Zhao Fu
Ever since the appointment with Xiao Concubine was made, no matter how busy Zhao Zun was, he would find time to return home, and he hadn't been seen for three days in a row, just wondering.
"Master, there is a maid outside the door looking for Second Miss."
Zhao Zun rolled his eyes at Zhao Qi, "How can there be a second lady in the mansion?"
"The subordinates also said the same thing, but the servant girl was firm and said that she was Miss Xiao Jiu's personal servant girl."
Zhao Zun understood, "Let her in, and take her to see Second Miss by the way."
Zhao Qi thought he heard it wrong, Zhao Zun glanced at Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi immediately understood.
About half an hour later, Zhao Zun held the letter from Xiao Concubine in his hand. He first apologized and then carefully listed all kinds of peony flower precautions, and there was no explanation at the end.
"Is there any movement in Xiangfu these days?" Zhao Zun asked with narrowed eyes.
Zhao Qi shook his head.
"Send someone to inquire about the news, and see if anyone has been out of the Prime Minister's residence in the past few days. The Prime Minister is indeed an old fox, and he was sent away under his nose."
Zhao Qi was confused when he heard this, "Our people have been watching, can Miss Xiao escape?"
"Today you go to investigate and see if the person is still there!"
Zhao Zun stood up and put down the ledger in hand, his mind was spinning fast, wondering where the right minister could get it for others.
Two hours later, Zhao Qi came back with a droopy face, and Xiao Concubine was indeed not in the mansion.
"I beg you to punish me, it's because my subordinates are not doing their job effectively."
Zhao Zun didn't get angry at all, "The prime minister of the right minister for so many years is not fake, how can he have no means to send someone to find him!"
"yes!"
Because she sent Xiao Concubine away, the old lady was so angry that she ignored Prime Minister Right for several days, and Prime Minister Right didn't let go of her mouth even though she broke her mouth.
"If something happens to Xiaojiu, don't blame me for being rude."
The old lady bluffed and glared angrily at Prime Minister Right.
Prime Minister Right's mouth twitched, "My son knows, Xiao Jiu is also my daughter, and I can still harm her. Don't worry, mother, everything is properly arranged."
The old lady still had a stern face, she squinted at the right minister and snorted coldly, the right minister looked helpless.
No matter how noisy the capital is, Xiao Concubine went out of the capital and traveled around the mountains and rivers all the way, feeling extremely happy.
"Miss, the beautiful mountains and clear waters here are not like Kyoto, so beautiful!" Hongxiu chatted non-stop along the way.
From time to time, Concubine Xiao would chime in, "It's good to go out to relax, and bring grandma for a walk later."
It took ten days to walk, and finally arrived at the place, called Leisure Villa.
Seeing the guests, the boy in the mountain hurried forward and said, "This must be Miss Xiao, I have been waiting for a long time, this way please."
Xiao Concubine nodded, she had heard a lot about the Leisure Villa in her previous life, the owner of the villa was named Shen Liuyun, he was very skilled in medicine, and he was also an old acquaintance with the right minister.
Shen Liuyun has three sons, the eldest is Shen Mo, the second son is Shen Yi, and the youngest son is Shen Feng. The three sons are suave and suave, and they are also well-known outside the world.
"The owner of my family and the Prime Minister on the right are friends for more than 20 years. He specially entrusted the girl to the owner to teach the girl to study medicine for three months. The girl is here."
While talking, the young servant guided Xiao Concubine to the right path.
Concubine Xiao nodded repeatedly, recalling the information about Xianxia Villa in her mind, and just as she was thinking, she came to the main courtyard after a while.
Standing in front of the door was a man in his forties, dressed in black robes, with a handsome face and a light temperament, even if his appearance was comparable to the one on the right.
"Xiao Concubine pays homage to Uncle Shen." Xiao Concubine made a big salute to Shen Liuyun.
Shen Liuyun saw consternation flashing in Xiao Concubine's eyes, "You...you are Xiao Jiu?"
Concubine Xiao raised her eyes, then nodded, "Concubine Xiao is indeed ranked ninth in the family. If Uncle Shen doesn't mind, just call Xiao Jiu."
