After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 292 292 Exploration?cheat?
Biyu obviously didn't expect this to happen. She was worried about hurting the ferret, and it was a neat ball in her arms, so she didn't use much effort.

Unexpectedly, it jumped out suddenly, and even threw out the dried meat that was so precious just now, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Biyu was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before she clapped her hands suddenly: "Oh! How did it escape! The eldest son knows what to do!"

It would be fine if she didn't care about it and didn't hug it, at most she would be punished, but now the ferret ran away from her hands.

Biyu shuddered into a ball and was about to chase after it, but the little thing disappeared in a blink of an eye, so where to look for it.

She could only turn her head to look at Shen Qingci.

After all, it was Shen Qingci's approach that surprised the ferret just now.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Qingci was a distinguished guest and was short-handed, she would have lowered her face right now to separate the relationship.

"Miss Zhou...you can't blame me for this..."

Shen Qingci looked down at the fingertips that hadn't touched the ferret, and felt even more confused.

But facing Shang Biyu's frightened eyes, Shen Qingci frowned and said: "What will happen if your eldest son finds out?"

Biyu shook her head and said anxiously: "Your servant only knows that the last time a servant lost a ferret in Yiyuan, he was beaten with [-] boards and almost lost half his life, if your servant... ..."

Biyu was about to cry.

Seeing this, Shen Qingci raised his toes, kicked the piece of dried meat that the ferret had just landed on the ground into the nearby grass, and said calmly, "I didn't see anything just now, did you see anything?" ?”

Biyu was stunned for a moment before realizing what Shen Qingci meant.

There is no one else in the yard except them at the moment.

After all, the ferret is a beast, can he open his mouth to complain to Sun Zhijing?
Thinking about it this way, Biyu shook her head again and again and said, "Your maidservant didn't see anything either."

"The scenery in Nanyuan is the best. The servant girl will accompany Mrs. Zhou for a walk."

Shen Qingci responded with a smile: "Okay."

The two talked one after the other, just like before, as if the ferret was startled away never happened.

Although it was like this on the surface, Shen Qingci was thinking in his heart that if he met that ferret later, he still had to try again.

Because of her special physique, Gu Qiuli's ferret avoided her from a distance. Although it didn't react as much as this one, she didn't have the opportunity to touch Gu Qiu with her hands like today. away ferret.

Whether it was his or not, the ferret's reaction was truly extraordinary.

Shen Qingci had something in his heart, was led by Biyu, and arrived at Nanyuan unknowingly.

There is an artificial lake here, and a covered bridge connects the lake pavilion in the middle.

Although spring has already opened, the weather is still cold and tight. Bitter wind blows across the lake, and the dead branches of the lotus all over the lake become more and more bleak in the cold wind.

"ah!"

Shen Qingci just raised his eyes to look, and before he could clearly see the person sitting in the pavilion with his back to them, he heard Biyu's exclamation.

Biyu lowered her voice and said nervously, "It's the eldest son! That's too bad!"

She tugged at Shen Qingci's sleeve, her body was already shaking.

After all, only when she did "bad things" on her front foot, did she meet the righteous master on her back foot, telling her not to feel guilty.

Shen Qingci patted her hand, comforted her with his eyes and said, "It's okay."

She didn't know why she met Sun Zhijing here, supposedly he was supposed to accompany Sheng Tingye in the study?

Even if she is curious about this person's identity, according to the rules, it is inconvenient for her to meet him in private.

Shen Qingci was about to ask Shang Biyu to leave, but Sun Zhijing who was sitting facing the lake with his back to them suddenly turned around.

There was alienation and indifference on his handsome face, and the moment he met Shen Qingci's eyes, he smiled faintly.

Shen Qingci nodded slightly at him, and he was about to leave with Biyu after seeing the ceremony.

But the next moment, when she glimpsed something on Sun Zhijing's knee out of the corner of her eye, her heart skipped a beat.

He was dressed in a plain white gown, covered with a snow-colored fox fur, so at first glance, Shen Qingci didn't notice the ferret curled up on his lap.

Shen Qingci saw it, and Biyu, the maid beside her, obviously saw it too.

However, unlike Shen Qingci's guilty conscience, Biyu was worried that the ferret would be frightened and hid, and Sun Zhijing would blame it if people couldn't find it. Now that the ferret is lying on Sun Zhijing's lap, it is gone Biyu, who was worried at this level, was obviously relieved.

The two people with different moods were about to turn around and leave, but they heard a cold male voice behind them.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Qingci's steps stopped.

