Chapter 14: A Brief Encounter
After a slight salute to Luo Liuxi, Shu Xin quietly greeted her.
Luo Liuxi left the maid outside the courtyard, and slowly walked into the courtyard alone, standing comfortably in place and not moving, watching her approach, watching her walk past him and into the room.
Shu Xin lowered his eyes, searching for Yuan Shuxin's memories of Luo Liuxi, guessing what kind of psychology Luo Liuxi acted out of.
After Luo Liuxi entered the room, she glanced at the comfortable room, this was the first time she entered the comfortable room, but she was no stranger, she naturally sat down at the round table, raised her eyes to Shu Xin who was standing at the door, and said coldly: "Why are you standing at the door stunned?" Still not coming in yet? â
Shu Xin lowered his head, walked into the room with Qiu'er's support, stopped five steps in front of Luo Liuxi, and was silent, waiting for Luo Liuxi to speak.
"Sit down!" Luo Liu lifted his chin like a grace towards Shu Xin.
Shu Xin raised her eyes with the same nervousness and caution as when she faced Luo Liuxi, she did not sit at the round table with Luo Liuxi, but sat in front of the dresser.
Shu Xin glanced at Luo Liuxi from the mirror, Luo Liuxi looked sideways to the mirror, his face lines were smooth and beautiful, slightly cool, and a delicate orchid-inlaid ruby hollow silver hairpin was inserted in the bun, and the red gemstone was shining red in the candlelight, which made Shu Xin feel a little dazzling.
"The eldest lady works hard to make Wang Ju love you, and strives to make you stand out from hundreds of young ladies of the family, the Wang family has promised the Shu family a lot of benefits, especially after marrying Shu Yue Shu Huan." Luo Liuxi looked straight at the door, didn't know what to think, and said lightly.
Shu Xin remembered that in the memory of Yuan Shuxin, she was unwilling to marry the Wang family, and the only time she went to ask Luo Liuxi was that she was indifferent and said something like this to Shu Xin: "Marry obediently, it is not in vain that the Shu family has raised you for so many years, the Shu family has raised you, you should always do something for the Shu family." â
Shu Xin couldn't guess what Luo Liuxi was going to say to her, so he just lowered his eyes and listened quietly.
"The eldest lady tried her best to hide your illness, but the news still leaked to the Wang family." Luo Liuxi turned her head, glanced at Qiu'er, and then looked at Shu Xin, her eyes were slightly sharp: "I never knew that you could do such a thing when you have always been timid and cowardly?" â
Shu Xin raised his eyes to meet Luo Liuxi, the eyes of the two collided in the air, there was no spark but it was very intense, the water light in Shu Xin's eyes was slightly condensed, and then quickly opened, bringing out pure doubts and soft asking: "What does my mother mean?" â
"Humph!" Luo Liuxi sneered, her eyes condensed slightly: "I didn't know that you actually had such a scheming." â
"Scheming?" Shu Xin was a little funny, and if he couldn't hold back the laughter, the mockery at the corners of his mouth deepened.
Luo Liuxi frowned slightly, she hated comfort, it had nothing to do with whether she was a man or a woman, because this child brought her infinite panic, she didn't want this child, but she had to, she concealed the deepest secrets in her heart and unspeakable pain, and even the most terrifying nightmare.
In the past, she was soft, cowardly, introverted, and silent, which was what she hated the most, but it was precisely because of this that she was a very easy to control child.
When those things disappeared, she had an inexplicable panic in her heart, and this feeling turned into anger, Luo Liuxi looked at the comfortable eyes and became sharp: "You are my daughter, there are some things, others don't know, it doesn't mean that I won't know, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, your goal has been achieved, but, have you ever thought about the consequences of you doing this?" â
Shu Xin looked at Luo Liuxi's sharp eyes without fear, with obvious inquiry, and then sighed faintly, and said softly with a hint of helplessness and pain: "And then? Mother came tonight to question her daughter? Or is it for what? â
"You!" Luo Liuxi looked at Shu Xin's face and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and she didn't know what to say about Shu Xin for a while, or blame or ridicule, it seemed that it was useless for Shu Xin now.
This made her feel a little powerless in her heart, she used to be able to see her through lightly, but when did it start that this child she didn't care about at all became so strange?
"Mother......" Shu Xin called softly, without a trace of emotion, and said softly: "The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, since you can't rely on others, then the daughter can only rely on herself." â
Luo Liuxi's heart "chuckled", and her comfortable tone did not have a trace of accusation or expectation, nor did she have the pity of Chu Chu who had always been in zĂ i, but she said the irrefutable facts so lightly, but it made Luo Liuxi feel guilty and pity for her, and she was speechless for a while.
"It turns out that my mother is not afraid of the infection of the disease!" Shu Xin smiled lightly: "Will the mother go and tell the eldest lady, or the father?" â
That's an acknowledgement! Luo Liuxi couldn't tell what kind of feeling was in her heart now, she collected the sharpness in her eyes and left a calm coldness, stood up and looked down at Shu Xin: "You can do it yourself!" â
After speaking, he walked straight to the door, comfortably watched Luo Liuxi walk out of the door, stood up slowly, looked at her back fixedly, and asked lightly: "Can my mother sue me, why does my mother hate me so much?" â
Luo Liuxi's footsteps paused, turned back and glanced at Shu Xin lightly, turned around and walked away quickly, as if with anger and panic at a loss, fleeing.
Shu Xin looked at the direction of Luo Liuxi's disappearance for a long time, and lowered her eyes lightly with an expressionless face, she could feel Luo Liuxi's deep disgust and even hatred for her, and she could feel the pain and contradiction in her heart when facing her, what kind of story did this woman have?
"Miss?" Qiu'er called cautiously.
Shu Xin came back to his senses, glanced at Qiu'er, saw the doubts and expectations in her eyes, and smiled slightly: "The truth is just like that, I originally wanted to tell you the truth later." â
Qiu'er's eyes lit up, full of excitement and joy: "Really? Miss didn't ......."
"Shhhhh......h â
Qiu'er rolled her eyes and thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I know, Miss." â
"Alright, it's not too early, let's go rest!" Comfortably patted Qiu'er's shoulder: "Remember to keep it secret, don't let anyone else know for the time being." â
"Well, I got it, Miss." Qiu'er responded happily.
Shu Xin watched Qiu'er walk out of the room, and thoughtfully closed the door, slowly walked to the door and tied the door back, this is her long-standing habit, she must lock the door when sleeping, otherwise she will have no sense of security when she sleeps in the room.
Shu Xin stood quietly for a while with his back against the door, recalling the first day of rebirth, and felt that Qiu'er was much smarter and more powerful than he imagined, and she really didn't look like an ordinary maid who followed a cowardly young lady who was not favored.
Don't think much about Qiu'er's comfort, as long as she really cares about her master and doesn't do anything to betray her.
"It was a lively and fulfilling day! It's finally over! Shu Xin sighed and walked to the bed.
After dinner, before going to the courtyard to cool off, Shu Xin has washed up, and then you can go to sleep directly, throw yourself on the bed, turn over and cover the quilt, and soon fall asleep.
What she didn't know was that the excitement of the day wasn't over yet......
