Chapter 16 The Heroine is Here
"I was just about to tell Mom about this. Dad was too much. He only prepared a potted evergreen tree. Mom asked him to prepare a generous gift, but Dad only prepared an evergreen tree. He even asked me to deliver it. Isn't he asking me to go there and get stabbed in the eye?"
My mother will know about this sooner or later. Instead of getting scolded then, it’s better to confess now.
He not only didn't earn any money but also made a wasted trip. He was determined not to take the blame for this matter.
So, Chen Yaoxing cleared himself of all charges. He was just following orders and it had nothing to do with him.
Why not give an evergreen tree? If this gets out, where will the Duke's Mansion's reputation be?
Mrs. Shen's breath was choked, her beautiful eyes frowned, and just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard the happy voice of the little milk bag.
[As expected of my father, well done.]
Evergreen trees symbolize happiness, longevity, and peace. Aren't they more sincere than those vulgar things like gold, silver, and jewelry? Those vulgar things can be left to a vulgar person like me.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen's anger instantly dissipated.
She smiled helplessly. This father and daughter... there was really nothing she could do about them.

The night is quiet.
In the boudoir of Su Taiwei's mansion, the furniture on display is all made of golden nanmu, the table is full of pearls and jade, and a faint fragrance wafts through the room.
On the bed, the woman who had been unconscious for many days slowly opened her eyes and looked at the curtain in front of her. She sat up suddenly and looked around. Everything she saw was unfamiliar.
This? What is this place?
She was just too tired after a night of live streaming and took a nap. How come she woke up to find herself in this quaint place?
"Miss, Miss, you are finally awake. Someone come quickly, Miss is awake."
When the excited voice sounded, Su Haitang noticed that there was a little girl lying next to the bed.
Soon, a group of people came in. Leading the group was a woman with outstanding temperament and appearance. The woman cried and held her hand, calling her "Little Begonia" and showing great care for her.
Su Haitang blinked, a little confused.
She was clearly sleeping, so how did she get to the crew of a costume drama?
Well, since she was asked to act, she would just accept it reluctantly. But, should she read the script before acting?
Su Haitang glanced at the excited group of people, and finally her gaze fell on Madam Su. She lowered her voice, which was hoarse from being unconscious for too long, and said, "Sister, you guys will be acting later. Can I see the script and see what you are acting out?"
She stayed up late every night to live broadcast. Although the top brother gave her a lot of tips, she always had a dream of becoming an actress.
She must cherish this opportunity.
Little did she know that as soon as she said this, everyone looked at her in astonishment.
Mrs. Su was even more terrified, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Would her little Haitang’s brain not be burned out?
"Hurry, go call the imperial physician!" Madam Su raised her voice and urged urgently.
“???”
Su Haitang looked confused. She just needed to look at the script, why call for the imperial physician?
How does she act next?

Shen Yuanhong finished his official business, and when he came back, Shen Yaoxing and Shen Qingyi were having dinner with Mrs. Shen.
Shen Yuanhong sat beside Madam Shen, took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped his hands, and said casually, "I just heard that the young lady of the Su family woke up and was talking nonsense. Madam Su was so scared that she sent someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician overnight."
He placed the used towel on the table, picked up the crispy shrimp with a bamboo knife and took a bite. When he was about to take a second bite, Shen Wan's voice came to him.
[That's not nonsense, it's clearly the heroine.]
[The heroine will then become the center of attention, and the King of Jin will fall in love with her.]
[However, since both of them are already engaged, if they want to be together openly, there will be many people who will become stepping stones.]
[For example, our Shen family is their biggest obstacle and must be eliminated.]
"^"
The four of them listened to the little milk bag's inner voice, their faces showing no emotion, but they were already furious in their hearts.
Shen Qingyi's heart tightened in an instant, and she found it difficult to breathe.
Regardless of whether she is willing to do so or not, this marriage was granted by the late emperor and they cannot cancel it just because they want to.
Knowing that Shen Qingyi could also hear the little milk bag's voice, Madam Shen glanced at her with eyes full of heartache.
Shen Yuanhong clenched his fists, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
Everything Xiao Wan'er said has not happened yet, which means there is still a chance to change. This time, he will definitely protect his wife and daughter, and kill gods and Buddhas who stand in his way!
"Nonsense?" Mrs. Shen said softly at this time: "Is your brain burned out? In that case, we must think carefully about this marriage."
These words made the three of them look at her in surprise. How could they have expected that their mother would have such an idea?
After a moment, Shen Yuanhong's eyes were filled with fondness, and he chuckled softly, "Madam is absolutely right."
[Wow, look at Daddy's eyes, he's almost glued to Mommy, so sweet.]
Hearing the little baby's voice, Mrs. Shen's pretty face immediately turned red, and her beauty was so moving that Shen Yuanhong swallowed his saliva.
Chen Yaoxing coughed lightly, interrupting the pink bubbles lingering around him.
My parents are too clingy, making us seem redundant. He can't bear to see this.
"Let's wait for Big Brother to come back and ask for his opinion on this matter."
Shen Yaoxing said.
Madam Shen shyly avoided Shen Yuanhong's burning gaze and nodded: "Then let's wait until Mu'er comes back. I have sent a letter to Lao Qi. They should be back on the day of Xiao Wan'er's full moon."
The next day, the sky was clear.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yelin came to the door.
Shen Qingyi went to see Xiao Yelin, and Shen Yaoxing was playing with the little kid in the bored room.
"Little sister, the King of Jin is your third sister's fiancé. When you are one month old, your second brother will take you to meet him."
Chen Wan pouted and made a babbling sound.
[Who wants to see that so-called Prince of Jin? He's not my brother-in-law, why would he claim to be my brother-in-law?]
Seeing her like this, Chen Yaoxing smiled with curved eyebrows and waved the cloth tiger in front of her.
"..." Chen Wan's face was full of black lines. He was swaying back and forth so much that he was almost cross-eyed.
The little kid was so angry that he stretched out his little hands to grab the cloth tiger and put it in his arms.
Chen Yaoxing smiled even more happily, and reached out to gently pinch her little face, "It seems that my little sister is very happy. Are you looking forward to meeting my third brother-in-law?"
[Second brother, are you bullying me because I can't speak? ]
Chen Wan no longer held the cloth tiger, but moved her round body and faced him with her butt.
I don't want to pay any attention to him.
Chen Yaoxing tried hard to hold back his laughter, but he almost broke down laughing.
My little sister is so cute.
If she knew that they could hear her thoughts, I wonder what expressions they would have?
Chen Yaoxing thought with anticipation.
**
Front garden.
"Qingyi, what do you think?" Xiao Yelin looked at the woman in front of him affectionately, wishing he could marry her home immediately.
"Brother Ye Lin, I'm sorry for you," Shen Qingyi's face showed guilt.
