Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 84 Finding My Savior (1)

Cheng Ying looked at Shen Xiaoran with a puzzled expression and asked, "Where are you planning to look for her?"

Shen Xiaoran smiled slightly and replied, "That day he told me he was from the capital, but he didn't mention a word about his identity. So I don't know which family's young master he is."

He Mingxuan said with a grin, "So, cousin, if you find him, how do you plan to thank him?"

Shen Xiaoran hesitated for a moment, then answered firmly, "I will repay him properly."

Cheng Ying winked mischievously and teased, "Xiao Ran, you're not thinking of offering yourself to me, are you?"

Shen Xiaoran blushed immediately and said shyly, "Yes, I've had this thought ever since he rescued me."

He Mingxuan said worriedly, "But cousin, you don't know who he is at all, not even where he lives or what he does. If he's just an ordinary guard or servant, would you still be willing to marry him?"

Shen Xiaoran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and she slowly said, "Of course, I want to marry him not because of his status, but because of him as a person. So no matter what his status is, I will marry him as long as he is willing."

Qin Yaoyao frowned and asked with some worry, "What if he's some kind of heinous villain? Would you still marry him?"

Shen Xiaoran shook her head without hesitation and answered firmly, "Impossible."

Cheng Ying raised an eyebrow and pressed, "What do you mean it's impossible? Is it that you could never marry him or that he couldn't possibly be a bad person?"

Shen Xiaoran smiled and explained earnestly, "He can't be a bad person. If he were, why would he save me?"

He Mingxuan frowned and questioned, "What if he has some ulterior motive?"

Shen Xiaoran shook her head again and said firmly, "Impossible. He didn't even tell me who he was, and the reward my grandmother offered was very tempting, but he didn't agree to it. How could he have any other purpose?"

Qin Yaoyao nodded, seemingly accepting this explanation, and then asked curiously, "So you went back to the capital this time to find your savior?"

Shen Xiaoran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and she replied softly, "Well, not entirely. Actually, my grandmother had planned to come back this year, but the specific time was set for September. However, when she learned that the person who saved me was from the capital, she decided to come back earlier."

Qin Yaoyao looked at Shen Xiaoran curiously and asked, "So you went to see Zefei yesterday, did you two already know each other?"

Shen Xiaoran shook her head and explained, "I don't know him. I just happened to hear him talking to you yesterday afternoon and his voice sounded familiar. But I wasn't completely sure at the time. It wasn't until later, when he was talking to Yao Yao, that I was sure."

He Mingxuan opened her mouth wide in surprise and said in disbelief, "So, the person who saved you was actually Yao Yao's nephew, Qin Zefei!"

Shen Xiaoran nodded in agreement. She recalled the moment she first met Qin Zefei, and a warm feeling welled up inside her.

Cheng Ying frowned and asked doubtfully, "But there are many people with similar voices, and quite a few with similar eyes. Xiao Ran, isn't it too hasty to conclude that it's him based on just these two points? What if he's a fraudster trying to deceive you?"

Qin Yaoyao quickly waved her hand, defending Qin Zefei, saying, "It's impossible. Zefei would never do such a thing. Every son of the Shen family is upright, honest, and trustworthy. If he really did it, he would admit it; but if he didn't do it, he would never impersonate someone else."

Shen Xiaoran smiled and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Don't worry, I trust my judgment. I can feel a special aura about him that makes me feel at ease and trusting. Moreover, his eyes reveal a sincerity and kindness that cannot be faked."

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing Shen Xiaoran's words. Perhaps, sometimes the connection between people is just that wondrous; even without many clues, they can find each other. As for Qin Zefei, his act of kindness not only saved a life but also earned him a rare friendship.

Cheng Ying nodded and continued, "By the way, since he is Yao Yao's nephew, he must be trustworthy and have no bad intentions. He saved you for no other purpose."

Shen Xiaoran felt much more at ease after hearing this, and she nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

At this moment, Qin Yaoyao suddenly remembered something and said, "Zefei did go to Hangzhou last summer, it seems he was there for two or three months! My cousin asked him to go."
