It's raining outside, and catching up with such an early autumn solar term adds a bit of coldness. The drizzle is like a needle, and the virtual cage is in the ancient old house, and the rain curtain is hazy and weaved, as if the antique color is dyed with a wisp of poetry.

Su Huiyi walked out all the way, bypassing the courtyard where the red and green were stacked, a group of attendants did not leave an inch, the car was already waiting at the gate, Lin Ning saw Su Huiyi, and opened the car door in a hurry, Su Huiyi glanced at him before getting into the car, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Lin Ning nodded slightly, sat on the passenger seat, and instructed the driver to drive, and when the car slowly drove out of the Overseer's Mansion, Lin Ning turned around and said, "Seventh Shao, there is a new move over there." ”

Su Huiyi lowered his eyes, took out a handkerchief and brushed the tea leaves on his body. took out a cigarette from his pocket again, took one in his hand, and said lightly: "It's time to clean up those eyeliners outside the Shen Mansion, and make them cleaner, the third child has been too idle recently, and he should make some trouble for him." ”

Lin Ning immediately responded, hesitated and said, "Qi Shao, right now that the second son and the third son are fighting each other, why don't you come to a fisherman to make a profit?" ”

Su Huiyi groaned for a while, and said: "Now that the second child is his father's dog, his hand is so long, and when he takes care of the Shen family's affairs, I should indeed knock on his arm to make him hurt." He paused and said, "Li Moting is just a pawn thrown by the second child, she doesn't have to worry about it, but Han Wan'er is a big problem, contact Lin Bo and let him have a defense." ”

Lin Ning only felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, but he didn't dare to say much at the moment, so he said tentatively: "Qishao has taken great pains to protect Miss Shen, but I'm afraid that Miss Shen still blames Qishao for being ruthless." ”

Su Huiyi exhaled a puff of smoke, frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lin Ning hesitated for a long time before he said: "The assassinations of the big marshal will become more and more frequent, and the Shen family has Han Wan'er to stir up the situation, how can the seven young people take care of it?" Mo said that Miss Shen didn't know this, even if she learned the truth one day, she might not be grateful to Qishao. ”

Su Huiyi turned his eyes to look out of the car window, and a hazy white light appeared in the rain curtain, which was entangled one by one, like vines, with abrasive moisture, which disturbed people's thoughts.

When Shen Qiang Rose returned, it was already sunset, and the sun only left its last ray, red and faint, dyeing the sky golden yellow.

She had been restless all the way, she only felt very tired, and just after getting out of the car, she saw Lin Bo come out, and said with a sad face: "Miss, Young Master Qiao has been waiting for you all afternoon, and he hasn't left yet." ”

Shen Qiangrose saw Lin Bo's embarrassed face, and knew that he couldn't do these things, so she sighed and walked into the hall quickly. Qiao Yunhua was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and stood up as soon as she saw her.

He was wearing a pure black suit, his figure was tall and straight, and he had a decent gentleman's smile on his handsome face, and said politely: "Miss Shen is finally willing to come back." After a pause, he asked again: "Where did you go to play, and you came back so late?" ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't like him to talk to her in such a familiar tone, and saw that there was another messenger beside him, looking like the stars were holding the moon. She couldn't get used to it, frowned and asked, "What are you doing again?" ”

Qiao Yunhua looked at her for a few days in a row, and she had long been accustomed to it, smiled indifferently, and said, "Can't I come?" Don't forget, we're married. ”

Shen Qiangrose was impatient and perfunctory to him, and was already about to go upstairs, but when she heard him say this, a wave of anger rose in her heart, and her face became ugly, and she said, "How can you come up with an unfounded joke instead?" ”

Qiao Yunhua was silent for a long time, he was some distance away from her, and at this moment he saw her standing at the top of the stairs, her snow-white dress reaching her ankles, that kind of slim and upright made him in a trance, he laughed softly, and asked, "Are you blaming me?" ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that his speech today was very different from the past, she was surprised, but she saw that Qiao Yunhua had already walked over, and there was a strong smell of wine on her face, Shen Qiangrose instinctively took two steps back, but he grabbed her arm, his strength was not great, but she was startled, and she forgot to speak for a while.

In the past, most of the two of them were arguing when they met, although Qiao Yunhua was frivolous, but he stayed abroad for three years, and his demeanor was gentlemanly, and he always had a fan, and he always looked like he was not interested in her.

