Chapter 109: Searching for Memory
Shen Chonglou's father and son glanced at each other, and then they both showed slightly embarrassed expressions, obviously guessed correctly by Shen Lu.
In fact, Shen Lu had been wondering just now, the tone and expression of the two father and son had been changing, as if they couldn't let Shen Lu be too stimulated, and they had to make Shen Lu feel guilty through their words. Through this incident that happened before, Shen Lu was forced into a position where he could not get out, so that it would be difficult for Shen Lu to refuse their request.
Shen Lu didn't think that what they had just done was fake, because as long as they asked someone casually, such as Qu Xuanzong, they could know what happened back then.
But the purpose of Shen Chonglou's father and son's lawsuit is very clear: you Shen Lu cheated the Shen family back then, and now you have to do something to make up for it.
Seeing that Shen Lu stabbed the window paper, Shen Chonglou no longer played with words, but said very directly: "Since the words have come to this point, then you might as well open it." What was discussed back then was that you would complete the marriage contract with Suzaku Ridge after the age of sixteen. Although you refused at that time, the people in Vermilion Bird Ridge also saw that your child's temper was in a temper and did not completely tear up the skin with our Shen family. So there is still a chance to make up for the losses you caused back then. β
Shen Zhenyuan also said to Shen Lu: "We know that you have a marriage contract. You don't even need to marry someone from the Vermilion Ridge side. All they need is to provide a woman, and then you ...... It's like having a lover outside. You don't have to be known by anyone else, including your current fiancΓ©e. β
After Shen Lu listened, he was silent for a long time, thinking about the stakes of this matter.
After a long time, he raised his head and said to Shen Chonglou: "Uncle Gong, I feel that you have done for the revitalization of the Shen family, and it is indeed difficult for you to be so eloquent for my generation." What happened back then was indeed my fault, I will find a way to make up for it, and I will help the Shen family revitalize. But I can't agree to this. β
The heavy floor sank like water, and there were no words.
Shen Zhenyuan couldn't help but ask, "Why? It's just to find you a woman, and I don't ask you to do anything else, what's not satisfying about you?"
"Because I refused six years ago!" Shen Lu said, pointing to his head and saying, "I don't know what is wrong with my brain, I forgot my previous experience." But since it was my own decision, I would stick to it. Since I refused back then, I must have my own reasons, and it will never be an abrupt change of mind. If I really gave up this marriage because of other girls back then, it would prove that I really loved that girl, and it could never be just a child's momentary words. β
"You, why are you so stubborn!" Shen Zhenyuan said with great annoyance: "The people over there in Vermilion Bird Ridge must be the noble bloodline of Nanshan. Such a noble and bloodline woman is born with the appearance of a country and a city, and ordinary people may be fascinated just by looking at it. Now I didn't let you be responsible, and I didn't let you betray your original marriage contract. It's just to drop the pie and let you pick it up and eat a few bites, but you don't want to? Hehe, are you really unwilling, or simply don't want to help our Shen family!"
Shen Chonglou interrupted Shen Zhenyuan and said, "Zhenyuan, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
Shen Zhen was not vigorous, so he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Shen Lu and Shen Chonglou in the house.
Shen Chonglou sighed and said to Shen Lu: "Zhen Yuan thinks about things too simply, and he is easy to be impulsive, don't blame him for being open-mouthed." You don't have to be in a hurry to refuse this matter, the person who Vermilion Bird Ridge is going to send is also going to study in the Ancient Saint Academy. She will stay in the Ancient Holy Kingdom for three years, and as long as you change your mind during these three semesters, this plan can continue to enter the school."
"This ......" Shen Lu wanted to refuse directly, but seeing Old Lady Shen's exhausted look, it seemed that the Shen family really continued to help.
In fact, Shen Lu is not a deep love, and he has never made any vows such as marrying only one or being loyal.
He will definitely marry Xu Wenrui, because this is a marriage contract between his fathers, and Xu Wenrui has long regarded herself as an indispensable person in his life, and he can't be sorry for her no matter what.
But Shen Lu does not have such a deep love for Xu Wenrui, and he himself knows very well that he will inevitably meet the woman he loves in the future, and he has a high probability of becoming the so-called 'scumbag'.
But even so, Shen Lu didn't want to be the kind of person who saw one and loved another, and even treated other women for ridiculous reasons such as inheriting the bloodline.
Even if the woman of Vermilion Bird Ridge is really good-looking, and even she may fall in love with her in the future, she will never cultivate the bloodline with her because of this, and then give her own son to Vermilion Bird Ridge.
Therefore, this so-called plan has no possibility of implementation in front of Shen Lu.
He wanted to speak clearly, but after seeing Old Lady Shen's appearance, he didn't want to stimulate him too much.
