Shiye was silent for a while after hearing the words, and then stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Qiao Yuyan. After placing it in front of her, he looked a little at a loss, but lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"You didn't sell yourself to my family, you just signed a contract for a few years to protect me, so in your eyes, there is nothing so-called loyalty or disloyalty to me, right?"
Shiye's face became a little anxious when he heard this, "Girl, don't misunderstand me, I...I didn't mean that."
"Those people are the ones the Shadow Guard wants to arrest. In other words, they are... the people the Emperor wants. How dare you... where are you going to put my Qiao family?"
When Qiao Yuyan said these words, her voice was already very low, and her ears were still paying attention to the movement outside, lest someone accidentally hit her head.
In fact, this idea was just a thought that came to me for a moment.
Shi Ye, at best, means he is loyal to his duties, but at worst, he is stubborn.
Although after the incident at Daxiangguo Temple last time, Qiao Yuyan was worried about her health and told her that she did not need to follow her at home all the time, and told her to take good care of her health.
But this Shi Ye almost ignored these words. Most of the time, she was wherever Qiao Yuyan was. Even after Qiao Yuyan said it to her twice, she knew it clearly and secretly.
Often, I would suddenly turn a corner and find her waiting there, or standing next to a tree not far from her. She would stand there for more than half an hour.
Later, Qiao Yuyan stopped talking because she wouldn't listen anyway.
So suddenly today, she almost didn't see Shi Ye, and she became suspicious. At first, she was worried that she was not feeling well.
But yesterday's events immediately flashed through my mind.
After the chaos, they saw no blood when they came out of the shop. The streets had been cleaned up, but the carriage they parked in the alley smelled of blood.
She had always thought she smelled it when she went out, so she kept thinking about the smell and thought it was also present in the carriage.
Now that I think about it, maybe there is really blood in the carriage!
Thinking again that the room in the bamboo shop was obviously out of danger, Shi Ye suddenly asked to close the window.
How could Shi Ye, who always kept his own affairs to himself, suddenly consider other people and risk closing the window? Wasn't she supposed to be by his side at that time?
When the things before and after are connected together, it becomes very clear.
Qiao Yuyan's appearance at this time made Shi Ye know that he had exposed the flaw, so he did not deny it, but said in a low voice: "Don't worry, girl, I will handle it very cleanly, and I will definitely not implicate the Qiao family."
Qiao Yuyan choked, with a look of extreme dissatisfaction on her face, "If I were really afraid that you would be implicated, I would go to my father's house right now and ask someone to arrest you."
Shi Ye curled up the corners of his lips, and when he came into contact with Qiao Yuyan's sidelong glance, he quickly suppressed his smile and said, "Thank you, girl."
If he didn't live again, Qiao Yuyan would really have to go to Qiao Weisheng immediately after discovering this matter. After all, such a thing is not a trivial matter and cannot be taken carelessly.
But she had resurrected her life, and she knew Shi Ye's loyalty, so she naturally believed in Shi Ye more than the shadow guard whom she had never known before.
Qiao Yuyan stood up first, closed the door of the room, then turned back and said: "Tell me! What is going on? How do you know the person who is targeted by the shadow guard? What does he do? Why is he shadowed?
Wei wants to arrest him?"
The questions came one after another like a barrage, as if they didn't want to give the other party time to think.
Only after he finished speaking did he see the embarrassment on Shi Ye's face. Qiao Yuyan raised her eyebrows, "What? You can't trust me?"
"No!" Shi Ye immediately denied it. After thinking about it, he sat down opposite Qiao Yuyan and poured himself another cup of tea.
Qiao Yuyan was not in a hurry and just watched her drink tea.
After drinking slowly for half a cup, Shiye said, "Since the girl wants to ask, I won't hide it, but this matter is very important, girl..."
"Say it!" Qiao Yuyan raised her chin, "Say it, if I can help you, I will be doing my part for you. If you find that I can't help, then I will just keep my mouth shut.
.”
These words seemed to put Shiye's worries aside, and she gave a rare smile, "I trust the girl."
Only then did she talk about the matter, "Yesterday, I noticed him when there was some movement outside. He is my junior brother. He was only five or six years old when he started. He was the only one younger than me, so he followed me.
Practice.”
Qiao Yuyan held the tea cup and listened to her quietly.
"He is more talented than me. He started later than me, but he quickly surpassed me. He was also naughty at that time and would compete for everything. I would drag him to compete when nothing happened. He couldn't control his temper and would
He was hurt."
She pointed to the back of her neck as she spoke, "Here... there was a big cut. It scared everyone at the time and caused a lot of bleeding, so there was a long scar later, but I
This little junior brother has a good character and didn’t argue with me. On the contrary, we have become harmonious since then.”
Talking about the past, Shiye's face actually showed a gleam that she had never seen before. It can be seen that the time when she ran an escort agency at home was probably the happiest time in her life.
"Yesterday, I saw that scar at a glance. It was left by my own hands. I don't know what happened or who the people surrounding it were. However, she is my little junior brother. I have to save her.
he."
Qiao Yuyan looked at her sincere eyes, her heart softened a little, and her tone softened, "How do you know he will be able to get out of trouble?"
Shi Ye pursed his lips and smiled, "We have been together for a long time since childhood, and there are always some secret codes that outsiders don't know. I left him a way to survive. If he can't catch it, I can't do anything about it, but if he catches it, this is his fate!
"
Qiao Yuyan did not dwell on the details, but asked: "Then where will you place him now? How injured is he? And..."
She paused, "Have you ever asked him why he was rounded up by the Shadow Guards? It can't be a desperate petty thief, right?"
It is one thing to believe in picking up leaves, but it is another thing to believe in the little junior brother who picked up leaves.
Looking at the current situation, that person is most likely hiding in Qiao's house. Even though Shiye said she handled the situation very well, things should always be taken precautions.
After all, everyone in this house is her family. Even though she is willing to accompany Shi Ye on adventures, she is not willing to put her family's lives on it.
