swear not to be concubine

Chapter 72

Jian Yanyuan was still laughing at her self-righteous cleverness in her heart, but after hearing these two words from Shen Chuo, she felt ashamed and angry at the same time, and she couldn't help but let go of her face.

Obviously, Shen Chuo heard everything she said with her eyes closed and what she said to Bai Wei just now.

"Mr. Shen," so she put on a serious face, and said in a cold voice, "Please respect yourself."

Shen Chuo saw that although she spoke harshly, her pretty face was covered with a thin layer of blush starting from the ears, she was as charming as a begonia in the sun.Even when a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him, it was not at all frightening, on the contrary, it would make him feel that her eyes were rolling, and there was an indescribable charm between her anger and anger.

Shen Chuo didn't know why, but he suddenly felt his heart beating stagnantly.In order to cover up his sudden uneasiness, he immediately threw off the gilded fan that was closed in his hand, shook it slowly, did not speak, but turned his head to look at the incense table in front of the Buddha. The lotus flower in the clear water in the azure porcelain vase after the rain.

Han Ou is half-opened, extremely pink and elegant, every frown and smile is heart-stirring.

Jian Yan didn't want to play charades with him here anymore.Seeing that Shen Chuo just turned his head away and didn't speak for a long time, she simply took Bai Wei's hand, walked to the door, frowned, looked up at Shen Jin who was blocking the door, and shouted in a cold voice: "Step aside."

But Shen Jin would not let them leave without Shen Chuo's order.

He lowered his eyes halfway, lowered his head, and looked indifferently at Jian Yan and Bai Wei standing in front of him. The tall and straight figures stood there motionless, giving people a sense of coercion.

Jian Yan was really annoyed.

She glared at Shen Jin fiercely, only thinking in her heart, you won't let me, right?Well, I will only speak to your master.

After placing Bai Wei aside, she walked up to Shen Chuo in a few steps, raised her head and asked him: "Young Master Shen, if you have something to say, let's just say it straight. My mother is still waiting for me over there, when she sees me I haven't gone back yet, if someone is sent to look for it and see Mr. Shen holding me like this, it might not be good for Mr. Shen's reputation, right?"

Shen Chuo withdrew his gaze from looking at the lotus, and looked down at her.

What a little man.Even though she is standing here with a sullen face, she looks very imposing on the surface, but it is only up to his shoulder height, so in his eyes, what can she do with her aura?It just makes people think that she is very cute and delicate.

So he simply crossed his legs and sat down on a futon beside him, then pointed to the opposite futon, and said with a smile: "Miss Jane, please sit down."

Jian Yan just stood there stubbornly, looking at him coldly, without any intention of sitting down.

Shen Chuo smiled and said: "When we were both standing, you looked up at me like that, wouldn't your neck be tired? It could be that we both sat down and looked at each other at the same level, so that we can both You won't be tired. Shen is also thinking of you wholeheartedly."

Jian Yan was so angry that she wished she could kick him.

This Shen Chuo's words are so annoying, if you talk to him, you really have to be ready to be mad at any time.

But no matter how angry she was, she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, she just kept her face tight and said coldly: "I would rather stand here than sit on the futon and look at you at the same level." , looking down at you."

The corners of Shen Chuo's lips pulled slightly, and he clicked his tongue lightly, thinking in his heart, he is really a stubborn little person.

"If Miss Jian feels happy looking down at Shen, then feel free to look down."

After a pause, he leaned over again, and asked with a smile: "Do you want me to sit closer so that you can look down at me better?"

Jian Yan twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly, and it took a lot of effort to control her urge not to kick him in the face.

Could you please have some normal communication with me?

"No, use." She gritted her teeth and said with a frown at the same time, "I'm going back to my mother. If Mr. Shen is fine, please let me go. There are so many people, if I start shouting, it will be useless to Mr. Shen."

Shen Chuo picked out a pair of phoenix eyes slantingly, waved the folding fan in his hand slowly, and said with a smile: "What's the use for me? The big deal is that I'll be a coquettish and indulgent girl here, so I won't let you go. I, Shen Chuo, am not afraid of bearing such a reputation. Oh," he suddenly closed the folding fan in his hand again with a slamming sound, tapped on the palm of his hand, and moved closer to him with great interest and said, "It's just that If someone who comes here sees Miss Jian being blocked by me, it will definitely be of no use to Miss Jian's reputation. I don't know how Xu Shilang will react if this word reaches the ears of Xu Shilang?"

