Rouge wrong

As for whether her aunt was alive or dead, Shen Cuo naturally hoped that Shen Yunpo would be fine from the bottom of his heart, and rationally did not believe that she would die so easily.

On the other hand, Aunt never discussed it with her.In other words, my aunt not only wanted to hide the fact that she was still alive from her mother, but also from her.

Shen Cuo's sadness not only comes from the fact that his aunt may have died, but also from the fact that he was deceived and abandoned by the most trusted, loved and respected person.

But if this is my aunt's wish, she is willing to be deceived like this, and she is also willing to cooperate with the acting——

Or maybe it's not just acting, because she knows very well that even if her aunt hadn't died, she would have chosen to go far away, and she might never have the chance to meet again in this life.

That's why her sadness and pain are so real, so she doesn't want to delve into Xie Yu's betrayal——

Because whether it is true or not, Xie Yu has deceived her, and this has nothing to do with her starting point and purpose.

It is precisely because he is deeply immersed in such emotions that Shen Cuo is so disheartened.

She can't even see through her closest aunt and Xie Yu. She doesn't know their thoughts and plans, and who else can get close to them.

This was her radical idea when she was most emotionally unstable, and in the past two years, because of the company of Rouge and her peaceful life, she gradually got rid of such emotions, and regained her spirit to contribute to the future of the Tianming Church members. plan.

But this doesn't mean that she has completely dismissed the matter of Shen Yunpo and Jieyu. Deep down in her heart, she has always hoped that one day she can reunite with her aunt.

As for Hua Nongying, Shen Cuo probably hated her naturally, and only regarded her as the biggest variable among them, and was always on guard against her.

But as long as Shen Cuo is willing to think about it from another angle, everything will be much more reasonable.

Xie Yu didn't betray her, but obeyed her aunt's orders. As for her aunt...

If it was because of Shen Zheng, then everything made sense—but she still couldn't accept it. My aunt would rather cooperate with Hua Nongying than tell her the truth.

"Young master, what did you think of?" Sensing the change in her expression, Shen Bing asked curiously, "Do you have any idea about the reason for Huanhuameng's help?"

Shen Cuo nodded first, then shook his head and said: "At present, everything is just my guess, continue to investigate the Huanhua League, other things will be discussed after Bai Linqiu arrives.

After all, Baiyun Villa is from my Tianming lineage, as an enemy, it is more difficult than anyone else, so you must proceed with caution. "

The complexity of this incident was comparable to that of the troubled times, and because the imperial court was in charge, no party dared to go too far.

Due to the disaster in the northwest, the imperial court was unable to devote more energy to the investigation of Baiyun Villa, and could not tell whether Shen Cuo and Hua Nongying were enemies or friends. As a result, they were confused many times during the process. Little is known about the situation in Baiyun Villa.

Shen Cuo's goal is extremely clear. If Shen Zheng's evil intentions are not dead, she must clean up the Shen family's house, so she focuses on tracking down the movements of Baiyun Villa.

Just because he had to be on guard against the government, and the Huanhua League was making trouble in it, he missed several opportunities to catch Shen Zheng in the past two years.

Although Shen Cuo looked down on Shen Zheng, the person who established Baiyun Villa back then was her father's confidant Bai Yan.

Not only is he strong in martial arts and deep in thought, but he is also loyal to his father.

The Yingyiwei led by him is even the elite among the elites of the Tianming Sect, and he was able to outnumber a hundred with one.

If it weren't for Shen Yunpo's strength to defeat Bai Yan, it is unknown what Mingjiao would be like today.

Because of this, Bai Yan left and took away Shen Cuo's elder brother Shen Zheng, and established Baiyun Villa, trying to use Shen Zheng to fulfill Shen Yunyan's long-cherished wish.

After Shen Zheng grew up, Bai Yan betrothed his daughter to him and let him inherit Baiyun Villa.

Having kept a low profile for decades, no one knows exactly how many cards Baiyun Villa has. This is why Shen Cuo has always acted cautiously.

Because Bai Yan disappeared without a trace after passing the position of the owner of the villa to Shen Zheng, and his life and death are still unknown.

Compared with righteous people like Huo Mingying, Shen Cuo is more afraid of such an old fox.

