"Well," Zhao Ning nodded, "she pushed me to block the knife. Even if I didn't blame her, she wouldn't believe it. What's more, I won't blame her. This kind of person is destined not to be reused."
"I understand," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You are worried that if you release Zaichun, she will worry about the consequences and suspect that you are going to take action, so she may strike first and turn against you."
"She knows too much about me. I shouldn't be able to keep this kind of person."
"You can't bear to kill her, and you can't let her go, so you marry her to Gu Yi."
Zhao Ning faintly raised her lips: "I may have made a mistake. I didn't expect that Gu Yi may seem to be loyal and naive, but in fact he is a drunkard and a gambler. But thinking about it on the other hand, only this kind of person can control Zaichun."
Manager Chu brought a freshly dried warm and soft towel, and Yiqiu went to the door to get it. When she came back with the things in her hands, she heard this, and Yiqiu frowned slightly, unable to explain how she felt.
Zhao Ning took a new towel, gently wiped Xia Zhaoyi's hair, and said, "Ah Li, when you talk to me about this, do you want me to do something for Zai Chun?"
Yiqiu's eyes immediately looked at Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly and did not answer. Instead, she looked at Yiqiu: "Yiqiu, what do you want to say?"
"Ah?" Yiqiu was stunned.
Zhao Ning looked towards Yiqiu.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."
Yi Qiu glanced at Zhao Ning timidly: "I don't know what to say, but I just feel that Zai Chun is in such a miserable condition. Sometimes I can't bear it and want to help her."
"Then have you helped?" Zhao Ning asked.
Yiqiu shook her head hastily: "It's not really a help. I only sent medicine and food, but never money. She doesn't know it's me! She can't get involved with me!"
"I can't pester you," Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "You are afraid that she will pester you, but you are still willing to help her."
"Miss Ali, we, we are all women after all."
"Yiqiu is really kind-hearted." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Yiqiu's pretty face turned red and she didn't answer.
At this time, a gust of wind changed its direction and blew in from the leeward side.
Xia Zhaoyi looked out the window and saw heavy raindrops streaming in, soaking the soft brocade blanket by the window.
But only for this period, the rest of the wind still followed its original trajectory.
"Ah Li," Zhao Ning said, "you haven't replied to me yet. What do you want me to do when you mention Chun Chun?"
"No," Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at her, "I just mentioned it."
"Then what don't you want me to do?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly: "I just think that people like Gu Yi are too comfortable. No matter how much they earn or what their status is, as long as they can marry a daughter-in-law, they will be able to dominate."
Zhao Ning nodded: "What you said is true."
"It can be seen that those whose status is lower than theirs are their wives. Whether they are traffickers or beggars," Xia Zhaoyi said, turning his eyes back to the window, "I used to like peace and quiet, and I lived in the house all year round.
On the mountain, I have been living in seclusion in the world under the command of my master for these years, and I have seen many unfair things in the world. In fact, I have encountered and observed them before, but this time, the master asked me to compile them into a book and record them. I will look at them carefully.
, is riddled with holes, no matter in the prosperous times in the past or in today’s troubled times, in all the seemingly decent and stable places, people are being bullied and sacrificed.”
"Are you going to break the situation?"
"Master said no, we can just be human observers. As for breaking the situation, leave it to those who can sustain the ambition to break the situation."
Zhao Ning chuckled, took off the hairpin from Xia Zhaoyi's hair, and gently combed it with a comb.
"Actually, you can break it," Zhao Ning said, "but it will be very tiring. You are a crane of idle clouds. You were born in the world and are free and easy. I really don't want to see you enter this turbid world."
"So, it is precisely because there are so many insensitive people like me that people like Master Zhu Xian appear to be so noble and great." Xia Zhaoyi said calmly.
Zhao Ning paused her fingers slightly and sighed softly: "Master Zhu, what a pity."
Another gust of wind reversed its direction and blew in in the opposite direction. This time more rain was brought in, making the soft brocade blanket even wetter.
Yiqiu said "Oh!" and walked towards the case: "Madam, you forgot to press the paperweight."
Several pieces of letter paper blew to the ground, and Yi Qiu picked them up and put them back to their original place. One of them was worse, and the ink on the paper was blurred.
"Madam," Yi Qiu took the letter and looked at Zhao Ning, "This is a letter from Mr. Liang."
Zhao Ning paused slightly and said, "That would be a bit troublesome."
She turned to look at Xia Zhaoyi: "It was written by Liang Jun to Shen Lie. He was afraid that the wording was inappropriate, so he wanted me to read it for him."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "It seems that he cares about Mr. Shen very much."
"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. If he likes Shen Lie, let's build a bridge for him." Zhao Ning's voice lowered as he spoke, "It's a pity for him."
"What a pity?" Xia Zhaoyi said, "Who is it a pity for?"
"This is Mr. Liang," Zhao Ning looked at the letter on the desk, "I even think it would be better for him to follow Nie Huimo than to follow Shen Lie."
"...Why?"
"Shen Lie is good at everything, but he has no ambition," Zhao Ning said softly, "He is too cold, aloof and arrogant, and has no ambition at all. Otherwise, with his skills, his current achievements will not be half as good as those of Nie Huimo."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded slightly.
She also felt this way, and it was inevitable that she felt a bit pity, but this was Shen Lie's choice and she had no way to interfere.
Xia Zhaoyi remembered that when she was by the river that evening, Shen Lie had asked her if she liked ambition.
She replied at that time that it depends on whether she is aggressive or arrogant.
In fact, how do you define the word ambition?
Successful kings and defeated bandits can be as small as seeking money or as large as seeking the world. Those who can succeed are called ambitious, and those who cannot succeed are called ambitious and covetous.
What is needed is actually the strength to carry this ambition, but some people, when they have the strength, are not lucky enough, and end up tragically ending up with their heads in a different place, and their families destroyed.
Everything is unknown, no one can determine the rise and fall, and the final judgment of right and wrong lies in the mouths of others and future generations.
"I also want to write a letter to Mr. Shen," Xia Zhaoyi said, "It's been almost two months since I said goodbye to him."
Zhao Ning smiled: "Then write. If he can receive your letter, he will be very happy."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ning's voice became lower: "Actually, I don't think Shen Lie will get what he wants."
"What are you referring to?"
"Although he wants to escape from the world in peace, during the years he has been in the Guo family, including the escape of Guang Zhuoji's family, he has only had more troubles, which are not things he can stay away from if he wants to stay away from the world. And, the people around you Wang Fengnian took a few glances at Lao Tong and Zhi Changle before falling in love with him. How could the rivals from all walks of life stand aside for such a beautiful jade like Shen Langjun? Ah Li, the sword will not be covered with dust, because heaven and earth do not allow it. For many people, if a sharp sword is not for their own use, then get rid of it."
