Chapter 174 She Almost Succeeded

Originally he had left.

But he was really worried, so he sneaked into Prince Jin's Mansion after avoiding the eyes and ears of the palace.

What he really didn't expect was that the woman almost succeeded!

Fortunately, he brought some knockout smoke with him, and Xiao Yelin reacted quickly. He held his breath immediately after noticing it and was not hit by the smoke.

Afterwards, Xiao Yelin discovered that someone had sneaked into the palace.

After dodging for a while, he returned to Prince Jin's Mansion and threw the unconscious Su Haitang into the courtyard where the palace guards lived.

[After leaving, the second brother returned and knocked Su Haitang unconscious, ruining Xiao Yelin and Su Haitang's private time together?]

[Isn't the second brother affected by the aura of being a heartthrob? ]

【He is Su Haitang's male counterpart? 】

When Chen Yaoxing heard this, he curled his lips and retorted in his heart unconvinced.

Whenever I heard that he would be Su Haitang's bootlicker in the plot, my heart felt like I had eaten a fly, and was filled with a deadly nausea.

[After luring Xiao Yelin away from the mountain, the second brother threw Su Haitang into the guards' courtyard?]

[Unfortunately, Su Haitang's system seems useless on ordinary days, but it becomes useful at critical moments.]

[After Second Brother left, the system automatically drained Su Haitang's health points, activated its spatial transfer ability, and transferred her to Xiao Yelin's room.]

Shen Yaoxing's plan failed, but fortunately, Su Haitang's mission was not completed either.

Xiao Yelin led his men to hunt down the disguised Chen Yaoxing everywhere, but they didn't find any trace of him until nightfall, so he returned to the palace unwillingly.

Then, he saw Su Haitang who had just woken up and was arguing with the system in the room.

When Su Haitang saw the system prompt about deducting her life points, she was furious and kept complaining that the system deducted her life points without her permission and for fifty days.

That's fifty days, and they deducted it without any hesitation. Su Haitang was really worried that she would die before the task was completed because her health points were deducted.

Of course, Xiao Yelin couldn't hear her quarrel with the system.

In his eyes, Su Haitang was in a daze, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

At this point, the aura of being a heartthrob had long since worn off, and Xiao Yelin had completely calmed down and would not be easily moved by her.

He knew very well that it was already so late, and no matter how important the matter was, it would be inappropriate to keep her any longer.

Once it gets out, it will definitely bring him trouble.

So he ordered her to be sent back.

In just a short moment, Chen Yaoxing's mood was like riding a roller coaster, up and down.

When he heard that the system used its magical power to send Su Haitang back to Xiao Yelin's room, he was extremely nervous and couldn't help but sweat in his hands.

It wasn't until I heard the news that Su Haitang had failed in his mission that I finally felt relieved.

At this moment, he received admiring looks from his parents, elder brother and Shen Qingyi.

The corners of Chen Yaoxing's lips curled up, and he felt very proud.

midnight.

The time limit ended and the mission ended in failure. After Su Haitang was punished by lightning, the mission was refreshed.

At this time, Chen Wan was sleeping soundly.

In the blink of an eye, it's a new day.

Under the supervision of Jing Yuanzi, the Duke's Mansion began a rapid feng shui transformation.

Do the whole act.

Shen Mu "introduced" Jing Yuanzi to Shen Yuanhong, and thus Jing Yuanzi officially became a guest of honor in the Shen family.

Build a dream home.

Just like yesterday, Shen Wan was placed on Shen Qingyi's bed, and the two sisters lay together.

Shen Wan was sitting with her little feet up, her mind wandering. Shen Qingyi was listening to her wandering thoughts and telling her some things she had never said before.

At the table, Mrs. Shen looked at the account book seriously, occasionally looking up and glancing at the two sisters with a smile in her eyes.

"Madam, this was delivered by the housekeeper himself. I asked this servant to give it to you."

Suddenly, Xiao Tao came in from outside, walked up to Mrs. Shen in small steps, and presented a letter with both hands.

Mrs. Shen took it and took a look at it, a smile appearing on her face.

"Mom, what is this? Is it a letter? Who wrote it?"

The two sisters' attention was drawn and they turned their heads to look over.

Madam Shen smiled softly, put down the letter, and said, "It was written by your aunt to your father."

"aunt?"

Shen Qingyi was stunned. It had been a long time since her aunt had written to her. She remembered that the last time her mother wrote to her aunt was when she was pregnant with her younger sister, inviting her to come back.

My aunt wrote back at that time, saying that she was not feeling well, but she would make arrangements.

[Oh, I almost forgot, I have an aunt named Shen Chuchu, who married far away in Nanzhou Prefecture.]

[My father had seven brothers and sisters in total. However, apart from my father, my seventh uncle, and my aunt, one of the remaining uncles went missing when he was very young, and the others were all left unraised, having died at a young age.]

[This aunt who married far away was the fifth child and was three years older than my seventh uncle.]

As the saying goes, when one person prospers, everyone around him prospers. After my father became successful, my aunt also became a sought-after daughter in Kyoto, and was even courted by many noblemen in the capital.

