Chapter 75: Framed, Dad is in trouble
"How did you do the last time I asked you to do it?"
Shen Yuanhong did not answer him immediately, but asked back.
"I've found everything my father asked me to collect, but I haven't found anything about the people I secretly investigated on Su Chongyuan's side."
"Okay, then let's start planning. Since we can't get our Shen family out, then let's drag all the prominent figures in the capital into this."
"Yes, Dad, don't worry, I will definitely do this beautifully."
*
East Garden.
Except for the two brothers Shen Yuanhong and Shen Yuanhao, the whole family gathered together.
Looking at the harmonious and peaceful appearance of the whole family, and then looking at Chen Mu sitting in the wheelchair, Chen Wan's little face frowned tightly, and she kept muttering to herself.
[Hey, that's not right. Counting the days, my brother can clearly stand up now, so why is he still in a wheelchair?]
【Could something have gone wrong? 】
"That shouldn't be the case. Big Brother has clearly practiced the Xiaoyao Nine Classics, and all his meridians are almost healed. What could be the problem?"
[Oh, I can't figure it out. I'll cry and ask Big Brother to hug me later. I must feel his pulse carefully to find out what's going on.]
【……】
Listening to Shen Wan's inner voice, the other people in the Shen family who knew about it looked at Shen Mu silently, especially Shen Qingyi, who sighed slightly in her heart.
Oh, what a fool is the eldest brother. His legs are obviously healed, but he still wants to continue pretending. He also warned her and Chen Yaoxing not to tell anyone that he is healed. I don’t know what he is pretending to do.
Look, he pretends to be happy, but my little sister is almost doubting her life.
"Wow……"
Suddenly, Chen Wan burst into tears and stretched out her little arms towards Chen Mu as usual.
[Forget it, forget it, no need to wait, let’s do it now. ]
"I want to see what kind of medical accident happened. This is unbelievable no matter how I think about it."
【Big brother, hold me, let me show you. 】
Everyone: “…”
"Don't cry, little sister. Don't cry, little sister. I will hold you."
Shen Qingyi reacted very quickly and went over to pick up the crying Shen Wan. Although she knew that she did it on purpose, she still couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her crystal tears and red eyes.
"Don't cry, little sister."
She held Shen Wan in her arms and rocked her, coaxing her softly.
“Woo…”
Chen Wan continued to cry and stretched out her arms towards Chen Mu.
[Sister, carry me to find big brother and let him hold me.]
"Sister is so smart and understands me so well, she will definitely understand what I mean, right? 】
“…”
Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and did not immediately hug her over. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Chen Mu in embarrassment.
Big brother is pretending. If I really let me feel his pulse, I would definitely be able to tell. But I don’t know what big brother means. I don’t know if he wants me to know that he is pretending.
"My little sister seems to want me to hold her. Qingyi, bring her over here."
Chen Mu smiled slightly and spoke softly.
[Wow, this time it was Big Brother who understood what I meant first.]
It seems that although my sister is smart and understands me, my brother is a little smarter and understands me a little better.
Shen Qingyi: "..."
No, if she hadn't been concerned about her elder brother's intentions, she would have understood it long ago, okay?
It’s a pity that my younger sister will never know her good intentions. Alas.
"Give."
Walking to Shen Mu's side, Shen Qingyi bent down slightly and handed Shen Wan over.
Chen Mu hugged her and said softly, "My little sister seems to have grown a little taller and gained a little weight."
[That's because babies grow fast and I eat a lot, so of course I've grown a lot.]
"Brother, I need to take your pulse. Don't put any force on this arm."
Shen Wan grabbed his arm that was placed above her body with both hands and pulled it out with force.
Seeing that she was using all her strength, Chen Mu smiled slightly, cooperated with her calmly, and raised his arm a little.
[Ah, no wonder they say it's easier to get along with smart people. Look how cooperative Big Brother is! He knows what I mean when I pull his arm, saving me a lot of effort.]
This pulse condition...
"There's clearly nothing wrong with my pulse. Big Brother should have recovered several days ago. Why can't he stand up yet?"
【Could it be? Could it be?】
[Oh my god, why are you pretending when everything is fine? Who are you trying to fool? Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?]
[Let me think about it, is it because my mother forced me to get married that my eldest brother is pretending to be like this?]
[So, is he pretending to be married to avoid his mother's forced marriage, or is he testing the waters to find a noblewoman in the capital who is willing to stay with him forever?]
[Alright, alright, as long as Big Brother is fine, it's fine. If you want to pretend, then pretend. If you want to lie, then lie.]
Chen Mu: “…”
Twins: "..."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Several people looked at Chen Mu in unison, their eyes inquiring.
Mother had known for a long time that eldest brother's legs had healed. When he stood up, he asked someone to tell her. So she was very sure that he was pretending not to be okay in order to avoid being forced into marriage by mother.
So, could it be true that as my younger sister said, he was trying to deceive the noble ladies in the capital?
The more people thought about it, the more likely this was.
Well, this is also a good way to choose a wife.
Although you may miss out on many noble ladies from wealthy families, it is better not to marry a lady who can only share wealth and glory but not hardships.
Noticing everyone's gazes, Chen Mu sighed helplessly. It seemed that everyone had already decided that he was pretending in order to choose a wife.
[Eh, I feel like the looks from my mom, older sisters, and older brothers are a little strange.]
[What happened? Or is it my imagination?]
[By the way, it's been a few days since the princess was assassinated, and things have been peaceful and calm at home lately. It seems like the idea of Dad being framed probably didn't happen.]
【It's good that it didn't happen. This would have saved us a lot of trouble.】
[However, if this is the case, the plot will go astray. I can't be sure if the people who assassinated the princess are the same ones in the original plot.]
【……】
Upon hearing this, Chen Yaoxing's whole body trembled instantly, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.
From what I heard, does this mean I really know who assassinated the princess?
Just because they didn't mention in front of her that her father was framed, she thought the plot had gone astray?
Thinking of this, Chen Yaoxing's eyes flashed and a plan came to his mind.
He pretended to be worried and said, "Mom, big brother, Dad has been in trouble recently. I think our Shen family must be secretly being targeted by someone."
"You'd better be careful these past few days. It's best not to go out alone. If you must go out, bring a few more people with you."
[What? What happened to Dad?]
[Is this related to the princess' assassination? ]
[Could you please speak faster? I'm so anxious.]
【……】
Listening to Shen Wan's thoughts before and after, and thinking of Shen Yaoxing's sudden words, Shen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of many things in an instant.
"What do you mean? Yaoxing, what happened to Dad?"
