Rebirth of Ruo Xiyan

The light-colored sleeves slid down, revealing the long and slender arms as white as jade.Holding a brush in the palm of his hand, he wrote a line of flowing small characters.

The ink hair on the neck slipped down, which was a little obstructive, Shu Mo frowned slightly, and reached out to brush it away.Her fair cheeks were reflected in the sun, she was extremely beautiful and dust-free, and her thin lips were slightly pale.

There were two light knocks on the door, and Shu Mo said loudly, "Come in." His eyes still fell on the pages of the book.

The butler pushed the door open and walked to the desk, "Master, Master Chen, please see you."

Shumo suddenly put down his pen and ink, his face was full of joy, "Where is he now?" Jing Cheng has not been to the Lin residence for a long time, and Shumo thought that Jing Cheng would not take the initiative to come to him.

"Master Chen is in the lobby." The butler looked at the extremely beautiful smile on Shu Mo's face, and was slightly lost in thought.

Shu Mo pushed the door and walked quickly to the lobby, as if he was afraid that Jing Cheng would leave if he was a step too late.

"Jing Cheng." Shumo looked at the tall figure in the room, and subconsciously hugged him like in the past.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Jing Cheng turned around slightly, seeing Shu Mo's overly intimate movements, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he sideways avoided.

Shumo let go of his hands lonely, but the smile on his face remained the same. He was already very happy that Jing Cheng came to him on his own initiative, and he didn't care about other things.As an important minister in the court, Jing Cheng faced those glib ministers all day long, so it was inevitable that he would be cold-tempered. Shumo comforted himself deliberately in his heart, but looking at Jing Cheng's indifferent face, there was still a tinge of sadness in his heart. Pass.

"How long has Jing Cheng been waiting?" Shumo tugged on Jing Cheng's sleeve, motioning for him to sit beside him.

"It hasn't been long." Jing Cheng leaned over and sat down, he was still a little surprised that Shumo arrived so quickly.

Shumo poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Jing Cheng, he stretched out his hand and brought the pastry beside him to his face, "Jing Cheng eat some pastry." He picked up a piece of pastry and wanted to feed it to Jing Cheng's mouth, but found it was a bit cold.

"The pastry is cold, I'll call someone to make another plate." Shumo stretched out his hand to signal the maid on the side to withdraw.

"No need." Jing Cheng looked at Shumo coldly, flustered for a while, he just came here on a temporary basis, why should Shumo entertain him like a guest.

"It's nothing but a plate of pastries, we won't wait long." Shu Mo smiled lightly, Jing Cheng's arrival was really sudden, and he didn't plan to prepare anything in advance.

"I'm here to discuss something with you." Jing Cheng said in a deep voice, this matter is of great importance, otherwise he would not have come to Lin's residence in person.

Shumo's smile was a bit forced, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Perhaps Jing Cheng would not come to him in person if nothing happened, "What is it?" Shumo said in a gentle voice, holding back his sadness. Accompanying him, watching Qing'er grow up under his knees, but now he can only rely on his rights to lure Jing Cheng not to leave.If one day he ceased to be the head of the Lin family, perhaps Jing Cheng would never want to see him for a moment.

Although Shumo knows this, he always deceives himself, hoping that the relationship between him and Jing Cheng can be brought closer.

"I want you to blame Master Liu for the loss of the general's salary." Jing Cheng said slowly, 10 taels of silver is not a small number. If the court finds out, maybe both the Lin family and the Chen family will be destroyed, but he I believe Shumo has this ability. "Lord Liu is not a good official. He has done many bad things in collusion, and he should have been punished long ago. I am just helping those Zhongliang who were killed by him to get justice."

"You asked me to steal the military salary." Shumo frowned, the things that Jing Cheng was doing were getting bigger and bigger, and he even felt a little hard to support.

"It's not stealing but borrowing." If the treasury is empty, his status may also be shaken.

"The escorting guards are all elite soldiers with high martial arts skills. I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the defense for a while." Shumo pressed the table hard. In this operation, he was seriously injured and hadn't recovered for a long time, and his internal strength was also greatly reduced, so it might be difficult to support him.

"This matter is very difficult." Jing Cheng opened his mouth and asked, looking at the embarrassment on Shumo's face.

Shu Mo nodded, he had to ensure that nothing went wrong, otherwise he couldn't imagine the price of this matter.

"Then forget it." Jing Cheng sighed, and he went back to think of other ways.

Shumo looked at Jing Cheng with a slightly disappointed expression. If he rejected Jing Cheng in this matter, I am afraid that Jing Cheng would never entrust him with anything again. Maybe he's getting close to Jing Cheng? "Give me five days, and I will try my best to meet your expectations."

There was a gleam of joy in Jing Cheng's eyes, what Shumo promised would definitely be done, if Master Liu was brought down, then there would be no obstacles in front of him.

"Thank you." Jing Cheng was a little grateful on his face, if Shu Mo refused to help him, then he would never find another person willing to go through life and death for him.

"You're welcome, I'm willing to do everything for you." Shumo raised his hand and held the hand in Jing Cheng's sleeve, even if it cost him his life, he hoped that Jing Cheng would have him in his heart An imprint is also good.