"Okay! Good boy, get up quickly, I haven't seen you for so many years, and it has grown so big in a flash."
It was rare for Shen Liuyun to show his fatherly affection. He had no daughters and only three sons, and he always had a very serious appearance.
"Little sister Jiu, you can just call me Brother Feng in the future, I am the third brother." Shen Feng impatiently stepped forward, his big eyes were as black as stars, "If someone bullies you in the future, I will take it out on your behalf! "
"By the way, I don't know who was bruised and swollen by Cousin Yuan a few days ago, and dared to speak wild words!"
At this time, a man pushed Shen Feng away with a look of disgust, and turned to look at Xiao Concubine with a gentle expression, "I am the second brother, Shen Yi."
"Second Brother!" Shen Feng blushed, and his big innocent eyes were full of anger, "That's because I let him go, I don't have the same knowledge as him, why are you still helping outsiders?"
Shen Yi glanced at Shen Feng, "I've always been a helper and not a relative, even if I lose, can I still lie against my conscience?"
"You!" Shen Feng curled his lips, how dare he talk back to Shen Yi, but he secretly made up his mind to go to his mother to sue, and punish the second elder brother severely.
Concubine Xiao covered her mouth and smiled, the two brothers got along very warmly, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.
"Xiao Jiu is here for the first time, how decent are the two of you!"
When Shen Liuyun taught his son a lesson, he was unequivocal, with a rather stern face.
Shen Feng was most afraid of Shen Liuyun on weekdays, so he shrank his neck immediately.
"Uncle Shen, the third brother and the second brother are very good. It's not like my family has no elder brothers, but a bunch of sisters."
Seeing this, Miss Xiao hurriedly stood up to help explain.
"Little sister Jiu, I will definitely not bully you in the future, you are too pitiful." Shen Feng said suddenly.
The corner of Xiao Concubine's mouth twitched, and Shen Liuyun glared at Shen Feng fiercely, "Xiao Jiu is in the villa, if he is bullied, I will be the first one who can't get around him, so be careful!"
Shen Yi said, "Father, don't worry, little sister Jiu is a guest, and we will take good care of her."
For Xiao Concubine, the two brothers fell in love with her immediately.
Shen Feng kept nodding his head, blinking his eyes at Shen Liuyun, the corners of Xiao Concubine's mouth slightly raised.
Shen Liuyun squinted at Shen Feng, after all, he wanted to save some face, so he stopped the topic and did not continue.
"Xiao Jiu, brother is not here today, it will take a few days to come back, but it doesn't matter, we still have us if brother is not here, the villa is so fun, I will take you there later..."
Before Shen Feng could finish speaking, he received a stare, immediately shrank his neck obediently, and looked at Shen Yi for help.
"Father, Xiao Jiu must have not eaten all the way here, let's go in and talk about it." Shen Yi stood up and said.
Xiao Concubine only felt that getting along with them was much simpler than the sisters in the mansion, without those twists and turns, it was very simple.
"Xiao Jiu, don't be too polite. If you are bullied, just bring it up. Your uncle will make the decision for you. If you need anything, just mention it."
Shen Liuyun didn't know why, but he loved Xiao Concubine very much, like his own daughter.
Concubine Xiao nodded and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Uncle Shen, Xiao Jiuzhi will definitely not be polite."
Shen Liuyun immediately smiled, "Your father is lucky to give birth to such a lovely girl like you."
Concubine Xiao smiled, "Second and third elder brothers are also very good, and my father often envies Uncle Shen for having three excellent sons under his knees."
When Shen Liuyun heard this, he immediately straightened his waist. Although he said that, the pride in his eyes did not seem to be fake.
"It's a rare time when the old fox is envious. If he likes it, why not give him some?" Shen Liuyun said generously.
When Shen Feng and Shen Yi heard this, their complexions immediately turned dark. How could they despise their son so much.
Xiao Mi covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her eyes were sincere.
"Who is going to send my son away?" At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in, and she felt very gentle and graceful at a glance.
When Shen Feng saw someone coming, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over in three steps at a time, "Mother!"