"Shopkeeper Shen..."

After the two of them roughly finished discussing, Yanzhi also made tea and brought it over.She seemed to be able to time the conversation between the two of them every time.

If it weren't for Shen Cuo to know that she didn't have the slightest martial arts, he would have thought that she, like him, could listen to music from thousands of miles away.

"Come in!"

Hearing Rouge's voice, the solemn atmosphere on Shen Cuo's body was swept away.Eyebrows stretched slightly, and even the tone of voice rose a little, one could tell that she was in a good mood.

Shen Cuo was naturally happy at the moment, Bai Qiulin was an unexpected gain, and the possibility of seeing her aunt again made her feel even better.

Yan Zhi pushed the door open and entered, said hello to Shen Cuo and Shen Bing one after another, and poured tea for the two of them deftly.

Shen Bing smiled at her, because he was dressed as a middle-aged Taoist priest, he looked very kind and kind.

"It's been a long time since I passed Qiandeng this time. Huzi wrote you a lot of letters."

Shen Bing took out a stack of letters from his bosom and handed them to Yan Zhi, and said kindly, "He misses you very much, and said that he hopes to come to Yanzhou to see you when he has a chance."

Shen Bing still has the identity of Huzi's master, so Yan Zhi respected him more, took the thick stack of letters with both hands, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother Shen Bing, for always helping me carry letters, Thanks a lot."

"How come, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

The two just said a few words, and Shen Cuo felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't think much of it at first, but because of the thought just now, the more she looked at it now, the more she felt that Rouge was very special to Shen Bing.

"Okay, Shen Bing, go if you have nothing to do." Shen Cuo showed a bit of impatience, frowned and said, "Bai Qiulin is coming, and so is Wen Zhi, you can make arrangements to avoid any mistakes."

Both Shen Bing and Yanzhi were taken aback - this was Shen Cuo's first time driving people away, and usually Shen Bing would drink a cup of tea here before leaving.

This is Rouge's way of expressing gratitude to Shen Bing, and Shen Cuo also understands this, and will take advantage of this time to chat with Shen Bing after finishing the business to show concern.

Although she had a high-sounding reason for rushing away suddenly today, no matter how urgent the matter was, it would take a cup of tea, so both of them couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Fortunately, both Shen Bing and Yanzhi were meticulous and knew Shen Cuo very well, so they didn't show it.

Shen Bing obeyed the order, while Yan Zhi said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Shen Bing is still staying where he is? I have a letter that I want to ask you to bring to Huzi for me. When you have time, I will send it to you."

"If you have already written it, then I can drop by now to get it."

Yan Zhi was about to agree, but she caught a glimpse of Shen Cuo looking at herself with an unhappy face from the corner of the eye, and changed her words: "No hurry, you should stay in Yanzhou for a while this time, right? I may have to write another letter , I will send it to you together when the time comes."

Shen Bing thought for a while and said, "Well, I—"

"Let's go and get it now. The situation is chaotic recently. Shen Bing may leave at any time. You should give him the written one first, so that you won't be able to send even one by then."

Rouge was surprised by Shen Cuo's repetition. After all, she guessed the other party's mind without saying that she guessed it right, and that was eight or nine. Today, she guessed her meaning wrong when Shen Cuo was so obvious, except for surprise. Beyond that there are doubts.

It's not just that she doesn't understand, Shen Bing is also puzzled, but since it's Shen Cuo's order, he will naturally not disobey it, and said to Yanzhi: "Then trouble Xiao Yanzhi to lead the way."

Yan Zhi nodded and said, "Well, then I'll see off Brother Shen Bing."

Shen Cuo's two long eyebrows were tightly frowned together, creating ripples like continuous mountain peaks. Hearing what the two said, he suddenly stood up and said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."

Shen Bing and Yan Zhi seemed to have gotten used to Shen Cuo's anomaly today, and they answered yes without the slightest hesitation.

Both of them knew very well that when Shen Cuo was unhappy, obeying her was the best choice.

Shen Cuo involuntarily took Yanzhi's hand and walked out, Yanzhi followed her obediently, showing a low-browed and obedient look.

