CHAPTER XXIX

Shutan walked out of the ancestral hall, and drop after drop of cold rain slapped on her face.

The spring rain moistened the growth of all things, but at this moment she felt that it was only like opening a hole in her heart, and the cold rain poured straight into it.

Her head was groggy all the time, and she couldn't tell if she was awake or in a dream, until she walked along the road for a while, and a strong arm pulled her over.

She was even stunned for a moment before she turned her head to see Song Shuyu.

His head was furrowed, his brow bones were as dark and cold as tonight, but his eyes were faintly burning, and the rain was falling on him, drops of water down his black hair to the hem of his clothes.

"What's the matter, why did you come home so late?"

There was a cold sense of alienation in his words, like a cold wind in the wilderness.

Shu Tan lowered his head in silence and did not speak.

Song Shuyu used loose sleeves to shield Shutan from the drizzle, he took big steps and walked fast, and even Shutan had a hard time following him.

He was really not in a good mood, and he felt abandoned.

"I heard you're getting married?" Song Shuyu spoke lightly, took the key and opened the lock with a click, and stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door.

Shu Tan was stunned, she just knew, how could he ......

"What are you still doing there, in the rain?"

Song Shuyu stood on the other side of the door, looking at her with faint eyes, as if she was angry.

Shu Tan didn't know why, and felt that his words and actions were particularly fierce tonight.

She couldn't stand it anymore, and all the inexplicability and grievances collapsed and collapsed.

There was a sour nose, and tears mixed with rain converged, and they flowed down with each other. She really couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't help herself, and Shu Tan sobbed one by one.

She couldn't tell why, life was about to be a mess, and he still spoke coldly.

Looking at Shutan's aggrieved little face, Song Shuyu was startled.

He only thought that his words were inappropriate, which frightened her, and the original cold eyes turned into a soft drizzle at this time, and the sullenness in his heart disappeared in an instant.

hurriedly walked over and led Shutan into the courtyard, and Song Shuyu locked the courtyard door.

He took her by the arm and went into the room, lit the oil lamp, took the cloth and coat, and handed it to the desk in front of Shutan.

Shu Tan took it silently and carefully wiped the rain off his forehead.

Song Shuyu shrugged her shoulders, feeling uncomfortable, and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I, I'm just ......"

"The master said that he wanted me to marry...... Shu Tan opened his mouth, as if whispering to himself.

Her voice was choked, and her expression was hidden in the candle flame, a small ball, like a helpless, lonely child.

"Well, you ......"

"Shuyu...... The old man said, saying that I am not his child, yes, someone else has changed it......" Shutan's eyes were full of water, and his eyes were as red as a rabbit.

Hearing this, Song Shuyu looked up at her in surprise.

"You say, I, what should I do, they are going to abandon me, they are going to marry me......"

Even if she is not blessed with the grace of her parents, she wants to live a good and ordinary life.

But what do you mean by those words?

Blame her? What is her to blame?

She obviously just lived carefully and grew up carefully.

Or is it a sin to live? It's like those street rats living in the dark and dirty, and they haven't had time to take a look at the colorful yellow dogs outside.

Accustomed to living a free life, Shutan suddenly has a sense of powerlessness and hesitation to be driven away by fate, as if it is impossible to disobey, what kind of fate is born determines what kind of life path.

Shu Tan closed his eyes and choked up and said, "...... Actually, it's pretty good, he asked me to marry me, and he always felt that I owed something to the Lu family. ”

Fate is born, and if you want to get rid of fate, you only have yourself, not others.

As if to enlighten himself, Shu Tan muttered: "If that man is irritable and impermanent, I will follow his heart in everything, if he treats me gently and politely, I will also raise my eyebrows, how can I live or not!" ”

Once this idea is rooted and sprouted, the follow-up will be like a vine spreading unbridled.

"If one day he gets tired of me, I will lower my eyebrows and find a concubine for him, and if the concubine is a little messy, I will also be happy to find a nun in the nunnery......"

Song Shuyu was shocked in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water, and his hands and feet were cold.

It seems that he really saw through it, and Shu Tan even felt a sense of relief, like the pleasure of escaping the quagmire.

"Shuyu, I'm ......"

"What about me? So just throw me away? Song Shuyu interrupted her endless imagination.

He tilted his head to look at her, his eyes staring coldly.

He had just found a place to stay, and then he was about to be lost again.

Shu Tan raised her eyes to look at him, and his eyes made her mind empty. She choked in her throat and could no longer speak.

Obviously, she had just figured it out in her heart, but when she looked up and saw Song Shuyu's eyes, she felt that she had done something wrong.

Why?

There was a sudden cool touch on his face, and Shutan retracted his thoughts.

Song Shuyu squatted in front of her, raising her hand to wipe her tears.

His hands were delicate, cold fingers, moving slowly, stubbornly rubbing and rubbing on her face.

He whispered as if helpless: "Don't cry, if you lose it, I'll lose it." But you won't be left behind, I'll be with you secretly. ”

-

Liu walked around the room with excitement on his face.

Lu Changyu sat on the chair with his fingers and looked at her, frowning.

"Mother, if Lu Shutan wasn't born to her father, how could her father raise her so big, I don't think I can believe what the person in charge says!"

She felt that her mother was stunned, and she was convinced of the kind of nonsense that the steward had just come to say.

"You little girl, what do you know!" Liu Shi walked over and tapped Chang Yu's head with his finger in amusement.

"Didn't Zhang say it! Your father was in trouble at the time, and at this glance, the master is just like this to this Qin girl...... Steward Zhang has been following the master all day long, and what he heard must be right! What do you say? ”

"The old slave thinks it should also be ......," said Granny Jin Zhi bowed her head on the side.

"In those days, the courtyard of the Qin girl was well guarded...... At that time, even Chunzhi was not waiting for him, and on weekdays, he was guarded there by one mother-in-law from the Qin Mansion one after another. Now that I think about it, it's really weird......"

Liu couldn't help but stand up and stepped forward to take the hand of Jinzhi's mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law also thinks so?" Then it seems that he didn't run! ”

Her hand clenched the handkerchief tightly, and now she was also restless: "Thinking about when I was in Wenli, that Xu Wenjue used such words to talk about Chang Yu, and now Chang Yu is the only one who comes out, I see who dares to talk nonsense." ”

Her eyes shimmered, and she smiled on her lips: "It's a pity Shutan, I should have been born by that fox, no wonder her appearance is not at all similar to Shuhuai......"

As she spoke, the Liu family actually took pity on Shutan, she used to make a lot of fun of her, but now that she thinks about it, she is just carrying the blame for others.

The world is really unfathomable, she was still a young lady of the Lu family before, and now she can only be hastily married off by the Lu family, I don't know if she can still stand it in the future.