So he said, "Well, I promise you that you will consider this matter in three years." And in these three years, I will also do my best to revitalize the Shen family. If I can really make the Shen family the head of the four major families at that time, or even stronger, I hope that the eldest uncle will be able to stand up and refuse the marriage contract with Vermilion Bird Ridge for me at that time. β
"It's a deal. β
......
That night, Shen Lu stayed at Shen's house.
Shen Lu's yard originally belonged to his father Shen Xuanyuan. As a direct bloodline, Shen Xuanyuan's courtyard is also one of the Shen family's several main courtyards, so the scale is much larger than the other side courtyards.
Just belonging to the separate courtyard of Shen Lu, there are three entrances and dozens of houses.
It's just that the place where he lives is big, but it makes Shen Lu feel untouched.
As he was worried before, he had no belonging to the Shen family, and now although he lives in the Shen family, he does not have a trace of warmth.
Now Shen Lu is sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
Coincidentally, this color is gloomy, without stars and moons, just like his mood, lifeless.
"What happened six years ago! I must find out!" Shen Lu was depressed for a long time, and finally had something he wanted to do.
Shen Lu first summoned a wine clone and hid it in the flowers on the side, responsible for protecting the Dharma for the body. In case Shen Lu was disturbed in the process of recovering his memory, this wine clone, as well as Ah Yun, who was lying on the side and falling asleep, could buy some time for the body.
After all, this is the Shen family, and it is not a particularly safe place!
Shen Lu then took out the Hundred Refining Silver Needle, and after calculating the position, he pierced it on his head.
Among the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear and fear, although 'thinking' represents longing, it also represents memory. In particular, every impressive memory must be remembered by the brain after being missed.
So after Shen Lu gradually adjusted this longing, the impressive memories appeared in front of him as if they were reappearing.
How he fought Wu Yongdong in blood, how to recapture Snowy City, how to come back from the dead and get the system, this experience has been relived in my mind.
The deep memory gradually came to six years ago, and some long-forgotten images appeared in Zheng's mind
These are not complete pictures, but fragments of memories.
There is a picture of himself: ten-year-old himself, living in the Shen family. The ignorant self looked at the appearance of the rest of the Shen family talking around him, and he looked out of place. And these Shen family members have never looked at Shen Lu directly, and no one is willing to treat him as a relative.
This feels very familiar to Shen Lu, because it is like a pull that happened today
Whether it is Shen Chonglou or Shen Zhenyuan, whether it is good or malicious to Shen Lu, it is just out of interest considerations. In their psychology, they may never feel that Shen Lu is a member of the family, just a chess piece that can help the Shen family rise.
It was now, and it was six years ago.
I saw through all this six years ago, but I didn't expect that I forgot this memory, and it was ironic that I would have to experience the indifference of the Shen family again six years later.
Shen Lu in the 'picture' is lonely, unable to resist and has no one to rely on, so the requirements made to these elders of the Shen family can only be satisfied, because he has no right to resist.
The so-called Shen Lu in Shen Chonglou's mouth had agreed to this, and it was completely a group of adults who asked Shen Lu to do it in a forced tone.
What is this kind of promise called?
Shen Lu, who recalled this picture, had a low opinion of the Shen family.
However, since he promised to help Shen Chonglou revitalize the Shen family, Shen Lu would not go back on his word. This can be regarded as the last thing he did before he completely severed his relationship with the Shen family.
When the Shen family became the most powerful family in Jade Emperor City, it was the day when Shen Lu completely broke with the Shen family.
After figuring this out, Shen Lu's mood was much better.
Then he began to look through other memories.
Another scene appeared, and it was a deserted country.
After being bullied by a group of children of the same age, his body was covered in blood, and he had no choice but to wash the dirt on his face by the river.
Although his nose was blue and his face was swollen after being beaten, Shen Lu still looked indifferent and indifferent, as if he had already been bullied.
At this time, a girl who was slightly older than him walked up to him and asked softly, "Doesn't it hurt?"
"It hurts. β
"Then why didn't you cry?"
"It's just painful, why are you crying?" Shen Lu said as a matter of course.
The girl said with some admiration: "You are so amazing." If I were beaten on the ground like this, I would have cried a lot. β
Shen Lu sighed and said, "If you can escape other things if you are beaten every time, then I would rather be beaten." There are too many things in this world that hurt more than being beaten. β
The girl didn't seem to understand, and she didn't understand why Shen Lu was so distressed.
But she seemed to want to make Shen Lu happy, so she said, "No." If someone is beaten like this, his face will definitely be swollen into a pig's head, just like you are now. β
"Who is swollen into a pig's head, I don't have Sakura"
Shen Lu, as if to prove it, wiped his face, and then turned his head to let the girl see.
As a result, this glance made both of them stunned.