Jian Yan's hands hanging by her sides clenched into fists a little violently.

I really want to give this scumbag a punch, it would be best if I could get rid of that annoying smile on his face.

Naturally, all of her little actions fell into Shen Chuo's eyes exactly.

After teasing her for such a long time, it's rare that even though she was so angry in her heart, she still held back and didn't burst out. It's really interesting.

So Shen Chuo raised his long eyebrows, and teased her again and again.

"If Xu Shilang really cares about this at that time, I don't mind suffering a little bit, and I will be responsible to Miss Jane."

"Thank you very much." Jian Yan almost choked out these words from between her teeth.

She just felt that the blue veins on her forehead were jumping with joy.Even though she feels that after so many years of cultivation, she has already achieved the state of being indifferent to everything, where he is forced by him, the breeze blows the hills; Every second he was so angry that he was like a ignited firecracker, and the next moment he rushed over with a whoosh, and then used both hands and feet to beat him like a peach blossom.

It's not because she's not calm enough, it's because this person in front of her is so fucking shameless.

Jian Yan took three deep breaths, trying her best to suppress the irritability in her heart, and then her pretty face sank more and more, her voice was as cold as ice slag, and she rushed out coldly: "Mr. You blocked me here, you don't think it's just because you want to amuse me, right?"

Shen Chuo saw that teasing her was almost enough, and if she continued teasing, she would definitely explode, so he stopped as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Of course not. I just want to see Miss Jane."

Jian Yan said coldly: "I have flowers growing on my face? What's the point? Say something quickly."

"Although there are no flowers growing on Miss Jian's face, I'm afraid there is no flower in this world worthy of growing on Miss Jian's face." Seeing Jian Yan's cold eyes flying over again, Shen Chuo So he put away his glib tone and said with a smile, "How can we say that we have been working together for so long, and I specifically want to come here to meet my business partner. Is this a matter of course?"

Jian Yan's heart sank, she just thought that he really knew.But there was still no emotion on his face, he just said: "I don't understand what Mr. Shen is talking about. Please let me go, or I will really call someone."

After all, turn around and leave.

Shen Chuo made a gesture, Shen Jin over there saw this, and strode over, Bai Wei immediately fell into his control again.

"Girl." Bai Wei exclaimed.And Jian Yan's expression changed, and she yelled sharply: "Let her go."

Shen Jin looked up at Shen Chuo, waiting for his instructions.

Shen Chuo laughed lightly, and then said: "Miss Jian, please be safe and don't be impatient. The sooner we finish talking, you can go back to your mother earlier, why play guessing games with me here Woolen cloth."

Jian Yan's angry hands were a little weak, trembling all the time.

Speaking of selfishness, she can actually say whatever she wants in front of Xu Zhongxuan, even if she uses harsh words to force him, she is not afraid, because she knows that he cares about her, and she will not be willing to really hurt her.She was nothing more than shamelessly relying on this.But in front of Shen Chuo, she did not dare to act rashly.Because she knew that even if Shen Chuo looked kind and gentle with a smile on his face, no matter how sympathetic and considerate he was in his words, if he really annoyed him, I'm afraid that when he attacked her, he would It will definitely not be soft-handed.

Jian Yan forced herself to calm down.I don't know how many deep breaths she took, she turned around, sat cross-legged on another futon, raised her head to meet Shen Chuo's eyes with a smile all the time, and said calmly : "Mr. Shen has something to say, but please say it clearly."

Shen Chuo took a fan and tapped the palm of the other hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Jian Yan, and said with a half-smile: "Miss Jian is so courageous. If this is the case, Shen will not bother with you. circle."

"Do you know Zhou Lin?"

Jian Yan nodded, still with a calm expression on her face: "He is the godson recognized by my nanny. Although he and my nanny are not biological mothers and children, they are better than mothers and children. I have heard my nanny mention him many times, and I know he is in my house It’s just that I’m a woman in the boudoir, and I don’t go out very often, and I’ve only heard of his name, but I haven’t met him in person.”

