In her past life, she defied her father and brothers and exhausted all her efforts to support that scum of a man to the throne, only to have him slaughter her entire family in return.
Reborn ...
solve?
They haven't even figured out exactly where the problem lies.
Shen Wan said, "Chen Feng knows why my father beat the Third Young Master to death, but I need to inform you first, and then you can decide whether to tell me or not."
Xie Jingyan frowned.
He looked at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng said, "Your Excellency just vomited, so I'd better not say anything more, lest you vomit again."
Well, Chen Feng didn't even plan to tell Xie Jingyan, let alone tell her. Shen Wan was speechless. She just wanted to know what disgusting things Shen Dian had done at Baihua Tower. Why was it so difficult?
Xie Jingyan dismissed Shen Wan, saying, "You can go out now."
Shen Wan, "..."
Shen Wan thought she was hallucinating.
They were talking about matters concerning the Marquis of Pingyang's residence, but they sent her away and wouldn't let her hear it.
Are you kidding me?!
Shen Wan was about to leave in a huff when Chen Feng said, "My lord, I didn't say that because the princess is here. I was genuinely worried that you would feel nauseous."
Xie Jingyan said, "I'm not so bad that I can't stand hearing anything disgusting."
Chen Feng knew, of course, that his master wasn't so bad that he couldn't stand the slightest disgusting thing, but the problem was that what he was about to say wasn't just any kind of disgusting thing.
Chen Feng replied, "Even my subordinates almost vomited from disgust."
Xie Jingyan's brows furrowed deeply.
Chen Feng said, "I didn't say it because I truly care about the Prince and Princess."
Chen Feng had an expression that said, "Don't ask, sir. Your subordinate won't tell you." Xie Jingyan knew his bodyguards; they wouldn't act like this unless they were genuinely afraid of disgusting him.
Xie Jingyan didn't want to ask any more about the disgusting things that happened at the Pingyang Marquis's residence, and no matter how curious Shen Wan was, she could only give up on that idea.
Without disturbing Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan's conversation, Chen Feng withdrew. Ever since Shen Wan entered the room, Chen Feng could no longer move around freely in Moyuxuan. He either had to stay in the study or stay in the tree with Chen Yu, waiting for Xie Jingyan to summon him.
As soon as they climbed the tree, Chen Yu asked, "What exactly did you hear today?"
He actually went there too, but eavesdropping on just one person was enough. Chen Feng eavesdropped on the inner room, while he guarded the main hall.
Chen Feng looked at Chen Yu, who said, "I'm not afraid of being disgusted."
Chen Feng then said, "Don't overestimate yourself."
Chen Yu said, "If you can make me vomit, this month's salary is yours."
There's no reason not to accept money offered to you.
Actually, Chen Feng had planned to tell Chen Yu that he wasn't going to give him money. He needed someone to testify for him. He was genuinely afraid of disgusting his master, which was why he didn't tell him. Besides, he needed someone to share the burden of such a disgusting thing with him.
Chen Feng whispered, "Young Master Shen, Young Master Wu, and the girls from Baihualou are forming a human pyramid."
"...That's it?" Chen Yu asked with disdain.
It's just two men playing with one woman; it's a bit disgusting, but not enough to make him want to vomit.
Chen Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master Chen is in the middle."
Chen Yu, “…”
He stared blankly at Chen Feng.
Chen Yu, who could kill without batting an eye, suddenly found his mind blank. He thought of a possibility and swallowed hard as he looked at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng said, "It's exactly what you think."
If it weren't for the utterly shameful nature of the incident, how could the Marquis of Pingyang have been so adamant about killing the Third Young Master Shen? If this were to spread, the Marquis of Pingyang's heir would be the subject of gossip and pointing fingers whenever he went out, and even the other gentlemen of the Marquis of Pingyang's household would be unable to hold their heads high.
The thought of a noble young master being played with by a girl from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and Young Master Wu is enough to make anyone sick.
The old lady of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion threatened the Pingyang Marquis with suicide over such a shameful thing. No wonder in the princess's dream, they conspired with the Prince of Jin to kill the Pingyang Marquis and his heir.
Before Chen Feng could say anything more, Chen Yu raised her hand to interrupt him, forcing herself to suppress her nausea as she said, "Enough, stop talking..."
Chen Feng reached out his hand.
Chen Yu, true to his word, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and tossed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took the silver, still unable to understand how a young master from a marquis's family in Shen Dian could have fallen to such a state; it was simply outrageous.
Shen Dian's downfall was ultimately caused by the ambition of the old lady and Shen Ying. In order to become the principal wife of Prince Jin, she did not hesitate to use Young Master Wu to scheme against Shen Wan. In the end, she reaped what she sowed and dragged Shen Rong into it. Young Master Wu was a regular at brothels and taverns. He probably spent more time in brothels than in his own mansion. The Third Madam actually dared to think that she could make him her husband, a man who was not even worthy of a proper marriage.
Shen Rong went back to complain, which made the Third Madam so angry that she lost her mind and actually ordered her son Shen Dian to go to the brothel to arrest Young Master Wu.
Although Shen Dian was eighteen years old, he was still quite well-behaved. This was mainly because he used to follow Shen Li around. Although Shen Li had affairs with the maids in his own courtyard, he kept it a secret and never went to brothels when he went out. Young masters of this age are naturally curious about matters between men and women, but these curiosity was suppressed.
Shen Dian was ordered to go to the brothel to arrest his cousin and brother-in-law. He went there in a rage, kicked the door open, and was immediately shocked by the shocking scene inside.
Shen Dian, his face flushed, left the room, only to be surrounded by girls who had come running after hearing the commotion. They reached out and touched his face, neck, chest, and even more intimate areas, scaring Shen Dian so much that he forgot his mission to catch the culprit and fled in panic.
Young Master Wu was dragged out of the brothel by the servants who brought him there.
The third wife gave Young Master Wu a severe scolding, but the trip to the brothel left an indelible memory for Shen Dian, making him restless.
The third wife ordered Shen Dian to keep an eye on Young Master Wu and forbid him from going to brothels again. Unfortunately, Young Master Wu was not one to listen to advice. The more he was forbidden to go, the more he insisted on going. He was already married, but he couldn't even touch his wife. He would rather touch other women than not be allowed to. He might as well just die.
After being stopped by Shen Dian twice, Young Master Wu got angry and forbade him to go, so he dragged Shen Dian along with him.
At first, Shen Dian refused, but he couldn't resist being provoked. After another cup of spiked wine, Shen Dian experienced what it meant to feel like he was floating on air. From then on, he not only stopped stopping Young Master Wu, but even helped Young Master Wu cover for him.
Young Master Wu was a philanderer; he was not only a regular at brothels, but also frequented brothels...
He readily embraced good but quickly turned to evil. In just a short time, Shen Dian was completely led astray, to a degree that no one in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion could even imagine.
Shen Jing wanted to beat Young Master Wu to death. Steward Li had followed Shen Jing for many years and knew his temper well. However, there were some things that even if Shen Jing was the Marquis of Pingyang, he couldn't do, well, at least not openly. So, his trusted confidant took care of it and had those two unlucky servants do it. As long as they left him alive and didn't kill him, the Wu family would have no choice but to swallow their anger and suffer in silence.
These sordid things, if told, would offend the ears of the prince and princess. If they were told, they would be too disgusted to eat dinner, let alone breakfast.
Xie Jingyan had something to attend to, so Shen Wan didn't disturb him and went back to her room.
After only drinking a cup of tea, Dong'er came in to report, "Your Highness, Steward Zhou has invited two doctors to the residence."
