I was tricked by the black lotus [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 8

Of course, in order to play the original owner well, Shen Qingshu didn't break his leg.

Before the banquet was over, Shen Qingshu walked out slowly, with his brows furrowed.

It's not the way to stop one by one.

From the corner of her eye, Shen Qingshu saw the eldest lady coming out with slightly stumbling steps, she quickly loosened her frowning brows, and stepped forward a few steps, trying to support the eldest lady.

"At home, are you still afraid that I will fail if I fall?" The eldest lady didn't want Shen Qingshu to help.

Seeing that she looked happy, Shen Qingshu didn't say any more.

When Shen Qingshu was about to rush to the Hefengyuan, he suddenly heard a cry of "Oops" coming from the side.

The eldest lady really fell.

Although the servants next to her had already stepped forward to help her out, Shen Qingshu hesitated for a moment, but still took her hand.After all, she is the original owner's mother, so now she always has to show some mother-daughter affection on her face, Shen Qingshu thought.

Now she began to realize that playing the original owner was really a strenuous task.After passing through, Shen Qingshu's only thought was to save Wen Xueer, the most pitiful second girl in the original book, who she regretted the most. Unexpectedly, these fetters of the original owner could not be broken easily.

"Mother, you can't be brave next time." Shen Qingshu just wanted to quickly help his mother back into the house.

"I'm getting old, and my eyesight is blurred. I need someone to move that stone away tomorrow."

Before she finished walking, Shen Qingshu heard Xi San's voice, and her hands froze suddenly.

The eldest lady hurt her legs and was still walking slowly, but every step of Shen Qingshu felt like she was stepping on pins and needles, which made her very uncomfortable.

Why is the courtyard where Da Furen lives so far away? Cold sweat broke out on Shen Qingshu's forehead.

It's okay, I can make it in time, the Hefeng Courtyard is far away, and my second uncle has to leave for quite some time, Shen Qingshu comforted himself.

But still flustered.

The voice of Wen Xueer crying softly described in the original book suddenly reverberated in her mind.

"Qingshu, what's wrong with you?" The eldest lady noticed something was wrong with her.

"The wine is strong, the stamina is picking up." Shen Qingshu forced himself to be calm.

"Okay, there are people behind, so don't help, go back and have a good rest."

"Okay." Shen Qingshu wished for her to say this.

As soon as he was out of Da Furen's sight, Shen Qingshu ran away.

Hurry up, hurry up.

"Sister! Look." A person suddenly stopped halfway.

Seeing Shen Qingshu's strange eyes, Shen Zi'an took a few steps back in fright.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qingshu tried hard to restrain his breath.

"Why do you make it look like I'm going to eat you? I got a few new Kongming lanterns. Do you want to play with them?"

"Another day," when Shen Qingshu was about to leave, she suddenly felt a twitch in her heart, she turned to Shen Zi'an, "Order one for me."

"Hey, Xiao Mian, if you want to play, just say it, and you can bear it in front of me." Shen Zi'an picked up a Kongming lantern to help her light it.

After Shen Qingshu took the Kongming lantern, he trotted all the way to the Hefengyuan.

......

"It's gone, it's gone!"

"Change to a bigger bucket, quick!"

......

Shen Qingshu stood in a dark corner, calmly looking at the crowd who were putting out the fire in front of them.

As she expected, the second uncle drank and walked slowly. The moment he just got into the Hefengyuan, Shen Qingshu also arrived, and the guards of the Hefengyuan had been deliberately led away. That one fire is simply a breeze.

Although the fire is small, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.

She rushed in immediately and pulled Wen Xue'er out. By the way, she pretended to be shocked and asked the second uncle, why is he here?

"I passed by and found it was on fire. I came in to save people. I didn't expect Qingshu to move faster than me." The second uncle smiled embarrassingly.

Shen Qingshu sneered, and ordered Wen Xueer to be sent back to his Qiufengyuan first.

After all, she still had to observe the situation at the scene of the arson.

It would be best if the Hefeng Courtyard couldn't accommodate people, so Wen Xueer would have to live in her Qiufeng Courtyard.

Let's see who is still a moth.

It's just that Shen Qingshu was "invited" away by the head of the Shen family before he could observe the results.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Shen Zi'an was kneeling in front of Shen Shangshu with his head bowed.

"Shen Qingshu, you kneel too."

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment, seeing that Shen Shangshu's face was really ugly, he could only kneel down reluctantly.

"Which one of your siblings started the fire tonight!"

"Me." Shen Qingshu replied lightly.

"Father, I gave the Kongming Lantern to my sister." Shen Zi'an said suddenly.

Shen Qingshu glanced at Shen Zi'an in surprise.

"This time, the Hefengyuan will burn the Shen family's ancestral hall next time!" Shen Shangshu was so angry that he raised the cane and wanted to pull it towards Shen Zi'an.

"Father!" Shen Qingshu stopped him, "I originally thought about the remoteness of the Hefengyuan, so I went to put the Kongming lantern, and I was afraid of accidents, but I didn't expect it to fall, and it hit the Hefengyuan."

"You—you—" Shen Shangshu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Since I made a mistake, I am willing to be punished." Shen Qingshu was afraid that he would discover his true motive.

"Okay, you want to be punished, right? Kneel here for two hours," Shen Shangshu turned to his son after finishing speaking, "Shen Zi'an comes out, you want to beat him too!"

