Phi-Fic Chapter 519 Meeting again
Chapter 519 Meeting again
Shen Cuo bought a house outside and usually stays in this house.
Ever since Li Hongting ascended the throne, he has not been to the Grand Princess's Mansion. Even though people from there invited him several times, he did not go.
But Su Qianqian always likes to come here no matter whether she has something to do or not!
Today, she knew Shen Cuo was not on duty, so she came here again!
Watching Su Qianqian take out the snacks she brought, one plate at a time from the food box, and patiently placing them on the table!
Shen Cuo couldn't help but said, "Princess, you shouldn't be so troublesome!"
Su Qianqian was in a good mood. After arranging the snacks, she turned around and smiled at Shen Cuo!
"Brother, you forgot again, call me Qianqian, Qianqian!!"
"Yeah, okay, I'll remember that!"
"No, you've said this many times! You have to call me by my name a few more times today, get used to it!"
Shen Cuo frowned, obviously not liking to be too close to Su Qianqian. He always felt uncomfortable being too close to her.
"Don't make a fuss. You are a princess, so you should act like a princess."
Su Qianqian's smile froze: "But you also called me Qianqian before..."
"Whether I call you Qianqian or Princess, you are still my sister, do you understand?"
"I don't understand. My elder brother would call his younger sister Princess."
"Qianqian, I'm a little tired today, you go back first."
Su Qianqian's expression also turned ugly: "Are you tired? Or do you not have the time to deal with me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Brother, do you like her that much? You're already so impatient after just meeting her once."
Shen Cuo frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? It's all spread in the palace now. The virtuous concubine just came out of confinement and couldn't wait to come out in the snow to meet you in private."
"Nonsense, absolute nonsense, who said that?"
Su Qianqian felt even colder when she saw Shen Cuo jumping up and down.
"Brother, you feel guilty."
Shen Cuo paused. He was not feeling guilty. He was just worried. It was definitely not a good thing if the concubines in the harem were rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with someone else.
He was worried that the emperor would suspect her.
"She and I are just friends. I, as a grown man, don't mind what people say about me. But she is a woman, and women can't do that. If someone says that about you one day, I will also jump out."
Hearing Shen Cuo say this, Su Qianqian couldn't help but curl her lips: "Brother, you said this yourself. You should regard me as as important as her."
"You're a sister, you're a family member, you're more important than her."
Shen Cuo said against his will.
Hearing Shen Cuo say this, Su Qianqian smiled even more happily.
"You said it yourself. Family is more important than anything else."
"kindness."
"Then go shopping with me."
Shen Cuo paused: "Just you and me?"
Su Qianqian nodded: "Yes, just you and me."
She deliberately didn't bring her maid today because she wanted to be alone with Shen Cuo.
"It's been very cold these days, so you'd better not go out. It would be bad if you get caught in a cold wind."
"But I want to go out for a walk..."
Shen Cuo was firm: "No, I'll go with you another day when the weather is warmer."
"Well, you said it yourself."
Su Qianqian happily picked up the snacks she made: "Brother, try it, I made them myself. How do they taste?"
"good to eat."
Knowing that Lu Shian was an excellent cook, Su Qianqian secretly competed with him and invited many famous chefs. She didn't believe that she couldn't be better than Lu Shian.
"Brother, how long have you not been to the Shen family?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"How about we go to Shen's house?"
Su Qianqian has planted her own spies here. She knows everything Shen Cuo does. Shen Cuo also knows that there is someone in his house.
Outside the palace gate, Nanxing rolled his eyes at the young eunuch beside him.
"I was wondering why the eunuch following behind was so wretched."
The young eunuch standing next to her had an unhappy look on his face: "How dare you! I am the queen, how can you say that I am vulgar?"
Nan Xing raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you a bit vulgar? You avoided my gaze, didn't dare to look up, and even lowered your voice deliberately when speaking. If someone didn't know, they would think you stole something from the palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards at the palace gate immediately cast a scrutinizing look at the two of them, and Lu Shian was so scared that he quickly pulled Nanxing away.
"Why are you talking so loudly, girl?"
