Chapter 349 Rooftop Heart-to-Heart Talk
"envy?"
Hearing Liu Su's words, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned and a little surprised. Looking down at Liu Su's delicate and indifferent face, she was slightly stunned for a moment.
The reason why she doesn't like Zhiyuan is because she is jealous of Zhiyuan? !
This answer surprised Lin Jiangnian.
Why is she jealous of Zhiyuan?
Lin Jiangnian thought carefully.
In terms of martial arts, Liu Su is no worse than Zhiyuan. Although it is not clear who is more powerful between the two of them, they are very close and both are already among the top experts at such a young age.
The two half-mothers are both talented in martial arts.
And no matter in terms of appearance, figure, or temperament...the two of them are almost the same, there is not much difference!
On this point, Lin Jiangnian has the most say.
Under such circumstances, Liu Su is already considered rare in the world in terms of martial arts, appearance, and other attributes, and as a saint of the Tianshen Sect... Although the Tianshen Sect is not a powerful organization, at least it is As a saint, Liu Su can be considered inferior to one person.
Why is she still jealous of Zhiyuan?
What's there to be jealous of?
Facing Lin Jiangnian's puzzled eyes, Liu Su looked back at him and then looked away. As if relieved, there was a hint of indescribable emotion on his face.
"She has much better luck than me!"
Liu Su looked into the distance and chuckled as if she was self-deprecating, "She was born into a famous family, and she was a much-loved eldest daughter of an official when she was born... Even though her family was in dire straits, she still met your mother and was... Adopted into the Jiangnan family!"
"She was raised by Princess Lin as her own daughter. Even before Princess Lin died, she specifically asked the people in the house to take good care of her..."
"Princess Lin's sister is your aunt. She was only a teenager that year. She inherited her sister's last wish and took her with her..."
"Although Jiang Yuxiang is the daughter adopted by Mr. Jiang, no one in the Jiang family dares to look down upon her. After the death of Princess Lin, Mr. Jiang was particularly interested in this adopted daughter. In addition, Jiang Yuxiang's hot and tough temperament led to her growing up. The Jiang family has a lot of momentum. With Jiang Zhiyuan by her side, no one dares to bully her..."
At this point, Liu Su paused, looked deeply, and said calmly: "You see, she was born as a noble lady. Even though her family was in decline, she was still favored by the Jiang family since she was a child, and she never suffered any grievances..."
"Even though she was later taken to Prince Lin's Mansion by Lin Hengzhong and became Prince Lin's maid... On the surface, she was a maid, but her status in Prince Lin's Mansion was no lower than that of Prince Lin. Even Lin Hengzhong I trust and love her so much...do you know why?"
Lin Jiangnian listened quietly and heard Liu Su suddenly ask a question.
He was silent for a moment and nodded.
Why is Zhiyuan so trusted by Lin Hengzhong, but as a maid, she has so much power in Prince Lin's palace?
There are actually many reasons, but the most important reason is...
"Because, Princess Lin once said before she died that Zhiyuan was her child bride..."
A sneer appeared on Liu Su's face: "What Princess Lin did back then, whether she really had this idea or simply wanted to protect her. But at least, in Lin Hengzhong's eyes, he took it seriously!"
"Lin Hengzhong never treated her as a maid from the moment he brought her back to Prince Lin's Mansion... From the beginning, Lin Hengzhong treated her completely as his future daughter-in-law and the crown prince's concubine."
"That's why she has such a high status and such great power in Prince Lin's Mansion. Even everyone in Prince Lin's Mansion respects her..."
"Because, she is the candidate chosen by both Prince Lin and Princess Lin for the Crown Princess!"
"..."
Lin Jiangnian didn't speak. He looked at Liu Su's face quietly.
When Liu Su said these words, the expression on her face was always very calm. Like a bystander saying something as if it was nothing.
But there was another emotion brewing in her eyes.
It's like trying to suppress something.
"But what about me?"
Liu Su suddenly spoke again, her tone seemed a little confused.
A bit more self-deprecating.
"I'm different from her, and I can't compare to her..."
"I have been in the Tianshen Sect since I was born. My mother passed away inexplicably a few years ago. It was some kind-hearted old ladies in the sect who brought me up..."
