Although Shen Mingshu's expression was relaxed, even with a faint smile, for a moment, Luo Xin faintly felt a little uneasy.

The purpose of apologizing has been achieved, Yue Yunlou didn't stay any longer, nodded to Shen Mingshu and left first.

Shen Mingshu walked over slowly, taking a slower pace than usual, in order to gain a little more time to sort out the thoughts in her heart. At that moment just now, she felt such a sense of fear in her heart, as if she was hanging on the edge of a cliff. The poor man who was pulling a withered vine, watching the vine break and finally fell into the cliff, felt more relaxed than the fear he endured during the process.

Walking from one end of the corridor to the other, Shen Mingshu finally walked in front of Luo Xin, and asked softly, "Let's go, dinner should be ready."

"Well," Luo Xin nodded, with a well-behaved appearance as usual, the light pink on her cheeks has not faded, soft and lovable.

Shen Mingshu looked at her, the corners of his lips curled up, and he walked forward.

The dinner was ready, Luo Xin and Shen Mingshu sat at the table, the ease and comfort they had at Zhitong Temple seemed to have disappeared, no one spoke at the table, only the sound of chopsticks could be heard.

Luo Xin glanced at Shen Mingshu with some anxiety, wondering if her sister was worried about those two people in the firewood room. The two of them had no appetite for this meal, so they put down their chopsticks after eating in a hurry, and asked the maids to clean up .

Waiter Lan Yin stood aside, watching the atmosphere of these two people, feeling a little worried in her heart, looking at Madam's appearance, she obviously didn't notice it, I'm afraid there would be a misunderstanding if she didn't explain.

She wanted to find an opportunity to remind Luo Xin, but Shen Mingshu didn't give her this opportunity, and found an excuse to retreat these maids, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Luo Xin glanced at the closed door, then at Shen Mingshu across the round table, moved her body a little uneasy, only Shen Mingshu was in her clear eyes.

Shen Mingshu put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers, and had complicated emotions in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Luo Xin, do you still remember the half jade pendant you gave me when you came to Yangzhou?"

Shen Mingshu seldom called Luo Xin by name, and more often it was Xin'er. Luo Xin, who was already a little uneasy, widened her eyes when she heard this address, staring at Shen Mingshu closely with panic in her eyes, and nodded. Nodded, hummed lightly.

Shen Mingshu was stabbed by her appearance, lowered his eyes, and then looked at Luo Xin again. Some words might be uncomfortable for both of them, but these words must be said.

"I know you have always regarded me as your sister and as a family member, and I have already regarded you... as a very important family member." Shen Mingshu paused for a moment, then relaxed a little, and said word by word: "I want to , These days, I did something wrong and gave you a bad misunderstanding."

Luo Xin shrank her body, clasped her hands on her lap, clenched tightly, and used her not-so-clever mind to understand the meaning of Shen Mingshu's words.

Shen Mingshu twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Do you know what Jin Ranqi is?"

Luo Xin nodded, and replied, "My sister and I have decided on Jin Ranqi."

Shen Mingshu nodded, then shook his head again, looked at Luo Xin softly, and said, "We have settled on Jin Ranqi, but the relationship between us is not. There are some things that we have never done before. I thought we would Sure, but maybe I'm wrong."

"What is it? I can do it!" Luo Xin said anxiously, staring at Shen Mingshu imploringly as if feeling a little beast that was about to be abandoned.

Shen Mingshu felt a slight throbbing pain in his heart, and maintained his calm voice as he said: "We can't do it, our relationship is very close, but your feelings for me are more like your sister, your parents, rather than... your lover. "

"No...it's not..." Luo Xin's eyes slowly turned red, and she defended in a low voice.

Shen Mingshu smiled at her comfortingly, but instead of hugging her and gently patting her back to comfort her as usual, he just said slowly: "Don't cry, it's actually nothing, from now on we are still a family." Man, if you fall in love with someone else, I can release the golden ranch with you, and I will prepare your dowry for you..."

She couldn't finish her words in the end, because the clear eyes of the person opposite were soaked with tears, and finally overflowed the eye sockets, slid down from the cheeks, and wiped the falling teardrops aggrievedly, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shen Mingshu's fingers on the table were intertwined, and the knuckles turned white with force. After a while, she still couldn't help letting go of her hands, walked to Luo Xin, and slowly comforted her, "Don't cry gone."

Luo Xin sat on the chair, clutched Shen Mingshu's skirt tightly, buried her head in her abdomen, and cried quietly. She couldn't understand what her sister said, but she still knew that her sister didn't like her and didn't want her anymore. What did she do wrong? What she said to Mr. Yue made my sister unhappy?Or is she too playful and not good?Or maybe my sister just finally found out that she is really bad, so she doesn't want her anymore.

