She remained motionless, just looking at him.
Chen Fangyan watched, the smile on his face gradually faded, he stared into her eyes tightly and said word by word: "Second Miss, why do you look at me like that?"
Shen Nanbao was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had lost her composure again. She lowered her head hastily, and her hair on her temples fell down due to this move.
She didn't use her little finger to hook her, because she was afraid that when she stretched out her hand, he would see her hand clenched tightly into a fist.
It was only now that she realized that she had never let go of her hatred.
In other words, those hatreds are so deep that they are just rolled up in my heart, so they haven't been crushed into sand and can be scattered by the wind. They just condensed there, forming a gangrene, and it was all blood and bones when lifted up. Lindang.
That's why she couldn't control herself, so she became confused and even wanted to escape, to a place where he wasn't around.
But she couldn't, she had to face it, such as the pair of cautious and alert eyes he showed her, and his words, "Second Miss, why don't you drink?"
drink?
How dare she drink his tea again.
The hand under the armband loosened in vain, and Shen Nanbao pushed the lamp open, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness. I'm here today to see the third brother, so I won't waste any time."
The person opposite didn't respond, only narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he responded: "Since the second lady came to the house, I ordered my servants to call the third young master. However, the second lady came to the house." Girl, you must have never been to the dirty area of Tai Prison, so you don’t know what the three young masters suffered there..."
These words made Shen Nanbao feel slightly sad.
Not for others.
In her previous life, she had been to Taiwan Prison once because her grandfather was framed for being short of a pound of tea.
It was also at that time that she witnessed with her own eyes how unforgiving the prison was.
It was also that time that she went to beg Chen Fangyan.
It was also that time that they took a step forward, originally only in the name of husband and wife, but not in reality.
And when he said this now, it showed that she concealed it very well and he didn't notice anything strange about her.
Thoughts flowed through his mind like water, but in reality they were no more than a snap of his fingers. Shen Nanbao raised his head, not hiding his worry at all, "Please ask Mr. Chen more, what's wrong with Third Brother?"
As soon as he said these words, footsteps slipped from the corridor.
Shen Nanbao looked sideways, and saw a person walking in through the partition. He was probably walking very fast. His moon-white brocade clothes were a little unkempt, and he was breathing heavily, so when he called her, he was a little stagnant and choked. , "Five...sister."
"Third brother."
Shen Nanbao didn't have time to get up.
Shen Wenzhuo walked up to her in three steps and two steps, and knelt down with a plop, "Fifth sister, please speak for daddy, help me..."
The smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and even the words of greeting were on the tip of his tongue. Only a pair of clear eyes looked at him. Shen Nanbao pursed his lips and said, "Third brother, get up and talk first."
Shen Wenzhuo did not, "Fifth sister, if you promise me, you will promise me, daddy..."
There was a sneer from the side. Through the wind, the sound was light and thin, like a knife blade. Shen Wenzhuo suddenly stirred and cut his teeth, "Xiao Yichen!"
The person outside the door raised his eyebrows in surprise, "We haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Shen has become a lot more temperamental, and he dared to call me by my first name."
The words were said with a bit of a playful tone, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were matching with a smile. But when he saw Shen Nanbao, it was like hot oil touching the solid ice, and it condensed for an instant.
"What are you doing here?"
He said it in surprise and a bit carelessly, but if you look closely at his stubbled hair and unruly trousers, no one would know the haste with which he came and what he was thinking in his haste.
Chen Fangyan's eyes dimmed slightly, he stood up and bowed his head, "Commander Xiao, what's the reason for your visit to the humble residence today?"
Xiao Yichen's eyes fell on Shen Wenzhuo, "I heard that Mr. Chen brought Mr. Shen out. I came over to see if that's true."
Then his eyes flickered towards Shen Nanbao who was standing by the side.
Shen Nanbao squirmed at this time and said: "Like the eldest brother, I know that the third brother is here, so I thought of coming over and taking a look."
Xiao Yichen said 'Oh', "Since you saw it, let's leave. It's not your own home after all. If you stay too long, I'm afraid others will make fun of you."
Shen Wenzhuo sneered, "Is the dignified Commander Xiao still afraid of other people's gossip?"
Xiao Yichen was not annoyed when he contradicted him like this, and slowly nodded, "Young Master Shen is so discerning that he can see that I am the thorn and the hazel, and all the blue flies are stopping at me."
Before Shen Wenzhuo could slap him in the face, he narrowed his eyes and changed the subject, "Young Master Shen has been in Taiwan Prison for a long time in the past few days, and his brain has been washed away by the Taiwan Prison and turned into chaos. Did I say it was me? After all, you just called her fifth sister, and you also called her third brother, but you didn’t even care about it?"
He said, nodding to himself, "Actually, that's true. Have you ever had Zhou Gu? For example, let's not talk about whether she can do what you just asked for. Let's talk about how that old man Shen Shi treated her. Do you think you Did Zhou take care of her mood? Or is it because you only read the books of sages and you don’t know about the biases in your family."
