Chapter 256 What do I want to do to you
"Maybe he went out to play with friends. I'm not sure. Madam suddenly asked about him. Is there something you want to talk to him about?"
If he interfered in Lu Li's affairs, he must not let the news leak out. Therefore, even when Madam Shen asked, Shen Yuanhong did not reveal a single word.
As for secretly running off to find the princess, the matter between the two has not been settled yet, so it is best not to mention it, so as not to tarnish the princess's reputation.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shen Yuanhong looked at Mrs. Shen inquiringly.
In the past, the lady kept a close eye on Chen Yaoxing because she was afraid that he would get into trouble, so it was normal for him to ask a few more questions.
But now, the lady seemed a little anxious, with unconscious worry between her brows, and it was obvious that something was not right.
If we ask Chen Yaoxing about this situation, I'm afraid there must be some hidden story.
But, what is the hidden truth?
Could it be that the boy had encountered some kind of disaster?
After considering all the possibilities, Shen Yuanhong finally felt that this was the most likely possibility, and only this conclusion was most consistent with his wife's current condition.
Mrs. Shen shook her head in disappointment, then nodded.
"There is something going on. It's so late, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried. Husband, please send someone to find him."
"good."
Shen Yuanhong called his followers and told them to go find Shen Yaoxing.
At dinner time, it was time for Shen Wan to drink milk. The maid was feeding her in the East Garden, so Mrs. Shen did not bring her over.
Shen Yuanhao was accompanying Ye Yuese, so after sending away all the servants, only the Shen couple, Shen Mu, and Shen Qingyi were left in the hall.
Since there were no outsiders around, Shen Yuanhong stopped hiding his thoughts and asked directly, "Madam, why are you so anxious to find Yaoxing? What happened?"
"Alas, isn't it because the system has released a new task..."
Madam Shen sighed and briefly explained the mission. When she mentioned the props, her expression became worried again.
"Xiao Wan'er didn't go into detail about the props, but just from her tone, we can tell that they are so powerful that they are beyond our imagination. They are completely worthy of being called divine objects."
"Not only are there a large number of items, but each one has magical powers beyond imagination. More importantly, this mission is aimed at Yaoxing."
"Husband, although you and the children have profound internal strength, compared to those props, it is not even on the same level."
"As Xiao Wan'er said, the system's attack on the natives of this world is a complete dimensionality reduction attack. We will definitely not be able to withstand it. What should we do?"
If it really doesn't work, just confess to Xiao Wan'er?
If there is a glimmer of hope for their family, then that glimmer must be Xiao Waner.
Madam Shen held back these words and couldn't help wanting to say them out, but she had some reservations in her heart, so she didn't say them in the end.
Hearing this, Shen Yuanhong's expression became serious.
Not long ago, Xiao Wan'er was worried that the system would target Chen Yaoxing, and she specially prepared a heart-clearing talisman for him. But it hasn't been long since then, and Chen Yaoxing has really been targeted.
Should he say that Xiao Wan'er was very good at predicting things, or should he say that the system really could not tolerate their Shen family and was their sworn enemy?
Soon, Shen Yaoxing was found.
Shen Yuanhong's prediction was correct. After this kid had almost completed his mission, he took a break from his busy schedule and ran to the princess's mansion. When his followers found him, he was meeting with the princess in the Feige Pavilion.
"Dad, Mom, you rushed to find me. Did something big happen?"
As soon as he stepped into the hall, he keenly noticed that his parents looked a little solemn, and even his eldest brother and Shen Qingyi were looking at him with complicated expressions.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since his parents had shown such an expression. Chen Yaoxing couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint sense of uneasiness.
"Um."
Shen Yuanhong frowned and told him directly about the new tasks and props that Su Haitang had received and how this task was related to him.
I wondered what it was, but it turned out to be this. After hearing this, Chen Yaoxing's tense nerves relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike other people who were extremely nervous, he didn't take it too seriously.
I have long known that no matter whether Su Haitang's mission fails or succeeds, a new mission will be refreshed, and I have also long expected that as an important male supporting role, he is likely to be one of the tasks.
Therefore, he had already prepared himself mentally for these things.
But what exactly is the mission?
Dad hasn’t told me the content of the mission yet.
Just as he was about to ask further questions, Shen Yuanhong's voice continued to ring out.
"Wan'er didn't explain the mission and props clearly, so we don't know the details."
"However, Wan'er will tell you all this in a dream. Go to bed early tonight and remember to report to me tomorrow morning."
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
Oh, so, I called him back in such a hurry just to let him sleep and wait for my little sister to come into my dream?
But in this matter, is there any difference between going to bed early and going to bed late?
Is it because he went to bed too late that my little sister didn’t come into his dream to tell him?
Forget it, whatever dad says is fine.
Don't understand, but respect.
"Okay, I get it. But Dad asked me to come find you tomorrow morning. Isn't Dad going to court tomorrow morning? But I remember that Dad doesn't have a day off tomorrow."
"Well, I won't go. I will ask for leave from the emperor tomorrow."
How could this be as important as going to court?
He was eager to know more information about the mission as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to attend court with peace of mind.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be targeted so soon. I don't know what it wants to do to you."
On the way back to the yard, the three siblings walked side by side. Shen Qingyi walked in the middle. She turned her head and sighed and said something to Shen Yaoxing.
"What can they do? They can either make me lose my memory, or use a confuse tool on me to make me fall in love with that woman. Or else, they can plot to get me exiled."
Chen Yaoxing raised his eyebrows and replied nonchalantly.
As early as when he heard his father say that he was also one of the system's tasks this time, he had a rough guess in his mind.
Due to his younger sister's interference, his story has completely deviated. He should have been exiled for his crimes, but now he is still thriving in the capital and is still the noble second son of the Duke's Mansion.
And if the system wants to pull back the plot, it simply uses some means to make him follow the fate in the plot.
I just don't know whether the system intends to exile him first, or simply skip the exile step and use props directly on him, making him fall in love with Su Haitang and become Su Haitang's super bootlicker.
"Then, aren't you afraid?"
Seeing him look so nonchalant, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but ask.
She had been feeling uneasy since she heard about it, and had been feeling uneasy until now. So why was he so calm when it came to him, the person involved?
"Oh, what's the point of being afraid? Will being afraid make it let me go? Instead of being afraid, it's better to relax, think about countermeasures, and then, deal with it as it comes."
