Xie Changning actually ...... Dead?

This made Shen Shu feel a little unbelievable. Although she hates Xie Changning, this is just her personal subjective opinion, in fact, his behavior is normal in this era, and no matter what, he is far from damning.

When there was an attack by homeless people in the canyon before, Shen Shu guessed that someone wanted Xie Changning to die, although the process was a little tortuous, but he survived in the end. Shen Shu thought that after experiencing this incident, he should be extra vigilant, and it would be difficult for the people behind the scenes to achieve their goals.

However, it was only half a month later, and the accident happened again. Although Sister Hui did not directly say that Xie Changning was dead, judging from her description, being pierced through the chest with a sharp blade, even if it did not directly hurt the heart, the situation at that time was too late to send to the hospital, and it was basically equivalent to being sentenced to death. To put it more intuitively, if he hadn't died, how dare Aunt Zhou push the two children off the boat?

Shen Shu looked at the two children who were crying and sleeping beside her, and her mood was unprecedentedly complicated.

Aunt Zhou dared to push people off the boat, because she was sure that they would definitely not survive after falling into the water. If Sister Hui and Brother Zhen go back, it's good to be able to identify Aunt Zhou, but if not, she will face the situation of being targeted by a poisonous snake and ready to bite at any time. Without the protection of Xie Changning's big tree, the mansion is deceitful, and there may be more than one Aunt Zhou who wants to deal with their sister and brother, how can they cope with it?

Shen Shu thought about it, and suddenly felt someone tugging at her sleeve, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that it was Cui Yijing, and he had worry on his face, "Sister, brother, cry." ”

After getting along for a long time, even if he didn't say something very clearly, Shen Shu could roughly guess what it meant. When he asked this now, he probably wanted to ask why Sister Hui and Brother Zhen were crying.

Shen Shu couldn't explain to him that they were sad because Xie Changning was dead, because he didn't understand what death was, Yu Yanqiu had been gone for three years, and now when he mentioned this person, he couldn't remember it clearly, so he could only simply say that it was because his father didn't want them anymore, and they were sad, so they cried.

Cui Yijing seemed to understand, and suddenly grabbed Shen Shu's hand tightly, and said nervously, "I'm good, my mother won't leave!"

Shen Shu touched his head, "I won't want you, no matter what." ”

At noon, the boat stopped at the dock in Wutong County, Jiangzhou Prefecture. It was Shen Shu's request, because she didn't know what Sister Hui'er had planned, so she shouldn't go too far.

After yesterday's heavy rain, the bright sun sprinkled the earth again, shining on people and only feeling warm, and the breeze on the river was blowing in the face.

The two children almost woke up in the afternoon, and they wanted to find Shen Shu as soon as they woke up. She was sitting in the cabin with Cui Yijing at that time, both leaning against the window, the curtains rolled up a corner, and through that place you could see the outside scene.

The people on the dock are not lively, and the sound of chatting and laughing and bargaining can be heard from afar.

"Mother!" Brother Zhen woke up first, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't find Shen Shu in the house, so he got up in a panic and ran out, and he didn't care about putting on his shoes and socks. He staggered a little, and suddenly threw himself into Shen Shu's arms, his hand tightly wrapped around her waist, as if he couldn't catch it again once he relaxed.

Although he didn't cry, Shen Shu could feel the hot tears soaking through the light clothes in the summer, leaving a burning sensation on his skin. She patted him gently on the back and comforted, "Brother Zhen, don't be afraid, it's all over." "Yes, it's all gone, but I don't see the way forward.

Cui Yijing, who was on the side, learned from her, and also reached out to pat Brother Zhen'er on the back, and said awkwardly, "Brother, don't cry." ”

Not long after that, Sister Hui also woke up, and after coming out of the door, she didn't go to Shen Shu's side, but stood by the door, holding the door frame with one hand, and quietly looked at the window.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Shu inadvertently looked up and saw her, was stunned, and said, "When did Sister Hui wake up, why didn't she stand there?"

Sister Hui looked at her for a moment, then lowered her eyes and replied, "Just woke up." As he spoke, he slowly walked over and sat down next to him. Compared to yesterday's sadness, she seemed too calm today, lowering her eyebrows and eyes, and not speaking, so that people couldn't guess what she was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Shen Shu asked, "What are your plans in the future?"