It was the first time that such a faux pas had been made, Qiao Yunhua seemed to be taken aback, and looked at Shen Qiangrose intently, and after a while, Fang smiled and turned his eyes to look at her wrist, where the wound had turned into a scar.

He couldn't help but say: "Shen Qiangrose, I really underestimated you in the past, you actually have the ability to commit suicide by cutting your wrists?" Don't you claim to be a woman in the new era, who advocates democracy and freedom all day long, why do you still learn the old-fashioned way of women playing with crying, making trouble and hanging themselves? ”

Shen Qiangrose was upset for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, shook off his hand vigorously, and said in a cold voice: "You don't have a gun and a stick here, whether I die or not is my own business, what does it matter to you?" ”

Qiao Yunhua smiled indifferently and said, "It's none of my business, but I've always liked to meddle in things, if you die, no one will quarrel with me, so I still miss you, how boring it is." ”

Shen Qiangrose knew that he had always been such a scoundrel, especially when the young master's temper came up, he was afraid that he would make a fuss, so he said to the messenger he brought: "Young Master Qiao is drunk, send him back." ”

Qiao Yunhua took a step forward and approached Shen Qiangrose, he lowered his voice and said, "I know you are stubborn, your father forced you to let you get engaged to me, and your boss is not happy." Actually, your father cares a lot about you and your mother, and you'll always know that...... I know you don't like me, you used to say...... I'm going to marry you just because you're the finance minister's daughter, and you're wrong, so it's my father who thinks about it, and as far as I'm concerned, marry you......"

As he spoke, he paid attention to Shen Qiangrose's expression, and saw that she frowned slightly, her fair face was very gorgeous, he couldn't help but hook his lips, smiled chicly, and said, "It's better to marry you than to marry someone else." With that, he took two steps back and smiled at her triumphantly. Shen Qiangrose's face suddenly became ugly, but she endured it and didn't speak.

Qiao Yunhua said casually: "You suddenly don't quarrel with me, but you are not used to calling me the boss." But you're pretty good-looking like this. ”

Shen Qiangrose snorted, turned around and went upstairs. Behind him was his voice, "Don't be angry, being angry is not good for your skin." Shen Qiangrose's back stiffened again.

After she returned to the room, she thought about Qiao Yunhua's words that seemed to be true and false, and vaguely wanted to come out, but she couldn't figure it out. She thought of her mother, who was a woman who walked out of the old-fashioned courtyard, and always had a subtle and gentle smile on her face, as graceful and luxurious as a peony.

Her father was so short-tempered and irritable, and Jin was a prisoner who tied his mother to this rich and noble court, ignored her, and always snubbed her, and even beat her at worst.

In the days when my mother was most ill, she called her name vaguely, "Rose, my son, my life." ”

She slept worriedly, naturally very unsteadily, faintly listening to the sound of the night wind blowing the branches, which made her have a splitting headache, and her clothes were soaked with sticky sweat.

She got up and walked out of the room, standing in the corridor on the second floor, it was pitch black downstairs, but the study was faintly bright, and she couldn't help but go downstairs, wearing soft satin slippers on her feet, and stepping on the thick cotton carpet, and she fell silently.

After Shen Pingsheng passed away, the study room has always been empty, except for the occasional maid who sprinkles and sweeps, and no one goes.

At first, she only thought that the little maid had carelessly forgotten to turn off the light, but when she got closer, she heard Lin Bo's voice faintly, "...... If you let the lady know...... Seven less. ”

She suddenly heard these keywords, and couldn't help but pause, and Limber's voice came out again, "She hasn't had anything unusual ......lately" A chill slowly rose from the soles of her feet, and a chill ran down her spine, and Limbo's words were like a slap in the head, making her scratch her head.

She thought about it, and finally tiptoed into the hall, slowly moved forward along the sofa, picked up the microphone of the phone, and listened to the voice on the other end, "I can't delay it any longer, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be." ”

Shen Qiangrose heard this, and hurriedly put the microphone, her heart was flustered, but she was afraid that Lin Bo would be suspicious, so she hurried upstairs, until she entered the room, she gasped a few breaths, her heart was pounding, anxious and fast.

She looked out the window, it was a moonless night, and all the doubts came up, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
