Chapter 238 Crawling and Floating with His Head in His Hands, Shen Chu Did Not Disdain Him

Marquis Changning was still muttering about his incredibly tragic and resentful youth.

Looking up, I saw a headless corpse swaying on the door, as if it were about to approach at any moment, holding a head in its arms.

A ghost came rushing in with its head in its hands.

There was also a chilling aura that seemed to emanate from hell, giving me goosebumps.

"Look at my head, it's so big and round. Shall I take your head off and we can have a head-to-head bumping game?"

Marquis Changning was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he huddled tightly under the table, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.

"No...no..."

"Shen Zhihai, guess what happens when someone is beheaded? Does their head feel the body disappear first?"

Did your body feel your head disappear first?

Marquis Changning was trembling as he hugged the table leg.

He didn't want to guess, nor did he want to know.

I could hear the wind blowing past my ear.

Marquis Changning watched helplessly as the "head" floated toward him.

Fear and terror of death completely terrified him; his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed under the table.

Shen Chu was dumbfounded.

When the shadow of Pei Yuan crawling upside down startled Marquis Changning, she decisively tore off her hair tie.

With disheveled hair, he imitated his father Shen Zhixing's voice, which completely terrified Marquis Changning and made him blurt out the secret he had suppressed in his heart for many years.

She was filled with resentment.

The ancestors of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion and the Changning Marquis's Mansion came from the same clan. Later, the Changning Marquis's Mansion declined, and her grandfather, the Ning'an Marquis, took pity on the younger generation of the family and allowed the Changning Marquis and other members of the Shen family to study in the family school.

Because the Marquis of Changning was the same age as his father, Shen Zhixing, his grandfather personally taught them both and often guided them in their studies.

Little did I expect that my grandfather's charitable heart would raise such an ungrateful child.

It turned out that the Marquis of Changning had personally stolen his father's family letter and secretly given it to the Feng family, which gave the Feng family the opportunity to find someone to imitate his father's handwriting and write a letter of treason and collusion with the enemy.

No wonder the Marquis of Changning tried his best to stop her from investigating the case of the Marquis of Ning'an's mansion.

She initially thought it was due to the authority of the Crown Prince and the Feng family, but she never expected that his despicable actions also played a part.

No wonder the Crown Prince was so protective of Marquis Changning; they were all in the same boat.

She clenched her fists, wanting to rush out and beat up Marquis Changning.

Just then, Pei Yuan suddenly leaped up and hung himself on top of the display cabinet.

The room was completely dark, and the height of the display cabinet completely blocked his head, casting only a faint shadow of his body on the door.

It looks like a headless ghost.

His other hand slowly lifted something up.

It was hard to see clearly in the darkness, but it vaguely looked round, like a human head.

And so the scene above came about.

Marquis Changning was completely terrified and fainted. The study finally fell silent.

Pei Yuan jumped down from the display case and threw away the "head" he was holding.

The "head" floated lightly to the ground.

When Shen Chu got closer, she realized that it was the lantern that Marquis Changning had dropped at the door earlier.

she......

That's outrageous.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuan used two tricks, crawling and floating with his head in his hands, to scare the Marquis of Changning unconscious, and also unexpectedly tricked out another participant in the case of his father - General Li.

She's one step closer to clearing her father's name and the Ning'an Marquis's mansion's name.

All of this is thanks to Pei Yuan.

She was filled with excitement, unaware that Pei Yuan was feeling incredibly frustrated.

What am I doing?

I, the dignified sixth prince, have always been unrestrained and unruly, yet I am utterly flustered by a kiss on my Adam's apple.

It crawled along and floated around with its head in its hands.

What does Shen Chu think of me?

"I....."

"you....."

They both spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time.

Pei Yuan paused, then swallowed back the words he was about to say: "I'm not usually like this," and instead said:

"How do you intend to deal with Marquis Changning? I can have him arrested and imprisoned by the Flying Eagle Guard right now."

