Chapter 54: Irony and Sadness
Shu Xin broke away from Gu Yan, took two steps back, and whispered in a little panic: "Cousin, please respect yourself, I will sue you, but the concerns in my heart are all for your sake!" β
"For my sake?" Gu Yan asked suspiciously, a flash of disbelief flashed in his eyes, he knew that he was a little anxious just now, and looked at Shu Xin apologetically: "Xin'er, I'm sorry, you can quickly tell your cousin what you know!" β
Shu Xin looked at Gu Yan's anxious appearance that he couldn't scratch his ears and cheeks, pursed his lips and frowned, and said softly after a moment of silence: "Last night, I stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched my cousin walk away, until I couldn't see my cousin anymore. When I was sad and about to go back to my room, I suddenly saw two figures flickering in the woods, and they also walked in the direction where my cousin left, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I think about it......"
"Who? Who is it? Can you see clearly? Gu Yan asked very eagerly.
"Hmm......" Shu Xin muttered, and glanced at Gu Yan with some embarrassment.
Gu Yan couldn't stand Shu Xin's stumbling appearance anymore, and said hurriedly: "Xin'er, even if I beg you, you can sue your cousin and me!" β
Shu Xin bit her lip and glanced at Gu Yan a little anxiously and at a loss, then lowered her eyes and said softly: "Cousin, don't worry, I can't say it?" β
Shu Xin was entangled again, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yan fixedly: "What I saw was the fourth sister and Hongxiang." β
"Fourth cousin? Shu Pan? Gu Yan asked in disbelief: "You read it right?" β
Shu Xin looked at Gu Yan with pure and good eyes, tightened his eyebrows, shook his head, and said softly: "I know that my cousin has a good relationship with the fourth sister, I just saw them in the forest, but it doesn't mean anything, cousin, don't think about it." β
Shu Xin lowered his eyes sadly: "I hesitated before, because I was afraid that if my cousin thought too much, it would affect the relationship between my cousin and the fourth sister." β
Gu Yan frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, the coldness in his eyes slowly condensed, he thought that Shu Pan held his handle, that is, he went to Hualou to find Xiao Qi, originally after Chuan Shu Xin had tuberculosis, he didn't want to complete the plan to frame her with them, but his aunt didn't agree with Shu Pan anything.
He proposed to change the man to complete it, they said that it would not achieve the effect of their plan, and asked him to complete it himself, and Shu Pan also avoided his aunt and said that if he did not complete it, she would tell his father the secret, so that he would be disgusted by his father and lose the right to inherit the family property, and also persuaded him that tuberculosis was not so easily contagious.
When he came that night, Shu Panding didn't believe him, so he secretly followed him to see if he acted according to the plan, but unfortunately he drank so much wine and still ran away...... made him ruined, too.
The more Gu Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more cold he became, he knew how vicious his aunt and Shu Pan were, but he still conspired with the tiger, and ended up like this, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of this, he looked at Shu Xin with soft eyes and said, "I won't think about it much." β
Shu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yan saw Shu Xin like this, and felt that she was kind, even if she was abused by Shu Pan so much, and designed to frame her like that, she never saw resentment in her eyes, until this time, she would call her the fourth sister, and for the sake of their relationship, Gu Yan felt guilty for deceiving Shu Xin for the first time.
"Xin'er, I'm really sorry." Gu Yan apologized softly and smiled leisurely: "I know that you are really good to me." β
Shu Xin looked at the sincerity in Gu Yan's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and smiled a little sarcastically in his heart, Shu Xin treated him sincerely before, and he reciprocated her with false intentions, but now that he was falsely deceived, he believed it and felt guilty, it was really ironic and sad.
In the past, Shu Xin was a standard little white flower, innocent and kind, but it can also be said that she was very stupid and naΓ―ve, Shu Xin knew that Gu Yan would definitely believe her words after she was hung up on her appetite. The more I told him not to think about it, the more he would think about it. Shu Xin decided to add another fire, and she was going to watch them dog-eat-dog.
But later, before they could bite the results, Shu Xin took the lead in taking action.
"Don't be sad, cousin, maybe I'm wrong." Shu Xin looked at Gu Yan with sparkling eyes and said softly: "Why don't you go and ask the fourth sister if she went to the woods last night." β
"Humph!" Gu Yan snorted coldly: "Shu Pan is that kind of person, if you ask her, she won't tell the truth." β
"Hmm......" Shu Xin nodded slightly, pondered for a while, his eyes lit up tentatively: "If my cousin just asked her if she had been to the woods, she would have nothing to deceive her cousin, right?" β
Shu Pan and Hongxiang did hide in the woods last night and peeked, and they did leave in a hurry together, if Gu Yan went to Shu Pan and only asked her if she went to the woods, Shu Pan would naturally admit that Gu Yan had no intentions, but did they leave to design Gu Yan or do something else? When Gu Yan got the answer, he would not go to the bottom of it, he would only decide according to what he thought in his heart.
"Hmm." Gu Yan nodded again and again, and smiled gratefully at Shu Xin: "I know what to do." β
Shu Xin pretended to be ignorant and looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan smiled softly, in fact, Gu Yan was good, and his smile was quite attractive, with a faint warmth, but these superficial things would not change the essence of his scum.
"By the way, Xin'er, what do you see, is there anyone else besides them?" Gu Yan was silent and thought for a while before asking.
Shu Xin pretended to think about it very seriously for a long time, and shook his head: "No, I saw them leaving in a hurry from the woods, looking like they were in a hurry to do something, and I didn't see anyone else." Shu Xin said sadly, lowered his head sadly, and muttered in a slightly choked voice: "Before last night, it was rumored that I had tuberculosis, and my mother also isolated me, who would come here?" And it's a big night. β
"I'm sorry for making you sad." Gu Yan saw that Shu Xin was sad, and his heart hurt and comforted him softly, he knew how much Shu Xin longed for her ruthless mother to come to see her, and he usually didn't come, how could he come when he learned that Shu Xin had tuberculosis?
Thinking like this, Gu Yan hugged Shu Xin: "Xin'er, you miss her in your heart, but she has never ignored you, it's too much, don't think about her and make yourself sad, in the future, my cousin will be good to you, and will always be good to you." β
Comfortably "moved" glanced at Gu Yan, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and hung his head shyly: "Thank you cousin for your concern, but cousin doesn't care about me now, let's still think about how to solve the rumors!" β
Speaking of this, Gu Yan became sad again, looked at it comfortably, and decided to add some conviction to Gu Yan's suspicious heart, and sighed as if talking to himself: "How many people can design such a thing in the backyard of this Shu Mansion so quietly?" β
