Chapter 51: Ice and Fire
As expected, Shen Tianyou was tripped by something as soon as he stepped into the Duke of Zhen's Mansion. He fell to his knees in front of Su Bowen.
Su Bowen looked at his daughter meaningfully and said with concern: "Master Shen, are you okay?" But he didn't move.
Su Xiaoxiao saw the black smoke above his head and knew that this man had done a lot of bad things.
[Bad old man, kneel more often in the future to atone for my father's sins! ]
Shen Tianyou felt a sudden pain in his knees and slowly got up with the help of Su Bohao.
He asked concernedly, "Sir Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Tianyou waved his hand, "No problem!"
Sisters Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingyu followed behind. Shen Qingyu's face was full of anticipation, especially when her big eyes saw Su Xiaoxiao, happiness was written all over her face.
Shen Qingyao was not interested and was listless. She really didn't understand why her grandfather insisted on bringing her to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The oldest boy in their family was only ten years old, and she was too lazy to even look at him.
Yes, Shen Qingyao's first priority now is to find a marriage as soon as possible. She has reached the age of marriage and is already at the right age to get married.
But her parents are dead, and her grandfather is less and less concerned about her. She can only find a way out on her own.
Liu had already prepared the table and warmly invited everyone to sit down. On Su Bohao's left was Liu, and on his right was Shen Tianyou. They really looked like a family of three.
Su Bowen sat down next to Liu holding Su Xiaoxiao in his arms. Shen Qingyu sat next to Su Bowen without saying a word, so that she was closer to Su Xiaoxiao!
Everyone at the table, each with their own agenda, sat down like this. Shen Bohao hurriedly raised his glass to toast Shen Tianyou: "Sir Shen, thank you for giving me the opportunity to go to the Ministry of War for training, and thank you Second Miss Shen for saving my life. The Shen family is my second parents."
[No, no, no, they are your biological parents!]
It's no secret that Su Bohao has been in the Ministry of War for a while, and he really looks like a decent person.
Shen Tianyou was very relieved and drank a cup of wine. The meal was filled with insignificant polite remarks. Su Bowen wanted to kill the couple with a sword, but he had a wife and children and could not act impulsively.
Su Bohao diligently picked up a piece of meat for Shen Tianyou. Shen Tianyou took it tremblingly. He had a son again.
Shen Tianyou put the piece of meat into his mouth with great care. This was the first time his son picked up food for him. He was so happy!
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Tianyou with dissatisfaction: [What if you didn't eat meat? Why are you showing off? Watch out for your teeth!]
"Ouch!" Shen Tianyou twitched in pain. It seemed that his teeth were broken.
"Sir Shen, what's wrong with you?" Liu couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.
Shen Tianyou spat out the piece of meat, and two teeth were clearly imprinted on his teeth.
Su Bohao was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. In all honesty, he only gave him a piece of fish meat, it was fish meat!
Liu was also panicked. She glared at Zheng Yaxian and said in a low voice: "How did you do it? Wasn't there an eye on the kitchen?"
Zheng Yaxian was incredulous. The mother-in-law was not nitpicking. Who has ever heard of people knocking out teeth from eating fish?
She was not to blame: "Mother, the fish meat is stewed very badly. Could it be that Lord Shen himself has bad teeth?"
Zheng Yaxian's true words brought the atmosphere to the freezing point.
Su Bowen looked at his daughter in his arms. It couldn't be such a coincidence!
Su Xiaoxiao, the instigator, was holding a bottle of milk and sitting in her father's arms obediently. It had nothing to do with me!
Perhaps Shen Tianyou also felt that he could not blame the dishes, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's old!"
Shen Qingyu's mind was all on Su Xiaoxiao. She said to Liu gently and respectfully: "Grandma, I'm done. The little sister is very cute. Can I take the little sister to play for a while?"
Su Bowen held Xiaoxiao's hand a little tighter and said distantly: "Xiaoxiao is shy!"
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative to reach out and move to Shen Qingyu's side.
"My sister seems to want me to hold her!" Shen Qingyu stubbornly stretched out her hand.
Mrs. Liu's smile did not reach her eyes: "Bowen, let Qingyu take care of the child for a while, and you should have a good drink with your Uncle Shen. When you were a child, Uncle Shen often came to see you."
Su Bowen tried hard to force a smile, but his hand was not loosened.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Shen Qingyu's hand: "If you like playing with me, then let's play together!"
Shen Tianyou also helped, saying: "The two children get along well, so let them play together for a while. Qingyu is very stable, don't worry!
Su Bowen had to let go of his hand, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off Su Xiaoxiao for a moment.
Seeing this, Su Bohao stood up, put his arm around Su Bowen's shoulders and said: "Brother, I have caused you a lot of trouble these years. I was ignorant before, and I will never make mistakes again in the future. Let's have a drink together! "
Liu and Shen Tianyou were also there to smooth things over. When Su Bowen finished his glass of wine, Shen Qingyu was already holding Su Xiaoxiao and playing on a chair next to the dining room.
Fortunately, everyone was within sight, so Su Bowen felt relieved and just wanted to end this awkward drinking party quickly and take his daughter home.
Shen Qingyu turned her back to everyone, and her smiling face was now Cold as ice, she stretched out her hand directly to Su Xiaoxiao's neck. She had discovered last time that the bracelet had shrunk and was hanging on Su Xiaoxiao's neck.
Su Xiaoxiao felt itchy all over and couldn't help but giggle.
Liu smiled and said, "They are having a lot of fun. Qingyu is such a good kid. To be honest, it's all her credit that Bohao is safe and sound!" "
Su Bowen felt relieved when he saw Xiaoxiao having fun. After all, Shen Qingyu was only a ten-year-old child and she was in his house, so she would not do anything out of line.
Shen Qingyu touched the red line on Su Xiaoxiao's neck, and the joy in her eyes was about to overflow. The space for the bracelet was within her grasp.
Su Xiaoxiao was still giggling, but there was a faint aura gathering on the shrunken bracelet.
Shen Qingyu greedily grabbed the ring-sized bracelet. In just a moment, her hand seemed to be melted, but there was no abnormality on the surface.
"Ah! "Shen Qingyu retracted her hand and cried out softly. In order to avoid being discovered her dirty thoughts, she endured it.
Could it be that the bracelet has already recognized Su Xiaoxiao as its owner? Impossible. The demons have been looking for the bracelet for many years. Even if they get the bracelet, they can barely get the spiritual energy inside, but the bracelet is like a dead object and will not protect its owner.
She silently gathered her energy, and flames appeared in her hand. The evil fire of the demons is extremely powerful. She must get the bracelet space.
However, the bracelet that was hot just now was now freezing cold. It was made of thousand-year-old ice condensed by thousand-year-old spiritual power.
Before she got close, the fire on Shen Qingyu's hand had been extinguished. A huge cold air attacked her. Her hand looked fine on the surface, but in fact, it was frozen inside and could not move.
The double world of ice and fire made Shen Qingyu feel so painful that if she did not have the blood of the demon clan, she would have turned into ashes by now.
Although she is lucky to be alive now, her right hand can no longer move. She feels that her blood vessels are frozen and melted again and again, and it feels like purgatory.
Shen Qingyu's eyes flashed with ferocity. She couldn't take the bracelet directly, so she just had to break the rope. She was determined to get the space of the bracelet.
