Duke Jing's younger sister

The sky is high, the wind is warm, and the green willows are shady.

Some children were throwing stones at the edge of the pond, causing ripples on the water surface, forming circles and spreading out.

Shen Beiqi discovered that, since some time ago, there seemed to be subtle changes in the way they get along.

When she was in front of Luo Cheng, she was lively and bright, with the brightness and brightness of her teenage years.

But at this moment, Shen Li stood in front of him, and her lively deer eyes suddenly became dim, like a starless and moonless night sky, which had lost its luster.

Could it be that she is still blaming him...

Even if I blame him and create a rift between him and me, that's what he deserves.

Shen Beiqi sighed secretly, walked towards her and took the piano from her hand.

"Why are you still holding it? Isn't it heavy?"

The tone of his voice was so gentle that Shen Li was startled.

"...I...want to find a reliable person to send the zither back to the Shen Mansion first."

Shen Beiqi nodded and called Yue Yang who was not far away.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"You go back to the mansion in person and deliver this zither to Qinghui Courtyard."

"Yes!"

Yue Yang took the zither, bowed and left.

After a brief silence, Shen Li wanted to escape. After staying with Shen Beiqi for too long, the bitterness in her heart became more and more intense, and she almost couldn't breathe.

"Thank you, brother. I'll go in first."

As soon as Shen Li turned around, Shen Beiqi's inquiring voice sounded behind him.

"Did you encounter any trouble at the birthday banquet today?"

If his guess was correct, when Shen Li went to the pavilion to look for Luo Cheng before the birthday banquet began, it was to seek help.

Shen Beiqi felt inexplicably lost in his heart. The little girl who once relied on him for everything has finally grown up. When she encountered difficulties, the first person she thought of was no longer him.

Shen Li paused slightly. The matter had already been resolved. What was the point of saying more?

Besides, if Shen Beiqi knew that Ziyuan betrayed her, he would definitely not let her off easily.

Since Shen Li entered the Shen Mansion, Zi Yuan has been with her. She has been in the Shen Mansion for eight years, and Zi Yuan has also served her for eight years.

When Shen Li first entered the mansion, she was often bullied by the servants in Qinghui Courtyard. However, Ziyuan did not collude with those who bullied her. She always served with all her heart and soul, and was calm and seldom made mistakes.

Although she was also heartbroken, she still wanted to hear what Zi Yuan's reasons were for choosing to betray her again and again.

"Nothing happened, brother, you are worrying too much."

"is it?"

Shen Beiqi's lips curled slightly, his bright peach eyes showing an unclear feeling of sadness and joy. He turned around and looked at the tender green lotus leaves unfolding in the pond, "Go ahead."

Shen Li bowed towards his back, turned and left, but did not return to the flower hall.

She walked along the gravel path, her steps as heavy as her heart.

Shen Beiqi, only she herself knows how important this name is in her life.

When she first arrived at the Shen Mansion, she was like a frightened little rabbit, trembling with fear in front of everyone and treading on thin ice in everything she did.

Every time Yang sent someone to call her to Qiwu Pavilion, she was afraid all the way.

He kept thinking in his mind whether he had done something wrong or not, and whether he should be kicked out of the Shen Mansion and wander the streets.

Even though she had changed her name to Shen Li, she still did not feel a sense of belonging in the Shen Mansion.

It was not until later that Shen Beiqi vented his anger for her by beating up all the servants and maids in the yard, and drove out all those who had bullied her in private from the Duke's Mansion.

Only then did she realize that there was someone she could rely on and trust.

He is like a bright and warm light in the dark night, a life-saving straw held in the hand of a drowning person, a ray of warm sunshine in the long winter, and an oasis in the endless desert.

However, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the whole world; its glory can never belong to her alone.

She also did not have the right to overbearingly bring him into her territory and not allow anyone to spy on him.

She even thought selfishly that if he never married, she would never marry either. Just staying by his side as a younger sister for the rest of her life would be a kind of happiness.

But soon, the name Shen Beiqi and the person were about to be completely owned by another woman.

When she thought about him being so intimate with other women, her heart ached.

Why not, just forget it...

I want to forget, but I can’t. How can I forget?

"What are you doing here alone?"

Shen Li came back to her senses, and her pretty face was already covered in tears. Luo Cheng accurately caught her action of secretly wiping away tears, and was also stunned.

"Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

Luo Cheng was incredulous. "This is in my Luo family. Who dares to be so presumptuous? Tell me who it is, and I'll take you to get back at him. I'll beat him to a pulp!"

He raised his voice, successfully attracting the suspicious gazes of people not far away. Shen Li gently pushed his arm and said, "What are you yelling about!"

"Tell me who bullied you!"

"No one bullies me." Shen Li said this and continued walking forward.

Luo Cheng followed him without giving up, "No one is bullying you, why are you crying?"

"…The sand blinded me, and the wind blew my eyes. That's all."

"Only a ghost can believe it!"

"Believe it or not, who cares if you believe it!"

Luo Yan: “…”

"How can you be so ungrateful? I helped you twice today, and you didn't even say thank you!"

Shen Li stopped and asked, "You helped me twice?"

"Yes, you said you wanted to borrow a zither, so I found a very good one for you. At the birthday banquet, you wanted the zither, and I helped you get it. I successfully gave it to you, so I helped you twice!"

Shen Li's face turned green, "Do I want the Jinghong Qin?"

"Yeah! You're looking at me..." Luo Cheng winked, imitating her behavior at the birthday party, "This is like you like Jinghong and want it, right?"

Shen Li: "..."

Shen Li couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped hard on Luo Cheng's other foot that had not been hurt.

There was no one around at the moment, so Luo Cheng immediately hugged his foot and screamed, "Shen Li, you stepped on my foot on purpose again!"

In the pavilion, three people sat around a table and could see the two people playing around not far away.

Xiao Wencong smiled as he looked at the man in green shirt beside him, "Sir Shen, your sister looks very temperamental."

After saying that, he cast a look at Luo Jue who was drinking tea, "If you, as the elder brother, don't hurry up, I'm afraid your second brother will catch up with you."

Luo Jue smiled awkwardly and said, "As a brother, you should be broad-minded."

Xiao Wencong just smiled without saying anything. Shen Beiqi withdrew his gaze and unconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand.

"How's the progress on the Jiang family matter?" Xiao Wencong asked.

Shen Beiqi calmed down and said, "I have already arranged everything in Liangzhou. The memorial requesting merit should arrive in half a month."

"If we want to suppress Lin Zewen's arrogance, Jiang Minzhi is the most suitable person. After all, there are many students in the West School, twice as many as in the East School." Luo Jue said.

Shen Beiqi nodded, "Indeed, Censor Guo is the best at guessing the emperor's mind. When the memorial arrives, he will follow your majesty's wishes and propose to rehabilitate the Jiang family. There is no need for us to interfere in other matters."

After the Jiang family is rehabilitated, she will probably return to Changzhou.

Shen Beiqi looked from afar and saw that the place where the boy and girl were playing just now was no longer there. Only a ray of sunlight slanted on the stone wall of the rockery, slightly dazzling.
