I don’t know what method the owner of Xiaoyao Valley used. Half a month later, all the objections had disappeared. The matter of accepting Du Suxi as his adopted daughter was once again on the agenda, which made Du Suxi extremely surprised. Of course.
The opposition was so fierce before. She was not a fool, but she took it all into consideration. Even the planned date had to be postponed indefinitely, which proved the influence of this opposition. Du Suxi originally thought, This matter was too difficult. She thought that the owner of Xiaoyao Valley would give up on this matter in all likelihood, but she did not expect that in just half a month, this man would take action to settle everything, which really surprised her.
Du Suxi understands how difficult it is to silence everyone. Rumors are the most terrifying thing, but this valley owner handles them in an orderly manner and does not appear to be affected at all.
From this, it seems that the owner of Xiaoyao Valley is determined to accept her as his adopted daughter. Otherwise, he would never be so persistent!
No one is obligated to help someone. Du Suxi has always believed in this. What's more, the owner of Xiaoyao Valley is so helpful. He must have an agenda. But, what is the purpose of doing all this? She is a weak woman, and it seems that there is nothing that can catch his fancy? But if not, then why do it
What's the reason behind it? All of this was enough to make Du Suxi fall into deep thought, but she could never find an explanation.
Even though she couldn't figure it out, amidst the silence, she still became the special envoy of Xiaoyao Valley and the adopted daughter of the owner of Xiaoyao Valley.
In front of everyone, the owner of Xiaoyao Valley announced that he would give her a mansion.
This meant that she was moving out of Shen Mu's place. In this regard, Du Suxi had no right to choose. She could only nod and thank the owner of Xiaoyao Valley, or in other words, his adoptive father.
Shen Mu wanted to open his mouth to protect Du Suxi, but was stopped by a sharp look from the owner of Xiaoyao Valley. In the end, Shen Mu just opened his mouth, but only said one sentence to Du Suxi. "Take good care of yourself, I will visit you often."
One is his adopted son and the other is his adopted daughter. It is naturally inappropriate for them to live together. It is okay that their identities have not been confirmed. Now that their identities have been confirmed and they are still living together, there will definitely be rumors in a few days. spread.
That would be very bad for Shen Mu and Du Suxi's reputation.
Du Suxi could only silently thank Xiaoyao Valley Master. She acted well-behaved and docile, like a tamed pet. However, no one saw the moving light flashing in her eyes. .
The master of Xiaoyao Valley asked her to have a small gathering, but she refused on the grounds that she was not feeling well.
Returning to Shen Mu's house, Du Suxi looked at the courtyard where she had lived for more than half a month and sighed slightly, but still ordered the maid to pack her luggage.
However, it was just a luggage, and after packing it, it was just a few pieces of clothes. As for the rouge and gouache at her daughter's house, Du Suxi had never touched it.
It's not that she doesn't love beauty, it's just that she doesn't have the leisure and leisure time to do so. She also had the romantic fantasy she had when she was painting eyebrows with Jun in her spare time, but he suppressed it in her heart.
In the face of the harsh reality, all her fantasies were in vain.
Turning around, he saw Shen Mu standing behind him at some point, looking like he was hesitant to speak. Seeing him like this, Du Suxi smiled openly and even looked at him. Looking at Shen Mu, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a bit of ridicule.
"What? When did you learn to be shy like a big girl?"
She is still like this, acting so relaxed when others are sad, as if she doesn't care at all.
Shen Mu was stunned, immediately put away all his hesitation, stared at Du Suxi, and spoke seriously.
"Du Suxi, I want to have a good talk with you."
He was answered with a smile. Du Suxi turned to look at the maid who was following him, holding her meager luggage in her arms, and nodded.
"You first
Go out and let me talk to the young master. "
The maid nodded immediately. Du Suxi invited Shen Mu into the room. The surroundings had been tidied up and seemed a bit empty, just like the desolate atmosphere between the two of them.
"Don't worry, my adoptive father really thinks that so many people have recognized you as his adopted daughter, and he won't do anything to you. You can rest assured."
Shen Mu was the first to speak to break the silence, and even tried to raise the corners of his mouth to give Du Suxi a smile.
Du Suxi laughed directly, stared at Shen Mu, and spoke slowly. "If I remember correctly, my mother also died in this way. She took the position of the lady of Xiaoyao Valley, and then was strangled to death by her adoptive father. Isn't it ironic?"
She asked him if that was sarcastic, but the smile on her face was innocent.
Shen Mu was about to explain, but Du Suxi interrupted him with a smile. "Sorrow makes people alert, and happiness makes people relaxed. It is true."
She said that was indeed the case. Shen Mu is so smart, how can he not understand the meaning of Du Suxi's words. She clearly meant that Xiaoyao Valley Master was so kind to her because he deliberately made her relax her vigilance.
Shen Mu moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but under Du Suxi's close gaze, he couldn't say anything. He even had an idea in his heart that he agreed, maybe it was really like this.
Seeing that Shen Mu was silent, Du Suxi understood that her words had an effect. Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said hoarsely.
"Shen Mu, you must remember your promise to me. No matter what, you must ensure my safety here."
She spoke solemnly and seriously, as if she knew something. Shen Mu twitched the corners of his lips, trying to show a smile to reassure Du Suxi, but found that he couldn't smile.