"Ever since I can remember, others have said that I am the future saint of the Celestial Sect. At that time, I didn't know what saint meant. I only knew that this title brought me great danger..."
"Many people want me dead. They want to kill me and replace me... In order to protect me, those old ladies who raised me died one after another..."
"Growing up, I have faced all kinds of cruel and dangerous situations. In order to survive, I have to work hard and work hard. I practice martial arts diligently, become stronger, and kill all those who want to harm me. Kill those who want to harm me. Those who have grudges against me must be dealt with one by one..."
"Luckily, I survived and killed them all..."
Having said this, Liu Su lowered her eyes and stretched out her other hand.
Under the sleeve of the red dress, there is a slender palm, which is very white and thin.
Liu Su sneered: "Do you know how much blood has been stained on my hands?"
"Do you know how many people I have killed?"
She was sneering, but there was a touch of indescribable pain on her face.
Lin Jiangnian watched quietly, his heart heavy, with an indescribable pity.
Everyone only knew that she was the saint under the Heavenly God Religion, but no one thought about what she had gone through to get to this point.
"I have worked hard for so many years to finally get to where I am today and have achieved what I have now..."
"But what about her? She doesn't have to do anything, and she gets everything easily."
"Do you think her luck is much better than mine?"
Liu Su suddenly turned her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian, with an indescribable smile on her face.
She was obviously smiling, but the smile gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
"We have the same father, but we have completely different destinies... Do you think I should be jealous of her?"
"If it were you, wouldn't you be jealous?"
"..."
Faced with Liu Su's sudden questioning, Lin Jiangnian couldn't answer for a while.
Jealous?
Put yourself in his shoes, if it were him... he would also be jealous and unbalanced, right?
If the original Prince of Lin had not died, if the incident had not happened half a year ago, Lin Jiangnian would still be a wanderer.
At that time, would he be jealous and wonder, they are twins, why is one of them the prince of Lin, and he can only live among the people, living a miserable and precarious life?
The answer is actually very obvious!
Liu Su and Zhi Yuan are half-sisters.
But their fates are completely different.
Zhi Yuan is undoubtedly lucky. Even though the Xunyang Jiang family was tragically wiped out that year, at least Zhi Yuan has been well-fed and well-clothed since she was rescued by the Princess of Lin.
But Liu Su is completely different. After her mother passed away, she was a child without a father or a mother. At such a young age, she was in a cult that was full of open and secret struggles and extremely dangerous. How could she survive so hard?
It goes without saying.
So, Lin Jiangnian nodded heavily.
"Yes!"
"If I were you, I would be jealous, so jealous that my face would be twisted!"
Liu Su was slightly stunned, raised her eyes, and looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her gently, his eyes full of heartache, and sighed: "Jealousy is human nature, not to mention that you are originally..."
"If you didn't force me to pretend to be the prince of Lin that night in the temple. Perhaps, my fate would be the same as yours..."
"To be precise, perhaps my fate before was the same as yours."
Liu Su was stunned, and finally seemed to realize it belatedly.
This guy in front of her seems...really similar to her?
His fate, to be precise, was changed by her.
If it weren't for her mistaken decision, perhaps he would have died in the temple that night.
For a moment, Liu Su was a little dazed.
After a while, she slightly restrained her emotions, looked away, and said lightly: "So, you know why I don't like her?"
"I understand completely."
Lin Jiangnian nodded and clenched her palm. That soft and tender skin, as if it was boneless.
Very light, and very cold.
There was an indescribable chill.
Originally, she should have had a better life.
Back then, Jiang Cheng, the former governor of Xunyang County, met Liu Su's mother and later gave birth to Liu Su.
If Jiang Cheng hadn't died and the Jiang family hadn't been wiped out, Liu Su should have had a better fate.
Even if Jiang Cheng was a henpecked husband and couldn't give Liu Su the status of a mother, he would never let the mother and daughter stay alone in the Tianshen Sect, let alone let Liu Su grow up alone.
So...
The initiator and culprit of all this, the Xunyang Wang family? !
Speaking of which, fate is sometimes really interesting.
The frame-up of the Wang family led to the extermination of the Jiang family, causing Zhiyuan and Liu Su to lose their parents since childhood, causing Liu Su to grow up alone.
