She called herself sister, but she was clearly the same age as Jiang Lianzhi and older than Shen Yu.

The wind and sand in the place of exile did not make her grow old, and her cheeks were rosy. Thinking about it, even in exile, Jiang Lianzhi protected her and she did not suffer much.

There was a smile on the woman's lips: "Sister, I am Lin Qingli. I wonder if sister has heard of me?"

Shen Yu nodded and walked straight forward along the corridor. She asked politely, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Lin?"

Lin Qingli stepped up to follow, "I know my sister has some objections to Lian Zhi's acceptance of me, but this is already the biggest concession I have ever made."

"You? Give in?" Shen Yu smiled slightly, her tone slightly mocking.

She sneered in her heart, look, this is the gentle Lin Qingli that Jiang Lianzhi said, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.

"Yes," Lin Qingli raised her chin slightly, with a bit of arrogance on her face, "My father died unjustly, and now his injustice has been revealed. In order to appease the Lin family, His Majesty originally planned to grant a marriage. You should know that since it is a marriage, you will not Possibly a concubine.”

Shen Yu smiled as usual, "Jiang Lianzhi already has a wife. You should also know that since the marriage is a gift, it is impossible to give it to Jiang Lianzhi."

Lin Qingli's face suddenly turned pale. Seeing Shen Yu walking further and further away, she jogged a few steps to follow.

"Your father and brother buried 100,000 Zhou soldiers at Yanliang Pass. Do you know that you are lucky to be alive? Marrying Lianzhi will only drag him down and make him a laughing stock in the court."

Shen Yu said sternly: "The matter between my father and brother has not yet been decided. Your Majesty didn't say anything. It's not your turn to point fingers here!"

She had no hostility toward Lin Qingli at all. They both lost a close relative. She could feel Lin Qingli's pain, but when it came to her father and brother, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Her steps were so long that Lin Qingli almost had to trot to catch up with her, "That's His Majesty's benevolence, just to save some face for your father and brother. The guilty minister is the guilty minister! Their two lives are not enough to repay my 100,000 soldiers. "

Shen Yu suddenly stopped and turned her head slowly. Lin Qingli's sharp gaze made Lin Qingli's breath tighten and she unconsciously took a small step back.

He whispered: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Yu looked at her coldly. As she approached step by step, Lin Qingli was forced to retreat by her aura.

how come?

She had clearly heard from the servants in the mansion that Madam Jiang was the kindest. She didn't believe it at first, but she had secretly seen Shen Yu a few times in the past few days. She was indeed kind to others, and she even turned a deaf ear to her servants gossiping behind her back.

Lin Qingli always thought that she was weak and could be bullied, but now her eyes seemed to be able to eat people alive?

"You, why are you looking at me with such eyes," Lin Qingli stammered: "Everyone in Shengjing knows that your father came in unexpectedly, and there were rumors that your father colluded with the Huns, but he was... …”

Snapped--

With a crisp sound, Lin Qingli turned her head.

"Miss!" "Miss!"

Two exclamations sounded from the maid's mouth at the same time.

Lin Qingli didn't expect it. She covered her face and looked at Shen Yu in disbelief. She knew that she grew up in the military and was not like ordinary women, but she didn't expect that she would take action directly.

"How dare you hit..."

Shen Yu grabbed her neck and pressed it against the wall, choking the rest of her words in her throat.

Shen Yu looked at her coldly, "Am I too forbearing, so all of you have forgotten who I am?"

"I am the daughter of General Shen Zhong'an of the Hussars, and the sister of General Shen Zhao of Yunhui."

"I have been on the battlefield, killed enemies, and cut off the heads of Huns."

"If I hear you slander my father and brother again, I will pull out your tongue, so you'd better keep your mouth shut!"

With every word she spoke, the fear in Lin Qingli's eyes deepened.

She had been pinched so much that she could not speak, her cheeks were red, and the two maids were anxious beside her but did not dare to step forward.

Shen Yu suddenly let go of her and glanced down at Lin Qingli, who was holding her neck and panting violently.

"You can go to Jiang Lianzhi and file a complaint. Not to mention that you haven't entered the door yet. Even if you have entered the door, it is only natural for the mistress of the house to teach her concubine a lesson."

She shook her sleeves and moved forward. She couldn't use her right hand to exert any strength. Just turning like this made her hand under the cuff tremble slightly.

It has been three years, and there has never been a moment when I felt so comfortable being myself.

The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger again.

Under the waterside pavilion corridor, the wind carried snow particles swirling on the frozen lake.

Lin Qingli covered her neck and stared at Shen Yu's back, the hatred in her eyes almost bursting out.

Why? It was clearly her own position, but this woman had occupied the magpie's nest, and now she dared to show off her power in front of her with the title of mistress.

There were rapid footsteps behind her, and before Shen Yu had time to look back, she felt a strong force knocking her out of the corridor.

The moment her body was knocked out, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab it. Her right hand came up empty, and her left hand seemed to have grabbed someone's arm.

The two of them tumbled out of the pavilion at the same time, hit the ice and slid for a distance before stopping.

Shen Yu was lying on her back on the ice. The violent impact just now made her shoulder blades hurt. The woman beside her was screaming in pain, and the two maids on the shore were calling Miss.

Lin Qingli turned over, got up and wanted to run to the shore.

As she moved, Shen Yu clearly heard the crackling sound of the ice beneath her, and the cracks spread out beneath her like cracked earth.

"do not move!"

Shen Yu only had time to shout out, and suddenly everything was empty beneath her body. Then a biting chill swept through her whole body. The cold and biting lake water penetrated her body like a sharp knife. When she opened her mouth, the lake water poured into her mouth and nose, making it impossible to breathe.

"Help, Miss Lin fell into the water!"

Shen Yu couldn't swim, so she wanted to grab a leverage point. As soon as she grabbed hold of the broken ice, she was kicked in the chest by Lin Qingli, who was thrashing about randomly.

Since her martial arts was abolished, she has been particularly afraid of the cold. Her clothes are heavy in winter, and she is also wrapped in a thick cloak. After absorbing water, her body becomes heavier and heavier.

She heard cries for help from the shore, but no one came for her.

She also heard the sound of the lake rolling, clamoring to drag her into the darkness.

She seemed to see Jiang Lianzhi running towards this side, jumping into the water and swimming towards this side.

She stretched out her hand towards him, but saw the hand that had tied her hair and drawn her eyebrows holding Lin Qingli who was fluttering next to her.

He didn't choose her...

Shen Yu watched desperately as the two figures gradually moved away, her hands still stretched forward.

The raging wind and snow seemed to have stopped, and cheers rang out from the shore.

She saw Jiang Lianzhi's panicked eyebrows when he looked at Lin Qingli, and also saw his indifference when he turned back to look at her.

She suddenly realized that maybe falling into the water was not an accident. If she died early, Lin Qingli could be righted. At this moment, she suddenly felt unwilling.

no! She couldn't let them get their wish!

But the powerless body gradually sank into darkness.