Xiao Yichen originally said this slowly and slowly, but as he said it, he thought of Shen Nanbao, a person who had always been held in the palm of his hand, but was either beaten or scorned in the Shen Mansion.
It was the one in front of her, her third brother who was so called good to her, who didn't always let her suffer in a calm and peaceful manner!
This time, it was also Shen Shi’s birthday last time!
Xiao Yichen sighed fiercely, "You probably don't know. After all, so many things have happened. How often have you not been a coward?"
Shen Wenzhuo's face turned green and red. He wanted to rise up and retort, but as soon as those words of retort came to his throat, he remembered Shen Nanbao's face that was red and swollen again and again, and the corners of her mouth when he apologized to her for them. Her lonely smile and even Fengyue's tearful accusations were like needles piercing into her mind.
Let him unquestionably agree with Xiao Yichen's words and agree that he is a coward.
Not only did he watch her bullying with indifference, but he also did not dare to face her feelings. He even sent her to Jinling for this reason, where she was almost insulted.
that's all……
He actually had the nerve to be sincerely happy when he heard that she was not from the Shen family.
Shen Wenzhuo lowered his head deeply, and Fang Fang's hand that was still pinched with swollen veins relaxed, "Fifth sister...I didn't mean to do this, I just..."
He didn't know how to explain it, but Shen Nanbao understood him very well, "Third brother, I understand everything."
The soft sound, just like before, smoothed away the barbs in his heart like a spring breeze, but it made Shen Wenzhuo feel more and more ashamed. He wailed, "Fifth sister, you should blame me."
Shen Nanbao smiled, "Third brother, you are just doing your duty and following your own heart. Just like me, I also follow my heart and do my duty..."
Shen Wenzhuo heard the depth of her words and said hurriedly: "Fifth sister, I'm not asking you to defend father. I just hope you can speak up and let the officials investigate this matter thoroughly."
Xiao Yichen suddenly realized and said in a longer tone: "So, Mr. Shen, what do you mean by this is that I have wronged the sinner Shen Shi?"
The word 'sinner' made Shen Wenzhuo frown, "'Under severe punishment, there will be less true love; under severe punishment, there will be more unjust imprisonment.' Does Commander Xiao not even know this?"
Xiao Yichen listened to his words, but turned his eyes and glanced past Chen Fangyan's face, "Since Mr. Shen is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I also want to ask you a few questions. At that time, your father gave you advice When he was protecting the Kunwu family, was it me who held his head?"
Shen Wenzhuo didn't take it seriously, "There's no point in trying to incriminate yourself. You hated my father for not saving your father at that time. You must have planned it from the very beginning!"
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes, "His inaction and selfishness killed my father, why should I not hate him?"
Shen Wenzhuo seemed to have heard a big secret, and said with astonished eyes: "What happened back then, I don't deny that what my father did was unreasonable, but after all, he had his own reasons, and he didn't do it on purpose. , let alone the culprit who framed your father, how could you..."
Xiao Yichen agreed with his words in a daze and nodded, "It's a matter of love to help you, but it's a duty not to help you, right?"
Moaning like this, Xiao Yichen's lips that were still suppressed coldly turned into a smile, "In that case, what else do you ask her to do? Are you so desperate? I don't think so, you are not Is there another good friend, Mr. Xie? Isn’t that person in his family also implicated? If you go to him, you will definitely find out some of the secrets, right? Even if it’s not the founding Earl’s family, you can ask for help. I beg Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen is such a kind and considerate person. He can rescue you because he understands and appreciates your grievances! Even if it doesn’t work, there is still the Yamengu of Jingzhao Mansion for you to beat your grievances. Why did you choose her?"
Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes, and a blade-like light emerged from the narrow line, "Do you really think that she is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and the revenge of killing your father can be wiped out? Or do you think it is her duty to help you?"
Shen Wenzhuo blushed.
However, Shen Nanbao turned pale at his repeated words.
Chen Fangyan, who was sitting opposite, saw this and spoke openly, "Second girl, let's take a sip of red date tea to get rid of the cold."
This simple sentence made Xiao Yichen's face turn cold. His eyes hooked on the cup of tea like hooks, and then he laughed, "Master Chen has a pair of gentle ears. You can't escape such a trivial matter." ear."
Even Shen Nanbao could smell the jealousy in his yin and yang aura, let alone the old fox Chen Fangyan.
However, Chen Fangyan was not moved by this. Instead, he curved his lips very humbly, "Commander Xiao thinks it is a trivial matter, but I don't think so. To me, no matter how small the matter of the second girl is, it is still a big deal. It deserves my careful treatment and careful attention to every detail."
I thought that was the end of it.
Everyone is still maintaining the superficial peace through that layer of window paper.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fangyan paused and suddenly stood up. The skylight outside the window poured into his eyes, scattering into a galaxy. The stars surrounded Shen Nanbao, and when he smiled, thousands of brilliance emerged.
"Just as you thought, Commander Xiao, I, Chen, am happy for the second girl."
