Shen Jingchuan seemed easy to get along with, but upon first meeting him, I scrutinized and sized him up...
It was as if they wanted to see right through him!
Moreover, Shen Jingchuan was firmly opposed to the two being together from the very beginning. Even after they got married, they only met a few times. Although they seemed polite, Song Yuxiu always felt that Shen Jingchuan disliked him very much.
At this moment, he handed the spear in his hand to the person beside him, then bent down and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground.
It gleamed coldly, the blade was sharp, and it was stained with blood.
"Young Master Song just said that the Lady of the Marquis has lost her mind?" Shen Jingchuan toyed with the dagger in his hand.
Song Yuxiu covered his wound and said, "Something happened before, and my mother couldn't take it, so she lost her mind."
"If you knew she was mentally unstable, why did you let her go out?"
“I originally intended to send her to the estate. I went to buy some things, but the servants didn’t keep an eye on her, so…” Song Yuxiu appeared innocent and aggrieved, “Please, young master, have mercy and release my mother.”
Shen Jingchuan chuckled: "Song Yuxiu, do you think I'm a fool!"
His voice was light and airy, but his eyes were sharp.
It was so beautiful that one dared not look directly at it!
Song Yuxiu felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze, and his whole body tensed up.
No, impossible!
Judging from Shen Jingchuan's appearance, he must have just arrived in the capital. Even Shen Zhiyi hadn't discovered the secret plot he was plotting with his grandmother, let alone his brother. So he composed himself and asked, "Young Master, what do you mean by that?"
"You're not stupid! I am!"
“Otherwise, Zhiyi wanted to divorce me, and I risked my life to save her. I was the biggest fool.”
He looked aggrieved, staring intently at Shen Zhiyi with deep affection.
Anyone who didn't know better would really think he was very affectionate.
Shen Jingchuan just smiled, hooked the dagger in his hand, and walked up to Song Yuxiu. "You just said that your mother was not in her right mind, so she did not mean to hurt anyone."
"I would like to ask, how did a person who is mentally unstable escape from the servant's control?"
"And it located my younger sister's position with perfect accuracy;"
"even……"
"Carry a sharp weapon!"
“What kind of good person would hide a dagger on their person? I don’t think she did it on purpose, but rather…” Shen Jingchuan shot a cold glare at Madam Chen. Her back was in excruciating pain, and her mouth was full of blood. At this moment, she was so frightened that her legs went weak. “Madam Hou, a madman will hurt anyone indiscriminately.”
"But you came straight for my sister, which clearly indicates you had a specific target and premeditated plan. What are you doing..."
"Intentionally wanted to kill someone!"
Chen's breathing became rapid. "So what if I want to kill her? If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be like this."
Shen Jingchuan chuckled, "A madman carrying a blade, yet the people of your Marquis's mansion didn't notice? I even suspect..."
As he spoke, he suddenly moved closer to Song Yuxiu.
His voice was extremely low, his breath icy cold, pressing against Song Yuxiu's ear, "Song Yuxiu, could all of this have been part of your plan?"
In short,
Song Yuxiu's face turned pale.
He was incredibly perceptive.
The next second, his entire body froze, because...
The dagger in Shen Jingchuan's hand was already pressed against Song Yuxiu's waist. Due to the angle, others couldn't see it. He smirked and said, "Song Yuxiu, you've betrayed my sister. Now put away that affectionate face of yours. It disgusts me."
"Stay away from my sister, or else..."
I will kill you!
The murder was leaked unexpectedly.
Song Yuxiu felt as if his whole body was frozen, and dared not move rashly.
As he spoke, Shen Jingchuan had already sheathed his dagger, took a half step back, and patted Song Yuxiu on the shoulder. "Hurry up and find a clinic to treat your injuries. While you're at it, get your head checked too. Not everyone is so stupid that they can't see through your little tricks."
Song Yuxiu was terrified.
He didn't have much contact with Shen Jingchuan and didn't know him well, but he was still polite when they met.
Shen Jingchuan turned around and handed the dagger to his subordinates, instructing them to take the dagger and Chen Shi to the government office together.
Chen pleaded desperately, but Song Yuxiu turned a deaf ear, for he had completely lost the ability to think.
No!
This shouldn't be the case.
He had everything planned out.
When his mother attempted to assassinate him, he heroically saved her. If Shen Zhiyi was moved, she would surely obey him as before.
At that time, the mother's responsibility will not be pursued.
Everyone knows that her mother cheated on her husband, so it's impossible for her to stay in the Marquis's mansion.
This plan is simply to make the most of her remaining value. As long as Shen Zhiyi doesn't pursue the matter, she will be sent to the estate to live out her old age on the grounds that she is mentally unstable.
Then Shen Jingchuan appeared!
His keen insight was completely unexpected.
With just a few words, the situation was turned around, and the people began to suspect that Chen had mental problems and that it might be fake. After all, a madman's actions could not be planned or premeditated.
"Zhiyi, you and Miss Wen go back to the manor first. I still need to go to the palace to report back." Shen Jingchuan had already concealed his murderous aura and looked at his younger sister with a smile.
"Sister Wen injured her leg, I need to accompany her to the clinic first."
After Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, Shen Jingchuan's gaze fell on Wen Qing's leg. "Where are you injured?"
"It's alright, Brother Shen, you should hurry to the palace so you don't miss the appointed time," Wen Qing said.
"It won't delay taking you to the clinic."
Before leaving, Shen Zhiyi glanced at Song Yuxiu and said, "Young Master Song, you should also go and see a doctor about your injury. Don't delay your treatment."
Song Yuxiu had been completely despondent, but Shen Zhiyi's words rekindled his spirits.
she……
They still care about themselves!
This means he still has a chance.
really,
If the self-inflicted injury tactic works on her once, it will work on her a second time.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingchuan frowned slightly but said nothing. He simply had the maid help his sister and Wen Qing into the carriage. Shen Zhiyi looked at her elder brother and said, "Brother, you should get in too."
"I can ride a horse."
"I miss my older brother and want to have a private chat with him."
When Shen Jingchuan heard his sister say she missed him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Shen Yiyi, behave yourself and stop teasing me."
Shen Zhiyi remained silent, climbed into the carriage, and then looked at Wen Qing with a smile, "Sister Wen, isn't my eldest brother very boring? He's extremely dull."
“Brother Shen is a warrior who has fought on the battlefield, so he must be serious in normal times.”
"You think my brother is good?" Shen Zhiyi leaned closer to her, staring intently at her with a smile on her face, whether she was serious or just teasing her was unclear.
Wen Qing felt her ears burning and didn't know how to answer.
Shen Zhiyi sighed, "My brother is indeed good, but there's one thing he's not quite right about."
"What?"
“He’s not young anymore, and he’s not married. My parents are worried sick about this. He was brandishing a knife and gun outside just now, and I saw that the people around him were terrified. If word gets out, I’m afraid even fewer people will dare to marry him.”
Wen Qing pursed her lips. "Some people are afraid, and naturally, some people like it."
"And you? Are you scared..."
"You still like it?"
After just a few words, Wen Qing's face turned completely red.
