Chapter 114: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises
He had originally wanted to be cautious and sneak a peek at her barrier, but...
Hearing those thoughts, Shen Yuanhong raised his eyebrows and looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. So, it was Xiao Wan'er who controlled Yaoxing to go out just now?
What did you go out to do?
Normally, Xiao Wan'er would not do such a thing just to go out alone. She must be going to do something important.
Could it be that it was really because of the mysterious power he sensed when he and Shen Yuanhao returned home?
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Shen Yuanhong carried Shen Wan to the couch by the window and sat down.
"Xiao Wan'er, where did your second brother take you? Don't follow him around. He's unreliable and might get lost."
【No way.】
Hearing this, Shen Wan immediately began to refute in her heart.
"Dad, that's not right. I was the one who controlled my second brother to take me out, not him. Also, even though my second brother is a bit of a jerk, he loves me very much and wouldn't abandon me."
[The last time we went out to play in the snow, my second brother was afraid I'd get cold, so he used his inner strength to shield me from the cold for quite a while.]
"Chen Yaoxing."
He suddenly looked up at the young man who was still standing at the door.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Chen Yaoxing came back to his senses, strode over, and looked at him in confusion.
"Just now, when your seventh uncle and I came back, I sensed a very mysterious power in the mansion. Do you know what it is?"
“…”
Chen Yaoxing was slightly stunned, and immediately guessed in his heart that the mysterious power his father mentioned was probably the barrier created by his younger sister.
But he can't say it.
He shook his head and subconsciously looked at Chen Wan, who widened her eyes.
[Second brother, my father is asking you a question, why are you looking at me? ]
[I'm just a kid, I don't know anything. What happened today was just an accident. That Su Haitang and the system are targeting our family. I just wanted to try it out because I had no other choice.]
[Also, Dad's perception is too sharp. He's only trained his internal energy, but he can sense fluctuations in his mental energy. Today, he even sensed the power of the barrier.]
[This talent is really good. It would be a waste if I don't practice it.]
What a shame! What a shame!
When these words were spoken, several people's hearts trembled slightly, especially Shen Yuanhong and Mrs. Shen.
Could it be that this barrier is her means of fighting against the system?
Thinking of this, the two felt a little more at ease.
In the afternoon, Chen Wan had eaten and drunk her fill, and happily went to sleep with the cloth tiger in her arms.
After she fell asleep, Chen Yaoxing was put on trial by three judges.
Madam Shen raised her eyebrows and said, "Yaoxing, you were the one who accompanied Xiaowan'er this morning. Tell her what happened quickly."
"That's right. Tell me everything quickly and without missing a word. Listen carefully. Don't miss a single word."
Shen Yuanhong added.
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
"Yes, please rest assured, Dad and Mom, I will not miss a single word."
He told her everything he had heard in the morning in silence.
"My younger sister said she wanted to set up a barrier in the mansion to resist the system's monitoring."
"However, we still don't know whether we can withstand it or not, because the system is currently busy monitoring Prince Jin and can't take care of us."
"My little sister also said that the best location for the barrier is right in the center of our house, but she can't walk, so she needs someone to carry her there. Shen Qingyi and I are the ones she chose as tools."
"Of course, I'm the first choice, and Shen Qingyi is the backup."
Shen Qingyi: "..."
"I don't know what happened after I was controlled by my younger sister. I don't know how I got out of the door, nor do I know where my younger sister chose to place the barrier, let alone how I got back."
After explaining this matter, he suddenly thought of the matter of Prince Jin, glanced at Madam Shen and Shen Qingyi, and finally decided to use his internal force to transmit a message to Shen Yuanhong alone.
"Oh, by the way, Dad, I heard from my younger sister that the Emperor secretly sent Prince Jin to investigate Su Chongyuan, and Prince Jin will sneak into the Grand Marshal's Mansion tonight."
"But all his actions are under the control of the system, and the system has revealed this matter to Su Haitang."
"Su Haitang must have made some arrangements. If Prince Jin really goes to the Grand Marshal's Mansion tonight, Su Haitang will definitely stay behind to complete her mission."
"What should we do about this? Should we just sit back and watch, or should we make a plan and rescue Prince Jin?"
Shen Yuanhong: "..."
It's really like one crisis after another.
The Taiwei Mansion is the system's base, and to them, it is like a den of dragons and tigers. If they intervene and cause trouble, the system will probably hate them even more.
But if they don't care, the system will probably not let them go after completing the task.
Whether they like it or not, they will eventually become enemies.
What's more, Su Haitang had already said this morning that after she completed this task, she would target the Shen family and take action against them, bringing ruin to their reputation.
Now that things have come to this, how can he just stand by and watch?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanhong narrowed his eyes and transmitted a message.
"We must manage it."
"Even if it's not for Qingyi, she must not be allowed to complete the mission."
"Hey, Dad, Chen Yaoxing, why are you guys suddenly silent? Also, Dad, why do you look a little weird?"
Shen Qingyi couldn't hear their private conversation, and after seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, she couldn't help but ask.
It's such a big thing, how could it suddenly disappear? It's really strange.
Doesn’t Dad have anything to say about what Shen Yaoxing said?
"Qingyi, Dad wants to ask you, do you still like Prince Jin?"
Shen Yuanhong came back to his senses and looked up at his daughter in front of him. He has always loved his daughter. If Qingyi still likes Prince Jin, he is thinking about whether there is a better way.
Shen Qingyi didn't expect her father to ask this out of the blue, but she was stunned for only a few seconds before she said, "Father, in my heart, family is the most important thing. If Prince Jin brings trouble to everyone, I don't want this marriage."
"Whatever Dad wants to do, just do it."
The two of them were destined not to be together. He remembered what Xiao Wan'er said. After Prince Jin fell in love with Su Haitang, he used all kinds of despicable means on the Duke's Mansion. Even her death was related to him.
I can’t afford a man like this, let alone have one!
"Well, okay, Dad gets it. Qingyi has really grown up and become sensible."
After Shen Yuanhong praised her, he turned to look at Mrs. Shen.
"Madam, let Xiaowan'er sleep with us for the next few days. When you have something to do during the day, let Qingyi accompany Xiaowan'er. In short, Xiaowan'er must not be left alone."
"good."
Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement.
She understood what her husband meant. This was a special period, and her husband wanted them to listen to Xiao Waner's thoughts at all times so as not to miss anything important.
"Well, I have something to discuss with Yaoxing, so I'll be leaving first."
"good."
Shen Yuanhong stood up, looked at Shen Yaoxing, and said, "Let's go."
"Okay, Dad."
Touching his still dizzy head, Chen Yaoxing hurriedly followed.
At midnight, at the Taiwei Mansion.
Taking advantage of the time when the guards in the mansion were changing shifts, several dark shadows sneaked in silently and began to act separately.
