Frost shines on Qingcheng

After Shen Shuangzhao ran out of the house, she hid alone. When Luo Qi found her in the afternoon, she saw her leaning against a pillar sitting on the secluded corridor in a daze.

"It's getting late, do you want to go back with me?" Luo Qi stood in front of her, looking down at her.

Shen Shuangzhao raised her eyes, frowned slightly and narrowed her eyes, she didn't know whether her eyes were looking at her, or looking at the leaves behind her mercilessly through her.

"Forget it, you and your mother haven't seen each other for a long time, I'd better let you stay here for a few more days." Luo Qi paused, and then said seriously, "Why don't I summon all the ministers to the main hall of Qingcheng to discuss matters, so that both I can stay with you without delaying the business, what do you think?"

Shen Shuangzhao looked away: "There is no need for this. If you really want to accompany me, when my mother's condition improves, I will take her back to Shuilan City."

Hearing what she said meant that she no longer resisted being with her, Luo Qi was very happy. He squatted down and held her hand, his eyes locked on Shen Shuangzhao's devoutly and intently: "As long as you stay by my side, you I will try my best to satisfy you." Shen Shuangzhao's meekness even made her feel flattered.

The breeze gently lifted Shen Shuang's broken hair on the side of her face. She looked at Luo Qi with fixed eyes, but said nothing.

Luo Qi kissed her hand: "Shuilan City and Bihai still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, I can't stay any longer. When I have free time, I will bring Youer to accompany you."

"Okay." Shen Shuang moved her lips and only said one word.

Luo Qi left, Shen Shuang looked at her petite back, recalled the feeling when he kissed her, and instantly became irritable.She stroked her lips, closed her eyes and even frowned tightly, feeling guilty of betraying Lu Qingrong.I'm afraid it's best not to let her know about this matter in the future.

……

The maid brought the soup to Shen Wanrong as usual, Shen Shuang stopped the maid and asked, "Where did this medicine come from?"

"Returning to the city lord, it was prepared by the famous doctor invited by the lord some time ago."

Shen Shuangzhao picked up the decoction and smelled it, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.She said, "Let's all back down, I'll just give you the medicine."

The maid bowed and left one after another. Shen Shuangzhao scooped up a little bit with a spoon and brought it to Shen Wanrong's mouth. Just as she wanted Shen Wanrong to open her mouth, Shen Wanrong took the spoon herself.Although the movement was very slow, it was very purposeful. He slowly opened his mouth and drank the medicine in the spoon, but some soup still flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Shuangzhao smiled gratifiedly, and took a handkerchief to wipe off the medicine stains on the corners of her mouth: "When will you fully recover?"

Shen Wanrong just looked at her without any reaction.

"It's okay, you're already recovering, aren't you? Luo Qi will save you...I trust her." Shen Shuangzhao comforted herself.Since it was Luo Qi who harmed Shen Wanrong like this, she naturally has a way to heal her.Or she was assuming that maybe Shen Wanrong's illness was a game set up by Luo Qi from the very beginning.Since she is betting on herself, and Luo Qi wants to get herself, then she will solve the game she set up with her own hands.

Jingyu stood outside the door, silently watching Shen Shuangzhao talking to herself.After a while, she left quietly again.

……

"Apart from being with Shen Wanrong, what else did she do?" Luo Qi asked Jingyu casually, looking at the official document in his hand.

Jingyu replied: "The city lord sometimes goes to sit with Ling Yan, just to chat about unimportant things."

"Irrelevant?" Luo Qi raised his eyebrows, put down the official document and raised his head, "Let's hear it, how is it 'irrelevant'?"

Jingyu bit her lower lip uneasily, and said, "For example, future plans, the city lord's injury, Shen Wanrong's illness, and..."

"What else?"

Jingyu hovered between saying and not saying, she took a peek at Luo Qi, who happened to be looking at her too.Luo Qi's cold eyes made her shudder, and she hurriedly said: "And Ling Yan will ask the city lord if he really wants to be with the lord?"

"What did Shen Shuangzhao say?" Luo Qi stared at her intently, and added, "I want to tell the truth."

