Lord Shen sobbed for a long time.
I looked up and saw several children.
"You're all driving me crazy! With you all like this... and this..."
He didn't know whether to blame them or thank them.
His ancestors appeared to him, allowing him to discover his bloodline earlier than expected.
His wife's betrayal made him suddenly realize the truth.
He was so happy, he cried tears of joy.
But my home is gone.
He plopped down next to the dog, hugged it, and sadly wiped away his tears.
"Dirty~" Lin Wanwan muttered softly.
Minister Shen gave her a sly look. "Filthy? I'm far more filthy than I am now!"
"My wife cheated on me and doesn't love me; she loves my mortal enemy instead."
"So, I lost to Liu Qingyang from the very beginning..."
Suddenly remembering something, he stood up abruptly and, like shooing away chickens, pushed forward with both hands, trying to blast the three of them away.
"Let's go, let's go..."
The three people: ...
When Minister Shen saw that they were stubbornly refusing to leave, he started to sob again.
Now even children are bullying him!
"Even you guys noticed something fishy, but I didn't see it after being with her for so long."
"Now look what's happened, Liu Ruyan doesn't recognize me, and Shen Lanxue is a bastard, a bastard..."
After a long while, he stared blankly at Lin Wanwan.
It seems like nothing good ever comes from whenever I see her.
The last time, the truth was revealed because of her little flower...
Yes, Little Flower.
He turned abruptly and rushed towards the door.
"Little Flower, Little Flower..."
"Bring her back for a family reunion..."
Lin Wanwan called out in a low voice:
"She...she...ran away~ She cheated me out of my money."
Upon hearing this, Minister Shen couldn't stop in time and fell directly into the pond next to him.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
"Bang!"
The Shen family's gate was slammed shut, and the three of them stood outside the gate exchanging glances.
Xiao Chengyun: "If we help him, he still won't like us?"
"Yes!" Lin Wanwan pouted and said a couple of words, then took out some snacks from her pocket and put them in her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'an exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, where did you get these plums?"
"whee……"
The little guy smiled but didn't say anything.
[Stolen, stolen from the Shen family~]
Lin Chang'an: "..."
The three walked and talked. "Chang'an, let's buy the talisman and hurry back. Mother should be looking for us soon."
"Okay, let's go buy it quickly."
After buying the talismans, the group hurriedly ran back to Ping'an Prefecture.
The Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion.
When Shen Lanxue learned that Ji Shi had been beaten to death by Minister Shen, she was completely shocked.
Before their wedding yesterday, their family was harmonious and well-behaved.
How could a family be destroyed and its members killed in just one day?
She went from being a rich heiress to being a bastard.
Her mother died, and her father didn't want her anymore.
"Shen Lanxue, you really are a jinx. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have turned out this way, and I wouldn't have become a Shen family girl."
Shen Lanxue raised her scarlet eyes and glared fiercely at Liu Ruyan.
"Liu Ruyan, do you think you'll be any better off now that you've become a daughter of the Shen family?"
"Father loves me, but he'll only ever see you as a substitute for me!"
"Hmph?" Liu Ruyan turned around and sat down on the main guard seat. "Whether you are a substitute or not, from now on you will only be a concubine who cannot be seen in public in the Marquis's mansion."
"Without the status of a minister's legitimate daughter, what makes you worthy of a husband?"
Shen Lanxue gritted her teeth in anger.
Everything is Lin Shixuan's doing.
If he hadn't seduced her, she wouldn't have been caught when the envoy came to the capital, and her reputation wouldn't have been ruined.
Father wouldn't actually believe that she likes Lin Shixuan.
Shen Lanxue looked around, as if she was looking for someone.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan curled her lips into a cold smile.
“Chen Lanxue, there’s no need to look anymore, Dingxiang has already been exposed.”
Upon hearing this news, Shen Lanxue's eyes flickered, and she then said:
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't know?" Liu Ruyan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said coldly:
"Whether she knows or pretends not to, a lewd person like Dingxiang deserves to be beaten to death!"
"Beating him to death?" Shen Lanxue raised her tear-streaked eyes.
Dingxiang was her spy planted secretly, how could she have died so suddenly?
Didn't she tell you?
"Ha, that's true. She climbed into her husband's bed and then seduced her father-in-law. It would be unreasonable if she wasn't beaten to death."
Shen Lanxue stared incredulously into Liu Ruyan's eyes, trying to discern something from them.
But in Liu Ruyan's eyes, there was nothing but vicious disgust towards her, and no guilty conscience whatsoever.
No wonder Lin Shixuan kept praising Dingxiang for being so thoughtful.
So that's what it meant.
"She's just a lowly servant girl, what does she have to do with me?"
"I don't know her at all."
Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Liu Ruyan didn't bother to argue with her.
In any case, the person is already dead.
"Liu Ruyan, Chen Lanxue..."
An angry voice suddenly came from the doorway, and Liu Ruyan and Shen Lanxue looked over together.
Lin Shixuan, carrying a schoolbag, stormed in through the front door.
Seeing his posture, Liu Ruyan was so frightened that she took a step back.
"Well, you stay here and serve your husband. I have some things to do in the courtyard."
After saying that, she walked off in another direction.
Just as Shen Lanxue was wondering what was going on, Lin Shixuan came in.
"Where are Chen Lanxue and Liu Ruyan?"
Shen Lanxue was startled by his entry. "She's busy."
