On the outskirts of Beijing, a tomb was erected on the edge of a dense forest.
Zhou Xueying was buried here.
The moonlight was hidden deep in the dense forest, and the sky was turning light blue. It was about to dawn.
Who would have thought that not long ago she was enjoying the most dazzling glory and wealth in the world with great vigor and power, but in the blink of an eye she was reduced to a pile of dirt.
Shen Que met Zhou Xueying three years ago, and she had just learned her identity at that time. She remembered that she always snuggled next to Zhang Chengru at that time, delicate and timid, gentle and gentle.
At that time, she was still feeling pity for being let down sincerely. Every time she saw them together, she felt like her heart was twisting in a knife. She tried her best to restrain herself on her face, but she still couldn't hide the contrast in her heart.
The little lady, who was born into an official family, exuded a sense of superiority from head to toe. They had a common childhood, too many pasts, endless things to talk about, and deep affection for each other...
Shen was indeed inferior to him at that time.
But then, she quickly figured it out. She is not a stalker. There are too many things at hand for her to be sad. She always remains calm and rational. She doesn't want anything that doesn't belong to her.
Never obsessed or obsessed, the girl's first love stopped there. Maybe this was what made her unlovable, she once thought.
Until she met Li Luansong, he made her feel that she was also a pearl, and she also had the dazzling brilliance of being held in the palm of her hand and regarded as a treasure.
Shen Que once envied Zhou Xueying and envied her for getting the affection of the person she loved. However, in the past year or so, she has been able to see her true face clearly. Is this her own fault? In short, it is what she asked for.
Therefore, there should be no obsession in life. As the saying goes, be calm with gains and indifferent with losses, strive for the inevitable and let nature take its course.
If Zhou Xueying had never thought about clinging to a powerful person, how could she have played a good hand of cards to such a pulp and ruined her own life?
Shen Que raised his head to look at the moon, wiped the tears from his face, felt sorry for her and angry at her stupidity.
"I was wrong."
Zhang Chengru knelt in front of the monument, no longer in grief, but still decadent and depressed, "Shen Que, I'm sorry."
This was the first time he said these three words to Shen Que, his voice was low and slightly hoarse.
Li Luansong glanced at him, turned his eyes and looked into the distance and said casually: "Let the past be bygones, it's time for us to go back."
Shen Que stood beside him and saw the self-blame and regret in Zhang Chengru's eyes over his figure.
"Shen Que, I regret it..."
But, so what.
Li Luansong ignored him and had no intention of listening to what he said. He took Shen Que's hand and walked back. After walking a few steps, he paused and said to the person behind him without looking back:
"Zhang Chengru, when my father comes back, let's make peace."
She didn't mean to wait for his answer, it was more like telling him that they walked out of the dense forest. Shen could clearly feel the scorching eyes behind him always following them, but he felt a sense of relief.
*
Early summer was a busy time, and the farce between the imperial concubine and her son was soon no longer mentioned.
Li Luansong sent people to track down Lu Sheng and finally got the news. He deliberately brought the witness into Prince Jin's Mansion.
That person was Lu Sheng's partner. Shen confirmed that it was this person who was talking to her about the treasures that she had personally selected in that inconspicuous little shop.
Wuyue threw the person to the ground. He was already trembling with fear. As if pouring beans, he told everything about Lu Sheng, which made Shen Que shake his head repeatedly.
"He was the one who found the villain first. He has a gambling addiction for more than three years. He couldn't raise any money, so he came up with other methods."
"Most of the money for that shop was made by him, and the villain only took care of it. He personally handed over the goods to the villain. Although the villain was stupid, he knew that those things were valuable. He specially found a master to copy them. He kept the genuine ones and kept the fake ones. Then take it back to the store."
"Most of the money from the sale of these things belongs to him, and the villain only takes a small part. He also increases the prices of the things in the original owner's shop, and introduces customers to our shop to buy, and most of the customers are introduced by him. .”
"As for the misappropriation of money, the villain doesn't know. I really don't know. A noble person shows his noble hand, but a villain has only one life. He knows everything he knows and never dares to deceive it."
"He also has a prostitute whom he has a crush on. Do you want to talk about this too?"
"They bought a lot of houses and land before, and they are selling them off recently, as if... they want to leave."
…
The man also took out many land deeds, house deeds, and deeds of cooperation between the two, which were all left by Lu Zheng with him. With the thick evidence in front of him, Shen Zhen felt powerless.
All money matters are not big things, but Shen Silan, Shen Chue thinks of his sister, that silly girl is probably going to fall into the trap.
After following her for two days, Shen Que and Li Luansong finally blocked the unhappy Shen Silan at the door of the shop again.
She came to the shop almost every day to look for Lu Sheng, but for three days in a row, she didn't find anyone.
In the name of entertaining friends, Li Luansong took Shen Silan into the private room of Zuixian Tower.
He is not a patient person and just wants this girl to wake up quickly.
"Sister, are you treating me to a treat? I have something else to do and I don't have time to eat with you." Shen Silan looked distracted.
