For a moment, Liu Yingying was thinking quickly in her mind.
Mr. Shen Liu has expressed his feelings to his family. Looking at Shen Yuexi's behavior just now, it is not necessary to think about it. He knows that the master of the fourth house must be furious and will not agree easily. However, again, I heard that Mr. Shen Liu knelt in the courtyard last night, which means that Mr. Shen Liu has not given up yet, and his determination is not even inferior to hers.
This means that the matter has not reached the final step, and it is clear that there is no resolution yet.
Discussing parents is a long matter, with constant twists and turns. Success or failure cannot be determined in a day. As long as Mr. Shen Liu does not give up, everything may turn around.
Thinking like this, Liu Yingying came to the Shen family again. She turned over the roster she had made that day, and saw that the first thing that caught her eye was Shen Lang's name that Liu Yingying had crossed out with a brush. The rest was Shen Lang's name. The names of Ye and Shen Mo were crossed out by her.
Looking at the list for a long time, Liu Yingying picked up her pen again, and as if to vent her anger, she put two more big crosses on Shen Lang's name.
After doing all this, he moved his eyes and drew a circle around the word "Chen Qing". Although the hope was slim, there might be a miracle.
At the same time, Liu Yingying suddenly remembered Su Zizhan when he was playing pot that day. Su Zizhan's pot throwing skills were obviously superb. If Miss Shen hadn't held back that day, Su Zizhan would have become a blockbuster that day. , is a low-key and gentle person.
I heard that the brothers of the Su family lost their mother freely, and that their father was a rare upright official. His talent, temperament, and temperament were even better than those of Mr. Shen Liu. His family background was not overly prominent, and his inner house was simple and clean. It is actually the best choice. I even helped Liu Yingying once.
In fact, when she first came to the Shen family, Liu Yingying paid special attention to this person. However, she heard that Mr. Su lived in the academy with the other young masters in the mansion. She had only met him once in the Shen family for so long. In addition, thinking of Shen Yue's shy blush that day and Su Ziqing's inexplicable hostility and concern for her, Liu Yingying finally became a little less concerned.
But he still raised his pen and wrote Su Zizhan's name on the book.
Sure enough, when this matter reached the ears of the old lady, she saw that the old lady had not expressed any opinions on Liu Yingying. She only raised her eyebrows with a faint look and said: "Xiao Liu is good at everything, but he is a little too refined." , with such a temperament, he will have to endure a lot of hardships once he becomes an official, so it would be a good thing to get started early and suffer some hardships early."
For a moment, he was relieved and distressed: "The children are all grown up."
"What is going to come will come."
However, he said that after Shen Qing woke up from a coma that day, he had not taken in any water and had not eaten or drank for three days, as if he was fighting to the end with his parents. However, after three days, he had actually lost a lot of weight.
Seeing that his son was wasting his life, the fourth master was so angry that he had a big quarrel with Youshi. Seeing that her husband was divorced and her son was so stubborn, Youshi felt hatred in her heart, but she did not dare to gamble with her son's life. Later, she finally relented, but only said with a tired look on her face: "That girl will never be able to be the head and mistress of my Shen family. If she is willing, I can turn a blind eye." I will carry her in, but this will have to wait until my son wins the exam."
After saying that, Youshi closed her eyes and said: "Otherwise, if you don't eat or drink anymore, I will starve with you because of my mother. Instead of watching my son be destroyed in the future, it would be better for me as a mother." Now it’s better to die cleanly.”
But when she learned that Mr. Shen Liu had refused to eat or drink for three days and was stubbornly resisting by Si Fang, Liu Yingying finally couldn't sit still. She took out a unicorn jade pendant from the cage.
I saw that the jade pendant was warm and moist in quality and in excellent condition. It was the best of jade. Liu Yingying held the jade tightly tightly for a long time. Taking advantage of the dusk and night, relying on the vague impression in her memory, she found Qin. Come to a rock entrance in the forest opposite Fangyuan.
That day, Shen Lang carried her into the forest, and not long after, he entered a secret passage.
Liu Yingying bravely found a secret passage and she walked slowly in the winding secret passage while holding the fire stick.
As he walked, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a structure underground under the Shen family. Who knew how many secrets the family business had hidden for hundreds of years?
The secret passage is intricate and complicated, like a maze. Once inside, you will see three or four secret passages converging, each leading to different directions. Liu Yingying relied on her strong sense of direction to follow a main road leading to the main room. , after nearly half an hour, a stone door was finally opened successfully.
The secret room hidden in the Taoyuan rockery that Liu Yingying had visited suddenly appeared in front of her.
It's just that the secret room is empty at this moment.
There was no sign of Shen Lang.
