Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 269 You Really Like Him

Xiao Muying chewed and swallowed slowly in her mouth, thinking over and over again in her mind what the purpose of Shen Muyu's question was.

After a long time, she swallowed all the food in her mouth, looked up at Shen Muyu, and said lightly: "I always do whatever I want, and I really can't explain why."

Shen Muyu stared fixedly at Xiao Muying's small face, but he couldn't see any emotion from her.

He paused for a while, then smiled lightly: "You are not a short-sighted person who acts according to your will. If you say that you have not planned carefully for the future, I don't believe it at all. Miss Xiao, I have no other intentions, but I am very puzzled why you I want to choose a down-and-out young man who has no power and power to assist me, and I ask you to solve my doubts."

Xiao Muying had no interest in continuing to eat, she put the remaining piece of steamed bun into an empty bowl, leaned back on the backrest, her brows and eyes were a little tired, which seemed a bit lazy.

She smiled lazily, and said lightly: "I said that I do whatever I want, but Shen Guojun doesn't believe it, so what else does Shen Guojun want me to say?"

Shen Muyu stared at Xiao Muying's lazily drooping eyes, and said word by word: "I want you to tell the truth."

"The truth?" Xiao Muying tilted her head slightly, put her right elbow on the armrest of the chair, supported her head with her right hand, lowered her eyes, and pretended to ponder for a while.

Then she raised her eyes to look at Shen Muyu, with a smug smile on her lips, and said, "What does Shen Guojun think is the truth?"

Shen Muyu quietly looked at Xiao Muying with a lazy posture. After a moment of silence, he slightly opened his lips and said softly: "You like son Jin."

Having said that, Shen Muyu's face remained calm as usual, and the dancing candlelight shone into his star-like eyes, and could not reveal any emotion.It's just that one of the hands on the knee hidden under the table suddenly clenched into a fist, showing that his state of mind is not as calm as it appears on the surface.

Hearing this, Xiao Muying raised her eyebrows lightly.

In the eyes of others, no matter whether she is a woman or not, she is just a counselor who came out of the Valley of Gods, so the most normal way for her is to choose a lord to assist her.

At the beginning, she tried to gain the trust and reliance of Duke Yun, but found that Duke Yun not only had no ambitions, but also did not agree with a woman like her who was doing power-seeking things in her heart, so she used the power of Duke Yun to develop With her own forces, she retaliated against and attacked Shen, and her plan to separate Chen, Jin, and Shen fell through, so she decided to assist a young master of Yun, and then use him to get what she wanted when he ascended the throne. everything of.

After a lot of deliberation, she finally chose to assist Yun Qingjin and embarked on the most difficult path. It was indeed an unwise choice in the eyes of others, but it was the first step she had to take.

It is precisely because Yun Qingjin is downcast, powerless and has no one around him, so when she supports him to a high position, his gratitude can give her what is necessary for her restoration and revenge——

Power, power, land, and people.

Just because of her status as a woman, it is extremely difficult to gain power and position. If she chooses to assist other powerful young masters, even if she is resourceful and finally gets the support of that young master, but the side of that young master will eventually be able to support her. There are many other counselors who, when he ascends to the throne, will never be grateful enough to let her enter the court or even occupy a high position despite the displeasure of the world.

Just because she is a woman, and trying to restore the country by herself in today's world, she can only choose the most difficult path, and grit her teeth to go on.

At this time, Xiao Muying was stunned for a moment, thinking in her heart amusedly, isn't the reason Shen Muyu said the most appropriate, this excuse can just cover up her real purpose.

After a while, Xiao Muying's small face showed a hint of embarrassment that the secret was discovered, her lips lost the smile, she looked directly at Shen Muyu indifferently, and asked in a low voice: "Are you How do you know? Are you investigating me?"

Shen Muyu's right hand on her knee was clenched more tightly, and the knuckles of her fingers turned white.It's just that there is still no emotion on his face, except that the corners of his mouth tugged a few times but he failed to reveal a slight smile, he was as usual.

Shen Muyu lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, then said softly: "You really like him..."