She followed the sound and turned her head, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Sun Zhijing walking over with her ferret in his arms.

She was afraid that the ferret would remember the scene of being frightened by her just now, or if she was frightened again now, if Sun Zhijing saw something strange, it would cause him to get angry.

He was nervous in his heart, but Shen Qingci's face was calm.

She calmly greeted Sun Zhijing who was approaching, "Master Sun."

Sun Zhijing smiled faintly, "Mrs. Lin."

Seeing that he had already crossed half of the covered bridge, and he was about to reach him in a blink of an eye, and the ferret nestled its head in his arms, and he didn't know if it saw Shen Qingci or not.

"Brother Lin and I had a very happy conversation before, and for a while there was a feeling of resentment for seeing each other late. Unfortunately, Brother Lin was ill. I had to send someone to take him back to rest before leaving. Didn't know Mrs. Lin was here too."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci narrowed his eyes and said: "I was also worried about my husband's health, and I was afraid of disturbing Mr. Sun, so I thought of going out for a while, and waited for my husband to go back together. I didn't think about it, but I missed it."

"Husband can't live without people, so I'll go back now."

As she said that, she was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Sun Zhijing again.

"Mrs. Lin."

"I don't think Brother Lin is sick."

Sun Zhijing's eyes were full of confusion and worry, as if he was really worried about Sheng Tingye.

But Shen Qingci had clearly discussed it with Sheng Tingye before, using the same rhetoric she used to deal with Yu Shi and Sun Zhiyue.

It is impossible for Sheng Tingye not to mention Sun Zhijing.

But this man deliberately asked her this question.

Is it a temptation, or is there another purpose, or is there nothing to talk about?
Shen Qingci didn't have time to think about it, she narrowed her eyes, with a look of doubt on her face: "It's true that my husband is not sick, but suffered some injuries from encountering bad people before."

Sun Zhijing suddenly said, "So that's the case, but I do know a genius doctor who not only heals traumatic injuries, but also cures many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and heals his body back to life."

Speaking of this, he paused, suddenly lowered his voice a little, and said meaningfully: "He lived in the Nether Valley before, and even has a lot of research on some Gu insects and voodoo."

If it was said that what he said before could be regarded as casual greetings, Shen Qingci could not take it to heart, but the last sentence made her have to care.

Leaving aside the truth and falsehood in Sun Zhijing's words, why did he remind her of this sentence?
Shen Qingci subconsciously glanced at the ferret that was still nestled in his arms.

Could it be that he has seen that Sheng Tingye has been infected by a love gu?
Not knowing the depth of this person, Shen Qingci didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit, she just smiled and followed his words: "If there is such a network, it is naturally excellent, and I will trouble Mr. Sun."

Sun Zhijing also laughed.

He raised his hand and patted the ferret lying obediently on his wrist, and looked at Shen Qingci with a smile: "I do have some friendship with that genius doctor, but it's just a matter of effort, Mrs. Lin doesn't have to worry about it."

Having said that, his cold eyes glanced at Biyu who was obediently standing behind Shen Qingci.

With just one glance, she fell back on Shen Qingci, and said with a smile: "My servant girl is so ignorant that I almost startled Mrs. Lin by calling a ferret."

His voice was gentle, with a smile on his face, and his tone was not at all reproachful, but at this moment, he chose to say such words, which almost made the blood flow backwards all over his body.

Especially Biyu whose name he named, at that moment, her face was as pale as paper.

Her feet softened, and she knelt down with a plop, not even daring to beg for mercy.

Shen Qingci was also surprised in her heart, she had obviously observed the surroundings at that time, and there was no one else, so she decided to hide this matter from Biyu.

How does this person know?

Before she could think about it, Sun Zhijing looked at her and said with a smile: "It's also my fault that I'm too mild-tempered, that's why the people below have neglected Mrs. Lin."

"I hope Mrs. Lin doesn't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he glanced at the young man waiting beside him.

Immediately, someone stepped forward to drag Biyu down.

This is not punishing Biyu, this is clearly for Shen Qingci to show as an example!
Now that I think about it, being surprised by a ferret is not a small matter, and it is a bit too much to drag the maids of the Sun Mansion to hide it together and pretend that nothing happened.

At that time, Shen Qingci was also afraid that things would cause trouble, and his special physique would be discovered by others.

Thinking about it now, why was she so hot-headed at that time!
While she was feeling annoyed, her heart sank suddenly.

wrong!

At that time, there should be no one else around them.

