Chapter 06 Remembering a grudge

Pay attention to the occasion?

Is Shen Yan saying that she shouldn't put her hand on his in front of so many people?

But it was obviously him who reached out first.

Wait...

Is he implying that he can do it in private when no one is around...

What a pervert.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan's ears gradually became warm and she glared at him fiercely.

She quickly pulled back her hand and said weakly under the sharp gazes of everyone: "Yes, I'm sorry, this is my first time here, and I'm a little nervous."

Silent silence spread in the interrogation room at this moment.

Ning Yuan immediately realized how pale and ridiculous her previous explanation was.

Except for Shen Yan and others, who else is not here for the first time?

Who would go to the Ministry of Justice for no reason?

This is a place where you can come here with your life but not leave with your life.

The more she thought about it, the stronger the sense of oppression around her became.

At this time, she either wanted to flee or take the initiative to do something to ease the uneasiness in her heart.

At the moment when Mingjue put the torture instrument into Shen Yan's hand, she happened to take the initiative to open her legs, walked around in front of Shen Yan, and showed it to the maid in a low voice: "...This is the hand for doing rough work." At the

end, she stammered and added: "Maybe not, not that rough, but more, more like yours."

Shen Yan really looked at the hand carefully.

Although he could distinguish people's bones and muscles, and had seen all kinds of men and women, he rarely paid attention to the hands of the

ladies from aristocratic families. The only template he could refer to was his eldest sister, Shen Heng.

Shen Heng can paint paintings that are praised by famous artists of the time, and can also play the piano music that lingers for three days. It can be seen how much hard work she has put in private.

But despite this, she still applies milk and rose water to her hands every day, making her fingers slender and soft as if they have no bones.

Ning Yuan is different.

The tenderness of her palm just now still left some residual feelings in his heart. Now, when he looked closely, he saw that there was a thin thread where she held the pen, and the tip of her index finger was slightly different from the other fingertips, probably because of holding the needle for a long time.

She likes writing and also likes needlework?

Shen Yan felt that her preferences were somewhat different from what he imagined.

In his cognition, for a girl as superficial as her, the biggest hobby should be to tormenting her appearance.

But it can also be seen that no one in Ning Mansion has bothered to take care of her in the details. She is not even as good as the so-called maid kneeling in front of him.

"Miss Ning." Shen Yan said lightly, "You broke in, is there something urgent?"

If she continued to talk nonsense, the interrogation would become a joke.

"No, I just came to give you... clothes."

"Now it smells very good, I specially added the spices I usually use."

There will be no fishy smell in the lake water.

She lowered her head and looked at the package in her arms, hesitating whether to hand it to Shen Yan, but he did not look at her, and slowly asked: "Did you pass by a tea-making room on your way to find me?"

Ning Yuan recalled and nodded: "It seems so."

"Is that the reception room?"

Shen Yan seemed to be too lazy to say more to her: "Since you know, why are you still standing here? Get out."

In fact, his tone was not very heavy, and it was almost the same as his usual tone of speaking.

But for some reason, Ning Yuan felt very wronged when she stood here with the package in her arms.

Wasn't she cooperating with what he said from beginning to end?

Why was he so fierce.

The thick and long eyelashes drooped down, covering the clear eyes.

Pei Zixing, who was standing by, had a little sympathy for Ning Yuan and was about to ask if she needed a guide, but before he could open his mouth, the man sitting on the chair spoke first.

"Are you waiting for me to see you off in person?"

... It was obviously the same words, but when it came out of Shen Yan's mouth, it always carried a coldness that kept people away.

It seemed like he was being weird. Pei Zixing thought.

Ning Yuan was not stupid, so she knew that he was urging her to go out.

But she didn't want to come.

She had already declined that day, saying that he was busy and didn't want to bother him.

It was he who forced her to repay the favor, and it was he who took the initiative to let her help. Now he thinks she is in the way and wants to drive her away.

On what basis?

She lowered her eyes, held her breath, raised her voice a little, and said angrily: "No need!"

The moment she pushed the door open and went out, she vaguely heard General Pei ask Shen Yan: "Miss Ning wants to give you underwear?"

"Does she take the initiative to pledge herself to him?"

...

The door of the interrogation room was closed, isolating the sounds inside and outside.

Shen Yan waved his hands, signaling Ming Jue to put the torture device on the maid, without explaining anything, but sneered in line with Pei Zixing's words: "Does she need to take the initiative to pledge herself to you? We are already engaged."

Pei Zixing looked at the cold face in front of him, and said with pity for Ning Yuan: "But you were too fierce just now, I saw that she was about to cry..."

Ming Jue tightened the torture device, accompanied by the maid's painful and twisted expression and screams, Shen Yan said calmly: "We are people who like to act like children, and this is how we are."

*

Ning Yuan walked towards the reception room with her little face slanted, and halfway through, she began to regret that she didn't play well in the quarrel just now.