He really couldn't say anything.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he even felt ashamed, but Du Suxi didn't notice the change in his expression. After thinking about it, he spoke again.
"From now on, you should start arranging ways for me to leave safely. I'm afraid, if it's too late, I might really..." Du Suxi didn't say anything else and just looked at Shen Mu.
For some reason, she always felt that that man was too dangerous. Obviously that man had been helping her and helping her gain a foothold in Xiaoyao Valley. She just subconsciously felt that this man was very dangerous, and her Intuition is always very accurate.
With such worries, Du Suxi was ready to find a way out for herself, a way out that she could go on safely.
"This will never happen! Du Suxi, this will never happen! My foster father will not do that!"
Perhaps Du Suxi's expression was too sad, which immediately stimulated Shen Mu, making Shen Mu nervous and vowed.
Du Suxi quietly looked at the confusion in the man's eyes, and felt a thump in her heart. She already understood that this man trusted his adoptive father very much, but he was afraid that he would not help her.
She said nothing more, with a gentle smile on her face, looking at Shen Mu and shaking her head. "I also made random guesses. Maybe I'm thinking too much. Maybe I've been thinking too much these days. It's okay. I will think about it carefully."
Only then did Shen Mu calm down.
"Take care of yourself, I will come to see you often when I have time." Seeing Shen Mu's intention to speak, Du Suxi hurriedly said, with a bright smile on her face, she told Shen Mu's intention The words were forcefully blocked back, but he smiled as if nothing had happened.
In fact, she didn't understand what Shen Mu was going to say next? But those words were not what he wanted to hear. He might be loyal to himself, but he was even more loyal to his adoptive father. Now she just raised a few conjectures, and he was so eager to deny them. If one day, If he really had a conflict with his adoptive father, then who would he help
In other words, he is indecisive? In other words, I want to rely on myself
Component Resolve Conflicts
Maybe he will really help him in the end? Du Suxi believed this, but by that time, it was probably too late.
Although she had only met that man twice, Du Suxi absolutely believed that this man was a ruthless person. Not only was he ruthless, but he was also very tolerant. If he didn't take action, he would definitely win with one blow.
The best example is the mother of the owner of this body.
I’m afraid that the woman named Chen Xi is also unexpected, right? Back then, when I returned to Xiaoyao Valley and became the mistress of Xiaoyao Valley, I slept with the mistress of Xiaoyao Valley for fifteen years. I originally thought that everything that happened fifteen years ago was over, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, I was unprepared. Then, the person next to him suddenly took action against him.
Not only that, but now no one in Xiaoyao Valley knows the news about Chen Xi’s death. Originally, if a mistress has not been seen for a year, everyone will become suspicious. However, this man does not know what means he used to make her People thought that the mistress just didn't like seeing people. There were millions of people in Xiaoyao Valley, but no one doubted why the mistress of the valley hadn't seen her for a year.
With this method and this strategy, Du Suxi had no choice but to admit it openly, and she was willing to be defeated.
Dealing with such a person, Du Suxi would never allow herself to relax even a little bit of vigilance! Therefore, she chose not to cooperate with Shen Mu anymore.
Even though she was in Xiaoyao Valley and was not familiar with the place, only Shen Mu could believe that even though the owner of Xiaoyao Valley might attack her at any time, she would not be able to guard against it. Even without Shen Mu's help, it would be very difficult to escape on his own.
She still resolutely gave up the chess piece Shen Mu.
She has always used people without suspicion, and in the same way, she has not trusted people with suspicion. Although Shen Mu is the only person who can help her, at the critical moment, it is very likely that it will become her weakness. She must not let such a thing happen.
Therefore, although she compromised with Shen Mu now, she was determined in her heart and was careful to guard against the intentions of the Master of Xiaoyao Valley.
She had already thought about it. Since the cold lake at the foot of Buzhou Mountain and the water in Huaqing Pool had the same effect, after she escaped safely, she would go to Buzhou Mountain to find the cold lake, even though she would face the risk of not being able to get out. , but it is much better than being coerced.
Everything was already well understood, but Du Suxi was in trouble when it came to how to protect herself. It seemed that everything still needed to be considered in the long term.
After smiling and saying a few words to Shen Mu, Du Suxi got into the carriage and said goodbye to Shen Mu and left.
Shen Mu watched Du Suxi leave, but for a while, he had no intention of returning home. He just stood there with his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind. When Xifeng saw this, why didn't he understand? He sighed in his heart, but took a step forward and spoke.
"Miss Du will be fine. I have deployed ten guards to protect Miss Du. Don't worry, sir."
Shen Mu just remained silent, but his heart was extremely complicated.
Just now, he didn't say anything, but he felt Du Suxi's initial panic and worry, and the feeling of urgent need for his help. That kind of panic made his heart clenched and worried. .
He was worried about Du Suxi. But he didn't expect that Du Suxi suddenly changed. The change was so fast that it was a world of difference. But according to his knowledge, Du Suxi should never give up easily.
How could it be so easy this time
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't detect what was wrong. Shaking his head, Shen Mu sighed and said.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on her and make sure nothing happens to her."
After a pause, he spoke again. "Send a few people to keep an eye on the actions of some valley owners. I'm afraid..."
For the next words, Shen Mu seemed to suddenly think of something and shook his head. After all, he didn't say anything. He just remained silent and turned around to go home.