She may not be clear about it, but Shen Qingci can be sure of this.

With the improvement of her kung fu, the six senses have reached a new level.

Even if it is Qing Yun who is a top tracker and concealer, she can still sense his existence now.

Unless the other party can have attainments like tassels.

But Liusu is not only because of his talent that is different from ordinary people, but also because he has practiced the secret arts of the Dongyi tribe.

If these conditions are met, people who can achieve the level of tassels, I am afraid that they may not be able to find another person in the whole world.

Therefore, it is very likely that Sun Zhijing defrauded them!
Seeing that the ferret was startled, he turned his head to see Shen Qingci and Biyu, and he had a second guess, so he said that on purpose.

Biyu was timid and couldn't stand being frightened, and she showed her flaws as soon as he opened his mouth.

Even she was almost led astray.

It must be so!

He only guessed that she startled the ferret, and the people under his hands didn't see her discussing with Biyu and not reporting it.

So, things didn't go to the worst step.

Thinking of this, before the panicked Biyu opened his mouth to defend, Shen Qingci hastily said: "No, Mr. Sun doesn't know something."

She took a step forward, lowered her eyes and said apologetically, "I was the one who was going to take Biyu to visit the garden. I walked a little too fast on the road. I never expected to surprise the ferret hiding under the tree."

"And this little guy disappeared in a blink of an eye. It's really no wonder Biyu."

"She originally said to go to Yiyuan to report a letter, but I remembered that a friend who had raised ferrets once said that domestic ferrets would turn back to find their masters when they were frightened."

"I thought that she was in the Sun Mansion anyway, and Yiyuan was just around the corner. This little guy is quite spiritual, so there shouldn't be any trouble, so she stopped her."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingci looked down at the ferret in Sun Zhijing's arms, "If Mr. Sun wants to blame me, I will be the first one to be punished."

Not to mention that she was a guest, so she really couldn't be punished, and Sun Zhijing couldn't continue to punish her for what she said just now.

She has already wiped the jasper clean.

Moreover, what she said was correct, the ferret was frightened and indeed turned to find Sun Zhijing, and now it is safe and sound in his arms.

Shen Qingci has never raised ferrets, and no one told her about the habit of ferrets. What she said just now was purely to cover Sun Zhijing's mouth by taking advantage of the trend.

She didn't know if Sun Zhijing was aware of her special physique, but she first said that it was because of her quick steps that she surprised the ferret.

Therefore, even if the ferret is still frightened when he sees her now, he can still use the argument that he has been frightened by her once before and has an impression of her.

As for how much Sun Zhijing can believe, let's wait and see.

Hearing her words, Biyu, who was about to kowtow to beg for mercy, nodded repeatedly.

Shen Qingci's guess was right, although she was timid, she was also clever.

"My lord, it's the servant's fault. The servant didn't find the ferret hiding under the tree at the first time, and didn't remind it in time, so Lady Zhou scared it away."

"Afterwards, the servant believed Mrs. Zhou's words, thinking that the ferret would go back to look for the eldest son, so he didn't go to Yiyuan. It was the negligence of the servant, and I ask the eldest son to punish him."

But an oversight is nothing compared to disturbing the ferret and not reporting it.

Sure enough, Sun Zhijing's brows and eyes stretched a bit.

He raised his hand towards the boy who was about to carry Biyu away, and stopped their movements.

"I see."

He glanced lightly at Biyu: "Since Mrs. Lin ordered it, it's no wonder."

Hearing this, Biyu, who was relieved, almost collapsed to the ground.

But Sun Zhijing no longer looked at her, and turned to look at Shen Qingci with a calm expression.

"It's also my fault. I thought it was the servant girl who was slack and wanted to hold her accountable, but I never thought it was a misunderstanding, and she almost offended Mrs. Lin."

Sun Zhijing let go of the ferret and let it disappear in a blink of an eye, then he cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Qing to say goodbye.

"Madam Lin, please don't take it to heart. What Madam Lin said just now is true. The ferret was frightened and indeed turned to look for me."

Shen Qingci turned sideways and returned a salute: "Mr. Lin is serious, it's my fault."

The tense and condensed atmosphere just now seemed to be relieved again.

But Shen Qingci became more wary of Sun Zhijing.

She was about to leave with Jasper, but at this moment she heard a female voice behind her.

"Miss Zhou."

It was Bi Tao, another maid sent to Jinxiuxuan.

Shen Qingci followed the sound, and saw her running over panting: "Mr. Lin suddenly fainted, you should go back and have a look."
