After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

Shen Ning took his people out early in the morning, but the address was not close, and the round trip took some time, so it was already dark when they returned to the capital.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the lights at the city gate were dim.

After entering the city, she hurried home, curling up herself as she walked into the mansion. When she got off the carriage, she stamped her feet in the cold snowy wind, but she didn't expect that someone was waiting for her at home.

Lu Mei handed over a warm fur coat to replace Shen Ning's snow-stained cape: "The master came here an hour ago and asked someone to prepare a soup pot. The freshly boiled soup is waiting for you to come back."

Shen Ning went into the house. There was broth cooking in the stove. The aroma filled the air. It was too tempting for her after a busy day.

Qin Zhuo was sitting on a chair next to him, reading a book with a casual posture. At first glance, he looked more like the owner of the house.

When Shen Ning stepped in, Qin Zhuo put down his book and stood up. His eyes naturally fell on her, and he looked at her with a little warmth: "You're back."

The atmosphere was a bit strange, as if they were a family. Shen Ning washed his hands and went over.

"Why is Mr. Qin here?"

Qin Zhuo frowned, pulled her hand and sat down: "Change your name."

Don’t you feel awkward to still call him Young Master Qin despite the relationship we have now?

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment: "What......"

Qin Zhuo raised his chin slightly, his eyes dropped: "Qin Zhuo, Zhuo Lang, A Zhuo, you choose one."

Shen Ning opened his mouth, but couldn't shout out a single word.

The first name is fine, but the last two are too intimate, and it would be impolite to call them by their names.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Qin Zhuo was not ready to let her go. He lowered his head and approached her: "I am five years older than you, why don't you call me brother?"

Brother Qin Zhuo?

A wave of heat rushed to his face instantly, but Shen Ning quickly suppressed it: "No."

When she heard the word "brother", she thought of Shen Shu calling her brother everywhere, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Qin Zhuo had no choice but to pour her a bowl of hot water: "Don't worry, think slowly, drink the soup first to warm your body."

The soup is made from donkey bones and medicinal herbs. It warms and nourishes the body. After drinking a bowl of it, you will feel a lot more comfortable.

Lumei puts freshly prepared meatballs and meat slices into the dish, and after cooking, dips them in special sauce, which is simply delicious.

Shen Ning's eyes were shining as he ate. He accidentally stuffed a whole meatball into his mouth. It was too hot but he didn't want to spit it out. He chewed while breathing out air, and his cheeks were bulging.

After finally finishing his meal, he looked up and saw Qin Zhuo's undisguised smile, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"excuse me."

Qin Zhuo's smile faded a bit: "Are you sure you want to keep talking to me so politely?"

Shen Ning is very versatile and smooth in his dealings with others, but he always feels a little uncomfortable in front of Qin Zhuo and cannot say anything considerate.

The main reason was that this was her first time having this kind of relationship with a man, and she didn’t know how to get along with him.

Qin Zhuo leaned closer, and Shen Ning's subconscious action of stepping back instantly made him laugh. He grabbed her arm to stop her from retreating, and with the other hand he took a handkerchief to wipe her cheek which was stained with a little soup.

"Why are you hiding? I know you are going to pay tribute to Lord Shen, so I won't do anything to you today."

Shen Ning: “…”

After wiping his face, Qin Zhuo stood up holding the handkerchief and said, "You are still very weak. Go to bed early tonight."

Shen Ning suddenly reached out and grasped Qin Zhuo's arm, smiled and said, "You should go back and rest early, thank you."

Qin Zhuo looked at her with complicated eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration. Did she have to be so polite?

Forget it, today is special, I won’t bother with her.

"Lu Qing's identity is sensitive. You should avoid contact with him in public in the future. It will not do you any good."

So many people wanted to kill Lu Qing to get to the top, but she managed to save Lu Qing with just one move. She is really not afraid of death.

Shen Ning naturally knew that saving Lu Qing would offend many people, but she did it secretly. Apart from Lu Qing herself, no one else should know that she was related, but Qin Zhuo obviously knew it.

How many people out there know about this?

She had anticipated her troubles.

As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Qin Zhuo raised his hand and touched her ear: "Don't panic, no one else knows except me."

Because everyone else who knew is dead.

"Even if anything happens, I'm still here."

He still has the ability to protect her.

Qin Zhuo left, and Shen Ning held the bowl without picking up his chopsticks for a long time.

No one would understand that she wanted to save those who had died in the previous life. In fact, she just wanted to change the fate that seemed to have been determined. She changed their fate and also for her own sake.

But she also understood that everything in this world has cause and effect.

Her rescue of Mo Lin and Mo Xueer was the first hidden danger. At least now she still hasn't figured out who kidnapped Shen Yu.

At the moment, Fang Shiyan and her two sons are the least dangerous, but Liu Chunsheng is Shen Changlin's son, and who knows what he will be like when he grows up.

Now there is another Lu Qing. Even though Shen Ning said nice things, she didn't think Lu Qing was a good person. Who wouldn't be a ruthless person if they could reach their position in the officialdom?

There are risks in everything, but the worst thing is not the inability to face risks, but that you don’t know where the risks come from.

Shen Ning slowly picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth. It was soft and chewy and tasted great.

No one can live a life without worries and smoothly. Anyway, she knew that she could not live such a life.

If you don't want to die, then try to live.

As for whether she was right or wrong, the future will give her the answer.

Qin Zhuo said he would protect her, so it was worth it for her to place her bet on him.

鲁家

Lu Qing went home, had a meal, said a few words to his wife, and then went quickly to the study.

Although he had just rushed back, there were still many things for him to worry about.

He had only been away for a month and a half, but the position of the Imperial Censor had already been shaken several times.

Not only did these people want to kill him for official positions, they even dared to touch his mother's coffin. He would never tolerate this.

He immediately picked up his pen and wrote a memorial describing his experiences during this period and sent it to the emperor, so that they could see the power of him as the first censor.

He wrote furiously, and because of his anger, he was so focused on writing that he didn't even notice that there was another person in the room.

After he put down his pen, he suddenly looked up. A young man in black brocade clothes had been sitting next to him for an unknown amount of time, playing with a jewel-encrusted dagger out of boredom. He only looked over when he stopped.

His eyes were as gloomy as a poisonous snake.

Lu Qing frowned: "Qin Zhuo, when did you come in?"

Qin Zhuo: "I have been here since Lord Lu started writing, but I cannot bear to disturb you as you are so inspired."

He stood up slowly, holding a memorial in his hand: "Don't be nervous, Lord Lu. I just want to show you something and ask you to do me a small favor."
