Phoenix's life? What is this? This was the first thought in Zhao Liusi's mind.

Liu Sheng didn't let her think about it much, and directly announced the answer, "Before the draft, there was a proverb circulating all over the city, saying that there was a Xiangshi who had seen the face for the eldest lady, saying that she had a phoenix life and was unspeakably expensive. ”

"This," Zhao Liusi didn't expect such a play, and he was dumbfounded and speechless.

"The eldest lady is a person with an idea, when the court was going to draft, she had already guessed that she might be framed and selected, so she found a suitable person, and the two sides changed the Geng post, and waited to prepare for the wedding. I was in the Western Regions at the time, and after learning the news, I emptied the goods as soon as possible and bought a congratulatory gift to go home. But who knows, when I came back, I found out that before the eldest lady's wedding, that is, when the official in charge of the draft was about to arrive, the eldest lady had a serious illness and the wedding had to be postponed. ”

"The eldest lady's illness came strangely, saying that the night before was fine, but the night audit may have been cold, the next day I got sick, three or four days later, almost no one knows, the city's famous doctors have only one sentence...... Let's prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible. ”

"Well, that's too much of a coincidence." Zhao Liusi only felt frightened, thinking about it and subconsciously said, "But if someone framed her, why only let her get sick?" ”

Liu Sheng shook his head and didn't explain much, just continued, "Just when the house had already given up on the idea and was about to let people hold the funeral, suddenly a lame Taoist priest knocked on the door, saying that it was obtained by looking at the qi, and I saw that the mansion was full of red clouds, and there were great nobles living here. At that time, the government was upset and wanted to drive him away, but he went to die and held the door and did not leave, saying that he was here to help the noble man get rid of his misfortune, and if he left, the noble man would really die. Menzi was surprised and reported the people in the house...... At that time, the eldest lady was already less angry and more angry, and your father was helpless, saying that it was better to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and let the Taoist priest treat her. But who would have thought that the Taoist priest would take a dose of medicine, and the eldest lady opened her eyes immediately, and then asked the doctor to check the pulse, and everyone said that it was good, as if she was not sick. ”

"This ......" Zhao Liusi didn't know what to say for a while.

Everyone can see that this thing is weird, but it's hard to say who did it.

According to Zhao Liusi's point of view, there are no gods and ghosts in this world, so there are only two possibilities for Zhao Liusi's illness, either she is led by herself or by others, but if she is led by herself, why should she give up her plan to get herself out of the draft and get into the troubled waters of the draft? You know, she is in Liangzhou, in Lingtai County, but the eldest lady who is said to be the same, has money in her hands, has power in her family, and has no mother to control her, she is much more carefree than ordinary women in the world, what can't she think of, to go to the cage in the palace?

But if she didn't do it, what did the people behind the scenes want? If you just let her get seriously ill and "die", why do you have to arrange someone to save her? arranged for someone to save her, why did she give her the word "phoenix life"?

Was this arrangement made in good faith or in bad faith?

"I wasn't there at the time, and I don't know how the news got out. During the draft, any news related to this will be doubled up, so the flower and bird envoy has not yet arrived in Liangzhou, and he already knows the reputation of the eldest lady. And the family who set up a relationship with the eldest lady also politely returned the Geng post after the rumors came out. Liu Sheng sneered and said, "After all, she is a woman with the life of a phoenix, who in the world dares to enjoy it except for the emperor?" ”

Feng Ming's criticism itself didn't have any meaning, but the rumors gave her something else. With this name on the back of the eldest sister, it will be difficult to get out of that whirlpool. Zhao Liusi sighed and said, "What's more, she is just a woman from an ordinary family, and she suddenly got this title, once she enters the palace, even if it is because Geely may be favored by the above, but because of her own weakness, she may not have seen the face of the nobles, which aroused the hostility of other show girls, and she did not benefit from it, but suffered from it." ”

Liu Sheng listened to Zhao Liusi's emotion, looking at her gaze changed slightly, Zhao Liusi came back to his senses, noticed the abnormality of his gaze, and was a little displeased, "What's wrong?" ”

"I've been busy with business over the years, and my time in Beijing is limited, so I haven't dealt with you a few times, but I don't care less about you...... In the past, they all said that you were stupid, but now it seems that my people are too blind. Liu Sheng said lightly, not hiding that he sent someone to monitor Zhao Liusi's behavior.

