Take a Sigh

Gong Shutong's arrival was completely unexpected by Shen Zhuo. It was ten years since she had seen her. The little girl who was still chasing after him at the beginning had grown into a slim girl.

Bright eyes are good to look at, lips are red and teeth are white.A small round face the size of a palm, eyes curved like crescent moons when smiling, clear and transparent, like a deer in the forest, cute and cute.

Back then when the counterfeit caused a catastrophe, she was the only one who was willing to speak up for Shen Zhuo and firmly believed that Shen Zhuo was taken away by others.She stood up at that time and caused herself a lot of trouble.But she didn't back down, she insisted on her own opinion, forcing Gong Shuqiong to come to Shen's family to discuss, and that's how the Taoist rumored divorce came about.

Gongshu Qiong just took her back and kept her under strict supervision, forbidding her to intervene in this matter.Although their public losers are not afraid of other forces, under such circumstances it will only intensify greater conflicts and will not help the Shen family at all.

Gong Shutong resisted, but she couldn't find the real Shen Zhuo, and everything she insisted on became meaningless.In the past four years, she has missed the real Shen Zhuo all the time, but she is weak and limited in what she can do.

Shen Zhuo slightly distanced himself from Gong Shutong and stroked her head, the expression on his face had changed from surprise to a smile.Gong Shutong's eyes were a little red, and the grievances and unwillingness that had been accumulated for many years burst out at the moment of contact with Shen Zhuo.

She had waited for this day for a long time, and finally she didn't have to face that impostor, watching him wantonly tarnish Shen Zhuo's reputation but was helpless.

"Brother Shen Zhuo, it's really great to have you back." Gong Shutong raised his head, tears welling in his eyes, reunited after a long absence, full of sadness and joy.

Shen Zhuo was overwhelmed with emotion for a moment, of course he understood what Gong Shutong meant when he said I'm back.Not to return to the Shen family, but to return to this body.

She has been persistently believing, waiting, and never giving up.

Shen Zhuo didn't know why she was so persistent, but it felt good to be believed and waited on by others. It was so warm that people couldn't help but stare at her.Unlike Ling Shuangxue who waited knowing the cause and effect, Gong Shutong relied on intuition and delicate thoughts.

In front of her, Shen Zhuo doesn't have to deny those things.He led the people towards Ling Shuangxue, handed him the breakfast in his hand, and called Gong Shutong into the room to discuss in detail.

Ling Shuangxue was carrying the wrapped oil-paper bag, not intending to stay. Seeing Gong Shutong entering the small hall, he prepared to go back to his room.

Shen Zhuo stopped him, lowered his eyes and said, "Master, won't you stay?"

Ling Shuangxue asked back: "You two reminisce about the past, is it appropriate for me to stay?"

"What's inappropriate? I didn't intend to hide my affairs from Master." Shen Zhuo smiled slightly. He and Gong Shutong talked about the past. Ling Shuangxue didn't listen now, and he wouldn't listen later. will tell him.

It's just that the meanings of the two are completely different. He doesn't regard Ling Shuangxue as an outsider, and naturally he doesn't want his relatives and friends to treat him as an outsider.

Ling Shuangxue was unmoved, his attitude today was a bit indifferent, as if deliberately building a high wall between him and Shen Zhuo.He pushes that he won't go, and staggers Shen Zhuo to move forward.

Shen Zhuo directly reached out and grabbed the wrist to pull him back, the corners of his mouth raised, and a dangerous smile flashed in his eyes.Before Ling Shuangxue reprimanded him, he forcibly led him into the small hall.

His strength dilutes Ling Shuangxue's alienation, and his eyes become dangerous.

Gong Shutong rested his chin on the table in a daze, raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue clasping their fingers.

Ling Shuangxue's impatience and anger were written all over her face, but Shen Zhuo didn't seem to notice, and pulled him in with a smile.

Gong Shutong regained her spirits, and she smelled something unusual.

When Amber brought her in just now, he only said that Ling Shuangxue was a distinguished guest who came to visit, but he didn't tell Gong Shutong the specific identity in detail.Gong Shutong only saluted without asking him.

Gong Shutong saw the breakfast in Ling Shuangxue's hand, which was still in Shen Zhuo's hand just now.

Shen Zhuo pulled Ling Shuangxue to sit down, seeing Gong Shutong's eyes fluctuating between them, he said openly and frankly: "Tongtong, let me introduce you, this is my master, Ling Jianzun."

Gong Shutong's thoughts of gossip were completely defeated by Ling Jianzun's three words, and he quickly put away his little thoughts about watching the show, sat upright, and said respectfully: "So it's Ling Zun, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it just now, please forgive me .”

Ling Shuangxue was sullen, and Shen Zhuo revealed his identity like this. Did he trust Gong Shutong too much, or did he tell him on purpose?

Under Ling Shuangxue's oppressive eyes, Shen Zhuo talked and laughed happily, "But because of some reasons, we call him Mr. Zhuo now."

Gong Shutong said clearly: "I understand, I understand. For a big man like the Venerable, he must have several identities to cover his eyes. Then I will also call you Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Zhuo. It's a pleasure to meet you, little girl Gongshu Tong."

Gongshu Tongsheng's exquisite heart is not pretentious, Shen Zhuo just mentioned it briefly, and she understood what it meant.

Ling Shuangxue was unhappy with Shen Zhuo, but there was no need to get angry with Gong Shutong, and the little girl didn't provoke him.He shook off Shen Zhuo's hand, untied the breakfast he brought, put it on the table, and said to Gong Shutong: "You haven't eaten since you came here, have you? Have some together."

