When Shen Jue's voice was not heard just now, Bai Yu'an felt peaceful, thinking that if Shen Jue found out, she would just confess her guilt calmly.
But when she heard Shen Jue's voice, she started to panic.
After all, I was a little unwilling. More than ten years have been like a dream.
She calmed down and spoke inside: "Maybe I can go in to see Shen Shoufu?"
There was silence inside.
After standing for a long time, Shen Jue inside didn't speak again, obviously he didn't want to see her.
Bai Yu'an bit her lip, her heart tightened, but she made up her mind and reached out to push open the door in front of her.
Pushing the door open, I saw Shen Jue sitting behind the table.
In the room, Shen Jue was wearing a dark black cross-collar robe, with satin light flowing on it. Her hair was meticulously styled. She was leaning back on a chair with her legs crossed, leaning slightly while reading the book in her hand. One hand was playing with the jade Buddha head.
His eyebrows were careless, and his eyes had never glanced at Bai Yu'an. He was lazy and elegant, unattainable.
Bai Yu'an's face turned pale, looking at Shen Jue's appearance, she couldn't guess what he was thinking.
She paused, lifted the hem of her robe, knelt on the ground, lowered her head towards Shen Jue and said, "I'm here to ask Shen Shoufu to forgive me."
Shen Jue seemed to have noticed Bai Yu'an coming in. He put the book in his hand on his knees and looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
The person on the ground was soaked, and the hem of his white clothes was in disarray, with dirt falling on it, looking pitiful.
And the neatly tied hair is now hanging down in twos and threes, falling on the cheek without knowing it. Her thin shoulders have already collapsed, and she is slightly hunched over, like a qiongzhi bent by the rain. .
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an's face again. Although he lowered his head and couldn't see clearly, he could clearly see the moist cheeks, trembling eyelashes, delicate and straight nose, and the still bright red mole. of.
Even if the clothes are wet and the messy and neat demeanor is no longer there, the elegance is still there. Just with that face and the elegant movements, Bai Yu'an looks pleasing to the eye no matter how down and out he is.
Even Bai Yu'an like this made Shen Jue feel comfortable.
It's not easy to call Bai Yu'an such a lowly person.
Shen Jue pointed her finger on the armrest, looked at Bai Yu'an with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "How did Master Bai come in?"
Bai Yu'an was stunned, not expecting that Shen Jue's first question would be this question.
She tightened her fingers and said, "He came in from Shen Shoufu's backyard."
Shen Jue snorted sarcastically: "I thought you were so noble, but aren't you also such a young person?"
Shen Jue was clearly seeking revenge for his personal vengeance.
Bai Yu'an lowered his head and whispered: "Shoufu Shen doesn't want to see the official. It's the official's helpless behavior. I forgive you."
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yuan with respect now.
He raised his eyebrows lightly again: "Master Bai, what do you want to do when you break into my place now?"
Bai Yu'an bowed a little more and said, "I'm here to ask Shen Shoufu to forgive me."
Shen Jue sneered: "What kind of crime is Master Bai asking for?"
Bai Yu'an said: "Shen Shoufu doesn't want to see Xiaguan. It must be that Xianguan has offended Shen Shoufu. Today, Xianguan comes to apologize."
Shen Jue snorted, Bai Yu'an was acting sloppy now.
Is she afraid of offending him?
If you really think about it, I have already offended him.
He said coldly: "Raise your head."
Bai Yuan paused, then raised his head to look at Shen Jue.
The two people's eyes met. Shen Jue saw panic in Bai Yu'an's eyes, while Bai Yu'an only saw unfathomable depth in Shen Jue's eyes.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an with cold eyes: "Since Mr. Bai has come to plead guilty, I am curious, how does Mr. Bai want to plead guilty?"
Seeing Shen Jue's unclear attitude, Bai Yu'an was a little unsure whether Shen Jue knew or not.
She said in a daze: "How does Shen Chief Fu want to apologize to his subordinates?"
