Zhao Qingren noticed it and turned to look at Shen Qin. Shen Qin quickly retracted her resentful gaze and returned to her gentle and careful appearance. She stood upright in the middle of the courtyard and called softly, "Young Master."

She stood a little further away from the courtyard, as if she didn't dare to get too close to the study. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Zhao Qingren's study was like a forbidden area, and people without important identities were not allowed to approach it, let alone enter it. However, Li Mo, with a fake identity, could actually enter the study and serve Zhao Qingren. In the eyes of those people, it was absolutely a great favor from heaven, a blessing that others could not even ask for.

Moreover, she was just a lowly outer disciple with no spiritual power.

Thinking of this, Shen Qin's heart felt as if it was being pricked by needles. It was extremely painful, but she dared not say anything.

She only heard Zhao Qingren's voice coming from inside the house: "What are you doing here?"

What he meant by this was that she shouldn't have come.

Shen Qin couldn't help but tremble.

Obviously, these words were not pleasant to hear and were somewhat painful, but Shen Qin's ears heard Zhao Qingren's voice with her own ears and felt that she was talking to Zhao Qingren again. She felt that the withered flower of her soul was watered by water that seemed to be poisonous. It was obviously drinking poison to quench her thirst, but she was happy to accept it.

Her fingers trembled slightly under her sleeves, and she felt a little self-deprecating about her own degradation, but her feet were fixed on the ground, unable to move at all. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, for fear that the slightest mistake she made would cause his displeasure.

She didn't know what kind of woman he liked, but she knew that Mr. Zhao hated women who were not polite and did not follow the rules, so she could not do anything that would disgust him. She whispered, "I am here to see you, Mr. Zhao. What instructions do you have..."

"No instructions, just go down." Zhao Qingren said lightly without waiting for Shen Qin to finish.

Li Mo looked at him. His behavior at this moment already showed his displeasure.

This is rarely seen in the polite and indifferent Young Master Zhao.

And this was also within Limo's expectations.

She turned and looked at Shen Qin.

There was a flash of pain on Shen Qin's face for a moment, and then she looked at Zhao Qingren with a pair of eyes that were hurt to the point of crying blood, but full of extreme love. If it had substance, Zhao Qingren's face would probably have been burned with her.

Shen Qin loves Zhao Qingren very much.

She could give up everything for this man. Before she fell in love with him, she respected herself and loved herself. In order not to become Zhao Chenyu's concubine, she used silence to resist her parents who forced her, and participated in the mission of protecting Zhao Wulang, just to prove herself.

But because of Zhao Qingren, she gave up her self-respect and self-love, and was willing to become one of Zhao Qingren's concubines.

Before she fell in love with him, she had a sense of right and wrong and justice, so she couldn't stand Zhao Wulang bullying Zhao Sen, and accepted Li Mo's help, using silence in exchange for a way to leave the Zhao family.

But because of Zhao Qingren, she betrayed everything, including her original principled self and Li Mo who had done her a favor. She became ungrateful and repaid her with evil, and teamed up with Zhao Qingren to kill Li Mo, using ugly and despicable means.

All for a man, Zhao Qingren.

Human beings are really interesting animals. Because of emotions, they abandon everything and become what they don't want to be and what they think is ugly, and they call it "love."

However, because of this, Li Mo let the thing she loved most disappear from her life.

The thing she cared about most was not even a chance to get it. That was the cruelest punishment, more painful than taking her life, and it would make her suffer from this pain for the rest of her life, unable to live or die.

She gave Shen Qin the elixir to save her life because of Du Cangfeng's principles and reputation, but she didn't really give her a chance by saving her life, but gave her another extreme punishment.

According to Zhao Qingren's personality, he would check everything that happened that night, every word Mu Limo said, and everything she did, and would ask clearly, without missing any details. However, Limo deliberately said "I look down on you" in front of Shen Qin.

On the surface, this sentence seemed to be a slap in Zhao Qingren's face, but in fact it cut off the possibility of a future relationship between Shen Qin and Zhao Qingren. Zhao Qingren was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. Hearing the five words "I look down on you" from Shen Qin was a huge blow to his dignity.

Although Shen Qin did not say this, she knew about this incident and it happened to her.

Every time Zhao Qingren saw her, he would think of the damn words "I look down on you" that Li Mo had uttered. How could he have the mood to talk about love with this person under the moonlight? He was afraid that every time he saw her, he would be passively reminded of this memory, which made him feel disgusted and unwilling to see her again.

Li Mo's last words cut off Shen Qin's hope of love.

Very cold.

Unfortunately, Shen Qin couldn't see through all this and still maintained hope for Zhao Qingren.

If she hadn't held onto hope, how could she have come here with such hostility? Seeing her accompanying Zhao Qingren, she couldn't help but look at her with jealousy.

This was like a completely different person from the Shen Qin that Li Mo first met.

Her eyes were filled with endless love and desire for Zhao Qingren. She looked at Zhao Qingren with such eyes and said, "Sir, do you really have nothing to tell me? As long as you tell me, I will definitely do it... As long as, as long as..."

As long as I can be with you.

"I don't need you to do anything here. The people around me are smarter than you, more capable than you, and can serve me better than you. Why do I need you..." Zhao Qingren's calm words were like a knife that pierced Shen Qin's heart. She seemed to see blood dripping slowly from her chest. It was very painful, but she couldn't die. And the heart that was beating for the man in front of her still couldn't stop its deep love...

She bit her lip and whispered, "But, but..."

But then, she couldn't continue.

"But what?"

Zhao Qingren's voice was still calm, but everyone could hear some impatience in his voice. Perhaps his patience was extremely limited when it came to a lowly servant like Shen Qin.

Young Master Zhao probably felt that it was extremely inappropriate to waste time on such a person.

Li Mo could probably imagine that when Shen Qin was plotting all kinds of means against Li Mo, Zhao Qingren would not treat her like this. Perhaps his words were gentler and his smile was more cordial, otherwise Shen Qin would not have been bewitched to the point of disregarding her own safety and killing a cultivator in the Floating Life Realm. Shen Qin was not stupid enough to be so stupid.

But now, Zhao Qingren has changed his face, but she still misses herself back then.

But she never figured out how she could have the chance to gain Zhao Qingren's favor and patience again when she was no longer of any use.

Appearance?

Beauty?

But will beauty be scarce in the eyes of the next head of the Zhao family?