The things Shen Zhuo bought were not many, but the styles were complete, most of them were according to Ling Shuangxue's taste.From pastries to desserts, not only are they exquisitely made, but they also taste good.

Gong Shutong just glanced at it and guessed that this thing was specially bought for Ling Shuangxue. How could she be so popular?

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo, but I had already eaten when I came here." Gong Shutong smiled like a flower, innocent and kind.

Ling Shuangxue didn't say anything, didn't care about Shen Zhuo, and ate alone.

Shen Zhuo poured a cup of tea for Gong Shutong and asked, "Are you here alone? Is your sister willing to let you go?"

Gongshuqiong took care of Gongshutong closely, because she was afraid that she would intervene in Shen Zhuo's affairs beyond her control, so she would not let Gongshutong leave the house easily.

Shen Zhuo saw only Gong Shutong today, and there were no guards around him. After the joy and sadness of the reunion in his heart, he began to feel a little worried, and said, "You didn't sneak out alone, did you?"

Gong Shutong quickly shook his head in denial, and said: "My sister let me out, brother don't worry, I didn't cause any trouble."

Shen Zhuo was a little surprised, and Gong Shutong smiled with embarrassment.

Gong Shuqiong did know about her leaving home, but there was a small episode in the middle, Gongshu Qiong didn't know that she came to Huajincheng to see Shen Zhuo, but thought she was here to see Wen Runing.

A few days ago, Wen Runing sent a letter to the public loser, to the effect that he would come to Huajincheng in a few days, and asked if it would be convenient for Gong Shutong to meet.

With Wen Runing as cover, Gong Shutong naturally left the house smoothly.She just met Shen Zhuo at the same time as she was going to the appointment, so it's not considered cheating her sister.

It's just that Gong Shutong hasn't figured out how to talk to Shen Zhuo about Wen Runing's matter, so he can only fool around for the time being.

Shen Zhuo didn't delve into it. Since the person was safely in front of him, he would definitely protect him and not let Gong Shutong make any mistakes.

"Everyone says that my temperament has changed drastically, and I'm willing to degenerate. Why don't you believe me? You also caused all these unhappiness because of me and your sister. She has been angry with me all these years, right?"

The public loser is headed by a woman, and as the next head of the family, Gongshu Qiong is notoriously eccentric. Even though everyone has played with her since childhood, Shen Zhuo still can't figure her out.But I can be sure that she treats her only younger sister one-on-one, giving her what she wants, never ambiguous.

For Shen Zhuo, Gong Shutong opposed others and put himself in danger. Gong Shuqiong must have complaints in his heart.

"My sister said that you have no manliness, dare to do what you don't dare to do, and you are in vain. But you didn't do those things in the first place, and you were innocent as a scapegoat."

Gong Shutong defended Shen Zhuo, let alone in front of Shen Zhuo, she dared to say this even in front of others.

"We grew up together. I don't know what kind of temperament you are. I heard someone mention it before I met, and I felt that it was hard to describe, and I couldn't help feeling sad and indignant. After I saw the face, I realized that it was not you at all. It looks like They have the same face, but their behaviors are completely different."

Gong Shutong clenched his fists, thinking of what the counterfeit had done, his face was filled with righteous indignation, and he only wished he hadn't taken action to teach him a lesson.

"Silly girl, if you make a mistake, it will be me?" Shen Zhuo felt a little scared when he thought about it, Gong Shutong firmly believed that he was taken away, and it was impossible for the counterfeit to be unresponsive at the time: "The next time you encounter such a thing, Protect yourself first. Only when you are safe can you have a chance to tell the truth."

When the word "truth" was mentioned, Gong Shutong's expression was a little pale, his bright eyes dimmed, and he sighed: "Actually, at that time, the truth didn't matter anymore, right? Those aristocratic families finally found a chance to treat the Shen family Make a move, shuffle the power of the Taoist sect, so what if it's not real? What the counterfeit has done is the best knife for the Shen family. I only hate myself for being weak and unable to fight for my brother."

Gong Shutong sees it clearly, but sometimes people are like this, even if they understand it, they refuse to accept their fate.I always want to fight once, try once, and don't want to give up.

"It can't be completely blamed on them. At that time, there was no proof, and the Shen family couldn't argue. Our Shen family was doomed. I don't blame those who stood up to put pressure on the Shen family because the juniors in the secret realm were hurt. In the final analysis, the Shen family and them are just a simple exchange of interests, and there is no deep and inseparable friendship. When the bottom line is touched, it is only natural for them to take action."

There were too many factors for the Shen family's downfall, and it was impossible to attribute it to only one reason.Shen Zhuo had thought about this question before, and sooner or later he would let these aristocratic families know the truth about the secret realm.For nothing else, just seek the truth.

He won't hold on to these aristocratic families who watched indifferently. Behind the series of grievances, they are nothing compared to the real murderer.

"It's not that there is no evidence, it's just..." Gong Shutong hesitated to speak after hearing Shen Zhuo's words.She glanced at Ling Shuangxue vaguely, maybe she didn't know Ling Shuangxue deeply, she didn't have that kind of fear in her heart, and the only thing that could be equated in her mind was the word "Master".

Since Shen Zhuo left Ling Shuangxue, it was honesty.And Ling Shuangxue didn't respond after hearing so much, probably because she knew some truth.

Gong Shutong pondered for a moment, and under Shen Zhuo's questioning eyes, he said, "That person has shown his feet in the secret realm, and he doesn't know that the Shen family and the Duan family are related by marriage."