Shen Chu thought for a moment.

"He is a key link in the Ning'an Marquis's case. We can't arrest him now, lest we alert the enemy."

I have a good idea.

Pei Yuan: "Tell me about it."

Shen Chu said softly, "Your Highness, lend me a Flying Eagle Guard with superb lightness skills, and make me a fake head. I can come to him every night to play head-to-head bumping games. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Pei Yuan's eyes lit up instantly in the darkness.

Shen Chu actually suggested using the "head-holding float" trick to scare Marquis Changning.

Does this mean he didn't dislike himself just now?

"Your Highness thinks this idea is bad?"

"No, I think it's great. I suppose Marquis Changning won't have time to bother you anymore."

Shen Chu curled her lips, relit the tinderbox, and went forward to pick up the "Ode to Mountains and Rivers" that she had thrown on the ground to scare Marquis Changning.

She gently wiped away the dust and carefully placed it in her bosom.

Pei Yuan's ears twitched slightly. "What did you use to scare Marquis Changning just now? It seemed to be a memorial?"

Shen Chu gave a soft "hmm".

"It is a landscape poem written by Prefect Shen when he was young and famous. It was stolen by Marquis Changning. Now it can be used as evidence."

"Ode to Mountains and Rivers?" Pei Yuan asked in surprise. "I have read a handwritten copy. The article is profound, elegant, and magnificent, truly amazing."

While reading it, I felt a strange sense of familiarity and couldn't help but wonder what kind of extraordinary talent the person who could write such a wonderful article must be.

How can there be such a person of extraordinary talent in this world, someone who inspires such admiration?

When Shen Chu heard him mention her father, her eyes welled up with tears, and she blurted out the name without thinking.

He had traveled the world, traversing mountains and rivers, and had also stayed up all night reading, turning over classic texts to solve a single question.

What is in one's heart, what is seen with one's eyes, and what is written down is the true feeling.

Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tsk, the way you blurted it out... You seem to know a lot about Prefect Shen's affairs?"

Shen Chu paused for a moment, then said, "When I was a child, I loved reading his 'Ode to Mountains and Rivers,' so I asked my master about his story."

Pei Yuan chuckled softly.

"So you also like his 'Ode to Mountains and Rivers.' Well, that's right, the article you wrote criticizing me when we first met..."

He has quite the air of Prefect Shen, which shows I read a lot of his articles when I was young.

No, that's not true.

Shen Chu's eyes stung with tears.

When she was little, she was naughty and mischievous, and all she knew was how to chase after Brother Zhan to play.

Her father tried to teach her to recite the Ode to Mountains and Rivers several times, but she always managed to get away with it by being cute.

In the end, Brother Zhan memorized it, but she couldn't even memorize the beginning.

Recalling the past, a deep, persistent pain welled up in her heart, like being pricked by needles.

Even though she had memorized the "Ode to Mountains and Rivers" perfectly during her school years, she still couldn't help but feel regretful that she hadn't memorized it with her father back then.

Pei Yuan seemed to notice her sudden drop in mood and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Shen Chu came to her senses and said softly, "It's almost dawn, let's go back."

The two left quietly.

The next morning, a loud shout came from the study of the Marquis of Changning.

Then, Marquis Changning ran out from inside, disheveled and looking terrified.

"Help! Help!"

"Someone has broken into the Marquis's residence to harm me. Search the area immediately and capture the thief."

The guards received their orders and dispersed to search separately.

When several guards rushed into Shen Chu's courtyard.

Hongxiu's eyes lit up.

Tsk, young master, you're absolutely right.

And so, the time for a miscarriage has come.

Hongxiu rubbed her hands together, rolled up her sleeves, and, with her pregnant belly sticking out, pounced on the guards.

She was longing for peanut stewed pig's trotters, red date and crucian carp soup, black chicken soup, and pigeon soup.

He's already waving at her.

Pei Yuan opened the door at that moment.