"What can you do? Wait for Lu Sheng. Can't you see that he is avoiding you? Are you stupid?"
Shen Silan was stunned, and Shen Que was also stunned.
She would never talk to A-mei like this.
"Sister, is your waist thick now? I heard that I'm hooking up with His Highness Prince Jin. Why, can't you even speak properly?"
Xiao Nizi is willful and proud.
"Who are you talking to? I am your sister. Have you spoken properly? You are stupid and spreading evil fire."
Li Luansong was not polite and ignored Shen Que who secretly tugged on his clothes, "What are you doing with Lu Sheng?"
"It has nothing to do with Sister." Shen Silan held her chin and ignored him, "Sister, I'll leave first if she's fine."
She stood up to leave, but Li Luansong scolded her: "Sit down."
He looked a bit fierce, which really scared her.
"You're stupid, but you really show it. Do you think I don't know why you are looking for Lu Sheng? You are so hot-headed that you want to hit her up. Does he really like you? Are you sure? Do you know him? He does everything Do you know what it is?"
"Sister, are you questioning me? Lu Sheng and I are in love, so of course we know each other's feelings. What do you know?"
The young lady is full of enthusiasm and doesn't care about her love.
Li Luansong couldn't stand listening anymore and asked her: "Do you know about him opening a shop and gambling outside?"
Who would have thought that Shen Silan said he knew, "He told me everything. Gambling is a thing of the past. At that time, he was under great pressure and had nowhere to relieve himself. Now he has changed it long ago. As for the shop, he also I said that it was opened by his friend, and he was just passing on some experience."
Once this person falls in love, there is no way he can be saved.
The young lady said confidently: "I know him, he is really good, but I just don't understand that you two are opposed to each other, my mother is against it, and now my sister has to intervene, how can you feel at ease?"
Li Luan Songxin said, if this were my sister, I would slap her awake.
"You're asking me why I'm so worried. I really want to open your brain and see what's inside." Li Luansong was so angry that he gasped, "Let me ask you, did he ask for money from you?"
Shen Silang curled her lips and said: "Speaking of this, I have the nerve to mention it. If I hadn't been so strict in managing the shop, what would he have done when he was in urgent need of money? I am the person closest to him. He If you don’t want it from me, who will you ask for it from?”
Li Luansong was speechless and covered his face: ...I really want to beat her up.
"How much did you give him?" he asked.
"All of it." Shen Silan looked very proud, "My father gave me a share of the money, and I get bonuses every month. I haven't needed the money in these years, so I gave it all to him."
Shen Que: ...the center of my earth.
Li Luansong: ...so stupid that I am speechless.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Que stopped trying to dissuade Li Luansong. He ate in silence and watched him educate this innocent and stupid sister for her.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so Li Luansong decided to let Shen Silan see the true face of that person with his own eyes.
Of course, Shen Silan did see it.
Next door, Lu Sheng was intimate with the beauty. During the conversation, he revealed his deception to her and his dream of running away with the prostitute. Shen Silan was stunned, ranging from shocked, sad, angry to... He went to kill someone with a knife, but fortunately, he was grabbed by Li Luansong.
After taking her back to the house, the young lady finally calmed down, but she also got herself drunk and kept mumbling:
"Sister, am I a fool? The biggest fool in the world."
"Sister, wait... I have to chop him to death."
"He lied to me... He dared to lie to me, and it was in vain that I was so good to him. I gave him food and drink, and he was my priority in everything. I gave him money, and I gave him whatever he wanted... …”
The more she talked, the more frustrated she became. She went from being filled with indignation to crying bitterly, and finally fell into a deep sleep. Before she fell asleep, she said cruel words:
"Don't worry, sister, I understand now. Just wait, I will teach him a lesson with my own hands."
"I will never... bypass such a man..."
I just thought she was talking drunkenly, but fortunately I finally figured it out and calmed down with the help of alcohol.
It was already time to send Shen Que off, and Li Luansong was very proud of himself for helping her solve another problem. Look, she was still not good at this kind of thing, and she had to be quick to cut off her love brain...
In front of the steps of Lemon Fragrance Pavilion, there were two people who stayed up most of the night, feeding each other one after another. You took a bite, and I took a bite. The sweetness was so overwhelming.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the two of them.
"Little Wuyue, you are so kind. You have a good temper, a good character, and you care about others. You are much better than your highness." Zelan held Wuyue's face and smiled, looking silly.
May said: "Comparing me with him, you are looking down on me."
…
Li Luansong: ...I think you two don’t want to do it anymore.
He was so angry that he went back to sleep. Unexpectedly, he received an emergency report in the middle of the night. Many patients appeared at home at the same time. Many servants, wives and servants fell ill, with fever and diarrhea. Li Luansong quickly sent someone to go there without saying a word. I asked for a doctor, but was refused. The person who came said:
"No doctors in the city can be invited. It is said that an epidemic has broken out in the capital, and the doctors are overwhelmed."
The east was white, faintly covered with thick clouds, and it was a gloomy day.
