My princess always wants me to usurp the throne

Chapter 278 Are You Redeeming?
After a brief silence, Situ Che asked her: "Why did you choose to spend the night in Huaiyou Town? This doesn't seem to be in line with your usual style!"

Shen Qianxia frowned, "Master, have you investigated me?"

"You can call me Dongli." He avoided the topic, his tone neither salty nor weak.

She was slightly taken aback, the name Situ Che was still a taboo that could not be mentioned.

She stretched her eyebrows and smiled, "Is it the east fence under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums?"

Situ Che hummed, feeling a little dazed.

After a long time, like a soft murmur, a short sentence escaped from his mouth, "Because there used to be Youran, there is Dongli."

Hearing this, Shen Qianxia throbbed for a moment, looked at his elegant face, and fell into deep thought.

Is he missing a person named Youran?
Huaiyou Town is also named after it?
His heart disease, the sore spot he doesn't want to touch, are all related to that person named You Ran?

His cause of the disease was in childhood, obviously it is not possible to be a lover or a childhood sweetheart.

That's family...

Shen Qianxia didn't know what to say for a while, and comfort seemed to be numb to him.

After a while, Situ Che spoke again, "Do you think there are people in the world who don't look like their parents at all?"

The slightly cool voice fell lightly, but there was inexplicable expectation in the eyes.

The light in Shen Qianxia's eyes gradually darkened, and a bit of chill suddenly increased, she twitched the corners of her mouth, "Yes!"

Situ Che's indifferent eyes changed slightly, and he smiled slightly, "Then is there such a case around you?"

She nodded, "I am!"

Situ Che froze and looked at her fixedly, "You?"

Shen Qianxia smiled: "Didn't you investigate me? Don't you know that I don't look like my parents?"

His eyes darkened, and he moved his lips, "You mean Shen Yu and Su Shi?"

She curled her fingers and said in a cold tone, "Otherwise, who else can I say? Although they are not worthy, my surname is Shen after all."

Situ Che's eyes flickered, and the feeling of low pressure all over his body dissipated a little, "Since you don't deserve it, then don't."

Shen Qianxia raised her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Everyone has their own bottom line, if they touch it, they will naturally not sit still."

He smiled very lightly: "You have the ability!"

She suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and marveled in her heart how she could talk about family affairs with him without distraction.

Situ Che turned around and faced the river, the water was rippling under the moonlight.

Ducks resting on the shore fluttered into the water, breaking the silence of the night.

Shen Qianxia followed his gaze, focused on the center of the water, and asked casually: "Do you come here often? Playing the flute alone to miss?"

"Hmm." The very soft voice was full of vicissitudes.

Situ Che felt a stabbing pain in his heart, his heart was full of bitterness, and his throat seemed to be blocked.

She looked sideways at him, and said softly, "It's tiring to heal silently after repeated pain like this."

He turned his head and looked into her clear eyes, his brows were stained with pain, "No matter how tired you are, you will have to blame yourself!"

Shen Qianxia was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that you are atoning for your sins?"

Situ Che frowned, and his refined and elegant face was gently hugged.

She felt his anger in addition to pain.

She took a step back subconsciously, distanced herself from the icy blade aura all over his body.

Aware of her cautiousness, he suppressed the coldness all over his body, and said coldly: "You are right, it can be regarded as atonement."

Shen Qianxia heaved a sigh of relief, scolding herself secretly, asking for nothing, it's not like she didn't feel his murderous aura.
