Chapter 332
The drawing on the booklet that Shen Gu and Qu Rou gave them was naturally a fire-avoidance diagram, but it was different from ordinary fire-avoidance diagrams. It seemed to be teaching people how to practice dual cultivation.
Shen Wuyong was quite interested in this and even asked Shen Jiao to learn it clearly. It was indeed more interesting than formal meditation.
It was his determination to practice at all times that made Shen Jiao speechless.
And when she thought about the origin of this booklet, and thought that no matter how much she practiced now, it would be taken away by someone else, she always felt... aggrieved, and from time to time she thought of Shen Gu and Qu Rou...
After a long time, even the most interesting things will become boring.
"They really destroyed a lot of stuff."
Shen Jiao muttered to herself, lying numbly on the bed, not even happy with the dual cultivation.
Shen Wuyong pretended to be deaf and dumb to her complaints, pretending not to hear them at all. He put on some clothes hastily, sat aside, grabbed her feet and rubbed them, saying, "Sister, do you want to go out and play?"
"What bad idea have you come up with?"
"Sister, you used to work for the Seventeenth Young Master of Tongcai Villa, right? Someone from that place will be coming to Dad's birthday party soon. I heard it's him. If Sister is there, it will be awkward, right?"
Shen Wuyong's words made Shen Jiao realize that she had been here for more than a year, almost two years, and they had been wasted in vain.
She said lazily: "Why should I be embarrassed? He didn't come here for me."
She used to be a slave to Xue Shun, but that’s not a big deal, right?
Haven't they been running dogs for the traitors? They are not embarrassed, so why should Shen Jiao be embarrassed?
Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Shen Wuyong didn't mention it anymore: "I'm glad that my sister doesn't care."
Shen Jiao never cared about it, but she was a little wary and said, "You don't want me to serve him tea or water, do you?"
"What are you talking about, sister? As the eldest daughter of this family, there is no reason for you to do such a thing in front of outsiders."
Shen Wuyong used to order Shen Jiao around, but Shen Gou and Qu Rou didn't treat her as their daughter, but in front of outsiders, they had to pretend to be nice, not for Shen Jiao, but for their own face.
So, it was the first time that Shen Jiao sat on an equal footing with Xue Shun at a banquet.
Feeling... average.
Moreover, Xue Shun did not restrain himself and kept staring at her, which made Shen Gu ask questions.
Xue Shun said, "I am the younger generation's fault. It's just that your daughter really looks like an old friend, so I looked at her a few times more. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Miss Shen."
"Sir, you're joking," Shen Jiao said, not intending to conceal his background. "We're old acquaintances, so how could I have offended you? It's my fault for finding my parents and forgetting to tell... my old master. How are you?"
Xue Shun: "Okay, very good."
His tone was quite calm, but Shen Jiao could hear a hint of anger and had no idea what he was angry about.
It wasn't until later that I saw him in the garden pavilion and went up to greet him. Only then did I hear him ask, "Am I just your old master?"
Shen Jiao: What else?
She didn't answer.
Xue Shun didn't dwell on it. He turned around and asked her, "Are you doing okay? I heard Xue Shiyi mention you. He said you and two guards disappeared inexplicably while out collecting herbs. I'm afraid you're in trouble..."
Xue Shun wanted to come find her, but it was too chaotic at that time.
later……
He received a portrait sent back by his subordinates, saying that Shen Shiyu, the daughter of Shen Gu, the lord of Yongcheng, looked similar to Shen Jiao.
He had some bad suspicions and was afraid that she was a spy, so he found it difficult to face her for the time being and did not come until today.
Xue Shun didn't explain this to her, and Shen Jiao didn't ask. She hadn't expected anyone to come and save her, and since she was poisoned, she couldn't say much. She just said vaguely, "It's okay. I have to get through life anyway."
"I've never heard you mention your parents before. Are they good to you?"
"There's nothing to mention," Shen Jiao said. "What's good or bad about parents? Whatever happens to you is what happens to you, except for people like Shen Wuyong who can't get over it."
That's not good.
Xue Shun: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, I want to leave here, could you help me?"
"Yes," Xue Shun said, "Would you like me to marry you?"
He had said this a long time ago, he would marry her.
Shen Jiao: "Are you serious, sir?"
“Always.”
"But I was joking," Shen Jiao said. "You shouldn't marry me, and I won't marry you."
Sooner or later, Shen Gou and his men will raise their butcher knives towards Tongcai Villa. If Shen Jiao cannot be his wife, she may become a butcher knife stabbed into his heart.
She turned to leave, but Xue Shun grabbed her arm and said, "Wait..."
Shen Jiao was having a hard time waiting. She felt a pain in her arm like a thousand ants gnawing at her heart. She looked in one direction, as if she had sensed something. That bastard Shen Wuyong was standing on a bamboo raft, holding a pole. He came out of the lotus pond to greet them and called out in his hoarse voice:
"Sister and Mr. Seventeen are in a good mood. Would you like to come and see the flowers?"
He doesn't see shit!
Shen Jiao clearly saw him going in another direction, so when did he follow her stealthily?
Because he was there, Xue Shun had to let go.
Shen Wuyong acted as if he didn't see anything and enthusiastically invited them to go down and play as well.
Shen Jiao looked at the bamboo raft under his feet. It was too crowded for two people to stand on it, and they might get their shoes and socks wet. He didn't want to go there at all. He said, "What's fun down there? There's not enough space for three people to stand on it."
"Why can't I stand apart? I'm standing quite steadily." Shen Wuyong loosened his foot, and the narrow bamboo raft split in two. He tilted his head and said, "Seventeenth Master can row that one. As for my sister, you're the best at straddling two boats. If you feel too crowded, you can stand with your feet apart."
Shen Jiao: What on earth is he here for?
Xue Shun looked at Shen Jiao with complicated eyes.
A familiar head emerged from the water, and cried out in grievance, "Sister... now I am not your only brother anymore, am I?"
Shen Jiao: "Azhu? Why are you here too?"
Xue Shun: "He insisted on coming, so I brought him here."
Shen Jiao: "Then what is he doing underwater?"
Ah Zhu: "I'm afraid my sister doesn't want to see me."
Shen Wuyong: "Oh, there are still too few bamboo rafts. I wonder how many good brothers my sister has."
He poked the bamboo raft beside him with a pole, and it turned into several bamboos. Shen Wuyong nodded with satisfaction: "This is enough. I just don't know how my sister is going to stand."
Shen Jiao: ...
Just tell me, why did you let Wang Gu bite me? Is Shen Wuyong sick?!
Shen Jiao looked at Xue Shun, then at the two below, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong with the scene.
She wanted to ease the atmosphere and think it over carefully.
Then, a sentence that had been silent in her heart for many years suddenly came out of her mouth: "Hey, Xue Shun, have you noticed that they both look a bit like you!"
Shen Jiao felt that this was a bad fate, and she was born to be entangled with such a man.
Ah Zhu is as crybaby as Xue Shun and often has stomachaches.
Shen Wuyong was as sickly as Xue Shun, and both of them were very thin.
No one would believe it if you said it didn't look like it.
Shen Jiao nodded and said, "Really? The more I look at you, the more you look alike. Could you three be half-brothers?"