"The city lord said 'yes', saying that since he agreed to you, both parties must fulfill their promises. And... and she thinks that you don't seem to be that bad to her, and you are also good to the citizens of Shuilan City. After so many years, she has taken it lightly. I would be happy to be a nominal city lord under your protection."

These words sounded like Luo Qi should be happy, but when she thought of Shen Shuangzhao being so loyal and infatuated with Lu Qingrong, the sourness and jealousy in her heart began to make trouble again.Her lonely tone revealed her inferiority complex: "Jingyu, do you think Shen Shuangzhao would really be willing to stay by my side? How sincere is she to me?"

Jingyu couldn't help but feel bitter for her, the Lord has clearly loved her for so many years, why did she only wake up to her feelings for Shen Shuangzhao now?If she had understood since she was a child, she would treat Shen Shuang better, how could she have fallen to this point?

"My lord, Jingyu thinks that the city lord is sincere to you. It's just that what you did to her before was too cruel, and it's natural for her to be unable to let go of it for a while. But look, her attitude towards you has softened now. Many, given time, the lord will be able to untie her knot."

Luo Qi nodded again and again: "You're right." She wanted Shen Shuang to illuminate what Bai Lu Qingrong could give her, and she could give her the same, or even more.

"If the Lord is concerned about gains and losses, why not use the previous method?" Jingyu asked boldly.

"what?"

"Gu..." Jingyu only raised her head.

Luo Qi sneered at this, and said, "You think Gu worms are so easy to raise? After so many years of raising them from childhood to adulthood, I only raised three, and each one was fed with my blood." To manipulate Gu worms A corresponding price must be paid, "Now that the three are all used up, where can I find the fourth? Besides, even if there is, I will not use it on Shen Shuangzhao. What I want is her heart, not A puppet without a soul."

Shen Shuang shines on Lu Qingrong's heart, and she wants to take it away bit by bit.

It was night, and just as Shen Shuangzhao took off her clothes and lay down, she heard the voice of a maid outside the door saluting to Luo Qi.She gathered the clothes on her body, wrapped the quilt tightly and shrank to the side of the bed.

Luo Qi opened the door and came in, took off his coat and lay down on her side unceremoniously: "Don't you want me to share some quilt?"

Shen Shuangzhao, who was still facing her back, wrapped the quilt around her body, and said quietly, "No." After saying that, she only heard Luo Qi's chuckle in the darkness.

"If I catch a cold, I will depend on you to take care of me."

After being quiet for a while, Shen Shuang moved her body and removed the quilt under her body.Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Luo Qi could still feel her helplessness.She lifted a corner of the quilt and got in, and stuck to Shen Shuangzhao's chest and back.

Shen Shuangzhao: "It's so late at night, why do you still come here?" Luo Qi put his hand on her waist, and hugged her tightly from behind.

"I miss you so much, I really don't want to be separated from you for a moment." Although Luo Qi hugged her, she could clearly feel that Shen Shuangzhao's body was tense uncomfortably.

Originally, she didn't want to talk to her, but Shen Shuangzhao suddenly became curious and said, "Except for me, have you hugged other people like this?"

Mentioning this, Luo Qi was inexplicably agitated, but avoided it skillfully: "No more, there will be no one else except you in the future."

Shen Shuangzhao hooked one corner of her mouth meaninglessly, except for Lu Qingrong's single-mindedness, she has nothing to do with anyone else.

Her silence made Luo Qi mistakenly think that she was unhappy, so he specially kissed her on the cheek intimately: "I mean it, those people... I haven't seen those people for a long time, let alone..."

"I don't want to hear it." Shen Shuangzhao interrupted her coldly. Although it was the truth, she tried her best to make her tone sound sour, but not so deliberate.

Luo Qi was afraid of adding fuel to the flames, so he comforted her repeatedly: "Okay, okay, if I don't say anything, don't be angry." In fact, she was secretly delighted at the intentional or unintentional "jealousy" in Shen Shuang's words, and you also You care about me, don't you?

