Chapter 542 Unable to empathize

He doesn't want to compete for a place in the court. He hates disputes and the unpredictability of people's hearts.

In this Shen family, as long as there is one elder brother, it is enough to honor the ancestors.

Seeing his lonely look, Shen Nanxiao reached out and patted his shoulder gently, "What are your plans next?"

Raising his head, Shen Jinzhao took a deep breath.

"I plan to go to the Jianghu. My brother knows that. Since I was a child, I have yearned for the freedom and ease of the Jianghu knights who travel to the ends of the world with their swords. But in the future, I hope that my brother will take more care of Lulu. She has a very hard life."

"Go say goodbye to her before you leave."

At least, don't leave any regrets to yourself.

"Okay." Shen Jinzhao smiled with crooked eyebrows. He was still the warm and sunny second son of the Shen family before, but the original wantonness in his eyes was gone.

…

The misty rain pours on the low-hanging willow branches, and the swaying waves create moving ripples in the lake.

The clouds and smoke imbue the beauty of the willows in Qinghu Lake, and the morning glow prompts the beautiful shadows of the peach blossoms in Sudi. Passers-by walk on the stone slabs, shaking off the smoke and dust.

In Qinghu Xiaozhu, Yin Luzhu raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Shen Jinzhao, who was sitting opposite. The wine exuded a light aroma that lingered between the nostrils and lingered.

Shen Jinzhao picked up the wine in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, with a bitter smile on his face.

"Lulu, do you still remember the first time you drank?"

Yin Luzhu looked at him calmly and looked at the expectant light in his eyes. She nodded without any change in her expression.

"I remember."

Shen Jinzhao slightly looked away from her and said to himself: "That year, you secretly came to Shen's house to play. It happened to be my father's birthday, and my mother brought out old spirits for him. "

"The wine was green. You were curious, so you drank a big bowl. You were so drunk that you staggered around and fell into the doghouse, causing the big yellow to curse."

As he said that, Shen Jinzhao suddenly laughed, as if he missed those days very much.

"Do you remember that time Lulu?"

Yin Luzhu looked at him with a calm expression, still with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"That year, when you had just grown your hair, you begged me to take you to the temple. You said that you wanted to find a marriage for yourself, but the lots were drawn. The lots were drawn back and forth, and you were so angry that you cried. , and said that she would definitely not be able to get married in the future. At that time, I also said, if no one marries you, then I will marry you."

"Hehehe." Shen Jinzhong laughed heartily: "This way, you won't cry anymore."

Yin Luzhu's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She is not Yin Luzhu, just Fu Wansheng. She has never been involved in the past and Shen Jinzhao's past, and she cannot empathize with it.

From the time she was born, her father had been favored by the late emperor and was in the limelight. She was the legitimate daughter of a high family that was envied by everyone.

However, she is not happy.

She had seen her mother shed tears all day long because of her father's taking a concubine since she was a child, and watched her father, who was originally deeply affectionate for her mother, protect the concubine in every possible way.

The mother also changed from the initial forbearance to hysteria like a demon.

There are always a lot of dissatisfaction in this deep house and compound. A copper lock can easily bury a woman's life.

A man's oath is always very empty. If you believe it in a moment of enthusiasm, you will be hurt.

Therefore, in this life, she only wants power and does not want to be the canary in someone's cage.
