Chapter 5: Dissecting the Truth and Seeking Revenge (I)
Looking at the table full of her preferred flavors, Xue Niang's eyes were hot.
My brother came to Gangneung and said that he had brought her favorite sauce recipe; When her husband was alive, she thought she loved all Su Bang dishes; The son is still young, and he thought that if he put more sugar, he would be able to win her favor...... No one can order her a table of her favorite dishes.
Unexpectedly, today, she saw this person, it was Ah Cheng.
Why does he remember? He walked so freely back then, she thought he didn't remember anything anymore.
Xue Niang looked up at Shen Cheng, the years seemed to have left traces on his face, but there didn't seem to be. He poured a glass of wine for her and handed it to her face, "The wine is warm, you are warm." ”
She took it, but didn't drink it, "Hot filial piety, it's inconvenient." ”
She saw him pause for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "It's mine, I forgot." He said that he hurried to retrieve the wine handed to her, and she reached out and pressed the cup, "No. ”
The two hands rested on the wine cup that contained seven minutes of warm wine, and looked at each other but said nothing.
After a while, Shen Cheng spit out two words, "Festival mourning." ”
She nodded, and the two fell silent again. The wind outside was blowing the wine flags, and she looked back at the dinner table, "How did you know I was coming?" ”
He said that it was not difficult, "Jiangling is the territory of the Tu family, and I appeared in Jiangling with a sword on my back, how could you not know?" I just didn't expect you to come so quickly. ”
He had always been so sober, just as he knew his identity in such situations, and could negotiate with his clan, and ask for a sword and her; Just like the day she made an appointment with him to leave the Shen family, the people in the clan shouted against him, he knew that he couldn't stay, and destroyed the century-old gatehouse of the Gusu Shen family with a sword.
It's just that he was so sober, why did he ask her why when she asked him to leave his sword and go with him by himself?
Why, isn't it obvious? Even if she didn't say it, he should have thought of it!
The thing in her sleeve caused her wrist to feel slightly uncomfortable, and she retracted her thoughts, "It's been more than ten years, and you're still the same as before." ”
He smiled, "I'm old, you've lost weight." ”
Xue Niang shook her head, "I'm also old, and now my son is the head of the Tu family." ”
She raised her eyes to look at Shen Cheng, and seeing that Shen Cheng's gaze also fell on her face, she laughed at herself, "I don't know how long he can be the head of the family." ”
She saw the surprise that flashed in Shen Cheng's eyes, she probably didn't expect that she would say this!
He has always been so free and easy, he doesn't live for anyone, how can he know the sadness of these people who are rolling in the red dust?
She didn't wait for Shen Cheng to speak, and said, "My brother, the head of the family, is not good, so naturally he can't protect us." ”
Shen Cheng was silent, without Fang Cai's smile, her shallow smile was cold, she smiled suddenly, and didn't mention it anymore, "Ah Cheng," she called him, "Let's change the table of vegetarian dishes." ”
This voice blocked his coldness from continuing to spread, he looked over, and after a while, he got up, "Okay." ”
He turned around with the sword on his back, she sat in the hall, the wine flag outside the door was still scraped and fluttering, she watched quietly, calmed down, and pinched the falling thing in her sleeve......
Not long after, Shen Cheng came back, she took his wine cup and poured wine for him, "You have a drink, Jiangling is very cold today." ”
His gaze fell on the wine cup in her hand for a moment, she looked over, he closed his gaze, and regained his gentleness, "It's okay, thank you Xue Niang." ”
She poured a shallow cup and handed it to him, he smiled and said, "Why did Xue Niang pour me so little?" ”
Xue Niang paused for a moment and took over, "The food is not served, drink less." ”
"So little, I drank it all in one sip."
Drink it all in one gulp, more simply, and those grievances and grievances will be over. She thought.
