"So what?"

Xu Shu's voice exuded a calm helplessness.

"Do you know, on the day Prince Long'an was buried, the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to want my life!"

"I know..." Zhou Jin's voice sank. He had long guessed that such a thing might happen, so he asked Zhuang Li to stay. But what he didn't expect was that Empress Dowager Fu would attack Xu Shu so quickly. As soon as he left Beijing, Empress Dowager Fu was impatient to take Xu Shu's life. Fortunately, Xu Shu was calm in the face of danger, and Zhuang Li appeared in time again, otherwise Xu Shu would have probably...

"I'm back, this will never happen again!"

Xu Shu shook her head gently, "This kind of thing may not happen again, but something else will happen. You will never be able to stop the Queen Mother's idea! The Queen Mother knew that if I died directly at her hands, you would have a rift with her, so she wanted to leverage someone else's hand. The last time she used Mr. Xu Qi's life as a threat, and the next time? What about next time? Who will be the person who will be used by the Queen Mother to coerce me next? In order to get rid of me, the Queen Mother will do anything to do! "

"I can't change the Queen Mother's idea, but I will do everything to protect you and prevent Queen Mother from hurting you! You must believe me, what you said, you believe me!"

Whether it was what Zhou Jin said or his expression, they were all full of sincerity, but it was precisely this sincerity that made Xu Shu breathless.

"What would you choose if one day the Queen Mother forced me to die with her life?"

"There won't be such a day!" Zhou Jin said firmly. As long as he is there, there won't be such a day!

"But what if I have to choose?" Xu Shu pressed with a tight end.

Zhou Jin finally couldn't stand it anymore. Xu Shu had always been rational and made him feel that he lacked some interest, but Xu Shu was unable to resist it after he got into trouble.

"If I said I chose you, would you believe it?"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, "Because you know, even if you choose me, the Empress Dowager will not really seek death!" Xu Shu was not moved by Zhou Jin's words, but instead ruthlessly exposed the fundamental reason why Zhou Jin made such a choice.

Zhou Jin sighed softly, "Yes! But I believe that such a thing will not happen! Okay, Xu Shu, I'm going to come back. This is a thing worth being happy. Don't talk about these unhappy things anymore! In the past, we were not defeated by any difficulties, and there will be no trouble that will stump us in the future!"

us……

It's us again...

Xu Shu only felt that this word made her particularly uneasy, and she couldn't help but break away from Zhou Jin, "I'm going to sleep!"

"Okay!" Zhou Jin touched Xu Shu's face, "Don't go to the street to join in the fun tomorrow, stay at home! I will be busy these days, so I'll see you when I have time!"

Xu Shu didn't say anything, leaving a back for Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu's back and felt a little sad, sad for the heartbreaking truth he realized. Xu Shu really wanted to get along with him!

"I'm leaving!"

Zhou Jin finally left, but Xu Shu couldn't calm down for a long time. Zhou Jin clearly knew what she meant, but why did she just not want to let her go?

Xu Shu lifted the quilt irritably and saw the jade pendant under the pillow. It was the last time Zhou Jin fell to her. Today she originally planned to return it to Zhou Jin, but she actually forgot it. It seems that she has to see Zhou Jin again.

Goodbye Zhou Jin...

Xu Shu was so disgusted with this feeling of being connected, and felt tired from the bottom of her heart!

Zhou Jin had just left the alley where Zheng Mansion was, and a stone flew towards him. Zhou Jin sideways and avoids it. He looked up and saw Zhuang Li sitting on the roof with a few stones in his hand. Zhou Jin jumped onto the roof and fell next to Zhuang Li, "What are you doing here!"

"Waiting for you!" Zhuang Li patted the seat next to him, "Sit down!"

Zhou Jin sat down.

Zhuang Li took a jar of wine from the side, "I think you need this! I'll relieve my worries after getting drunk!"

Zhou Jin said lightly, "I never use wine to relieve my sorrows!"

Zhuang Li shrugged, put down the wine jar, and raised his chin to the Zheng family behind him, "How is it?"

"Since you are waiting here, you still ask me how it is? Are you here to make a joke?" Zhou Jin looked at Zhuang Li with some dissatisfaction.

"How dare I!" Zhuang Li laughed dryly, "But you have been there for so long before you come back, and it seems that things are not going to be a turnaround!"

"What do you know?" Zhou Jin hurriedly focused on Zhuang Li's mind when he realized that there was something in his words.

"Xu Shu has killed someone, do you know?" Zhuang Li suddenly said something that was not related to what Zhou Jin cares about.

Zhou Jin nodded, "She said it!" In Pingliang, Xu Shu told him in person, but at that time he once thought that Xu Shu lied to him.

"Do you know how old she was when she first killed someone? Ten years old! She was ten years old that year, and I knew her that year! I was chased by someone and accidentally involved her. Because she was just a blind child, the other party didn't pay attention to her! But I gradually became outnumbered. When I fought until there was only one person left, I finally couldn't hold on and fell down. Just when I thought I was about to die, the other party suddenly fell down. Then I looked up and saw Xu Shu, and saw her expressionless look. She was still holding a knife she picked up from somewhere. She used this knife to kill the last person who chased me and saved me!"

"She is saving you and herself. If you die, she will not be able to survive!"

Zhuang Li nodded, "You are right! Xu Shu told me the same way at that time! But have you ever thought about what made a ten-year-old child stab a living person with a knife without changing his face?"

Looking at Zhou Jin's puzzled expression, Zhuang Li said word by word, "Because she wants to live, she doesn't want to die! She had experienced life and death several times before this. She yearned for a better life than anyone else, so whoever wants her life will take the lead and take the other person's life!"

Zhou Jin nodded silently. This is indeed Xu Shu's style of conduct. If someone does not offend me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me, he will be punished even if he is far away!

"But this time, the empress dowager wanted to kill her, but she let her go. It's not because the empress dowager's status is noble, she dared not take action. She is merciless for those who are more noble than the empress dowager. How could she care about an empress dowager? She did this because of you! She knew that the empress dowager was your mother, so she showed mercy. Xu Shu actually cared about you in her heart, even if she didn't admit it!"

"I know!"
