Frost shines on Qingcheng

"Her surname has nothing to do with me. She is so young, I can't bear to see you treat her so cruelly." Shen Shuang took care of Luo You who was hugging her neck, looking straight at Luo Qi with sharp eyes, "What about you?" ? What exactly are you trying to spy on by using a three-year-old child?"

Hearing this, Luo Qi frowned, but opened his lips but couldn't say anything.

Shen Shuangzhao didn't seem to be interested in waiting for her answer, but just pushed her away with a gloomy expression, and left without saying a word.

Looking forward to her back, Luo clenched his fists, the anger in his heart became worse but he couldn't vent it.

On the way back to Qingshuang Palace, Luo You hugged Shen Shuangzhao's neck tightly and buried her small head in the socket of her neck.Sensing her uneasiness, Shen Shuangzhao gently stroked her back with his hand, and said softly against her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Luo You didn't speak, but hugged Shen Shuangzhao even tighter.

When they arrived at Qingshuang Palace, Nanyan and Xiaotao saw that Shen Shuangzhao came back with a child in her arms, and immediately put down what they were doing to greet her.

"Where did this child come from? He looks so cute." Nan Yan smiled and teased Luo You, but Luo You was afraid of others, so she hid in Shen Shuangzhao's arms and did not let go.

Shen Shuang said calmly: "Luo Qi brought it from Bihai. Hurry up and prepare some food, she's starving."

"What did Luo Qi bring a child here?" Mentioning Luo Qi, Xiao Tao hated her to death, "Is she planning some kind of conspiracy again?"

"I don't know." Shen Shuangzhao's voice seemed very tired. Her heart had been dead all these years, and she was so numb that she didn't care what Luo Qi wanted to do to her.

Nanyan gave Zhi Xiaotao a hand, and signaled her not to pick up any pot without opening it.

"I'm going to prepare food now." Xiaotao changed the subject, "City Master, let me hug the child, you are so tired after carrying it all the way."

"Don't..." Luoyou protested softly.

Shen Shuangzhao rarely showed a faint smile: "Let me hold her, she just arrived in Shuilan City, the environment is too strange and she will be afraid."

……

Here -

After being angered by Shen Shuangzhao, Luo Qi returned to his bedroom and lost his temper.Everything that could be smashed and thrown in the dormitory was used by her to vent her emotions. Even so, she still felt an indescribable knot in her chest.

Jingyu knelt on the ground, surrounded by fragments of things smashed by Luo Qi, she was silent, not daring to say a word.

Luo Qi's chest heaved violently, she sat on the chair, narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jingyu: "I heard that during the three days I was away, you crawled onto Shen Shuangzhao's bed?"

"Jingyu didn't dare. The city lord was drunk that night, so his behavior was unavoidable. Jingyu just lay beside her all night, and nothing else happened." Jingyu's tone seemed calm, but only she knew what she was doing. How nervous and scared I was.

Luo Qi sneered, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he didn't ask any more questions, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Shen Shuangzhao went to Qingcheng to see Shen Wanrong, what did she and Ling Yan talk about?"

"The words were just ordinary things. The city lord stayed with Shen Wanrong most of the time. When the city lord left, Miss Ling said 'I'm sorry' to her." Jingyu replied.

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "What's Shen Shuang's reaction?"

Jingyu replied honestly: "The city lord was just stunned for a moment, and his reaction was very cold. He left without saying anything."

"She's really heartbroken..." Luo Qi smiled strangely, and stood up, "That's the best. It's time for her to realize the reality—except for staying by my side honestly, no one else No matter how close you get, it is impossible to become her long-term support."

Jingyu kept silent, her heart trembling for a while.She felt that Luo Qi's feelings for Shen Shuangzhao were probably not purely possessive, but maybe a kind of perverted love, so perverted that she didn't even realize it was love.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

"It's getting late, you should go to bed. You'er, come here, I'll comb your hair." Shen Shuangzhao waved to Luo You who was concentrating on playing with rattles and dolls.

Luo You didn't seem to have any sense of distance from her, so she put down the things in her hands and ran towards her.

"My mother also combs my hair every day." Luo You sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Shen Shuang combed her hair behind her.

After hearing Luo You's words, Shen Shuangzhao's hand holding the comb stopped suddenly, and asked faintly, "Really?"

Luo You nodded, and said childishly: "She loves me very much, and is also very gentle." Thinking of her mother not being around, deep disappointment floated on her face, "I want to go home..."

Shen Shuangzhao lost her mind for a moment, and when she mentioned that person, unspeakable heartache and sourness flooded her heart again.She opened her mouth, her throat fluttered for a long time before she struggled to make a sound: "Your..."

Luo You raised her head and looked at Shen Shuangzhao with her big black eyes: "Huh?"

Shen Shuangzhao's hands suddenly curled into fists, as if she was forcing herself to endure something, she pulled out an ugly smile, and took back all the words that came to her lips: "It's nothing, you are still young, there are some things you don't need to know."

She had been abandoned by that person long ago, and she didn't even know if that person still remembered her.Now facing her daughter, why does she, Shen Shuangzhao, have to deliberately look for a sense of presence?Forget it, Shen Shuangzhao, you should forget about her.

Luo You looked at her half-understood, then suddenly stretched out her small hand to touch Shen Shuangzhao's cheek: "Sister Shuangzhao, don't cry..."

"Crying?" Shen Shuangzhao grabbed the little hand that was "playing tricks" on her face, and suddenly felt amused, "Who told you that I was going to cry? Also, you call me sister?"

"You are frowning, your eyes are red, aren't you about to cry?" Luo You said confidently, "I don't call you sister, what should I call?"