Thinking carefully, it was true that she raised her voice, but compared with Shen Yan's intimidating without anger, it seemed very unimpressive.

Instead, it seemed like she was... being coquettish?

She should have taken the package from her arms and thrown it at him when he wasn't paying attention!

Throw it in his face, then turn around and walk away!

She wouldn't be so cowardly as she is now.

She slowly returned to the reception room, thinking about leaving the package behind and walking away alone.

But seeing people coming and going here, Shen Yan said before that this dress was made by his mother. If it was lost, he would definitely not forgive her and would keep pestering her.

She reluctantly waited a little longer.

When he came out, she would hit him with the package.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

She was not in a good mood and had no intention of drinking tea. She just watched the white smoke rising and falling from the kettle on the clay stove.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room where Shen Yan was finally opened.

She hurriedly got up with the package, but saw that it was the maid who was dragged out of the room first. The whole person had her eyes tightly closed, her face was pale, and the ten fingers hidden in her sleeves were bleeding.

After just one look, she held the door and wanted to vomit.

Pei Zixing ordered his men to drag the maid to the back of the corridor. Looking back, he saw her holding her chest and vomiting. He walked over with great strides, poured her a cup of warm water on the table, and handed it to her tactfully: "Miss Ning, I'm surprised."

She took the cup and drank it all, suppressed the disgust in her heart a little, and then raised her head and smiled gratefully at him: "Thank you."

Pei Zixing lowered his eyes to look at the girl's eyes, which were still a little red, and remembered her embarrassment in the room before, and said comfortingly: "Shen Zhiyu has always been like this. You don't have to take his words to heart."

She said perfunctorily with a hypocritical look: "No."

No, she holds a grudge.

He curled his lips, his eyes bright: "That's good, otherwise it's harmful to a person to hold back his anger, it's better to vent it out."

Ning Yuan had never stood so close to General Pei.

In the past, she only knew that he was tall, but she didn't know that when they stood side by side, she was just at his chest.

She even had to look up to see his face clearly.

She remembered that her height was up to Shen Yan's chin.

In this way, General Pei was a little taller than Shen Yan.

Hmm... His shoulders seemed to be a little broader than Shen Yan's. He was dressed in black and gold, and the leather belt showed off his strong waist and abdomen, making his waist narrow and legs long. Although

Shen Yan's figure was also excellent, he had more of a refined and bookish air, unlike General Pei, who had a sense of security.

What's more, when he saw that she was in pain, he would come to take good care of her, which was much better than that unlucky thing Shen Yan.

After a comparison, she had a good impression of Pei Zixing. Thinking of her revenge plan, she tapped the door frame with her fingertips and said, "I think what the general said is very true."

"I see that you have a good relationship with Shen Yan, so can you do me a small favor?" "

Okay, tell me about it?"

Ning Yuan didn't say anything.

Her eyes fell on the interrogation room, and she secretly grasped the package.

When she caught a glimpse of white coming out of the room, she raised her arms and threw the clothes and the package out with all her strength.

The package passed through the dim corridor and hit Shen Yan who had just walked out of the interrogation room.

Everyone cried out in surprise, but Shen Yan did not hide.

The package suddenly spread out about a foot away from his forehead, and the neatly folded robe covered his head, bringing a sweet fragrance that was completely different from the cold plum he usually liked.

After knowing what she was thinking, he felt that he might have been a little too much at that time.

In order not to owe her anything and let her stop pestering him, Shen Yan felt that this way was more decent than letting him be hit on the head by the package suddenly.

So, when the package flew over, he used some internal strength.

But what kind of taste does she have? She

actually used such a sweet and greasy spice.

The instigator's originally depressed mood suddenly became relieved. He turned his head flexibly and looked at Pei Zixing who was standing next to him. He said with sincerity and guilt: "General Pei, I told you that you don't have to rush to help me get the package."

"I know you mean well, but you see, we have been arguing for a long time, and now one of us loses control and it accidentally flies to Lord Shen's forehead."

After saying that, she lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The general said he would help me, so you can't cheat."

Shen Yan took his coat off his forehead and put it on his arm. His hair was a little messy, and he lowered his eyes to look at the girl running towards him.

Everyone's eyes also gathered together.

She bowed to him, her face full of shame, but only Shen Yan could see that her dark and round eyes did not show any remorse, but rather a deep sense of teasing. Her

voice was as soft as water, and no one could bear to blame her: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Shen, I didn't mean to mess up your appearance."

"Let me help you tidy it up."

She stood on tiptoes and raised her hand to ruffle his black hair.

The same sweet fragrance as on the outer robe came again, but it was more intense and lively than before.

Shen Yan was in a good mood and didn't say anything, but he never thought that he would let her ruffle his long hair even more.

He, who was already obsessed with cleanliness, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed her sleeve, his face slightly blue, and warned her: "Ms. Ning, stop it."
