Everything in this world is destined to happen.
People who are destined to meet will eventually meet.
The reason for all stories is curiosity.
…
The night outside the window is getting darker, and the pink and white apricot flower petals are floating in the wind, and one by one they fly into the wide open window.
Everyone is on the second floor. Looking out from here, the cheers of the people downstairs can be clearly heard.
"There seem to be more and more people."
Shen Qiaoran complained casually.
Just now, it was because of the large crowd that Xiao Qiao was taken away by the left prime minister's people.
Seeing the worry in his brother's eyes, Shen Qiaochen said obediently:
"What the third brother said is that there are indeed too many people outside, and we have been out for a long time, otherwise we should go back to the house."
Although she was still full of longing for the lantern festival in her heart, Shen Qiaochen also knew that her disappearance tonight might have cast a certain shadow on Shen Qiaoran.
Therefore, she could only suppress her curiosity and suggested going back to Shen Mansion.
After hearing Shen Qiaochen's words, Shen Qiaoran hesitated.
Of course he knew why Shen Qiaochen said that. His sister was so caring and sensible, which made him feel a little distressed.
But Xiao Qiao has never seen a lantern festival since she was a child. She even asked herself to buy men's clothes for tonight's lantern festival.
Moreover... just now Xiao Jue has repeatedly promised that what happened tonight will never happen again...
For a moment, two thoughts were tugging in Shen Qiaoran's mind, making him very entangled.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
Several people in the room looked at each other, not knowing who would knock on the door at this time.
Nan Zhu turned to look at Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue paused, then tilted her head and motioned for him to open the door.
But Xiao Jue himself stood up slowly and stood in front of Shen Qiaochen intentionally or unintentionally.
His move seemed unintentional, but it was noticed by Jiang Fengmian and Shen Qiaochen who was blocked.
Jiang Fengmian shook his head and covered most of his face with a fan. On the other side, he quietly smiled at Xiao Jue with a playful look on his face.
But she only received a faint glance from Xiao Jue. Jiang Fengmian didn't care and still looked at him with interest.
Shen Qiaochen, who was blocked by Xiao Jue, raised his eyes and looked at the back of the young man not far away.
Different from his usual lazy appearance, he is a martial arts practitioner after all, and his thin waist still looks as straight as a loose body.
Shen Qiaochen pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, but a complicated feeling flashed in her heart.
…
Nan Zhu walked quietly to the door and listened alertly, but could only hear a commotion outside the house.
He frowned, thought for a moment, then reached out and opened the door...
When he saw the figure outside the house, he was stunned for a moment, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. His handsome face returned to his usual cynical smile, and then he made a secret gesture with the hand behind his back.
"It's you, little girl."
Xiao Jue and Jiang Fengmian in the room also relaxed after receiving the "signal" from Nanzhu.
Shen Qiaochen naturally couldn't understand the information conveyed between them, but she heard Nan Zhu's words.
After thinking about it, there should be no one else who can find this place and is called "little girl" by Nan Zhu.
Just when Shen Qiao wanted to prove her conjecture, a clear female voice came from the door the next second:
"Is the fourth girl here?"
Shen Qiao looked around and immediately recognized the slender figure standing at the door. It was the little girl Suzulan.
At this time, Nanzhu had already let Linglan into the room, and at the same time closed the door thoughtfully.
"Lily of the Suzu, I'm here."
Seeing this, Shen Qiaochen stood up and walked out from behind Xiao Jue, smiling lightly.
Hearing her voice, the little girl Linglan turned her head and saw that it was indeed the fourth girl of the Shen family.
So she responded with a chuckle, and was about to go up to him, but unexpectedly, a "human wall" suddenly fell from the sky and blocked her.
When Lily of the Valley goes to the left, the person goes to the left. When Lily of the Valley goes to the right, the person also goes to the right.
This person clearly did it on purpose...
The little girl Linglan also became a little irritable. She clenched her fists hard, raised her head and glared at the person who blocked her:
"Why are you blocking the door? I'm not looking for you."
The human wall, that is, Nan Zhu, raised his handsome eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said lazily:
"Little girl, there are only a few young masters in this room, and there are no fourth girls."
This sounds true. Several people in the private room are all dressed in men's clothing, including Shen Qiaochen, who is disguised as a man. Now he is at an age where it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
At first glance, if you didn't know her identity, you would think that she was an exquisite-looking young master.
What's more, there is a similar-looking Shen Qiaoran standing next to her. Outsiders would only think that these are a pair of outstanding-looking brothers, and would not expect that one of them is actually a real daughter's family.
On the other hand, Nan Zhu's words also reminded Ling Lan that although she was in the house when she said these words, it was inevitable that there would be ears across the wall.
Most people may not react much to the word "Four Girls", but there were not many people who saw them tonight. If anyone is interested, the "Four Girls" related to the third son of the Shen family, besides Shen Qiaochen, are also There was no one else around.
Tonight, they put an end to Shen Qiaochen's kidnapping in a timely manner.
But it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net. If it is found out in public one day in the future, Suzulan's "four girls" may become the opponent's handle.
This is definitely not a good thing for Shen Qiaochen.
Linglan is Ji Qingyuan's daughter, and she grew up here in Zuijiangyue.
Naturally, she is a smart and perceptive girl, and it is not that she cannot understand the meaning of Nan Zhu's words.
As soon as she said those words, she realized something was wrong.
Although Nan Zhu had closed the door behind her, in the final analysis, this was indeed her omission.
But Nanzhu's careless tone made Linglan a little unhappy.
So she frowned slightly, glared at Nan Zhu with her big watery eyes, and then quickly passed by him, as if she was disgusted with him as if he was some kind of disciple.
When Nan Zhu saw this, he was stunned for a moment. As the most capable subordinate around Xiao Jue, others would treat him with courtesy when they saw him.
And this little girl in front of me... is obviously the daughter of a restaurant owner, but she dares to show such a "disgusting" look to herself...
Nan Zhu's peach blossom eyes flashed with light, seeming to be very interesting.
He raised his eyebrows and turned around to follow him unhurriedly.
…
When Nan Zhu approached, Ling Lan had already come to Shen Qiao Chen's side and was standing with her by the window talking about something unknown. It looked like they were very familiar with each other.
Seeing the two girls chatting lively in low voices, Shen Qiaoran on the side was also very surprised.
It seemed that he didn't know when his sister met a girl with whom he could talk happily.
Jiang Fengmian and Nan Zhu saw Shen Qiaoran's expression and felt very surprised.
"Unexpectedly, the fourth girl is so familiar with Zui Jiangyue's little shopkeeper. I guess Brother Shen can often eat Zui Jiangyue's Zuixian duck."