Shen Shuangzhao didn't speak any more, although Luo Qi's clinging to her made her very uncomfortable, but after all, she couldn't resist the waves of drowsiness and fell asleep.

Compared to her drowsiness, Luo Qi was quite sober, and there was still a faint worry in his heart.As for what he was worried about, in the end it was still Lu Qingrong.She hugged Shen Shuangzhao even tighter, Lu Qingrong... was really a thorn in her heart.

------------------------------------------

"Look at you, you're coughing again." Luo Ji caressed Cai'er's back distressedly.

Cai'er coughed for a while before recovering, and leaned weakly in Luo Ji's arms: "I want to see You'er..." Since meeting Shen Shuangzhao that day, the depression in her heart has become more serious.Whenever she thinks of her daughter and that person, she almost sheds tears. How can she be as innocent as she was back then?

Luo Ji hugged her worriedly, blaming himself and being helpless, and finally said: "My sister said that in a few days, you will let You'er follow us back to Bihai, Cai'er, you..."

Hearing this, Cai'er, who has always been gentle, pushed him away, stood up and almost yelled at him: "Sister, sister, you will always only listen to your sister, are you and me really important in your heart? Why? I can't even see my own children?"

Looking at her pale face, Luo Ji's heart twitched fiercely, and he hurriedly explained: "Of course you and You'er are the most important people to me, but you also know..."

Cai'er burst into tears and started coughing non-stop. Luo Ji wanted to touch her but she refused.

"That's enough, I don't want to see you for the time being." Cai'er took a step back, left after saying this.

Luo Ji didn't catch up, but just punched the wall angrily to vent his anger.Cai'er had never expressed her disgust and disappointment to him so bluntly before, what she said today was undoubtedly the biggest blow and negation to him.

But what can he do?His elder sister was strong since childhood, and even his father insisted on passing on the position of city lord to her.And I have always been suppressed by her, and I have no chance to stand out, unless...Luo Ji suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, unless she died...

After the sound of things being smashed came from the main hall, Huanhong saw Ziqin come out of the hall in despair.

"Hey, don't go." Huan Hong forcibly held Zi Qin outside the hall, "Miss has been looking for you these days, what's the matter?"

Ziqin just reported some news about Shen Shuangzhao to her according to Lu Qingrong's instructions, but every time Lu Qingrong either asked him to get out with a sullen face, or threw things and lost his temper, which made him very afraid to see Lu Qingrong every time.

"It's nothing, I'm just assigned to do something, I'll make a routine report to her." Ziqin prevaricates.

Huan Hong obviously didn't believe it, and said, "Tell me honestly, is it related to Shen Shuangzhao?"

Ziqin looked at her: "About these, Huanhong, you can directly ask the young master."

Huanhong only thought that he was acquiescing, and after thinking about it, he still entered the main hall.There were broken pieces of things all over the hall, she sighed and asked: "I don't even remember, I have forgotten, miss, will you still love her?"

Lu Qingrong turned her back to her, and it took a long time to answer: "Before I remembered it, she was making out with others in private, which is a betrayal of me, and it's not fair to me."

"So you still like her." Huan Hong smiled wryly, looking very powerless.

"No." Lu Qingrong denied stubbornly, "What I care about is that I was deprived of my rights by Luo Qi for four years, and it's time to come back. As for whether I love Shen Shuangzhao or whether I choose to be with her, that's another matter. "The person who belongs to her, not to mention the relationship between the two of them, in short, she will never allow others to take Shen Shuangzhao away without her knowledge.

Huanhong asked: "Are you going to find her?"

Lu Qingrong turned around, her eyes were firm: "Yes." She didn't like Luo Qibeng's "little lover" with whom she had a passionate love.Also, for some unknown reason, Shen Shuangzhao, a bastard, was so obedient to Luo Qi.It seems that he has forgotten himself these days.

"Miss, you can't beat Luo Qi, otherwise such a thing would not have happened four years ago."

"Really?" Lu Qingrong sneered, "Well, I will definitely kill Shen Shuangzhao before I die. Even if I take her to the grave, I don't want Luo Qi to..." Slaying love.