Shen Jue sneered: "It seems that Mr. Bai is still insincere. If you are not sincere, why do you need to come to me?"
Bai Yu'an's face turned pale and he looked at Shen Jue: "I'm naturally sincere when I come here today."
"The official came here today to sacrifice his life. I just ask Shen Shoufu to spare his family."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an bent down and knocked on the ground: "I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I will let him be dealt with. It's just that my family is innocent. I beg Shen Shoufu to show mercy."
His back was lowered, he knelt on the ground, and he was begging for help in such a dignified manner.
She obviously knew there was another way.
She just didn't want to.
Too.
Even so, Bai Yu'an didn't want to get close to him, and she had no other thoughts in her heart.
It's Bai Yu'an's temperament.
The carpet under Bai Yu'an had already been wet, leaving dark traces. Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an on the ground for a while.
Look at her white and smooth back neck, her slightly elegant waist, the white belt around her waist, the Pisces jade buckle that fell on the carpet, and her long, smooth and soft hair.
At this moment, in Shen Jue's eyes, it was already a different scenery.
Lazily changing his posture, Shen Jue said calmly: "Why don't Master Bai raise your head and speak first?"
Bai Yu'an was startled, but he obeyed and raised his head again.
She met Shen Jue's cold eyes, and her heart fell to the bottom.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an and raised his eyebrows: "Master Bai, come here and talk."
Bai Yuan paused and looked at Shen Jue, wondering what Shen Jue meant.
When Shen Jue saw that Bai Yu'an was not moving, he put his legs on the ground and stood up. He walked in front of Bai Yu'an and looked down at the person kneeling on the ground.
He bowed slightly and held Bai Yu'an's chin with one hand, asking her to look up at him.
He carefully studied the face in front of him. Bai Yu'an, who was full of knowledge, also had a very good-looking face.
Not as bright as a hibiscus, but as bright as a jade tree.
The panic in his eyes at this moment is also very pleasing to the eye.
But he is also a liar who is good at deceiving people.
He repeatedly came to plead guilty, but never mentioned any guilt. Even now, he is still testing him and hiding things from him.
Shen Jue pursed her lips: "Since Mr. Bai has come to plead guilty, I want to see Mr. Bai's sincerity."
"Does Master Bai know?"
Bai Yu'an's eyes were moist, with water drops still falling on his cheeks. He looked at Shen Jue with a pale face: "How sincere is Shen Chief Fu in wanting to be demoted?"
"The life of the lower official is in the hands of Shen Shoufu, how much more sincerity does Shen Shoufu need?"
Shen Jue said calmly: "What will I do with Master Bai's life?"
"No matter how sincere you are, Mr. Bai should know what I want in his heart."
"If Mr. Bai doesn't want to do it today, just go back. I don't want to force anyone."
After saying that, Shen Jue relaxed his grip on his hand, turned around and walked behind the screen.
Bai Yu'an stared blankly at Shen Jue's turning back, until she saw the dark figure disappearing behind the screen, then she put one hand on the ground and collapsed.
She knew what Shen Jue meant.
Suddenly I felt that I was bringing shame on myself by coming here.
He wanted to take revenge on her, so how could he let her go so easily.
Bai Yu'an stood up unsteadily from the ground, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out the door.
But just after crossing the threshold, the foot was still stuck in the air.
Isn't the reason why I came here today just to plead for mercy? It's the person who is going to die anyway, so the rest doesn't seem to matter.
As long as I can keep my family safe.
Bai Yu'an stood at the door, his hands on the threshold, trembling slightly.
Shen Jue, who was behind the screen, was half-leaning on the couch behind him, his feet resting on a low stool, his thumbs brushing over the jade Buddha head in his hand, his eyes dark.
Incense was burning in the incense burner nearby, and the candlelight on the lamppost swayed, stretching Shen Jue's figure.
He wanted to see what step Bai Yu'an could take.
