted ledger from the accountant, and to Yu Qing's question, he just answered perfunctorily, "It's okay, Yu Qing, if you have nothing to do, go outside and help with dinner."
Yuqing responded, but just said something to Xiang Wen as he left, "Brother Xiang Wen, I am really envious. I have a diamond brooch, and now I have a gem brooch."
Xiang Wen frowned, glanced in Shen Jue's direction, and then said to Yu Qing, "What are you talking about in a mess, I only have one, didn't I lose the previous one?"
Yu Qing smiled, "I know, but if you lose this one, the Duke will definitely buy a better one for you."
After he finished speaking, he walked out quickly. Xiang Wen looked at the back of him leaving, and frowned even more. Before, Yu Qing never cared about his brooch, but since Shen Jue bought him a new brooch, Yu Qing That guy Qing is always asking around curiously, it's really annoying, he doesn't know what he wants to do.
But Xiang Wen didn't expect that on the payday a few days later, he went shopping on the street and was robbed at the market. Those people were a bunch of gangsters who suddenly blocked him in the alley and asked him to hand over his money. Xiang Wen was afraid of death. Seeing that the other party was aggressive, he quickly took out all the money in his pocket. Fortunately, although he paid a salary, he did not take out all the money.
The leader saw the money that Xiang Wen had handed over, and snorted coldly, "Just order it here? I heard that you are a duke's valet, and you are very favored, right? There should be other valuables on you. thing?"
Xiang Wen didn't expect that the other party actually knew his identity, so he knew that the other party must have come to him this time, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "I'll go out to buy some small things, I only have so much money on my body, there is really nothing else worthwhile. something."
"Are you sure? If we find out, you won't have any good fruit to eat." The leader said.
Xiang Wen shook his head in a panic, "No, if you don't believe me, see!" He flipped out both of his trouser pockets, which were empty. "Nothing."
The leader's eyes swept around Xiang Wen's body, and finally put his eyes on Xiang Wen's brown thick-soled Martin boots.
