Shen Ningyuan followed his gaze.
There was no one on the slope over there.
Shen Ningyuan withdrew his gaze and put the sword on his neck again.
He asked coldly, "How can I trust you if you don't even want to say this?"
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, Shen Haobai quickly advised, "Yuan'er, can you please trust me just this once? Today's assassination truly has nothing to do with Xie Wanzhou. I swear on my own behalf, okay?"
As he spoke, Shen Haobai raised his right hand and was about to swear to the sky.
Seeing him like this, Shen Ningyuan became anxious.
He quickly stopped her and said, "Brother, don't do this. I trust you, don't I?"
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan gritted his teeth and retracted the sword that was on Luo Ziyuan's neck.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
She could see that Shen Haobai had something to hide.
But it doesn't matter, since he doesn't want to say it, then forget it.
She will investigate.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan glared at Luo Ziyuan fiercely.
Luo Ziyuan suddenly felt aggrieved and said with a bitter face: "Sister Ning Yuan, this assassination really has nothing to do with us. For the sake of my pretty face, can you please trust me this time?"
Seeing him pretending, Shen Ningyuan became even more angry and warned him coldly: "Luo Ziyuan, go back and tell Xie Wanzhou that no matter whether today's assassination has anything to do with him, I will definitely investigate his plots against the Shen family behind the scenes!"
Luo Ziyuan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "You...you know everything?"
Did Shen Ningyuan see through Xie Wanzhou's silent protection of the Shen family behind the scenes?
Shen Ningyuan's expression changed instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then why were you pretending to be confused just now?"
Luo Ziyuan paused and opened his mouth to speak.
But at this time, Shen Potian finished dealing with the last assassin, rushed over covered in blood, and asked with a worried look on his face: "Yuan'er, are you okay?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "I'm fine, is Daddy injured?"
General Shen smiled nonchalantly: "It's all the blood of these bastards. Yuan'er, don't worry. Daddy is not injured."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly swept over Luo Ziyuan.
General Shen frowned and said, "Where did this androgynous thing come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ziyuan's eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to refute.
But when he saw General Shen panting, he immediately held his breath and didn't say a word.
Shen Ningyuan said coldly: "Dad, ignore him, let's go back."
General Shen nodded: "Okay."
Having said that, Shen Ningyuan got straight into the carriage.
Shen Haobai hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to explain something to her.
But because General Shen was present, he shut up in disappointment.
He just silently jumped into the carriage and drove away.
The father and son, one driving the car and the other riding a horse, escorted Shen Ningyuan back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Luo Ziyuan watched them leave with a gloomy expression.
I originally wanted to help, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this?
It’s over, it’s over. He seems to have left a bad impression on the young widow.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.
Luo Ziyuan didn't even need to turn around and said directly: "The little widow seems to have some misunderstandings about you, what should I do?"
Xie Wanzhou walked to Luo Ziyuan's side and watched with him as the carriage disappeared into the depths of the woods.
After a while, Xie Wanzhou said puzzledly, "I see, but I don't understand why she thinks I arranged this assassination."
"I don't know, have you offended her in some way?" Luo Ziyuan asked again.
Xie Wanzhou shook his head, "No."
"You said that, do you believe it yourself?" Luo Ziyuan rolled his eyes at him, "I can see that the little widow really wanted to kill me just now. If Shen Haobai hadn't stopped me, I would have died long ago!"
As he spoke, Luo Ziyuan shrank his neck: "In my entire life, this is the first time a woman has dared to hold a sword to my neck."
Xie Wanzhou responded coldly: "You deserve it. You asked for it."
"What do you mean you deserve it? I was just trying to help, who knew she'd react so strongly?"
Luo Ziyuan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xie Wanzhou: "By the way, when she said 'I'm yours' just now, her tone was a little strange. Is there something you didn't tell me?"
Xie Wanzhou: "..."
Luo Ziyuan looked distressed, and Xie Wanzhou said nothing.
Luo Ziyuan pressed on, "Xie Wanzhou, are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Wanzhou: "."
What do you want him to say?
Tell Luo Ziyuan that Shen Ningyuan thinks they are a couple and that he is his mistress outside the palace?
Sorry, he couldn't say it.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanzhou stopped talking nonsense with Luo Ziyuan and turned to look at the corpse in front of him.
"With so many assassins, Xie Yumin has invested a lot of money."
Xie Wanzhou's brows darkened: "It seems that he is really going to take action against the Shen family when he returns to Beijing this time!"
Luo Ziyuan also calmed down and asked seriously: "What did they think about your previous visit to Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue?"
Xie Wanzhou shook his head: "They haven't responded to me yet, but they are smart people and know what to choose."
"General Shen has always maintained neutrality. This matter... is very difficult!"
"It's okay, they'll figure it out."
This is a matter of life and death for the Shen family, and General Shen knows what to choose.
As he turned to leave, Xie Wanzhou suddenly reminded him, "By the way, you are not allowed to harass her again."
