Chapter 10 (Truth)
Shen Mushen had that dream again.
After Gu Chaochao disappeared in the last life, he had the same dream repeatedly for ten years. Although this was the first time in this life, but when he was in the blood-splattered Hou Mansion, he was immediately sure that he was in the dream again. Back to the day of the Slaughter Marquis Mansion.
"Where is Gu Chaochao?" he heard himself ask in the dream.
Li Yinyin, who was cornered by the corner, begged for mercy with a face of horror: "I don't know, I really don't know, I'm sorry I was wrong, I know I was wrong, you can bypass me..."
Although he had heard it countless times, he still As impatient as the first time she heard it, she raised the knife and dropped it, leaving a bone-deep scar on her face.
Li Yinyin screamed and rolled over while covering her face in pain. Bright red blood flowed from her fingers, making her even more ferocious and terrifying.
"Where is Gu Chaochao?" He asked the same thing.
Li Yinyin met his cold gaze, and finally determined that he would not let her go. The hatred in his eyes almost turned into substance: "You can't find her, right? Did she go away? I didn't expect it, the only one right Your good people don't want you anymore, no one will want you..."
He didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he put the blood-stained knife on her neck and repeated it a third time blankly: "Where is she? ?"
Before she finished speaking, the blade was embedded in her skin, and Li Yinyin was mad in pain -
"Do you think she treats you with sincerity? Do you think that there will be people in this world who are kind to you for no reason, and who will approach without purpose? "
Shen Mushen, are you also worthy?!" The
blade cut through her throat mercilessly, and Li Yinyin let out a groan. blocked.
The blood quickly dyed her clothes red, she stared at Shen Mushen, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth: "Do you know why she... approached you?"
"Because... she is mine, not close to you, How could you be willing to commit adultery with your stepmother..."
After speaking, he breathed.
There was a knock on the door, Shen Mushen opened his eyes, everything in the dream faded, and he was calmer than ever before.
"Second Young Master, Madam is here." The young servant A Fu said in a high voice, showing no respect for the master at all.
Shen Mu sat up deeply, and it took a long time to answer lightly.
The servant heard his promise, and then looked at Gu Chaochao with a smile: "Madam, Second Young Master, please come in."
Gu Chaochao nodded slightly, and when he walked to the door, he looked back at Hongchan who was following him: "I have a few words. If you want to talk to the second young master alone, you can just wait outside."
"Yes." Hong Chan didn't come forward anymore.
Gu Chaochao let out a sigh of relief, pushed the door open and entered, Hong Chan took the initiative to close the door from the outside.
With the sound of the door closing, Gu Chaochao's eyes swept to the bedside. When he saw that Shen Mushen was only wearing underwear, his expression suddenly became a little subtle: "Have you not woken up yet?"
"Just woken up." Shen Mushen corrected her.
Gu Chaochao scolded: "Then I'll go out first, you can wash up before calling me."
"No need." Shen Mushen said, got up and started to unbutton his clothes.
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his back to avoid suspicion.
Hearing the rustling sound behind her, she only felt uncomfortable, cleared her throat and said, "I'm here today because I have something to discuss with you." No emotion at all.
Gu Chaochao couldn't wait for his response, so she couldn't help but look back, but what caught her eye was her abs with distinct gullies. She was startled, and quickly turned her head back: "I-I didn't mean to, sorry..."
Behind her People are silent.
Gu Chaochao was extremely embarrassed, so he could only bite the bullet and forcefully continued the topic just now: "...It's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask you, what did you think about your engagement with Li Yinyin?"
After he finished speaking, he continued without waiting for him to answer, "I think so, although we are not afraid of them, we have always been little devils, anyway, you don't like her, and you don't expect her Li family to do anything to you in the future. To help, it is better to break off the marriage directly, to fulfill her and Shen Liu, and treat it as a problem to solve."
"Of course, neither Li Yinyin nor Shen Liu are good people, and the people in Manhou Mansion are all snobbish people. After breaking the marriage contract, you may not feel better, so it is best to move out of the Hou Mansion. I believe that with your ability, you can leave the Hou Mansion. There will definitely be something bigger, and more importantly..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a heat approaching behind her, so she turned back subconsciously, who would have almost slammed into Shen Mushen's chest.
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted—
why is this person still wearing obscene clothes!
It was said to be wearing, but the buttons were all unbuttoned, and the chest and abdominal muscles were unobstructed, and the hot hormones were scattered, so hot that Gu Chaochao's face began to steam.
"...What are you doing so close?" She took two steps back with flickering eyes.
Shen Mu looked at her expressionlessly, she took two steps back, and he took two steps: "Do you want me to break the engagement?"
"This is for your own good." Gu Chaochao met his gaze after speaking, unable to bear Hold back.
"For my own good." Shen Mu repeated inexplicably.
Gu Chaochao instinctively felt the danger, and continued to retreat as he approached step by step, she was about to continue to persuade, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Mushen speak -
"In what capacity did you ask me to break off the marriage, Marquis Yongchang. The house's mistress, Li Yinyin's cousin, or..." Shen Mushen walked towards her step by step, until her back was against the pillar, and there was no way to go back, he stopped in front of her, "My A woman?"