After the surroundings returned to silence, Shen Qingshu rubbed his knees and was about to stand up, but found that there were still people guarding the door.

It's really... nothing more, it's all about acting.

However, I am not the real Shen family, kneeling alone in the ancestral hall in the dead of night is really... chilly.Shen Qingshu couldn't help shivering.

The sound of light footsteps approaching gradually made Shen Qingshu's drowsiness dissipate in an instant.

Before she could make a sound in the future, Wen Xueer raised a slender finger on her lips to signal Shen Qingshu to keep silent.

"I brought tea cakes for the people guarding outside, so I was allowed in." Wen Xueer's voice was very soft, "When I went to Qiufengyuan, they brought hot wine."

It was only then that Shen Qingshu noticed that Wen Xueer also brought a small flagon and two wine glasses.

"You want to drink with me?" Shen Qingshu's eyes lit up a little.

"It's cool at night, warm your body." Wen Xueer poured wine down her eyelashes.

The sound of the wine crashing into the wall of the glass was particularly crisp in the silence of the night, and it fell straight into Shen Qingshu's heart.

It's a pity that Shen Qingshu still couldn't get used to the wine here, he choked and coughed several times after only one sip.It made Wen Xueer pat her on the back again and again.

"It's okay, I'm in a hurry to drink." Shen Qingshu eased up a bit.

"Hefengyuan will take some time to repair, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Qiufengyuan these days." Wen Xueer said.

"That's good, I can't ask for more."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Shen Qingshu looked deeply into her eyes, "You were shocked tonight."

Wen Xueer was silent, and then smiled slightly: "It's better to drink the bar first, so as not to get cold."

Seeing that she was unwilling to mention more, Shen Qingshu didn't say much, but raised his glass: "Come."

While pushing and exchanging cups, sleepiness and drunkenness surged up together, and Shen Qingshu began to feel that his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

How could two hours be so long... Unknowingly, Shen Qingshu fell to the side.

With a plop, even the usually quiet Wen Xueer was slightly startled.

She stared at Shen Qingshu, and slowly put her head on her lap.

Wen Xueer brushed Shen Qingshu's hair lightly, and murmured in a low voice: "Why did you do this?"

"Shen Qingshu, can you tell me why?"

The only response to her was Shen Qingshu's shallow breathing.

When Shen Qingshu woke up, he found that there were several futons under his body, and Wen Xueer had disappeared.

When I went out, the sky was already white.

"Is Wen Xueer still asleep?" Shen Qingshu arrested the maid as soon as he entered Hefengyuan.

"Yes, Miss Wen didn't know where she went last night, and she came back late, so she only slept for more than an hour."

"Be gentle, don't wake her up." Shen Qingshu lowered his voice.

"Miss, where are you going after you came back?"

"Go to breakfast."

I wonder if Zuixianju serves breakfast?Shen Qingshu thought.

Fortunately, it was done.

Shen Qingshu sat in Zuixianju for a whole morning with a cup of tea and a basket of buns before he waited for Boss Yuan.

As soon as Boss Yuan stepped into the Drunken Immortal Residence, Shen Qingshu immediately greeted him.

"Miss Shen, you—" Boss Yuan frowned, "Yuan has made it clear enough."

Original owner, original owner, why did you put on a hot face and a cold face before?Shen Qingshu sighed secretly, then corrected his expression, and said: "I ask Boss Yuan not to take my careless words from before. As for what Boss Yuan said, I have already forgotten. I am here today because I have something to do." beg."

Boss Yuan was stunned for a moment before responding, "Say it."

"Boss Yuan has a very wide network of contacts in the capital. Can you help me find a good boatman? It must be the most reliable one." Shen Qingshu looked earnestly.

Shen Qingshu originally wanted to help the original owner break off contact with Boss Yuan, but he didn't expect to be unfamiliar with the place. He just remembered that Boss Yuan was powerful and involved in everything in the original book, so he had to come to him to entrust.

Boss Yuan pondered for a moment, and said, "There are safe boat owners."

"I'll pay for the money, and please ask Boss Yuan to contact me."

"Are you going?"

"not me."

Boss Yuan also simply said: "After I deal with it, I will send someone to Shang Shufu to inform me."

"By the way, Qin Luoluo—" Shen Qingshu suddenly had a thought.

It's just that Shen Qingshu didn't want to ask any more questions when he saw Boss Yuan's gloomy eyes.

It seems that the hero and heroine have really become.

No matter whether I can help Wen Xueer fend off those catastrophes, as long as her status as the second female lead is still there, she will become a catalyst for the development of the relationship between the hero and heroine.

It's better to send Xue'er away first.Without the opportunity to meet and get acquainted, the follow-up will not be able to develop.Shen Qingshu secretly made up his mind.

It's just that at the thought of sending Wen Xue'er away, Shen Qingshu suddenly felt empty.

Where can she go alone?I continued to play Shen Qingshu in the capital, which seemed to be meaningless.

Boss Yuan suddenly interrupted her thoughts: "Who are you sending away from the capital?"

"I have a cousin who is gentle, beautiful and demure. This capital city is too messy and chaotic, it's not suitable for her to stay."

Boss Yuan was startled again.He vaguely felt that Shen Qingshu's eyes were somewhat familiar at the moment.

She used to look at herself like this, with a little affection.But I didn't expect to meet again now when she mentioned another woman.

Boss Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
