Chapter 131: Cruel and ruthless, with no bottom line.

The two guards quickly lowered their heads and said, "I believe it, Miss, please come in."

"Hmph, that's pretty good."

Shen Qingyi raised her chin and walked in proudly. She quickly walked in front of Chen Mu, looked up at him with dissatisfaction and complained.

"Brother, why didn't you tell them not to stop me? It took me a lot of effort to see you this time. My voice was almost broken."

Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled slightly, without any guilt at all.

"I forgot. Please forgive me, Qingyi."

"What? You forgot? You can even forget this?"

Shen Qingyi frowned, becoming even more dissatisfied.

Seeing her angry look, Chen Mu chuckled and stroked her head to smooth her hair.

"Qingyi rarely comes to see me. I really forgot about it for a moment. What do you want from me?"

"It's very important."

When it came to business, Shen Qingyi no longer cared about being angry. She took a few steps up the stairs and took his arm.

"Brother, let's go inside and talk."

"good."

The brother and sister returned to their room and found the door was closed.

"Girl, it's time to apply the medicine."

Wing room.

Xing'er prepared the ointment and turned around to see Su Huanyan standing by the window, staring outside in a daze.

Are you looking at the prince again?

Xing'er was slightly startled, looking at her back, not knowing whether to continue urging her.

Just as she was struggling, Su Huanyan turned around and walked over, sat on the chair and started to undress. Xing'er quickly took out the ointment and prepared to apply it to her.

While applying the medicine, he comforted her softly.

"The girl's wounds have all scabbed over. They will be almost healed in two or three days of applying medicine. Moreover, the scab-free areas are as smooth as new, without any scars."

Hearing this, Su Huanyan was very happy and said, "Really? That's great."

Then, she pretended to be casual and said, "The prince and Miss Shen seem to have a good relationship."

"That's right, our Duke's Mansion is different from other mansions."

Xing'er tilted her head slightly and said complacently, "In other mansions, the young masters may be favored, but in our mansion, the most favored one is the young lady."

"Aside from the Duke's wife and the Seventh Master, the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master also dote on the young lady. The young lady is definitely the most favored of all the noble ladies in the capital."

"Miss Shen is so happy."

Su Huanyan said softly, her heart full of envy.

Then she thought of herself. Her mother accidentally met the distressed Su Chongyuan and gave her heart to him, only to find out that Su Chongyuan was already married.

A good girl from a decent family was forced to become a concubine of a wealthy family.

As a result, she became a concubine's daughter as soon as she was born.

Her mother was unwilling to be a concubine and tried to divorce her several times, but failed in the end. From then on, she was tormented by resentment and regret all day long. She died of depression not long after giving birth to her.

Su Chongyuan and her mother may have really loved each other, but in the end, they forced all the consequences and costs on her alone.

Mrs. Su hated her because she was evidence of Su Chongyuan's betrayal. Su Chongyuan hated her because she was not a man and could not let his mother gain status through her son. As for whether her mother hated her or not, she didn't know.

But she knew that her mother had not brought her anything warm or beautiful.

If I had to say something, it would probably be to bring her into this world so that she would have the chance to meet him.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

In the room.

Shen Mu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, then reached out and gently pushed it in front of Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi looked around, picked up the teacup and was about to drink water, but he reached out and held her down.

"Wait, it's hot."

"oh."

Shen Qingyi had no choice but to put down the teacup, holding her chin with one hand and looking at him, saying, "Brother, the girl's injuries should be almost healed, right? Are you planning to keep her forever?"

Chen Mu looked at her and said softly, "If her injuries haven't healed, she won't get treatment if she's sent back to the Su Mansion. Her injuries will get worse by then. It's better to heal her here and send her back."

"Is this the reason you came to me?"

"Of course not," Shen Qingyi immediately retorted, "I just wanted to express my concern for you, big brother. I'm looking for you for something else."

"Um."

Chen Mu responded softly, pretending to be listening attentively.

"Brother, Pei Lin is back and brought me a gift. Do you know that after hearing his name, it was like my memory was switched on and I talked about him so much."

Shen Qingyi stretched out her hand and gestured "a lot, a lot" in a very exaggerated manner, which made Shen Mu couldn't help laughing.

"Well, then?"

"Well, then I heard a lot of stories that made me angry. Brother, I said Pei Lin likes me. Did you see that?"

Chen Mu sighed and said, "Perhaps, you are the only one who didn't see it."

Shen Qingyi: "..."

Her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "So, you all knew that Pei Lin had bad intentions towards me? And you didn't tell me?"

"What's the point of telling you? What he does is his business. You don't need to care. Just don't like him."

Chen Mu said lightly that no matter how domineering their Shen family was, they could not stop others from liking Qingyi.

"How can it be useless? If you had reminded me, I could have ignored him and prevented him from thinking that I liked him too."

"By the way, big brother, you men, do you think a woman is interested in you as long as she smiles at you?"

Chen Mu sighed, "People are different. What did my little sister say to make you so angry?"

Shen Qingyi gritted her teeth and told her what was in her heart. When she thought about how Pei Lin had framed her and helped Xiao Yelin frame Shen Yuanhong, she was so angry that she wanted to skin him alive.

"Brother, Deputy General Pei is a man of integrity and courage. Pei Lin is his nephew and we grew up together. Do you believe he could be so vicious?"

Shen Mu narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he sneered.

"I used to think this person's personality was quite similar to Yaoxing's, ruthless and unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Now it seems I was wrong. Yaoxing is not as vicious as this person."

No matter how cruel Chen Yaoxing is, he has a bottom line, but this person has no bottom line at all.

"Who said it wasn't true? Shen Yaoxing is much better than him. Big brother, you should stop comparing him with Shen Yaoxing. Otherwise, if Shen Yaoxing knew, he would definitely be angry."

Hearing this, Chen Mu curled his lips and smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, Yaoxing won't be angry with me. These days, he has been keeping an eye on Su Haitang and has even forgotten about the princess's marriage."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Then Su Haitang changed the way she communicates with the system. Now, I can't hear their conversations. We don't know what Su Haitang's mission is, so I have to trouble my second brother to keep an eye on it."

"No, I have to go find the princess tomorrow. My second brother is busy stopping Su Haitang from completing the mission and can't take care of the princess. I have to help him keep an eye on the princess to prevent Lu Jinghuai from taking advantage of her."