However, he had already thought carefully in his mind, and screened out the reasons that might lead to Shen Cuo's unhappiness.

Judging from Shopkeeper Shen's appearance when she first came in, it obviously had nothing to do with the content of the conversation with Brother Shen Bing just now.After all, at that time, there was still a hint of joy on her face.

And she just made a cup of tea for the two of them and said a few words, why did shopkeeper Shen's attitude suddenly change?

Rouge thought about it, looked up at Shen Cuo's face carefully, and saw that the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, her jaw line was tight, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, and her face was full of unhappiness.

Rouge's heart trembled slightly, and a strange feeling gradually rose from her heart.Even the angry Shopkeeper Shen, she didn't feel scary at all, on the contrary, she thought she was cute.

Although it was somewhat disrespectful to Shopkeeper Shen that this kind of thought came from her mind, but as long as she didn't say it, wouldn't anyone know about it?

Not only did she find Shopkeeper Shen cute when she was angry, but she also thought that her frail, coquettish, happy appearance...everything was cute.

She knew very well that she should respect Shen Cuo more, but since the first time she felt love and affection in her heart, it was already difficult for her to treat Shen Cuo with respect and love.

By Shen Cuo's side, she does feel very safe, and it is an indisputable fact that she has been protected by Shen Cuo. Compared with Shen Cuo, she is weak in every way, but Rouge has a protector's mentality inexplicably.

She didn't want shopkeeper Shen like two years ago to appear again, and she didn't want her to be so sad again.

At the beginning, Rouge felt that it was too arrogant to have such an idea.But after these two years, she has been able to accept this mentality well.

As long as you don't say it, no one will know, right?

Shen Cuo took Rouge back to the room - this was not only the girl's boudoir, but also Shen Cuo's room, so Shen Bing could only wait outside.

"Shopkeeper Shen...can you let me get the letter?"

"You take it..."

Rouge looked down at the hand she was still holding, and said helplessly, "Can you let me go first? I put the letter in the box."

Shen turned his head by mistake: "Where did you put it? I'll help you open the box."

Shen Cuo obviously made up his mind to keep pulling her. While Rouge thought it was funny, the idea in her heart gradually became clear.

"Okay then, shopkeeper Shen, please help me open the box here."

Rouge and Shen are in the wrong room, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have privacy.The cabinets of the two are separate, and Rouge also has her own box and lock.

It's just that she never locks it. After all, if Shen Cuo really wants to explore her privacy, how can a mere lock stop it?

Shen Cuo pulled her to the side of the cabinet, lifted the heavy solid wood cover with a slight lift of his hand: "Is this here?"

Carmine embroidered handkerchief sachets, single clothes, winter clothes, and old clothes that can no longer fit are neatly stacked from top to bottom in the box, and the letter is stuffed in the middle of the clothes.

Shen Cuo looked at the things in her box, the anger on his face slowly turned into embarrassment, and when Yanzhi reached out to win the letter, he suddenly asked: "Yanzhi, do you want to have a room of your own?"

Rouge paused for a moment with her hand in her clothes, and subconsciously clenched it into a fist, but there was still a smile on her face, and she just showed a little puzzlement: "Do you want to sleep alone?"

Shen Cuo's cheeks bulged slightly, and he said unhappily: "It's not whether I want to sleep alone, but do you want to? You have warmed the bed for me for so many years, and now that you have grown up, you want your own room, right?"

Yan Zhi's eyes widened, and she asked uncertainly, "Master Shen...do you think I've grown up?"

Before that, Shen Cuo's attitude towards her was like treating a child no matter how you looked at it.

Yan Zhi originally thought that Shen Cuo would never look at her like an adult, but today she heard this by accident.

When Shen Cuo was asked this question, he also showed some surprise.She first carefully looked at the rouge——

Rouge's height has reached her chin. Compared with her thin body in the past, there is no difference between her and her peers now.

For a girl of fourteen or fifteen, if she had to say something, she must have grown up.After all, at this age, many people are starting to talk about marriage.

But if it hadn't been said from his own mouth, Shen Cuo found that he hadn't noticed it before.

She unexpectedly remembered what Huo Zisu had said - even if a woman sleeps with a woman, it can ruin the reputation of the girl's family.
