The hall fell silent.
Shen Mingyu's response was what everyone expected, but it was also unexpected.
Let’s not talk about how Shen Ning’er killed so many people and how his Shen family should bear this responsibility, let’s just talk about Shen Mingyu’s attitude: As the head of the Yuzhou Shen family, Shen Mingyu remained silent throughout the whole process. Instead, it was his little girl who came forward to negotiate with everyone, acting like the head of the family... When did Shen Mingyu become a puppet?
Or has the position of the head of the Yuzhou Shen family been taken by a new person?
Everyone looked at each other, and saw confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
There was also confusion in Shen Qiqi's eyes.
To be honest, even though she sounded so confident in front of everyone, her heart was actually beating like a drum, and she was extremely nervous, afraid that her father would call her "nonsense."
Fortunately, her father chose to believe her.
Then she must not let her father down.
Shen Qiqi slowly exhaled and looked at Shen Mingyu: "Father..."
Before he could even utter the words "don't worry", the latter had already drooped his eyelids.
He was like an old father after a long journey, exhausted of all his energy and not even having the strength to look at his daughter.
Of course, it is also possible that they don’t want to watch it.
In short, Shen Mingyu lowered his eyelids, supported his knees with his hands, and slowly sat down without looking at Shen Qiqi again.
The words that Shen Qiqi hadn't finished speaking got stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.
Something is passing by so fast that I can't catch it.
Shen Qiqi seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head. Her face turned pale instantly. Her body couldn't bear the sudden chill and she shivered uncontrollably.
Until her little hand under her sleeve was suddenly covered by a palm.
Shen Qiqi was startled, and when she came to her senses, she caught a glimpse of a figure beside her, and then she realized that Xie Beiming had stood beside her without her knowing.
He even took advantage of the wide sleeves to cover her, and held her hand in public, in full view of everyone.
The temperature wrapped around the back of his hand was not scorching. In fact, because of his serious injury, Xie Beiming's body temperature was still a little low. His palm was slightly cool. He wrapped the small hand under his palm in a posture that was neither light nor heavy, but gave people a sense of security.
Shen Qiqi's unsettled heart suddenly felt a sense of support. She turned her hand over and gently scratched Xie Beiming's palm with her fingers in gratitude.
The latter gave her a slightly raised lip corner in response.
The interaction between the two was bright, secretive, and quick. By the time everyone in the hall sensed that the atmosphere was not right and was wondering, "I seem to be redundant," Shen Qiqi had already calmed down.
Shen Ning'er's matter can be big or small. To put it in a big way, not only will their Yuzhou Shen family be kicked out of the list of the five major families, but for a long time to come, the family will have to face the accusations and abuses of the world.
Therefore, Shen Ning'er's matter can only be small, not big.
This was also the reason why Shen Qiqi had just pointed out Xu Da so sharply.
There is more than one Xu Da among the people present. She can only kill one Xu Da with thundering means to deter the other Xu Das who are ready to make a move.
Shen Qiqi's eyes swept across the faces of those Xu Das one by one.
Those who were caught in her gaze subconsciously straightened their backs, straightened their expressions, and put on masks of integrity.
Unfortunately, you can wear a mask to disguise your face, but you can’t disguise your heart.
Shen Qiqi glanced at the fire lotus in her sea of consciousness.
Her fire lotus cub was eating, and behind each nutrient was an invisible thread that she could sense.
The other end of the thread is tied to the donor.
Shen Qiqi took a few focused glances at the big "grain suppliers".
These people kept asking the Shen family to give an explanation, but when she really tried to give them an explanation, they released such strong hatred towards her.
It can be seen that in their hearts, they clearly prefer chaos in the Shen family.
A group of people who take hypocrisy to the extreme.
Shen Qiqi sneered in her heart, withdrew her gaze from these people's faces, and looked directly at Jiang Guiyuan.
"Master Jiang, our Shen family was at fault in the Furong Town incident. We do not deny this and are willing to accept any punishment. However, I hope Master Jiang can draft a new order to serve as a constant warning to all the other aristocratic families, so that they will not make the same mistake as our Shen family in the future."
As soon as she said this, the already quiet hall became even quieter.
Suddenly, everyone felt a little uneasy.
A new order that can constantly remind them not to make mistakes...what kind of new order would that be?
The country has laws, the family has its family rules, and the hundreds of Taoist schools also have a set of laws to restrain them. Once a cultivator violates the law, he will be punished.
For example, the great evil cultivator two or three hundred years ago, who practiced ghost magic and controlled ghosts for his own use, violated the laws set by the hundreds of Xuanmen schools, and was finally besieged by the hundreds of Xuanmen schools.
After the evil cultivator was killed, the weapons he created, such as the blood talisman and the evil-summoning disk, were also not within the laws of the hundreds of Xuanmen sects. Anyone who dared to use them against the order could be killed, no matter who they were.
Although everyone was still unclear about the content of the new order that Shen Qiqi mentioned, their intuition told them that the new order that Shen Qiqi mentioned might do them more harm than good.
Someone subconsciously stood up to stop it.
But before the man could speak, Jiang Guiyuan said, "I wonder what the new order is that Miss Shen Er is talking about? Miss Shen Er, why don't you tell us the content of the new order first?"
Shen Qiqi immediately said, "The new order states that all the major families must strictly control their descendants. No one can make any mistakes. If one person makes a mistake, the entire family will be punished."
