"Master, it's almost time, do you want to tell me to go down and prepare lunch later?" Shen Li asked with a bow.

"No, let's go back." Shen Mingshu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said with some fatigue, she didn't see Luo Xin in the morning, so she was always worried.

"Then I'll tell them to prepare the carriage." Shen Li responded and went out to make arrangements.

Not long after, the carriage was ready, Shen Mingshu and Qiu got into the carriage, Shen Li drove the carriage back by himself.

Qiu Nong poured a cup of tea for Shen Mingshu, and said softly, "Master, let's have a cup of tea first."

Shen Mingshu picked up the teacup and took a sip, his brows were slightly frowned, there was no wave in his dark eyes, but the corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line, noticing that Qiu Nong was looking at her carefully, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Why?" ? Have something to say?"

Qiu Nong stopped talking, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said, "Your maidservant shouldn't have interrupted this matter, but after hearing what Lan Yin said yesterday, I couldn't help but want to say something more."

"What did Lan Yin say?" Shen Mingshu asked.

Qiu Nong glanced at her, but Shen Mingshu didn't look at her. Instead, she lowered her eyes and put her eyes on the teacup in front of her. She collected herself and said, "I heard from Lan Yin that Madam was very sad yesterday and couldn't stop crying. He just didn't make a sound, looking very pitiful, Lan Yin asked me to ask the master, can the master not trust the madam?"

The previous words made Shen Mingshu's heart feel sore and weak. When she heard the last sentence, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked over, her brows were tightly frowned. Covering up his gaffe, he said, "Of course not."

She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, rather than saying she can't trust Luo Xin, it's better to say that she can't trust herself. She is not as beautiful as Qingyue, nor is she as gentle as Rong Min. The only thing she can do is to do business.

From a young age, she knew that she was not very attractive. Qingyue Qingjia could easily be loved by others, but few people were willing to get close to her. As she got older and took care of the family affairs, she gradually became like this The little daughter-like emotions were forgotten in her mind, but occasionally, she would suddenly pop up and stab her.

Hearing what Shen Mingshu said, Qiu Nong still maintained his kneeling posture, lowered his eyes and said: "Master, Lan Yin said something to the servant girl last night, and the servant girl wanted to tell you that Madam's life experience is pitiful, and she was brought to Yangzhou by the master. There are no other relatives or friends, and the master has abandoned her, so I'm afraid she will think too much."

"I..." Shen Mingshu wanted to say that she hadn't given up on Luo Xin, but what she did yesterday was different from this.

Qiu Nong and Lan Yin have been serving Shen Mingshu since they were young, and Luo Xin has always been very kind to them servants. Now seeing the two of them like this, she is very worried, so she couldn't help but say a few more words, now looking at Shen Mingshu This appearance is clearly not the appearance of being so ruthless.

"Master, it is impossible for the couple to get along without quarreling, but if they break up after a fight, it would be biased. Did the master listen to Madam's explanation?"

Qiu Nong asked eagerly.

Shen Mingshu lowered his eyes and didn't answer, but Qiu Nong knew that she had listened, so he breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed and said: "If you think Qiu Nong talks too much, please punish me, master."

"Get up." Shen Mingshu sighed softly, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, the scenery on the street gradually became familiar, and he was almost at the East Xuan Tower.

"Stop in front of the Qin's wine shop." Shen Mingshu ordered, she wanted to go to the Qin's to take the puppy back first, and only hoped that Luo Xin would feel better.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Qin's house, Shen Mingshu asked Shen Li to put the car back in Xuandong Building first, and brought Qiu into Qin's house. All the servants of Qin's house recognized her, and the butler led them to find Qin Jiu.

The butler said with a smile: "Miss drank some wine yesterday and slept late, I'm afraid I have to let Miss Shen wait a while."

Shen Mingshu was stunned. Qin Jiu had been brewing wine since elementary school, and it was rare to hear that she was so drunk. She nodded and said, "If she hasn't woken up yet, I'll come back next time."

Just as she was speaking, the butler led her to Qin Jiu's courtyard. From afar, she saw that the door of the master bedroom was still closed. Just as Shen Mingshu was about to speak, the door was opened with a bang, and a man ran away in disheveled clothes. come out.

Shen Mingshu's heart skipped a beat. If she read correctly, the person who ran out of Qin Jiu's room seemed to be Yue Yunlou. The housekeeper standing beside her was startled, and Qiu Nong's eyes widened.

Yue Yunlou tied his clothes in a hurry, and ran towards the gate of the courtyard in a hurry. When he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Mingshu, who also paused, and his face turned paler.

Shen Mingshu was stunned at first, but when he realized it, he couldn't help becoming angry. Yue Yunlou had talked to Luo Xin like that before, but he didn't expect to do such a thing in a blink of an eye. He is really a beast in clothes.

