As soon as these words came out, the room seemed to fall into a very tacit silence, and dust was dancing through the afterglow of dusk, and then Chu Nian realized that she had been circling with those foxes in the court for a whole day.

After a while, the side seemed to be thawing ice, and he smiled slightly before he said, "Then, should I call you Chu Nian or Su Nian?" ”

Chu Nian's face was stunned, and after a while, she gently put down the teacup, looked out the window intently, and said, "I am Chu Nian, and I have always been." ”

Dark Rin half-lowered his eyes: "Then I am Dark Rin." ”

The atmosphere fell silent again, and Chu Nian also fell into her own thoughts, she can be sure that the dark rin is the sound of water, and the sound of the water is also the dark rin now, whether it is from age or appearance, it can be determined that the little sound of water back then has grown into the scheming dark rin now, but what has he experienced to grow into the dark rin he is now.

"You can clearly blame Shen Ruan's death on me today, is it because of the name Shui Yin, so you have mercy?"

Chu Nian looked stunned, she turned her eyes stiffly, and then looked at a pair of gray-white eyes with a smile, compared to the cold ridicule above the court, now, the familiar warmth in those gray-white eyes almost covered people.

Just like last time, Su Nian had no choice but to accompany his father to leave General Huaihua's mansion, the little helpless figure guarding the door, and the beautiful eyes that were a little pleading.

"Sister Su Nian, don't go, okay......"

Chu Nian suddenly withdrew from her memories, she picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the unrest in her heart: "No, I just don't want to be an enemy of the old people." ”

There seemed to be a hint of amusement in the man's eyes: "You are Chu Nian, I am Dark, how can you get the affection of the old man?" ”

At the end, he stood up, and there was a clear look in his eyes, "That's it, what I want to know, I already understand, disturb the county lord." ”

Looking at the cold and detached handsome face, a trace of distress flashed in Chu Nian's heart, and the words that had been hovering in his throat blurted out: "Shui Yin, I have always treated you as my own brother." ”

The silver-white figure who walked to the door suddenly stopped, he didn't look back, and a hoarse and strange voice fell: "The county lord said and laughed, in this world, there has been no water sound for a long time, since the day my grandfather died, the water sound has died, and now standing in front of you is Dark." ”

"Water ......" Chu Nian frowned, and as soon as he spit out a word, the silver-white figure had disappeared at the door, just like when he came, leaving no trace.

Chu Nian suddenly understood the purpose of the dark rin.

He wanted more than the life of the Wang family, the enemy who killed his grandfather.

Chu Yuanlang's voice sounded from outside the door: "Sister? ”

Chu Nian came back to his senses slightly, the handsome young man was already standing in front of Chu Nian, he looked at Chu Nian with some concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you, are you tired of dealing with those people today?" ”

Looking at Chu Yuanlang, who had grown up in front of him, Chu Nian shook his head lightly: "It's okay." ”

At this point, Chu Yuanlang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay if my sister is fine, I haven't been able to interject this morning, and I haven't been able to help my sister......"

Chu Nian smiled lightly, and couldn't help but reach out and rub Chu Yuanlang's head, "It's okay, what you have to do now is to protect the Chu family and protect yourself, my sister has no worries, it's fine." ”

"Huh? Brother-in-law? ”

Seeing Chu Yuanlang looking behind him, Chu Nian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the man had been standing in place at some point, and a pair of narrow eyes were looking at him inquiringly.

Chu Nian knew that this person had something to ask him, so he had to helplessly reach out and gently tap on Chu Yuanlang's forehead: "Don't scream." ”

Only then did Ming Xiu stiffly burst into a smile: "Yuan Lang can be called however he wants." ”

Chu Yuanlang stuck out his tongue, stood in place and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, since my sister is fine, I will leave first and not disturb the two." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yuanlang got another burst from Chu Nian, and hurriedly escaped.

Chu Nian looked at Ming Xiu with a serious expression, but saw the man's complicated face, "How long have you been here?" ”

Ming Xiu shook his head: "It didn't take long for me to hear those two words. ”

Those two words? Chu Nianhu glanced at him suspiciously, turned around and picked up a new tea cup, and poured it again, "What do you mean...... The sound of water? ”

Ming Xiu didn't speak, he looked fixedly at the pair of plain white slender jade hands, and sat down not far from her side.

Pushed the teacup that had just been used far away.

Chu Nian caught a glimpse of his movements, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Vinegar jar." ”

Ming Xiu frowned, didn't speak, and waited for the new teacup to be put down beside him, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but after a while, he spit out the teacup back with a "phew": "Biluochun? ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and then heard Ming Xiu's voice from the other side: "It's better to have dragon buds." ”

couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, Chu Niancai sat beside him, frowned slightly, and said, "Secretly ...... him"

"Is that the brother you mentioned to me earlier?"

Chu Nian's face was stunned, he didn't expect Ming Xiu's memory to be so good.

"That illegitimate son of General Huaihua's mansion?"

Chu Nian nodded silently, since he knew everything, there was no need for her to explain again.