He lived up to her expectations, pinched the wine glass and brought it to the tip of his nose, "Baiyun brew!" ”
Baiyun brewing is a special wine in Jingzhou, she nodded, wanting to urge him to drink it, but at the end of the words, her heart suddenly surged unwillingly, and the words on her lips suddenly changed, "After you left, did you regret it?" ”
She saw that he was stunned, and her heart rolled, "More than ten years have passed, I don't want to live in the unknown, I just ask why you changed your hexagram in battle, why don't you want to give up your sword and take me away?" ”
Xu mentioned the year that changed the fate of many people, his eyes wandered a little, smelling the aroma in the wine cup, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Why does Xue Niang think that I am changing my fortune on the verge of battle? Where does this hexagram come from? ”
She also frowned, her eyes fixed on him, "You take me away, and then take away the sword that belongs to my brother, the head of the family, what should I do with my father and brother?" Didn't my brother say hello to you and let you keep the sword and ruin the reputation of the clan? He persuaded me to stay, and I thought what would you do if I stayed? On that day, I asked you to leave the sword, and I went with you, I was already determined to abandon my parents and brothers, but I didn't expect that you would rebel and ask for a sword! I have no choice but to persecute you, but you're good, just leave......"
As she spoke, years of confusion and grievances rose from the bottom of her heart, and tears fell from her eyes.
"You're always so carefree, you don't care about anyone......"
"Snow Lady?" Shen Cheng interrupted her, "What are you talking about?" When did I promise Shen Tan to exchange a sword for you? From beginning to end, there was none! ”
Xue Niang's heart was shocked when she heard this, "No? My brother said he did! ”
She distinguished, but saw a wry smile on the corner of Shen Cheng's mouth, looking into her eyes, "What if he lied?" ”
"Lying?" Xue Niang's brain was coaxing, and the once confused, suspicious, and unconfirmed things jumped out like gunpowder, deafeningly-——
How did Ah Cheng get in front of her, and who didn't let her tell Ah Cheng who she was, and why she suddenly got food poisoning on the day she settled the sword man, and he not only let him get the sword back, but also persuaded her to stay and let Ah Cheng leave alone......
It turns out that her brother-in-law hates Ah Cheng like this, and uses her to contain and retaliate against Ah Cheng like this?
In front of the gatehouse, he said: "Xue Niang, my brother knows that you will definitely be able to do it." ”
Xue Niang laughed, and hot water gushed out of her eyes that had been dry for many days, which was bitter.
She, trying so hard, hasn't been able to do it yet!
So now, she's doing it for him again!
Xue Niang was sober and in a trance, until she heard Ah Cheng's sudden words, "Xue Niang, I, Shen Cheng, use this wine as proof!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he pinched the wine glass and brought it to his mouth, tilted his head, and drank it.
"Don't drink!" Xue Niang was shocked and reached out to knock off the wine cup, which was already empty.
The wine was poisoned to her by Shen Tan, saying that as long as Ah Cheng drank it, she would immediately fall to the ground in a coma, and the ancient sword would also return to the hands of the head of the Shen family in Gusu!
Can ...... now Shen Tan will not let go of Ah Cheng!
She immediately got up and was about to slap out the poisonous wine that Ah Cheng had just swallowed with one palm, not wanting her to be carried by the ancient sword behind Ah Cheng's back before she could make a move, and the next breath hit Ah Cheng's back!
Xue Niang didn't have time to be surprised that the ancient sword miracle appeared again, only to see Shen Cheng squirt out a mouthful of wine, she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw that in addition to the wine, there was also blood.
Shen Cheng fell to the ground with a bang, spitting out the blood in his red eyes in a big gulp, and he gasped, "This poison ...... More powerful than I thought ......"
Xue Niang pounced on him, "No, Ah Cheng! He said it was a drug! ”
Shen Cheng shook his head, but he couldn't speak.
There were voices coming from outside the door, accompanied by sneers and mockery.
"Drugged? Scold! ”
