Huai Mo's eyes were as dark as ink, so dark that they couldn't be exaggerated. He looked deeply intoxicated. Shu Xunfen

Shenzui was surprised, "What's wrong with you? I didn't say it right?"

Huai Mo said calmly, "You're thinking too much. He didn't like you at first because he didn't like meeting strangers for many years. After that, he was kind to you, but he didn't want to refute my face."

Chen Zui nodded when he heard the words, but couldn't help but sigh, "But your master's pomp is really grand."

Huai Mo is not sure whether he is wet or not.

Shen Zui tilted his head and counted in detail, "The food is better than that in the palace, the expenses are more exquisite than that of the emperor, and even his face is younger than that of the emperor."

"That's enough!" Huai Mo suddenly interrupted in a deep voice.

Shen Zui was frightened by him, suddenly fell silent, blinked, and looked at him.

Seeing her appearance, Huai Mo closed his eyes, calmed down, and finally softened his voice, "Remember, don't compare him with the emperor."

"Why... why?"

Huai Mo looked at her sharply and warned, "Don't ask why, just remember it."

Shen Zui was frightened by his stern look for a moment, and nodded involuntarily, but his eyes were still wide open, looking innocent.

"Especially in front of him, you are not allowed to mention the emperor."

Shenzui nodded cautiously, "Okay."

Seeing this, Huai Mo suddenly sighed, "Forget it, in front of him, if you can't speak, then don't speak."

Shen Zui frowned, "Then what if he takes the initiative to talk to me?"

"Just nod or shake your head."

"This is rude. What should I do if he doesn't like me?"

Huai Mo was impatient and said coldly, "It's impossible for him to like you in the first place."

He said it so bluntly. Shen Zui was somewhat hurt. He blinked, lowered his head, and said calmly, "Okay."

Seeing her lowered head, Huai Mo felt suddenly weak and a little painful. He raised his hand to touch her head, but finally put it down. He put her on a stool aside, and he went out and asked someone to bring water.

After freshening up, he carried her to bed.

He held her in his arms, and the two hugged each other without speaking, but neither of them fell asleep.

Shen Zui could more or less know how he was feeling at the moment, but talking about his master just now had crossed a certain line. At this moment, she didn't know if she was qualified enough to say anything more, such as his mother... so she could only say it silently.

Leaning in his arms, not daring to move.

Huai Mo closed his eyes, with a pale look on his face, as if he had already fallen asleep. But after a long time, he suddenly said, "Wu Yu has a grudge against Emperor Wen."

Shen Zui suddenly opened his eyes, was he...explaining to her?

She stared at his chest blankly for a while before she realized, "Oh, that's it."

"Well, the hatred is as deep as the sea, and there is no mutual hatred. So, if you don't want to be hated by Wu Yu as well, don't mention the emperor and make him hate him."

In the darkness, his voice was particularly light, as if he was talking in his sleep, but her heart suddenly felt warm. She smiled and took the initiative to hug him, "Okay, I understand."

Huai Mo paused and then said, "After I go back, I will warn Shen Datong so that he will not dare to bother you again."

Shen Zui was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and blurted out, "So you know?"

He snorted coldly and said unnaturally, "Every move you make in the Prime Minister's Mansion can't escape my eyes, so you'd better not do anything sorry for me."

Shen Zui wrinkled his nose, "I'm always so suspicious. Since we have an agreement, then I will keep my word. If I do something that I'm sorry for you, it must be because you were sorry for me first."

In the darkness, Huai Mo made no sound.

Shen Zui thought for a while and asked, "What about my father's houses...?"

"It's mine now."

Shen Zui was shocked when he heard this, "What did you say?"

"I said, those four houses are mine now. Also, there are no houses left. I ordered them to be bulldozed long ago, and an inn is being built on that land."

Drunk and convulsing, I have nothing to say.

It turns out that the "bully" Shen Datong and Jin Yin talked about was Huai Mo, but not only did the two people not know it, they came to beg this "bully" for justice. Since he had robbed the land, what kind of justice could be done?

Shen Zui withdrew from Huai Mo's arms and looked up at his face.

He didn't look at her, his eyes fell in the distance, in the darkness, his outline was not so clear, but still charming. When he didn't speak, he really looked like a heavenly being, but once he spoke, he was probably so angry that you wanted to

Become a demon with him and fight to the death.

