Chapter 75 - indifferent
Bai Chu really wanted to hold Shen Yuanhao to find Shen Jingzhi, but she overestimated her physical strength.
Although this child is only six years old, he clearly looks like his father, and with the thick winter clothes, a real person looks at the bulging mass, and the weight is not light.
It happened to be cold outside, Shen Yuanhao was lying on her shoulders, and a gust of cold wind blew over.
“Third aunt, let me down.”
Shen Yuanhao said a little embarrassedly.
Bai Chu put him on the ground, only to realize that his arm was a little numb, and when he moved a little, he couldn’t help gasping for air.
She didn’t do anything, but Shen Yuanhao was so frightened that he stood on tiptoe and looked up with his little face in a panic: “Aunt San, where does it hurt? Is it because I’m too heavy and tender you?”
Bai Chu relied on his guilt at this moment, and rubbed his white tender face heavily: “Then Xiao Hao’er kisses me and it won’t hurt.”
Shen Yuanhao’s round eyes widened, and his tender little face was wrinkled in anguish. He considers himself to be an older child, so he can’t always get tired of kissing and hugging in the arms of his elders, but the third aunt has just helped her to talk to her grandmother and walked with her for so long, and her hands are uncomfortable.
At the thought of rejecting him, Shen Yuanhao’s small heart was filled with guilt, mixed with a trace of reluctance that he didn’t even notice.
The grandmother who loved him the most among adults in the past is now pampering others, and the third uncle is invisible all day long. Although his father is kind to him, his stern face is too scary. If he does something bad, he will punish him.
No one likes to tease him deliberately with a good-looking smile like Aunt San, her eyes are soft and soft, and she is full of love. It is also a very happy thing to be coquettish in her arms.
Thinking of this, the young master’s face flushed slightly, and he silently lowered his head to reflect: Sure enough, his father said that he lacked self-control and should strengthen training!
His little head was full of wild thoughts. Suddenly, a soft touch touched his face. Shen Yuanhao raised his head in a daze, just in time to meet Bai Chucanran’s bright smiling eyes. She reached out on top of his head. Kneading: “Then it’s the same when I kiss you.”
boom–
He suddenly took two steps forward and hugged her leg firmly, so tight that Bai Chu was a little surprised. He turned to smile and was about to say something when a mellow and low voice sounded one step ahead of her: “Yuan Hao?”
Bai Chu stood up straight, and saw Shen Jingzhi walking towards him from the other end of the corridor, his tall figure made the surrounding eaves and pillars seem much smaller.
She smiled and said hello: “Brother.”
Shen Jingzhi glanced at his son, who was calm and well-behaved, far surpassing his peers. He stretched his arms and hugged the adult’s leg like an ordinary child acting like a spoiled child. He suddenly couldn’t believe his eyes. Not even a single “Yuan Hao” could be called out.
Originally, he was dazzled by the sudden outburst of emotion, but he didn’t expect his gaffe side to be caught by his father. From Bai Chu’s point of view, the ears on both sides of his face were dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She chuckled lightly, and took the initiative to draw Shen Jingzhi’s attention to herself: “Where is eldest brother going? I also want to take Xiao Hao’er to Yunxiaoyuan to find you.”,
Shen Jingzhi was silent for a moment before saying, “I was going to Mo Tangxuan.”
“Huh? Are you looking for the third brother? He’s not necessarily in the house.”
“I know.” Shen Jingzhi said solemnly, “I’m looking for you.” According to his status, it would be beyond the norm to go directly to Wutong Courtyard, so he also planned to go to Mo Tangxuan first, and send a message to Bai Chu Come here, this is the distance between the front and rear doors.
Bai Chu smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence.” She took Shen Yuanhao’s soft little hand, pulled him to sit down on the bluestone balustrade next to him, and patted the seat beside him with a smile, “Just take a break, Brother, come and sit.”
