Chapter 336 Do I still have a home?

The person who came was Chen Ran.

The same blood as him.

She had her hair in a bun, looked haggard, had pale lips, and bruises at the corners of her mouth.

"elder brother……"

She whispered, her eyes reddening first.

Shang Xi was a little at a loss when facing her.

Actually, she was born when her sister died young and he was taken to the palace.

Shang Xi didn't know how to get along with her.

Looking at the bruised corner of her mouth, he asked dryly, "Are you hurt?"

Shen Ran shook her head and smiled: "No, it's okay, I can...can I go and pay my respects to him?"

This "he" naturally refers to Shen Zhiyi.

Shang Xi nodded and turned slightly sideways.

Shen Ran walked over there with a basket on her shoulder. Shang Xi stood there, looking at her.

Seeing her trembling hands touching the tombstone, suppressed and tiny sobs could be faintly heard.

Chen Ran knelt on the ground, took out the paper money from the basket and burned them one by one.

The paper money was blown into the air, swirling around, and landed on Shen Ran's shoulders, rustling and trembling, as if it was a brother comforting him.

Chen Ran held the paper money and cried even louder.

"Why……"

"You clearly know the consequences, why do you still do it..."

Before the uprising, Shen Zhiyi left someone for her, left her a letter, and said some inexplicable words.

At first I just thought he was nagging, but later I realized he was saying goodbye to her.

That night, when the palace changed, she was hidden by people arranged by Shen Zhiyi, so she was not taken into the palace and detained. Two days later, the person who hid her took out a letter and handed it to her, saying that the young master had been defeated.

Chen Ran opened the letter, which stated everything.

It turns out that Shen Zhiyi is not her real brother. She has a pair of twin brothers and sisters. In order to save Shen Zhiyi, her father first sent her sister into the palace to pretend to be a princess. After her sister died, he sent her brother into the palace to continue pretending to be a princess to appease Concubine Rong.

The letter ended by saying that by the time she saw it, he would probably be dead.

He asked her to seek shelter from Shang Xi and Xiao Ning.

He said that she was Shang Xi's sister from the same mother, and he would definitely make sure she was properly taken care of.

He also said that he knew she didn't like Mr. Zhao and had originally wanted to wait until he ascended to a high position to grant her a divorce, but now that there was no chance, he asked her to ask Shang Xi for help. He said Shang Xi was actually very soft-hearted and would definitely help her...

When Shen Zhiyi left Beijing, Shen Xiang married Chen Ran to the young master of the Zhao family in order to win him over.

She really didn't like this Mr. Zhao, but that was her father's order. Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers.

After reading the letter, Shen Ran's inner order completely collapsed.

His mother went insane and died young, his sister died young, and his brother entered the palace disguised as a woman...

All of this is because my father wants to protect the bloodline of the late emperor.

But Shen Zhiyi treated her very well...

Shang Xi can hate him, but she can't.

And my father...

He gave birth to her and raised her, so she couldn't hate him. She couldn't hate anyone else.

But her heart ached so much.

Can hardly breathe.

Chen Ran looked at the word "Zhi Yi" on the tombstone, her vision blurred by tears, and she seemed to be back to that afternoon.

She was pregnant at the time, and when she suddenly learned all this, her emotions fluctuated greatly, she had spotting, and her stomach hurt so much.

The person Shen Zhiyi left with her hurried out to find a doctor.

At this time, people from the Zhao family came and forcibly took her back to the Zhao family.

They told her that her father and elder brother were dead, and that the one who had ascended to the high position was Xiao Ning. The once high-ranking Princess Duanhui was now following Xiao Ning around like a dog, serving as his male concubine.

They said that since the Shen family had been defeated, it would be pointless for them to keep her, as it would only cause trouble for the new emperor.

They ignored her three-month pregnancy and tried to strangle her to death, then claimed she had committed suicide.

As Shen Ran struggled, she bled even more.

She cried and begged, "Husband, I'm pregnant with your child. If you don't care about our relationship as husband and wife, please at least consider the child..."

"If you die, I will have a new wife and new children. Ranniang, please help me."

Master Zhao smiled and raised his hand to signal the servant who was holding the white silk around Shen Ran's neck to tighten.

Chen Ran was strangled to death.

She thought she was going to die.

At the critical moment, someone jumped down from the wall, stabbed Master Zhao in the back with a knife, then cut the white silk and took her away.

Everyone was concerned about Mr. Zhao's injuries and failed to catch up in time.

Shen Ran fell into a coma. When she woke up again, her abdomen was flat and the child was gone.

Shen Ran covered her stomach and cried bitterly.

She didn't know why it became like this...

Originally she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. After marrying into the Zhao family, everyone in the Zhao family treated her like the apple of their eye.

Except for the person she married, whom she did not like, everything else went as she wished.

But now, how did it become like this?

Chen Ran was in great pain and haggard, and she really wanted to just fall asleep with her child.

But she still had to help her father and brother collect their remains...

The person Shen Zhiyi left for her was called A Shu.

She asked Ah Shu to pay more attention to the developments in the palace.

Shen Ran originally wanted to go to the palace gate to ask for an audience, but she didn't expect Shang Xi to come out today.

She reluctantly got up and followed, only to find that he had buried Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Ran cried for a long time. When she stood up, someone helped her. Shen Ran thought it was Ah Shu, but after she stood up, she found out it was Shang Xi.

He handed her a handkerchief.

Shen Ran took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and whispered thanks to Shang Xi.

Shang Xi asked, "The Shen family is in trouble, did Zhao Zhiyuan beat you?"

Shen Ran smiled at him and said, "No, I'm fine."

The Shen family has wronged him. As a member of the Shen family, how could she have the face to trouble him again?

She handles her own affairs.

only……

Shen Ran clutched her handkerchief, lowered her head, and whispered to Shang Xi, "Father's body...can I...I want him to be buried..."

Shang Xi's face turned cold after hearing her words.

"He doesn't deserve to be buried. You don't have to beg me for him anymore. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. Take care of yourself."

Shen Ran looked at his back, opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.

After Shang Xi left, Ah Shu supported the shaky Shen Ran and said, "Miss, go home."

"Home..." Shen Ran laughed at herself, "Do I still have a home?"

Her father and brother were defeated and killed in battle, the Shen family was destroyed, and her husband's family wanted to kill her to please the new emperor.

The child is gone...

Where does she have a home?

Shen Ran looked in the direction Shang Xi left.

Now she is the only one left in the world who is related to her by blood.

But the Shen family hurt him deeply.

Ah Shu glanced at the grave mound behind him and said softly, "Miss, you must take good care of yourself. The young master is watching you. He will be sad if you act like this."

Yes, my brother should be sad...

Shen Ran raised her head, forced the tears back into her eyes, then turned around with a smile.

She raised her hand and touched the tombstone, "Brother, I will live well, don't worry."

If she were gone, who would burn paper for them during festivals?