Shen Zui commented on him silently in her heart, and then... forget it, "Let's sleep."

"Don't ask me why?" He finally looked at her.

"Do I have to ask?"

Huai Mo looked at her without saying a word.

Shen Zui gritted his teeth secretly and pulled his lips, "Master, please tell me why, I really want to know!"

Huai Mo snorted softly, "Those four houses were originally stolen by Shen Datong from others, making them ill-gotten gains."

"...So, when the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, you go and grab Shen Datong's?"

"It's just a few pieces of land, I don't think much of it."

"Then why don't you just do something good and give back to those people who were robbed by Shen Datong?"

Huai Mo said coldly, "Because of those four people, three of them are dead, and the other one is now... missing."

"What about their families?"

"Their family members?" Huai Mo snorted coldly, "Those four people were so brave. I only took four lives and did not destroy their whole family. This was already a good deed. Since I spared their lives, they naturally have to live a good life.

Only when I look down and out can I feel better."

"..." Shen Zui had nothing to say, "Okay, how did those four people offend you?"

Huaimo lowered his head, looked at her deeply, slowly pressed her head on his chest, and said calmly, "They robbed me of my beloved things."

Shen Zui said, "...it turns out that this is life, retaliation for retaliation."

"Well, go to sleep."

Shen Zui talked to him and relaxed her nerves. When he said sleep, she yawned cooperatively. Huaimo gently stroked her head, and soon she fell asleep in his arms.

.

He slowly leaned into her ear and told her softly but firmly like a curse, "Shenzui, you are mine. Whoever robs me will die."

Shen Zui had just fallen asleep and was not yet asleep. He suddenly blew into her ear so sinisterly that she shivered in fright. Huaimo's lips did not leave her ear, and he only held her tight.

Then he patted her back gently with his palms, and after a while she felt calm again.

She never knew that she was kidnapped by four people at first. She only saw Chen Sheng, so she always thought that Chen Sheng had captured her alone. Later, she gritted her teeth and asked Xiaobai for help, hoping to teach Chen Sheng a lesson.

After receiving his instruction, she only mentioned that Chen Sheng was dead, and she naturally didn't mention it again.

Although Chen Sheng and the four deserved death, the whole thing was caused by Shen Datong. Naturally, he couldn't make it easy for Shen Datong. Didn't Shen Datong work hard to rob those four houses? Then he would let all his scheming go.

The basket is empty!

In the early morning of the next day, Huaimo took Shenzui with him and asked Shenzui to carry a big food box, and the two of them left the temple.

Shen Zui looked back and saw Wu Yu, so he couldn't help but remind Huai Mo, "Master hasn't come yet, should we wait for him?"

Huai Mo didn't look back, he just led her away and said calmly, "He's not going."

"Ah? Why?"

"He only comes here to stay for two days at this time every year. He never goes to worship in person. He doesn't ask too many questions!"

He suddenly became serious while explaining. She remembered his warning last night, nodded hurriedly, and quickened her pace to follow him.

The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour, and arrived at a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers. Surrounded by willows, there was a tomb under a clump of willow trees.

Huai Mo led her closer, and Zhen Zui saw a few words engraved on the tombstone - Li Susu's Tomb.

Shen Zui had many doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He only carefully placed the food box on the ground, took out the sacrifices, and placed them one by one in front of the tomb.

Huai Mo didn't say a word. From the moment he saw the tomb, he never looked away. His gaze was so deep that it made people's hearts beat. If we say he was plain, there was something heart-stopping in that plainness.

Perseverance and determination; if not dull, there was no expression on his face at all. The clouds were so light and the wind was so light that it seemed as if he was really just looking at a handful of loess. There was nothing else besides the loess, let alone his mother.

.

Huai Mo knelt down in front of the grave. Shen Zui arranged the sacrifices and then retreated to Huai Mo and knelt down with him.

Huaimo kowtowed, and Shenzui followed suit. After that, Huaimo didn't get up for a long time, but looked at the words on the tombstone with eyes as quiet as water. Shenzui didn't dare to disturb him and stayed with him silently.

Until there were footsteps behind me.

The footsteps were deliberately slowed down by the visitor, as if out of reverence for the deceased. However, after all, they were getting closer and closer, and Shen Zui could notice it.

Huai Mo seemed unaware and didn't even look back.

Shen Zui was confused and turned around to look. At this sight, his eyes widened and his body was almost unsteady.
