Rouge wrong

The eldest princess came in person, so it was impossible not to see her.In the end, Shen Cuo was still reluctant and went to the front hall to meet Liu Rongzhi.

Liu Rongzhi came to Jiangnan secretly this time, and the group traveled lightly, except for Jing Cheng and a nun who followed, there were only a few guards dressed in casual clothes.

As soon as Shen Cuo entered the front hall, he saw Liu Rongzhi sitting in a wheelchair with his back to the entrance, and Jing Cheng standing beside her.

It's just three years since we saw each other, Liu Rongzhi's hair is already full of gray hair.If it wasn't for Shen Cuo being familiar with her figure, and Jing Cheng serving at the side, it would be very difficult to recognize this is Liu Rongzhi at a glance.

Although Shen Cuo was still dissatisfied with not being able to be alone with Yan Zhi, but when he came back to his senses and saw Liu Rongzhi like this, he couldn't express it to her face to face.

"Mother……"

She called Liu Rongzhi faintly, and her brain started to turn again.

Shen Cuo doesn't believe that Liu Rongzhi came to Jiangnan to celebrate her birthday, if it's just for Baiyun Villa, it's fine, if there are other purposes... then she has to be more cautious.

Hearing Shen Cuo's voice, Liu Rongzhi turned the wheel and looked at her with a smile: "Wu Wang, how are you doing recently?"

Shen Cuo finally saw Liu Rongzhi's appearance clearly, and was even more surprised in his heart.

Liu Rongzhi's appearance is not obviously older than three years ago, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her weak demeanor and dull eyes still make her look old.

The eldest princess, who was once pampered and magnificent, could not escape the trials and tribulations of the years after all, and perhaps it just proved the saying that there is nothing more sorrow than death.

But Shen Cuo still didn't dare to take Liu Rongzhi lightly. Who knew that her dead heart would revive due to some kind of opportunity?

"I'm fine. What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

Shen Cuo asked unceremoniously, but Liu Rongzhi didn't care about her unreasonableness, and kept a smile on his face.

"The emperor sent Wen Shi to Jiangnan, I was afraid that she would not be able to support her alone, so this time I brought a soldier talisman.

In case of any disturbance, the troops in the south of the Yangtze River can be mobilized at any time. "

In fact, sending the Beijing camp soldiers to the south of the Yangtze River was only a deterrent, showing the court's determination to this end.

This time it was different, the imperial court was seriously guarding against the possibility of turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, so Liu Rongzhi was asked to bring the Tiger Talisman to help out.

"Just because of this?"

Shen Cuo knew about Liu Rongzhi's previous assassination, and also knew that it was because of the Huanhua League's troubles that she was able to save her life.If her previous guess was correct, then Liu Rongzhi might have guessed it too.

She had to be on guard, Liu Rongzhi went to Jiangnan this time to find Shen Yunpo.

"This is the main purpose. In addition, I also want to meet you and have a good birthday for you."

Shen Cuo showed doubts on his face, and Jingcheng sensed her distrust, and said angrily: "My aunt came all the way by boat in order to catch up with your birthday, and she didn't take a good rest. You know that today is also her birthday, what are you doing?" manner?"

Shen Cuo really didn't know that today was also Liu Rongzhi's birthday, just like Liu Rongzhi didn't care much about her before, she didn't care about Liu Rongzhi's affairs at all.

Liu Rongzhi sighed, and said to Jingcheng, "Jingcheng, you go out first."

Jingcheng curled his lips in dissatisfaction, not daring to disobey his aunt's order, he gave Shen Cuo a glare and exited the door.

Shen Cuo snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "You guys are really affectionate aunts and nephews."

Liu Rongzhi ignored her cynicism, and said in a gentle tone: "Jingcheng is a good boy."

"Humph--"

Liu Rongzhi raised his head and "looked" at Shen Cuo, and said with a slight smile, "But you are my daughter."

Shen Cuo didn't expect to hear this sentence from her mouth, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"When the matter in the south of the Yangtze River is over, I will have no other worries. I plan to find an ancient temple in the deep mountains and die. The only thing I can't worry about is you."

Liu Rongzhi has already stood at the pinnacle of power that can be achieved in this life, except for the word love, she has no regrets.

The regret in this love word is not only love, but also includes the mother-daughter relationship between her and Shen Cuo.

"Don't you think it's too late to talk about this now? Besides, what should I worry about?"

"I also know it's too late, but it's better than waiting until I can't do anything."

Liu Rongzhi sighed slightly, "Wu Wang, I know you have no second thoughts, and even more dismissive of power struggles.

It's just that you are arrogant and have no scruples in words and deeds, and Shen's firm is the only one.

Your uncle can tolerate you as a junior, but what will the crown prince think when he succeeds in the future? "

Although the prince is praised for being honest and gentle, but he grew up watching the magnificent deeds of his father's generation, but he can only be a conservative king. God knows what he will think in the future.

"I don't care what he thinks. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I won't make him feel better!"

Liu Rongzhi sighed helplessly—in order to let the prince stand up, the emperor let the prince take charge of this incident, and the first thing the prince did was to investigate the relationship between the person who assassinated her and Tianming Sect.

This is another reason why Liu Rongzhi rushed to Jiangnan in a hurry.