"You voyeur!" Zhao Liusi knew it for the first time, and he was so frightened that his cold hair stood up, and he subconsciously broke out, "Perverted!" ”

Liu Sheng didn't care, but nodded, "If you can distinguish the importance yourself, I won't have to send so many people to keep an eye on you." ”

"Who are your people around me? Tell me quickly! Get them out of here! Zhao Liusi yelled angrily, but Liu Sheng refused, "I have a lot of use for those people, they are harmless to you, you just have to live as before." ”

"I know there's a pair of eyes peeping at me in the dark, how can you make me the same as before? I can't even sleep! Zhao Liusi, who felt that his privacy had been violated, was simply crazy.

Not to mention that she has a lot of secrets, even if she doesn't have any secrets, just think that whether you are eating, sleeping, studying, or playing, there are a pair of eyes behind you that are staring at you without blinking, reporting everything you do to others, and a few people can not feel creepy.

Zhao Liusi was crazy, but Liu Sheng didn't move, just looked at her quietly, in that long and silent confrontation, Zhao Liusi finally understood that no matter how he made trouble, this man would not change his mind, so he could only sit there with his mouth puffed up, expressing dissatisfaction with his behavior.

"Someday, I'll withdraw everyone and give you back your freedom, but not now." Liu Sheng waited for her to calm down before slowly opening her mouth, her appearance was still calm, but there was an indescribable sadness and pain lingering all over her body, "Actually, I still feel that I have not done enough...... When the eldest lady disappeared, I realized how fragile human existence is, and if I am not careful, I will disappear. I thought it was for her good to stay away, but in fact, it was because of my letting go that I made such a big mistake, so I must not let the same tragedy happen to you. But who knows, I was just out on a business trip, and you were almost killed in your own home, by your stupid sister...... If it hadn't happened, how could one have thought that it would also be fatal? ”

"You didn't die this time, it's your fate," Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Liusi and said firmly, "But I can't base my hope of victory on the opponent's mistakes, so I decided to take you out and watch you personally." "Otherwise, even if this case is solved, there will be other cases stuck to you and you will be withdrawn again."

"So, can you cooperate a little bit and stop running around." Liu Sheng looked at Zhao Liusi and asked seriously?

He was a very cold man, but he gave birth to a pair of very bright eyes, the eyes of which were black and shiny, and contained a sincerity that did not match his age. When he looks at you seriously, you will have the illusion that there is only you in his world.

Thinking that the second lady he really wanted to protect had already died in that accident, Zhao Liusi couldn't bear to refuse her again.

"Okay." Zhao Liusi looked away a little embarrassed, and asked vaguely, "Then how long will I wait." ”

"It won't be too long, just wait until March next year." Liu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and then promised Zhao Liusi, "I have been investigating the affairs of the eldest lady for all these years, and now I have found several key witnesses. As long as I can find out about this case this year, find out who is behind it, and eliminate the real mastermind, then you will be safe, and you will naturally do whatever you want. ”

"Really?" Zhao Liusi showed a look of surprise?

Liu Sheng looked at her happy appearance and couldn't help but nodded, with a rare faint smile on her face.

He nodded, and assured her earnestly, "Anything goes." ”

"Is it okay to not get married?" Zhao Liusi asked excitedly.

God knows how afraid she is of blind marriage and dumb marriage in this era, for fear that when she wakes up one day, she will see Mother Park and Chunxiang lying on the side of the bed and congratulate her in surprise, "Congratulations, Miss, xx has found a wishful husband for you, and you are about to get married." ”

Liu Sheng didn't expect Zhao Liusi's dream to be this, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head after a while, and then said seriously, "No." ”

Zhao Liusi's face collapsed suddenly, and he complained dissatisfiedly, "Hmph, you still say that I can do whatever I want." ”

"Anything but getting married." Liu Sheng also realized for the first time that he still had things that he couldn't promise, three points funny, and seven points helplessly explained, "If the eldest lady is still here, I won't have to force you to get married." But now that the eldest lady is gone, if you don't get married, what will happen to the foundation of the Liu family? ”

"Isn't there still you?" Zhao Liusi is particularly annoyed by this reproductive theory, "You are not also surnamed Liu."

"I can't." Liu Sheng shook his head, "My Liu was only borrowed, if the wealth of the Liu family is compared to a treasure trove, then I am just a gatekeeper." The gatekeeper cannot take the property of the master's family as his own, that is disloyalty and unworthy of being a human being. ”

Zhao Liusi was very dissatisfied with this kind of foolish and loyal idea, and blurted out a rebuttal, "Then in order to fulfill your loyalty, don't you even want a big sister?" ”

"You," it was Liu Sheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

Zhao Liusi realized that he was speechless, but he simply broke the jar and broke it, trying to reverse this stubborn old antique, "If there are flowers, you only need to fold, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." The living talent is the most important, and if you fail a great living person for the sake of the promise of the dead, won't you have a troubled conscience? ”
