Chapter 182: Watching the excitement, not minding the big things

Seeing Shen Chaoyan turn her face to the other side, Lu Qiyun thought she was shy, so she held Shen Chaoyan's wrist and prepared to put a bracelet on her.

When Lu Qiyun bent down and moved closer, she immediately smelled a familiar faint fragrance from her.

"Sister, the fragrance on you is the new style that Shen's shop launched last month, right? My daughter also likes to use this perfume..."

She was halfway through her words, staring at Shen Chaoyan's eyes exposed outside the face mask, and suddenly realized something, narrowed her eyes, and even spoke in a deeper tone, "Sister, I think you look familiar, like an acquaintance!"

Shen Chaoyan heard the tone of her voice and knew that she recognized her.

Shen Chaoyan is not like Shen Linfeng, who still acts like a demon when being recognized.

Shen Chaoyan took the initiative to pull down the veil on her face and coquettishly pulled Lu Qiyun's arm, "Mother, you are so amazing, you recognized me at a glance!"

Lu Qiyun reached out and pinched her cheek, "Why did you leave the palace?"

Shen Chaoyan bent her beautiful eyes, "The emperor knows that I miss home, so he asked me to come back to see you."

Lu Qiyun poked her forehead with her finger, "Does the emperor know that you come to this place?"

Shen Chaoyan blinked at Lu Qiyun and asked with a smile, "Does my father know that you come to this place?"

"Of course he doesn't know!"

Lu Qiyun was talking when she found that the boat seemed to have stopped.

She walked to the window, looked out, and found that the boat had stopped.

Shen Chaoyan also walked over and saw a sign outside -

Lake Heart Island.

It seems that the courtesan tonight has been selected.

Although the party didn't get going, it was a rare opportunity for the mother and daughter to have a heart-to-heart talk. Putting aside their respective identities, they had an in-depth chat and it was good to know each other's true thoughts.

Seeing the boat stop, Lu Qiyun thought it had docked, "It's getting late, let's go back quickly. If your father finds out we've come to this kind of place, he'll definitely go crazy!"

"Don't worry, mother. After all, my father has seen a lot of things and won't go crazy that easily."

Thinking of her dear father who was right next door, Shen Chaoyan thought it would be better for them not to go out for the time being.

I don't know what her second brother has talked to her father about.

However, her second brother used to frequent these romantic places, so it should be a piece of cake for him to fool her father.

Seeing that Shen Chaoyan didn't move, Lu Qiyun pulled her towards the door, "Let's go home quickly!"

"Mother, this is the island in the middle of the lake, let's not go out. After the courtesan comes ashore, the boat will return the same way and take us back."

Shen Chaoyan said, pointing to the tea and snacks on the table, and then said, "Let's sit down and drink tea and eat snacks, time will pass quickly."

Lu Qiyun's eyes lit up when she heard it, "Yan'er, I heard that the girls in Hongxiu Tower are more beautiful than each other, especially the courtesan who looks like a fairy from heaven. How many times can we have the chance to enter Hongxiu Tower in our lifetime? Why not seize the time to go out and take a look!"

Shen Chaoyan really didn't expect that her mother had such a lively side?

However, who doesn't like to look at beautiful young ladies?

How rare is it for them to come to Hongxiulou together as a mother and daughter?

Of course they must seize this rare opportunity.

So, Shen Chaoyan took her hand and walked out with her, "Mother is right, let's go see the courtesan!"

The mother and daughter opened the door happily, but neither of them expected that Shen Qingyuan and Shen Linfeng next door also opened the door and walked out at the same time.

When the four people bumped into each other, Shen Chaoyan and Shen Linfeng stared at each other in shock.

Who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that their family could even calculate the time to see the courtesan so accurately.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mother?"

Although Lu Qiyun's dress was exaggerated, Shen Linfeng still recognized her at a glance.

When Shen Qingyuan saw the faces of the two people in front of him clearly, his eyes widened in surprise, "Madam, how come you and Yan'er are here?"

Shen Chaoyan didn't expect that she and her daughter were caught by her father.

She glanced at Lu Qiyun, worrying about how to explain this.

Lu Qiyun put her hands on her waist and said preemptively, "Shen Qingyuan, you still have the nerve to ask us why we are here? If Yan'er and I hadn't followed you, we wouldn't know that you actually brought Feng'er to such a place?"

"Ah?"

Shen Linfeng was confused and asked Shen Chaoyan with his eyes: Sister, what's going on? Didn't you come with me? How did it become you and mother following dad?

Shen Chaoyan shook his head at him: It doesn't matter, now let's listen to what Dad has to say.

When Shen Linfeng heard this, he immediately folded his arms in front of him, showing an expression that he was not afraid of trouble when seeing the excitement: That's right, to be honest, I have never seen Dad come to such a place. Let's hear what kind of story Dad will make up to make Mom forgive him!

Bang!

Shen Linfeng was still exchanging glances with Shen Chaoyan, and suddenly someone slapped him on the back of his head.

He turned his head and glared at Shen Qingyuan who suddenly hit him. Just as he was about to ask him why he hit someone for no reason, he heard Shen Qingyuan speak in a frustrated tone, "You little bastard! How many times have I told you not to come to Hongxiulou? Why do you always ignore my words? Look, if I hadn't followed you here today, you would have brought harm to your mother and your sister!"

Shen Linfeng: "..."

That's not right!

What was the plot for his father to leave? He

didn't even tell him in advance!

But why did he sound so wrong, as if he had become the scapegoat?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Qingyuan slapped him again to confirm his guilt, "Feng'er, your father just told you so many truths, just because I don't want you to go astray. Weren't you doing well running the shop every day before? Tell me, how many days have passed? Why are you going back to your old ways?"

"It's not me..."

"Alright, alright!"

Shen Linfeng was about to deny it when Shen Qingyuan grabbed his arm.

Shen Qingyuan gave him a look: Son, if you help me hide it tonight, I will give you whatever you want.

Shen Linfeng raised his eyebrows three times: Three thousand taels.

Shen Qingyuan glared: Three thousand taels? Why don’t you rob? Three hundred taels at most?

Shen Linfeng raised his eyebrows again: At least one thousand taels, or I will tell my mother that you came to Hongxiulou for fun and I happened to catch you. Shen Qingyuan

: Good boy, what good will it do you to cheat your old father to death? Four hundred taels, no more!

Shen Linfeng: Eight hundred taels! Not a penny less!

Does this kid know that the private money he secretly saved is eight hundred taels?

Shen Qingyuan knew his son's character too well, and gritted his teeth and agreed: Deal!

So, Shen Linfeng immediately hugged Lu Qiyun and took all the responsibility on himself, "Mom, Dad can testify for me, I just came here tonight to drink and listen to music, nothing else! By the way, don't doubt my dad! My dad just accompanied me to drink and listen to music, he is so loyal to you, he definitely didn't look for a girl!"

Shen Qingyuan, "..."

He didn't feel like his son's tone was helping him to clarify, but instead he felt that the more he explained, the worse it got!
