Shen Ruyi was feeling groggy and wanted to laugh when she heard these words.

She knelt in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a day and a night, so why didn't anyone worry that she would develop incurable rheumatism and suffer from it for the rest of her life?

Now that I'm at Shen Cangyun's place, I'll get sick?

It's ridiculous that Shen Yu, as the eldest brother, couldn't persuade Rong Yan to use moral blackmail on her.

Just as she was about to speak, Rong Yan held her hand.

While she was stunned, Rong Yan turned around and looked at Shen Yu, his eyes like a cold pond, "First, it was me who made your father kneel outside the gate. Shen Ruyi can't beg for it."

"Secondly, I am happy that he has something to do with me in his suffering."

“…”

Shen Yu looked up in surprise, met his gaze and spoke.

Rong Yan's gaze fell on his face, frighteningly cold, "Get lost."

A chill crept up from the soles of my feet.

Shen Yu rolled and crawled to his feet and quickly left the room.

He never knew that this Ninth Prince who was idle in the mansion could have such a terrifying aura, even more powerful than the emperor!

The wind was howling outside, and the cold wind from the poor student felt like a knife scraping at his face, but what really chilled him to the bone was Rong Yan's look.

and the tone of voice.

How could this happen?

But there was nothing he could do at the moment. He healed himself and walked out, looking at his father kneeling on the ground and shedding tears of heartache, "Dad, I went to beg, but the Ninth Prince refused to let you go..."

As he spoke, he choked up.

"You can go back."

Shen Cangyun took a deep breath and said, "The mansion needs someone to take care of it. The third brother is unreliable. You go back and deal with the matter at Jiaoyang Pavilion first. Also, someone should be sent to guard the fourth brother. Don't let anything go wrong again."

He thought about the time he came to Beijing more than ten years ago.

At that time, he was only a fifth-rank official. He had just arrived in the capital and was unfamiliar with the place. He thought that if he could climb to a third-rank position in this lifetime, he would be able to comfort the spirits of his ancestors in heaven.

For the next few years, his career did not improve at all.

Until Shen Ruyi was seven years old.

Li Xiangyi suddenly told him the hideout of the former dynasty's rebels in the capital through Shen Ruyi.

He cleared out the rebels overnight and captured all 180 of them, relieving the emperor of a major worry. The emperor was so delighted that he promoted him two levels in one breath.

Because of that incident, the emperor valued him and helped him rise to the position of prime minister step by step.

At the beginning, he was somewhat grateful to Li Xiangyi.

He felt that Li Xiangyi favored him and must be one of their own. He also felt that his position in the court was secure.

After all, the Priest's Palace plus the Prime Minister's Mansion...

No matter how you look at it, it is an unshakable existence.

But he never expected that he would find out today that Li Xiangyi was not interested in him, but in Shen Ruyi.

He was able to become the prime minister not because he was talented and capable, but because of his daughter's influence. Who can he complain to?

An indescribable feeling of collapse came over me.

Shen Cangyun hunched over and began to tremble.

At this point, he, a prime minister, had to rely on holding his daughter's thighs tightly to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

A feeling of failure and humiliation overwhelmed him.

It’s all Shen Jiaojiao’s fault!

Shen Cangyun thought of the culprit and clenched his fists in anger.

If it weren’t for Shen Jiaojiao, things wouldn’t have turned out like this!

…

In the Jiaoyang Pavilion, the lights were still on.

"How is Fourth Brother?"

Shen Jiaojiao held the hot water bottle, covering her stomach. Unable to suppress the nausea, she had no choice but to stuff a dried plum into her mouth.

She felt that her stomach was becoming more and more uncomfortable recently.

It was just pain before, but now I feel nauseous all the time, want to vomit at the slightest provocation, and dry heave several times a day. It's really strange.

Shuanghua sat on the ground and fanned the fire, saying, "Minister Gu came with Doctor Qi and bandaged him."

"But Doctor Qi said that his wound was damaged intentionally, and it would take a long time to stop the bleeding completely. No matter what, he will have to stay in bed for two or three months before he can get up. Otherwise, if it gets infected, the consequences will be disastrous."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know who did it, it's really cruel and ruthless."

Shen Jiaojiao snorted in her heart.

With Shen Xiao's bad temper, he should have suffered this fate a long time ago.

The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that Shen Xiao became what he was today because he hurt Shen Ruyi and was retaliated against.

How much does the person behind the scenes care about Shen Ruyi?

A feeling of jealousy and sourness welled up in my heart.

Shen Jiaojiao threw the dried plums aside, not wanting to eat them anymore. "What about Brother Qinghua? Where did he go? Why didn't I see him all day?"

In the morning, she was still somewhat relieved.

At that time, she and Shuanghua exchanged identities and went out to find a midwife, fearing that they would be discovered. It happened that Shen Xiao stabbed Shen Ruyi, causing chaos in the mansion, which just gave her some time.

But in the afternoon, no one came to visit her, and she began to feel unhappy.

Especially since we had to wait until late at night.

Still no one came.

It would be fine if others didn’t come, but what about Gu Qinghua?

Where did he go?

There was a feeling of uneasiness brewing in her heart. Not only did Shen Jiaojiao no longer feel sleepy, but she also became a little anxious.

Shuanghua thought about the news she had heard, and she also stood up for her daughter. "Where else can she go? Before, when the young lady was crying and chasing him everywhere, he just ignored her. Now that she is ignoring him, he wants to chase the young lady for twelve hours a day."

"He hasn't come back since he went out to look for the young lady. Not to mention his person, even his shadow hasn't appeared."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "I really feel sorry for the Second Miss. How could he do this? The Second Miss is his, and her innocence is gone. How could he not keep his word?"

Songhua heard this and sighed, "I also feel that Jiaoyang Pavilion has become much quieter these days. Why is it that after the family recognition banquet, the master and the young masters seem to care less about our young lady?"

"Yes, before they recognized each other, they clearly had their minds on our Jiaoyang Pavilion. Now that they have recognized each other, they don't care anymore. Why are they like this?"

Shuanghua felt aggrieved.

Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fists when she heard this.

Isn’t this the character of the father and son of the Shen family?

You get upset when you can’t get it, but you don’t care about it when you get it.

He treated Shen Ruyi like that before, and now he treats her like that... According to her, these people in the Shen family should go to hell, for they deserve what they have done!

There were footsteps outside the door, and they came up in two steps.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses and interrupted the maids, saying, "Stop gossiping. My sister and fourth brother were injured so badly, and it's normal that Brother Qinghua and Big Brother are too busy to take care of me."

"Besides, I have had this stomach problem for a long time. When there was a shortage of food in the village, I had no choice but to eat tree bark. I am very grateful that I am alive today and reunited with my family."

Shen Yu paused at the door.
