Qi Zheng looked at the little girl amusedly, and she looked at him confidently, as if it would be easy for him to write it off.
Shen Ziqiao really thought so.
From the first day she appeared in this bloody book, she and Qi Zheng seemed to have an inextricable knot, and she was always in a weak position, being used time and time again by him.
Now that he saved her once, the two phases would naturally cancel each other out.
Qi Zheng laughed, his shining eyes were as beautiful as obsidian.
"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!" Shen Zikai's anxious voice came from outside the shop.
When Shen Ziqiao turned her head, she saw Shen Zikai leafing through the pages vigorously from the horseback, and striding into the shop, the tense expression on her face relaxed only when she saw her.
"Brother." The moment Shen Zikai walked in, Shen Ziqiao's eyes turned red, and all the fear and grievance rushed up.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shen Zikai wrapped his arms around Shen Ziqiao's shoulders, comforting her softly like he coaxed her when he was a child.
In the military camp, he heard that there were people making trouble in Mipu, and when Miss San was here, he was really frightened.
He understands his sister's character very well. She loves the weak and fears the hard, and is sometimes impulsive and reckless. These people deliberately came to frame her, how could she bear it.
What if she gets hurt
Qi Zheng's dark eyes kept looking at Shen Ziqiao. Just a moment ago, he was like a fighting tigress fighting against all those who wanted to frame her, but now he was like a wounded kitten, acting like a baby with Shen Zikai docilely and obediently. Unprepared to show his weakness in front of him.
For some reason, Qi Zheng suddenly felt an inexplicable soreness in his chest.
She would always fight with all her hair on end, she would never act like a spoiled child to him, let alone show her weakness to him.
Also, he is not her big brother.
After comforting Shen Ziqiao, Shen Zikai quickly learned about the situation from Shopkeeper Fan and others.
Only then did they realize that Qi Zheng was left aside in the cold.
"Brother Qi. You have helped me so much today, otherwise it would be unimaginable. I will come to thank you in person someday." Shen Zikai bowed to Qi Zheng gratefully.
"Master Shen, you don't have to be polite, it's just a matter of little effort." Qi Zheng ignored the strange feeling in his heart, and smiled back at Shen Zikai.
"Your effort is Jiaojiao's life-saving grace." Shen Zikai said.
With a smile in Qi Zheng's eyes, he glanced at Shen Ziqiao whose expression had returned to normal. She lowered her head, as if she didn't hear what they said.
The two big men were talking, and they went outside to talk in a tacit understanding.
Don't know what to say.
Shen Ziqiao pursed her lips, frowned and glanced at Mipu. Ask shopkeeper Fan, "Did a lot of things get smashed?"
"Several bags of rice were robbed..." Shopkeeper Fan led his assistants to settle the matter.
"Don't be in a hurry, go and bandage the wound. It's already bleeding." Shen Ziqiao said, asking the injured people in the store to take care of their injuries first.
Shopkeeper Fan said to Shen Ziqiao guiltily, "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of the guys in the store."
It turned out that there were two guys in Mipu, one was bought by Li Junjie. Disappeared yesterday.
"It's none of your business, it's because Li Junjie is unconvinced and deliberately wants to provoke trouble." Shen Ziqiao's eyes burst into intense anger.
She did not believe that Li Junjie did what he did today, and the old lady of the Shen family would not know about it.
Immortal! She wished she could die!
Shen Zikai said something to Qi Zheng, and when they came back, Qi Zheng had already left.
"Jiaojiao. Leave this place to elder brother, I'll take you back first." Shen Zikai was worried that his sister would stay here.
"Okay." Shen Ziqiao didn't object, she didn't want to be brave.
On the way back to Shen's house. Shen Zikai did not ride a horse, but sat in the carriage with Shen Ziqiao.
"Brother, no matter whether I can manage the house or not, and what the profit or loss of the shop is, I will get back my mother's dowry." There was no longer any fear and fear on Shen Ziqiao's face. His eyes were calm and serene, and his tone was extremely firm.
If you get to this point. If she still can't get back Pan's dowry, then she is at a loss.
Shen Zikai patted her head, but said nothing.
…
…
Li's mother knelt on the ground trembling all over, shaking like a sieve, unable to speak a word.
Mrs. Shen closed her eyes slightly, and the rosary in her hand kept turning, as if she didn't know that Mother Li was kneeling in front of her.
"Old lady..." Mother Li cried.
She knew about her nephew, she thought it was just a little lesson, and she could give her and the old lady a sigh of relief, but she never thought that there would be such a big trouble, let alone that that bastard would dare to attack the third lady.
Now that the Eldest Master and Eldest Young Master have been angered, if the old lady doesn't show up, her nephew... I'm afraid he will die.
"I can't save you." Mrs. Shen spit out a sentence lightly from her mouth.
This incident angered the Elder Master. If she still insisted on clinging to Mother Li and her nephew, the eldest son and grandson would be completely alienated from her.
Mother Li wept softly.
Shen Xiao's tall figure appeared by the door with bitter anger.
