Chapter 48: The Origin of the Dagger

After hearing this, Shen Qiujun turned around and saw the dagger in the sixth prince's hand. He was shocked and hurriedly snatched it away.

When she was reading just now, she habitually put the dagger under her body because she had changed her clothes. However, the sixth prince came in and caught her off guard. She stood up in a hurry and dropped the dagger on the bed.

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "This little dagger looks exquisitely carved, and the gems on it are also extraordinary. I like it very much. Give it to me!"

Shen Qiujun hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "This is a gift from a close friend of mine. It's not easy to pass it on to you. I have a lot of good things here. Go over and take a look. If you like it, just take it!"

When the Sixth Prince heard this, his eyes became a little subtle. He looked at Shen Qiujun and repeated playfully: "Friends of life and death?"

Shen Zhaoning knew the status of this dagger in his sister's heart, so he hurriedly pulled the sixth prince towards Duobaoge, and said with a smile: "Sixth Master is indeed very proud. My sister is very stingy. After all these years, I have never learned from her." I found something valuable in my hand, so today I want to borrow Mr. Liu’s honor and pick it out carefully. She has a lot of good things here! Don’t be polite to her!"

The Sixth Prince was dragged away by Shen Zhaoning, and he could not forcefully ask for it, so he and Shen Zhaoning had to look at the antique jades on the Duobao Ge.

Shen Qiujun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stuffed the dagger into his arms and hid it.

Unexpectedly, after the Sixth Prince looked around, his face darkened and asked: "Why don't you put the pair of jasper bottles I gave you? Is it because they are not of high quality?"

Why is the sixth prince's temper so awkward? Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and explained: "The gift from the sixth master is naturally the best, but it is too expensive. I was afraid that it would be damaged if it was left out, so I asked the girls to keep it." .”

Only then did the Sixth Prince laugh, and asked the girl to take them out, and placed them on the Duobao grid himself. He said with a smile: "These pair of jasper bottles are just playthings. They are just sitting there collecting dust. No matter how valuable they are, they are in vain."

After the Sixth Prince's fuss, everyone felt a little bored and sat quietly drinking tea.

The Sixth Prince mentioned again: "Although these things are good, I still like that dagger more. Sister Yu, why not just give it to me. At worst, I will get it for you whatever you like!"

Everyone secretly despised the Sixth Prince: Why are you so thick-skinned! A gentleman will not take away people's love, so you have never seen good things? Besides, since Shen Qiujun said it was a gift from a life-and-death friend, it must have been a gift from a boudoir woman. Yes, how could I give you another man's hand?

Sure enough, Shen Qiujun said: "This dagger cannot be given away. It was given by a sister back then. When she gave it to me, she asked not to give it to others! I really can't go against what I said back then."

The Sixth Prince had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and said with a smile, "How about you lend me a hand?"

Shen Qiujun lowered his eyes and said softly: "I'm afraid I can't fulfill Master Liu's wish! I promised her back then that I wouldn't hand it over to anyone else!"

The Sixth Prince stared at Shen Qiujun with a sneer on his lips: "What a good sister we are, do you deserve to treat us like this? Did I save your life, or will I give you a good future in the future?"

This was a bit snobby. Shen Qiujun said: "This is the promise I made back then. If I can't keep it, I'm afraid I will be uneasy for the rest of my life! I'm not just for her, but also for my own principles."

There was joy in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, and he said with a smile: "Since she doesn't expect you to be like this, I'll give up what I said back then! Good sister, give it to me!"

Shen Qiujun raised his eyes and said sternly: "She naturally expects me to abide by that agreement!"

The Sixth Prince couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw Shen Qiujun's sudden voice and fierce expression.

At this time, there was a thunder in the sky. It was too late, but it was faster than that. A flash of white light flashed by. The dagger had been unsheathed by Shen Qiujun and was held tightly in his hand, its sharp edge glowing with cold light.

A strange emotion flashed in the eyes of the Sixth Prince. In an instant, his eyes calmed down again. He smiled calmly and said: "It seems that your so-called life-and-death friend has a bad character. God can't stand it! Why don't you give it to me? , out of sight but out of mind!”

When Shen Qiujun saw that the Sixth Prince insisted on asking for the dagger in his hand, he couldn't help but sneer: "You are a rich and well-dressed prince who only knows how to fight for power and profit, and regards the people in the world as ants. How can you understand the blood and family ties of common people, and know each other and share life and death together?" friendship!”

When Aunt Chu and others heard what Shen Qiujun said to the Sixth Prince, they felt frightened and tried to stop him.

When Shen Zhaoning heard this, his heart moved. When he looked at the expression of the sixth prince, he saw that he was not as angry as he imagined. His face was still calm, except for the hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. , and when this expression appeared on the face of a teenage child, it was indescribably weird.

Shen Zhaoning hurriedly stopped Aunt Chu and asked them to retreat quietly.

Shen Zhaoning knew his sister's temperament very well, and she couldn't be more aloof and self-proclaimed.

If she doesn't like what that person is doing, most of the time she will sneer in her heart and ignore that person in the future.

But this time, it is rare that I really go to great lengths to accuse someone from the bottom of my heart!

If she could tell something deeply buried in her heart, would her life be less painful?

The Sixth Prince had already smiled and said: "It's just a broken dagger! How much is it worth? Just think of it as what she asked you to do. A gift is a gift. Where are those demands? Could it be that the person who gave you something is solemnly requesting you?" You swore not to give it away? It can be seen that that person took the name of your life and death friend in vain, and there is no sincerity in giving anything!"

Shen Qiujun looked at the dagger shining coldly in front of him, shook his head and said: "No, she deserves it! This is not only a dagger, but also a treasure for self-defense in troubled times!"

"A treasure for self-defense? I'm afraid it will cause you trouble! Look at the gem on it, it can shine in the dark. It is not an eye-catcher. It seems that it must have caused you trouble." The sixth prince said with disdain.

Shen Qiujun glanced at the sixth prince, who was dressed in red, and said sternly: "You were born in the palace compound, how could you know the fear of being alone in troubled times! She gave me the only weapon for self-defense, which was to Put it on the chopping board and let the mermaid eat! If it weren’t for this dagger, I’m afraid I would have been a pile of bones a few years ago!”

The sixth prince couldn't help but let out a loud sigh and said angrily: "You're saying something unlucky at this late hour! I just don't want your dagger. If you don't want to give it, just say so. There's no use in making up such an unlucky story in the middle of the night." Come on, let’s live and die!”

At this time, Shen Qiujun was talking about his sadness, and he dropped the dagger into the table. Thinking of what happened on that thunderstorm night, he couldn't help but feel so aggrieved that he couldn't speak, and he could only suppress his sobs.

Only then did Shen Zhaoning know the origin of the dagger in his sister's hand. When he saw his sister burst into tears, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her and persuaded her: "Everything is over. You have parents and me. I will never let you be alone again!" "

But Shen Qiujun covered his mouth, stood up, pulled out the dagger with all his strength, turned around and went to the inner room.

Shen Zhaoning hurriedly followed her, but hesitated to speak. In the end, she just stood there quietly, crying silently with her sister.

There was no emotion in the eyes of the Sixth Prince. He stood blankly for a while, then slowly turned around and walked out of the room.

When Xiao Chengzi saw the sixth prince coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up. However, he saw the sixth prince walking directly into the rain. He hurriedly chased after him with an umbrella, and advised: "It's raining heavily, why don't you wait before leaving?" !”

The sixth prince wiped the rain from his face and whispered: "This little rain is nothing! Sister Yu is in a bad mood, let's go back first!"