Nan Xing insisted: "I just speak in a normal voice, it's just that their hearing is too good."
"Let's go to the Shen family first."
Shen Zhimu was naturally happy to see his nephew, but he had encountered so many bad things in his business recently that he really couldn't smile.
"Oh, you should entertain the princess well. I still have things to deal with. Please don't neglect the princess, understand."
"Uncle, what happened?"
Shen Cuo knew a little about his uncle. Every time he came back, he was very happy. He could see that his uncle was really kind to him.
But today he had a sad look on his face, and even though he tried hard to force a smile, that smile was so insincere that it was hard for him not to see it.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't sleep well these past two days, so I'm not in a good mood."
"Is that so?" Shen Cuo stared at Shen Zhimu, and Shen Zhimu laughed it off with him.
Seeing that his uncle was unwilling to speak, Shen Cuo stopped asking: "Where is Xiao Teng?"
"Oh, he's out. He'll be back soon."
At this point he quickly waved his hands: "Oh, oh, no more, I have to go get busy."
After that, he turned to look at Su Qianqian: "The princess is Acuo's sister, which means she is one of us. Don't be polite, just be casual, just be casual."
Su Qianqian nodded obediently: "Okay, uncle, just go and get busy."
This was not the first time Su Qianqian came to the Shen residence. As long as she had the chance to be with Shen Cuo, she would be willing to go anywhere.
It is true that Shen Zhimu was in a hurry to leave because he was busy, but he had to tell the housekeeper first to ask Shen Teng not to let anything slip when he came back, so as not to make Shen Cuo worry.
While he was thinking about this, he had only taken a few steps when he saw the housekeeper coming in a hurry.
"Master, Miss Nanxing is here, and she brought someone with her."
"Who?"
"Master, you should go and have a look yourself."
"Oh, okay. Wait a minute. When that guy comes back, tell him not to reveal his identity in front of Ah Cuo. Also, prepare some shops and banknotes and give them to Ah Cuo later. Let him take them with him."
"Okay, sir. I'll go guard the door now. I'll give him instructions as soon as the young master comes back."
"go quickly."
After giving instructions, Shen Zhimu walked towards the room where the housekeeper Nanxing was.
After knocking on the door and getting permission, Shen Zhimu pushed the door open and walked in.
"Nanxing girl, who did you bring with you?"
As he was speaking, he saw a eunuch with his back to him: "Who is this..."
Lu Shian turned around. She had disguised herself slightly so that Shen Zhimu didn't recognize her.
She was now raised with delicate skin and tender flesh. Although the eunuch species tends to be feminine, one can still tell at a glance that she is a woman. So she put on some makeup, making herself darker and rougher, so as to conceal her identity.
Nan Xing said, "It's Lu Shian, Uncle Shen, can't you tell at all?"
"Lu, ah, Madam Consort Xian, I bow to you."
Shen Zhimu was about to kowtow, but Lu Shian stopped him: "Master Shen, you don't have to be so polite."
Shen Zhimu turned around and glared at Nanxing: "How dare you address the virtuous concubine by her name, little girl?"
Lu Shian chuckled: "It's okay, Nanxing is not an outsider."
Shen Zhimu has now accepted that Nanxing is his daughter-in-law, so he is naturally very nice to her. This elder's tone makes Lu Shian very happy for Nanxing.
She knew that Nanxing was an orphan and later left her master. Now that she had the Shen family to rely on, she would not have to wander around anymore.
"Alas." Shen Zhimu sighed, "A tall tree attracts the wind. There are some reasons why this happened."
"It's meaningless to say all this now. The most important thing right now is how to solve it."
"If your Majesty wishes to withdraw, I will order the accountant to settle the accounts and give your share to you."
"Don't worry, since we have encountered a problem, just solve it."
"Does the queen have an idea?"
Lu Shian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about doing business, but I think it's possible to transfer the property or break it up into smaller pieces."
"Transferring property... that's a good word, but we still need to think carefully about how and where to transfer it."
Shen Teng pushed the door open from outside and said, "The Shen family is not a small family. It is not easy to move."
Although Shen Teng usually appears to be careless, he is really talented in doing business.
