Chapter Fifty-Six: Another Full Moon Night
"Godmother, you really don't know, I'm really broken now, I don't care about all these fame and fortune, besides, with my own strength, I am not the opponent of the entire Zhong family at all, and now the Zhong family, the two sons have already started a family, plus the last time the lotus was saved by their family, so ah, I can't fight against the Zhong family at all." Then, Zhuang Zhongren continued to drink tea.
Seeing such a formation, the two people who were scheming did not expect it.
So, Chu Ziliu knocked on the side, looked at Zhuang Zhongren, who pretended to be decadent, and said: "Zhongren, don't be arrogant, after all, the tiger father has no dogs, and you yourself are also a famous family, how can you give up on yourself like this, besides, there are so many people in the entire Lingyun Mountain, there are always some people who are righteous people, naturally someone will break the situation of the Zhong family's hegemony and give you justice." Zhongren, don't say it to others, at least my godmother and I are your most solid backing, you don't have any worries, my godmother and I will really spare no effort to support you. β
"Alas," Zhuang Zhongren swallowed the tea in his mouth, looked at the precious blue and white porcelain teacup, and said thoughtfully: "I have lived in Lingyun Mountain for nearly 30 years, and I can understand the sophistication and principle of dealing with things here. Those people, looking at whose power is greater, will take refuge in whom, and now our dealer is not as good as before, it has long been a sparrow at the door, and no one cares. β
With a sigh, Zhuang Zhongren continued: "Godfather and godmother, I know that you love me, you don't want to see me a big man being wronged, and you want to help me take back everything I deserve, I understand and am grateful for such kindness." However, I'm not afraid of godfather and godmother jokes, now I'm really a lost dog, I don't have any mind at all, and I don't have any fighting spirit to fight. I'm just messing around now, thinking about how I can have more fun, how to have more fun, and then, honoring my godfather and godmother, and living an ordinary life with my daughter-in-law who is not very sensible but is still good to me, I don't care about the rest of the things. β
"But, Zhongren, your godmother and I will really help you," Chu Ziliu was anxious, he saw that Zhuang Zhongren at this time was so decadent, and he completely lost the grudge against the Zhong family when they met on the first day, such a situation was extremely unfavorable to his plan, so he hurriedly said.
"I received the godfather and godmother's wishes, but the disputes are too physically and mentally exhausting, and I am tired of coping with them, always thinking about staying out of the matter, how can I pull the godfather and godmother in and be disturbed in vain. Zhuang Zhongren still looked indifferent to fame and fortune, thinking to himself, hmph, you let me take the bait, I have my own way.
"But" Chu Ziliu still wanted to try his best, but at this moment, Shen Shuiji spoke:
"Master, your tea is cold, I'll go and pour you a new one. After speaking, he snatched the teacup from Chu Ziliu's hand fiercely.
At this time, Chu Ziliu remembered that Shen Shuiji had explained to himself before that he should not talk too much, so he realized that he might have said the wrong thing, so he immediately shut up.
The three of them talked about some innocuous gossip again, and then Zhuang Zhongren got up and said goodbye.
Looking at Zhuang Zhongren's distant back, Chu Ziliu had a look of resentment.
"This Zhuang Zhongren, toasting and not eating and drinking, I don't know what to do at all, we help him like this, he still can't support the wall with mud, alas. β
"Master," Shen Shuiji's face was calm, and there was a slight mockery in his tone: "I said a long time ago that this Zhuang Zhongren seems to be simple-minded, but there are also a lot of ghost ideas. He called us godfather and godmother, just to win our trust and then make good use of our casino to make himself happy, which is simply a delaying tactic. Now, as soon as we present our plan, he naturally shows his fox's tail. So, sir, for this Zhuang Zhongren, we still can't take it lightly. In this way, I don't think we need to give him face anymore, and in two days, I will call those casino masters, let him go bankrupt, and then rob his house earlier. β
However, "Seeing that he was busy with work, only getting a house, and not realizing the idea of dominating Lingyun Mountain that he had fantasized about countless times, Chu Ziliu, who was full of small peasant consciousness, was really unwilling: "Ai Concubine, how can we have a better foothold on this Lingyun Mountain?"
Shen Shuiji naturally knew what Chu Ziliu was thinking, so he said: "Master, don't worry, I naturally have a way." You think, we got the banker's yard, and then we can be regarded as having a decent foothold on this mountain, and then, I will help you step by step to become the overlord of this Lingyun Mountain, and finally be able to sit on an equal footing with that Zhong Dusk Mountain, and at that time, the lotus flower is also in our bag. β
Although Chu Ziliu was skeptical about Shen Shuiji's words, at this moment, he had no other choice than to believe in this woman who seemed to be really omnipotent.
That night, Shen Shuiji saw Chu Ziliu, who was sleeping like a dead pig beside him, and his heart was infinitely disgusted. Yes, she is young and good-looking, if it weren't for money, she would definitely not have put up with such a person sleeping soundly by her pillow.
This disgust became even stronger as Chu Ziliu snored louder and louder, so Shen Shuiji couldn't bear it anymore, got up, and then walked to the window.