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head with a smile, and lightly pinched her little nose: "Little girl, I really can't say enough about you. You can call you whatever you like, sister can be sister..." She sighed softly, originally she didn't like it. As a child, is she now in love with the house?

After a lot of effort, she finally tidied up the little person and put her on the bed. Just as Shen Shuangzhao was about to put her to sleep, she heard a noise outside the door.Luo You was much more nervous than her, and suddenly sat up.

"what happened?"

Luo You hugged Shen Shuangzhao's waist tightly, hid behind her, and whispered, "It's Auntie..."

Shen Shuangzhao frowned, pushed Luo You back on the bed, and tucked in the quilt for her: "Your son is obedient, sleep well."

"But..." Luo You was very disturbed.

"Don't be afraid. With me here, Luo Qi won't be able to take you away. Now, You Er, close your eyes, okay? I'll let Nan Yan come in to accompany you." Shen Shuangzhao coaxed her softly, with gentle words.

Luo You nodded, and then the whole person got into bed.

Shen Shuang stood up and walked outside the house.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing so noisy?" Shen Shuangzhao asked Luo Qi annoyed.

Luo Qi turned around when she heard the words, her cheeks were flushed, obviously she had been drinking.The corners of her lips were raised, her eyes were blurred, and she walked towards Shen Shuangzhao with a charming smile.

As she approached, Shen Shuangzhao smelled alcohol on the tip of his nose.Thinking that Luo You was still in the dormitory, fearing that the drunk Luo Qi would do something out of the ordinary to scare Luo You, Shen Shuangzhao reached out and dragged Luo Qi to another place roughly: "What's the matter, let's go to the study."

Luo Qi raised his chin and looked at Shen Shuangzhao's back, and let her lead him along feebly. A thought flashed in his mind - when would she be as good to him as she was to Lu Qingrong...

After entering the study, Shen Shuangzhao closed the door without even looking at her, and asked coldly, "What are you here for?"

Luo Qi stuck in front of her, and because of the height gap, she could only look up at Shen Shuangzhao: "Shen Shuangzhao, look at me."

Shen Shuangzhao narrowed her eyes, but said nothing to her words.

Luo Qi smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and forced Shen Shuangzhao to look down at himself: "You know that there will be no good end to going against me, why do you still challenge my patience over and over again?"

There was no wave in Shen Shuangzhao's eyes: "I think I am obedient enough to you. You killed my senior sister and city residents, and made my mother like this. You asked me to be your puppet city lord, and I did it." ;If you don't let me die, I will live like a walking corpse; if you let Lu Qingrong marry your brother, I will never see her again. Is it not enough to obey?" She laughed mockingly, "Just because more than ten years ago I escaped from Bihai City, and you are going to treat me so cruelly? Now that we have returned to the original point, are you still not satisfied? Luo Qi, what else do you want?"

At that time, Shen Shuangzhao was taken away by Zhao Yueyao after she was born, and later the servants of the Chu family who had followed Chu Xingzhi since childhood tried their best to bring her back from Zhao Yueyao's side.At that time, the situation was still unclear, because he was afraid that Zhao Yueyao would find out if he stayed in Shuilan City and Qingcheng, so the attendant carried Shen Shuangzhao to Bihai City by boat.

The old suzerain of Bihai City at that time, that is, Luo Ji Luoji's father, after knowing this, he brought his attendants and Shen Shuangzhao to the inner city.On the surface, they took care of them kindly and benevolently, but in fact they intended to take Shen Shuangzhao as their hostage. When the day came, they could use Shen Shuangzhao to threaten Shen Wanrong and the remaining forces of the old city lord.

Living under the fence was not easy, Shen Shuang was treated wantonly by Luo Qi like a toy.When Luo Qi was happy, she seemed to spoil her to heaven; but when Luo Qi was angry, she was worse than stray dogs on the side of the road.

A few years later, Shen Wanrong took full power in Shuilan City, and her power gradually became stronger.The suzerain of Bihai City planned to use Shen Shuangzhao to gain some benefits from Shen Wanrong. The attendants of the Chu family learned of this by accident, only to realize that they had been deceived by the suzerain all these years, and he had even been deceiving himself that Zhao Yueyao had completely occupied Qingcheng , and Shen Wanrong had already died in the rebellion with Chu Xingzhi.

The situation was critical, so the attendants of the Chu family planned to take Shen Shuangzhao secretly back to Shuilan City to look for Shen Wanrong.Unfortunately, the two got lost on the way to escape.In the heavy rain that night, the attendant stumbled and fell into the swollen river. After he got ashore, he couldn't find Shen Shuangzhao, only found her muddy shoes by the river.The attendant thought that Shen Shuangzhao had drowned, and felt ashamed of Chu Xingzhi and the Chu family.After several mental blows, he became the old sugar seller in Shuilan City who was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy.

Later, the old sugar seller accidentally met the grown-up Shen Shuangzhao in Shuilan City. Before he could tell the truth to Shen Shuangzhao and Shen Wanrong, Luo Qi killed him first.

On the night when Lu Qingrong got married, Luo Qi personally told Shen Shuangzhao all this.Shen Shuangzhao, who wanted to die with all her heart, was in so much pain that she finally understood why the old man gave her sugar and looked at her with that kind of eyes on the night she met the old man in the outer city.He was once the uncle who protected her and loved her, but she forgot.If he had been sane and told the truth that night, things might not have turned out like this.

Seeing Shen Shuangzhao losing her mind in front of her, Luo Qi squeezed her chin tightly. Shen Shuangzhao grinned in pain, only to hear Luo Qi say: "Forget about Lu Qingrong, your heart cannot belong to anyone other than me. Worry-free, I don't care about you." Is your master, the only master..."

Shen Shuangzhao's heart rose, and she shook off her hand suddenly: "You madman!"
