In a slightly small room, Shen Anlin sat by the window, his figure covered by a wide blue crane cloak.
Gu Shiba Niang paused briefly at the door and stepped in. The door was closed behind her. Ah Si seemed to be about to follow but was stopped by someone.
Gu Shiba Niang didn't pay attention, she just focused her eyes on Shen Anlin seriously.
His description is slightly thin, his expression is slightly haggard, and his dense stubble gradually overlaps with the picture in his memory.
She was like a gloomy young master with lost consciousness. She didn't care about all the beings around her, including sarcasm, regret, ridicule, and concern. She even felt a trace of joy in her heart. The man sitting on the wooden chair could finally look at herself. Faces were exchanged in this scene, and finally stopped on a piece of falling paper.
Quit giving up… quit giving up….
The man who stood proudly had disdain on his face. He didn't want her...
"Please sit down." He said with a smile.
"Master Lin seems to be in a good mood." Gu Shiba Niang sat down as she was told, looked at Shen Anlin and smiled slightly, without being polite, she poured a glass of wine, raised her head and drank it all.
A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Anlin's face. This girl smiled at him for the first time in the few times they had met. Looking at her expression and movements today, she felt quite refreshed.
"It's okay." Shen Anlin smiled.
It's no wonder that the eagle with broken wings was in a good mood. Gu Shiba Niang sneered, poured herself a glass of wine again, then looked at Shen Anlin, pointed to the wine glass in his hand, "Master Lin, please...oh I forgot It’s inconvenient for Master Lin…”
She stood up, walked to him with a wine bottle, and slightly lowered her head to look down at Shen Anlin who was sitting there.
"I'll help Mr. Lin pour the wine," she said.
Shen Anlin leaned back in his chair and said with a playful smile: "Ms. Gu is really in a good mood."
"It's indeed good." Gu Shiba Niang replied with a smile, "My master once said that the greatest joy in life is actually having a fortune while watching others become desperate because of a penny."
She turned around, sat back, and poured herself another glass of wine.
"Ms. Gu became famous in one battle. Although she was guided by a famous teacher, it is impressive to be able to do so in such a short period of time." Shen Anlin didn't care about the meaning behind her words. He smiled lightly and changed the subject. said.
Gu Shiba Niang raised her eyes and glanced at him, with a hint of self-mockery on her lips, "It's nothing, this was all forced out of me..."
He forced her to embark on the road of death, and fate forced her to go back to the old path. In the past two years of rebirth, she endured the pain, endured the pain, stood upright, gritted her teeth, and walked step by step without stopping, let alone retreating.
It was already known to everyone that a pharmacist poisoned Gu Shiba Niang at the Grand Medicine Conference. Shen Anlin thought that was what she was talking about and looked at her with a softer expression. Gu Ba Niang was also looking up at him. , that look in his eyes made him feel like a needle pricked his heart.
Is it still resentment? As long as a woman can, who wants to show her face and compete in the men's industry? If her father had fulfilled his promise, the girl would have married into their family. Although the life in the inner house may not be easy, at least she would have no worries about food and clothing, and at least she would not She is all alone...
To her, she is a perfidious enemy. The happiest thing in the world is to see her enemy suffer a tragic end without retribution. It has nothing to do with morality or human nature, so let her laugh and ridicule happily.
Gu Shiba Niang has already poured herself a third glass of wine.
"You're not feeling well yet, don't drink so much." Shen Anlin reminded with a slight frown.
Gu Shiba Niang drank it all in one gulp and offered Shen Anlin a treat, "It's rare to be happy. Master Lin, please don't let it down."
Shen Anlin nodded and took a sip.
"Why did Master Lin invite me here? You probably want me to take a look at your injured leg, right?" Gu Shiba Niang said with a half-smile, her eyes turned to Shen Anlin, "Oh, I almost succeeded anyway. The family should also be concerned about it, I wonder how it is hurt? "
"Almost became a family?" Shen Anlin turned the wine glass, leaned back in the chair and said slowly, "Ms. Gu, do you think there is no hope of being a family?"
Gu Shiba Niang laughed.
"A family?" she asked, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her face, "Why does Master Lin think we should be a family?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Anlin reached out and took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve without any fuss.
"This." He shook his head and said calmly.
Mr. Shen San actually still keeps this? Gu Shiba Niang's heart skipped a beat.
