Chapter 296 I Don’t Want to Invite Him to Dinner
"Nonsense!" Shen Yizhou's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became even more fierce and terrifying. "Shen Yan is becoming more and more ignorant. How dare she speak nonsense!"
"If you weren't your biological child, how could your father have raised you to this age?"
"Don't worry, once I find that girl, I will definitely seek justice for you!"
But where did Shen Yan go?
All the clues along the way pointed to Miaojiang, but the reply from the old Miao King said that they had left long ago.
Could it be that the old Miao King was lying?
No, that's absolutely impossible!
Although the old Miao King was not loyal to the Wei Dynasty, his strength did not seem to be enough to openly challenge the emperor.
The third prince is the emperor's favorite prince, and Chen Yan is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang. He probably wouldn't dare to touch either of them.
Seeing that he refused to speak, Shen Wan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Who is my mother?" she asked calmly. "What's her name and where is her hometown?"
When Shen Yizhou heard this, his expression became even uglier.
He looked at Shen Wan intently for a while, and asked coldly: “You don’t know?”
Shen Wan smiled sweetly and walked down the stairs gracefully.
In a trance, Shen Yizhou seemed to see the fairy-like and otherworldly girl again.
The girl is so beautiful, and her smile seems to be able to melt all the ice and snow in the world.
“I don’t believe what they say.” Shen Wan stared into Shen Yizhou’s eyes and smiled faintly, “I just want to hear what my uncle says.”
Shen Yizhou hesitated for a moment and said, “What I know is the same as what your father knows.”
"Your mother's surname is Wang, and she's from Jinling."
Shen Wan raised her eyebrows, her smile tinged with sarcasm: "But Shen Yan said that my mother is from the capital, and seems to be a lady from a famous family."
"I'm just curious, how could a lady from a noble family become someone's concubine?"
Shen Yizhou's expression changed.
"That's not true at all!" His eyes were red, and he raised his voice suddenly, "Don't listen to that girl's nonsense."
Seeing him so excited, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai couldn't help but look at each other.
That’s right, Shen Yizhou did know something, and the Marquis of Xiangyang was nothing more than the “honest man” who took over for his own father.
"Since you don't know, forget it." Shen Wan smiled faintly, "Let's go check it ourselves."
Shen Yizhou frowned slightly.
"You'd better not investigate this matter." He thought for a moment and said, "If you do this, your father will be sad.
"Come back to the capital with me. No matter what Aruo and her daughter did, your father will definitely not know."
He still trusts his only cousin.
What's more, most of my salary has been given to him over the years. Let alone supporting one girl, it would be more than enough to support ten.
The more Shen Yizhou tried to stop her, the more curious Shen Wan became about the identity of her biological father.
Who on earth was that person? His identity was so noble that even Shen Yizhou was willing to cover up for him.
Dog Emperor?
As soon as this idea came into her mind, she was quickly rejected by Shen Wan.
If he was really a dog emperor, Shen Yizhou would have stood up to oppose it when he was discussing marriage with the prince.
Besides, if he really was the Dog Emperor, he wouldn't have to be so secretive.
While I was daydreaming, Ran Qiu walked in from outside with a smile on her face.
She bowed and looked at Shen Wan with a smile: “Young Madam, Master, the meal is ready, and we are waiting for you to eat.”
After hearing this, Shen Wan looked outside.
Before I knew it, the sun was already so high.
She thought for a moment, then looked up at Shen Yizhou: "It's getting late, and the simple meals we have here may not suit your taste..."
"I'm not picky about food." Shen Yizhou interrupted her coldly.
When Shen Wan heard this, she was so shocked that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
what to do?
She had no intention of treating him to a meal.
There is still a large amount of explosives in the small workshop. Although it is covered up by making firecrackers, it may not be hidden from the old fox Shen Yizhou.
"But I mind." Seeing the displeasure on the little woman's face, Xie Mubai said coldly.
Not to mention having explosives, he would mind even if there weren't any.
This old man is really evil and wants to break up the couple.
Your feet are so broken that pus is oozing out, and you still want to eat their food?
Dream on!
When Shen Yizhou heard this, his face immediately turned pale: "You little bastard, do you understand the concept of respect for elders and juniors?"
"I'm Wan'er's cousin. With the way you treat me, you still want to marry my niece?"
"I'm telling you, I'm the first one to disagree!"
Although he is not Shen Wan's biological father, he does have a certain say in her marriage.
Even if he couldn't become the Crown Princess, he hoped that his niece could marry into a good family.
The Xie family, who had become exiles, was really not in his eyes.
Xie Mubai held Shen Wan in his arms and looked at Shen Yizhou provocatively: “It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.”
"Why?" Shen Yizhou didn't believe it.
Xie Mubai smiled coldly, his words filled with thick sarcasm: "Because the Marquis of Xiangyang has already issued a letter of severance, Wan'er is no longer a member of the Shen family."
"What did you say?" Shen Yizhou widened his eyes in shock.
No, that's absolutely impossible!
Shortly after the order to confiscate the Xie family's property came down, he asked someone to send money to the Marquis of Xiangyang, asking him to find a way to rescue Shen Wan.
If the engagement was really severed, how could the Marquis of Xiangyang still have the nerve to accept the banknotes I sent him?
Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Shen Wan took out the letter of severance from the space without a trace and handed it over with both hands.
Shen Yizhou snatched it away.
That’s right, this is the handwriting of Marquis Xiangyang.
They grew up together as cousins, and he was very familiar with the handwriting.
However, after reading just a few lines, the color on Shen Yizhou's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What a beast! What a beast!
In order to protect himself, he was willing to push away the daughter he had raised for so long!
Sixteen years, could it be that he doesn't have even a little bit of emotion?
After a long time, Shen Yizhou bit his lip and looked at Shen Wan with tears in his eyes: “Child, have they treated you badly over the years?”
"It's all in the past." Shen Wan smiled, pretending to be indifferent, "It's not my biological child, it's good enough that he can give me a bite to eat."
"Of course, forget the poison."
After hearing this, Shen Yizhou's eyes turned red.
"Wan'er, live with your uncle from now on." He thought for a moment and choked up, saying, "Your uncle will definitely love you well!"
At this time, Shen Wan's stomach growled.
She is hungry.
She wanted to eat Afu Niang's rice wine meatballs and steamed fish.
"I'm old enough to support myself." Shen Wan shook her head and said with a smile, "It's getting late, you should eat first."
Shen Yizhou looked at her for a while and nodded: “Okay, let’s go together.”
Shen Wan’s face darkened.
This imperial envoy is so shameless. The villain has clearly expressed that he is not welcome, but he still insists on having dinner with them?
This is still an inn. Can't he create some benefits for the poor owner?
"That doesn't seem very convenient." She rolled her eyes and quickly shook her head. "There are mostly women over there, and some are still recovering from childbirth."
"Then bring the dishes over." Shen Yizhou was not polite, "It just so happens that I have something else to say to you."
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel like crying but had no tears.
Could she say that she didn't want to eat with him?
