After Shen Shu left, Luo Chengyao stayed alone in the private room for a long time, until at sunset in the evening, a person dressed as a small servant came to him, stood outside the door and knocked on the door gently, and shouted, "Childe, you should go, you can't drag it any longer." The tone of his voice was respectful mixed with a hint of imperceptible slackness.

After a while, the door opened, and Luo Chengyao walked out of it, with a faint expression on his face, not distinguishing between joy and anger, and no longer at a loss when he met Shen Shu before.

Without saying a word, he walked in front, and the little servant left after him.

Later, when the shopkeeper of the teahouse went to clean up the private room, he saw the air-dried water stains on the mahogany round table, bit by bit, just thought it was the tea that was accidentally spilled, pulled the rag on his shoulder and carefully wiped the tabletop clean, and then put on a clean tea set, and then packed up his things and went out of the private room.

Luo Chengyao just temporarily settled in Quanzhou, and after taking the little servant back to the inn to get the salute, he took the carriage out of the county seat and walked away along the official road.

――

On the way back with Liuli, Shen Shu had an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help it when he was about to reach the carriage parking, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, ...... that person just now?"

Shen Shu didn't look back and continued, "It's someone you don't know and don't have to know." You have to remember what you promised me before, and you can't reveal a word that you shouldn't say. The so-called things are only three, and they must be prioritized, if this matter is on a business trip, I may not be able to keep you. ”

She met Luo Chengyao just for the obsession of the original owner, and there will be no intersection from now on. If no one mentions it, this matter will pass without being a matter at all, and on the contrary, I don't know what waves it will make. Saying this to Liuli can be said to be a threat, but also a kind reminder, informing her of the risks of things in advance, so that she can grasp the proportions herself.

When Liuli heard this, she didn't say anything more.

When the two returned to the carriage, Sister Hui saw it from a distance, lifted the curtain of the car door and looked over, her delicate and beautiful little face frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of worry.

Shen Shu approached, and after getting into the carriage and sitting down, she saw that Sister Hui'er's face was not in line with her age, and she didn't bother to guess what she was thinking for a while, so she leaned back against the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Sister Hui thought that Shen Shu would say something, but she didn't expect her to react like this, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, and her eyes looked at Shen Shu more complicated.

The carriage slowly passed through the lively long street, walked through the lanes, and finally stopped in front of the Xie Mansion.

After the group got out of the carriage, they went straight back to the east courtyard. After entering the main room, Sister Hui suddenly opened her mouth and asked everyone to go down, and soon only she and Shen Shu were left in the room.

"Mother," she looked at Shen Shu, who was sitting on the soft couch with an indifferent expression, and asked with some trepidation, "Who is the person I met on the street today?"

Shen Shu said indifferently, "It's just an irrelevant person." ”

When Sister Hui heard this, she subconsciously retorted, "But my mother clearly knows him." ”

"Probably because there is an ambiguity in what I just said, to be precise, it is an old man who will not have anything to do with it in the future. It is not wrong to say that it is irrelevant. Shen Shu's voice was still faint.

Sister Hui was still dissatisfied with such an answer, and she continued to ask, "What did my mother say to him just now?" But in just a few words, her tone has changed from the previous apprehension to now has a faint hint of questioning.

Shen Shu raised her head to look at her, "What are you asking about this?"

Sister Hui was stunned by her cold gaze, "I ......" opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to continue.

In fact, she didn't know why she was asking like this, it was just a knee-jerk reaction. In her first life, her wish is so simple, she just hopes that the family can be well, but there are constantly variables, from the earliest incident of Brother Yan'er, to the later affairs of the Shen family and the flood, and then to today's incident, Shen Shu's reaction made the uneasiness in her heart continue to expand.

"Mother, father is not a cold person, as long as you get along for a long time, he will have you in his heart after all. In the end, she only said this sentence that seemed to be incompatible.

When Shen Shu heard this, she couldn't figure out what Sister Hui was trying to express for a while, she was euphemistically admonishing her, she was already married to Xie Changning, is it the right way to live a good life with him? Or did this sentence have no special meaning in the first place, but she was thinking too much about it?

Sister Hui saw Shen Shu's eyes lowered slightly, but did not answer, and said, "Mother, our family, me, you, father and Brother Zhen, we will live well, right?"

Shen Shu didn't nod, only vaguely responded. With Sister Hui'er, a reborn, as long as there is no change in the general direction, their family can indeed live a good life. But this does not include her, the original owner is dead, and she doesn't want to have too much to do with the Xie family.

However, these words reminded her that she couldn't continue like this, for the Xie family, Sister Hui may be a lucky star, but for her, it is an unstable bomb, I don't know when it will detonate, bringing unpredictable consequences, it is better to plan early.

I didn't know what Shen Shu was planning in her heart, but after her answer, Sister Hui'er's hanging heart was put down a little, and she smiled again, and pulled Shen Shu to talk about something else.

The days passed smoothly and quickly, and more than two months passed in a blink of an eye.

In early autumn, the plants and trees in front of the garden fade their vibrant green and gradually wither.

A few days ago, Shen Shu received a letter from Xie Changning, which briefly said something that happened over there, saying that it was just a false alarm, although the process was a little tortuous, but it had all passed, and he was ready to leave to come back.

Calculate the time, and it will be almost in two days. However, everyone waited for several days, but they didn't see Xie Changning.

Shen Shu wondered if Xie Changning had encountered something, and had the intention to inquire about the news from Sister Hui'er's side, but thinking that this incident was completely affected by the butterfly effect, it was estimated that there was no such thing in his previous life, so he gave up.

However, things turned out somewhat unexpectedly.

When Xie Changning did not come back for two days beyond the expected time limit, Sister Hui began to look at Shen Shu frequently without warning, with a complicated expression, and there was always a look of wanting to stop talking on her face.

Shen Shu guessed that Sister Hui probably knew something, but she wondered, the butterfly wings were so vigorously fanned, theoretically speaking, even if the general direction of history has not changed, time will inevitably go on a different branch, in this case, Sister Hui may know what is going to happen.

But her cousin seems to know something, is this branch line turned around and coincidentally returned to the general direction of history, or is Sister Hui actually just worried about something else? For example, if Xie Changning has an accident and can't come back, she will be widowed, so Sister Hui is worried about her? However, this option cannot come true. Again, what kind of reaction should be to worry about a person's life and death, Shen Shu is very clear about this.

On the evening of the third day when Xie Changning didn't come back for a long time, Aunt Zhou, who had been separated for a long time, suddenly had a moth, she didn't know if she had eaten something wrong and moved the fetal gas, which scared the people in the West Courtyard half to death, and hurriedly went to ask the doctor to come back.

And after this incident, Sister Hui'er's eyes looked at Shen Shu even more subtlely.

After another three days, Shen Shu felt that she was about to lose her eyes and decided to mention it euphemistically. But before she could speak, she saw the maid hurriedly come to report that Xie Changning was back.

It's finally back. Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and prepared to go out, but the next moment she felt that Sister Hui suddenly grabbed her hand, Shen Shu looked down at her, and only listened to her, "Mother...... Don't be upset......"

Shen Shu didn't know what to do. But she soon knew why Sister Hui said that.
