Chapter 8 The Real Battlefield

"Yes." Mother Liu hurried over.

Shen Shilang received the message from Madam Liu. When he stood up, he heard Madam Liu say coldly, "Mr. Shen, please go back to your room and rest. Don't disturb the general and his wife. I don't think Mr. Shen will ask for a doctor, right?"

"So what if I invited you?" Shen Shilang said coldly.

The fact that Wei Jianming grew up to be a playboy had a lot to do with Madam Wei.

Shen Shilang didn't intend to let Wei Zhaoxian know what happened to him in the mansion, but Mrs. Wei should be very panicked at this time.

Under Mother Liu's panicked gaze, Shen Shilang frowned and reluctantly left the front yard.

After walking for a distance, Shen Shilang leaned weakly against the rockery.

At this time, he could no longer bear the weakness caused by the split wound, his face turned pale and he broke out in cold sweat.

He almost staggered all the way back to the small courtyard in the most remote corner of the Wei Mansion.

Su Jinshi saw all of this.

As soon as Shen Shilang entered the room, Su Jinshi had already undressed him.

Shen Shilang: "..."

"Jinshi, it's not convenient now..." A slight blush finally appeared on Shen Shilang's pale face.

This pervert, why does she always want to touch him? "Bah!" Su Jinshi said angrily, "I'm not trying to touch you, I'm trying to apply medicine to you!"

Unfortunately, I can't talk to Shen Shilang now. I can only clean Shen Shilang's wound first, and then take out the golden wound medicine from the game package and apply it to Shen Shilang.

Shen Shilang saw that the blood oozing from his wound had been cleaned up and then applied with medicine. The originally burning wound felt briefly cool because of the ointment. When he realized that he had misunderstood Su Jin, his handsome face became even redder.

Su Jinshi threw the clothes back to him in annoyance and told him to put them on himself so that he wouldn't always think of himself as a pervert.

Shen Shilang put on his clothes somewhat embarrassedly.

[System: Shen Shilang’s Favorability +1]

Su Jinshi sneered repeatedly, knowing that he had misunderstood her, right? She even increased his favorability.

"As expected, even a paper man can't be spoiled too much." Su Jinshi said angrily, "We still have to teach him a lesson."

Su Jinshi clicked into the mall and saw that the CD time of the sound box had finally arrived, so Su Jinshi quickly bought another one.

"Shen Shilang." Su Jinshi called out.

When Shen Shilang heard Su Jinshi's voice again, he didn't realize that an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

"You are finally willing to talk to me." Shen Shilang said, "Why didn't you talk to me before?"

"Well, the time and number of times I can transmit sound in a day are limited." Su Jinshi explained.

Shen Shilang suddenly realized, "It may be that your magic power is not enough. Then you should work hard to practice well, and then you will be able to speak more."

Su Jinshi is also quite pitiful. He is all alone and has no one to talk to.

There are only a few moments a day when we can talk, and the rest of the time even if we have something to say we have to hold it in.

Su Jinshi muttered unhappily, "It's because you're too stingy and gave me so little favorability. Otherwise, I could have talked for a little longer."

"What did you say?" Shen Shilang didn't hear clearly what Su Jinshi muttered.

"Nothing." Su Jinshi asked instead, "Why didn't you tell Wei Zhaoxian about the bullying you had at home? He risked his life to save you, it couldn't be just to let you get bullied in his house, right?"

Shen Shilang's expression suddenly became serious, "You know about me?"

Su Jinshi paused and said, "Didn't Wei Zhaoxian just say that you wanted revenge and that your father was known as the beautiful jade of the Shen family in Beijing. How could I not guess who you are? Besides, I still have magical powers. Not only do I know about your family's injustice, but I also know that Wei Zhaoxian risked his life to bring you back to the Wei family."

"If others knew that he saved you, the Wei family would be finished." Su Jinshi said, "I know that General Wei is a loyal and righteous man. In this case, why didn't you tell him about it?"

Through the screen, Su Jinshi saw Shen Shilang looking straight at him. The severity in his eyes gradually weakened until it became gentle.

Su Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that his nervous body had straightened under Shen Shilang's sudden stern gaze.

It was obvious that through the screen, Shen Shilang was just the male protagonist of the game and there was no way he could do anything to her, but she was still nervous under his stern gaze.

Su Jinshi frowned slightly, and a thought popped up in her mind. Is there really a game that can be so realistic? At this time, she heard Shen Shilang say: "Indeed, when the Shen family was in such a situation, no one dared to take me in. Only General Wei was willing to take me in at the risk of his life."

"General Wei is already feared by the Emperor for commanding a large army. If he knew that he dared to take me in, I'm afraid my life would be in danger." Shen Shilang whispered, "It is precisely because he risked his life to save me that I don't want to cause unrest in General Wei's family or cause a rift between him and his wife."

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

Anyway, he couldn't stay in the Wei Mansion for long.

Why bother adding to Wei Zhaoxian's worries?

Shen Shilang lowered his head and said, "If it weren't for me, General Wei would never have to face the troubles in these houses."

"So you would rather be bullied than tell him?" Su Jinshi felt a dull pain in his heart. "Are you going to be bullied like this forever?"

Su Jinshi paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You didn't do well in your studies just now, are you pretending?"

Shen Shilang didn't say anything, but Su Jinshi saw the fleeting smile on the corner of Shen Shilang's mouth.

If she hadn't been staring at the screen, she would have missed it.

"Are you really pretending?" Su Jinshi asked immediately, "To keep a low profile and avoid being in trouble with Wei Jianming because of your academic performance?"

Maybe it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and he felt that Su Jinshi was a ghost, so he could talk to her more confidently.

"Why would I care about Wei Jianming's mood? Even if I keep a low profile, can he still give me less trouble?" Shen Shilang said, "Before the provincial examination, I don't plan to be too high-profile. If my results are too outstanding, it will easily attract attention too early."

"Then Madam Wei..." Shen Shilang said with a look of confusion, "I am far superior to Wei Jianming, and she will also trip me up. I'm afraid it won't be as smooth as it is now."

"Now that I have the title of a scholar, I just need to be able to successfully participate in the provincial examination." Shen Shilang said, "My real battlefield will begin from the provincial examination."

Only by getting good results in the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination and the palace examination can one appear in front of the emperor and increase the chances of being valued.

Su Jinshi discovered that Shen Shilang had planned everything step by step.

I don't know how old he was when he started paving the way for himself.

Year after year, I have been lying dormant, enduring and preparing for future plans.

Judging from his situation in the Wei Mansion, Wei Zhaoxian seldom came back often, and he never complained to Wei Zhaoxian.