But my aunt didn't like any of them. Instead, she fell in love with the young master of a wealthy businessman who came to Beijing for a tour.

[Alas, speaking of this, I have to sigh. There are so many love-brained people out there, it's impossible to kill them all. Yes, this is another bloody story of a love-brained person who gave his heart to the wrong person and was framed and killed tragically.]

Madam Shen and Shen Qingyi, upon hearing the little milk bag's thoughts, couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

Is Little Milk Bag saying that Chu Chu will be plotted and killed tragically?

[I remember that at this point in the story, my aunt also wrote to me.]

【I wrote this letter to tell my father that she will be back soon.】

[Yes, yes, yes, my aunt is on her way now. She'll probably reach Haojing in eight or nine days.]

As for my aunt not coming to the full moon banquet, it was indeed because she was not feeling well. Furthermore, her husband and concubine were afraid that she would lose control after her return, and that their shameful deeds would be exposed, so they kept preventing my aunt from returning home.

Shen Qingyi was confused by these words, and her eyes subconsciously fell on the letter on the table.

What shameful thing did my aunt's husband do?

Also, since they don’t allow my aunt to come back, what is the situation now?

In the afternoon, Shen Yuanhong finished his business and came to see the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Shen gave him Shen Chuchu’s letter.

"Husband, my sister has sent me a letter. It's for you."

Seeing that the envelope was still unopened, Shen Yuanhong did not reach out to take it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it's from Chuchu, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Madam Shen chuckled and said, “Isn’t this written for you?”

"We're husband and wife, so what's the difference between you and me? You're Chuchu's eldest sister-in-law, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You can just read the letter she wrote. You don't have to wait for me."

"Oh, I see. Then my husband, please take a look at what my sister wrote in the letter."

Shen Yuanhong: "..."

He reached out to take the envelope, opened it, took out the letter, and handed it to Mrs. Shen. He then lifted up his robe and sat casually on the chair.

"Madam, please help your husband recite."

Looking at the letter in her hand, then at the man pouring tea on the chair, Mrs. Shen silently lowered her head and unfolded the letter, reading it at a glance.

Shen Wan was right. Shen Chuchu was indeed coming back. She wrote this letter before she left and asked the courier to deliver it as quickly as possible.

And she calculated the time. If everything went well, it would probably take another eight or nine days to arrive.

After finishing the letter, Shen Yuanhong put down the teacup in his hand, his face not looking very good.

"Is it just her and the child coming back? Where's Shangyou?"

Shang Yu is Shen Chuchu's wealthy husband, and Shang Yu is a wealthy family in Nanzhou Prefecture.

Madam Shen stuffed the letter into his hands and said, "I don't know. My sister didn't mention her brother-in-law in the letter."

[That bastard is busy with his business. There's something wrong with his business.]

If he hadn't been unable to escape, my aunt wouldn't have been able to come back.

On the bed, Shen Wan, who was held in Shen Qingyi's arms, responded at the right time.

Shen Yuanhong: "???"

What's going on?

Why did Xiao Waner call Shangyu a dog?

He also said that if he hadn't been unable to escape, Chuchu would not have been able to come back?

Could it be that that bastard dares to keep Chu Chu under house arrest?

Shen Yuanhong was completely confused, but that didn't stop him from getting furious every time he thought about Shang Yi.

He had felt from the beginning that the Shang man was not a good person, so he strongly opposed Chuchu marrying him.

But Chuchu was bewitched as if she had been drugged by a love potion, and she had to be with that guy. For that guy, she did not hesitate to disobey him several times.

It looked as if he would cut off all ties with him if he forcibly stopped him.

He only had this one sister, and he couldn't bear to become enemies with her, so he had to grit his teeth and agree.

Shen Chuchu married the man as she wished.

For eight years, apart from exchanging letters, she never came back once.

He was also very busy and was too lazy to go see her.

Therefore, the brother and sister have not seen each other for eight years.

Now, when he suddenly received the news that she was coming back, Shen Yuanhong felt very complicated.

Soon, everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Chuchu was coming back. During dinner, Shen Yuanhao came over, and the whole family gathered together for a rare occasion.

"Seventh Brother, if you have nothing to do these days, take a few people to pick up Chuchu. The journey is long, and she is a woman, so don't let anything happen to her."

Shen Yuanhong picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Shen Yuanhao, assigning him this task.

Shen Yuanhao had no objection, nodded, and said, "Okay."

"Well, then it's settled."

After saying that, Shen Yuanhong looked at Madam Shen again and said, "Madam, tomorrow you will instruct the housekeeper to clean up Chenxiang Garden. When Chuchu comes, she can live there."

"By the way, let's ask the butler to check if anything is missing and prepare everything in advance."

"OK."

Mrs. Shen also nodded and agreed.

[Oh my, my aunt is coming back soon. I want to see how stupid she is to be deceived like that.]

Everyone: “???”

As for the fact that Shen Chuchu was stupid, they all admitted it.

But, what exactly was I deceived into?

Little Naibao mostly praises others and rarely criticizes others. This is the first time she has heard such words in her heart.
