Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 128 You are so kind

"I'm pretending? I'm pretending?"

Shen Li couldn't help but laugh.

"What about you? Is the Han Yunning you show to others the real you?"

"In this Jiangdu City, how many people can really do whatever they want? At least at that time, I never thought of snatching your fiancée away!"

Her eyes widened with anger, she said angrily,

"But what about you? You set up a trap to kill me at the palace banquet, and you also ordered Liang Yangrong to kill my maid. Do you know how she died?"

Han Yunning sneered, his laughter full of disdain and ridicule.

"She is just a maid, a tiny ant. She suffers when she is alive, and only death can bring her relief. I will help her transcend as soon as possible. She should be grateful for my kindness!"

At this moment, Shen Li felt extremely powerless and was speechless.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying hard to control the anger in her heart.

However, Han Yunning continued to sarcastically say without any scruples: "Why, you came to settle accounts with me for a maid? This is really ridiculous!"

Shen Li suddenly laughed slowly. She had nothing to say to Han Yunning.

Whether right or wrong.

The old grudge between them is like a tangled mess that cannot be cut or sorted out.

It won't end well after all.

Liang Yangrong put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. Shen Li glanced at him deeply, then turned and left.

In this Jiangdu city, in the entire Southern Wu Dynasty.

Everyone has their own story, and everyone is trying hard to be a pretender.

I dare not laugh truly, nor cry freely.

Is this also a mistake?

The moon is bright and the night wind is gentle.

She thought back to her childhood days in Changzhou.

She lost her biological mother when she was young, and her father and brother have always held her in their hands and treated her as a treasure.

She was very naughty. Her uncle's medicinal garden in the east and her aunt's dyeing workshop in the west had all been harmed by her.

Her father had to apologize to the neighbors every few days, and he would inevitably scold her after bringing her back home.

Whenever this happened, she would squeeze her eyelids hard to squeeze out a few tears.

When I couldn't cry anymore, I pinched my own hands secretly.

Seeing this, brother Jiang Cheng spread her fingers apart one by one, laughing and joking,

"Our Ah-man must have been accidentally reborn into the wrong family. He's so tough, he should be a younger brother!"

The father still had a hint of anger on his face. He couldn't bear to scold her, so he took out his anger on his son.

"She has become a street bully at such a young age, and you are still protecting her like this. If she gets into a disaster in the future, I wonder how you will protect her!"

Jiang Cheng rubbed the back of her hand, which was red from pinching, and said nonchalantly,

"Father, don't bluff me. How could a little girl get into such a big trouble? If that day really comes, I, as her elder brother, will just take the responsibility for her."

"Okay, your father can't control you anymore!"

Jiang Minzhi was too lazy to care anymore and left in displeasure.

She blinked and touched her brother's cheek, "Brother, what is the catastrophe?"

Jiang Cheng pinched her soft nose and said, "A catastrophe that will bring down the heavens is like knocking the heavens down."

She seemed to understand, "Then can my brother knock the sky down?"

Jiang Cheng hugged her and laughed, "Ah Man, are you still dreaming? Brother can't do that."

She also started giggling, and her laughter drifted far away in the wind.

But who can always be as innocent as when they were young?

As the wheel of time rolls forward relentlessly, we will inevitably be hurt, feel tired, and become doubtful of the world.

In the process of growing up, we gradually lose the innocence of our youth.

When you start learning to protect yourself, you also learn to put on a mask of disguise.

It was late at night, the moonlight shone on her face, and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and confusion.

Someone behind her gently embraced her.

She knew it was Shen Beiqi.

"What are you thinking about?"

He asked softly, resting his chin on her shoulder.

She shook her head and said nothing.

His large palm stroked her cheek, and his fingertips paused slightly when they felt a hint of moisture.

He turned her over and wiped away the tears on her face bit by bit with his fingertips.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm crying?"

"Do you want to say it?"

Shen Li was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Shen Beiqi smiled and said, "Then I won't say anything. It's up to you."

"Hengzhi...Shen Hengzhi..."

This was the first time she called him by his name.

His eyes lit up slightly and he chuckled softly, "Hmm?"

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you like me?"

"of course."

He answered simply.

"Do you like me now?"

"I like you in the past, you in the present, and you in the future."

"I mean..."

Shen Li pursed her lips gently, "If I were a person with vicious means and a heart of a snake, would you still like me?"

If you knew what I did, would you be shocked?

If I tear off this clean and pure white disguise, will you still like me?

Shen Beiqi knew what she wanted to ask.

He knew better than Shen Li what happened tonight.

To be on the safe side, he ordered Yue Yang to light aphrodisiac incense in the tent long before Liang Yangrong entered.

Only when both men and women are infatuated with each other can she achieve the effect she wants.

She was afraid, afraid that he would know the dark side of her heart, afraid that he would look at her strangely because of it.

He took her hand, squeezed it gently, and said softly,

"Ari, everything in the world has two sides, and humans are no exception. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has their own kindness and evil."

"We cannot simply judge whether a person is a good person or a bad person based on his appearance or behavior, but should analyze his heart and the motivation behind his behavior."

Shen Li listened quietly and raised her eyelids to look at him.

Under the moonlight, the young man was incredibly beautiful, his sparkling peach blossom eyes were as bright as stars and like dewdrops sparkling in the morning light, crystal clear and sparkling.

"For example, if someone holds a knife and intends to kill someone, but the killer is killed instead, this is not considered evil, it can only be considered as self-preservation and survival."

He paused, and then continued, "For example, if someone did evil first, and you and I sought revenge later, this is not evil, it can only be regarded as repaying evil with good, and God will repay good."

His lips slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"So, if our little A-li used cruel means on someone, there must be a reason, right?"

Shen Li's heart moved and she took the initiative to hug him.

"It's so kind of you."

It would be better if you could have some shame and not tease her all the time.
