The next morning, just as daybreak approached, a panicked voice came through the crack in the door.

Maybe it was because they were far away, so the panic movement was not very obvious. Zhao Shu closed her eyes and yawned slightly. Maybe the quilt was too soft, Zhao Shu twisted her body, allowing the quilt to tightly wrap her shoulders exposed to the air, and then she fell asleep comfortably.

The room was completely silent, one second, two seconds, three seconds.
Zhao Shu stood up suddenly, her relaxed expression disappeared, and she turned to look at the door with a frown.

Then he retracted his gaze, stared blankly at the ground, and muttered to himself: "Do I have to take this step?"

"bang"

The door was pushed open with great force, and Ah Ling ran in in a panic. She squatted in front of the bed and looked at Zhao Shu with disbelief on her face: "Girl, the eldest girl is gone!"

Zhao Shu's drooped eyes trembled, and her left hand slightly tightened the quilt on her body.

Ah Ling swallowed her saliva and said carefully, "Some people say that the third girl was killed by the eldest girl. Do you think this is true?"

"If it's true, it's too creepy. This girl usually looks quiet and gentle, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious heart."

Zhao Shu didn't say anything, she just threw off the quilt and got up from the bed.

Ah Ling looked at her daughter's calm expression and felt a little puzzled. Why wasn't her daughter shocked at all by this matter?

"Let's go." Zhao Shu, who had already put on her clothes, said in a light tone.

"what?"

"Go to cousin Yijing's courtyard." Zhao Shu explained.

Hearing this, Ah Ling quickly closed her slightly open mouth, stood up quickly and followed Zhao Shu.

Looking at Zhao Shu who was walking forward with her head down, Ah Ling wanted to say something several times, but for some reason she couldn't open her mouth.

Weird!

On the way to Zhang Yijing's yard, suddenly a strong force climbed up Zhao Shu's arm and pulled her back hard!
Zhao Shu looked up blankly and saw Ah Ling looking at her with concern. Her wandering gaze finally came back.

After giving Ah Ling a soothing smile, his eyes fell on the smooth jaw of the person beside him. He pursed his lips slightly and gently pulled the arm that was hurt by Xie Jin.

Feeling her struggle, Xie Jin did not let go and just stared at her motionlessly.

Zhao Shu pulled it but it didn't move, so she could only look up at him and said helplessly: "Thank you, Master, you hurt me."

Xie Jin's expression didn't change at all, but the force he pulled on her was much weaker.

As he relaxed his strength, Zhao Shu pulled her arm out of his hand.

The warmth in his hand disappeared instantly. Xie Jin felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but after a while, he put his hand down naturally.

Xie Jin's eyes fell on Zhao Shu's face, and his expression was unspeakably gentle.

Xie Jin looked into the corner of her eyes, and when he saw that there was no suspicious blush, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. At least she didn't cry!
Because the gaze on her was too scorching, Zhao Shu's cheeks felt slightly hot. She turned her body uncomfortably, trying to avoid Xie Jin's gaze.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu's little movements, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he gently said: "Cousin Shu'er, why is your face red, are you sick?"

After saying that, he looked at her worriedly, and still raised his hand to cover Zhao Shu's forehead.

Whether intentionally or not, Xie Jin's fingertips gently scratched her forehead. Suddenly, a wave of heat surged from her neck to the top of her head. Zhao Shu blushed and quickly took a step back. After the heat subsided a little, she lowered her head and whispered, "No."

Zhao Shu lowered her head, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Xie Jin's hand. After staring at it for a few seconds, her gaze suddenly seemed to be burned by something, and she moved away in panic. The place on her forehead felt like it was scratched by a feather, itchy and numb.

Just now the prince called the girl several times, but she didn't hear him and almost bumped into a tree. Now her cheeks are red again. Is she really okay?

Ah Ling asked worriedly, "Miss, are you really not sick?"

Perhaps because of her own reaction just now, coupled with Ah Ling's ignorant words, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. She glared at her quietly and said word by word: "No, no!"

Ah Ling was confused by the stare from her girl. She thought about it but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she could only give her girl a flattering smile.

Xie Jin walked to Zhao Shu's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. He turned his head and looked at her, saying gently, "Let's go together."

Zhao Shu raised her eyes and looked at him. The lively expression just now faded instantly, and she nodded at him: "Yeah."

The two of them raised their feet at the same time and walked in the same direction in unison.

Ah Ling looked at the two people's backs in confusion. Why did she feel that there was something strange between the girl and Master Xie? As she watched the two people walking further and further away, Ah Ling stopped thinking and hurriedly followed them.

