Chapter 771 Why Are You Telling Me This?

It was very quiet in the house.

Lingxiu knew that this was not the usual room where they, the singing and dancing musicians, lived together. It seemed to be the room where Shen Liuzhen hired the teaching maids from the palace to live in the past.

Although it shares the same yard with them, the room is well furnished, unlike the one where they live together, where more than a dozen people live in one room, except for a row of beds, a few dressers, mirrors and wardrobes, there is nothing else. something else.

When Lingxiu first came to Shen's house, she sneaked a look at this room from the window, and saw that it was carefully furnished, more like a noble lady's boudoir, and she was very envious for a long time.

She once hoped that relying on her relationship with Xie Yuan, she could live in it...

However, the housekeeper of the Shen family seemed to have got Shen Liuzhen's letter and treated her coldly, insisting that she live with other singers and dancers.

Later, when Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen came back from the south, she wanted to live in Xie Yuan's house by acting as Xie Yuan's servant girl.

However, Xie Yuan is a general, different from others, she doesn't need it.

At first, she thought it was Xie Yuan's evasive words, and she resented it in her heart for a while, only to find out later that it was true. She didn't dislike her, but really didn't need it.

Moreover, because of Xie Yuan's arrival, all the servants who used to take care of Shen Liuzhen in the main courtyard were kicked out, and only the two of them were left in the courtyard...

Lingxiu's closed eyes moved, the pain made her thoughts vain, she thought mockingly: I always wanted to live in, but I didn't succeed, but now I have been beaten, but it has fulfilled her wish.

The porcelain spoon was stirred in the soup bowl, hitting the porcelain bowl with a "ding ding ding", and Shen Liuzhen's voice came leisurely from above his head, saying:
"I know you're awake, why pretend to be asleep?"

When Lingxiu heard this, her eyeballs rolled for a while, but she still opened her eyes.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Liuzhen sitting on a round stool beside the bed, holding a medicine bowl and a spoon gracefully, and the wide sleeves and hem of his clothes all showed his dignity.

He seemed to be playing, holding a spoon and stirring the medicine bowl indiscriminately, watching the ripples in the bowl seemed very interesting.

"You want to poison me to death?" Lingxiu finally asked, her voice hoarse and indistinct from the painful cry before.

Shen Liuzhen raised his sparkling eyes halfway, as if laughing at her stupidity, sneered, and said:

"...What's the benefit of me poisoning you to death?"

Lingxiu lay on her stomach, seeing Shen Liuzhen like this, her pupils shrank, and she said with difficulty:

"Because General Xie is willing to take care of me, you have always hated me, I know."

Shen Liuzhen was still stirring the soup with a spoon, tilted his head slightly, let out an "um" from his throat, and said:

"But I'm different from you. I hate too many people. I don't necessarily have to do anything to the person I hate, unless he blocks my way or threatens me."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lingxiu again, and asked, "Do you think... have you reached this point?"

Lingxiu was stunned, watching Shen Liuzhen's eyes shaking violently, at that moment, many thoughts passed through her mind.

Shen Liuzhen casually put the bowl on the round table next to him, straightened his sleeves, and said with a smile:

"Well... I just started thinking about it now, what can you do to threaten me?"

Lingxiu was startled again, lying there, with limited vision in one eye, she couldn't hide her panic.

Shen Liuzhen put his hands on his knees, and sat upright. Coupled with his delicate face, he really looked like a gentleman, but the words he said were plain and creepy:
"I originally thought that if you told her about my plan to step Liugu Zhuyun, then you would have betrayed me and A Yuan, and A Yuan would not stop me any more, and I would save money. You are always in front of us, obstructing my eyes. But you didn't say it, it's a bit difficult..."

Lingxiu shivered involuntarily, the pain of being hit by the board was overwhelmed by the chill in her heart.

Shen Liuzhen frowned slightly, and looked at the void, as if he was really distressed, then he put his eyes on Lingxiu again, and said gently and kindly:

"I once promised you that if you do that well, I will let you out of citizenship, and you will be able to open a door and have a place. This is true, but you are a person who has the ability to know people and adapt to the situation I have my own ability, and I also have a talent that is enough to stand on. But the only thing is that I don't have a little self-awareness in doing things."

When Lingxiu heard the words "self-knowledge", she suddenly understood what Shen Liuzhen was talking about. She argued excitedly with a hoarse voice and distorted expression:
"What self-knowledge?! Just because I'm a dancer, can't I treat myself as a human being?! I'm obviously a human being, just like you noble people, just from a different background!"

Shen Liuzhen frowned, took her words very flatly, and said:
"Do you also know that it is because of different backgrounds?...People live in this world, and their backgrounds and talents are not chosen by them. It is God's will. I can understand your dissatisfaction in your heart. But if you don't have the ability to change your fate against the sky, then It's best to hold back, endure, and live the life you have... Is there anything wrong with my words?"

Lingxiu was rendered speechless by the refutation. Looking at Shen Liuzhen's clear eyes at this moment, she suddenly felt that he was an excellent, caring person again.

Lingxiu shuddered in her heart, forcing herself not to accept Shen Liuzhen's "good intentions", and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Why are you telling me this?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Liuzhen picked up the bowl of soup medicine again, held the spoon and began to stir it again, while stirring, he said casually:

"You are now under the name of A Yuan. If you really know her well, don't make trouble for her. Like today, because of you, A Yuan was implicated and criticized by others. I never want to see it a second time.

At that time, no matter how much patience A Yuan has with you, I will wipe you out... I think, you have stayed in my mansion for a long time, whether I can do what I say, you should be thinking There are many. "

After he finished speaking, he finally stopped stirring in his hands, stretched out his hand and handed the medicine bowl to Lingxiu, and said:

"The wound medicine is cold, drink it. Recently, you can live here to recuperate with peace of mind. Someone has been arranged to take care of you."

As if bewitched, Lingxiu raised her arm subconsciously and took the medicine bowl.

Shen Liuzhen stopped talking, stood up from the round stool, turned and left the room.

Lingxiu looked at the bowl of black soup, and two lines of unwilling tears fell into the bowl at once, and then her lips trembled with grievance, she brought the bowl to her mouth, and drank it "gudong gudong".
