Chapter 112: How about leaving him with nothing?
Chapter 112: How about leaving him with nothing?
The man suddenly put his hands on the edge of the table and moved closer to Shen Muxi.
Shen Muxi could even smell the medicinal fragrance emanating from the man - he had been taking the pills she gave him these days.
As soon as the idea popped into his mind, Shen Muxi's breathing was suddenly disrupted.
She turned her head away guiltily, "Isn't this... isn't the time yet?"
Murong Jingyan hummed and ordered his servants to place a small stove between the two of them. On the stove, there was a small copper rack filled with water, and on the copper rack, there was a set of exquisite wine warmers.
this...
Shen Muxi looked at Murong Jingyan in confusion.
The latter sat back in his original position slowly.
"It would take at least half a month to get back to Nanyuan from Beichen Kyoto, even if we rode as fast as we could. Are you sure you can finish your work in Beichen within a month?"
Afraid that Shen Muxi didn't know, he continued to remind her, "Gu Shi now has a lovely wife at home, who is also the white moonlight he once thought of. Even if he has been looking for you and your daughter these days, it is not necessarily because he cares about you and your daughter."
"Why should I care about him?" Shen Muxi asked, "Isn't it enough for him to come to me?"
She came back to seek revenge, not to do good.
She was in a state of being unable to live or die.
Even if he doesn't love her, she wants him to always be disgusted by the vicious woman next to him.
Thinking of Su Liuxi, the coldness in Shen Muxi's eyes became even more severe.
He Hong, who was standing by, was frightened and looked at Murong Jingyan with worry.
A complicated look flashed across Murong Jingyan's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Do you still hate him?"
His incoherent question completely stumped Shen Muxi.
Shen Muxi's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of confusion.
Hate?
Maybe.
When she was still a soul, she saw Gu Shi ignoring Xiao Xiao and letting Su Liuxi and her daughter plot against Xiao Xiao. She hated him every moment, even with every breath.
Later, when she was in Shen Xi's body, she remembered Xiao Xiao's tragic death in front of her. The piercing pain haunted her like a nightmare. She still hated...
I only hope to avenge Shen Xi as soon as possible, then return to Beichen and make Gu Shi and the entire Rongjun Palace be buried with him at all costs...
However, since she knew Xiaoxiao was not dead, her focus returned to Xiaoxiao...
During that time, all she could think about was how to wake Xiaoxiao up...
Later, Shen Xi entrusted her body to her and let her do whatever she wanted...
After going through all this.
She set foot on this land again.
My heart is no longer as radical as it was when I was first reborn.
She wants revenge.
Xiaoxiao waking up doesn’t mean the hurt is gone.
She wanted Gu Shi to truly understand the pain she had once felt, and she wanted those who had hurt her and her daughter to empathize with them...
Only in this way can we justify the suffering that the mother and daughter have endured.
Shen Muxi told Murong Jingyan her true feelings.
She deliberately let Murong Jingyan see her true face.
She thought that no one would want to have a vicious woman who was vindictive and never let go of anything by their side.
Especially someone like Murong Jingyan who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood...
"Your Highness, I'm back this time, and with your help, I feel like a fish in water. Since I've decided to return to Nanyuan, I'm here to ask for your mercy. One day, if you get what you want, I hope you can let Xiaoxiao and I live in seclusion in the mountains."
She smiled politely and her eyes were full of determination and sincerity.
Murong Jingyan avoided her gaze, smiled and waved his hand, "It's too early to talk about this right now. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
This is obviously because he is afraid that she will mess things up.
Shen Muxi thought about it carefully, put away the jade pendant, and said nothing more.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
A small red clay stove was warming the wine.
The "crackling" sound of burning charcoal is particularly obvious in a quiet environment.
The moonlight today is not very good.
It was early spring, and the nights were still a little chilly. A waning moon hung in the sky, and even ghosts were reluctant to come out.
A man in black jumped up and down several times, and landed in the front yard of Shen Muxi's house, handing an old scroll to He Hong.
He Hong checked it and made sure there was no problem before handing it to Murong Jingyan.
Murong Jingyan took it and opened it in front of Shen Muxi, then smiled slightly, "Okay, there's no need to stay for two or three days."
His initiative to speak broke the awkward silence between the two.
Shen Muxi took a curious look at what was in Murong Jingyan's hand.
"This is..."
Murong Jingyan put away the things in his hand and looked at Shen Muxi with a serious face, "Right now, you are here at most to irritate Gu Shi and cause trouble, but the honor of Rongjunwang Mansion is still there. Are you willing to accept this?"
Shen Muxi understood his hidden meaning and looked at Murong Jingyan with some expectation. "Your Highness means..."
Murong Jingyan chuckled and placed the paper on the charcoal fire.
After watching the flames lick up the paper, he looked at Shen Muxi and said, "Let's give him a fatal blow first, and then when we come to visit, we'll leave him with nothing. How about that?"
She didn't know if it was Shen Muxi's illusion, but she always felt that Murong Jingyan seemed to be targeting Gu Shi this time.
However, it was just what she wanted.
"That's the best."
Murong Jingyan smiled and picked up the wine jug in front of him, poured a glass for Shen Muxi, and added another glass for himself, "Then... I wish us a smooth cooperation."
Seeing him stand up to toast, with no intention of staying, Shen Muxi was a little surprised, "Are you leaving tonight?"
Didn’t we agree to stay for two or three days?
He left so suddenly again...
Shen Muxi even had the illusion that Murong Jingyan came and went in a hurry just to see her and Xiaoxiao...
"Now that we have the things, there is naturally no need to stay."
Murong Jingyan's words instantly brought Shen Muxi back to reality.
All right...
It turned out that it was to get something important.
Shen Muxi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
I could only smile dryly and raise my glass, "I wish our cooperation goes smoothly in advance."
The sweet warm wine went down her throat, with a hint of sweetness amidst the spiciness. Shen Muxi felt a warmth spreading from her stomach to her limbs, and she sighed with satisfaction.
"Good wine."
Murong Jingyan put down his wine glass and said, "I will leave He Xuan here. I have people in the Rongjun Palace. They both know He Xuan and He Yue. If you need any instructions, just go to them."
Just like when he came, he left quietly.
Shen Muxi never felt that there was such a big difference between being alone and being with two people in a room...
Until Hongdou came back, Shen Muxi was still staring at the empty seat in front of him in a daze.
"Miss, did someone come just now?"
Shen Muxi came back to his senses.
"An old friend."
She smiled and fooled it away, forcing herself to suppress the strange feeling in her heart.
Although the small red clay stove and wine warming utensils on the table were exquisite, they were also from the house, so Hongdou didn't think much about it.
"People are coming, right at the entrance of the alley."
Hearing Hongdou's words, Shen Muxi's eyes instantly became cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, follow the plan."
