readx;? The day after Lao Shi resumed her free movement, she personally delivered several jars of wine and kimchi early in the morning, and even in the face of Xiao Shunzi's wary and hostile gaze, she still asked with a smile if I wanted to invite her into the house to sit down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The wine and kimchi sent this time are not poisoned, can you dare to try it?" said Lao Shi with a chuckle, his tone playful and provocative.

The old man had already lost his disguise in front of me, and there was no need to be as deferential and low-key as before, after all, the conversation had been so thorough that day, and it would only seem ridiculous to disguise it again.

"Why wouldn't you dare? I said, I never thought you would really want to kill me. I hooked my lips and replied lightly.

"It used to be, but not necessarily now, after all, you know so much that I have a reason to get rid of you. Lao replied disappreciatively.

"Then I should thank you for telling me in advance, so that I can have a guard in the future, after all, now that the comfortable days in the house are too long, people will become lazy. "The same half-truths and half-truths of the old family are dealt with.

"Aren't you curious about what my family said to the prince that would release me so easily?"

"I'm not curious, firstly, I can guess a rough idea, and secondly, as you said, it may not be a good thing for me to meddle in too many court affairs as a woman. The fourth master has the plan of the fourth master, anyway, in the end, whether it is good or bad, life or death, I am destined to accompany him to the end. So think about it this way, as long as you can live the present, it doesn't matter if you win or lose in the future. When he said these words, the smile on his face became soft and indifferent, he was really tired, and since the general direction had been put on the right track, he was unwilling to involve himself in meaningless disputes anymore.

"Actually, I've been watching you coldly over the years, but now that Nian is pregnant, with her family background and identity, it is likely to become the biggest stumbling block to all your plans, aren't you going to do something?"

"You're just going to start tossing again?" I scoffed, glaring at her.

Lao Shi silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but did not answer, as if there was a default meaning in it.

"Stop, Nian and this child can't afford to lose, you don't have to provoke the relationship between me and her, I have never regarded her as an opponent, after all, her existence will only be a help to the fourth master, and there is no conflict with my ultimate goal. So I won't allow anyone to do anything to her. In the face of the silence of a paranoid patient like Lao's, he unconsciously became alert, and warned coldly without the slightest concealment.

Lao Shi took a deep breath, put down the teacup, the smile on his face was not there, and he responded coldly: "Why do you think she needs your protection, and why do you think you can protect her." She's just a stepping stone to all your schemes, not much nobler than me. ”

"I didn't plan to protect anyone, I just didn't want anyone to ruin my plans. You're right, she's really just a stepping stone, but it's not just mine, it's the fourth master's, and indirectly it's yours. Don't you want to leave this place that suffocates you and live the life you like with your beloved?"

When Lao Shi heard this, he was obviously stunned, squinted at me for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Do you have a way to let me go?"

Hearing Lao Shi's question, I knew that she had taken the bait, and I didn't give her the answer she wanted, so I just said lightly: "The Nian family is very important to the fourth master, and it is very important to Prince Yong's mansion, if the fourth master fails this time, we will not end well." But as long as the fourth master can ascend to that position, we have a future worth looking forward to. As for what you expect, there may not be no room for negotiation, after all, you have a smart adoptive father who really loves you, he has already made his position and attitude clear when he sent someone to the palace at this time, and you are not the real concubine of the fourth master, just hanging a name, and when that time comes, who will care about our humble concubine, maybe you can ask your people for a grace, in short, as long as people live, there will always be hope for the future. ”

"That's how you invite people to buy people's hearts?" Seeing that I didn't give a clear answer for a long time, Lao Shi mocked in disappointment and continued: "Anyone who sits in that position will become an invincible existence, and will never allow anyone to leave his control, even if it is just a decoration in the name, he will not let go easily. What's more, as you said, I have an adoptive father who really despises me, and with such involvement, in order to maintain the stability of the western Yunnan tribe, he will definitely not let me go easily. ”

"You're right, but there are always exceptions to everything, not to mention that many things are gains and losses, if at that time, if you want to regain the desired family and love, you must give up something, but no matter what you need to give up, the premise is that you must have life and time to wait for the opportunity to complete. If you think you are in a desperate situation now, and you have to use extreme means to destroy everything, then all the opportunities you could have will be far away from you, and not only will you die at that time, but your father, lover, and clansmen who are on the side of the fourth master for the development of you and the clan may be trapped in a catastrophe because of your impulse. Now you are not the same person who came to the capital alone to be a tribute maid before, there are already those people you care about standing behind you, for those people, do you still have to stubbornly do the wrong thing?"

I don't know how much my words will have a effect on Lao Shi, Lao Shi fell into deep thought, and then said: "What you said may be right, but I need to think about it, after all, what you said is like an illusion that appears out of thin air, you can see it, but you can't touch it." I have to say, you are a powerful character, you can always easily grasp the weakest part of the human heart, if I don't have my own obsession, maybe I can become the best friend with you. ”

After saying this, the old man left the house without any further stops. didn't look at the back of the old clan's departure, picked up the tea cup on the table and savored the bitterness and sweetness of the tea, and seriously thought about whether to tell the identity of the old clan to the Ulanala clan or Yinzhen, and completely remove this time bomb, but then thought of the purpose and significance of the old clan's visit, or put this idea aside for the time being, after all, Yinzhen needs allies rather than enemies at this time. As for whether the old clan will do anything to himself and the Nian clan, this can only be guarded against for the time being, after all, today's words may not be completely useless. To be continued.