Shen Mingshu couldn't help but turn cold, and said to Yue Yunlou: "Master Yue is trying to escape?"

Yue Yunlou smiled wryly, and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, things are not what you think."

"What's that like?" Shen Mingshu refused to budge, he couldn't just let him go.

The housekeeper of the Qin family finally came to his senses, this man clearly wanted to run away after eating, and immediately helped Shen Mingshu block the hospital door, scolding: "Don't try to run away, you kid, stay here and explain clearly."

Seeing them like this, Yue Yunlou knew that he might not be able to leave today, and just as he was about to say something, another person came out of the room behind him.

The clothes Qin Jiu was wearing were also crumpled, and looked like they were from yesterday. He ran out of the room in a hurry, and was taken aback when he saw the situation at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing her coming out, Yue Yunlou simply stopped running and stood where he was, looking rather miserable.

Seeing Qin Jiu approaching, the housekeeper widened his eyes and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, Uncle Chen will help you get justice."

With some embarrassment on his face, Qin Jiu said to the butler, "Uncle Chen, I misunderstood my misunderstanding, it's really nothing, you can go down and do other things first."

Uncle Chen obviously didn't believe it, but Qin Jiu insisted again and again, so he had to leave first, and before leaving, he gave Yue Yunlou a hard look.

Sending Uncle Chen away, Qin Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Mingshu, and said, "I'm laughing." Then he turned to Yue Yunlou, lowered his eyes, smiled, and said, "Why are you running, I won't rely on you , I take care of what I do myself.”

Thinking of yesterday's chaos, Yue Yunlou also felt a pain in his head. When he looked at Qin Jiu with a serious expression, Taohua's eyes no longer smiled, and he was a little strange for a while, shaking his head and said: "Miss Qin Jiu, what you did this time It's really ridiculous."

Rao Qin Jiu thought he was thick-skinned, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, and lowered his eyes and said: "Well, Mr. Yue, go back."

Yue Yunlou looked away from her, nodded to Shen Mingshu, and walked out of the yard quickly.

Seeing him leaving, Qin Jiu gave Shen Mingshu a big grin, and said calmly, "Mingshu, what do you want me to do?"

"I'll pick up the puppy back." Shen Mingshu frowned, and said, "Go back first, why did you make it like this?"

Qin Jiu smiled, without explaining, and asked someone to bring the snow-white puppy, and said, "Luo Xin likes this one, I will save it to name her."

She handed it over to Shen Mingshu, and carefully instructed her some things to pay attention to, with a little tiredness on her face.

Shen Mingshu didn't want to stay any longer, carrying a basket with puppies, Qin Jiu and Yue Yunlou were also in a mess, so they could only go towards Xuandonglou with a lot of worries.

Xuandong Building was at its busiest time for business. As soon as Shen Mingshu entered, Shen Li greeted her, and whispered in her ear: "Master, Madam is upstairs, and the back kitchen has prepared lunch."

"Send it up." Shen Mingshu ordered in a light tone, suppressing the eagerness in his heart, and stepped on the stairs steadily.

Luo Xin was still sitting in her usual position, looking sideways at the distant roof ridges outside the window, looking over from the door, her profile showed no emotion, showing a sense of desolation.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Luo Xin turned her head and saw that it was Shen Mingshu, showing a surprised expression. After a while, she looked away in fear, lowered her head slightly, bit her lips, and called out softly, "Sister."

Shen Mingshu's heart tightened, and he responded, walked over with the basket in hand, and said, "I went to Qin Jiu's to bring that puppy back."

Only then did Luo Xin raise her eyes to look at her, and looked away for a moment, took the basket from her hand, slightly pursed the corners of her lips, and said softly, "Thank you, sister."

In the past, Luo Xin always smiled at her. When she smiled, Shen Mingshu felt that the corners of her lips relaxed and could not hold back the upward curve, but this time Luo Xin's smile was like a sword stabbing her chest, reminding her to destroy her. something precious.

Shen Mingshu tried his best to ignore the feeling of being overwhelmed and asked, "Have you thought about what to name the puppy?"

Luo Xin looked down at the little pup in the basket, her lips curled up, she subconsciously looked at Shen Mingshu inquiringly, and said, "Let's call it Kidney Bean Cake."

The moment she met Shen Mingshu's gaze, the corners of Luo Xin's lips twitched slightly, only then did she realize that things are different now, her sister may just ask politely, she shouldn't bother her sister too complacently, she can only ask again Hastily looked away.

"It's a good name." Shen Mingshu's heart sank, and he looked at Luo Xin with deep eyes, not knowing what to say to Luo Xin for a moment.

The back kitchen brought up the prepared lunch, and Lan Yin and Qiu Nong put stacks of dishes on the table, eating without speaking, no one spoke at the table, only the small sound of chopsticks hitting the wall of the bowl was heard, The two people at the table had different thoughts and neither had much appetite.
