Chapter 21 I thought you disappeared quietly again

When he stopped again, the sword had already pierced into the bushes.

"Ah!" Screams came one after another from the dark shadows of the bushes.

"Come out!" Wei Jianlang's attack was measured and he did not stab anyone, but the sudden attack of the sword was enough to scare the person to death.

The servant who was hiding in the bushes fell out tumbling.

When Wei Jianlang looked over, he saw that it was actually Butler Zhou and four servants.

"It's late at night. Is Butler Zhou planning to bring people to attack me here?" Wei Jianlang asked with a raised eyebrow.

Butler Zhou and the four servants nervously climbed up and knelt on the ground, "We dare not, we dare not!"

"Then what are you doing?" Wei Jianlang asked coldly.

Seeing that Butler Zhou and others were unable to say anything, Wei Jianlang tapped Butler Zhou on the head twice with his unsheathed sword.

Butler Zhou felt that his whole body was cold.

I heard Wei Jianlang say: "Tell me the truth, don't let me call everyone in the mansion out in the middle of the night and start a war."

"We... I am bringing people to serve Master Shen in his courtyard." Butler Zhou said tremblingly.

"You should have been serving in Shilang's courtyard all day, why did you go now?" Wei Jianlang asked coldly, "And why didn't you dare to go openly, but hid in the bushes?"

Wei Jianlang raised his leg and kicked Butler Zhou to the ground, "Tell the truth!"

"Is there anyone serving Shilang's yard on weekdays?" Wei Jianlang asked coldly.

The five people dared not speak.

Wei Jianlang laughed angrily, "If you don't tell me, then I will sell you four out. Butler Zhou, come with me to my father's place."

"My Lord!" Butler Zhou hurriedly crawled back and kowtowed, "This is what I say, this is what I say!"

"Please show some mercy, sir, and don't sell us out!" The servant kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Go ahead." Wei Jianlang's voice was even colder than the moonlight at this moment.

Steward Zhou trembled as he told how he concealed the truth and pretended to let Wei Zhaoxian and Wei Jianlang see it.

Wei Jianlang's face became increasingly gloomy.

The pillar of Da Xi, the former prime minister who died unjustly, and the only son left in the world, was treated so harshly in their family!

He didn't even have the face to face those loyal ministers and generals who still missed Shen Liangyu!

After listening to what Butler Zhou said, Wei Jianlang took a deep breath and said, "Why did the second young master and the young lady come to Shilang's yard at night? What were they doing there?"

"This...this servant really doesn't know." What Butler Zhou said was true.

"Okay, then let me ask it another way." Wei Jianlang said, "What did the Second Young Master and Young Lady do to Shi Lang?"

Butler Zhou knew about this, but he didn't dare to say it.

"If they won't tell you, then go gather everyone in the mansion. There will always be someone willing to tell you." Wei Jianlang said slowly, "It just so happens that the people who attacked Shi Lang tonight have not yet been punished. We can punish them together. There should be someone willing to tell the truth and avoid severe punishment."

"I will tell you everything!" said Butler Zhou. "I beg you to show some leniency and spare me!"

Seeing no answer from Wei Jianlang, Butler Zhou knew that he had no right to bargain in this matter.

Butler Zhou could only tell Wei Jianming and Wei Ruyan about whipping Shen Shilang.

The more Wei Jianlang listened, the angrier he became. He almost couldn't hold back and went directly to the ancestral hall to hang the two men up and beat them.

How dare they! "What will happen to you? Wait until father comes back to tell you." Wei Jianlang almost bit his teeth.

Let...let the general come back to decide?

The moment Butler Zhou heard this, he collapsed to the ground as if his soul had been drained away.

The general didn't come back very often, and even when he did, he only stayed for a few days.

Although she showed that she cared about Shen Shilang, she was away from home for many years after all, and Madam Wei still had the final say in the mansion.

Therefore, the servants in the mansion, including Butler Zhou, naturally followed Mrs. Wei's attitude.

Who knew Wei Jianlang would come back suddenly and encounter so many things.

The truth was revealed, and Wei Jianlang was so angry that he even wanted Wei Zhaoxian to come back to deal with the consequences.

Butler Zhou knew that Wei Zhaoxian was good to Shen Shilang, but he didn't know that he valued him so much.

"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me!" Butler Zhou kowtowed hurriedly, and after a few kowtows, his forehead was broken.

But Wei Jianlang ignored him and turned around and walked towards Shen Shilang's courtyard.

As for the fact that Butler Zhou will definitely tell his mother, it doesn’t matter.

Wei Zhaoxian's return was something his mother naturally wanted to know.

As Su Jinshi followed Shen Shilang's perspective back to the courtyard, Xiaomai also took a look. "The graphics of this game are so detailed! The movements of the people are so natural, not fake at all. Even the surrounding background images are so delicate."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Xiaomai's eyes followed Shen Shilang's perspective and said, "What's the name of this game? It looks very fun."

Su Jinshi’s first reaction was that she didn’t want to tell Xiaomai the name of the game. It felt like... watching someone else being intimate with her boyfriend.

Su Jinshi felt a little uneasy, but her mind told her that this was just a game, and she wouldn't be unwilling to share the game.

Su Jinshi said, "It's called the Cultivation Records of Powerful Officials."

Xiaomai immediately went to search, "Strange, there isn't one."

Su Jinshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt sorry for Xiaomai and thought he was too petty.

"It's in internal testing now, so it can't be found." Su Jinshi explained.

"Oh, forget it." Xiaomai put the game behind her mind. She didn't have any particular liking for games.

The road was quiet, with no one else but the chirping of cicadas and the moonlight.

Shen Shilang whispered: "Jinshi, are you still there?"

Su Jinshi gently touched Shen Shilang's shoulders twice.

Shen Shilang breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you disappeared quietly again."

These words made Su Jinshi feel a pain in his heart.

"Where did you go before? Were you hurt by that Taoist?" Shen Shilang asked again.

Su Jinshi was unable to speak and didn't know how to tell Shen Shilang that he was fine. He could only poke Shen Shilang's abdominal muscles.

She was in the mood to touch him, so of course it was okay.

What surprised her was that Shen Shilang didn't hide this time. He just touched the place where she poked him and said, "I'm glad you're okay."

"You can't speak now, so wait until tomorrow to talk to me." Shen Shilang said again.

Not long after he left, Shen Shilang asked again: "Jinshi, are you still there?"

Su Jinshi didn't expect that because she was out at the party tonight and wasn't with Shen Shilang for a while, he was now worried that she would disappear at any time.

Su Jinshi felt sweet and sour in his heart, and his throat seemed to be choked by something. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he touched a strand of Shen Shilang's hair that was scattered on his forehead.

Shen Shilang also felt the hair on his forehead being moved. There was no wind at the moment, but it felt like a gentle breeze was blowing.

Shen Shilang knew that it must be Su Jinshi who had just played with his hair.
