Rouge wrong

It has always been a way for girls to express their yearning for jade pendants given to their sweethearts.

Looking at the gold inlaid jade carved with dragon and phoenix, Yan Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sinking in her heart.

Shen Cuo glanced at the jade pendant, and said indifferently: "This thing is not a family heirloom, is it? You should keep it for yourself, I am not short of these gold, silver and jade articles."

Bai Linqiu was not discouraged by her refusal, and insisted: "I know that Master Shen doesn't lack these things, but I just want to express my feelings.

You have helped me gratuitously, past and present, and I have never had the opportunity to repay you. "

Shen Cuo frowned and said: "I didn't do anything, it was just a matter of convenience, and I didn't expect you to repay."

There were tears in Bai Linqiu's eyes: "But if I don't repay you, I will feel uneasy."

Although Shen Cuo has always been self-centered and doesn't consider adults very much, but when he treats women——

Especially good-looking women are born with a feeling of pity and pity.

Otherwise, she would not have persuaded Bai Linqiu to leave Baiyun Villa, let alone rescue the hostile Huo Zisu.

"Trouble." Seeing Bai Linqiu looking like he was about to cry, Shen Cuo had no choice but to reach out and take the jade pendant, "If you can stop thinking about such trivial details, you won't be bullied to such an extent by Shen Zheng and your father gone."

When Bai Linqiu saw her subordinates, a happy smile appeared on his face: "I don't have the strong martial arts and foresight of Master Shen, so I can't do big things, so I can only think about these details..."

Shen Cuo lowered his head and glanced at her belly, sighed and said: "If you grew up in an ordinary family and married a good man, you can live a safe and happy life with your husband and children.

It's a pity that you are the daughter of Bai Yan... Forget it, you didn't choose the wrong path in the end, if you can get rid of the crime this time, I will shamelessly ask the court for you. "

Bai Linqiu showed gratitude, and made a gesture of obeisance: "Thank you Master Shen."

Shen Cuo didn't like these vain courtesy, but he knew that telling Bai Linqiu that these were just playing the piano to a cow, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhi, who was standing by the side, took a step forward at this moment, held Bai Linqiu's arm, and said softly: "Miss Bai, our shopkeeper Shen doesn't like these vain gifts, let alone you are pregnant, so you should take care of your own body." Bar."

Only then did Shen Cuo echo it: "That's right, I don't like these vain gifts. I've accepted the gift. You can take a walk in the yard or go back to your room to rest."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Bai Linqiu's reaction, took Yan Zhi's hand, and said anxiously: "We need to hurry up, otherwise no matter how good I am, I won't be able to finish the painting today."

Yan Zhi smiled apologetically at Bai Linqiu: "Miss Bai, if you have something urgent..."

"Oh, what's the rush for her here? Hurry up..."

Shen Cuo was in high spirits, so he didn't want to wait a little longer, and before Yan Zhi could finish speaking, he dragged her into the study, leaving Bai Linqiu alone in front of the door.

"Shopkeeper Shen, Miss Bai is a guest, isn't it good for us to neglect her like this?"

Yan Zhi showed concern, but Shen Cuo didn't care, and casually threw the piece of gold inlaid jade wrapped in Supa into Yan Zhi's arms: "Why are guests not guests? I treat her with all kindness and righteousness, do you still want me to curry favor with her?" ?

I couldn't talk to her together, and I was still angry when I saw it.Please keep this jade pendant for me, it won't be needed anyway. "

Rouge asked strangely: "Why are you angry when you see Miss Bai? Has she ever done anything to you?"

Shen Cuo took the painting tools and said: "What can she do to me? Huo Zisu's little girl is better than her in martial arts. I feel sorry for her misfortune and anger her, so I don't see it."

Yan Zhi couldn't help clenching the jade pendant in her hand: "You seem to... value Miss Bai very much."

Shen Cuo just spread out the drawing paper, when he heard Yan Zhi's words, he looked up at her suddenly: "You said I value Bai Linqiu?"

Rouge pursed her lips: "You treat Miss Bai very well and care about her, but you just don't know how to get along with her."

Shen Cuo stopped what he was doing, and his brows gradually gathered together: "Perhaps, you are right, I really don't know how to get along with her."

Rouge's heart trembled slightly, and she blurted out: "Why?"

Shen Cuo sat on the chair and stretched out his hand to pull Rouge into his arms.

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you as I draw."

Only then did Rouge realize her gaffe, and suddenly she became hot and her cheeks were flushed.

"I……"

Shen Cuo wrapped her in his arms, leaned over and took the inkstone, ink sticks and clear water one by one and put them in front of her: "You help me grind the ink first."

Rouge was a little flustered, and after a moment of hesitation, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the ink slowly.

Shen Cuo held Yanzhi in his arms, and slowly said while watching her rubbing ink: "Shen Zheng is my half-brother, but I didn't know his existence since I was a child, so when I met him for the first time, There is bound to be some trepidation in my heart.”

Rouge listened to the voice from behind, and rarely noticed a trace of sadness from it.

"You to your brother..."

Shen Cuo chuckled: "I don't have any feelings for my parents, so how can I have any expectations for this half-brother?