Jing Cheng pulled out his hand, and he stood up slowly, "I have something to leave first." Now that his goal has been achieved, he doesn't have to stay.

Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's figure, as if a wound had been cut in his heart, and blood was slowly dripping. Could it be that Jing Cheng came here just to discuss things with him.

"Can Jing Cheng stay and leave after lunch?" Shumo walked to Jing Cheng's side and asked warmly.He just wanted to get along with Jing Cheng for a while, as the head of the family, he was too busy to go to the Chen Mansion to wait for Jing Cheng to come to court.

"It's still some time before noon, I have a lot of things at hand, and I don't want you to be so leisurely." Jing Cheng coldly retorted, he really hoped that Shumo could go out to do errands from time to time, and he wouldn't have to hang around him from time to time, which is very annoying .

Shumo lowered his head in a lonely way. In recent years, he has long been used to being rejected by Jing Cheng, but he still looks forward to the day when Jing Cheng can smile and agree to his request.

"I can send someone to deliver the meal right now." There was a gleam of hope in Shumo's eyes, which was extremely weak, and gradually dissipated with the long silence.

"I just had breakfast, and I'm not very hungry." Jing Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, stepped down the threshold and walked out slowly.

"Jing Cheng, you haven't seen Qing'er for many days, don't you want to see the child when you come to Lin's mansion?" Shumo opened his mouth and called out, he saw Jing Cheng's footsteps paused, there was no trace of joy on his face, Qing'er was Jing Cheng labored hard to give birth after a night of pain, if Jing Cheng didn't feel a little moved in his heart, maybe he didn't need to wait any longer.

"I'll wait for you to go and see Qing'er." Shumo walked to Jing Cheng's side, he looked at Jing Cheng's calm expression, with a trace of bitterness on his face, could it be that Jing Cheng is in a high position, and even his heart is cold.

"It's enough for Jing Cheng to take a look at the child, it won't waste your time." Shumo looked at the people behind him, his heart was already icy cold, how much he wished that they could return to the way they were before, he has not yet succeeded as the head of the family , and Jing Cheng is also an unfavored son of the Chen family, they often go to the market to accompany each other, and they don't think too much about it.Now I have too much, and those that should be cherished in my heart are becoming more and more careless.

"I didn't say I wouldn't watch it." Jing Cheng's face was full of displeasure, and his heart was slightly sad, but he didn't know why he was sad.

Shumo was walking in the corridor, seeing that the people behind him were some distance away from him, but he moved his mouth but didn't say anything.Forget it, those lost can never be brought back.

The maid standing by the door looked at Shumo's figure and bent slightly, "Master, the young master just fell asleep."

Shu Mo stopped in his tracks, lowered his head slightly, the broken hair on his forehead covered his eyebrows and eyes, and the expression on his face was a little unclear. Jing Cheng didn't want to stay in Lin's mansion, so I'm afraid it would be even worse his will.

"It's nothing, I'll just take a look by the window." Jing Cheng pushed open the sash and looked at the bed. He looked at the child's immature sleeping face, and couldn't help showing a hint of tenderness on his face.

Shumo quietly stood in the distance looking at Jing Cheng's face, fortunately he still cared about the child, Qing'er was the only bond between them, if there was no child, they would have nothing to do with each other.

Jing Cheng raised his hand slightly as if he wanted to touch the child's face, but what he touched was the cold window paper, and the gentleness between his brows and eyes dissipated in an instant, he put down his hand coldly, and turned around slowly.

"I'm leaving first." Jing Cheng gradually walked away without waiting for Shumo's response.

Shumo looked up at Jing Cheng's gradually disappearing back, and leaned heavily on the red pillar beside him. Now Jing Cheng still misses the child in his heart, and wonders if he will remember his own flesh and blood when the power in his hands grows.

The maid at the side saw Shumo's pale face, raised her hand to touch her chest, and couldn't help calling out. "master."

Shumo slowly straightened up and pushed open the door. He sat softly on the edge of the bed, looked at Qing'er's eyebrows that resembled Jing Cheng, with a hint of sadness on his face, and raised his hand to caress Qing'er's tender cheek.

Qing'er seemed to feel that Shumo's fingertips were itchy, and moved her body slightly.

"Qing'er, father will always be by your side, and so will daddy." Shumo hooked Qing'er's little hand. Even though he worked hard and even risked his life, he still couldn't satisfy Jing Cheng's growing pains. The bigger the appetite, this time it's robbery, he doesn't know what the next time will be, but this is all his willingness, he can't complain about Jing Cheng at all.

"Master, it's time to drink the medicine." The maid walked over to Shumo with the medicine bowl in her hand, the black medicine juice was emitting a faint white mist, and the bitter taste wafted out.

"Go down." Shumo looked at the medicine bowl and smiled coldly, his smile was extremely sad.

"Master, if you keep refusing to drink the medicine, the injury will heal more slowly." The maid couldn't bear to persuade her, why did the master bother with his body.

The maid looked at Shumo and waved her hand, then turned and retreated.

Shumo leaned against the bed rail and looked at the sleeping child quietly, with a sad expression mixed with a touch of despair.
