Xu Shu was stunned and looked up at the sky in a daze. The sky had not completely darkened yet, and the lanterns under the corridor had not been lit yet. Why did Zhuang Li come so swaying? He is not such a rash person!

No!

Zhuang Li never came to her on his own initiative, unless she had something to look for him, so he would only appear. Why did he suddenly come to him today? Moreover, didn’t Zhuang Li go to work in Li Jing? When did he come back?

"Where is he?" Xu Shu asked while walking back.

Lu He whispered, "Mr. Zhuang is waiting for you in your room... I don't know when it came. When I entered the house to change tea, I found Mr. Zhuang was in your room. I was shocked and asked Mr. Zhuang what was wrong. He said he wanted to see you, Miss. I asked Yuanyuan to guard the door and hurried to find you! And... and..."

"what else?"

"Young Master Zhuang... His face is not very good... It seems to be very angry..."

Xu Shu frowned slightly. What's wrong with Zhuang Li? He has never done such a ignorant thing before. Has something happened? Moreover, Zhuang Li never loses his temper in front of her anymore. Even if he pretends to be a big deal in his heart, he can act as if nothing happened in front of her. What's wrong today?

Xu Shu hurried back to Haitang Pavilion, guarding Yuanyuan's forehead at the door, facing the white cloth tape. A trace of light red blood was oozing out from the white cloth tape, emitting a faint smell of chicken blood. The show was really flawless, but Xu Shu had no intention of caring about this at this moment, so she quickly flashed into the house and closed the door.

Zhuang Li held his arms and looked at Xu Shu coldly, without saying a word, looking extremely angry.

Xu Shu seemed not to notice Zhuang Li's anger and asked lightly, "Why are you here? Did the prince ask you to say something? Didn't you go to work on the business in Li Jing? When did you come back?"

Xu Shu asked a series of questions, but did not distract Zhuang Li from his purpose. Zhuang Li looked at Xu Shu's calm and composed appearance as usual and sneered, "When will you hide it until?"

"Huh?" Xu Shu was stunned, "What am I hiding from you?" What did she hide from Zhuang Li? Xu Shu's thoughts changed and her face suddenly froze.

"Do you know where I went a while ago?"

“Where have you gone?”

"I went to Xiangyang Valley!"

"Go to pick up... Mr. Qin?" Xu Shu's heart skipped. Zhou Jin was back and would definitely pick up Mr. Qin again, but she didn't expect that Zhou Jin would send Zhuang away to pick up Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin...

well!

One hundred secrets and one sparse!

"It's good that you know!" Zhuang Li clenched his fists and said almost gritting his teeth, "If I hadn't heard what Mr. Qin said, I would have been hiding until... until you die?"

Why has he never thought about this? Why has he never thought about Xu Shu's body that falls when the wind blows?

Zhuang Li's eyes suddenly turned red. He had never thought that his separation with Xu Shu would come so quickly...

It's so fast that it's unexpected...

Even though he knew that the distance between him and Xu Shu was a gap that could never be crossed, as long as he could see her and see her well, he would be satisfied. However, now making this small request has become an unreachable luxury.

"Mr. Qin really has no professional ethics!" Xu Shu sighed. She thought that after Mr. Qin misunderstood that she was pregnant and told the Empress Dowager almost killed her, Mr. Qin should learn to keep his mouth shut. Unexpectedly, this time...ah!

"So this is true..." Zhuang Li smiled desolately, and Xu Shu didn't deny it. The last trace of luxury he still left was also broken!

On the day Zhou Jin came back, he said in front of Zhou Jin that "Xu Shu is almost dead" and it turned out to be true. "I have known you for so long, but I actually realized that you are going to die..."

Once upon a time, he teased Xu Shu countless times, "A good person doesn't live long, and it will last for thousands of years!" But what he didn't expect was that Xu Shu was the "good person". Whenever he heard him say this, how did Xu Shu feel in his heart?

"Life and death have a life, I... have been indifferent!" As early as when Li's bowl of poison failed to kill her, Xu Shu had already realized that living for one more day in the rest of her life would be profitable.

Xu Shu still remembers that when she was very young, the doctor said that she could not stand up to her well. In the future, it depends on her luck. Now it seems that her luck is not bad, and she has lived for several more years. Later, she was older, perhaps because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when she knew it, so no one mentioned this again, but she didn't know that she had already understood it.

"So you never owe anyone anything, just because you are afraid that you can't pay it back, right?"

Zhuang Li finally understood where Xu Shu's coldness that was revealed from her bones, which came from the outside world, because Xu Shu knew that if she didn't pay back what she owed in time, she would have no future to pay it back, so she clearly defined the boundaries from the beginning.

"I just don't want to owe others, so as not to be scolded even if I die!" Xu Shu laughed at herself.

"Then are you paid it back now? But think carefully, don't miss anything!" Zhuang Li looked at Xu Shu coldly. What he contained in his heart was not angry, not anger, nor hatred, but an emotion that he could not even explain clearly. Even if he was facing death, Xu Shu himself was indifferent, but he was even more angry than Xu Shu himself.

Xu Shu smiled faintly, "It's probably all the same! I don't care about many people now, and they have all been arranged..."

Although Xu Xian cannot get married during the filial period, she has already entrusted Xu Xian to Xu Jing. With Xu Jing protecting him, Xu Xian will definitely be safe and smooth. She probably can't see Xu Xian getting married.

When talking about her own funeral, Xu Shu was as relaxed as if she was telling other people's stories.

Zhuang Li wanted to ask if Xu Shu was concerned about him, but his heart was blocked. He wanted to ask but couldn't ask. He was looking forward to Xu Shu's concern, but he was afraid that the answer Xu Shu revealed had nothing to do with him.

"Then... what about the prince? The prince is one of the people you care about?" Although he knew that he and Zhou Jin were different in Xu Shu's heart, Zhuang Li couldn't help asking.

Xu Shu let out a light breath, "I can only do so much, no matter how much I have, I can't take care of it!"

Is the implication that Zhou Jin is the part she doesn’t care about?