Shen Shuiji looked at the night sky, today is the full moon, and the moon in the sky is round and bright, it is really beautiful.
In such a quiet night, it seems that all the intrigues, calculations, and countless deceit should be put aside, and such a moment should be enjoyed with such a heart.
However, Shen Shuiji is no longer a girl who always has poetic love words, in the face of such a night, she is not thinking about the romance of those ups and downs, nor the lover who has not yet returned to the king, but how to step on Lingyun Mountain under her feet, and how to realize her long-cherished wish.
She did this, ostensibly for Chu Ziliu, but in essence, for herself.
After all, this young girl has experienced too many misfortunes, after all, everything on Lingyun Mountain owes her too much.
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Shen Shuiji suddenly thought about it.
As a result, a strange smile floated on her lips, and it was this smile that made the originally peaceful and quiet night unpeaceful.
is also not calm, and there is also the Murong family.
It's a full moon night again.
It's time for the little junior sister Murong Yan to heal again.
The original Yan'er was always worried that the days would pass too quickly, and it didn't take long for the full moon to be the day, which meant that she had to experience the pain of healing, but with the passage of time and the growth of age, Yan'er seemed to have looked down on all this, especially when the senior sister Murong Wan'er got married, Yan'er had a deep sense of guilt, so for the pain of healing, she thought it was a kind of God's punishment for herself, so she accepted it indifferently.
In another hour, I will be in the secret room again.
In fact, since childhood, there is nothing to prepare, Yan'er is like a lamb to the slaughter, meekly and obediently entering the secret room, obeying fate, more precisely, obeying the master's domination of herself.
Yan'er looked at her white hair and was distracted.
At this time, Murong Kun came.
"Yan'er," he exclaimed, feigned enthusiasm.
Yan'er looked up and saw that it was the second senior brother, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.
Since the matter of the senior sister, Yan'er has been disgusted with this Murong Kun, although the choice was made by herself, but, in Yan'er's opinion, Murong Kun is the thread of the whole tragedy. So, in the days that followed, Yan'er was also wary of the second senior brother.
"Second Senior Brother, is there anything wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, don't you go into the secret room to heal, I'll come and ask you. Murong Kun said hypocritically.
"Well, thank you, Second Senior Brother. Yan'er also said perfunctorily.
Murong Kun looked at Yan'er's snow-white hair, and then said with a look of regret: "Yan'er, it's a pity, you are only less than twenty years old, you have such white hair, if you can have black and long hair like Senior Sister, I am sure that you are a hundred times more beautiful than Senior Sister, and Senior Brother will not turn a blind eye to you." β
Yan'er knew that this Murong Kun didn't have any good intentions, he deliberately mentioned Senior Sister and Senior Brother in front of him.
So, Yan'er said angrily: "Second Senior Brother, I appreciate your kindness. If nothing else, please go back first. β
Seeing that Yan'er had given an eviction order, Murong Kun hurriedly restrained a lot. Then he said with a smiling face: "Yan'er, why are you angry, I'll just talk about it casually." β
Seeing that Yan'er's face was not as angry as before, Murong Kun began to say again: "But, Yan'er, after so many years, has your injury improved?"
Murong Kun's words made Yan'er not know what to say.
Yes, I have been healing since I was a baby waiting to be fed, but what kind of poison did I have? Why do I not feel much on weekdays, but after each treatment, I feel weaker.
Seeing that Yan'er was distracted, Murong Kun knew that his words touched Yan'er's weakness, so he continued: "Yan'er, every time Master heals you, what is he doing?"
"I don't remember, every time I go into the secret room, I don't know anything. β
"That's because Master knocked you unconscious. β
"Maybe Master is afraid that I will hurt. β
"Hmph," Hearing Yan'er's innocent words, Murong Kun couldn't help but sneer.
"Yan'er, you are really too naΓ―ve, how do you know that the master is afraid that you will be hurt?"
"What's that for?" asked Yan'er, puzzled.
"Have you ever thought about it," Murong Kun leaned into Yan'er's ear and said mysteriously, "It's very likely that Master doesn't want you to know something." β
"What do you know?" Yan'er didn't understand even more.
"Yan'er, do you really not know or pretend to be confused, you think, all the people don't know what kind of poison you have, and every time you heal, the master is alone, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, why is it so mysterious?"
Yan'er didn't speak.
"Yan'er, why is it that every time you heal, your spirit is worse, not as good as before?"
"I," Yan'er slurred, to be honest, Murong Kun's confusion was also hers.
"Yan'er, have you ever wondered if the master is making trouble?"
Yan'er's eyes widened in surprise.
"But how do I know? Every time I enter the secret room, I don't know anything. Yan'er said helplessly.
"Yan'er, do you really want to know how the master healed you in the secret room?" Murong Kun asked tentatively.
Yan'er nodded earnestly.
Actually, it's not that hard. Murong Kun wanted to speak and stopped.
"Second Senior Brother, are you going to say it quickly?" Yan'er was anxious.
"Yan'er, though, I have one condition. Murong Kun said suddenly.
