He felt that she was no longer struggling, so he immediately let go of his hand with a tremble, leaving two shallow bee and butterfly buttons on his palm.

"You weren't ruthless enough to kill me! Only by throwing away all the false good and evil in the world, devouring the weak, and making oneself strong, can we protect those who are truly worthy of protection. Lu Qi quickly put away his anger and said coldly.

Shuying regained her senses and slowly raised her head, "Is your mother the so-called weak?" Doesn't she deserve your protection? ”

"A person who is determined to die, what's the point of you saving her? Fortunately, I already knew that they would definitely make a fuss about her death, and it was only a matter of time, so it was better to attack and defend...... And you, your arrival, made them speed up their movements and also found their direction!

"Do you know why Lu Yuan, who was in the original big house, died? Because he is a concubine like me, we are entangled in bad luck, cursed by the gods, and can only never see the light of day in this tiger's den and dragon pool! My mother had to do it for me and for this family. Only by erasing the identity of the concubine can I have the future I want. ”

Xie Shuying didn't know who Lu Yuan was, and she didn't care about this issue, she was almost crazy, if she didn't have that trace of clarity and self-control, she would have to laugh here more than once.

"Is there really no way to have it both ways?"

"Nope. If they harm you in this way today, they will harm others tomorrow, and there will never be an end in sight. The only way to break this cycle is to give back to them in their own way, to replace them, and let us control the world ourselves. ”

What was wrong with her, she originally just wanted to know the truth and retire, but now she is forced to fight for power and profit with these people, entangled in life and death!

-

On August 19, Shuying personally braved the rain to find Xiuqin to express her gratitude, and when she arrived in the third room, she realized that Sister Qin had returned to Liu's house with the Liu family.

She was disappointed, shivered a few times when she walked into the house, and only thought about the jade bracelet that suddenly disappeared, so she leaned on the soft couch and stared at the beams of the room, not wanting to move.

Liluo brought a bowl of ginger tea and asked her to take off her coat and drink tea again, "Girl, always drink some tea to warm up, don't catch a cold again." ”

"Where's An Yue?"

"Sister Yue is still rummaging through the cabinets in the warm pavilion over there! For the sake of this little bracelet, we turned the whole house upside down in the past two days, and we almost dug into the mud outside! ”

Dirt ......

The shadow was thoughtful.

After the girl returned to the courtyard in the afternoon before yesterday, she went straight to the potted pine trees, put away all the small pebbles inside, threw them into the bamboo forest behind, and specially covered them with dirt leaves. She has always looked so depressed for the past two days, but it is not easy for Liluo to ask directly what happened, so she can only slowly explain.

Shuying changed her clothes, put down a cup of ginger tea, was bored, and played the knee piano again.

"Jun asked that the return date is not due, and the night rain in Bashan rises in the autumn pool. Why should he cut the candles in the west window, but talk about the night rain in Bashan......"

She suddenly remembered Lu Qi's words.

Is it really only by devouring the weak and making yourself strong that you can protect the people you want to protect?

Du Ruo lived in isolation in the Hou Mansion and had no quarrel with the world, but their mother and son were still hated, so much so that Du Ruo wanted to break it off on his own.

Even if she decides on her own, she will be used to blame her Xie Shuying and provoke disputes in the Hou Mansion. Once the incident happens, no one can afford the consequences.

Could it really be as Lu Qi warned her in the mourning hall, she shouldn't have come, or that this game of chess was wrong from the beginning......

The more I played, the more sad I felt, and the sound of the piano in my ears was condensed.

Suddenly, the door was blown open by a gust of wind. Riro walked over and closed the door, but screamed and fell to the ground.

A dark shadow cast in and walked towards the shadow. Shuying saw the face under the hat clearly by the light, and the person who was drenched in the rain turned out to be Shentu Town.

"Brother! How did you end up here?! ”

"Someone is chasing me......" As soon as he looked down, rain dripped from his hat.

Shu Ying didn't have time to ask the ins and outs of this matter, and while reaching out to take off his hat, he explained: "You quickly take off your coat and hide on my bed, and then cover yourself with the bed quilt, don't make a sound!" I'll take care of the rest! ”

Shen Tuzhen was a little squirming, she pushed him into Nannuan Pavilion with force, and then asked An Yue to hide behind the bed and cover it with a tent. Liluo finally calmed herself down, opened the window of the Beinuan Pavilion towards the back of the courtyard, and threw the damp hat downstairs.

