It was cold back then

Another rainy day.

The patter is not noisy, the rain is dense and soft, flying down along the slanting wind, like an embroidery needle in the hands of an embroiderer.

Under the secluded long corridor, there is a woman in snow clothes standing on the side of the corridor watching the rain.

Sporadic rain foam stained the hair, adding to the sense of coolness, the white hair was scattered on the shoulders, and it was about to merge with the extremely clean dress.

Beautiful scenery, beauties, but this picture reveals an inexplicable heaviness.

"Little owner, the disciple is back."

Hearing the voice, Yue Chuhan looked sideways and asked, "What's the matter?"

The disciple replied: "Steward Chang has been safely sent back to the old house in Mucheng, and Brother Jiang's funeral has been settled. As you ordered, the truth has not been disclosed to the outside world, and a name has been left for Senior Brother Jiang. "

Yue Chuhan responded, "Where is Sheng'an City?"

The disciple took out a letter and handed it to her, saying: "The situation in the Southland is getting better and better, Section Master Zhang can't handle it alone, Master Yan and Miss Zhao have decided to stay there to help, this letter is Miss Zhao asked someone to send it back."

"How's the digging going?"

"Everything is going well, and the Lingshan Reservoir has already been restored to its original state. The owner of the small village doesn't have to worry."

Yue Chuhan nodded: "Thank you."

The disciple nodded and stepped back immediately.

His eyes stayed on the letter for a long time, but he couldn't open it for a long time.

After a while, a young gentleman came from the corner of the corridor.

Seeing the envelope in her hand at a glance, Pei Lu said, "See?"

Yue Chuhan shook his head: "Never."

Both fell silent.

After a long time, Pei Lu reached out and took the envelope: "Let me do it."

The letter paper was unfolded, and the neat and beautiful fonts came into view, and all the contents on it were also fully visible.

Seeing the handwriting and what was written on the letter clearly, Pei Lu's heart sank, and he sighed, "What Elder Wu said is indeed true."

Rao was prepared, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was still inevitably disappointed.

"Early cold?"

Pei Lu was worried: "What should I do?"

As if he had made up his mind, Yue Chuhan frowned: "Hold on and wait for me."

Pei Lu handed the letter back to her again, with a solemn expression: "Go."

Yue Chuhan took the envelope and stuffed it into his arms, then turned and left.

All the way to the familiar Qingya courtyard, she stood in the chaotic rain, looking at the closed wooden door directly opposite.

The snow-white figure stood quietly, unable to move for a long time.

A disciple came up behind him, leaned over and said, "Why doesn't the little master come in because he's drenched in the rain?"

Feeling very complicated, Yue Chuhan looked at her sideways: "What did you take?"

The disciple said: "It's time to change the medicine for the eldest lady."

Yue Chuhan stretched out his hand: "I'll come, you step back first."

After that, she walked forward with the medicine tray, pushed the door open and entered.

The windows are all open, and the light in the room is quite considerable. On the innermost bed, a woman in obscene clothes is resting with her eyes closed.

She was still asleep, and when she heard the movement, she slowly opened her eyes.

With joy on her face, Liu Shushu immediately sat up clutching her abdomen, jokingly said: "It's been so long since I've been out of the customs, I came to see me once, and now you think of me again?"

Yue Chuhan put the medicine tray aside and looked at her: "Is it getting better?"

Her complexion was still a little pale, but the smile on that face was as bright as before, Liu Shushu said brightly: "It's much better, the poison has been cured long ago, this little injury is nothing."

Yue Chuhan sat down beside her: "I'll change your medicine."

Liu Shushu raised her eyebrows: "You?"

Yue Chuhan didn't look at her: "What about me?"

Liu Shushu looked her over and felt strange: "When did you take the initiative to care about others? You have been an idiot since you were a child, and you can only speak politely, but I have never seen you take care of anyone personally."

"You were injured in Biyun Villa, so I am naturally obliged to take care of you," Yue Chuhan said, lifting his chin, "Take off your clothes."

Liu Shushu was a little stunned: "Take off... clothes?"

Yue Chuhan looked at her: "How do you change your dressing without taking off your clothes?"

