Chapter 13 Rumors Clarified
Shen Xitang's face flushed crimson, but she quickly calmed down and said sarcastically, "When it comes to shamelessness, who can compare to Shen Jinan? She's been played to pieces!"
Even though everyone had some guesses in their minds, they didn't dare to comment. Now, when they heard her point it out so blatantly, they all started talking about it.
Although the two children didn't understand what she meant, they knew that nothing good would happen when this evil woman spoke.
They were all extremely angry, rushed up with clenched fists, and beat her with all their strength.
"You bad woman, you are not allowed to talk about my mother."
Fearing that Shen Xitang would hurt the two children, Shen Jinan carefully protected the children behind him.
"I'm really confused. I didn't do anything wrong, so how could I have offended you? You slandered me again and again."
Shen Jinan sneered: "Could it be that you actually want to accompany that person, so you slander him again and again?"
Shen Jinan looked like she had just figured it out, and deliberately raised her tone: "If you really want to, just say it directly. It's not like I can't help you find out. Why bother to slander my innocence? Who is with whom, the two of us sisters?"
Looking at Shen Xitang lying on the ground with a look of embarrassment, Shen Jinan curled his lips slightly. Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of coldness. He whispered in Shen Xitang's ear: "My dear sister, I will be on the road in a few days. Do you think I have the ability to make someone disappear out of thin air?"
She looked at Chen Xitang with a half-smile, her eyes clearly holding a deeper meaning.
She had been kicked twice today. Although Shen Jinan looked normal, she felt a sharp chill.
Shen Xitang pursed her lips and said nothing, with a hint of meaning in her eyes.
Noticing that everyone around was secretly watching them, Lu Nianqing smiled: "Sure enough, you've been hit where it hurts. It turns out that it's because you're dirty that you're desperately trying to throw dirty water on others."
They still have to live after arriving at their destination, and being framed by Shen Xitang has a huge impact on Shen Jinan.
Lu Nianqing was extremely grateful to the benefactor who saved her child and considered everything for her.
"You still remember, this woman used aphrodisiacs to seduce the escorting officers on the road!"
A voice sounded in the crowd. When Shen Xitang heard them mention this matter, her face turned extremely ugly, as if she had eaten a fly.
When she looked up, she couldn't find the person who was talking. Everyone was lowering their heads and whispering about something, and their scrutinizing eyes fell on her from time to time.
There was contempt and ridicule, and Shen Xitang wanted to rush over and beat them up.
But she was alone and couldn't do it.
"You've made things difficult for them along the way. It's not easy for a woman to take care of two children, and with another..."
Hearing that the man was a high-ranking official before, the aunt did not dare to continue, "They are sisters. I don't know how your parents disciplined you!"
Minister Shen had already retreated to the corner, originally thinking that what Shen Jinan did was embarrassing for him.
I didn't expect that because of my youngest daughter's matter, I would be pointed at and criticized by others at my old age. I feel a little embarrassed.
He glared at Lin and said unhappily, "She's a good daughter you've raised. Discipline her well and keep her away from Shen Jinan."
One daughter had brought him to this point, and the other daughter had brought him great shame. Minister Shen really didn't know what evil he had done to end up in this situation!
"Master, how can you say that!" Lin was scolded for no reason and felt uncomfortable. She didn't raise the child by herself. In her opinion, Minister Shen's heart had long been biased towards Shen Jinan.
But she had to speak up to defend Shen Xitang: "Tang'er was also calculated by someone. How could she be so stupid as to take medicine to seduce others..."
"Humph!" Minister Shen sneered, "I'm afraid that instead of framing others, you've ended up suffering the consequences yourself!"
He's not a fool, he can still see clearly what's going on. He's already extremely disappointed with his daughter. If it weren't for...
Minister Shen shook his head. There was no point in saying more. Now that things had come to this, he could only take one step at a time.
Shen Xitang's plan didn't work, and he got himself involved, so he could only reap the consequences.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Xiaofeng took back the guest room.
After moving back to the cell, Shen Nian'an would occasionally play with the two children and help Gu Yanqing recuperate. He quietly waited for the opportunity to come, quite relaxed and at ease.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaofeng came to the cell two days later. Ever since Shen Jinan took out the bag of gold, he didn't dare to look down on this woman. Even though he was extremely jealous, he knew that he couldn't do anything to her for the time being.
Keeping Shen Jinan might be of great use.
Lin Xiaofeng looked around and saw Gu Yanqing and the others resting with their eyes closed against the wall. He called out, "Gu Yanqing, come out."
Hearing her own name, Gu Yanqing slowly raised her eyes, pursed her lips, and tried to stand up by holding onto the wall.
Shen Jinan was quick to support his arm so that he could support his body, then looked at Lin Xiaofeng: "My husband is not in good health, what are you going to do to him!"
"Routine questioning." Lin Xiaofeng's face was cold and he refused to say a word.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing his expression like this, they would have dared not speak a word, but Shen Jinan raised his head, unafraid: “I want to go with my husband!”
The prisoners were all stunned when they heard this. How could they bargain with the police? She was afraid that she would be in trouble.
"If you want to do hard labor, no one will stop you."
The words were spoken loudly, and everyone in the cell heard them clearly, and immediately their eyes were focused on Shen Jinan.
She first handed the two children to Lu Nianqing.
Shen Jinan patted the two children's heads and instructed: "Listen to Uncle Lu, mother and father will be back soon."
The little bean now depends on her, but is also obedient. Reluctantly, he let go of the hand that was holding her clothes, a little worried: "Then mother, please come back soon!"
Shen Jinan repeatedly assured her that she now valued her children more than anything else and was unwilling to let them suffer any injustice.
The prison door was quickly opened, and Shen Jinan half supported and half held Gu Yanqing's arm as they walked out. Lin Xiaofeng didn't say anything until they reached the guest room. After Shen Jinan and Gu Yanqing both went in, he checked again and again to make sure no one was following them, then he closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have almost prepared the things you asked me to prepare, but there are a few things that I really can't find here." Lin Xiaofeng took out the list from his sleeve and shook it. There were a few items circled in red on it.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out the cloth bag. It hadn't cost him much to prepare these things, and there was still half of the gold left in the bag. "I haven't found the most valuable items yet, and I haven't spent much money."
He meant to return it to Shen Jinan and did not intend to keep it for himself.
