"Do you want to go back?"
Shen Yuhe spoke with a smile, as if he was fighting against injustice in a Jianghu storybook.
Such a question made Song Jinyin slightly stunned, as if if she nodded, the person in front of her would be able to protect her and reject Xuan Er's words for her.
The people next to him didn't speak, and their eyes fell on Song Jinyin, as if waiting for her answer.
Only Xuan Er frowned, and when he saw that the hand only pulled once and then let go, he felt relieved.
"I just heard you say that you are not on duty today. If you don't want to go back, there is no reason to be forced by others."
Although Shen Yuhe was talking to her, his eyes fell on Xuan Er, and the smile on his lips turned cold.
But although Song Jinyin felt the kindness, she still shook her head at Shen Yuhe.
She is not strong enough to disobey Pei Yanzhou in front of others.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Song Jinyin was blessed, "Brother Xuan doesn't come often to call for people on weekdays. Today he specifically came to see me. It must be that he has some impromptu errands in Zhuya Courtyard. I will bring a thank you gift when I get free time in the future. Go to Bi Chun Tang to visit the young master."
"I was too abrupt."
Seeing her like this, Shen Yuhe seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and chuckled, "Since there is no way to help you deal with the aftermath, it is a bit funny to fight against the injustice just now."
"Master Shen..."
Song Jinyin's eyebrows moved slightly, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she became grateful.
The person in front of me understands everything.
She was initially at a loss because of Xuan Er's appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable under Pei Yanzhou's domineering attitude, but now it seemed that she had nothing to feel uncomfortable about.
She has always been the passive one, and she would not bow her head if she could.
"Two young masters, three young ladies, and that servant will go back to the house first."
Looking back at Pei Musheng, he wanted to ask the third girl if she was going back home, but when he saw that she had been out happily for only an hour, he didn't say anything to disappoint her.
There was a carriage parked at the noisy street, and Song Jinyin walked a little slowly.
A sour feeling rose up at the tip of her nose, but within a moment, she suppressed it again.
When they were about to get on the carriage, Pei Musheng followed from behind. Perhaps she lost her mind after all the trouble, and she also had the idea of returning home.
But when she saw that Song Jinyin's lively face was obviously gone, she still sighed inwardly.
If she said she didn't care, her elder brother's actions didn't seem like he didn't care, but if he said he did...
Even people who had only met her a few times were aware of Song Jinyin's desire, but her eldest brother was killing him bit by bit.
Sensing a somewhat heavy atmosphere in the carriage, Pei Musheng put the things he had just picked out on the small case and plucked them.
"This jade hairpin is no longer so fresh when you take it out, you see."
Song Jinyin looked over and nodded along.
The third girl's turmoil just now scared the steward half to death, but in the end she was the one who said she disliked her first, and in the end she didn't do anything to the steward, and she only made him pay for his sins for half an hour.
Looking at the appearance of the third girl now, the anger should have completely dissipated.
"Just now, the third girl was only focused on scaring the steward, and didn't even look at these objects carefully."
"I just bought it for fun."
Pei Mu Sheng picked up the hairpin and turned it around, "Actually speaking, I like to hear that people in the Golden Silk Building look down on guests. I am not the one who is unable to continue the business."
The carriage moved slowly. Seeing that Song Jinyin was holding on to a smile and was no longer as comfortable as when she left the house, Pei Musheng still put down the things in his hands and looked at her seriously.
The eldest brother has been a little subtle towards Sanfang recently, and he seems to be more friendly to her than before. Pei Musheng became more and more convinced that it was indeed a wise move to step into the eldest brother's house to visit Song Jinyin that time.
Especially coming into contact with Song Jinyin.
She didn't feel that this maid was as powerful and scheming as others were talking about. Instead, she was like a refreshing summer breeze, which could occasionally soothe the dryness in people's hearts.
Pei Musheng coughed lightly. In fact, she didn't want Song Jinyin to lose this favor.
Whether it's because of their relationship or because of Song Jinyin's life experience, which is actually a poor person.
"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to this matter."