The person was sitting on one side, very close, and could even smell the fragrance from her hair. Liu Shushu felt restrained for no reason, and felt a little embarrassed for the first time: "Then turn around first."

Seeing her rare impressive appearance, Yue Chuhan frowned even tighter.

Liu Shushu was surprised: "What are you doing in a daze, turn around."

Yue Chuhan didn't move: "They're all women, what are you afraid of?"

Never expecting to hear such words from this person, Liu Shushu was quite surprised: "Did you take the wrong medicine today?" She paused for a moment before remembering, "My wound is on my abdomen, and my clothes Just lift it up, why did you let me take it all off?"

Yue Chuhan then walked to the dressing table and brought a basin of water over, saying: "You haven't bathed in the past few days, I'll just wipe it off for you and take it off."

Noticing that her expression was a little colder than before, Liu Shushu was puzzled, but she also took off her clothes as she said.

The obscene clothes slipped off the shoulders, revealing the smooth back, and a bandage was still wrapped around the waist.

And near the left shoulder blade, there is a purplish-red birthmark that is not too big or small, like a piece of ink stained on white paper.

Yue Chuhan took a look at the birthmark, then naturally wrung out the towel and wiped Liu Shushu's back.

"I've known you for so long, but I didn't know you still had a birthmark."

Liu Shushu turned her head and took a look: "I can't even see it myself, my nanny told me when I was young."

"I haven't heard you mention it."

"It's just a birthmark, what's there to say? It can't be publicized."

Yue Chuhan withdrew his hand, stared at her back and said, "I just received a letter from Miss Zhao."

Liu Shushu didn't raise her head: "Oh, what did you write?"

"The letter says to ask Qisang to steal books from Qixing Pavilion, and also ask Miss Zhao not to take her back to Sheng'an City."

Liu Shushu was taken aback, and looked sideways at her: "So, Qisang didn't lie?"

Yue Chuhan nodded: "Someone deliberately used my handwriting to forge letters and spread false news, making us suspicious of her."

Liu Shushu suddenly realized: "No wonder."

After speaking, both of them were speechless.

After a long time, Yue Chuhan said in a low voice, "Why?"

Hearing this inexplicable question, Liu Shushu looked puzzled: "What?"

His eyes darkened, Yue Chuhan squeezed his palms tightly, and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Her expression froze for a moment, and Liu Shushu quickly realized: "Do you suspect that I did it?"

Throwing the letter in front of her, Yue Chuhan stood up with a cold face: "The handwriting on this letter was written by you."

Liu Shushu opened the letter and scanned it, then snorted: "I am not the only one who can imitate your handwriting."

"But you are the only one who can imitate to such a level," Yue Chuhan said in a deep voice, "Qi Sang has lost her memory, and she no longer remembers imitating my handwriting in the past. Needless to say, Pei Lu, I can recognize his handwriting at a glance. Look, only your writing can make it difficult to distinguish between true and false."

Without further ado, Liu Shushu threw away the letter, and said angrily, "You actually doubt me based on such a letter? Then how do you know, could it be Qisang's deliberate trick? It's true that she lost her memory , but it is unknown whether she can still imitate your handwriting."

"The letter was sent by Feixueju's personal guard. Qisang was in another place at that time, how could she give orders to your subordinates?"

"She has a very close relationship with Meng Qing, so how difficult it is to use Meng Qing's hand to facilitate this matter."

"It's really not difficult, but why did Meng Qing let Qisang steal books in the Seven Star Pavilion? This is obviously not good for the Seven Star Pavilion. Obviously, some people don't want her to come back, so they use this as an excuse to delay time and let her stay in the house." Seven Star Pavilion."

Liu Shushu raised her eyebrows and said, "You ask me who am I asking? It's just a common method. Who can guess what she, Meng Qing, is going to do?"

The witness evidence is Zhao Mianmian, and the physical evidence is the letter. The combination of the two can prove that she is the one who spread the false news, not to mention that she was the one who proposed to test Qisang at the beginning.

With uncontrollable anger and disappointment in his heart, Yue Chuhan asked, "Now that things are going on, you still want to blame Qisang?"