Gu Chaochao choked all the words of persuasion in his throat, but just looked at him in shock.
Shen Mushen's eyes were dark: "Answer me."
Gu Chaochao moved his lips, and after a while he said with difficulty: "I...I don't understand what you mean."
Shen Mushen stared at her face, but in his mind was a dream Li Yinyin's voice, the tyrannical emotions in her heart are like the sea before the storm, and what is brewing in the deep calm is the endless danger.
After a long time, his eyebrows and eyes were suddenly gentle: "You understand."
With that, he lifted her jaw, and his fingertips were so hot that he almost scalded her.
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, then watched his face expand infinitely in front of her eyes. Seeing that she could sense his breath, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted: "Li Yinyin came to me yesterday!
" stop.
Gu Chaochao froze for a while, and then quietly opened his eyes. After seeing that his lips were only a finger away from him, he closed his eyes again like a quail.
After a long time, he let go of her.
Gu Chaochao's feet softened, and he did not squat down by relying on the pillars behind him.
She opened her eyes carefully, Shen Mushen had already sat down at the table, more than ten steps away from her, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at her from a distance, as if trying to find something from her face.
Gu Chaochao laughed dryly and took the initiative to help him find an excuse for his behavior just now: "You were just too angry just now, right?"
Shen Mushen was silent.
Gu Chaochao forcibly calmed down, frowned and told what happened last night, and sighed: "Li Yinyin's coming back this time is bound to happen, if you don't agree to break off the marriage peacefully this time, she's probably going to have trouble again. Think of something..."
The lingering thoughts of that day came to her mind, and she lost her voice in an instant, then looked at Shen Mushen, still staring at herself.
Gu Chaochao silently shrank towards the pillar, pretending not to notice his overly focused gaze, "I know you're not afraid of them, but there's really no need to keep stirring in the mud of Hou's mansion for a moment, and leave here, The pros outweigh the cons."
This was what she thought about last night, the source of Shen Mushen's suffering in life is this mansion, as long as you leave, you can avoid most of the suffering.
What's more, he is now in contact with the third prince, and he can do a lot without going to the border. When the third prince ascends the throne three years later, and then successfully marry the heroine, with the help of the heroine's family, he will become the most powerful in the court. 's chief minister.
At that time, she will retire, and Shen Mushen will also get everything she deserves. It is not a matter of words to clean up a small mansion.
Gu Chaochao let out a sigh of relief, thinking about how to convince Shen Mushen to be obedient. When he was thinking seriously, he suddenly heard him ask: "I waited for you at Wangyuan Pavilion outside the city for three days, why didn't you come?"
Gu Chao Zhao Yi was stunned.
"I waited for you for three days, and searched for you for three days, but I couldn't find any trace of you," Shen Mu looked at her firmly, "Where have you been?"
Gu Chaochao didn't expect him to mention it at this time. In the past, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to answer.
"Li Yinyin said that you left me on purpose," Shen Mushen didn't seem to care about her answer, so she didn't give her too much time, so she spoke again, "She also said, you are her person, you approach me , treat me well, it's all to make me lose my reputation and leave the capital."
Gu Chaochao's eyes widened suddenly, and after meeting his cold gaze, many things that had not been understood before suddenly became clear at this moment: "No wonder you have changed in this life. It's so big because you believed her words?"
Her words were full of sadness, but she didn't feel nervous and guilty.
Shen Mu looked at her deeply for a long time, the tyranny in her heart seemed to be gradually healed.
"I don't want to believe it." Shen Mushen replied.
Gu Chaochao snorted softly, leaned against the pillar and looked at him: "I don't want to believe it, but I still believe it, right?" Otherwise, he would have asked her directly at the beginning, instead of confessing until today.
Shen Mu was silent, and tapped the table with her fingertips.
Gu Chaochao's eyes fell on his slender fingers, and his heart was inexplicably aggrieved: "I'm so good to you, how can you trust others."
She just complained in a low voice, but unfortunately the voice was too soft, it was like an intimate complaint .
Also like coquettish.
Shen Mu's throat twitched, and after a while, he slowly said, "I said it, I don't want to believe it, but I killed all those people, and I can't find a second answer."
In fact, it doesn't matter what the answer is. Even if he kept trying in the next life, he never thought of having a second ending with her, but in the ten years after she disappeared in the last life, the answer has become his obsession. Only when you know the truth can you be unreserved again.
For example, a quarter of an hour ago, when she confessed that Li Yinyin had looked for her, he was sure that the words before Li Yinyin's death in the previous life were all nonsense. Shen Mushen heard the words, and his expression softened slightly: "I thought about it, maybe you just died." Gu Chaochao: "..." Is it a good thing to co-author her death?
Shen Mushen's sudden silence made Gu Chaochao faintly uneasy. She suddenly remembered the blood in the Hou Mansion that she had briefly seen when she came back, and she had a headache for a while: "Even if you can't find a second answer, just rely on our strong friendship, you should think about the good side."
