Chapter 98 Guining
Shen Xian Guining should be living a good life, but the anger at the dinner table was a bit strange.
Zhong Yuan's face was gloomy and ugly, Ye Zhen's eyes were reddish as if she had cried, and Shen Yuanhe kept one foot towards the door, as if he wanted to end the meal and leave quickly.
Shen Xian and Shi Ling looked at each other, the latter was calm.
Shen Xian licked her lips and gave Ye Zhen and Shen Chongyuan a piece of food each: "Mom and dad, eat the food. My daughter won't be able to help you pick the food from now on."
Ye Zhen forced a smile and lowered her head to eat. Zhong Yuan just nodded without moving his chopsticks.
This made Shen Xian even more strange. Zhong Yuan was the happiest when he got married yesterday, but what happened one night?
Could it be that he was angry because she casually insulted Aunt Wei?
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that Shen Yao didn't seem to show up either. She only targeted Aunt Wei that day and didn't do anything to Shen Yao.
After the meal was finished, Shen Yuanhe immediately left the dining hall. Shen Xian was stopped by Zhong Yuan and asked to speak alone. Shi Ling frowned with dissatisfaction, but after taking a look at Shen Xian, she still agreed.
After he turned around and went out, Zhong Yuan immediately turned cold. Ye Zhen stopped holding it and said in a cold voice: "How long are you going to make trouble?"
Zhong Yuan snorted and glanced at her: "Is it making trouble? I want to find justice for my daughter. Is it making trouble?"
"father?"
Zhong Yuan looked at her with doubt and confusion.
"Ruan Ruan, my father knows what kind of temper you have been since you were a child, but you should never have done this to your own sister, and even killed her! How did you become like this?"
Ye Zhen stood up suddenly and said angrily: "That's enough, Zhongyuan! How did you know it was Ruan Ruan who did it?"
"Then the servants have all come to report it, is there any lie? And you, you obviously knew it a long time ago, but you never reported it, causing Yao'er to run out of the house and her whereabouts are unknown, you jealous woman!"
Ye Zhen looked away with a stubborn and aggrieved face, and Shen Xian quickly stepped forward to hug her.
Turning to look at the angry Zhong Yuan, he asked puzzledly: "What life? Shen Yao is missing?"
Zhong Yuan was stunned and said suspiciously: "You don't know?"
"Dad is doubting me?" Shen Xian said helplessly: "Does dad really know the whole story?"
Zhongyuan waved his sleeves and turned his back.
Shen Xian originally thought that today was a family fun in Guining, but she never imagined that it would be such a scene.
She said: "On the eve of the wedding, Aunt Wei asked Shen Yao to give me a bowl of porridge. The porridge was filled with poison. If I eat it, I will not only be disfigured but also die. I did catch Aunt Wei, but I didn't hurt her at all. It's just that she was sent to Dali Temple for the government to deal with, and I never took care of her again, and I never thought about what to do to Shen Yao. Why don't dad find out the truth and question me again?"
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and held back her tears: "If I don't hide it, why should I want to publicize that your concubine died and your concubine ran away, ruining our wedding? Shen Yao wanted to do it herself. It’s not me who ran away with a stick to drive her away!”
"Zhong Yuan, you and I have been husband and wife for so many years, and today I finally heard what you were saying, right?"
Zhong Yuan looked a little confused and raised his head to look at the mother and daughter.
An old tone is not considered kind: "If it weren't for your usual actions, how could Yao'er run away? Yao'er's mother has never left the gate of Kyoto since she came back. Who would want her life?"
Shen Xian frowned and looked at Zhong Yuan. He never knew that his father could be so courageous in front of his mother, but it was because of another woman.
"So dad thinks we are mother and daughter? I did have murderous intentions. That was because Aunt Wei attacked me first. I know it is useless to leave it to you. Since Aunt Wei came back, you and my mother have become increasingly different. harmony..."
Shen Xian was about to say something more, but Ye Zhen suddenly stopped Shen Xian and shook her head, crying and turning to look at Zhong Yuan: "Today is the day for the child to return to Ning. King Xuan is still outside, so don't make it look too ugly. I will send someone to look for Shen Yao. As for Aunt Wei, who wants to harm my daughter, she deserves to die."
Zhong Yuan wanted to say something else, but looking at the tears on Ye Zhen's face, he couldn't say anything.
Sighing: "Why can't you always forgive me?"
Ye Zhen smiled bitterly, but shook her head without saying anything. She glanced at Shen Xian and said, "You should go out first, don't keep King Xuan waiting for too long."
"mother."
Ye Zhen wiped her tears: "Mom, it's okay, be good. You are a married woman, why are you still not obedient?"
Shen Xian glanced at Zhong Yuan worriedly. This look was full of distrust. Zhong Yuan felt guilty and said hurriedly: "Dad just went too far. Your mother is right. Don't keep King Xuan waiting for too long."
Shen Xian turned around and walked out the door. As soon as she walked out, she saw Shi Ling standing in the yard with her hands behind her back.
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
The only people who knew that she was poisoned by Aunt Wei were herself, Xiang Nong, and Ah Feng...
Shi Ling stepped forward and took her hand and asked, "What's wrong with my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Shen Xian frowned slightly and looked up at him: "Ziqing, do you know about Aunt Wei poisoning me?"
The smile on Shi Ling's face faltered for a moment.
"yes."
"...Then you were responsible for Aunt Wei's death?"
Shi Ling raised his head and nodded without any guilt: "She deserves to die."
Shen Xian didn't know what she was feeling now, she just felt extremely complicated.
She lowered her head and said worriedly: "But you shouldn't have taken action against A Yao."
Shi Ling squeezed her hand tightly, thinking she was angry, and hurriedly explained: "She drank it herself, I didn't force her, and I didn't know she would run away from home. Ruan Ruan, don't be angry with me."
Although he did want to give Shen Yao a drink at first, he didn't say anything, and it was indeed Shen Yao who grabbed the drink herself. He was wrong.
Shen Xian looked at his anxious look and shook her head.
"I'm not angry with you, but you have to tell me next time you do this."
And because of this incident, her parents seem to be different from before.
Shi Ling took her shoulders and put his chin into her neck: "Okay, as long as you're not angry."
Shen Xian's heart ached for no reason when she thought of Zhong Yuan's suspicious look at her just now. That was her father who had loved her since she was a child, but now he doubted her without knowing the truth.
Even knowing that she was almost poisoned just now, he didn't show any concern.
Shen Xian felt aggrieved, tugged on Shi Ling's sleeve and said, "Let's go home."
"Okay, go home."
Shi Ling took her hand and walked towards the door of the mansion. When the two were about to go out, Shen Xian suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Although she was wearing a cloak, she was still being protected by her brother, heading towards the side door.
She frowned and shouted: "Brother?"
Shen Yuanhe was startled and hurriedly hid the woman behind him before turning to look at the two of them.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, Princess."
Shi Ling raised his eyebrows, and Shen Xian frowned in displeasure: "What are you calling Princess? She's still called Ruan Ruan as before."
After saying that, he let go of Shi Ling's hand and walked towards the place where he was hiding. Shen Yuanhe immediately raised his foot to block her way, and said with a dry smile: "Ruan Ruan is going back?"
Shen Xian looked behind him even more curiously and saw a man squatting behind a pillar.
He crossed his arms and said suspiciously: "Brother, you are stealing someone. This is not okay. My mother is preparing a blind date for you. How can you find a wife if word spreads?"
"It's not what you think..."
Shi Ling walked over and took a look at the man's figure, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Shi Ying, are you going to come out on your own, or should I come and catch you?"