Liu Yingying visited the entire secret room. Finally, she sat in front of the desk on the wall of books. She saw a book on the desk. Liu Yingying opened it casually. It was a copy of the "Tao Te Ching". Liu Yingying read The moment I read the Tao Te Ching, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
Tao Te Ching!
Does the word morality have anything to do with that person?
She was sarcastic in her heart, and then she stood up slowly and casually selected in front of the bookshelf. She saw a scroll scroll on the innermost side of the bookshelf. Liu Yingying thought it was the one she had lost that day, so she immediately went to get it, but she got it in her hand. At that time, I saw that it was clearly not the case. The axis of the painting that day was clearly different from this pair.
After hesitating for a moment, he was about to open it slowly when he suddenly heard the sound of the stone door behind him.
Liu Yingying immediately stuffed the scroll back in.
When Shen Lang entered the secret room, what he saw was Liu Yingying holding his "Tao Te Ching" and reading lightly.
Her posture is upright and not hooked at all, but her temperament is clearly lazy and her posture is distinct and graceful.
Everywhere in the body, there is no aura that matches the book.
Seeing him appear, she finally raised her head and looked in his direction casually.
Chapter 082
Four eyes facing each other——
One has a cold expression and his eyebrows are lightly swept.
One is lazy and careless.
There was no excessive expression on the faces of the two of them, and they were as relaxed and at ease as if they were both the owners of this secret room. There was neither any surprise nor any ripples at the appearance of the other person.
During the confrontation between the two, no one spoke for a while.
Or Wu Yong saw the young master standing in front of the stone gate and refused to leave. He didn't know why. For a long time, he only called out suspiciously: "Young master?"
The moment this question rang out, I suddenly realized that something was wrong!
No, there's someone in the secret room!
In an instant, his hands were placed on his waist, and he was about to pull out the sword from his waist fiercely.
At this time, Shen Lang slowly stepped into the secret room with his hands behind his back. Wu Yong immediately followed him with a vigilant look. When he raised his eyes, he saw the graceful figure sitting in front of the young master's desk. .
Liu...Miss Liu?
The moment he saw Liu Yingying appear in the secret room, Wu Yong stared slightly, thinking he was dazzled.
It's not just why Liu Yingying appears here, but also that only the young master can sit in that position.
Even he has never sat down.
Shen Lang rarely goes through the front door when he goes out. He likes to be quiet. Unless there are special circumstances, he rarely shows up in front of people. He usually takes secret passages when he goes out to do errands, and not many people in the Shen family know about this secret passage. Only the heads of the Shen family know about it, and these heads have never been in the habit of walking on secret passages, so only the young masters take this secret passage.
When Wu Yong was ordered to go out on errands, the young master usually sat here and waited quietly.
Wu Yong has never seen anyone sitting in this position except the young master.
Looking at the entire Yuqing Courtyard, no one dares to sit in the young master's seat.
However, at this moment, Miss Liu actually sat there. Not only did she sit, she also looked through the young master's book. She was as leisurely and content as if she were sitting in her own boudoir, completely absent. Any discomfort, as if she is the owner here.
The key is, it's so natural and there's no sense of violation at all.
The key thing is that the young master doesn't seem to have any displeasure.
Wu Yong was vaguely aware of some of the...er...relationships between the two of them. He was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing. He quickly adjusted his enthusiastic expression and only raised a big smile. , then he smiled at Liu Yingying and said: "Miss Liu——"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he saw that Miss Liu closed the Tao Te Ching in her hand with a calm expression. She didn't even glance at Wu Yong's direction with her eyes, and then she went straight He raised his chin lightly and said straight to the point: "I want to make a deal with Mr. Shen!"
While talking, Liu Yingying took out the jade pendant from her arms, slapped it on the desk.
He tapped lightly on the table with his fingers and spoke nonchalantly.
Wu Yong looked along the desk and saw that what was fastened on the desk was the unicorn jade that the young master had disappeared from last month.
Wu Yong looked surprised. You must know that the young master has worn the lost jade pendant for many years. Regardless of its value, the key point is that the young master likes old things. He has not worn the jade pendant since he lost it. For other jade pendants, Wu Yong spent a lot of effort to find a similar one, but he only wore it once and threw it aside.
Unexpectedly, that piece of unicorn jade fell into Miss Liu's hands?
The key is that he remembered that he lost this jade pendant early, not long after they returned home. Unexpectedly, the young master there had hooked up with Miss Liu...ahem...and got involved.
