Logically speaking, the midwife raised Shen Jiaojiao, so she can be considered a benefactor, right?

Shen Cangyun and Shen Yu killed people to silence them, which made her confused.

Fang Fei was even more confused. "I don't know. They were in the courtyard. I didn't dare to go in. I could only watch from outside. I only heard a woman screaming inside. After a while, the eldest master came out. I guess it must be the midwife."

Shen Ruyi had a bad feeling when she heard this.

Under what circumstances would Shen Cangyun kill the midwife?

"What about Jiaoyang Pavilion? What's the reaction?" Shen Ruyi asked.

Fang Fei sobbed and said, "Mother Yuan passed away a long time ago. When she came out, her face was full of rosy glow. It was probably good news."

"That means Shen Jiaojiao's blood has merged with the Prime Minister's."

But if that was the case, why did Shen Yu kill the midwife?

Shen Ruyi always felt that there must be something in what the midwife said tonight that Shen Cangyun wanted to conceal.

But I can't be sure what the words were.

"Forget it, let's go to sleep first. No matter what the result is, they will definitely come to find us tomorrow morning." Shen Ruyi took a deep breath and didn't think about it anymore.

When things come to the fore, everything will become clear.

"I am afraid..."

Fangfei refused to go back.

Shen Ruyi moved to the inside of the bed, "Come up and sleep next to me."

"Thank you, Miss." Fang Fei wiped her nose and went to bed next to Shen Ruyi. The little girl was obviously still a child.

Shen Ruyi had another nightmare.

But this time, when I woke up, I had forgotten most of it.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Han Jiang, she read a book while waiting for other members of the Shen family to come to her and tell her that she was not her biological daughter, or to ask her to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cangyun appeared at the door early in the morning, holding a pot of freshly cooked chicken soup.

"Ruyi, you are not getting enough energy and blood. Dad asked the kitchen to make some black chicken soup for you, adding chicken blood vine and angelica. Drink some while it's hot."

As he said this, he actually served a bowl himself and brought it to Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi looked at the chicken soup with a heavy heart, and finally said, "Thank you."

Why did it turn out like this?

Could it be that her blood merged with Shen Cangyun's last night?

No, that's not right.

If Shen Jiaojiao bribed the midwife, Doctor Yan, and Mother Yuan, then given Shen Jiaojiao's personality, they would never let her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Then, the only explanation is that Shen Cangyun doesn't want her to leave, he wants to use the resources behind her!

This is trouble.

If Shen Cangyun really thought so, it would be extremely difficult for her to break off the engagement in the future. As long as the Prime Minister's Mansion did not give in, she would not be able to succeed.

Unless she finds an opportunity to force them to fall out.

Or, you can ask the emperor to issue an order.

But this excuse is also very difficult to find.

When Shen Ruyi thought about this, her face turned a little ugly.

Shen Cangyun sat down and saw that she didn't look very good. He couldn't help asking, "Ruyi, is the chicken soup not tasty? You don't look very happy."

His eyes were somewhat complicated.

The abuse of Shen Ruyi before became justified because it proved that Shen Ruyi was not his biological daughter, so he no longer felt guilty. But because he had to keep her, he had to curry favor with her, so he felt a little unwilling.

Especially, after the blood relationship was gone, looking at Shen Ruyi again, there was a bit more of a feeling of a man examining a woman.

She is quite pretty.

With such a thought in mind, he pondered: "Ruyi, if you have any ideas in your mind, just tell Daddy. No matter what, you are Daddy's daughter, and Daddy will definitely agree to your request."

"Daddy was wrong for neglecting you in the past year."

"Just because Daddy has raised you and done his best for so many years, can you please forgive Daddy?"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Ruyi quietly, waiting for her response.

After a year, Shen Ruyi heard him speaking to her so gently for the first time, but she felt that it was a little different from a year ago.

In the past, it was the love of a father for his daughter.

Now, it is a stranger who is flattering me, but this flattery is not expressed explicitly, but is instead under the name of love.

Therefore, Shen Ruyi felt a little disgusted.

"I don't have any other requests, I just want to take a rest. You've been staying up late these past two days and you don't look very energetic. If you have time, go back and have a good sleep."

As he spoke, he forced a polite smile.

I don’t know if Shen Cangyun will look so happy when he goes to the Shangshu Mansion to cancel the engagement tomorrow, or if he will continue to curry favor with her.

Moreover, things have come to this point. She might have to sacrifice some of her reputation tomorrow in order to completely anger the Shangshu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion and get her to leave.

So, when Shen Cangyun walked to the door, Shen Ruyi said, "By the way, Dad, I'm getting married soon. Can you give me my marriage certificate with Brother Qinghua? I haven't seen it in all these years."

"What do you want a marriage certificate for?"

Shen Cangyun was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant.

"I just want to take a look. I'm curious. Besides, I don't feel comfortable with what happened between Qinghua and Shen Jiaojiao. I just want to see what is written in the marriage certificate so that he can apologize to me."

"Otherwise, if my daughter marries him, won't she be at his mercy? What if he keeps mistresses outside and plans to have three wives and four concubines..."

Shen Ruyi said, looking at Shen Cangyun, "Dad, you don't want your daughter to suffer after marrying him, right?"

Because I was deliberately acting coquettishly.

Shen Ruyi looked innocent and cute, a long-lost look.

Shen Cangyun's heart skipped a beat, remembering how Shen Jiaojiao looked before she came back. He thought that his daughter was coming back again, so he nodded and said, "Then Daddy will definitely not be happy. The marriage certificate does say that he wants to be with you forever. Daddy will ask someone to send it to you later and ask him to apologize to you."

"You have indeed been wronged in this matter."

Shen Cangyun said this, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, Shen Jiaojiao is his biological daughter!

Gu Qinghua destroyed Shen Jiaojiao's innocence, and now he can only marry Shen Ruyi.

As a father, how can he keep his mind balanced?

If Shen Ruyi didn't have someone behind her, he would have kicked her out, saying that she had taken Shen Jiaojiao's place and that the engagement should have been with Shen Jiaojiao.

But now, I can only think about it.

When a daughter grows up, she will get married.

Now the only reliable option is to marry Gu Qinghua.

After all, Gu Qinghua's mother is his sister. Even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected. They are grasshoppers on the same rope anyway.

Shen Cangyun was thinking about all this, and his mood became extremely complicated, as if there were several people arguing in his head.

It was not until he returned to his own courtyard that he pulled himself out of his thoughts and told Shen Yu, "Go to my study, take Ruyi's marriage certificate, and take Gu Qinghua to apologize to her. There are only seven or eight days left before the wedding, so there must not be any mistakes."

Halfway through his words, he became worried that Shen Yu would not be able to handle this matter, so he said, "I'd better go there myself, you go see Jiaojiao."
