Chapter 269
If you want to know, go ask that soft-hearted young man why he bought a demon who sold herself to bury her father.
Or a demon who sells himself to bury his father.
But to be honest, if Shen Jiao encountered such a thing, he would not be able to help but stop and ask a few more questions.
The young man probably bought it on a whim.
Shen Jiao doesn't like Ah Zhu, but he has to admit that he is actually quite interesting.
As long as it has nothing to do with me, it's fun to just watch it. But if it does...
Shen Jiao tried her best to distance herself from him, but Ah Zhu kept yelling, "Sister, how can you be so heartless? You'll be heartbroken if I die. Don't do something you'll regret out of anger. At least plead for me. You'll never blame yourself in the future if you try your best! Sister! Face your feelings. You do love me!"
Shen Jiao loves him so much that his head explodes. It's already this late and he still has the mind to talk about all this. Didn't he notice that the more he talked, the stronger Xue Shun's murderous intent became.
I can feel the surging spiritual power all over my body.
But Xue Shun did not take action. Instead, he chuckled and said, "He said so, why don't you plead for him?"
Shen Jiao glanced at Ah Zhu, not wanting to appear too cold, so he bravely said, "Sir, he was bought by another young master. Even if you really want to kill him, you should have passed on the message and explained the matter clearly, otherwise it might cause misunderstandings."
"That's all you're saying? Nothing else?"
Xue Shun's tone sounded mixed.
Seeing that he seemed unsatisfied, Shen Jiao continued, "If you release him and let his master deal with him, that would be a good option. You wouldn't have to dirty your hands, and you might even get a share of the soup.
If you can't bear it, you might as well just expel him from Qishui County. Out of sight, out of mind."
Shen Jiao said all this from Xue Shun's current perspective, and all of it was good stuff. The Xue Shun of the past would definitely have been able to feel her concern.
But now Xue Shun would only say coldly: "You care about him."
"I don't have any!"
Shen Jiao tried to defend herself.
Ah Zhu was moved and said:
"Sister, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. With these words from you to excuse me, Ah Zhu's life is enough. I will die without regrets. Sister, when I die, please leave my shell behind as a reminder. When you miss me, go inside and lie down. Just pretend I'm still by your side, holding you. Don't be too sad, or I'll die of heartache!"
It doesn’t matter whether his heart aches or not, Shen Jiao is having a heart attack at the moment.
These were not Ah Zhu's last words, but a death warrant to send her off. Every word of "sister" and every sentence she said showed that they had a very close relationship.
Even if Xue Shun no longer liked her, it was normal for him to be angry after hearing this.
Maybe it’s because of the obsession with possession.
Shen Jiao saw Xue Shun didn't say anything for a long time, and finally grabbed Ah Zhu and threw her directly into the yard, spitting out one word in a cold voice: "Get out!"
Ah Zhu was still unwilling to give in and kept shouting, "Don't even think about it! I want to be with my sister, don't even think about separating me from her, ugh!"
He seemed to be gagged.
Xue Shun smiled and said, "You don't want to be separated from him?"
Shen Jiao: "Sir, please understand. We are really not familiar with each other."
"Well, not really. We've cheated on each other, been married together, and spent a lot of time together. Even the people you met outside are all asking how you are doing."
Xue Shun emphasized the word "you" very much, and it sounded sour no matter how you listened to it.
He pulled the hem of his clothes back again.
"I won't kill him, don't worry. Seeing lovers separated and suffering from the pain of longing is more to my liking."
Shen Jiao felt that Xue Shun was now a little bit like he wanted to share the suffering he had suffered with her.
But in fact, Shen Jiao didn't care at all.
She found that Xue Shun's steps seemed a little weak, his breathing seemed not smooth, and there was some dust on his body.
What on earth had he been doing just now?
Shen Jiao picked up the slightly moist dust on his fingers and was sure that he was hiding something.
And Qiongzhi definitely knew about it, because after she drove Ah Zhu away, she kept hesitating to speak, and the look she gave Shen Jiao became even more displeased.
Shen Jiao felt that if she continued like this, it would do her no good but a hundred harms, so she simply said, "Since Ah Zhu has left, she probably won't be back for a while. If you have something urgent to do, you should go ahead and do it. I can't run away like this."
"Put your little thoughts aside. I don't have much to do, and I have plenty of time to watch you."
Xue Shun must be being petty again.
Qiongzhi endured it again and again but still spoke: "Young Master..."
As soon as she said two words, Xue Shun looked over. When Qiongzhi saw his eyes, she shut up immediately.
What kind of riddle is this?
Shen Jiao couldn't guess, but she would make a wild guess: "Young Master left in a hurry this morning... Just now, Ah Zhu mentioned that Young Master has another place to live. I guess he has things to do there. It would be a shame if he didn't go, right?"
"What do you mean?" Xue Shun sat cross-legged on the couch and took a sip of tea.
Shen Jiao was still kneeling in the middle of the room.
He hesitated to speak, "At a young man's age...it's only natural for him to have some wives and concubines..."
"I didn't." Xue Shun said.
Shen Jiao raised his head, with a look of disbelief written on his face, and secretly glanced at Qiongzhi.
Xue Shun can handle things here. Even if he wants to go out, he won't go with Qiongzhi. The two of them will disappear together...
There must be some necessary reason.
However, Qiongzhi and Xue Shun don't seem to have that kind of relationship at all.
Xue Shun... doesn't look like he has a wife or concubine.
Shen Jiao was just talking nonsense. He knew Xue Shun didn't like to hear it, so he just said it. Maybe he blurted out something when he was angry.
Who knew they wouldn't be fooled at all.
Shen Jiao was so mean that he pissed off both of them.
Xue Shun was so angry that she threw the cup and left. Qiongzhi looked at her angrily, as if she wanted to burn Shen Jiao to death.
Shen Jiao spread his hands: "I didn't say anything, I was just thinking about you."
"You're doing this for yourself," Qiongzhi was no longer the same Qiongzhi she used to be. She didn't buy into her tricks at all and glared at her, "What gives you the right to speculate about the young master like that?"
"Is this speculation... bad?"
Xue Shun does have some intention of remaining a chaste woman, but at his age, it shouldn't be wrong to guess that he has a wife or concubine, right?
It's a bit awkward to guess about him and Qiongzhi, but it's not that outrageous, right?
Qiongzhi could call her a dirty-minded person, but on what basis did she...
Shen Jiao thought for a moment: "With me... able to speak and think?"
Qiongzhi's eyes were almost popping out, and she was panting like an angry frog. Shen Jiao didn't dare to provoke her.
He quietly stepped away, watching her pick up the broken pieces of the porcelain cup and leave, and asked, "Is there any breakfast tonight? How about I make it?"
She can do it, but someone has to let her go.
Not long after, Shen Jiao heard the clanging sound of things being thrown around. After waiting for a long time, Qiongzhi finally threw three dishes and a soup in front of her.
Then he said, "You stay here and don't even think about going anywhere until the young master comes back."
Qiongzhi locked all the doors and windows.
Shen Jiao: ...We are not even allowed to see the sun?