In less than a moment, they arrived at Zhang Yijing's yard, but before they entered, they heard mournful wails coming from inside.

Zhao Shu paused, her eyes lowered to the ground, making it hard to tell what she was feeling. After a short pause, she walked inside.

Xie Jin, whose eyes were always on her, watched her movements and followed her.

Everyone in the room was immersed in the scene before them, and no one noticed the appearance of Zhao Shu and the others.

Zhao Shu looked up and saw Li Ruomei hugging Zhang Yijing tightly, who had her eyes closed and a peaceful expression, sobbing intermittently in her throat.

Looking at Zhang Yijing again, if it weren't for her pale face and dark purple lips, no one would have thought that a person who was still fine yesterday was gone this morning.

Zhang Xuanyu sat on the chair with a look of dejection in his eyes. He turned his head to look at his silent daughter on the bed, but soon withdrew his gaze reluctantly. Why?

Zhang Xuanliang, who was sitting nearby, looked at the contents of the letter in his hand. His expression did not show much sadness, but rather a hint of excitement.

His own daughter died and he didn't even cry, so what does it have to do with him if someone else's daughter died!

Zhao Shu retracted her gaze. She didn't need to read the contents of the letter. Just by looking at her third uncle's expression, she knew what was written in the letter!
Zhang Xuanliang's eyes flashed as he looked at the letter. His expression changed from indifference to sorrow. He handed the letter to Zhang Xuanyu with trembling hands.

Zhang Xuanyu didn't answer. He just read the contents of the letter in this way. After reading it, he looked at Zhang Xuanliang with an expression that was hard to describe. He looked straight at him and said, "Third brother, what do you mean by this?"

Being looked at like this by his elder brother, he was still a little scared, and said stiffly: "Brother, don't look at me like that. Although the fault lies with us, it's not fatal. Yi Jing's hands are stained with the blood of her own sister."

.

Zhao Shu looked at the scene indifferently, then turned and left.

When Xie Jin saw Zhao Shu leaving, he followed her.

He walked quickly to Zhao Shu's side and adjusted his pace to match hers. Without saying a word, he just walked slowly beside her.

"Not everyone is as lucky as my sister to experience the love of a mother."

Maybe it was because it was too quiet at the moment, or maybe it was because of some other factors, which led her to want to talk to the person next to her.

Xie Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I don't know about others, but if she is my child, I will definitely let her feel my love for her." His eyes were fixed on Zhao Shu.

Seeing Xie Jin looking at her with unclear eyes, Zhao Shu's emotions that she wanted to vent suddenly burst out and she immediately lost the desire to speak.

Well, some people really can’t be serious for more than three seconds, and she was just naive.

Zhao Shu returned to her previous expressionless face and continued walking forward.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu's silent back, hooked his lips imperceptibly, then took a step forward with his long legs and followed her.

He glanced at Zhao Shu who ignored him and asked knowingly, "Why don't you speak?"

Zhao Shu pursed her lips, ignored him and continued walking forward.

"Hmm?" Xie Jin took a step forward with his long legs and stood in front of Zhao Shu with his whole body.

The shadow covered her eyes. Zhao Shu looked up and looked helplessly at the handsome face in front of her: "Yeah."

Xie Jin raised an eyebrow: "Just one word?"

"Uh-huh."

Maybe he was dissatisfied with her answer, the figure in front of him didn't move at all, and he had a vague feeling that he was going to fight with her.

Ok
Zhao Shu raised her head, her eyes sincere, and said seriously: "I believe that you will be a good father, my lord."

Xie Jin seemed to have not expected her to say that, and his smiling expression was slightly stunned.

Then he turned his face to the side uncomfortably and moved away.

Looking at the person in front of her who was embarrassed because of a sentence, Zhao Shu wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Can't laugh, otherwise this person in front of me will make trouble
Xie Jin was in a trance, and he didn't even notice Zhao Shu walking away. His eyes fell on the ground, and the corners of his lips gradually curved up, getting bigger and bigger.

After a long while, Xie Jin calmed down, turned his head to the side, and wanted to say something modest: "I'm not as good as you say!"

people!

A crow standing on a branch suddenly leaped up, disturbing the silence of the garden.

Quack. Quack. Quack.
She actually, actually left like this!

Xie Jin looked at the empty surroundings with disbelief!

Prince Xie, who was still feeling ashamed and angry, suddenly thought of something. The corners of his mouth curved again and he smiled. He looked around quickly, and there was only trees and the lake, no one else. His heart suddenly relaxed.

Forget it, considering that she just praised him, he would reluctantly forgive her for leaving without saying goodbye.
