swear not to be concubine

Chapter 73

Shen Chuo had a long smile on his face, calm and relaxed.But Jian Yan's face was no longer calm, and turned into a gray and defeated look.

She was thinking, she really overestimated herself, and at the same time underestimated Shen Chuo.

From the beginning to the end, no matter whether she was treating Xu Zhongxuan or Shen Chuo, she was too self-righteous.Why does she think she is so smart?Why does she feel that no one else can see these little tricks she is playing behind her back?She is just one of the many beings, and she is the most common kind.

Jian Yan had already been worried about gains and losses in her heart because of Xu Zhongxuan's matter before, but she was caught off guard by Shen Chuo's repeated psychological warfare, and she couldn't help but start to feel sorry for herself, and then she became a little bit self-defeating .

"That's right," she slumped her straight back, looked at the uneven, dusty blue brick floor in front of her, and said slowly in a clear and lifeless voice, "the eighth I wrote the word, and I also drew the map. I also gave Zhou Lin the idea of ​​Shijing Pavilion and asked him to open it. I also said the words about cooperating with you with Zhou Lin, so, What do you want?"

On the contrary, Shen Chuo didn't dare to do anything.

At first, he saw Jian Yan posing in such an imposing manner in front of him, he deliberately teased her, and saw that she immediately blew up like an irritated kitten, showing what she thought was sharp. Little claw, at that time he only thought it was very interesting, and there was no taboo between words.It's just that he originally thought that with Jian Yan's tenacity, he was afraid that the few pieces of paper just now would not make her compromise, and when he was about to take other 'evidence' he had collected, he suddenly heard Jian Yan admitted so directly, and still confessed without reservation, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

When he realized it, he smiled and said, "Miss Jane is really refreshing."

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't dare to confirm that the person behind Zhou Lin was Miss Jian, but it was just a guess. What I said just now was just a scam. It didn't make sense to Jane." The girl really admitted it openly."

Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw a futon thrown towards him with a strong gust of wind.

It turned out that Jian Yanyuan was still in a state of self-pity and self-abandonment. She was really not in the mood, nor did she have the energy to continue to fight some psychological warfare with Shen Chuo, so she thought about admitting it simply, anyway, even if she Even if he admits all this, Shen Chuo can't do anything to her.But just after she admitted it in despair, the next moment she heard Shen Chuo laughing and saying that he was just cheating her, but she didn't expect her to admit it so easily.Jian Yan couldn't help being furious for a moment, so she casually grabbed the futon beside her and threw it towards Shen Chuo.

No one expected that Jian Yan would make such a move, and she and Shen Chuo were very close, Shen Chuo didn't have time to rescue Shen Chuo, and Shen Chuo didn't react to dodge, so the futon turned towards Shen Chuo's face He rushed over.

Buddhism originally pays attention to penance, this futon is not very fine, it is made of ordinary cattail grass, and there are sharp cattail grass protruding from many places, it is very simple and rough.And Shen Chuo has more eyes than lotus pods, but after all, he grew up with rich clothes and jade food, and his skin is delicate and tender, so he would be hit by the futon firmly, and he immediately felt that his right cheek was hot the pain.Raising his hand to touch it, the tentacles were slippery, and when he took a look, the white fingertips were a little scarlet.

"Master," Shen Jin had already thrown Bai Wei away, stood behind Jian Yan, and called out in a low voice.It seemed that as long as Shen Chuo said something, he would stretch out his hand the next moment and wring Jian Yan's neck off without hesitation.

Jian Yan's anger just now disappeared when she saw a long, bloody gash on Shen Chuo's right cheek, and it didn't exist at all.At this moment, she only had fear in her heart, because Shen Chuo narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, just looking at the few drops of blood between her fingers.And there was no smile on his face anymore, only silence.

The silence frightened her.What's more, she can still feel Shen Jin's tall and big body standing behind her, stretching out her huge claws like an eagle catching a chick effortlessly in the next moment to lift her up, and then stretch out at will. One finger can kill her.

Jian Yan couldn't help but wanted to stand up, then turned around and ran away.But anyway, she still firmly suppressed the fear in her heart, and just sat motionless on the futon.The originally slumped back straightened up again, and his gaze was fixed on Shen Chuo even more.

When Shen Chuo raised his eyes, what he saw was Jian Yan's appearance.

Presumably she wanted to try her best to look like she wasn't afraid, so she put on a full face.It's just that her pale face and her tightly pursed lips betrayed him.

Shen Chuo suddenly felt that it was very interesting, and he pulled the corner of his lips into a smile.

It was the first time he saw such a stubborn little girl, and he felt a little reluctant to hurt her.

So he lightly rubbed his fingers a few times to disperse the few drops of scarlet blood between his fingers, then squinted at Jian Yan, and said with a half-smile on his face: "Miss Jian, I How much enmity is this with you? You actually intend to disfigure me."

Jian Yan choked.

She thought about it, and it seemed that she was the first to pull Shen Chuo into the water from the beginning to the end, and cooperate with her to open Shijin Pavilion in various places.And that sentence, Cargo connects the world, Connects the world, and the world map are just two pies specially drawn to lure Shen Chuo to cooperate with her.

In other words, she knows at most a theory about the world of goods, the world of huitong, and world trade, and she will definitely not be able to implement it in practice.In fact, this was also a trick for Shen Chuo.And now...

She quickly glanced at Shen Chuo's right cheek.

Shen Chuo was originally fair, but now there is such a long gash on the snow-white cheek, and the scarlet blood is still oozing out, the comparison between the two is really shocking.