Shen Jing’s brows were slightly wrinkled, and the shallow ravine made his expression look more serious: “It’s cold upstairs, your body is just right.”
Bai Chu was stunned for a while, the smile on his lips deepened, and the soft tone sounded more and more close to nature: “Just sitting for a while, I just walked here from Hexiangyuan with Xiao Haoer, I’m so tired.”
The soft and long tail sound entered the ear, and there was a feeling of coquettishness in a trance.
The lines on Shen Jingzhi’s face were still as solemn and solemn, but the gully between his brows slowly dissipated, he took a step forward and sat down beside her.
“You are too spoiled for Yuan Hao.”
Although Shen Jingzhi was surprised by Shen Yuanhao’s unusual closeness to Bai Chu, he reacted in the next breath, allowing his young and precocious son to show the innocence and childishness that a child of this age should have. Speaking of which, he should thank her.
But with his cold and hard tone, it seemed like he was blaming her.
As soon as the words came out, Bai Chu didn’t pay much attention, but caught a glimpse of Shen Jingzhi pursing her lips invisibly, and a vague feeling of annoyance flashed across her deep black eyes, she blinked, her eyes bright and bright: “Thank you, big brother. You care about me, but because Xiao Hao’er is too cute, I can’t bear to let it go, it’s my fault.”
She reached out and rubbed Shen Yuanhao’s soft and smooth face, with undisguised affection on her face.
Bai Chu doesn’t particularly like children, but good-looking, well-behaved and cute cubs are particularly lovable no matter what species they are, especially when Shen Yuanhao and Shen Jingzhi are standing together, they have similar facial features, but their demeanor is completely different. It’s more fun if it’s different.
But it was really cold outside, Shen Yuanhao’s face was already a little cold at this moment, Bai Chu coaxed him a few more words, and asked the grandma next to him to take him to Yunxiaoyuan first, after all, children’s resistance is weak. Can’t stand the cold winter wind.
Shen Jingzhi looked at Shen Yuanhao’s reluctant gaze, his expression softened a little, and ordered: “Be careful on the road.”
Waiting for Shen Yuanhao’s small figure to disappear from sight, Bai Chu asked curiously, “What is the big brother looking for from me?”
“About the incident on the frame of the Shen family,” Shen Jingzhi looked down at her with a heavy expression, “The Yin of the Beijing government conducted a rigorous search in the capital and caught a group of gangsters from the north, who was originally the king of Zhanshan. After being strangled by the government, he fled here, and made a living by beating and robbing houses. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple sent people to participate in the interrogation, and they checked them one by one, and their names, places of origin, and backgrounds were all available.”
At first, Bai Chu wondered why Shen Jingzhi told her about this, but later realized that he was the imperial censor of Xuedu, and he did have the power and qualification to try major cases with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
She thought about it, and suddenly smiled: “Big brother intervened in this case, but the Holy One indicated it?”
Shen Jingzhi’s unwavering face rarely showed a hint of surprise, and it turned into admiration in an instant: “Yes, the Holy One is worried that the checks and balances of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple alone are not enough, so let me investigate in secret.”
His tone was flat and relaxed, but the situation was actually much more serious than he said.
The emperor made it clear that he suspected that this group of gangsters who appeared out of thin air in the capital were well-intentioned and raised secret soldiers, and their plans were very big.
That’s why Shen Jingzhi was involved. After all, the victim was his family, so his suspicions were greatly reduced.
“What did big brother find?”
“Those people’s backgrounds all match, but they are too detailed for the bandits who fell early and became bandits.” Shen Jingzhi’s tone was calm, “Especially, most of the corpses that were found in the end were the only three remaining. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple together assisted the governor of the capital to search the capital and found a house that was accidentally set on fire just before the thieves were caught.”
This is probably the longest paragraph that Bai Chu has heard from him. Although it was unexpected that Shen Jingzhi had the patience to talk to her in detail, it was more of an appreciation for his mellow and magnetic voice.