What shook me wasn't that there was an extra brother, let alone that this brother had a different stand than mine, but why my aunt didn't tell me about it. "

"Then did you know the reason later?"

Shen Cuo nodded: "Of course I know, it is because of his appearance that those past events that I don't know are involved."

Rouge quietly listened to Shen Cuo's recounting of the grievances between Shen Yunpo's brother and sister, Liu Rongzhi, Tianmingjiao and the royal family, and the movements of her hands gradually stopped.

Shen Cuo reached out to pick up the pen and dipped the tip of the pen in ink: "I know that my aunt killed my father, but I never hated her for it. My father deserved it, and I believe my aunt never regretted killing him, but for me Brother, her feelings must be contradictory."

The tip of the pen fell on the drawing paper, and with just a few strokes, Shen Cuo outlined a lifelike face.

Yan Zhi was fascinated by Shen Cuo's superb painting skills, and heard her continue: "My brother and I are both father's children, when we were just born, who can know who will be good and who will be bad in the future?

But when my elder brother was born, my aunt did not plant an innate qi for him, which fundamentally cut off the possibility of him being diligent in the "Xuan Shang Wu Jing Tian Gang Sutra", and also cut off the possibility of him becoming the leader. "

When Shen Cuo first met Shen Zheng, he received a lot of bewitching from him.Shen Zheng pretended to be a kind elder brother and told him a story about Shen Yunpo murdering his brother and usurping the throne.

It is said that Shen Yunpo left her in order to let the brothers and sisters kill each other when they grow up.

Naturally, Shen Cuo didn't fully believe in Shen Zheng, but he began to trace those past events from then on.

Naturally, Shen Yunpo discovered this matter, so there was an in-depth conversation between the uncle and nephew.

"I didn't understand at the beginning why I was the only one who was favored and loved by my aunt.

So because of Shen Zheng's lies, he felt sympathy for him and doubted his aunt. "

But time is the best proof. You can pretend to be kind to a person for a while, but it is impossible to not show your flaws from the beginning to the end.

Shen Cuo and Shen Yunpo get along day and night, although they will inevitably be bewitched by some lies mixed with the truth, but they will not blindly and thoroughly believe them.

"But you didn't betray Hierarch Shen just because of this little doubt, did you?"

Shen Cuo chuckled lightly: "I'm not that stupid after all, my aunt treats me so well, how can these people be able to obliterate it with a few words? What's more, Shen Zheng himself showed his feet later."

Shen Cuo went south to kill Shen Zheng.

She thought about it later, maybe this was one of the reasons why her aunt didn't want her to know about Shen Zheng's existence.

My aunt didn't want her to continue her fate of murdering her brother, but it's a pity that some fates are irresistible.

"At that time, I had actually seized the opportunity to kill him, but I let the tiger go back to the mountain because of the benevolence of a woman."

"Is it because of... Miss Bai?"

Shen Cuo nodded: "Do you think Bai Linqiu looks good?"

Yanzhi didn't expect Shen Cuo to ask this question, so she nodded subconsciously: "Miss Bai is naturally pretty."

Shen Cuo sighed: "Everyone thinks so, and so do I. She is the most beautiful woman in the orthodox martial arts world, and she has to wear a veil when she goes out. Although I think she is hypocritical, I have to say...it is necessary."

This off-topic topic made Rouge feel sour in her heart: "Just because Miss Bai is pretty, did you let Shen Zheng go?"

"Almost..." Shen Cuo seemed to be recalling the past, raised his head and sighed softly, "At that time, Bai Linqiu stood in front of Shen Zheng, wishing that one person would save his life. I refused to do so, but I didn't want to do it again. Be careful to scratch her face."

Rouge looked at the portrait drawn by Shen Cuo with a tangled face, and it was really hard to accept this reason.

Shen Cuo didn't notice Rouge's emotions at all, and continued: "I thought that if Bai Linqiu liked Shen Zheng so much, Shen Zheng still had some merits.

Besides, when Shen Zheng didn't commit any serious crimes, the two of them promised me to hide in the deep forest from now on and not care about worldly affairs..."

Even if Bai Linqiu was sincere, Shen Zheng might not be sincere. Even if Shen Zheng was sincere at the time, after the Tianming Sect was destroyed, those ambitions would inevitably revive.

Shen Cuo let the two of them go at that time, of course it was not all because of Bai Linqiu, but Bai Linqiu was indeed a cowardly step in her heart who didn't want to kill her brother, so it is reasonable to have such a contradictory attitude towards her now.

"Then Shopkeeper Shen, what kind of person do you think Miss Bai is?"

Rouge felt sour when she heard Shen mistakenly say that Bai Linqiu was beautiful.But until now, she still doesn't know how Shen Cuo thinks of Bai Linqiu.

Shen Cuo didn't hide it, and said openly: "I think Bai Linqiu is very pitiful."

"Miss Bai's current situation is indeed a bit difficult, but what I'm asking is not this, but what you think of her. Are you really treating her so well just because she looks good?"

"That's what I'm saying, and I feel sorry for her."