After a while, Ming Xiu frowned slightly: "Then why did he target you?" ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly: "I don't know much about this, but if I can know the truth about the death of General Huaihua back then, I think everything will fall into place." ”

"What do you mean......"

Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly: "I suspect that the death of General Huaihua back then was not simple, and we don't know what else is inside." ”

When General Huaihua died, he only said that he died of illness, but he did not say what kind of disease it was, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and Su's father only knew that General Huaihua was sick, but he had not been able to make time to visit, and the matter was put on hold for the time being, but he didn't expect that when Su's father was done, the news of General Huaihua's death had already come.

Back then, Su's father regretted this for a long time, and then all kinds of conflicts broke out with the Wang family, and there was no time to take care of General Huaihua's family.

Not to mention, find the news of the little water sound.

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes and looked at the scattered tea leaves floating on the teacup in his hand, and his face was slightly flushed with a little visible pink.

Ming Xiu glanced at her sideways, then withdrew his gaze and looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Fang Cai's silver disappeared.

After a while, he got up and said: "Today's matter, just leave it to me to investigate, you have been paying attention recently, today asked Shen Du to pretend to be dead and escape, I am afraid that he will do whatever it takes to come." ”

Looking at the long and narrow eyes that were slightly worried, Chu Nian's heart warmed, and he nodded and said, "Well, okay." ”

……

Shen family, ancestral hall.

Shen Du looked at the two tablets in front of him expressionlessly, "Father, mother, and children are not filial, and they failed to protect their sister well, but they blame my sister for being too willful, and they clearly know that Emperor Shangao is far ......away."

"Brother Shen, isn't he still obsessed?"

A voice sounded from behind Shen Dui, Shen Dui frowned and turned around, and saw Liu Qi walking into the ancestral hall like a stream, he lit the three incense sticks next to the incense burner, bowed to the two tablets, and inserted the incense candle into the incense burner.

Shen Dui looked at him in disbelief before he said coldly, "Why is General Liu here?" Aren't you afraid that the county lord will think that you and I will unite again and be angry with you? ”

Liu Qi's face was slightly stunned, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Why does Lord Shen think of people so narrowly? ”

Pushing away Liu Qi, who was standing in front of his parents' tablet, Shen Duan smiled coldly, pulled out the three incense candles inserted in the incense burner, and immediately threw them on the ground.

"General Liu is the best at acting like this, this incense, the contemptible parents dare not bear it, lest they accept the incense, and then be stabbed in the back by General Liu in hell......"

Liu Qi's face turned cold: "I just reminded Lord Shen of my friendship in the past today, but I didn't expect Lord Shen to be so ignorant." ”

"Don't know how to lift?" Shen Du smiled, "Return this to General Liu, General Liu should not forget, who recommended you to Wang Zixuan back then, so that you got your current status." ”

Liu Qi pursed his thin lips, he remembered the mistakes he made in the past, and suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart, he shook his head, put his memory behind, and then turned his eyes to look at Shen Du and said: "If you are polite, I don't want to say it again, now that I have left my words here, the favor has been returned, whether to listen or not to listen, it is Lord Shen's own business." ”

Shen Duan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked gloomily at Liu Qi in front of him.

"The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, as a bystander, I have witnessed the confession between you and the Wushuang County Lord today, but I think that it is not the Wushuang County Lord who really benefits from this battle, nor is it you."

Although he knew that Shen Duan would not listen to his words, Liu Qi still wanted to speak.

Before Shen Duan could speak again, Liu Qi continued: "The person who really benefits is Dark Rin. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Dui's face was stunned, and after a while, he heard Liu Qi's voice sound again: "Lord Shen, who told you that Shen Erniang was killed by the Wushuang County Lord?" ”

Shen Dui's lips squirmed for a moment: "Dark." ”

Liu Qi looked at Shen Duan, and a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Dark Rin told you this, is there any evidence?" ”

After listening to Liu Qi's words, Shen Duan's eyes suddenly brightened.

When Dark Rin said that Shen Ruan was killed, he subconsciously thought that Shen Ruan was killed by Chu Nian, and even Dark Rin specially reminded him that this time was an opportunity to bring Chu Nian down, but when he got to the court, Chu Nian inexplicably had the opportunity to bring Dark Rin out.

As a result of this war, Chu Nian had already pushed Shen Ruan's black cauldron on his body, but Dark Rin was able to show his face in the public court, and now almost everyone knows that there is a capable person next to the Queen Mother, named Dark Rin.

And he had to pretend to be sick to escape this farce.

Anyway, he killed his sister himself, who would really care about his guilt?

A hint of resentment flashed in Shen Du's eyes: "What do you mean, Dark Rin is actually the same as Chu Nian?" ”

Liu Qi looked at Shen Du with a serious face and said, "I don't know, but it is true that someone has seen this afternoon, secretly in and out of the Chu family. ”

"So...... Dark Rin has been using me all along? Whether it's divorce or ......"

Liu Qi shook his head, "That's all I can analyze, Brother Shen is smarter than me, I believe Brother Shen won't be unable to figure it out." ”
