Chapter 93: Divorce Plan
"Just say what you want to say."
Shen Xiunian looked over and heard something behind Jiang Susu's words.
It was clearly Jiang Susu who brought it up herself, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak. After a long while, she uttered something that was confusing.
"What I'm about to say may be hurtful, but even if it means offending you, I can't care less. Even if you're angry and refuse to accept Huaijun and me, I can't just watch you get deceived."
Her words were so serious that Shen Xiunian couldn't help but become curious.
"Go on." He waited for her to speak clearly.
"I saw a man in the pastry shop I went to today who looked very similar to your two children."
After hearing this, Shen Xiunian suddenly frowned.
There was a hint of ambiguous consideration in the way he looked at Jiang Susu.
"The pastry shop you mentioned was opened by a widow named Shen? Her brother does look a bit like the two children in the family, and there have been a lot of rumors about him over the years. But there are still more smart people in this world. Before moving here three years ago, the child's mother was already pregnant. How could it be related to the widow Shen's brother?"
He seemed a little impatient and didn't like listening to Jiang Susu talking about these things.
Jiang Susu pretended not to understand and insisted on continuing.
"But the person I'm talking about shouldn't be the widow Shen's brother. I've met her brother, and he does look a bit like your child, but he's very different from the person I'm talking about. The person I'm talking about, he..."
"What on earth are you going to say?"
Shen Xiunian's voice was heavy, and it was obvious that he wanted to avoid this topic.
"What I want to say is that your wife is having a secret meeting with someone outside, and the person she is having a secret meeting with looks exactly like your two children. Xiunian, I know you can't accept it, but are you really willing to be teased and humiliated like this? Today, the two of them are alone in a room, I don't know..."
"Enough!" Shen Xiunian stood up angrily.
"Susu, I haven't seen you for seven years. You have changed a lot. You used to be the one who gossiped about others behind their backs."
He was angry, and Jiang Susu found it even more unbelievable.
Who has changed more? In the past, Shen Xiunian would never speak to her in such an attitude, or with such harsh words.
"What did you say?" she asked incredulously.
Chen Xiunian didn't want to argue anymore and was about to leave.
"Chen Xiunian, you've changed!" Jiang Susu caught up with him, and before she knew it, her eyes started to turn red. "Do you love her so much that you won't allow anyone to slander her?"
Shen Xiunian stopped when he heard the sound.
The sunlight refracted into the room through the doors and windows, making his amber eyes shine.
“Chen Xiunian, who has changed?”
Although they were only a few steps apart, the two figures, one in front and one behind, seemed to be separated by an endless river in the sky.
After a long silence, Shen Xiunian replied, "Don't ever mention this again."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
Chen Huaijun in the yard rushed over again, begging Chen Xiunian to play with him for a while, but Chen Xiunian just touched his head and said that he had something to do and would come back another day.
Regardless of anything else, the child has always been sensible.
Even though he was reluctant, he did not pester Chen Xiunian to leave. It was just that the figure who silently watched him leave looked extremely sad and made people feel sorry for him.
When Jiang Susu came out after wiping her tears, she unexpectedly saw Shen Huaijun lying on the ground in the yard.
Her face changed and she ran over trembling.
"Huai Jun?"
The child was already in a deep coma and had lost consciousness. No matter how she held him and called out to him, he didn't respond. The tears that she had been holding back flowed down Jiang Susu's cheeks again.
"Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
"Daddy doesn't care about you, but mother will definitely save you. Mother will definitely save you."
"Huaijun, you have to hold on. Mother will definitely save you."
…
After Liu Fuying returned from the shop, he went to Chen Xiunian's yard without resting for long.
Zhang Ke, who was serving her, stopped her outside and said that Shen Xiunian had just taken medicine and went to bed, so it was not appropriate to disturb him for the time being.
Since it was not appropriate to disturb them for the time being, Liu Fuying decided to come again in the evening.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiunian still refused to meet him at night.
What did he say last time?
If there is anything going on, talk it out face to face. Avoiding the issue won't solve it.
He understands all the principles and always speaks nice words to educate others, but he never applies them to himself.
He just didn't want to talk to her about Pei Zhouwu.
"Madam, please come back in a few days when the general is feeling better."
Liu Fuying was also accustomed to Shen Xiunian's current condition.
He has been like this since the beginning.
He was a man of few words and would not go to see her unless necessary. Even if they met, he would remain silent and could not utter a single word for a long time.
What can I possibly accomplish with him in this state?
“Chen Xiunian, don’t blame me then!”
Liu Fuying shouted through the door, then turned around and left without saying anything more.
It's no good to keep procrastinating, things need to be dealt with early.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass Pei Zhouwu's level.
Pei Zhouwu was anxious every day. In the morning at the pastry shop, he asked her again about the preparations for the divorce. She was hesitant in her answer.
"Ma'am, shall we go back to Shuxingyuan?"
"Golden pear."
"Yes, ma'am, you say."
"We can't delay any longer. We have to take a gamble."
"ah?"
Jin Li was confused by her irrelevant answer.
In the next few days, the mansion was quiet. The old lady became much more depressed after her illness that day, and Shen Xiunian still locked himself in the house. There was silence everywhere, except for the two children running around the yard from time to time, with laughter and joy.
The weather has been getting hotter recently.
Even at night, I still feel stuffy.
Pei Zhouwu had just come out of the bathroom when he saw Kong Linyu running towards him in a hurry.
"General, Madam Liu is missing."
"What?"
"Just now, Jie Ling sent someone back to the Shen family to report that Madam Liu disappeared in her shop. They searched everywhere but couldn't find her. They were preparing to report to the police."
Pei Zhouwu immediately went out of the yard.
He walked hurriedly and looked grim and scary.
He was so anxious at the moment that he didn't notice the change in Kong Linyu's way of addressing Shen Jie Ling. A few days ago, he called her "widow", but today he used the intimate name "Jie Ling".
Soon, the two figures hurriedly disappeared outside the house.
At the same time, in the darkness, there was a person in night clothes hiding. She was not tall and looked like a woman.
After a while, the guards guarding the gate of the courtyard came out in droves, led away by something unknown.
Then the woman in the nightgown was seen using her lightness skills to climb over the wall.
She went straight to the lighted master bedroom and started searching everywhere as soon as she entered the room, but she was extremely careful not to mess anything up.
After a long time of effort, I finally found what I wanted in MiGri.
It's a military token.
Just as I turned around and was about to leave, I suddenly heard a voice in the house.
"That piece is fake."
The thief was so frightened that his eyes widened. He slowly turned around and saw a familiar person.
The one who spoke was actually Shen Xiunian.