Just when Wu Yong was stunned, a cold and sharp gaze shot directly at Wu Yong's face. As soon as Wu Yong raised his eyes, he met Shen Lang's cold gaze. Wu Yong, who was in a state of excitement after eating, suddenly became excited, reacted, and immediately stammered: "Subordinate... I will resign now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong immediately strode towards the stone door opposite. The moment the stone door opened, he couldn't help but secretly glance behind him. At this glance, he saw Shen Lang's cold phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
Wu Yong immediately felt a coldness on his neck. He shrunk his neck, immediately applied oil to the soles of his feet, and disappeared like a gust of wind.
As soon as Wu Yong, the troublemaker, left, Shen Lang finally raised his eyes and looked at the figure behind the desk.
Shen Lang glanced at Liu Yingying lightly.
On this day, Liu Yingying had not put on makeup, and her clothes were simple and elegant. They were clearly ordinary clothes worn in the boudoir, and there was no trace of deliberate dressing up.
Shen Lang glanced at her unpainted face. Finally, his eyes moved and fell on the unicorn jade. From the corner of his eye, he could clearly see those green-white jade hands that were constantly tapping on the desk. He looked up for a moment, then calmly withdrew his gaze, and finally spoke respectfully, but he glanced at the other side casually and said, "Deal?"
When saying this, Shen Lang clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the wall opposite Liu Yingying.
There is a stone candlestick embedded in the wall, with a lion's head and face, and the fierce lion's mouth is spitting out firelight at this moment. The light is weak, and it was lit by Liu Yingying not long ago.
At this moment, Shen Lang slowly raised his hand, took a pair of scissors from the lion's head, and casually picked out the wick of the candle.
Following Shen Lang's movements, the dark secret room instantly became a lot brighter.
"Exactly."
Liu Yingying nodded abruptly.
When she was about to continue speaking, she saw Shen Lang standing with his back to her and his hands behind his back. He was extremely tall. Even if he stood far away, he still felt oppressive. She felt like she had to raise her face when she spoke. I just feel like my momentum is a little weaker.
The next moment, Liu Yingying slowly stood up and faced Shen Lang across the desk, saying: "Young Master Shen Liu and I have a mutual affection. I believe the eldest master has heard about it recently. Young Master Shen... Liulang wants to marry me, and I also fall in love with Liulang. It’s just that I am a lowly person, and the elders of the fourth room are not optimistic about me. If possible, I hope Mr. Shen can help me—"
Liu Yingying told the truth about the purpose of her trip.
However, Shen Lang's hand that raised the scissors paused slightly when he heard her mention the word "Liu Lang". After a moment, the cold face turned around and glanced straight at Liu Yingying opposite, once slightly Narrowed his eyes.
After a while, a hint of sarcasm seemed to appear on his face, but it quickly dissipated.
He just stared at Liu Yingying for a moment, and after a while, Fang said coldly: "I remember warning you, stay away from Xiao Liu."
When he said this, Shen Lang's tone seemed to turn a little colder.
The eyes looking at Liu Yingying seemed to be a little sharper.
However, Liu Yingying met Shen Lang's cold gaze without fear, and raised her brows slightly: "I also remember that I asked the eldest son that day, if I am not suitable for Liu Lang, then which one is suitable? What a pity. Mr. Sun has never pointed out a clear path for me."
When she said this, Liu Yingying looked at Shen Lang with a smile but not a smile. As she spoke, she grabbed the unicorn jade and held it in her hand. She rubbed it slowly and said with a gentle smile: "I, Liu Yingying, am already a member of the Shen family." How can you go and cause harm to other families when you are already a ? Are you right, eldest son?”
She stared at Shen Lang across from her and said with a smile, "The eldest son doesn't want me to harm Liu Lang. Could it be that he wants me to harm you?"
Liu Yingying looked at Shen Lang with a smile. When she said this, her scorching peach blossom eyes were looking forward to, which was particularly attractive.
However, just as her water was gleaming and charming, the next moment, the enchantment in her peach eyes disappeared in an instant, dissipated completely, her eyes had long been replaced by sobriety, they were cold, and her voice was also cold. Then he quickly turned cold and said: "Since you, Mr. Shen, don't want to take over this offer, you must choose someone to take over for me. Isn't this request too much?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yingying's tone was slightly sarcastic.
However, after just a moment, Liu Yingying suddenly smiled again. She used the coldness and amorous feelings with great skill. She smiled softly and her eyes were scorching, as if the indifference just now was just an illusion.
Shen Lang quietly enjoyed Liu Yingying's face-changing show, with his eyes narrowed, as if he had no intention of answering her words.
Seeing Shen Lang staring at her without speaking, Liu Yingying was not surprised. After a moment, the conversation changed, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up, and she suddenly said: "By the way, I vaguely remember that there is a place in the heart of the eldest young master. It’s an old wound.”
As soon as the words came out, it was clearly an unrelated topic.
