Devil's Concubine

Chapter 217
Xiao Shen smiled wryly: "So, even you were fooled by Mo Ranchen, he was really scheming."

"Then what about you, did you ever hide anything from me?" Chu Yunshang said this, looking into Xiao Shen's eyes.

Xiao Shen's eyes froze slightly, and he said with a light smile, "I have nothing to hide from you."

"Really?" Chu Yunshang asked again, unable to hear any fluctuations in the voice.

Xiao Shen shook his head lightly: "No, I can't hide my thoughts, it's very superficial, if there is, you won't be able to see it."

"Not necessarily." Chu Yunshang said thoughtfully.

When it came to the matter of stealing the bride, Chu Yunshang also saw some clues. It was obvious that Mo Ranchen knew that the person who hijacked her that night was Xiao Shen, but he never found out. Later, Xiao Shen went to the Ning Palace to meet , There was a scene full of loopholes between her and Xiao Shen, and Mo Ranchen didn't point it out, but, three days ago, Mo Ranchen attacked Xiao Shen and injured Xiao Shen. It's a bit interesting to get up.

Chu Yunshang wasn't sure if Mo Ranchen did it out of jealousy, but this didn't seem to be important. The important thing was Xiao Shen's role in this matter.

Chu Yunshang's personality has always been carefree, and he and Xiao Shen are very close. There is almost no distinction between men and women, so it is common for them to fight.

But judging from this matter, she found that things may not be as simple as she thought.

That day when Xiao Shen took her away from Prince Ning's Mansion, he still took her away after entering the bridal chamber. On the surface, he wanted to test Mo Ranchen's feelings for her. shot.

In this way, it is no longer testing Mo Ranchen, but deliberately stimulating Mo Ranchen.

It was precisely because of this that Chu Yunshang asked this question, how could he know that Xiao Shen had played sloppy with her.

"You say not necessarily, what do you mean?" Xiao Shen's eyes turned dim inadvertently, but he asked with a smile on the surface.

"It's nothing." Chu Yunshang also had a headache. Since Xiao Shen didn't say anything, she couldn't ask any more questions, but continued: "Another question, you don't wonder why I went all the way south."

With a soft smile, Xiao Shen said leisurely: "If you don't want to say it, it's useless for me to ask, isn't it? Why bother to make fun of yourself?"

"You know me very well!" Chu Yunshang's heart moved slightly.

"Well, I've known each other for many years. If I don't even have such a tacit understanding, wouldn't I be very unqualified?" Xiao Shen curled his lips habitually, and responded calmly.

Chu Yunshang smiled wryly. She always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Shen. As for what was wrong, she couldn't tell for a while, so she hesitated, and said, "Actually, I have another name, Chu Huashao."

"Chu Huashao?" Xiao Shen's face changed slightly, and he strode over, holding the table with both hands, condescending, staring at Chu Yunshang, and said in a low voice, "You won't lie to me?"

"You seem to know something." Chu Yunshang was puzzled again.

Xiao Shen realized that he had lost his composure and tried to cover it up, but in the end he frowned. He didn't speak immediately, but sat down opposite Chu Yunshang. After a while, he said in a recalling tone: Years ago, my father told me a story, in that story, this name appeared several times..."

The conversation only started, Xiao Shen turned away, sighed quietly, and said: "I understand."

Chu Yunshang knew that Xiao Daoshi, the patriarch of the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River, had a lot of contacts and had his own business in the four countries, so it was not surprising that Xiao Shen had heard this story. She was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Since So, will you still follow me?"

Xiao Shen laughed loudly: "Of course!"

Chu Yunshang was confused: "I don't think this is in your interest."

"Benefits are something Mr. Dao Shi would value every penny. I never meddle in the affairs of the family, and it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Shen's voice was clear and clear, and with a few words, he regained his previous vigor.

Chu Yunshang was moved for a moment, how could she not understand how risky it was for Xiao Shen to make this decision, if she was not careful, the Xiao family would be implicated.

"I still hope you can seriously think about it. This is not a child's play, and you also understand that once I return to Chu State in my capacity, I will inevitably fall into the mud and cannot extricate myself. I cannot guarantee your safety, not even any guarantee." I can't give it to you."

Xiao Shen waved his hand: "No need, I have already made up my mind, unless you see that I am impatient and want to drive me away."

"I..." Chu Yunshang opened her mouth, but she couldn't utter some words. She nodded and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Then got up and left the room.

After Chu Yunshang left, Xiao Shen sat alone at the table, looked at the cup that Chu Yunshang drank from, looked at the faint pink spot on the rim of the cup, sighed softly, and reached out to take the cup.

Chu Huashao, Princess Huashao!

Chu Yunshang, you have presented me with another huge problem, but the more this is the case, the more I cannot leave.

because……

With a low sigh, the words behind did not make a sound.

This night, Xiao Shen was sleepless all night!

Early the next morning, after preparing enough dry food, the two continued on the road with Bao'er.

Bao'er is indeed very well-behaved, the mature one is not like a seven-year-old girl at all, Xiao Shen was worried that taking her on the road would delay time, but he did not expect that Bao'er can take care of himself completely, without making noise , if it is not too young to ride a horse, it is estimated that you have to ride on the road by yourself.

After a few days, Xiao Shen saw that Baoer looked more and more pleasing to the eye, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. He suddenly looked forward to it. In time, this little girl who is so similar to Chu Yunshang will also give him a big surprise. .

Three days later, Chu Yunshang and his party entered the territory of Chu State.

The three of them entered from the north. Although the battle was on the western front of the Chu State and had not yet spread here, traces of formations and training could be seen. Obviously, due to the massive attack from the Qin State, the entire Chu State had already entered. A state of strict surveillance.