It is not surprising that the prince and Shen Cuo have almost no intersection.But this also made Liu Rongzhi realize that even if Shen Cuo made a slight misstep in the future, this nephew would never miss his old love.

Furthermore, Shen's firm is still developing and growing. When the crown prince becomes the emperor, either because he is afraid that it will become a hidden danger, or because he is dissatisfied with the little bonus, it is not impossible to take Shen by mistake.

Liu Rongzhi consciously didn't bring any family affection to Shen Cuo, at least before he died, he had to consider the possible hidden dangers for her.

Jingcheng and the crown prince have the same mother, which is one of the reasons why Liu Rongzhi handed over all the power in his hands to Jingcheng.

Although Jingcheng is honest with Shen Cuo, but he respects her the most as an aunt, and he also has a lot of affection, and he may be able to ease some of it in the future.

"You..."

Hearing her answer, Liu Rongzhi could only shake his head helplessly.Although she no longer insists on Shen Cuo getting married and having children, she still hopes that there will be someone who she cares about and loves, and who can control her.

Shen Cuo's fearless temperament, the reason why he was able to bear the burden of humiliation and compromise was because he cared about Shen Yunpo.Love makes people know forbearance and fear, and makes people care more about their own lives.

After Shen Yunpo was gone, although Shen Cuo grew up a lot overnight, his nature remained unchanged.

In fact, Liu Rongzhi really hoped that in his lifetime, he would see the person who could control her appear.

In this way, she can go with a little more peace of mind.

"Is that all you want to say?"

Shen Cuo showed an impatient look. On the one hand, she was still thinking about Rouge.

On the other hand, he was a little uncomfortable with Liu Rongzhi's seemingly sincere care.

"Ah..." Liu Rongzhi sighed, "If you don't want to hear me, I won't talk, but before returning to Beijing, I want to live with you."

"Huh? Why?"

"Your place is safer than the government office. I was assassinated just before..." Liu Rongzhi shifted his gaze to the outside of the door, "Anyway, you already have guests here, so there won't be any more than me, right?"

Shen Cuo's originally relaxed expression immediately became vigilant, and his voice was also tinged with anger: "How do you know? Are you still watching me?"

"I didn't spy on you, and it's purely a coincidence that I know this."

It is not accurate to say that it is a coincidence, because Si Ming told her about it.Liu Rongzhi had never met Bai Linqiu, but she knew Bai Yan, and the fact that she was Bai Yan's daughter was enough to arouse her vigilance.

Besides, Si Ming wrote to her specifically to inform her about this, obviously because he was worried about Bai Linqiu.

It's just that Bai Linqiu hid it too deeply and won Bai Quan's trust, so he could only remind her in this way.

"I heard that Miss Bai is pregnant, and you are inexperienced, so I'm afraid it's because you didn't take good care of her.

I brought a very experienced nanny this time, let her serve Miss Bai. "

"Do you know Bai Linqiu?"

Liu Rongzhi shook his head: "I don't know her."

"Then why are you so kind?"

Liu Rongzhi looked at Shen Cuo, and said meaningfully: "Well... Maybe seeing her reminds me of my former self."

Yanzhi managed to persuade Shen Cuo to see Liu Rongzhi, and she went to arrange a residence for Liu Rongzhi.

Whether she can live is Liu Rongzhi's business, but as a daughter, Shen Cuo can't lose courtesy both emotionally and rationally.

Moreover, Yan Zhi knew that things were not peaceful recently, and Liu Rongzhi came to Yanzhou at this time, there was a high possibility that he was planning something, and the possibility of choosing to live here was very high.

Rouge arranged for someone to clean up the room, went to the kitchen to check the progress of today's banquet preparations, and then hurried to the front hall with refreshments, but she was stopped by the guard before she got close to the front hall.

Jingcheng was worried that Liu Rongzhi would conflict with Shen Cuo again, so he didn't dare to leave outside the door.

Seeing Yanzhi at this time, she stepped forward and explained: "My aunt is talking with my cousin, and I don't want anyone to disturb you. You can take these refreshments back."

Yanzhi knew Jingcheng, Fushen said: "The princess has worked hard, there is a gazebo in the courtyard, you might as well go there to rest for a while, eat some tea and cakes and take your time."

Jing Cheng had some impressions of this maid that Shen Cuo had been with him all the time, but he didn't expect that after three years of absence, the little girl had grown into a graceful and beautiful girl.

"Are these for me?"

Rouge smiled and nodded: "You can see the front hall from the gazebo, you can rest assured to wait there, and you won't miss your business."

In the past, Jingcheng only thought of her as a little girl that Shen Cuo brought by his side to relieve boredom.

Unexpectedly, although she is young now, she is so thoughtful in doing things - anyway, it is impossible for Shen Mi to order her, it can only be her own thinking.

"Alright, I'll wait in the gazebo." Jing Cheng looked at Yan Zhi in front of him, feeling a little interested, "You come with me, I have something to ask you."

Although Jing Cheng was not familiar with Rouge, he knew a lot about Si Ming and Wen Shi.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the people around Shen Cuo were indeed very talented.She didn't expect Shen Cuo to pry the corner of the wall, but she was very curious about it.

After all, in her opinion, Shen Cuo himself is really not very good, why is there are some good people around him.

If the Siming and others can still be attributed to Shen Yunpo's teaching, then what about this Rouge?