And more than a decade later, it was Zhiyuan who destroyed the Wang family with his own hands.
And Liu Su, in the prison of Xunyang City, personally killed all the people in the Wang family.
More than a decade ago, the Wang family killed the entire Jiang family, and more than a decade ago, the descendants of the Jiang family killed the Wang family again.
Perhaps, this is karma?
"So, sometimes fate is really strange!"
Lin Jiangnian sighed, looked down at Liu Su, and gently reached out to hug her in his arms.
Liu Su did not resist.
Perhaps it was because Lin Jiangnian had almost the same experience that made her feel inexplicably identified.
Or perhaps she was confused and a little helpless when she said this tonight.
"However, although we cannot decide our origins, we can decide our future destiny."
Lin Jiangnian looked down at her face and chuckled: "Now you are the famous saint of the Tianshen Sect, and I have become the prince of Lin Wang... At least, our future destiny is in our own hands."
Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Liu Su was slightly stunned.
After a while, she murmured to herself: "Control your destiny?"
I don't know what she thought of, but there was a little more relief in Liu Su's eyes.
"Yes, at least now... I have the ability to decide my own destiny!"
She is no longer the pitiful little girl who survived in the cracks of the Heavenly God Sect more than ten years ago. Now, she has absolute ability and power.
Even the great elder who posed the greatest threat to her in the Heavenly God Sect had already died at her hands.
There are few people in this world who can stop her. She really has the ability to control her own destiny!
"Speaking of which, Zhiyuan can't be blamed for what happened back then..."
At this time, Lin Jiang sighed: "I can understand that you are jealous of her. Not just you, I was actually quite jealous before..."
"But she did nothing wrong, and she is even a victim..."
"Don't look at her seemingly glorious appearance, but she has also suffered a lot of grievances behind the scenes..."
A young lady of an official family whose family was wiped out, living under someone else's roof. No matter what, it is impossible to have no objections at all.
Inevitably, there will be a lot of strange eyes and gossip.
Compared to Liu Su, Zhiyuan does not have to worry about safety. But to some extent, the pressure she encountered is not small.
Even with the last wish of Princess Lin, there is also the protection of Jiang Yuxiang. But Princess Lin died after all, and Jiang Yuxiang herself was just a little girl in her teens. Even if she tried her best to protect her, could she really protect a younger little girl completely?
What's more, Jiang Yuxiang herself is not the biological daughter of Mr. Jiang!
Because of this, perhaps no one knows Zhiyuan's feelings better than her.
"If you really count what happened back then, it was the Wang family who was wrong, and your father was also wrong..."
Lin Jiangnian sighed.
If Jiang Cheng hadn't been so affectionate back then, this situation wouldn't have happened. Even if Jiang Cheng had been tougher and not afraid of his wife at home, and took Liu Su and her daughter back, perhaps the situation would have been completely different...
For this deceased future father-in-law, Lin Jiangnian naturally threw all the blame on him without any pressure.
"Yes, she is indeed not wrong."
Liu Su stared ahead, "But I just don't like her."
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "But she is your half-sister after all."
"I didn't admit that she is."
Liu Su raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and after saying that, she struggled to get up from his arms.
She stood on the roof, letting the cold wind invade.
The close-fitting red dress fluttered on the roof in the middle of the night. At this moment in the middle of the night, there was an indescribable mysterious coldness.
It made people more and more fascinated.
She glanced back at Lin Jiangnian, her voice cold and ethereal.
"I don't hate her, but I don't like her at all!"
After a pause, Liu Su said expressionlessly: "I won't admit her relationship with me either."
"I don't have a sister, and I don't have a sister!"
"It's even more impossible..."
When she said this, Liu Su suddenly stopped, and a trace of anger appeared on her cold face.
She turned back and glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely.
"I'm leaving!"
After that, Liu Su turned and left.
"Wait..."
Lin Jiangnian hurriedly called her: "Where are you going?"
Liu Su didn't answer Lin Jiangnian's question. She jumped up and jumped off the roof and landed lightly on the roof not far away.
In the dark night, the red dress was mysterious and cold!
"Let's go drink!"
A cold voice came, accompanied by her figure, and soon dissipated in the dark night.
"Drink?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.
"Take me with you!"
"..."