What Jian Yan said is quite true.Although she asked Zhou Lin to do so many things, she never really met Zhou Lin once.

"That's all?" Shen Chuo raised his eyebrows, looking at her with interest.

"Otherwise, what does Mr. Shen think?" Jian Yan asked back, "Although I was born in a family of merchants, my mother has been very strict with me since I was a child, and I usually don't leave the door, and I don't go in the second door. Is it possible that I can still be with this Can Zhou Lin meet privately?"

"Miss Jian can't meet Zhou Lin privately, but the maid Bai Wei next to you can." Shen Chuo smiled and glanced at Bai Wei who was still under Shen Jin's control, and then withdrew Looking at Jian Yan, she said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Jian is really the kind of person who doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin. Forget it, if I try to trick you, I won't be able to trick you. I'll show you these."

After finishing speaking, he took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, slowly opened them, then lifted them up with one hand, and showed them to Jian Yan.

Jian Yan's eyelids twitched.

These two pieces of paper were exactly the two pies he specially drew for Zhou Lin to show his sincerity and to lure Shen Chuo to cooperate with them when he asked Zhou Lin to discuss cooperation with them.

There are eight characters written on a piece of paper, the goods link the world, and the world connects, and a simplified version of the world map is drawn on a piece of paper.

But Jian Yan's face was still calm, she just glanced at the two pieces of paper, then raised her eyes to Shen Chuo, and asked, "What does Mr. Shen mean by showing me these two pieces of paper?"

Shen Chuo shook the two pieces of paper in front of Jian Yan's eyes, and then said with a smile: "Look clearly, the hairpin flower script written on these two pieces of paper is clean and graceful, and it is clearly written by a woman."

When Jian Yan heard it, she felt annoyed and wished she could slap her.

What's so frank is that it's a hundred secrets and a sparse one. I never told Zhou Lin that day to ask him to transcribe all the contents of these two pieces of paper by himself.Shen Chuo was as meticulous as a hair, must have noticed something was wrong at that time, and then sent someone to investigate Zhou Lin secretly, and then followed the clues to find her.Maybe he really checked the [-]th generation of Jane's ancestors thoroughly, so he must have known early on that the person hiding behind Zhou Lin was actually her.

Thinking of this, she felt a little disheartened, and wanted to admit it to Shen Chuo directly.But after all, there is still a little bit of luck in my heart, just thinking that Jian's house in Longxing Mansion has been sold long ago, and all the servants have been dismissed, and in Tongzhou, Mama Xia and the people in the small kitchen It's just that Bai Wei and Zhou Lin are in love, and they just meet each other when they get the chance.Besides, those ideas of mine were directly passed to Zhou Lin's ears through Bai Wei, so no third person should know about it, right?So at most Shen Chuo was just guessing, and then he just used her words here.As long as he refuses to admit it, he can't do anything.

Thinking of this, Jian Yan said one word lightly: "Oh. So what? What does Mr. Shen want to tell me?"

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Shen Chuo raised his eyebrows, took out another piece of paper, opened it, held it upright in front of Jian Yan with one hand and shook it.

The paper is also written in small script with hairpin flowers, and it can be seen that it was written by the same person, and it is written by Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou".

"The water hits three thousand miles, and the one who swings upwards ninety thousand miles. Miss Jian has lofty ambitions."

Jian Yan's face has completely changed at this meeting.

This getaway was written when she had nothing to do a few days ago.She remembered that after writing it, she folded it up and put it on the bookshelf, but why did it appear in Shen Chuo's hands now?

Shen Chuo slowly folded the piece of paper and put it away, then took out another piece of paper, also holding it vertically with one hand, and shook it in front of Jian Yan.

The expression on Jian Yan's face became even worse for a while.

The jewelry and clothes recorded on this paper were when she was in Longxing Mansion. After she planned to drive Mother Zhao away from her side, she packed up a bag of jewelry and clothes, and asked Bai Wei to hand them over to Zhou Lin, who would go there for her. pawn shop.At that time, a total of 800 taels of silver were paid.And it was with this money that he gradually got the woolen shop in Tongzhou and the Shijin Pavilion in the capital.

"Miss Jian," Shen Chuo took Jian Yan's reaction into his eyes, and then asked slowly with a smile, "Why, are you still unwilling to admit it?"
