Chapter 337: Hold Your Ground (Part II)
Shu'er expected that Liu would ask about this, so Shicai had already thought of a countermeasure.
Although she doesn't know whether the reason she thinks is accurate, even if she calmly and her father-in-law still have the slightest vitality, she has to protect it desperately. So she naturally couldn't tell Liu the reason she deduced, otherwise, with Liu's means, even if he didn't bring a single soldier to Yaowang Mountain at all, he would never give Congrong and his father-in-law half a chance to live.
Shu'er said expressionlessly: "I didn't expect the word 'deep friendship' to come out of your mouth. Who is Xue Jiuming, don't you know? If he cares about righteousness, how can he make a living selling poison? No matter how good his medical skills are, he is just a black-hearted businessman. I've done a lot of business and I know what a businessman needs most. What a merchant needs most is not affection, because affection is priceless, and it cannot be priced. What businessmen need most is to judge the situation, to curry favor with the powerful, and to forget their righteousness for the sake of profit.
Now that the three kingdoms of Qi Wei Shu have no owner, King Zhao is seriously injured, and the king of Chu is gentle, the general trend of the world is in the palm of your King Song. With Xue Jiuming's shrewdness, how could he let the powerful people who came to his door not please, instead of sticking to the friendship of wine and meat on the rivers and lakes?
If he helps you get rid of the flesh and blood of the King of Qi, it will be a contribution to the Song Kingdom. And I was unconscious at the time, and only the two of you will know about his 'credit'. From now on, you will not only be grateful to him, but also jealous of him, for he must have felt that you would not want me to know that you had ordered my child to be killed.
Once I know, Yu Gong, as the king of Anyi in Chu State, I can set off a bloody storm on the border of Chu and Song in a fit of anger, and from then on, there will be no peace in Song Kingdom, and I will hate you for the rest of my life.
Some people in this world live in the past, some live in the present, and some live in the future.
Xue Jiuming is a shrewd businessman to the core. He does not cling to the feelings of the past, nor is he afraid of your present threats, for what he wants is the gratitude and jealousy of the future lords of the nations. ”
Although Liu knew that Shu'er had always been a good mouthful, he was still surprised by her calm thinking at this time. But in any case, this was the first time Shu'er had talked so much to him in a few days, and he was reluctant to stop.
Liu nodded and said, "What you say makes sense, but I can also order him to kill the child in your womb, and then kill him." When the time comes, everyone else is dead, what do you want me to be grateful and jealous for? ”
Shu'er said: "If I were you, I wouldn't kill him, because if I kill him, I'll die forever." There is no proof of death, and it is even more unfavorable for you and for Song Guo. Only when he is alive will someone cover up your evil deeds for you, and someone will tell me that the child was not killed by your order, but that my travel, restlessness, and physical exhaustion caused ......"
Shu'er's voice didn't fall, only to hear Liu interrupt: "Shu'er, the child in your womb will definitely be born healthy and safe, and will definitely grow up healthy and safe." Although I don't dare to say that I can treat your child like King Wei treats King Qi, no matter whether your child is male or female, whether he wants to be free or become an official when he grows up, I will satisfy him.
Your child must have the most prosperous and glorious personality in the Kyushu nations. The King of Medicine failed to kill him, and what was waiting for him would only be the support and favor of the King of Song and the King of Chu. There is also King Zhao, that year, King Zhao gave you and me the top prize of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, and he will definitely love your child. Therefore, your top priority is to rest well and have a good baby, so that you can bring a child with such a good life into this world smoothly. ”
Shu'er saw that Liu no longer doubted Xue Jiuming's strange move, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are also a person who lives in the future. ”
Liu was still holding the pasted vegetable porridge in his hand, the vegetable porridge was cold, and he was about to get up to recook the porridge, when he heard a steady and light pair of footsteps outside the door.
Liu immediately put the wooden bowl aside, hugged Shu'er, and whispered in her ear: "I only want to live in the moment." ”
Shu'er was just about to break free, but Liu firmly held her, and had lightly imprinted a kiss on the corner of her mouth, which was cold and soft, and she would not leave for a long time.
At this time, the door of the room was being opened, and Xue Yiren shouted "Ahhh Shameless! ”
Xue Jiuming's tone was calm: "Yiren, don't be rude." ”
Xue Yiren immediately withdrew his hand and stuck out his tongue at his father with a smile.
