Chapter 23: I can’t hide Shi Lang’s affairs from my father

Wei Jianlang wiped his face and said, “I originally came back today and brought some good wine, thinking I could have a drink with you. But I’m afraid that won’t work tonight.”

Shen Shilang was stunned for a moment, guessed Wei Jianlang's plan, and smiled and said, "You just came back, why bother running around. You and I can still drink and chat tonight."

Wei Jianlang shook his head silently, "No."

After Wei Jianlang finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the courtyard.

Su Jinshi wondered what these two people were talking about.

Suddenly, a system prompt that had not been seen for a long time popped up on the phone screen.

[System: Madam Wei's harsh treatment of Shen Shilang is exposed, experience +100,000]

[System: Congratulations on upgrading to level 6, level reward gold coins 600]

Su Jinshi opened his mouth in surprise, "Either I didn't add any experience points, but now I've added 100,000 experience points!"

It suddenly jumped from lv3 to lv6.

What surprised Su Jinshi even more was that the system prompt was still continuing.

[System: Wei Jianming's whipping of Shen Shilang is exposed, experience +200,000]

[System: Congratulations on upgrading to level 8, level reward gold coins 800]

[System: Wei Ruyan's act of assisting in whipping Shen Shilang is exposed, experience +150,000]

[System: Congratulations on upgrading to level 10, level reward gold coins 1000]

Su Jinshi's mouth was wide open and his heart was beating wildly with surprise.

After waiting for a long time, there was no system prompt.

"It looks like the reward is over." Su Jinshi touched his chin and muttered, "Could it be that if I find a way to expose Shen Shilang's bad behavior, I can increase my experience and get a reward? If these people are punished, I wonder if the reward will increase."

"However, I didn't do anything after these actions were exposed." Su Jinshi frowned and analyzed, rethinking the matter, "As long as it is exposed, I can get the reward regardless of my participation, or do I have to participate?"

"If you want to talk about participation, to be precise, I did participate." Su Jinshi said to himself, "Because Madam Wei invited a Taoist priest to the mansion to exorcise ghosts, Wei Jianlang, who was rushing home, happened to see it, which triggered the subsequent series of events. And the reason why Madam Wei asked the Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts was because what I did in the Wei Mansion made them think that there was a ghost in the Wei Mansion."

"The reason why Shen Shilang fought so hard in the mansion and even exposed his martial arts skills was because he was worried that I would get hurt while the Taoist priest was exorcising ghosts." Su Jinshi supported his chin with one hand and stretched out his index finger to touch the tip of his nose from time to time. "So the development of things to this point is essentially because of me."

As Su Jinshi analyzed the situation, he took his phone back to the bedroom, took out his pajamas from the closet, and said as he changed, "From this point of view, it is likely that my participation will be needed to increase experience."

After changing into her pajamas, Su Jinshi opened her personal profile and saw that she now had 361,000 experience points.

Level 11 requires 450,000 experience points.

As for gold coins, the system upgrade rewards totaled 1,800.

"Finally, I can save a few days' money." Su Jinshi muttered. He had been improving the quality of Shen Shilang's meals every day, and buying a voice transmission box every day. The gold coins given by the system had long been spent.

Fortunately, the fee she earned from writing a play was quite high, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to support Shen Shilang.

"I can upgrade the mall!" Su Jinshi clicked on the mall excitedly.

You will see an upgrade icon behind the mall level.

Su Jinshi nodded.

[System: Mall Upgrade Level 2]

Su Jinshi saw that the things in the mall had not changed much and no new products had been added.

But the prices of previous goods have changed.

It’s 20% off.

The intermediate voice transmission box can only be purchased after it is upgraded to level 3 in the mall.

Su Jinshi clicked on the upgrade icon which turned gray.

[Mall lv3, requires level lv20, Shen Shilang's favorability 20 to unlock]

"Oh my god, now my experience level is enough, and it's Shen Shilang's turn to have insufficient favorability." Su Jinshi sighed and decided to go wash up first.

However, he still held his cell phone while washing up and accompanied Shen Shilang.

Lest he fail to find her and become worried again.

On this side, Wei Jianlang did not leave the Wei Mansion immediately. When he came out of Shen Shilang's courtyard, he met Mother Liu.

"Young Master, Madam wants you to come over." Mother Liu couldn't help shaking with nervousness as she faced Wei Jianlang, who became calmer despite his rage.

Wei Jianlang walked towards Madam Wei's courtyard without saying a word. Before Madam Liu could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Wei Jianlang say, "Madam Liu, you came here with my mother from my maternal grandparents' home. Have you ever advised my mother over the years?"

Madam Liu was shaking even more violently, and she knelt down behind Wei Jianlang, "It's...it's me who failed to persuade Madam."

"If you don't want me to ask grandma to call you back and send someone else over," Wei Jianlang said, "then don't let mother get away with her temper, and don't fan the flames!"

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

"Old...I understand!" Mother Liu said tremblingly with her head down.

Wei Jianlang continued walking forward without saying a word. Without Wei Jianlang's order, Mother Liu did not dare to get up and could only kneel on the stone road which was a little cold at night.

Mrs. Wei was pacing back and forth in the room, her hands unconsciously clutching a handkerchief, and she was so nervous that she couldn't calm down.

"Where is Jianlang? Hasn't he come out from Shen Shilang yet?" This was the fifth time Mrs. Wei asked.

Jinxiu, the first-class maidservant beside Madam Wei, said, "Madam Liu is waiting outside Shen Shilang's courtyard. Even if the eldest son did not intend to come, Madam Liu would stop him. Besides, the eldest son is the most filial, and he will come to see Madam no matter what."

"Send someone to check to see if Mother Liu has stopped Jianlang." Mrs. Wei urged.

"Yes." Jinxiu hurriedly sent someone there.

After a while, Jinxiu came back in a hurry.

Mrs. Wei was wondering how they came back so soon. Was the person they sent so quick?

Then Jinxiu said, "Madam, the eldest master is here."

Mrs. Wei froze for a moment, and Jinxiu said again: "Mother Liu didn't follow."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wei saw Wei Jianlang walking in the yard.

Wei Jianlang strode into the room, "Mother."

Mrs. Wei looked behind him and asked, "Where's Madam Liu?"

"Mother, why are you so worried about a servant, but you don't ask how Shilang is doing?" Wei Jianlang asked.

Mrs. Wei stopped pretending and said, "If he had been ill, you would have called a doctor long ago and would not have left him here alone."

"Mother, I will go back to the army tonight." Wei Jianlang's voice was very soft, his expression was very indifferent, only disappointment was revealed in his eyes.

Mrs. Wei's lips trembled and she was supported by Jinxiu.

"You just came back, why are you going back again?" Mrs. Wei had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I can't hide the affairs of the mansion and Shilang from my father." Wei Jianlang said in a deep voice.