Luo Xin didn't want to let go of Shen Mingshu's hand, but why would she hold on to her sister?Slowly loosening her hands on the dress, Luo Xin said intermittently with a choked voice, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Shen Mingshu's pupils shrank, he raised his head slightly, and responded softly, "Well, don't cry."

Lan Yin led them to guard outside, not knowing what happened inside, when the door was pushed open by Shen Mingshu, Luo Xin sat with her back to the door with her head down, unable to see clearly, Lan Yin secretly looked at Shen Mingshu's body Seeing Shen Mingshu's lips pursed into a straight line, his heart skipped a beat.

Shen Mingshu's voice seemed to be muffled, a little hoarse, and he said, "Go in and take care of me, Qiu Nong, tidy up the room next door, put some of my frequently used things there first, and move the rest tomorrow."

Now the hearts of the maids guarding outside couldn't help but sink, Qiu Nong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she could only answer yes with her head bowed, and led a few little maids to the next room to tidy up in a hurry.

When Shen Mingshu walked to the door, his footsteps paused, but he didn't look back after all, and went into the next room.

Lan Yin hurried in, Luo Xin turned her head when she heard the footsteps, saw that it was Lan Yin, her eyes dimmed, she pulled the corners of her lips embarrassedly, and hurriedly raised her sleeve to wipe the tears on her face.

Lan Yin saw her weeping face clearly, stepped forward and said distressedly: "Ma'am, don't wipe it with your sleeve, I'll ask someone to pour some warm water, don't hurt your face."

Hearing this, Luo Xin stopped, nodded, and sat at the table blankly waiting.

Lan Yin looked at her pitiful appearance, then thought about Shen Mingshu's appearance just now, and felt anxious, but she couldn't bear to ask Luo Xin now, so she could only sigh in her heart, took a towel and wet it with hot water, and gave it to her. Luo Xin wiped her face and coaxed her to go to sleep first.

The news of the accident between the two masters quickly spread among the servants, so they could only serve them more carefully.

Shen Mingshu was lying on the bed, lying quietly, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. In his mind, he was always thinking about Luo Xin's crying face and the choked up sorry, and couldn't help but wonder if Luo Xin, who was separated by a wall, still I'm crying, will tomorrow be better?

After thinking in a daze for half the night, Shen Mingshu finally fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, Shen Mingshu woke up early under the action of the biological clock, and listened to the movement next door. Luo Xin didn't seem to wake up yet. After waiting for a while, Fang Call Qiu Nong and others to come in and serve.

"Last night... how did Lan Yin serve you?" Shen Mingshu took the towel, paused, and asked.

Qiu Nong hesitated to speak, lowered his eyes and said: "Lan Yin came back a bit late, I heard from her that she has already waited for Madam to sleep."

Shen Mingshu nodded, didn't say anything, went downstairs after washing up.

Across the wall, Luo Xin opened her eyes in a daze, wrapped in a quilt, and stuck to the wall, listening to the movement next door obsessively, when she heard the door closing and the sound of the stairs, she moved her body and buried herself in the quilt. , gently closed his eyes, turned his head and approached the pillow, holding the brocade pouch containing the half jade pendant in his hand.

The person who handed it over to Shen Li yesterday had already asked the ins and outs clearly, but last night when he heard that the master and his wife had quarreled, Shen Li didn't dare to go up to report to Shen Mingshu, and when he saw Shen Mingshu coming down alone the next day, his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that he was waiting, Shen Mingshu called him over to ask about the two people yesterday. What those people said was indeed in line with what she had guessed. Shen Mingshu nodded and said, "Since I have asked you all, let Let people put it back, they should know how to say it."

Shen Li bowed in response, and ordered someone to deal with it.

Shen Mingshu sat at the table and looked at the account books of this period of time, turning his hands slowly, paying attention to the sound of the stairs from time to time, stopped after a while, and told Qiu Nong: "Go upstairs and have a look. "

At this time in the past, Luo Xin had already woken up, so she couldn't help thinking too much, but she couldn't go up to see it herself, so she could only ask Qiu Nong to take a look.

Qiu Nong responded softly, and walked upstairs, thinking that the master is still thinking about his wife, but he doesn't know what happened yesterday.

Upstairs, Lan Yin was waiting outside the door. Seeing Qiu Nong, she nodded and said softly, "Why did you come up? Where is the master?"

Qiu Nong also lowered his voice, and said, "The master is watching the accounts below, and the lady is not up yet?"

Lan Yin shook her head and sighed softly, "Madam cried a little bit yesterday, she should sleep more, I don't know what's wrong."

Qiu Nong waited for a while, so he couldn't stay longer, so he had to go down to report. Shen Mingshu waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Luo Xin to come down.