Liu Shushu was not flustered, instead she sneered and said, "I have no grievances with her, why did you wrong her?"

Yue Chuhan tried his best to maintain his calm: "She didn't kill my father, and she didn't leak the secret about Zijinguan. Now that the handwriting on this letter is clearly from your hand, I would like to ask, since you have nothing to do with her There is no hatred, so why deliberately set up such a plan to deal with her?"

Liu Shushu paused, put on her clothes neatly, looked directly at her and said, "On the day Uncle Yue was murdered, you were the one who said she acted suspiciously, so I became suspicious of her and tried to test her. You said I would deal with her." She, Yue Chuhan, the one who died was your father, what reason do I have to deal with her!"

Then Yue Chuhan took out another object from his bosom and threw it at her: "Then take a look at this object again, does it look familiar?"

Liu Shushu looked down, obviously startled.

It was a small and delicate sachet.

"Qi Sang has never been good at female reds, and the sachets she made are absolutely impossible to look like this," Yue Chuhan said, "know how to make sachets, and I can ask her for help, and she can also threaten Jiang Xuan and imitate my handwriting , such a big Biyun Villa, I can't find anyone other than you."

His eyes flickered, Liu Shushu stared at the sachet for a few times, disdainful: "There are so many female disciples in the village, there are countless people who can make sachets, and it is difficult to count the people who are friends with Qisang, Jiang Xuan can be threatened I'm not the only one who can, as for imitating your handwriting, as I said, it's not certain whether Qi Sang will forget it or not."

Speaking of this, she also got up and left the bed, put on her coat, and said expressionlessly: "I can do what you said, but don't forget, besides me, there is another Pei Lu, he You can still plan these things, so why do you think it's me?"

Yue Chuhan said with burning eyes: "It's because you're not the real Liu Shushu."

Hearing her words, Liu Shushu's expression froze, and she said in surprise, "Isn't it really me? Did your mind get trapped by the door, and you said something nonsense."

With a bad look, Yue Chuhan suppressed his anger: "The birthmark on your back is fake."

Liu Shushu's eyes were unpredictable, and she looked at her: "Fake? What you saw with your own eyes before, can it be fake?"

Yue Chuhan took a few steps closer to her, and said in a cold voice, "Do you know what Wu Yulong said to me that night at Zijinguan?"

Liu Shushu took a step back: "What did you say?"

Yue Chuhan said: "He asked me to pay attention to you after returning to the manor."

Liu Shushu looked back at her, her expression gradually turned cold.

"I met in Anding City two days ago, and he told me that the real Liu Shushu didn't have any birthmarks at all." Yue Chuhan suddenly reached out and clasped her wrist, his eyes were cold, "The childish old things that night at Zijin Pass, He deliberately said it to you, the purpose is to test you, these days, I have been praying that this is not true, but I just saw the birthmark on your back, I have to believe it no matter how unwilling it is!"

As soon as the words fell, she quickly tore off the clothes Liu Shushu had just put on again, her true energy condensed in the palm of her hand, touched the skin of the shoulder blade, and soon, the purple-red birthmark disappeared in the blink of an eye without a trace.

Even though he had already decided in his heart, seeing the birthmark dissipate, his heart still couldn't help but feel a chill.

They have known each other for many years, and they were married with their fingertips. Although they never had feelings for her, they sincerely regarded her as a close friend, but who would have thought that once their dreams were shattered, the person in front of them would turn out to be a complete lie and a scam!

There was a piercing coldness all over his body, and the expression in those light brown eyes was extremely complicated, Yue Chuhan gritted his teeth and said, "Why!"

Her identity had been exposed, all the illusions were torn apart, and her true feelings surfaced, but Liu Shushu was unbelievably calm.

She still maintained her usual proud posture, and said without fear: "Why? I also want to know why."

Yue Chuhan held her tightly, his expression was extremely bad: "The man in gray, it's you."

Liu Shushu didn't resist, but just stood quietly: "It's me."

Hearing her confession, Yue Chuhan finally couldn't help releasing his murderous intent: "It was you who asked Qisang to give me a sachet and dragged me into that student room, and you were the one who hid in the room and took the opportunity to poison you." People are you too."