"Master..." Mama Li yelled in fear, and just as she was begging for mercy, her heart was immediately kicked hard.
Li's mother was kicked until she vomited blood. She didn't dare to cry out for the pain, but kept crying for mercy.
"Seeing that you have served the old lady wholeheartedly, and I will spare your life, you can't stay in the Shen family, pack up your things and get out of the Shen family." Shen Xiao had a sullen face, with murderous eyes in his eyes, "As for your nephew, he Don't even think about stepping out of prison again in this life, get out."
Mother Li hugged Mrs. Shen's calf and cried bitterly.
Mrs. Shen's eyelids trembled slightly, and words of intercession came to her lips. Mama Li was her dowry maid, and she had been with her for decades, and she had worked hard without merit, so she was kicked out of the Shen family because of her old age.
"I've already forgiven you lightly, if you are still dissatisfied, don't blame me for venting my anger on your entire Li family." Shen Xiao said coldly.
After learning about what happened to Jiaojiao in West Street, Shen Xiao had never been so angry, especially knowing that the person who provoked the trouble was Li Junjie, he almost ordered everyone in the Li family to be tied up and killed one by one.
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight at her son.
Facing his mother's gaze, Shen Xiao's face remained motionless.
In order to take care of his mother's face, he has hurt his son and daughter too many times. If he can't protect them well, what kind of face will he have to see his dead wife in the future as a father.
Old Mrs. Shen slowly let go of her hand holding the rosary, "Go, our fate as master and servant is over."
Mother Li burst into tears.
In just three days, Shen Xiao arrested all the people involved in the trouble at Mipu, except Li Junjie, the instigator, who was imprisoned and could never get out, and the others were punished with sticks varying in severity.
For the past three days, Shen Ziqiao didn't interfere with this matter. She was ordered by Shen Xiao to rest at home, thinking that she was frightened at West Street, so she deliberately found time to talk to her every day, and Shen Zikai even came to accompany her at lunch and dinner. looking at her.
Someone vented her anger for her, Shen Ziqiao was happy and relaxed, so she didn't care about anything, except eating and sleeping every day.
Because of this incident, Sheng Peiyin, who was almost ignored by Shen Ziqiao, appeared in Shen's house again.
Ever since the Ninth Prince and others made Qi Zheng embarrassing in Shangpin Building last time, Sheng Peiyin seemed to have forgotten her existence as cannon fodder. Shen Ziqiao was so happy to be ignored by Sheng Peiyin. It didn't take a few days for the heroine to remember her.
"Jiaojiao, what's the matter with you? Why haven't I heard that you still run a rice shop before?" Sheng Peiyin took Shen Ziqiao's hand and asked with concern.
Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, "It's just that life is too boring, let's open a shop for fun."
"Is this something you can play?" Sheng Peiyin gave her a sharp look, "I heard... you are betting with old Mrs. Shen for your mother's dowry?"
How does she know? Shen Ziqiao immediately became vigilant, only a few members of their family knew about this matter, how did Sheng Peiyin inquire about it
"My mother's dowry is mine, the old lady just keeps it for me." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, but began to worry whether Sheng Peiyin was going to attack the Shen family.
If she remembered correctly, Sheng Peiyin started to deal with Shen Xiao and his son after they returned to Beijing.
Where will you start
To seduce Shen Zikai? But now it seems that Shen Zikai doesn't look like he is attracted by this heroine.
Sheng Peiyin smiled, "You, what a child."
"What is Sister Sheng doing these days?" Since Shen Ziqiao was treated as a child, of course she pretended to be as naive as she could be.
"It's nothing, just... Just embroider at home and look at the account books." Sheng Peiyin's eyes flickered slightly, and his cheeks burned red as he thought of something.
Huh? Did she miss some gossip? Shen Ziqiao became curious, and let out a long voice, "Really?"
"Jiaojiao, the Ninth Prince is getting engaged." Sheng Peiyin suddenly whispered.
"What? So fast?" Shen Ziqiao shouted in surprise, who is that sissy Ninth Prince going to marry? It seems... It seems to be the daughter of some cabinet lord
Didn't the Ninth Prince get engaged after Sheng Peiyin entered the palace
Sheng Peiyin has entered the palace as a female official? Already working with the prince
"Yes, but the Ninth Prince refused. Now he is missing and he doesn't know where he went. Jiaojiao, what do you think should we do? Will something happen to him?" Sheng Peiyin looked at Shen Ziqiao and said worriedly.
Does that sissy's life and death have anything to do with her
Shen Ziqiao laughed dryly, "Yes, what should I do? Sister Sheng, don't you have a good relationship with the Ninth Prince? Why don't you know where he went?"
"Ninth Prince and I are just casual acquaintances." Sheng Peiyin said in a low voice.
Can a casual acquaintance go to bed...
"Jiaojiao, don't you want to go back to the Ninth Prince? Maybe he will look at you differently because of this?" Sheng Peiyin's voice was full of temptation. Up to now, she still thought that Shen Ziqiao still liked the Ninth Prince.
Shen Ziqiao laughed out loud, "So what if he looks at me with admiration?"