Shu'er took the opportunity to look at the father and daughter of the Xue family, and saw that Xue Jiuming was really as Liu said, and was not surprised, as if he was looking at the couple who had been married for many years in the farmhouse next door. Although Xue Yiren was scolding, his eyes gradually appeared with a lively smile, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were full of joy.
Shu'er leaned weakly into Liu's arms, pretending to close her eyes and rest, but she was thinking in her heart: "It seems that what Liu said is right, Xue Jiuming already knows that the child in my womb is King Song's." And my inference is not wrong. Xue Yiren was very good-looking, without any sadness, and when she saw that I abandoned her 'Zhuge brother' and threw herself into the arms of King Song, she piled up a face of joy that could not be concealed...... Fortunately, Liu didn't know what she was thinking about calmness, otherwise with her happy face, how could she hide life and death? It's a pity that Liu is here, and I can't open my mouth to ask their father and daughter.
Calmly, father-in-law, you are in this Medicine King Villa, right?
Since you are still alive and there are green mountains, everything must be considered in the long run. Wait for me to lure Liu away, wait for me to give birth to the child peacefully, and then come to you alone. What's more, even if I ask openly at this time, the father and daughter of the Xue family will definitely not reveal your news to me, the 'woman of the King of Song'. Rather than letting the child fall into trouble with me, without the help of King Song or the trust of the Xue family's father and daughter, it is better to stand still for the time being and leave this Yaowang Mountain, which is full of poison. ”
Liu took Shu'er in his arms, and his heart was already full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but fake it. He put his chin on the top of Shu'er's head, looking very intimate, smiling like a spring breeze, and his voice was like a hot spring moisturizing jade: "Shu'er, your happy pulse is from Xue Zhang's clinic." Our children are also kept by Master Xue for us. Haven't you hurried to thank Master Xue? ”
Shu'er opened her eyes slowly, smiled gently at Xue Jiuming, and said, "His Royal Highness King Song and I will be grateful to Master Xue for the rest of our lives." ”
Xue Jiuming also smiled, but his eyes were full of disdain: "I haven't applied a silver needle, nor have I prescribed a good medicine, so I don't dare to take credit." ”
Xue Yiren walked up to Shu'er, looked at Liu with ill intentions, and said, "His Royal Highness King Song, it turns out that you are the father of the child in her womb!" Congratulations! It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, why don't you be in our Yaowang Mountain's Hundred Poisons Hall today, and give your immortal child a name! ”
Liu still had a smile on her face, but she knew that Shu'er definitely didn't want to let her husband's killer choose a name for her child, so she said noncommittally: "The widow's child naturally has to take the best name." The widow hasn't thought about it for a while......"
Liu Tui, Shu'er was helpless. Xue Yiren, do you want to kill the child born to your Zhuge brother and another woman like this? I don't know how to act anymore, don't you still believe that this kid is the king of Song?
Thinking of this, Shu'er pushed Liu's chest and sat up straight, gently put his right index finger on Liu's lips, and said to Liu with a smile: "What are you humble?" Didn't you tell me just now that you have already thought of more than a dozen names, whether it is a son or a daughter? ”
Liu Chuimu looked at the jade ring he personally wore on Shu'er's wrist, and understood that Shu'er was not only lying in front of the Xue family's father and daughter at this time, but also deliberately embarrassing him.
The corners of Liu's mouth curled, but there was a little bitterness in his eyes. He didn't say a name to her, he said to her
"Shu'er, although I am your husband's killer, I have also become your child's life-saving benefactor.
You don't know, when I found out that you were pregnant last night, I actually had mixed feelings in my heart. But when I found out that Xue Jiuming began to trick me and lead me to order the murder of Zhuge Congrong's child...... All I could do was ecstasy! I think that I am so heinous, but I can be blessed by Heaven and have this opportunity to atone for my sins! I must not lose this opportunity.
Therefore, now in this world, the person who wants to keep the child in your womb the most is me.
I am his benefactor, and he is my benefactor. ”
Liu held Shu'er's hands and said, "The word 'En' is good?" ”
Shu'er nodded with satisfaction: "I also think that the word 'en' is the best, suitable for both men and women." Our child is called 'Liu En'. ”
Xue Yiren asked Liu Dao again: "His Royal Highness the King of Song, the little girl is a shallow learner, I don't know what to mean by the word 'en'?" ”
