Nan Xing and Nan Zhu walked toward the door one after another and quickly disappeared outside.
Shen Qiaochen looked at their backs with a flash in his eyes, but didn't say anything.
After Linglan, Nanxing, and Nanzhu left one after another, there were only four of them left in the house.
When she learned that Xiao Jue and Jiang Fengmian also planned to go with them, Shen Qiaoran felt very complicated.
It has to be said that the moment Xiao Jue spoke, Shen Qiaoran's first reaction was to let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, in his perception, Xiao Jue has always been omnipotent.
Moreover, it was thanks to Xiao Jue's presence tonight that he was able to find his sister in such a short period of time.
Otherwise, according to the current situation, if it is finally discovered that the person on the float is Xiao Qiao...
This result is terrifying just thinking about it.
Therefore, now that Xiao Jue is by his side, the next trip will definitely be much safer.
But on the other hand, my sister is a girl after all. Even if she dressed up in men's clothing today, it's hard to say she wouldn't be recognized.
Just as he just said to Jiang Fengmian, a woman's reputation is very important, and the rumors about Xiao Qiao in Beijing are not that good to begin with.
And Xiao Jue's face is unknown to everyone in Beijing.
In addition, at the palace banquet last night, Xiao Jue, for the first time, went to the extent of standing up for Shen Qiaochen and did not hesitate to confront the legitimate son of the middle palace.
Although only officials of third rank or above entered the palace yesterday, there are always no secrets in this capital.
However, in just one day, the story of Prince Xiao's heroic rescue of a beauty at the palace banquet had already spread and everyone knew about it.
Under such circumstances, if others see it again, the two rumored protagonists are traveling together at the lantern festival.
Then people coming and going, I'm afraid it will cause criticism again.
The two thoughts were pulling at each other, and Shen Qiaoran was also very entangled in his heart.
…
Unlike his brother, Shen Qiaochen looks much more natural.
Perhaps it was the anticipation for the lantern festival that trumped everything else, making her feel that this was not a big deal.
All in all, Shen Qiaochen, dressed in men's clothing, does look very calm.
She just turned a blind eye to the hesitation in Shen Qiaoran's eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Qiaoran could only comfort himself.
In all his life, Xiao Qiao has never gone out to see a lantern festival. Today’s opportunity is considered a rare one, so there’s no need to let it go.
Fortunately, Xiao Qiao rarely goes out, so not many people have seen her.
In addition, she was dressed in men's clothing today, and she looked like a delicate and handsome young man.
At first glance, people who are not familiar with it would never think that this is the frail and sickly fourth girl in the legend of the Shen family...
So, after Shen Qiaoran finished building himself up in his mind, everyone walked towards the door together.
"Xiao Qiao, there are many people on the street. You must follow me closely later and don't wander around."
Shen Qiaoran kept walking, and when he walked to Shen Qiaochen, he whispered.
"You must remember to follow me closely. If something happens to you again, I really can't explain it to my family..."
Xiao Jue and Jiang Fengmian walked in front. Both of them had excellent ears, so they naturally heard clearly the conversation between the Shen brothers and sisters behind them.
To be precise, most of the time, it was Shen Qiaoran's unilateral instructions. Shen Qiaochen rarely said anything, but nodded from time to time to deal with it.
"These two brothers and sisters seem to have a very good relationship."
Jiang Fengmian sighed casually, feeling a little envious in his heart.
You must know that there are many brothers and sisters in his family. Although some are concubines, there are also several sisters from the same mother.
But look at the relationship between the Shen brothers and sisters, and then think about the younger sister in my own family.
They are both born from the same mother. Is it possible that there is such a big difference just because they are not twins?
But in the Shen family, only Shen Qiao Ran and Shen Qiao Chen are twins.
But it is said that their eldest son, Shen Qiao'an, and their second son, Shen Qiaoqi, have a very good relationship with Shen Qiaochen...
Jiang Fengmian just said it casually, but in Xiao Jue's ears, there was some inexplicable unpleasantness.
He suppressed the displeasure in his heart, looked back at the two Shen brothers and sisters who were very close to each other, and gradually stopped.
Seeing the two people, one black and one white, coming side by side, Xiao Jue frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.
Everyone looked up and saw a familiar petite figure appearing at the end of the second floor.
"Fourth girl, your snack."
In the blink of an eye, Linglan came to everyone, glanced around, and then went straight to Shen Qiaochen and handed over the things in her hands.
Only then did the four of them notice that Suzuran was holding a huge food box.
Suzuran's slender arms formed a sharp contrast, and one couldn't help but wonder why such a petite girl looked so relaxed while carrying such a heavy thing.
Before they could reach the door of the room, they heard Shen Qiaochen's voice faintly behind them.
"Zui Jiangyue is also a place open for business. I believe that the dignified young prince Xiao will not be short of this little snack money."
The appearance of this group of people was far beyond the standard line, which attracted the attention of people on the street.
As if he remembered something before leaving, Xiao Jue turned around and looked at Shen Qiaochen, or to be precise, at her right hand.
"I'll have someone send me a bottle of muscle-building ointment later. Remember to use it."
Shen Qiaochen's expression remained unchanged, "Thank you for your concern, young prince. It's just that I have been sick all year round, and I also know a few doctors with good medical skills in my family. With their care, I will be fine soon."
Shen Qiaoran didn't know the extent of Shen Qiaochen's injuries, but from what Xiao Jue said, it seemed that he wanted to send someone to Shen's mansion.
Today, Xiao Jue saved Xiao Qiao again, which made Shen Qiaoran very grateful.
But as a brother, he feels that all the men in the world are not worthy of his sister.
So Shen Qiaoran took a step forward and protected Shen Qiaochen behind him. He cupped his fists and said to Xiao Jue:
"Brother Xiao has saved Xiao Qiao's life. Shen Qiaoran is here to thank you on behalf of the Shen family. However, my sister-in-law's injury will be taken care of by her family, and she will be safe. There is no need to trouble you, Prince Xiao."
These words were high-sounding, but what Shen Qiaoran was thinking about at the moment was that as the saying goes, men and women are not close to each other, and his sister is young and has always been raised in a boudoir.
A girl with a simple heart like her is the easiest to trust others.
Especially when you meet a man like Xiao Jue who is "good" in all aspects, he is the easiest to be deceived.
Moreover, Xiao Jue repeatedly made his presence felt in front of Shen Qiaochen. Fortunately, Xiao Qiao was still young and had not yet figured it out, otherwise he would not be able to withstand Xiao Jue's teasing.
Everyone knows that young Prince Xiao is a romantic young man, and there are countless girls in the capital who admire him, but who has seen him showing favor to any one of them?
