One month after the Li family's funeral, Bai Xiuzhu stood in the crowd behind, not daring to go out, just watching like that.

Since the change of the wedding at the end of last month, Bai Xiuzhu has been locked in the room by Bai Xiongqi almost all the time. In fact, it can't be called locked up, but she is always followed by someone. She is exhausted physically and mentally, and she doesn't want to go out, so she stays in the room almost all day. Here, Ah Yue knew the outside news and talked to her occasionally, but most of the time she couldn't speak, so she let Bai Xiuzhu sit here.

Things have somehow come to a semi-stalled state.

She looked up at the sky outside the window, she should be glad that Bai Xiongqi agreed to let her go to see the funeral of Mr. Jing, and see the old man for a while.

But whose shadow is engraved in my heart?

It was the haggard man in hemp and mourning, Li Haoran.

Bai Xiongqi received a message, Ah Yue was in front of him, reporting how the young lady was doing, he felt that Xiuzhu should go out to relax, it is safe outside...

For this sister, he may not be without guilt, but for political interests, he has nothing to do. In his heart, Bai Xiuzhu is not as important as power, and he knows it very well.

Stepping up the stairs and knocking on the door of his younger sister's room, Bai Xiongqi saw her handsome back, with his arms on the balcony railing, looked outside, fell silent for a while, and then said: "Your house has been boring for so many days. Summer is coming to an end, why don't you come out?"

Bai Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't turn around, "Go out? If you don't go out when it's time to go out, what's the point?"

At the wedding, her brother shot at her future husband, and even used guns and knives at the wedding banquet. The whole wedding may have become a conspiracy. What else can Bai Xiuzhu say?Grandpa Jing passed away at the wedding banquet, and Bai Xiuzhu would not believe that the middle-aged man in the blue shirt who shot the gun had nothing to do with Bai Xiongqi, the underground pattern in Beijing might have changed.

"In short, things have stabilized now. There is absolutely no possibility for you and that Li Haoran. Now the Li family... Forget it, you will know when you go out and listen."

Bai Xiong got up and left anyway, he just came to inform Bai Xiuzhu that the invisible foot ban was finally resolved.

She stood there for a long time, then suddenly squatted down, buried her face in her arms, and shrugged her shoulders.

Ah Yue stood outside the door and watched for a while, then quietly left.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiuzhu finally went out, so she found a random teahouse and sat in it listening to others talking.

She looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, and suddenly remembered what happened after Du Jiu pulled her away more than a month ago.

In fact, nothing happened, Du Jiu just stood in the alley, she was still dazed.

Du Jiu said: "It's my benevolence not to participate in this matter."

From this sentence, Bai Xiuzhu can fully deduce that these people were planning to deal with the Li family together, but Du Jiu did not participate for some reason.

"Will he die?

Bai Xiuzhu just asked this question, and after she finished asking, Du Jiu didn't answer for a long time, she turned and left, but was held back by him again.

Du Jiu said, "Your brother asked me to drag you away."

Bai Xiuzhu's blood turned cold.

At that time, Du Jiu's eyes showed a bit of pity, but most of them were sad, and he didn't know whether it was for Bai Xiuzhu or Du Jiu.

She was still wearing a snow-white wedding dress, and she stood in front of the priest at the wedding hall last moment. After exchanging rings, she became Li Haoran's wife, but no - all this was not completed after all.

"What are you going back for? It's impossible for you."

Du Jiu's words were so cruel that she was startled. She felt sad, but she couldn't cry. She just leaned against the wall, as if she couldn't stand on her own.

She was silent for a long time, and then said coldly: "Miss Bai Mansion Qianjin, you don't like the hall, but ran away with another man, isn't that your real purpose?"

"...So in your eyes, I'm really so miserable." Du Jiu pulled the corners of her lips, smiled mockingly, but added, "But you guessed right, I'm just so miserable."

Bai Xiuzhu knew that along with this incident, there were some exaggerated rumors, such as the previous Cuihonglou incident, which were bound to be brought up again.

"You guys are not suitable from the beginning, you actually know it, but you want to force it, why bother?"

"I may not be incompatible with him, it's just that others want us to be inappropriate, and now it is indeed inappropriate." At that time, her words really had a calm and cruel flavor, and what she said was like a sharp knife Cut yourself open and let the blood drip.

After this series of events happened, Bai Xiuzhu would become Kefu's life according to the rumors, she would not be polite, and she might be beaten as Miss Wu Er, but she didn't care, because it was never those things that deserved her attention.

There are things that are just pain appendages.

In the end, it was Du Jiu who sent her back to the Bai mansion. When she went upstairs, she saw Bai Xiongqi coming out and talking to Du Jiu.

How many things are there that Bai Xiuzhu doesn't know?

The Li family is powerful, even if it is half-cleared, the other three families are very afraid. The Li family and the Bai mansion are married, and the other three families seem to want to grow, so they must attack the Li family. At this time, Bai Xiongqi The opportunity has come, he still needs political achievements, he needs to climb up, he needs to pull Jin Quan down, and he needs to have enough capital, so when Li Bai's family proposed marriage, he probably had already calculated it like this.

