Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 820 I will never stop for anyone

On a winter night, the evening wind is very cool.

How does it feel to stand at the door and listen to the person you love tell the past about the girl in his heart? Shen Luoxin felt that this feeling was very subtle. If he had to use one word to describe it, it would be a mixture of five flavors.

Especially when you know that no one in this world can replace her position in his heart. You know even more clearly that not only can you not replace her, you are not even qualified to be jealous.

Although it was just a few words, Shen Luoxin could still vaguely see that kind of girl in the other party's expression. She had the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town, and she also had the pride and clear bones carved into the bones and blood by the literati. She was not strong, not clingy, and soft. , but she also has her own strength, self-respect, and self-love. No wonder Shangguan Chudu was willing to serve as his subordinate when he was young and vigorous.

But for such a girl, all her bones were pulled away and crushed one by one due to an accident...

So, she was broken, she went crazy, and in order to forget that soul-shattering experience, she stayed before that day forever.

Suddenly, Shen Luoxin understood the real reason why Shangguan Chu had insisted on being alone all these years.

It was not only the girl who was kidnapped, seriously injured, and crushed that day, but also Shangguan Chu... Shangguan Chu imprisoned himself after that day, using the ground as a prison. His wound never healed. Every year, every month, and even every day, it was torn and crushed again, and it was already bloody and bloody.

The lights in the courtyard were swaying, and her own shadow was faintly cast on the other party. She looked at the intertwining of light and shadow, and said in a low voice, "Okay," and then said, "Don't worry. Everything you said tonight... After tonight, I will forget it.”

"Thank you." He nodded, raised his chin again, and said with a gentle smile, "Go in and have a rest early." His words were less casual and unruly than usual, and more caring and distanced. .

This attitude is... different.

Shen Luoxin felt bitter in her heart, so she just nodded and said, "Slow down." After saying that, he gave a slight salute, then turned around and went inside.

After walking a few steps, the eyes on her back still didn't leave. She straightened her back subconsciously, then shook her head and smiled bitterly - so what if she straightened her back and imitated others to hold up their skirts and walk in small steps? Can she really become the eldest lady from a scholarly family? Besides, aren’t there enough eldest ladies in Jiangnan? Over the years, there was only one girl who made him want to get married at a glance!

No matter how hard he crushes his bones and reshapes himself, he is nothing more than a dog imitating others and imitating tigers.

It's better to just leave the other person tonight, bundle them together with those thoughts and stories, pack them up, and keep them in the past years!
Now that she had made up her mind, she stopped, looked up at the night sky, smiled suddenly, turned her back to the door and waved, stepped up the steps in twos and twos, and rushed out when she heard the noise. Xinyue ordered, "Go and get bath water for the girl!"

Her name is Shen Luoxin, and she is just Shen Luoxin, a rogue monkey who is still messing around in two lifetimes and cannot learn anything like Miss Qianjin, nor does she want to learn the tricks of Miss Qianjin!

"Has the girl been drinking?" Xinyue asked her, "Do you want to make some sobering soup?"

She waved her hand, "No need! Girl, I have a good drinking capacity! I'm very sober!" She has never been so sober! Shangguan Chu was willing to draw a wall as a prison, but Shen Luoxin would never stay anywhere for anyone, not even a man whose heart had fallen in love.

Xinyue frowned and looked at Shen Luoxin. After a while, she was still worried, "Miss... you look like you are drunk..." Looking so excited doesn't mean you are drunk. How can any normal person be like this? Dancing around in the middle of the night?
"I'm not drunk!"

"I heard... people who are drunk don't admit they are drunk..."

"Hurry up and get the bath water!" she yelled, and slapped the other person's head aggressively but gently, and rubbed Xinyue's hair vigorously, urging her as she walked into the house. Just as he missed his body, the corners of his mouth suddenly dropped, and his expression was lonely and depressed - there are some things where reason tells you where to go, but there is always an invisible rope pulling you in the opposite direction, and your whole person is pulling like this. Among them are fatigue, suffering and pain.

Those real sorrows will never be alleviated just because you have more sense.

She entered the house, walked to the window, quietly opened the window and looked out, just in time to see the man leaving with his hands behind his back with his eyebrows slightly lowered. The moonlight fell on him, like a silver gauze. It made him feel even more distant and cold.

I really want to take a look and see the way Shangguan Chu softens towards the person he likes...

……

When Ji Wuyan finished washing and wiping her hair and came out, she saw Ning Xiuyuan sitting by the window and flipping through a book on the small table. She walked over and lowered her head to look at it. She had not finished reading it in the past two days. He asked him, "Why are you here so late?"

Putting down the account book in his hand, Ning Xiuyuan took the handkerchief from Ji Wuyan's hand very familiarly, pressed her into a chair and helped her wipe her hair, and said with a smile, "Mom has made a friend recently, and she is at home today. Treat this little friend, no, my little friend is young, and my mother was worried about coming home alone late at night, so she arranged for me to send him back... Just in time, I also wanted to come and see you. I heard that you were here a few days ago. Went to Brother Chu’s shop to get two pieces of Yunjin?”

"No." Ji Wuyan pointed to the book, "He was so petty that he just took two pieces of cloth and sent me several account books, saying that these shops were in my name and he asked me to take care of them myself...I I’ve been watching it for two days and I haven’t finished it yet…how do you know?”

Ji Wuyan turned her head to look at him, and Ning Xiuyuan patted her head back, "Don't move...don't get involved. I met him two days ago. He mentioned this matter. There are still many accounts that he hasn't read yet. I'll hand them in later." Give it to me and I’ll take it back and look at it for you.”

"Aren't you busy?"

"It doesn't matter, I can still look at it at night. I don't need to stay with His Majesty all the time when I'm in the palace. I just have nothing to do while I'm waiting in the side hall, so I can help you read the account books."

Ji Wuyan naturally agreed happily, but still warned, "There is no need to worry about the account book. I guess my brother knows it well. Whether or not you read the account book will not have much impact. To put it bluntly, I took away two pieces of cloth from him and gave them to me." Looking for something to do! I was obviously helping him coax Luo Xin, but he repaid me with kindness."

After the little girl finished speaking, she hummed lightly with an expression of "I don't even want to argue with him." She was both coquettish and arrogant. Looking at her in the bronze mirror, she looked smart and cute.