"Yes."

"You wrote the letter. Meng Qing suddenly abandoned the city when the incident came to a close. It can be seen that she didn't know that there was an ambush. It was you who stopped the reinforcements and ordered the Qixing Pavilion disciples to encircle us that night."

"good."

All the doubts have been solved, and she gave the answer herself, Yue Chuhan stared at her so hard that he was speechless for a while.

On the contrary, Liu Shushu was calmer than her, and when she saw this, she asked back: "Is there anything else, do you want to know? I can tell you everything."

"What-"

Then I heard Liu Shushu say: "The Changlong Guan Qisang was robbed, I arranged for you to rush to rescue him."

She chuckled lightly, as if she had changed suddenly: "I ordered someone to destroy the Burning Village in the name of Meng Qing, and then I sent someone to tell the bearded man that he could kidnap Qisang and threaten Meng Qing that night. , after you show up, I will order my subordinates to kill the past, so that you can bring Qisang back logically, this is what I discussed with Meng Qing in advance."

"Afterwards, when you went to Fuyu Island, it was I who asked Jiang Xuan to pretend to clean up the explosives and explosives on the island. In fact, none of them were destroyed, so Fuyu Island sank in the end."

"The poison in the Southland was also sent by me. Gongling was Meng Qing's person from the beginning, and crossing the customs is the place Qixing Pavilion really wants. It doesn't matter if Fuyu Island is gone. I thought , step by step to disintegrate the Eastern Territory, but I never thought that Meng Qing would willingly give up Zijinguan and other treasures for the sake of that girl Qisang, so I set up an ambush, but unexpectedly killed another three thousand sects in the snowy area on the way. One foot, I heard you said he was tempting me, it seems that he really knew the former Liu Shushu, so I was defeated."

She spoke slowly, one word at a time, so plain, she was clearly confessing her crimes, but she spoke so calmly, as if she was telling a story that happened to someone else.

The more he listened, the more frightened he became, he unconsciously increased the strength of his hand, the wrist he was pinching turned blue, Yu Chuhan's eyes were like knives, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Who are you!"

A wry smile suddenly appeared on her face, Liu Shushu lowered her eyes, and said in a sad tone, "Who am I?" Her wrist was tightly clamped, but she seemed to be unable to feel the pain, "I have worn the mask for a long time, and I also Almost forgot who I am."

Yue Chu looked at her coldly: "You killed the real Liu Shushu, you have been lurking in the Eastern Realm for many years, and you can command the disciples of the Seven Star Pavilion. Your identity must be extraordinary. What is the relationship between Meng Qing and you!"

"I have nothing to do with her. If I really want to say it, I have become an enemy now." With an uncontrollable trance, Liu Shushu turned pale, "If it wasn't for an enmity, why did I take such pains to kill Yue Changfeng? You want If you really want to know, just go and ask your good father if he did anything wrong back then."

Yue Chuhan couldn't bear it any longer: "The villains in the western region, they still have to fabricate reasons for killing people!"

She didn't shy away from her murderous intent, as if accepting her fate, Liu Shushu smiled awkwardly: "It is true that you need to make up a reason for killing people, and I have to thank your father for teaching me."

"Stop talking nonsense, why on earth did you attack your father!"

Liu Shushu was silent for a while, and when she was about to answer, her body suddenly shook twice, and before Yue Chuhan could react, she fell to the ground in a daze.

Yue Chuhan reacted conditionedly to help her up, but when he came back to his senses, he paused again.

"say clearly!"

Liu Shushu fell beside her legs, her breath was out of breath, and she glanced at the closet by the wall: "There's a box in the closet, take it out, and you'll know it when you look at it."

Yue Chuhan immediately raised his legs and walked away.

The door of the cupboard was opened, and there were all kinds of clothes neatly placed inside, but after searching twice, there was no box.

With a chill in her heart, she turned her head and saw that Liu Shushu, who was still weak just now, was running out of the door as lightly as a swallow!

With an extremely cold expression on his face, Yue Chuhan pulled out his long sword and rushed out the door quickly.