"What?" She asked without moving her expression, getting up and walking over slowly.
She walked very slowly, her heartbeat was beating hard, and a few short steps seemed like a long time passed.
Finally reaching Shen Anlin, she reached out to take it, but it was empty.
"Ms. Gu, be careful, don't tear it. I'll show it to you." Shen Anlin said with a slight smile.
Gu Shiba Niang sneered, turned around and strode back to sit down.
"You think you can scare me with this?" she said.
Not to mention the incomplete marriage certificate, which was complete with three matchmaking and six certificates. Could it be that she, Gu Shiniang, was so frightened that she would die on her own
Shen Anlin was silent for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"Why?" Gu Shiba Niang said calmly.
"Why don't you accept the engagement? Why...don't you want to marry?" Shen Anlin asked in a deep voice, then lifted up his robe with one hand to reveal the robe underneath, reached out and patted his leg gently, "Is it because it hurts my leg? "
Why? Gu Shiba Niang's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her suppressed emotions suddenly boiled over because of these words.
"There is no reason, nothing..." She raised her head and looked at Shen Anlin, with a trace of fire dancing in her always deep eyes, and slowly uttered a few words, "It's just that I don't want you."
After saying these words, looking at Shen Anlin's slightly stunned expression, Gu Shiba Niang felt her nose was sore and tears seemed to pour out. At the same time, the shame, sadness and despair deep in her heart were accompanied by this sentence. The same words came out of his own mouth, and finally dissipated with a bang.
In the past two years, everything she had done with gritted teeth was to prevent the fate of her previous life from happening again, to not lose the loved ones she had lost, and to not regain the shame she had gained. For this reason, she tightened her nerves and changed her nature. Now she has finally waited for this moment.
Shen Anlin, it’s me who doesn’t want you, it’s me who doesn’t want you anymore. You will never have the chance to say you don’t want me anymore, and you will never inflict such humiliation on me again.
She picked up the wine glass again, Shen Anlin raised his hand, and the wine glass in his hand accurately hit the wine glass in front of Gu Shiba Niang, making a crisp sound and falling to the ground.
Gu Shiba Niang was caught off guard and her drinks spilled on the table. She just glanced at Shen Anlin and turned around to leave without saying a word.
It's over, we have nothing to do with each other from now on, and we never want to see each other again in this life.
"Gu Xiang." Shen Anlin's voice came from behind, with a little helplessness.
Gu Shiba Niang ignored it and put her hand on the door frame.
There was a sound of wind behind the clothes, and then a hand reached out to hold the door.
"Gu Xiang, don't make trouble." His voice rang in his ears, and the hot air brushed against Gu Shiba Niang's ears.
What
Gu Shiba Niang turned around in shock and looked at Shen Anlin's stubble-covered chin.
His broad cloak has been taken off, and he is wearing a dark, arrow-sleeved, round-necked shirt. He stands tall and has a majestic posture.
"Ah" Gu Shiba Niang exclaimed.
But the sound was quickly suppressed by Shen Anlin's hand covering her mouth.
"Shh, don't shout," Shen Anlin whispered.
what happened? what happened? His legs? Isn't his leg broken? Gu Shiba Niang stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes. She was unaware that he covered her mouth with his hands, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
This is impossible, this is impossible...
"Don't shout, this is...a secret." Shen Anlin looked down at the person in front of him. From such a close distance, he could clearly see that the skin on her face was like fine porcelain, and various emotions were intertwined in her eyes, including surprise, Shocked, panicked, angry….
anger
His hand suddenly hurt, and the girl bit his palm hard, and blood seeped out through the gaps between her fingers.
Shen Anlin didn't even blink his eyebrows and let her bite her hard. He just looked at her. The girl's wide eyes were filled with tears of anger, and an overwhelming sadness came over her instantly.
I don't know how long it took, but she let go and leaned against the door frame. There was blood on her lips, which formed a very strange scene with her porcelain-white face.
"Lie to me..." She took a few deep breaths and murmured.
"Isn't this what I was going to tell you..." Shen Anlin said in a low voice.
Gu Shiba Niang's eyes did not fall on him, and she did not seem to hear his words.
"He dares to lie to me..." She then murmured to herself, and the expression on her face suddenly became violent, "Even he wants to lie to me."