Soon, a tall man in black broke into the house.

"Who are you? Why trespass on the back house!? ”

"Shadow girl, offended, please forgive the little recklessness! The little one came to pursue an assassin who assassinated my son-in-law, and he did flee in this direction, I wonder if the young lady ever saw it? ”

"Your son-in-law is Lu Suiyun?"

"Yes. Please don't hide the assassin, hand him over quickly, and the little one can go back to his life! ”

Presumably he is Wei Feng in Lu Hongbin's mouth. He was the same guy I saw at the door of the study that day.

Shuying deliberately turned his head sideways to look at the open window over there, and said with a panicked expression: "Little brother is too worried, I was in the house just now, how can I not know if someone comes?" ”

Wei Feng really walked to the window and looked down to see the hat. He turned around suspiciously, wanting to ask Shuying for forgiveness, but caught a glimpse of the closed bed in the room.

An Yue knew that the situation outside was critical, so she quickly coughed twice, covered her head with a handkerchief, and said in a dumb voice: "Liluo, why is it so noisy outside...... Hurry up and help me up, I'll ...... Cough! ”

"Sister Yue, we're fine! You're still sick, so let's lie down and rest! Riro responded.

Shuying looked at him and said with a smile: "Little brother, my maid has a cold disease today and is bedridden, please don't disturb her rest!" The man you asked is already gone, and if you want to catch him, it's not too late to get out......"

Wei Feng didn't listen to Shuying's words and walked straight over there.

"Stop! I, the master, can't stand to see my maid being bullied, if you insist on ruining her innocence, step on my corpse first! ”

Shuying pulled out the hairpin on his bun, the sharp sharp horns were aimed at his throat, and a wisp of green silk was softly scattered on his shoulder, but there was no intention of obedience.

She walked towards Wei Feng step by step, Wei Feng was forced to retreat step by step, and when he reached the door, he jumped out, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one.

"Alright, come out."

Shuying opened the tent, and Shen Tuzhen came out of the bed like a big worm, looking at her with a begging look.

"I ......"

"You what you! Why kill Lu Suiyun? ”

Shen Tuzhen knew that she hated listening to these beatings and killings the most, and was afraid that she would misunderstand herself, so she was very emotional: "I don't want to kill him!" I forgot to ask you last time, why did you sign his name on the outside of your book? Although the third master of Yang helped me bring the letter later, I was still afraid that you would be deceived, so I wanted to take the opportunity to visit the third master to teach him a lesson; Who knew that I had discovered a secret this time, and he was going to kill me to kill me! ”

Shuying pulled her hair back together while listening to Shen Tuzhen's speech, "What secret?" ”

"That kid actually has evidence about the cause of your brother's death all the time!" Shen Tuzhen took out a secret letter from his bosom, saying that it was taken from Lu Qi's study.

Shuying took it and looked at it, and it said "one pound of fresh sea cucumbers, five pounds of fresh Jipin abalone". She lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Shen Tuzhen had already guessed a few points, so he told her that he had heard that some people were born to not eat seafood and other hair products, otherwise they would induce hives or asthma, and even die from it in severe cases. Maybe start from this and check the cause of Lu Cheng's death.

"Brother is saying...... Brother Ziqiao ate these things by mistake, and then ......"

"I'm just speculating at the moment, and I can't make up my mind yet."

Shuying explained the truth of the envelope's signature, telling him that the problem had been solved, "It's a pity that the deceased is silent, otherwise why would you and I have to work so hard!" But fortunately, he will definitely leave some clues to let us know and help him settle his mind. Now, the things we need to know are finally a little eyebrow-raising! I will go to Lu Suiyun to ask clearly, my brother doesn't have to worry about me. ”

"Not worried? Look at who is around him! If he hurts you, it's too late for you to regret it! ”

"Hengzhu and Hou Ye can stop him, he doesn't dare to mess around." And he really had so many things to explain to her, which inexplicably attracted her to find out.

Shen Tu Zhen looked up to the sky and shouted: "Alas, my sister doesn't want my brother when she arrives at someone else's house!" What did you forget to promise me? ”

He said the day before she came to the Hou Mansion that if she didn't have a good home, her brother would raise her for the rest of her life and take care of her for the rest of her life. No matter what others do to her, her brother will always be on her side. As long as she's okay, nothing else matters.

Shuying thought about it, and a wave of warmth gradually surged in her heart.
