Chapter 123 I Haven't Changed, I Have Seen You Clearly
The little boy shook his head: "Mr. Shen, I don't know either. I've been here the past two days."
Shen Liang said to the older one, "Please go back to the Shi family and tell your young lady secretly that I want to see her."
The older one went.
Shen Liang can get out of bed now, but he is still a little weak. He doesn't dare to go to the Shi family rashly because he has no idea what happened after Shi Murou returned home.
If Mr. Shi is angry, he might not be able to come back safely if he goes.
After waiting for a while, there was a noise outside, as if a woman was talking.
Shen Liang was delighted and walked out of the study quickly.
A gust of wind blew, and Shen Liang bent over, holding his chest and coughing, seeming a little weak.
He originally thought that seeing him like this, Shi Murou would feel distressed and would quickly come over to support him, calling him "darling" and "baby", showing her pity to the core.
But Shi Murou stopped two steps in front of him, and there was a faint aura of something wrong emanating from her.
It was as if there was an indescribable distance that distanced them apart.
Shen Liang felt a little uneasy, wondering if it wasn't Shi Murou who came. He raised his head, his eyes fell on the face of the person who came, and his heart couldn't help but chill.
Shi Murou's expression was cold and indifferent, and there was no warmth in her eyes. She pursed her lips and stared at him, as if she was re-examining him.
After not seeing her for a few days, her slightly chubby face had become thinner and more haggard, with faint dark circles under her eyes. But now she didn't look discouraged or depressed, as if something had settled down in her heart.
"Rou'er, you are finally here. Is it because your family is making things difficult for you? I have missed you so much these past two days." No matter what happened, Shen Liang poured out his heart first.
Normally, if Shi Murou heard such words, she would be moved to tears.
But now, she was completely indifferent, and even a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Shen Liang felt more and more uneasy, even a little scared.
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Shen Liang walked over and stretched out his arm.
"It's okay. Now you're here. Just tell me if you have any grievances."
Shi Murou frowned and took a step back.
"Shen Liang, don't come over here." Her tone was more indifferent than ever before, almost like an order.
Shen Liang's heart trembled and he stood still.
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you? I feel like you're very different today, like you've changed."
Shi Murou sneered and looked at Shen Liang with disappointment.
"It's not that I've changed, it's that I've seen you clearly."
"Shen Liang, you approached me with bad intentions from the very beginning. You know best what you are thinking. I came here today to tell you that from now on, we have no connection or relationship anymore."
It was as if a thunderbolt hit his head, and Shen Liang was stunned for a moment.
He murmured in disbelief: "Rou'er, what are you talking about? Don't you understand my feelings for you? What is my purpose? If I have any purpose, it is to make you my wife and love you for the rest of my life."
He spoke sincerely, but Shi Murou was completely unmoved.
"You wanted to devour my family's wealth and wipe out my family. This is what your family said. Marrying me is not enough, you also want to take a concubine. This is what your family asked the Qiao family to do. In order to achieve these goals quickly, you bought a poisonous snake from a snake catcher and bit yourself, pretending that you were saving me. If you can hurt yourself, how can you love me?"
Shen Liang felt an extreme coldness that crawled up from his feet to his head, freezing his bones and making him shiver uncontrollably.
Yes, these are his thoughts, his ideas, and what he does.
How did Shi Murou know it all of a sudden?
She was so stupid, so dumb, and had always listened to him obediently, but now every word and sentence she said exposed his intentions.
"That's not the case. You must have misunderstood me. Rouer, listen to me—" Shen Liang hurried to explain.
"That's enough." Shi Murou interrupted him.
"You should be thankful that you can stand here now."
"My grandfather, my parents already know what kind of person you are. They want to kill you, or at least cripple you. I stopped them because of our past friendship. I promised them that I would never have anything to do with you again and would never give you the chance to hurt me."
"You saved your life, you're safe and sound, nothing happened to you at all. This is the best possible outcome for your scheme against me and our Shi family."
"Shen Liang, I never want to see you again from now on. Take care of yourself."
After Shi Murou finished speaking, she turned and left without even a glance.
But when she walked out of the yard, her eyelashes trembled, and some crystal drops of water sparkled.
Thinking about the affectionate dependence they had shared over the past few months, her heart still felt sad, but she had seen through Shen Liang's character and she would never look back.
"Rou'er, Rou'er, don't leave. How do you want me to live? Cough cough cough——"
Shen Liang hurriedly chased after her and tripped at the door, coughing and begging, but Shi Murou did not stop. He could only watch her go farther and farther away until she turned the corner and disappeared.
Seeing this, the two children naturally followed suit.
Shen Liang stared at that direction intently. He felt that his long-planned plan was ruthlessly shattered just as he was getting closer and closer to his goal, as if it were a dream.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the door frame, and slowly got up from the ground.
Originally, he blocked the snake's attack for Shi Murou, and Shi Murou loved him more because of this, and the Shi family valued him because of this. This was the result that should have happened, and it was also the result he expected.
Why did it happen at this critical moment?
Something must have happened where he couldn't see.
Who wants to harm him? Who is deliberately torturing him?
If the Shen family went to the Qiao family and asked Qiao Xier to be his concubine, and was seen by the villagers, Shi Murou would hear the news.
The Shen family also boasted that he had found the only daughter of a wealthy family, and what he said was not careful and fell into Shi Murou's ears.
So how did Shi Murou know about the poisonous snake? That day, he was sure that he was the only one who went to find the snake catcher, and no one followed him.
Shen Liang just sat at the door, thinking for a long time, racking his brains but with no result.
He didn't realize that what made Shi Murou disheartened were the things said by the villagers.
But he insisted on thinking about the poisonous snake, thinking that he could find a breakthrough there.
Or perhaps he wanted to find the person hiding in the dark and have that person redeem everything for him and make up for his losses.
Those who passed by looked at Shen Liang in confusion, thinking that he was not normal.
A well-dressed young man looks so miserable and depressed.
Shen Liang yelled a few times and pounded the ground with his fists until his hands were bleeding. He suddenly stood up with anger in his eyes. He staggered out of the yard and stopped a carriage passing by on the street.
"Go to Datian Village."
