"Why did you throw it away?" Ah Chen looked at Liu Shihua suspiciously.

Liu Shihua looked at the calm river surface, smiled faintly, looking very relieved, as if this had nothing to do with her, "I don't want anything that has been soiled by others." ”

"I heard that this is a relic left by your mother, isn't it important to you?" He never expected that this seemingly weak woman would be so resolute.

Liu Shihua was stunned, and looked back at Ah Chen, although this matter was not a secret, but Ah Chen, as an outsider, knew about it, and had to surprise Liu Shihua.

"How do you know?"

Ah Chen raised his eyebrows proudly, "Sue me in early summer." ”

Liu Shihua muttered in a low voice, "Alas! In early summer, this girl is simple, can she be in Liu Daimeng's dream, how can she be so open-mouthed. ”

"Chu Xia thought I was your friend, so he begged me to come and persuade you, for fear that you would be too sad." Chen's tone was soft, as if he was comforting.

Liu Shihua smiled bitterly, "Persuade me? She's got the right person, the huge governor's mansion, and I'm afraid no one can leave me defenseless except you. ”

"I didn't expect that the second lady of the dignified Liu family lived so wronged." Ah Chen sighed, but simply sighed, and there was no sympathy in his tone, because Liu Shihua seemed to be too powerful to need any sympathy.

"Maybe I shouldn't have belonged here." Liu Shihua replied nonchalantly. This is also the question she has been thinking about, whether she should belong to this deep courtyard, obviously from a low background, why did God arrange for her to live in this high-ranking family. Liu Wanqing was ruthless back then, why wasn't he ruthless to the end, and once he left, he never appeared again. Liu Shihua imagined that if he had never returned to Liu's house, but had been living in the red boat, would his life be better? However, life has no ifs, and since a qiē has happened, she can only bear these pleasant and unpleasant on her own.

Liu Shihua paused and continued, "That step shake is indeed a relic of my mother, and it is said that my father fell in love with my mother at first sight because of this step shake. Later, Bai heard that his father liked this step, so he created an identical one according to the appearance. Dad misses his mother, and seeing Bai's Dai this step shake evokes many memories of my father, and he loves Bai even more. But my father didn't know that at that time, he already had an extra daughter in this world. It wasn't until later that my father found my mother and took her back to the Liu family, but the Bai family couldn't tolerate me, so I had to live in exile until my mother died, and my father's conscience found out and he was willing to take me home. This step shake was entrusted to me by my mother before her death, and it can be regarded as a thought. But what's the use of seeing things and thinking about people? I haven't even seen my mother's appearance, just shaking one step at a time, how can I relieve the pain of missing as a daughter. Bai Shi has always felt that his mother used this step to hook his father, and he has not been able to swallow this breath all these years, and he has tried his best to destroy it, but I always feel that I have to protect my mother's things. Now that I think about it, I am really naïve, just something outside my body, what's the use of keeping it? As you said, if you don't know your ancestors, you don't need to know your surname. Since I haven't seen my mother's appearance, why should I cling to one thing? ”

Ah Chen listened quietly on the side, Liu Shihua's words were not resentful, there was no unwillingness, but a kind of open-mindedness.

"If you can attract the governor of the past, your mother must be as beautiful as you. But if the Governor is sincere to her, why did he abandon her and abandon you? Ah Chen asked seemingly casually.

Regarding Liu Shihua, everyone only knows that she is a concubine, as for who her mother is, few people know, after all, it is not a glorious thing for a court official to collude with a dusty woman, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and outsiders naturally do not know. However, Ah Chen was very curious about Liu Shihua's life experience. Why would an official lady have a connection with the land of fireworks like Yanyu Qinhuai, and more importantly, why did Qingfeng Lou come here, and why did Silan Jue come to the rescue. Ah Chen concluded that Liu Shihua had a lot to do with a big secret he was investigating.

I don't know if it's because of the fact that you will become tired if you defend others for too long, in front of Ah Chen, Liu Shihua completely lost her sense of precaution, she only regarded him as a friend who could confide in her heart, "Mother is a dusty woman, with a lowly status, how can she be able to compete with the noble Bai family." ”

"Haven't you seen her?" Ah Chen asked again.

Liu Shihua shook her head, "I haven't seen it, she disappeared after giving birth to me, and threw me on the red boat to entrust Aunt Mei to raise, the first time I heard the news of her was her death." ”

Looking at Liu Shihua's sad affection, Ah Chen regretted it a little, this question evoked Liu Shihua's sadness.

"You must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, right?" Ah Chen's eyes were full of tenderness and looked at Liu Shihua, Liu Shihua's face was flushed when he was seen, and he hurriedly avoided Ah Chen's eyes.

"It's good to get used to it. And, I'll protect myself. Liu Shihua replied lightly, and then changed the conversation, "Okay, don't talk about it, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold, go back to the house and rest." ”

"Let me stay and protect you." Ah Chen stood in front of Liu Shi's picture and blocked her way.

"What did you say?" There was a trace of astonishment in her beautiful eyes, Liu Shihua thought that she had heard it wrong, and suddenly a man stood in front of her and said that he wanted to protect her, which caught her off guard.

Realizing that there was some ambiguity in his words, Ah Chen quickly explained, "Oh no, I mean to let me stay and be your retinue, just as if you saved me again. ”

Liu Shihua was stunned, and the more she listened, the more inexplicable she felt.

"Followers?"

"Yes." Ah Chen nodded, it seemed that he had a lot of unspeakable secrets, "Miss Liu, don't hide it, I am highly poisonous, not because I offended anyone." This poison was given by the son of Jiyue. ”

"What? Ji Yue Gongzi? Aren't you friends? ”

Ah Chen shook his head, "How can I have such a noble friend as Prince Jiyue." I'm just one of his subordinates, and he made me take poison just to lure the girl to save me, to get me close to you, and to take the opportunity to stay with you. ”

"This ......" Liu Shihua never expected that this was a bureau set up by Jiyue Gongzi, she became more and more unable to figure out what was going on with this qiē, "This Jiyue Gongzi is too much, right?" What if I don't save you? What if I don't keep you? In order to get close to me, he did not hesitate to use such cruel means as poisoning? ”

Ah Chen smiled bitterly, "If the girl doesn't save me, I won't be able to complete the task, and I deserve to die of poison, if I can't stay with the girl, I can only apologize for death when I go back." So please help the girl, the master has no malice, it's just because the last time Qingfeng Lou attacked, the master couldn't rest assured of the girl's safety, so he sent his subordinates to observe the movements of Qingfeng Lou and protect the girl by the way. ”
