Chapter 18 The Next Step

Xu Sheng's back looked very lonely.

It's a fart in front of the family. Xu Sheng knew that he couldn't even grasp his own fate, let alone take care of others.

At this moment, Xu Sheng's heart only has deep powerlessness and deep sadness, this feeling, just like when he knew that his parents were dead, the pain was extreme and painful to the bone marrow.

People are sad and mourning,

All things come before you.

Alone with withered grass,

Why don't you mind if you have no time to take care of yourself?

Xu Sheng chanted loudly, expressing the depression in his heart; The second is to persuade himself that he has nothing to do with this matter and does not need to intervene.

"Miss ——!"

A terrible scream sounded in the empty and quiet house, and it was Peony's howl.

"Not good!"

Xu Sheng's brain went blank in an instant, his heart suddenly tightened, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string, and the strength of his whole body was mobilized, and he jumped out of the door in one step, kicking open the door.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Sheng was so eager. Before he could figure out the situation, he stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but shout.

"Sir-sir——!" After two long tears, Peony covered her face and came out, her body was almost unstable, and she whimpered and said, "Sir, you are ...... Come in and have a look, miss, she ......."

Without hesitation, before Peony finished speaking, Xu Sheng rushed into the inner room. There, a thin, beautiful woman was lying limply on her side on the ground, a faint hint of bright red hanging from her mouth, and a jade wine glass the size of a thumb was placed on the table.

However, Xu Sheng knew that Xu Lizi did not drink.

Take poison!

Without thinking about it, Xu Sheng already had a guess, he hurriedly squatted down and picked up Xu Lizi. At this time, it doesn't matter what is different between men and women. Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, spent all his strength, and ran desperately.

Fortunately, Xu Sheng knew where the medical hall was. He didn't know what poison Xu Lizi had taken, and he didn't know anything about medical skills, so the only way to do this was to send Xu Lizi to the doctor as soon as possible.

There is no need to find someone to help, Xu Sheng is confident, and now his foot strength is far beyond the reach of others. There is enough effort to find someone, enough for him to get out of two miles, and asking for help is nothing more than a waste of time.

Moreover, Xu Sheng has his own considerations. The eldest lady of the Xu family committed suicide by taking poison, and it is not good to hear it after all, and the less one knows, Xu Lizi will have more face.

......

The doctors of the Xu family are all very famous doctors in Zhongzhou, and there are even two former royal doctors in them, so it is needless to say that the level is needless to say. With the efforts of a group of people, it took a lot of effort and a whole day to finally pull Xu Lizi back from the edge of death.

Xu Sheng watched from the side, staring at it for a whole day. He couldn't even blink his eyes a few times, although he knew that it was useless to look at it, but how could he look away!?

Seeing that Xu Lizi's breathing gradually stabilized, and her face was a little bloody, Xu Sheng's hanging heart could be reluctantly put down. He let out a long breath, his spirit suddenly relaxed, and his whole body seemed to collapse, leaning against the corner of the wall and slumping down.

Xu Lizi can be regarded as making a big wave this time, although the subordinates almost don't know, but how can the high-level hide it?

On Xu Lizi's side, there were more than a dozen people standing sparsely, the largest with gray hair, and the youngest had to be in his forties, needless to say, these people were the people in power of the Xu family.

Now, they all looked unkind, and there was no concern in their eyes when they looked at Xu Lizi, only anger.

The marriage of the Liu and Xu families is far more important in their eyes than the death and life of a woman of the same clan.

Xu ...... Xu Sheng, right, you did a good job this time, you can go back, the Xu family will not treat you badly. An old man spoke, without raising his eyes, waved his hand, and motioned for Xu Sheng to leave quickly.

"Yes" Seeing Xu Lizi's turn from danger to safety, Xu Sheng felt a lot more relieved, stood up and saluted, and turned around and retreated.

"Ahh

Xu Sheng, who walked out of the medical hall, sighed long, although Xu Lizi's life was saved, the future was really worrying. Xu Sheng never imagined that Xu Lizi would have such a strong personality under her seemingly weak appearance.

But what's the use of being strong? In the Xu family's high gate, being strong may still be a disaster.

What to do?

Xu Sheng knows his own insignificance, according to the attitude of the Xu family, the marriage between the Liu and Xu families is a certainty, how can he be shaken by a small person?

Born in the yellow meadow,

Dirty crawling everywhere.

Drinking water from the canal,

Hidden in the mountain dam.

I also want to fight,

However, the roots are deep.

You can only go with the wind,

Kill all in the autumn place.

Xu Sheng thinks that he is like "dry grass", and in front of the "gale" of the Xu family, he seems to have only obedience. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits him is destruction.

"Maybe ......!"

Xu Sheng had a bold idea, he secretly clenched his fists, and said in his heart: If he really got to that point, he could only do that.

"Fool"

The strange man hiding in the depths of the forbidden land witnessed everything and smiled disdainfully.

