I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

But Shen Qingyu, the Jinggang River is gloomy and cold. Is it really worth it for you to leave your body to be destroyed for the love in your heart?

Jiang Huashan kept this half sentence in her heart and did not say it out loud.

Shen Qingyu froze in place, his wildly raised almond-shaped eyes seemingly stripped of all their sharpness in an instant. No one knew how much damage the words "you will jump into the Jinggang River" had done to him.

At this moment, his soul seemed to be knocked out by something and sank into the bottomless sea. The world was silent, and only he was facing death.

Cold, hopeless, and lifeless.

After a long time, Shen Qingyu suddenly felt a little warmth in his palm.

The warmth slowly spread in the silent darkness, and the cold sea water and the desperate death receded together.

Shen Qingyu gradually became dazed and lowered his eyes to look at his palm.

A cup of warm tea was placed in his palm.

The brown tea soup was constantly spreading ripples, and he was reminded of the illusion he had just experienced at the bottom of the sea.

The Gu family has been making frequent moves in Xiwan in recent years, and has close contacts with the governor and wealthy gentry of Xiwan. How could he really not understand what the old lady is planning?

In this world of fame and fortune, even fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives can turn against each other over profit, let alone two families with different surnames? Therefore, he felt that he had no position to criticize the old lady's plan for the advancement of the family.

In fact, as early as the moment the old lady proposed to take him back to the Gu family, he knew that there would be competition between the Shen and Gu families. He chose to stay in the Shen family, not only because of Shen Manor, but also because he wanted to serve as a hub to maintain the balance of friendly competition between the two families.

But Jiang Huashan's words completely shattered his luck and made him unable to deceive himself anymore.

In the power struggle, with intrigues and deceptions, and the fight for life and death, how can there be any fair competition?

Just like the Weiyangtai incident this time, although he has tried his best to control himself from doubting the Gu family, so many timely things really make it hard to convince people.

Shen Qingyu lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The warm liquid flowed down his throat into his internal organs. The blood flowed quickly to his nerve endings, causing a tingling and sore feeling.

He put down the teacup, and when he looked up again, no emotion could be seen in his eyes.

"I won't let that possibility exist."

Jiang Huashan was a little confused, "What?"

Shen Qingyu stood up, bent down, took Jiang Huashan's hand, and placed the teacup in her palm.

"If the Gu family dares to hold out a knife, I will chop off the Gu family's knife. There will always be a day when you will believe me."

As soon as he finished speaking, an autumn breeze blew into the yard.

The world before my eyes gradually transformed into thousands of pixels, which began to spin like a Rubik's Cube. The blue of the sky turned into the reflection of the lake, and the indigo in the distance turned into the vines in front of me. They were disrupted in disorder, and at this moment it seemed as if everything had lost its definition.

Jiang Huashan looked at the world in front of her in fascination. This was the world she had disrupted.

After experiencing Shen Jiao's death, she became tired of having to change her fate one by one. Perhaps she was wrong from the beginning. She has been busy since she came back, thinking about changing this and that. Subconsciously, she regarded herself as the savior who would change the future.

But in fact, she cannot save anyone. Like everyone else, she is just an experiencer of this world. The only difference is that she experiences the past in the future.

Since we are all experienced people, there is no high or low. Not only her, but everyone can change their own destiny.

-[World Drama Rule 4: This world's plot cannot be altered by any force other than the Drama Gate.]

She is about to change her destiny, so why should she abide by the so-called rules of the play?

These rules themselves are traps. True freedom should not be defined by any rules. As long as she is trapped in the rules, she will never be able to break the order of this world.

She should believe in them, that they don't need to be saved, that they can be their own salvation.

When Jiang Huashan woke up from the illusion, Shen Qingyu had already left. She didn't know when he left, but because of this conversation, she temporarily lost the mood to look for Shen Lanxi.

In the afternoon, Jiang Huashan went to Dongyuan to visit Shen Jiao. They were having a happy chat when Feng Ma ran in hurriedly.

Shen Jiao recovered well, looking much better than when she first woke up. She glanced at Feng Ma and asked casually, "What happened?"

Feng Ma's eyes wandered between Jiang Huashan and Fu Sui'er, and she sighed softly, "Qinyuan is in turmoil."

Shen Jiao frowned, "What's the fuss?"

Aunt Feng, "Master Qingyu wants to drop out of school, saying he doesn't want to pursue a career in government. Mr. Shen Er flew into a rage and started a scene in Qin Garden."

"Drop out of school?!" Jiang Huashan was stunned and looked at Feng Ma in disbelief.

*

At this time, Qinyuan was in chaos.

Shen Yuan smashed the table and threw the chair in anger, and the wound on his shoulder was pulled and faintly bloody.

"If you dare say that again, I'll break your legs! Do you really think I can't control you?" He pointed at Shen Qingyu while breathing heavily.

Shen Guiling and Shen Lanxi had different expressions, and they looked at Shen Qingyu kneeling in front of the hall calmly.

Blood was oozing from Shen Qingyu's forehead, and his waist was straight. He didn't take Shen Yuan seriously at all, and looked at Shen Zhuang with paranoid eyes.

Shen Zhuang relaxed his tone and said, "Tell grandpa why you want to drop out of school?"

"You dare to retreat, I..."

Shen Zhuang pressed his forehead, unable to bear it any longer, and pointed his cane at Shen Yuan, "Shut up! I'm not dead yet, how can I tolerate you shouting and yelling about fighting and killing?"

"dad!"

Shen Qian was afraid that Shen Yuan would anger Shen Zhuang again, so he immediately stood up and held him back, "Calm down first, isn't Dad handling it?"

Shen Yuan's face was extremely ugly. As a businessman, he was looked down upon. Even though his current business empire was unshakable, he was always inferior to Shen Qian and Shen Xi. So Shen Yuan dreamed that Shen Qingyu could pursue a career in politics and hold the power of life and death. Shen Qingyu dropping out of school at this time was simply making a joke of his own future, which he could not accept in any way.

"Dad, please persuade him." Shen Yuan didn't dare to act rashly and could only place his hopes on Shen Zhuang.

Shen Zhuang was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved his hand, "You all go out first."

Everyone immediately stood up and avoided it.

After everyone left, Shen Zhuang stood up and walked down the hall. He personally helped Shen Qingyu up and said, "Tell grandpa, what happened?"

Shen Qingyu raised his eyes, his gaze as tough as a sword drawn from its sheath, "Grandpa, how about I become the head of the Gu family?"

Shen Zhuang was stunned, and the calm depths of his eyes seemed like the surface of a lake rippling with wind.

"I've figured it out. I don't have to choose between you and Mother-in-law. As long as I hold power in my hands, all of this can be easily resolved. I always remember my grandfather's teachings, so my sword will never be pointed at my own people."

Shen Zhuang was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Qingyu, this will be very hard for you."

"I'm not afraid."
