Chapter 261 The "Dead" Sister
"Since you have no money, why don't you go to the military camp to find him?" Shu He said lightly, as if testing something.
"My brother joined the army to save my life. I can't cause him any more trouble..."
Aguo lowered her head even more. She only hated herself for being so careless that she lost the one month's living expenses he left for her!
"If you don't look for him, how will you, a young girl, survive without any skills?"
Did she really not want to cause him any trouble?
"It's okay! I'm healthy now and can make money on my own. I, I can do it on my own..."
She looked confident, but felt a little guilty after she finished speaking.
Shu He sighed softly, "If you were really capable, you wouldn't have been kidnapped."
Fortunately, no one knew about this, otherwise, if it got out, this girl’s reputation would be ruined.
After hearing this, Aguo knelt down and kowtowed to Shu He.
"My wife, please, please don't tell my brother about this..." If he knew that she was kidnapped, she would no longer be worthy of him!
Even if nothing happened to her, once word got out, she would have no control over what others would think!
Aguo's crying attracted many pairs of eyes. They stared at Shu He and Aguo who was kowtowing on the ground, whispering to each other.
"What's going on there? Did the maid make a mistake and was punished by the young lady to kneel?"
"Why is the young lady dressed so exquisitely, but the maid is dressed in rags? Could it be that she is a wicked young lady who enjoys abusing others?"
"She doesn't look like a maid. She should be a farmer's girl, right? Judging from her clothes, she must be from a poor family."
"What's going on? Why are you making a little girl kowtow like this? In public, this is too embarrassing, isn't it?"
After hearing these words, Shu He was speechless.
Why do these people always jump to conclusions? It makes them look capable!
Ah Guo also heard those words, and his face became even more flustered. "Madam, I, I..."
She had no intention of embarrassing her, she was just afraid that the matter would be leaked, so she knelt down to beg her.
"Hurry up and get up! I won't tell anyone about what happened today."
Shu He seemed a little tired.
It would be fine if this girl really did it on purpose, but the key point is that she could see that she didn't do it on purpose.
Aguo didn't dare to delay, and quickly stood up, standing aside with his head down, not daring to speak or make any unnecessary movements.
"Am I scary? Why are you so scared when you see me?"
Shu He was puzzled. Even if she had never smiled at her, it shouldn't make her feel so scared, right?
As for?
Aguo glanced at her secretly and whispered, "You, the person next to you is the princess..."
How could she not be scared when the princess became her follower?
Shu He was speechless. It turned out that she was afraid of Baili Rushu.
Well, a child from an ordinary family, how could he have ever seen someone of such noble status? It was normal to be frightened.
"You recognized me earlier, didn't you? Why did you deliberately avoid me?"
When you are in a place where you have no relatives and suddenly meet someone you have met once, shouldn’t you at least say hello?
Why are you still avoiding it?
Seeing that she seemed to have misunderstood something, Ah Guo explained, "I did associate you with the woman from that day, but you've changed so much that I can't confirm it."
The last time I saw her, she had a sallow complexion, looked gloomy, and was dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She was completely different from the exquisite girl she is now.
Shu He was so exquisite that Aguo felt that looking at her for even a second longer would be an offense to her, so he avoided her gaze.
Shu He touched his face. It had only been a few days. Was there such a big change?
Never mind. These are not the point.
"Please sit down. I have something to ask you."
Aguo was hesitant and didn't dare to sit down in front of her.
Seeing this, Shu He said again, "Please sit down. I'm not a princess. What are you afraid of me doing?"
Seeing her finally sit down, Shu He spoke hesitantly.
"Before, I met your brother once at the defense camp, and he accidentally mentioned to me that you are not his biological sister. Can you tell me what happened?"
In fact, Shu He really didn't want to care about Shu Yuanqing's affairs anymore, nor did he want to ask why he came here and why he became so destitute?
But when she saw Aguo again, she thought of how good Shu Yuanqing was to her the last time they met.
She is not reconciled.
not understand.
Why does he hate his own biological sister so much, but is so considerate to a girl who has no blood relationship with him?
If you like her, you shouldn't call her "sister" to others, but if you don't like her, then why?
Ah Guo looked at her with a little caution, "Madam, can I ask you why?"
Why are you curious about this? Why do you want to know about him?
Could it be that she has fallen for Brother Shu?
But doesn't she already have a child?
As if sensing her defensiveness and nervousness, Shu He felt speechless. "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just saw that he had an extraordinary aura and didn't look like an ordinary farmer's son, so I asked out of curiosity."
"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."
At this time, the waiter brought tea. Shu He poured himself a cup and also poured her a cup.
"Have some tea, you must be thirsty." Her lips were a little chapped?
Aguo was a little afraid at first, but he couldn't resist the desire in his heart, so he picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Be careful, it's hot!"
Ah Guo shook his head, his features wrinkled in pain, "It's not hot, it's not hot..."
It was actually a bit hot, but she was just too thirsty. Luckily, tea cools quickly in winter, and she hesitated for a moment beforehand, which prevented the scalding tea from burning her mouth.
Shu He was speechless again. She asked the waiter for a pot of warm water and reminded her not to drink too quickly.
Perhaps it was Shu He's attentive care that made her let down her guard, and Aguo agreed to tell her about Shu Yuanqing.
As Shu He listened, extremely complicated emotions arose in his eyes, an indescribable feeling.
Half a year ago, Shu Yuanqing was picked up by Zhou Guo's father in the grass on the official road from Chenzhou to Beisha City.
Zhou Guo's father, Zhou Chiheng, was a small businessman who traveled back and forth between Beisha City, Chenzhou and Yuancheng, reselling cloth, tea and other things.
On the way back one day, his team heard groans in the grass and found Shu Yuanqing who was seriously injured.
He seemed to have been tortured, with marks of beating all over his body. Zhou Chiheng felt sorry for him and rescued him.
It took him three months to recuperate from his injury.
Three months later, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in the Zhou family compound, hacking everyone they saw. That night, the entire Zhou family was killed. Only Zhou Guo was left, and Shu Yuanqing took advantage of the chaos to take him away.
Killing people was not enough for them, they finally set a fire and burned the Zhou family to ashes.
From that day on, Zhou Guo fell ill and had a fever, his health was always up and down until he fell completely ill after winter.
Beisha City is too cold. After the Zhou family disappeared, they had been living in an abandoned thatched hut in the next village, where they couldn't even guarantee food and clothing.
Later, the town where they lived was often harassed by the Northern Di army because it was very close to the Northern Di. Therefore, Shu Yuanqing decided to take Aguo to Yuancheng, one to treat the disease, and the other to make a living.
"Brother Shu said that he once had a younger sister, but that sister was murdered..."
“So, he’s always nice to me.”
"Sometimes I can feel that he feels guilty. Sometimes, I can see the reflection of another person in his eyes..."
"He must have mistaken me for his dead sister..."