It's just that the middle-aged man in the blue shirt appeared later, probably not the other three families, because at that time the three families had already decided to join forces with the Li family to resist Bai Xiongqi, and it would be of no benefit to them to kill Mr. Jing, so it was impossible for them to do it.

Apart from them, only Bai Xiongqi was left, and the death of Mr. Jing would be beneficial to Bai Xiongqi.

Therefore, now between Bai Xiuzhu and Li Haoran, it is no longer a matter of identity and position, but hatred.

Grandpa Jing is dead, and Bai Xiongqi is in his hands.

And she, not by his side.

Bai Xiuzhu suddenly reached out and pressed the corner of her eyes, thinking that there were tears, but found that it was her own illusion.

She felt someone sitting down across from her, and when she looked up, it was actually Du Jiu.She almost thought that this person was from Beijing all the year round, not "Little Du" from Shili Yangchang.

She didn't know what to say, Du Jiu poured herself a cup of tea, and there were some ink stains on the collar of her white shirt, and she didn't know why.

He didn't seem to expect to meet Bai Xiuzhu here, he saw it from outside the restaurant, and he was hesitating whether to go in, but his legs had already been raised, so before he could react, he sat opposite Bai Xiuzhu.

"Miss Bai... Long time no see."

Du Jiu said so dryly.

Bai Xiuzhu had no feelings for Du Jiu at all, neither love nor hatred, she responded lightly: "Long time no see, I don't want Du Jiuye to be so idle at this time."

Du Jiuxin said that he was not free, "I just came from Shanghai to do some things, but here in Beijing, the sky has changed. Things on the road can affect the whole body."

Bai Xiuzhu didn't understand, she just waited for him to talk.

After all, he still wants to tell her, Du Jiu thought so, and moved his lips, "A month and a half ago, the four gods in the Forty-Nine City fell apart and started killing each other. The mouth is completely confused, and the other three families have been suppressed by Mr. Jing for a long time, and at this time they are fighting back frantically, Li Haoran—doing his best to turn the tide, found that the entire Forty-Nine City is almost occupied by him."

This news seemed to be shocking, but Bai Xiuzhu had an unexpected feeling.

It's just that the tears kept flowing in my heart, she thought, fortunately he is fine.

She didn't dare to inquire about him, nor did she dare to inquire about his affairs. She was afraid that she would hear bad news in her ears. She was afraid of death and tragic news, and she was going to be paranoid...

"Now Li Haoran's status in Beijing is not much different from Du Yuesheng's in Shanghai. The only difference is his qualifications."

Later Du Jiu said this.

Bai Xiuzhu smiled, "Compared to you?"

"Almost." Du Jiu pursed her lips, raised her brows, and seemed a little dissatisfied, but then smiled strangely again, "He and I are like friends or enemies, so that's it. Pulled you away."

Since being rejected last time, Du Jiu never talked about love. He seemed to just say casually to Bai Xiuzhu.But Du Jiu felt that, as a vulgar person, he really remembered such a sour sentence: love, you don't know where it starts, and it goes deeper and deeper.

Emotional matters, who said there is no love at first sight?

He, Du Jiu, joked, often from the bottom of his heart. When he told the truth, no one believed him. When he told lies, he could scare people around. Over time, he didn't know whether he was telling the truth or a lie, and whether it came from himself. Heart, do not know.

"It's okay to let the past go like this."

Bai Xiuzhu picked up the teacup, took a sip, got up and left, "Mr. Du, goodbye."

Mr. Du.

Du Jiu chewed on the title, these three words, and took a sip of tea, feeling extremely bitter.

He doesn't like Bai Xiuzhu, he likes Bai Xiuzhu, there is no difference, because Bai Xiuzhu doesn't like him.He was so stupid, he posted it so stupidly, but it just made her hate herself.

People always have to do so many things that they can't help themselves. He, Du Jiu, probably responded to that sentence, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

But the only thing he can gloat about is that Li Haoran found himself in the same situation.

Even if he controls the underworld in the city, he can't marry Bai Xiuzhu again unless he gives up everything - but there is only one end, he dies.

Once you enter the Tao, you can't stop even when you go to the dark, and you will die when you turn your head.

On the surface, Taoist priests value righteousness. Bai Xiuzhu is the sister of Li Haoran who killed his father and enemy. How can he marry her again?

Bai Xiuzhu, how should she deal with herself?

When he was still thinking, Bai Xiuzhu had already arrived at Liulichang, which was still Rongbaozhai, and there were some people inside, but when she stood outside, it felt like a lifetime away.

As soon as he stepped into the private room, he saw a tall and straight back, who seemed to be very depressed, standing by the bookshelf, with slender and strong fingers, with slightly curved arcs, pulled out an ancient book, turned sideways, the outlines were simple and powerful , like his whole body, clean and tidy.

Li Haoran felt that the light outside the door was blocked, turned his head, and saw that it was her, his heart was extremely calm, and he chuckled: "You are here."