So Jian Yan immediately felt a little guilty.After thinking about it, she looked up into his eyes and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

After a pause, he pointed to his right cheek again, and said very sincerely: "Your face, I will pay for the medical expenses."

Shen Chuo was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"Miss Jane," he just smiled, seeming to be in a very happy mood, "Are you showing off that you have money? No matter how poor I am, Shen Chuo, I can still afford the medical expenses."

"That's not what I mean," Jian Yan shook her hand, and then said, "After all, I broke your face, and I should be responsible for it."

"Responsible?" After twirling the folding fan twice delicately between his fingers, Shen Chuo raised his head and looked at her, with a silent smile on his lips, "What does Miss Jane want to be responsible for me?"

Jian Yan's face darkened again.

It is simply too simple for Shen Chuo to take the meaning out of context.

"I mean, I made the cut on your face, and I should be responsible for the cut on your face." Jian Yan only thought in her heart that talking to Shen Chuo would only make her mistakes more and more. , maybe he will pick up some words and use them to ridicule her, so it's better to say as little as possible.

After a pause, she said again: "Mr. Shen has already got the answer you want, so may I go now?"

Shen Chuo glanced at her with a smile, then shook the hand holding the folding fan slightly.

Immediately, Jian Yan felt that the pressure behind her was gone, presumably Shen Jin had stepped aside.

She felt relieved, hurriedly got up and stood up, went to the side to help Bai Wei, and turned around to leave here.

Only one foot had just crossed the threshold, and suddenly Shen Chuo's deep and serious voice sounded behind him: "Miss Jian, since you and I are business partners anyway, Shen feels that it is necessary to remind you of something. Xu Zhongxuan, no matter how gentle and elegant he looks in front of others, who is in the officialdom, who has no shady tricks and dirty tricks behind his back? Especially someone like him who sits at such a young age Now that he is in the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, his scheming methods can be imagined. Not to mention, he was relegated to Nanjing two years ago, but he was able to return to the capital safely and soundly. After being promoted to a third-rank official, the doorway and contacts here are terrifying just thinking about it. And why do you think Xu Zhongxuan hasn’t married yet? It’s really because he is so lofty that he insists on finding someone The woman I love with all my heart to grow old hand in hand? It's just because now is the critical moment when the two kings of Liang and Ning are fighting each other. The daughter of the aristocratic family became a relative, but if the official family stood for either of the two kings of Liang and Ning, he was equivalent to becoming a certain party invisibly. But Xu Zhongxuan found that he was a clear stream from the bottom, no matter what Whether it is King Liang or King Ning, he treats everyone equally without any preference, so how can he consider his own marriage at this moment? But no matter who he will marry in the future, he will not be able to give Miss Jane the position of wife People in the officialdom have intricate relationships with each other. Marriage is only for mutual benefit and for the benefit of one's own power. How can Miss Jian help him? As a concubine? Isn't it true that Miss Jian is so talented? Too wronged? So Shen advises Miss Jian that Xu Zhongxuan is not your lover, so it's better to let go of it as soon as possible."

Jian Yan froze all over, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "Thank you for reminding me."

At this time, Shen Chuo was heard laughing again: "Actually, Miss Jian can definitely consider it. If Miss Jian is willing, Shen will definitely be willing to offer her the position of wife."

Jane Yan: ...

As expected, Shen Chuo was serious for no more than three seconds.One second, he was speaking to her in such admonishing words in a serious manner, and in the next second, he was speaking to her in such words in a slippery tone.

It's true that dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths.

Jian Yan didn't pay any attention to him, just kept a calm face, supported Bai Wei and raised her foot to cross the threshold.

Shen Chuo's loud laughter came from behind, and he was still talking: "It's sunny outside, miss Jian, remember to bring a sunscreen, don't tan your fair and tender little face."

Jian Yan was so angry that her teeth were itchy, she wished she could turn back and give Shen Chuo a heart-warming kick.But in the end, he ignored him, just took the scorpion from Bai Wei's hand, put it on his head, and then walked away in big strides.

Bai Wei was quite frightened just now.Jian Yan's heart is actually the same as just after riding a roller coaster, and she has not completely calmed down yet.So the two simply found a place under the shade of a tree and sat there, thinking that they would calm down before going back to Mrs. Jane.

Bai Wei was very worried about the matter just now, so she asked Jian Yan in a low voice: "Girl, you have confessed everything to Shen Chuo, is it all right?"

Jian Yan was silent for a while, and then she said: "It should be nothing. Although Shen Chuo's words are annoying, he must not be so stupid as to publicize this matter everywhere, so it doesn't matter to him. What's the advantage. And in fact, no matter whether the person he cooperates with is Brother Zhou or me, to him, it shouldn't make any difference, maybe he is still curious, so he just checked it out."

Having said that, Jian Yan is actually unable to understand Shen Chuo.It's just comforting Bai Wei, and at the same time comforting herself.

Bai Wei asked again at this time: "Just now at the end, Shen Chuo once said, once said, that I will give you the position of wife..."

Jian Yan smiled: "This is just a joke he said to me, do you really take it seriously? Don't think about these things, we should rest here to calm down, and we will go back to my mother later. Carefully Tell mother to see our abnormality when the time comes."

While looking up at Bai Wei's neck carefully, there were no marks from being strangled by Shen just now.

It's just that she had only checked for a while, when she suddenly heard a soft and suspicious voice from the side: "Miss Jane?"