She turned around sharply and rushed out the door again.
"Gu Xiang" Shen Anlin once again stretched out his hand against the door, grabbed her arm at the same time, and raised his voice slightly, "Listen to me."
"Listen to what you said?" Gu Shiba Niang did not turn her head, but whispered, her voice full of sadness, "Tell me how Peng Yizhen treated you?"
Shen Anlin frowned slightly, "What are you talking about? What's Peng Yizhen? What does it have to do with him?"
Gu Shiba Niang turned her head and glared at him.
"Then who cured you?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly because of emotion.
Shen Anlin smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he said, "Sit down and talk."
Gu Shiba Niang sneered and said without moving, "Say."
Shen Anlin smiled and shook his head, "No one."
Gu Shiba Niang had a sneer on her lips as she looked at him and said word by word: "Master Lin's legs and veins have been injured. If you take good care of them, they will not hurt the five internal organs. However, if you want to stand up and walk again, unless you Hua When Tuo was alive, a miracle doctor came from heaven.”
After saying this, the smile on Shen Anlin's face froze slightly.
"How do you know?" he asked.
This is what the doctor said to Mr. Shen San and Mrs. Shen San. Because he was worried about the injured person's self-cultivation, even his patient should not know about it.
Is this girl already capable of placing spies in the Shen family? And he was placed next to Mrs. Shen San? A pharmacist, a seventh-grade county magistrate in a remote area, a timid and polite widow...
Of course I would know, I heard it with my own ears. Gu Shiba Niang looked at Shen Anlin's solemn questioning eyes and smiled coldly.
"Tell me who cured you." She still asked, without answering him.
The two men stared at each other in a stalemate.
"No one," Shen Anlin sighed softly, lowered his tone, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in her ear, "because my leg is not injured."
"Impossible..." Gu Shiba Niang shouted again.
Shen Anlin's hand covered her mouth again.
"This is a secret." Shen Anlin shook his head solemnly at her, "You are the fourth person who knows this secret now."
Gu Shiba Niang's eyes flickered uncertainly, full of surprise and disbelief.
"Eighteen Mother, I believe you." Shen Anlin looked at her for a moment, stood up straight, withdrew his hand, turned around, walked back to the window, and sat down again.
The room suddenly fell into silence, and only Gu Shiba Niang's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.
"Why?" After what seemed like a long time, Gu Shiba Niang's slightly hoarse voice sounded in a low voice.
Shen Anlin looked up at her, smiled, and poured the wine himself.
"No reason, because if I didn't pretend to be injured, I would be dead by now." He said lightly, his tone was relaxed, and he downplayed the danger of life and death.
"Why?" Gu Shiba Niang still asked.
Shen Anlin took a slow sip of wine, gently turned the glass in his hand, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Because my close relatives wanted me dead, but I saw through it and fought back and died. If I were still fine, those people behind him would not give up and redouble their revenge on me. Their purpose was actually just to kill me. I will become a useless person, so I will become a useless person first," he said lightly, with a smile in his eyes.
This simple sentence made Gu Shiba Niang pale in surprise.
"Your close relative? Want to harm you?" she asked in a daze, and the memories of her past life came to her instantly, causing her thinking to be temporarily confused.
His close relative, Mr. Shen San, had been ill in bed for several years and spent most of his time in a coma until he completely slept to death. His mother was not only his stepmother, but also his aunt, who knew etiquette and observed propriety. . . . The thought comes here.
The impression Mrs. Shen San left on her in this life completely overturned the impression in her memory. She was someone who knew etiquette, observed etiquette, and was dignified and approachable.
Could it be... A light flashed in her mind and she raised her eyes to look at Shen Anlin.
Shen Anlin smiled at her, nodded, and raised his glass, "You guessed it right, it's her."
Gu Shiba Niang swayed, sat on the chair, and held the corner of the table.
Impossible, impossible...how could this happen? This is completely wrong...could it be that their fate has also changed
"She seduced my father regardless of her shame, angered my sick mother to death, took away my mother's position, and enjoyed my mother's wealth. She also regarded me as a thorn in her side and quickly got rid of her, seeking the position of legitimate son for her own son..." Shen An Lin said slowly, the wine glass in his hand shattered, the fragments pierced his palm, and blood slowly dripped.
Gu Shiba Niang stared at him blankly, her mind pounding.