Three days later, Xu Lizi woke up and returned to the "Xiaoxiao Pavilion". A few days later, Peony came to the door and told Xu Sheng that the eldest lady was invited.

Xu Sheng is so concerned, why can't he go?

After a simple cleanup, Xu Sheng and Peony went on the road together, but after a short journey, he felt that he had walked for a long time. At this moment, there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, one side rejoicing, and the other side sorrowful. He was both happy to see Xu Lizi at this time, but also blamed himself for being really powerless.

When they got to the ground, the peony retreated with interest. Xu Lizi was dressed very plainly, half-leaning on the table, and her face was haggard.

"Here you are, sir."

"It's coming"

Xu Lizi coughed twice in succession, wanted to get up but had no strength, smiled apologetically, and said softly: "Thanks to Mr. for rescuing me this time, otherwise I would have become a sinner of the Xu family." ”

Xu Sheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and didn't know what to say, so he chose a chair and sat by himself, his eyes deliberately not looking at Xu Lizi.

"I invited my husband here this time, one is to thank you for saving my life." Xu Lizi said, paused for a moment, and then her expression changed, "Second, I also want to ask Mr., why do you want to make your own decisions and save a person who is bent on death?" ”

"I ......"

Xu Sheng was speechless and couldn't answer.

"In this situation, I am determined not to survive, and my husband has taken the liberty of saving me, is it to make me suffer from suicide again?"

"No!" Xu Sheng jumped up suddenly, and said urgently: "Don't look for a short-term view, there is no room for tossing and turning what you are worried about." ”

"Where is the leeway?" Xu Lizi smiled bitterly, "Either submit or die, the women of the Xu family were born like this." ”

Xu Sheng was silent. Although ordinary people are also the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, after all, the family business is small, if the woman swears to death, the parents are reluctant to have children, and eighty percent will depend on the children. But the Xu family is different, the family is big, there are hundreds of people in Xu Lizi's generation alone, how many people can be heartbroken if one dies?

As far as Xu Sheng knows, Xu Lizi's biological father alone has nine children, and she is a concubine, in the eyes of a strict family, it is not worth mentioning at all. In the hundreds of years of history of the Xu family, even the descendants do not know how much they have sacrificed.

Xu Lizi has been favored far more than others over the years, although she is a young lady, she is more kind than her descendants. Just because she is really beautiful, she is very useful in the eyes of the senior management of the Xu family.

Or, it can be said that Xu Lizi was decided by the Xu family from the beginning to curry favor with the Liu family's tools.

Women, beautiful women, beautiful women born into a family, how many have become sorrowful?

"Do you really hate that son of the Liu family so much?" Xu Sheng asked cautiously. He didn't understand that such a fate should be the consciousness that a woman of the great clan must have, why Xu Lizi reacted so violently.

"Childe?" Xu Lizi smiled miserably and said coldly

"What a son, he is already a half-hundred old man, the former married my aunt, and now he is coming to humiliate me." ”

What!?

Xu Sheng suddenly felt a lightning strike. No wonder. The Xu family's practice is really shameful, let a woman less than twenty years old serve an old man of half a hundred, and Xu Lizi's aunt married first, then she can only be a concubine. What a blow this must be for a beautiful girl!

"The only way to do this is to die." Xu Lizi endured it, but she still shed tears, and said tremblingly: "Thank you Mr. for cultivation, the disciple is not talented, so I will go first." ”

"Don't!"

Peony rushed into the house and spoke out almost at the same time as Xu Sheng. She saved Xu Lizi and sobbed and said, "If Miss leaves, the peony will not live, and Miss you must not think about it." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Peony." Xu Lizi cried, "If I die, you will inevitably be implicated, but I can't stand you." ”

"Where is Miss, it is my blessing to be able to follow Miss." Peony wiped her tears, which made Xu Sheng's eyes sour.

"Please save the young lady." Peony tilted her head, looked at Xu Sheng with blank eyes, and said with a crying voice: "I'm just a maid, there's nothing I can do, but Mr. is a guest, and his identity is much more valuable than mine, so I must help Miss!" ”

"No"

Xu Lizi said with a wry smile. First, she didn't want to involve Xu Sheng; Secondly, she didn't think Xu Sheng would have anything to do. After all, although there are not many guest secretaries of the Xu family, there are dozens of them, and it is obvious that Xu Sheng is the least valued among the guest secretaries. The Xu family can even do it to their relatives, how can they listen to a guest?

"Good"

What Xu Lizi didn't expect was that Xu Sheng agreed to it, with perseverance and determination, smiled faintly, and said gently but firmly: "Since you don't want to marry, then don't marry." ”

"You're ......!"

Xu Lizi was stunned and wanted to stop it, but Xu Sheng had already left and didn't give her a chance to say a word.

Xu Sheng walked very fast, all the way to the east. He knew that there was a "Tianchi Garden" in front of him, and there was a "tombstone" in the "Tianchi Garden". That was the only way Xu Sheng could think of.

Although, it's just a bottom line.
