"regret?"

Xu Shu shook her head, "No! I don't plan to hide it from you for the rest of my life. I will tell you sooner or later. Since you already know, it will save me a lot of effort from being alienated and related to you. How could I regret it?"

"Is that true?" Zhou Jin suddenly smiled coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will take my anger out of the Zheng family?"

"You won't!" Xu Shu replied calmly and confidently.

"Are you so sure?" Looking at Xu Shu's calm and composed appearance, Zhou Jin really wanted to take his anger at the Zheng family and let Xu Shu have a taste of heartache.

Xu Shu nodded, "You are a smart person. You will not ignore your future for a woman who doesn't love you at all! Now everyone knows that you are the adopted son of the empress dowager. As a relative of the Fu family, the Fu family has made great contributions to welcome you. Now the Fu family is proud of their contributions and will eventually be tolerated by you. You must need a family that can check and balance the Fu family to suppress the Fu family. The Deng family strongly advocated sending you to Rouran as a proton, but later to stop you, they still use all kinds of tricks. Even if you are so generous that you can use the Deng family without compromising the past, I am afraid that the Deng family will be suspicious.

You have no purpose and are unwilling to use it for you, so this suitable candidate is the Zheng family! If you want to use the Zheng family to suppress the Fu family, even if you really get rid of the Fu family as you wish in the future, you will not attack the Zheng family. Eliminating the two major families in one breath will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, and it will also make the Deng family the dominant risk, so you will always keep the Zheng family! By the way, when it comes to the Fu family, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, the Fu family and the Queen Mother would not have shown their ambitions so quickly, and you did not have an excuse to rebel with the Fu family!"

Zhou Jin shivered in anger. No matter when, Xu Shu was always so calm, as calm as a heartless stone man. Of course, he really couldn't take his anger out of the Zheng family, not because the Zheng family has value in utilization, but just because she is also a member of the Zheng family. Even when she reaches this point, he still takes care of her...

"But there is still Zhuang Li, right?"

When talking about Zhuang Li, Zhou Jin felt inexplicably jealous. Xu Shu used him, but why didn’t he use Zhuang Li? If Xu Shu really wanted to get rid of his use, why would he go north to see him off? Just follow Zhuang Li directly, but Xu Shu was unwilling because Zhuang Li could not help her complete her redemption of the Zheng family. So even though she knew that Zhuang Li was willing to do so, she still trampled on him without mercy. He was the same pitiful person as Zhuang Li.

Even if Zhou Jin sympathized with Zhuang Li, it did not affect his use of Zhuang Li to threaten Xu Shu at this moment. Although he knew that this might be useless, his anger was raging in his heart, burning him torture.

"You won't touch Zhuang Li either!"

Speaking of Zhuang Li, Xu Shu became even more calm. "When the late emperor was in power, he advocated the reduction of the vassals. Before half of the time, the middle way collapsed. In the future, you will inherit the legacy of the late emperor and are determined to reduce the vassals! You have a good friend to Ping Xining because the King of Xining has no son and will not oppose your proposal to reduce the vassals! But the King of Donghai is different. The King of Donghai has long been unjust and has a close relationship with the Queen Mother, so you can't tolerate him! Zhuang Li once served for the King of Donghai, and he has many handles of the King of Donghai. You must not be able to deal with him!"

Zhou Jin closed his eyes in despair and had to admit that Xu Shu was right. I don’t know if it was because Xu Shu knew him too much, or because Xu Shu had already looked at the overall situation and thought of everything possible. Step by step, she had paved the way out of the Zheng family and Zhuang Li’s future, so he had no qualifications to be angry. He could only accept this cruel reality and accept everything that Xu Shu gave him, including pain.

"...You are right! I can't do anything to the Zheng family, let alone Zhuang Li, I can't do anything to you, what else can I do? I can't do anything!"

After a long time, Zhou Jin finally admitted this in despair. He could do nothing except know the truth.

Xu Shu sighed quietly, "I have done everything I can to do for you. If it weren't for an accident and letting you know in advance, you wouldn't be so unacceptable!"

It is difficult to accept it if you know in advance? Does Xu Shu think that time can cool his heart towards her little by little?

"If I hadn't come today, what would you do?" Even though I knew that it would be meaningless to ask this, Zhou Jin still couldn't help but wonder where he was in his life planned by Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" Zhou Jin nodded firmly. He wanted to know how many more hurtful words Xu Shu could say.

"My father is dead, and I am incompatible with the Queen Mother and the Fu family! You are stuck in the middle and are in a dilemma. You feel pity for the pain of losing my father and tend to me, but the Queen Mother is not happy to see this. She will put pressure on you from many aspects to keep you away from me. All I have to do is ignore it and make your efforts not respond to. Then your pity for me will gradually fade away with the pressure accumulated from the Queen Mother over time... In the face of power, you will eventually compromise! In this way, I can tell you the truth naturally. At that time, you will only feel lucky! Finally, you don't have to be in a dilemma anymore!"

Helplessness, powerlessness, despair, anger, hatred, pain... Countless emotions surged into his heart, leaving his mind blank, and he didn't know where to go, but what he saw in front of him was Xu Shu's calm face that made him hate.

"How can you...how can you do this to me?How can you do this to me?"

Zhou Jin suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Shu's neck. Xu Shu kept motionless and allowed Zhou Jin to pinch her throat. Her thin and slender neck was as fragile as if she could crush it with just a slight force, but Zhou Jin couldn't pinch it down for a long time.

This is the woman he loved for several years. He was planning their future, but she just wanted to stay away. In the final analysis, is she too ruthless, or is he loved the wrong person?

A hazy mist rose in front of her eyes. In the mist, Xu Shu's face gradually became blurred. He could no longer see her expression. He no longer had to look at her expression, nor did he guess what she thoughts in her heart. She had nothing to do with him anymore...

Zhou Jin suddenly let go of his hand and staggered back. He still couldn't do anything to Xu Shu. He was the person he had loved all his heart. Even if she hurt him deeply, he still couldn't use the way to hurt her to relieve the pain in his heart.

"Do you know that I told my mother that I would marry you as my wife! I will spend my life with me! How could my feelings for you change due to obstruction from others? In the end, it was my wishful thinking..."