"She had known about the marriage between our two families, so she originally wanted to help me. Madam Gu must also understand that support is very important in matters related to in-laws. Her move was to prevent me from having any in-laws to rely on. I didn't expect that your family Although her family background is poor, but her financial resources are abundant, she conspired with you and my brother-in-law to control your property. Unexpectedly, you rejected her and spoke fiercely..." Shen Anlin laughed loudly when he said this, obviously thinking of it. This made me feel very happy.
Amidst laughter, Gu Shiba Niang stood up suddenly and walked away quickly.
"Gu Xiang" Shen Anlin was startled and stood up to call her.
"What else can you do, young master?" Gu Shiba Niang asked without turning around, her voice was low and full of exhaustion.
Shen Anlin was slightly startled, I haven't finished speaking yet, why didn't I listen
"I can't ask about your family affairs, and I have no interest in asking." Gu Shiba Niang replied, her voice paused slightly, "Don't worry, I won't tell others your secret. I'll take my leave."
"Gu Xiang," Shen Anlin called her again with a solemn expression. "Just wait for me. Within two years, I will promise you wealth and glory."
"Go to your wealth and glory." Gu Shiba Niang turned around and laughed, but her eyes were filled with tears. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Anlin tremblingly, as if she wanted to say something, but she just repeated this sentence, "Go to hell." Your wealth and glory"
This reaction was completely unexpected by Shen Anlin. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and his face looked confused.
"Shen Anlin, do you want to marry me now?" Gu Shiba Niang said lightly, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by unabashed ridicule.
"Not now, it has been like this since we learned about the engagement." Shen Anlin also replied lightly.
"Then let me tell you once again, this engagement is not a question of whether you recognize it or not, it's about us. I don't recognize it." Gu Shiba Niang smiled coldly.
"Why?" Shen Anlin asked in a low voice.
"Because you don't deserve it." Gu Shiba Niang tilted her jaw slightly and replied word by word.
Shen Anlin stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead. He seemed to have a headache. "Gu Xiang, as the saying goes, there is a fine line in everything. Why do you have to..."
Gu Shiba Niang sneered, "leave a thread in everything, a thread in everything..."
"You also know how to leave a fine line in everything? Then you were..." She said every word, but she stopped abruptly when she was about to leave her mouth.
"How was I then?" Shen Anlin looked at her and asked immediately, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
When you were so decisive and completely pushed yourself into a desperate situation, did you ever think about leaving a chance? However, it was not that time, but that life, nor was it right, nor was it that life...
Then, now, or then
At that time, it was already a vast and imaginary realm. When it comes, it is unknown to Shuiyue. I am still myself, but he is him, but not him.
"Eighteenth Mother?" Shen Anlin frowned and called out, seeing the girl's expression changing in front of him.
Gu Shiba Niang's eyes finally focused on his face again. This face was familiar yet unfamiliar. What was familiar was the appearance, but what was unfamiliar was the expression.
She had never seen a look on the face of the jealous person she knew. At this time, his eyes flashed with a trace of inquiry and doubt, and more of a puzzlement.
A trace of tiredness flashed in Gu Shiba Niang's eyes. She was reborn with deep hatred, but suddenly she discovered that this enemy who wanted to eat her bones and drink her blood was Ye Feiye in front of her
If she is the dead Gu Shiba, then the enemy she faces should still be Shen Anlin, who lived a life of splendor, wealth, and a wife and concubine according to the trajectory he should have. If she is Gu Shiba at this time, Mother, what does Shen Anlin in front of her have to do with her
The person who hurt her has been hurt. Unless she lives and lives with the Shen Anlin ten years later, she can have revenge and complain. But she died, died ten years later... this ten years later. What does Shen Anlin mean to her
She hates him, mocks him, curses him, and sets up obstacles to frame him at every turn, so what? The person who hurt her has already hurt her. Even if she kills Shen Anlin in front of her, it can't change the fact that she was hurt.
That’s it, that’s it.
All she can do now is never give this person a chance to hurt her again, and never have anything to do with this person again.
She slowly let out a breath and turned around slowly. The burden that trapped her body, tortured her soul, and made her breathless at any time was lifted with this breath.
Shen Anlin called out again, but Gu Shiba Niang didn't speak anymore. She opened the door and strode away, closing the door heavily behind her.