Sister Hui raised her head when she heard this, it was an inquiring look, she didn't answer and asked, "Why is Mother here?" Someone said before that they saw that the carriage you and Brother Jing were riding in fell into the cliff with their own eyes. ”

When she saw their sister and brother, Shen Shu knew that she must face this problem, and she thought about the answer to the question for a long time, but before answering, she was more concerned with the information revealed by Sister Hui'er, "You said someone saw it, who is it?"

"Yue Dong Hai, his companions call him Yue Dong Hai. Sister Hui'er's eyes suddenly sharpened when she looked at Shen Shu, "Does Mother know this person?"

This answer was expected by Shen Shu, but the surprise in her heart did not decrease because of this, and even turned up the doubts that had not been solved before.

Why would Yue Donghai help her, or why would he know what she was thinking and be willing to help her? Thinking of these questions, Shen Shu naturally remembered the conjecture that she had denied because it was too outrageous.

Shen Shu thought about it for a while, and soon Sister Hui'er's voice pulled back to reality, "Mother, you know Yue Donghai, right." The words of doubt came out of her mouth, but they were affirmative.

"It's not an acquaintance, I've never seen it before. Shen Shu shook her head.

When Sister Hui heard this, she suddenly laughed, "Does my mother think I will believe it? If you really don't know, how can he hide the news of your rescue and say that you are dead? Of course, this is not absolutely impossible, but a person who doesn't know at all suddenly did such a thing, no matter how you think about it, it can only be driven by profits, as for who instructed him, what does my mother think?"

These words are completely questioning.

Sister Hui would have such a guess, in fact, it is reasonable, Shen Shu understood this, so she didn't get angry, "So what do you want to say?"

Sister Hui didn't answer, and continued to ask, "Mother knows that I have found someone with my father, and I have been looking for you and Brother Jing at the bottom of the cliff for a few days?"

Shen Shu nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then why didn't you show up? Do you know how sad I am with Brother Zhen? Brother Zhen thought you were dead, and cried several times and passed out, and I, day and night, were tormented by guilt and remorse, because I felt that I had hurt you. Sister Hui looked at Shen Shu's eyes, full of anger, "You're obviously fine, you know we're looking for you, but you can't hide, why are you doing this?"

"Mother, do you know how to write the word "woman's way?" she questioned Shen Shu, but without waiting for her to answer, she mocked, "If it weren't for looking for you, we could have set off earlier, maybe we wouldn't have met those guys, and my father wouldn't have died." Mother, it's all because of you, and my father is dead, you know? Are you worthy of him like that?"

Shen Shu calmly looked at the excited Sister Hui'er, "You think I don't abide by women's morals, and I think I killed your father, right?"

Sister Hui'er looked resentful, "Isn't it? Otherwise, why would you fake your death and escape? If it weren't for the delay in finding you, my father wouldn't have died!"

When Shen Shu heard this, she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, "I don't know what your definition of guarding women's ways is, I have neither any intimate or ambiguous behavior with men other than my father, nor have I have feelings for any man beyond friends, I have a clear conscience, I just don't want to get along with him anymore." ”

"Your father once promised me two conditions, as long as he can be the master, do not touch the law and do not violate human ethics, he will promise me, and before leaving Quanzhou, I wrote a letter of departure and asked him to sign and draw a pledge, but he refused to fulfill his promise, suing me, I was born as a member of the Xie family, and I can only be a ghost of the Xie family when I die. ”

"And you say that your father died because of it, but that's just your subjective opinion. In fact, it can be seen from the attack of the displaced people that someone wanted his life, although he failed to succeed at the time, but it is clear that the mastermind behind it did not give up, otherwise there would be no follow-up. It's going to happen, sooner or later, so even if you don't miss out on your trip, those people will show up. I am not to blame for your father's death. ”

Shen Shu thinks that she has said it very clearly, but unfortunately Sister Hui'er's concept is fundamentally different from her, "Father, he treats you well, but you want to reconcile with him, so where do you put his dignity?"

Hearing this, Shen Shu knew that she and Sister Hui couldn't tell each other, so she didn't refute anymore and asked directly, "So, what do you want?"

Sister Hui saw that Shen Shu did not argue, and she couldn't see half of her anger on her face, and she didn't even care at all, so she already decided that she was acquiescing, and the resentment in her heart grew, "Father, he died, you know it, but you are not sad at all, mother, you have no conscience." ”

"I was the wrong person, and I am now. ”

Shen Shu replied, "Sister Hui, your father and I are just a stranger with a marital relationship, I will feel sorry for the death of a stranger, but I will not feel sorry for him." Someone dies every moment of every day in this world, and you're still laughing when you should. You see you're the same, aren't you?"
