Chapter 771 Why are you telling me this?

It was very quiet inside the house.

Lingxiu knew that this was not the house where singing and dancing musicians usually lived together. It seemed to be the house where Shen Liuzhen had hired from the palace to teach the maids.

Although it is in the same yard as them, this house is well decorated. It is not like the one where they live together, where more than ten people live in a room. There are almost nothing except a row of beds, a few dressing tables, mirrors and wardrobes. Something else.

When Lingxiu first came to Shen's house, she secretly peeked in from the window to see this room. She saw that it was carefully decorated and looked more like a noble girl's boudoir. She was envious of it for a long time.

She once hoped that she could move in with her relationship with Xie Yuan...

However, the housekeeper of the Shen family seemed to have gained Shen Liuzhen's trust and was very cold to her, insisting that she live with other singers and dancers.

Later, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen came back from the south, and she wanted to live in Xie Yuan's house with the help of her maidservant.

However, Xie Yuan is a military commander and is different from others, so she doesn't need him.

At first, she thought this was Xie Yuan's excuse, and she resented her for a while. Later she realized that it was true. She didn't dislike her, but she really didn't need her.

Moreover, because of Xie Yuan's arrival, all the servants who used to take care of Shen Liuzhen in the main courtyard were kicked out, leaving only the two of them in the courtyard...

Lingxiu's closed eyes moved, and the pain made her thoughts empty. She thought mockingly: She has always wanted to move in, but she never succeeded. Now that she has been beaten, her wish has been granted.

The porcelain spoon stirred in the soup bowl, making a "ding-ding-ding" sound when it hit the bowl. Shen Liuzhen's voice came leisurely from above his head and said:

"I know you're awake, why pretend to be asleep?"

When Lingxiu heard this, her eyes rolled a bit, but she still opened her eyes.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Shen Liuzhen sitting on the round stool beside the bed, holding a medicine bowl and a spoon in an elegant manner. The wide sleeves and hem of his robe all showed his nobility.

He held the spoon and stirred it randomly in the medicine bowl as if for fun. He looked at the ripples in the bowl, which seemed very interesting.

"Do you want to poison me?" Lingxiu finally asked, her voice hoarse and unclear from the previous painful shouts.

Shen Liuzhen raised his sparkling eyes halfway, as if laughing at her stupidity, sneered and said:

"...What's the benefit of me poisoning you?"

Lingxiu was lying on her stomach. Seeing Shen Liuzhen like this, her pupils shrank and she said with difficulty:

"Because General Xie is willing to take care of me, you have always hated me, I know."

Shen Liuzhen still stirred the soup with a spoon, tilted his head slightly, said "hmm" from his throat, and then said:

"But I'm different from you. I hate too many people. I don't necessarily have to do anything to the people I hate, unless they block my way or threaten me."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lingxiu again and asked, "Do you think...you have reached this point?"

Lingxiu was stunned, looking at Shen Liuzhen's eyes shaking violently. At that moment, many thoughts went through her mind.

Shen Liuzhen casually placed the bowl on the round table next to him, straightened his robe sleeves, and said with a smile:

"Well... only now do I start thinking about what things you can do to threaten me?"

Lingxiu was frightened again. Lying there, she had limited sight in one eye and could not hide her fear.

Shen Liuzhen put his hands on his knees and sat upright. Coupled with his delicate face, he really looked like a gentleman, but his words were plain and creepy. smell:

"I originally thought that if you told her about my design of Bu Liugu Zhuyun, then you would have betrayed me and A Yuan. How will I deal with you then? A Yuan will not stop me anymore, and I won't have to worry about it. You are always in front of us and an eyesore to me. But you didn’t say anything, so this is a bit difficult..."

Lingxiu couldn't help but tremble, and the pain of being hit was overshadowed by the chill in her heart.

Shen Liuzhen frowned slightly and looked at the void, seeming to be really distressed. Then he focused his eyes on Lingxiu and said gently and kindly:

"I once promised you that if you handle that matter well, I will let you deregister and be able to open a business and have a place. This is true, but you are a person who has the ability to recognize people and adapt to changes. I also have some abilities, and I also have a talent that is enough to stand on. But the only thing I do is that I don’t have any sense of self-awareness in doing things.”

When Lingxiu heard the words "self-knowledge", she suddenly understood what Shen Liuzhen was talking about. She argued excitedly with a hoarse voice and a twisted expression:

"What kind of self-knowledge?! Just because I am a dancer, can't I treat myself as a human being?! I am obviously a human being, just like you noble people, but I have a different origin!"

Shen Liuzhen raised his eyebrows, accepted her words calmly, and said:

"You also know that it's because of different origins?... When people live in this world, their origins and talents are not determined by who they choose. It's all determined by fate. I can understand your dissatisfaction. But if you don't have the ability to change your destiny against heaven, then So it's best to hold it in, endure it, and live the life you have... Am I wrong in what I said?"

Lingxiu was rendered speechless by the refutation. Looking at Shen Liuzhen's clear eyes, she suddenly felt that he was an extremely considerate person.

Lingxiu trembled in her heart, forcing herself not to accept Shen Liuzhen's "kindness", and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Why are you telling me this?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Liuzhen picked up the bowl of soup again, took the spoon and started stirring it again. While stirring, he said casually:

"You are now A Yuan's name. If you really know how good she is, don't cause trouble for her. Like today, when A Yuan is implicated and criticized because of you, I never want to see it a second time.

When the time comes, no matter how much patience A Yuan still has for you, I will get rid of you... I think, you have been in my house for a long time, whether I can do what I say, you must be thinking There are enough."

After he finished speaking, he finally stopped stirring, reached out and handed the medicine bowl to Lingxiu, and said:

"The medicine has cooled down. Drink it. Recently, you can stay here to recuperate with peace of mind. Someone has been arranged to take care of you."

As if being bewitched, Lingxiu subconsciously raised her arm and took the medicine bowl.

Shen Liuzhen said no more, stood up from the round stool, turned around and left the room.

Lingxiu looked at the bowl of black soup, and two tears of reluctance fell into the bowl. Then her lips trembled in grievance, and she put the bowl to her mouth and drank.
