Chapter 240 Peach Pink Girl

The two people in the room had no idea what was happening outside. Xiao Yuan was half lying on her legs, looking at her with blurry eyes.

His hand suddenly covered her belly, "We've been married for so long, why is there still no movement?"

Shen Anan's face froze, and then he immediately returned to normal and said, "What nonsense, offspring are all fate, it should not be the time yet."

"Really?" Xiao Yuan frowned in doubt.

Shen Anan did not answer again.

Xiao Yuan was an extremely perceptive person, and he was afraid that something she said would be wrong and make him notice something unusual.

It was late at night, the two of them were lying in bed, Shen Anan was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly heard him say, "No movement, maybe I'm not trying hard enough."

Her eyelids twitched violently, and she hugged the quilt and dared not move, for fear that he would find out that she was not asleep and bring trouble to her.

——

In the Shen Mansion, Shen Yunbai stared at the woman kneeling below him, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you sure that your sister was pregnant and was killed by someone?"

"I'm sure," her pink eyes were firm, "that man's family had arranged for him to marry a girl from a wealthy family. He was afraid that the affair with my sister would get out and ruin the marriage, so he cruelly killed my sister."

"Master Shen, this is one corpse and two lives. This cannot be tolerated. You must make the decision for me. I don't believe that there is no justice in this world."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" A light male voice was heard as the door creaked open, and a younger, weak-looking boy walked in.

Tao Fen looked up and was startled by the coldness and darkness on his face.

"Sir Shen, this is..."

Shen Yunbai glanced at Chen Tian and said, "He's just a friend, you can talk about it."

"Yes." Taofen still retreated unnoticed, trying to stay as far away from Chen Tian as possible.

"Although I did not personally witness him killing my sister, I have evidence to prove that he and my sister had an affair. My sister also told me in person that he is the father of the child in her belly."

"Sir, my sister is gentle and kind, and she would never have a grudge against anyone. I can't think of anyone else except her."

Perhaps because he had been locked up for too long, Chen Tian was surrounded by a gloomy mood, and his brows became even colder. "In other words, you have no evidence, only suspicion."

Taofen said boldly, "Suspicion and affair, plus the child in my sister's belly, aren't they enough to convict that bastard?"

“Hmph, you can try officials whenever you want. Do you know what the first rule is when a citizen sues an official?” Chen Tian’s eyes were cold.

"I know, it's the punishment, only after being punished can I file a petition, I am willing to be punished, as long as I can avenge my sister, I am willing to do anything."

Chen Tian lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Yunbai inconspicuously.

"A prostitute is a lowly person. You are suing an official for her. Besides, you are just guessing and have no real evidence." Shen Yunbai frowned and shook his head.

"Are you afraid of that family, sir?" Tao Fen said through gritting her teeth.

"How dare you! Who gave you the courage to speak like that?"

"Step back." Shen Yunbai raised his hand and asked the servant to leave.

"Miss, you didn't understand what I meant. It's not that I don't want to help, but you don't have any evidence. If you don't have any evidence, you can tie up the son of an official. If it turns out to be a false accusation, I will be punished."

Tao Fen looked at Shen Yunbai and suddenly understood something. "If I have evidence, would you dare to redress my sister's injustice and severely punish the traitor?"

"If there is evidence, then of course it is possible."

"Okay." Taofen stared at him with a firm gaze, "I am willing to be a witness and see my sister die at the hands of the young master of the Chen family."

Chen Tian raised his eyebrows, "But didn't you just say that you didn't see it? Are you giving false testimony?"

Her pink eyes were filled with sarcasm. "I want to testify and sue the Chen family. My Lord, just investigate. If the final result proves that what I said is false, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities."

Shen Yunbai didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Chen Tian. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then looked at Tao Fen together.

——

I came back from the morning court this day.

Shen Anan was playing with the bracelet in question in the house, wondering whether to wear it or not.

"My son-in-law is back." Mo Xiang's voice came from outside. She immediately put away the bracelet and looked outside. Xiao Yuan had already taken off his outer robe and entered the inner room.

He didn't say anything, but sat down in the chair next to Shen Anan, lowering his eyebrows and looking at her, "What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Didn't your morning court session go well today?"

"No." Xiao Yuan said in a calm tone.

"Is it because your father is making you unhappy again, or is it because Chen Tian has done something weird again?"

“No.”

Shen Anan pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Yuan, "Then what's wrong with you?"

He doesn't tell me when asked and I can't guess correctly. It's annoying.

Just when she was about to lose her patience, Xiao Yuan finally raised his head and glanced at her.

"The Emperor has given your elder brother a position, and he has been attending the morning court recently."

"Yes, I heard you say that." The eldest brother has been managing the troops in East City. The position is just a title, so the emperor gave it to him.

"During the morning court sessions in recent days, your sister-in-law has harnessed a carriage and personally gone to the palace gate to pick up your eldest brother and take him home."

"Well, then what?" Shen Anan looked at him in confusion.

Xiao Yuan glanced at her, his breathing becoming noticeably heavier, "Nothing."

How come there's nothing happening again?

Shen Anan looked at his face that didn't look like anything, and said hesitantly, "You mean, you want me to pick you up too?"

"..." Xiao Yuan turned his head away and said nothing.

Shen Anan was a little speechless. Wasn't it good to just concentrate on pursuing the throne? She was thinking about all sorts of things every day. Was she so annoying in her previous life?

No, it should be said that she was more annoying than him in her previous life.

"Then I will also harness the carriage to pick you up tomorrow."

It’s a good opportunity to bring Qingyue with me and try to see if I can meet Shen Yunbai.

After a long while, Xiao Yuan finally said "hmm", but he didn't sound very happy.

Shen Anan wears the bracelet in the box during the day, and takes it off when Xiao Yuan comes back.

Now her mentality has become much more stable, and she is less resistant than before. She just feels that it is not suitable to have a child at this juncture. She is very casual about it, but if she really gets pregnant, she will not give up the child.

In the morning, she squinted at Xiao Yuan who was getting dressed and putting on shoes, then closed her eyes again, her body feeling tired and sore.

"I'm leaving." Xiao Yuan came to the bedside and said to her.

"Um."

"How long are you going to sleep?"

"Wake up." Shen Anan said dazedly, not noticing Xiao Yuan's suddenly bad expression.

"When will you wake up?"

"I..." Shen Anan forced herself to open her eyes, met Xiao Yuan's eyes, and suddenly remembered something.

When she saw her sister-in-law today, she had to ask her how she was so diligent and not sleepy.

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are newlyweds, and they are very much in love. If they wait for a year or so, it won't be like this anymore. You..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Xiao Yuan had already left angrily.