Pei Musheng looked at her, "I can still think of ways to take you out of the house in the future. My eldest brother may be worried about you today. And don't you think that the fact that he wants to take you back to Zhuyayuan means that he cares about you?"
Song Jinyin's lips parted slightly. She was concerned when she heard this voice, but suddenly she didn't want to speak, so she just smiled.
Pei Yanzhou could indeed find countless reasons for his imprisonment, but he didn't care about it.
His orders were always paranoid and domineering, placing her in the lowest position, and then looking down at her, occasionally with whims of pity, like teasing a captive bird.
This was never a concern, Song Jinyin had always been self-aware.
"My servant knows that even if the prince doesn't say anything, he should return home early today."
Her voice was dry, her eyes lowered and she nodded obediently.
The difference between her and Pei Yanzhou is probably that one wants to drag people into sinking, while the other has thought about dragging him out of the abyss.
But now she clearly understands that she does not have the ability, and such noble things can probably only be done by others.
...
The carriage finally returned to the Pei Mansion, and the second wife, Qi Shi, happened to be detained.
The second master personally escorted the person and took him to the village in the suburbs.
When he saw Pei Musheng, the second master's face looked a little uncomfortable, but he had to pretend to be calm when facing the junior.
"Mu Sheng is back."
"Second uncle."
Pei Musheng saluted and tried his best not to look at Qi's messy bun.
"Your second aunt will go to Zhuangzi to live for a few months to pray for your grandmother. I would like to discuss the rest of the matter with your father. After you return to the hospital, send someone to talk to your father. I will wait for you later. After seeing him off, go look for him in the courtyard."
After the second master finished speaking, he looked at Song Jinyin next to him with a slight look in his eyes.
Song Jinyin didn't want to be targeted again, so she stepped back first and returned to Zhuya Courtyard.
The busy days these days were somewhat overwhelming for her, but when the third girl came out of the house today, she couldn't help but nod.
After all, I still have some hope.
Walking all the way to the door of the house, Song Jinyin opened the door and was thinking about where to look for jasper. Please help her apply the medicine, when she was suddenly pulled over.
His back pressed against the wooden door.
The pain she imagined did not come, and the warm palms blocked her lower back, which had not yet fully healed.
The scream was swallowed back, and the cold bamboo fragrance on the tip of his nose seemed to be stronger than usual.
"Why is the prince in the house?"
"What, you don't want to see me?"
The man looked down at her, covering her petite body.
The person in front of her had not yet changed her clothes, and when she raised her head, the girl felt a little more taboo, making her throat tighten.
"I asked you to go back home just now, but you didn't want to?"
"I don't dare, slave."
"It's because I don't dare, not because I don't want to."
Pei Yanzhou's eyes darkened, and he thought of the news he had just heard while sneering, and said coldly: "One person wearing a mask is not enough, but there is another Shen Yuhe? Speaking of which, he is indeed destined to be with you. It is rare for you to meet someone like this." I actually ran into him when I went to the house, but..."
After a pause, Pei Yanzhou held her chin with his other hand, and felt a slight chill when he rubbed it with his fingertips.
"What is his identity? He stands up for you?"
"Why does the prince need to anger others?"
Although Song Jinyin didn't know why this person who shouldn't have returned home appeared in her room, she understood that Pei Yanzhou was suppressing his anger at this moment.
She couldn't speak even one word for Shen Yuhe.
"I'm not familiar with Doctor Shen. I just rarely leave the house and can't bear the excitement outside."
"Then why is he by your side, huh?"
The strength of the fingertips deepened.
Pei Yanzhou looked at her opening and closing lips, remembering the anger he had felt after hearing the news just now, and there were surging emotions in his eyes, wrapped in lust.
He tried to suppress it, but he was unconsciously bewitched by the person in front of him.
"... This slave really just happened to meet Doctor Shen on the long street. The third girl is also there. If this slave is... Well!"
Pei Yanzhou didn't want to hear any more. When he saw the ends of her eyes flushed with eagerness, he leaned down and directly blocked her lips.