How could he get him to say something?
Bai Chu rested his chin in one hand, his slender and tender fingertips casually clicked his chin, slowed down his tone, and said softly, “But eldest brother must have found some clues, right?”
With a little bit of trust in his soft words, and against the starry smiling eyes, Shen Jingzhi nodded his head almost subconsciously, and then looked away unnaturally at random, “The people behind the scenes are hiding very deeply, The forces are intertwined, and although it cannot be hidden from the sky, if you investigate it carefully, you will inevitably be shocked by the grass.”
“However, there are already doubtful candidates for the saint.”
“Is it Prince An?” Bai Chu interrupted him with a smile.
This time, the surprise in Shen Jingzhi’s eyes was more obvious, he hesitated and asked, “How do you know?”
Bai Chu smiled, sat up slowly, and answered the question: “Brother, who do you think the purpose of this group of bandits was that day?”
“Shen Rong.” Shen Jingzhi’s deep eyes were full of calmness, “Maybe there is still you.”
Bai Chu was shocked now, but she didn’t ask him how he knew, instead she curled her lips and boasted, “Brother is really smart.”
Shen Jingzhi has never been praised in such a direct and intimate tone since he was a child, and the momentum he had just lifted disappeared a lot in an instant, and a faint helplessness appeared in the bottom of his eyes: “Since you guessed that this group of people came prepared, then The rest is easy to infer.”
“Then,” Bai Chu tilted his head and smiled, “Big brother also knows that Miss Hu’s injuries are not as righteous and awe-inspiring as they seem?”
Shen Jingzhi’s expression was indifferent, and he made a low “um”.
“Since grandma is happy, it’s okay to keep her.”
In the final analysis, Hu Manrou’s calculation was to gain the old lady’s trust and favor. As a grandson, Shen Jingzhi did not know that the old lady was in the house all the year round. There were not many close relatives and friends in Beijing, and the only junior who was raised in front of her. Shen Yuanhao is getting older, and after he is busy with his studies, it is bound to be difficult for him to take pleasure in his knees often.
So if Hu Manrou can really make the old lady happy, no one would mind raising an idler in the house for nothing.
Shen Jingzhi’s tone suddenly weakened a bit, showing a little hesitation: “It’s just that I have to apologise to you.”
Although Hu Manrou entered the capital for the first time, it was impossible for her to climb up to King An to cause this turmoil, but she was always a co-conspirator, and maybe she also harbored ill will towards Bai Chu. It was really unfair to her to leave such a hidden danger in the house.
Shen Jingzhi admits that he has always acted impartially and without favoritism, but this time he sought justice for Bai Chu because the old lady couldn’t blame Hu Manrou.
“Don’t worry, I will guarantee your safety. She won’t have any other thoughts besides accompanying her grandmother.” Shen Jingzhi’s calm tone was serious, but this serious study made people feel from the bottom of his heart. chill.
According to his opinion, since Hu Manrou can make the old lady happy, and she has tried her best to stay in the Shen residence, she should keep it for the rest of her life, and she should have a good time for the old lady. What, or going out to marry someone in the future, don’t think about it.
Bai Chu fixedly looked at Shen Jingzhi’s cold and handsome face, although she was still expressionless, but compared to the first time she saw him, she had restrained a lot of intimidating sharpness.
She thought that he was introverted, so his face was paralyzed and indifferent, but after seeing such a light-hearted sentence, he broke the girl who was in bloom from the branch in advance, threw it on the ground with disdain, and gave it to others. When the ornament went.
It can be seen that it is not unreasonable to say that the phase is born from the heart.
Bai Chu really wanted to sue Shen Jingzhi about what happened in Hexiangyuan, but he suddenly lost interest. According to his control, someone might report to him when he went back, so why should she interfere? Go in and be a villain.
She lowered her eyes leisurely, and replied with a light smile: “Then Chu Hua will thank eldest brother.”
