Meng Yunfei grinned, raised her wine glass and clinked it with Chen Yong's, then lowered her eyelids guiltily and hurriedly took a sip of wine.
Well, she was young and energetic at that time, and she knew some basic kung fu, so she always liked to compete with others.
What a coincidence! She happened to see someone bullying her seventh brother, and she went up and beat the guy up, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.
As a result...I only found out later that my seventh brother really deserved a beating for cheating people out of their money.
However, now she finally knew that her seventh brother had been pretending before.
Even if her seventh brother was disguised as a playboy, she would not regret beating those people up. At most, her parents would scold her a few times.
Thinking of how her mother came to sever ties with her after the Shen family got into trouble, Meng Yunfei couldn't help feeling a dull pain in her heart.
Fortunately, she still has her seventh brother and mother, and so many sisters to rely on.
(Fifth Sister-in-law's dependency value: +6, total dependency value 51...)
(Total dependency value 283...)
Shen Yong glanced at Meng Yunfei's wine glass and smiled.
Just as he raised his glass and looked at Cao Huixian, Cao Huixian spoke first.
"Seventh brother, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here today."
"Also, thank you for keeping it a secret for me. Not only did you not despise me, you even secretly brought it to me..."
Having said that, Cao Huixian lowered her eyelids embarrassedly.
All the women in the Shen family lowered their heads and laughed muffledly.
This girl is so simple-minded. She really thinks no one knows her secrets.
Not to mention that they all knew it, everyone in the Shen Mansion knew it before.
It’s okay if the food you like to eat is a little unusual, it’s just a personal preference.
Cao Huixian blushed, raised her glass and looked at Shen Yong.
"Come on, cheers!"
After taking a sip of wine, Cao Huixian regretted why she mentioned the "secret".
What would she say if her sisters-in-law asked her about this?
Chen Yong looked at Cao Huixian's tangled and regretful look, smiled, and hurriedly helped to cover it up.
"Well, Sixth Sister-in-law, you are too polite. What girl doesn't like sweets?"
"Don't worry, you can eat freely from now on. There will be plenty of desserts in the imperial kitchen."
Cao Huixian looked up at Chen Yong with shining eyes and nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, then I won't be polite. Seventh brother is so nice, hehe~~~"
Hehe, Seventh Brother is smart and helped her to fool it.
(Fifth Sister-in-law's dependency value: +4, total dependency value 59...)
(Total dependency value 281...)
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled, then looked at Cao Huixian deeply.
Seeing Cao Huixian's innocent expression when she looked at him, his heart skipped a beat.
Among these women, Cao Huixian has the highest dependence on him, almost 60.
A dependency value of 50 is a hurdle, 60 is also a hurdle, and 80 is a huge hurdle.
I only need 19 more dependency points to buy the Elixir of Immortality.
It seems that it would be easier to obtain these 19 dependency points from the third, fifth and sixth sisters-in-law.
"Come, come, eat the food. These are made according to the tastes that mother and sisters-in-law like."
"Try it and if you're not satisfied with anything, ask the imperial kitchen to make it again..."
Chen Yong smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up the serving chopsticks to serve food to everyone.
........
At this time, all the relatives of the Shen family sneaked into the Cheng Mansion at night.
"Sir Cheng, what's the matter that you asked us to come here so late?!" Sir Lu, the Minister of War, who was sitting below Sir Wan, frowned and looked at him.
Ever since Shen Yong suddenly attacked the capital and became the emperor in the blink of an eye, he has not dared to go out for several days.
In just a few days, his hair turned white from worry.
If he had not had such an ugly quarrel with the Shen family, and if he had not asked his wife to come and sever the engagement with their daughter, his Lu Mansion would have been crowded with people coming to congratulate him by now.
But now... hey, there is no one at the gate of Lu Mansion.
Everyone in the city knew that Shen Yong had returned with his army alone, without any female members of the Shen family.
The journey to exile was so difficult, I think the women of the Shen family were probably in great danger.
In this way, he dared not show up in front of the new emperor.
General Meng, who was sitting next to Lord Lu, also had a worried look on his face. "Tell me, why did you all try to kick someone when he was down? Now you've become a thorn in the new emperor's side."
General Meng was so angry. He was sent to the south by the deposed emperor to suppress bandits and missed the incident of the Shen family being confiscated and exiled.
If he were in the capital, he would never allow his wife to do such a stupid thing.
The dog is abandoned after the rabbit is dead. He is also a general. The ending of the Shen family makes him feel disheartened.
Unfortunately, the lady could not withstand the pressure from the Meng family and went to the Shen family to break off the engagement with her daughter.
By the time he returned to Beijing after being seriously injured while suppressing bandits, the Shen family had long since disappeared.
The six people in the living room all froze in expression and pursed their lips in embarrassment.
Under the circumstances at that time, they had no right to speak.
The deposed emperor was forcing them to sever their ties with the Shen family. If they refused, their entire family would surely be exiled.
Who can bear this?
Grand Historian Cao looked at General Meng's pale face and said with concern,
"Is General Meng's injury still not healed? He looks a little pale."
Among the few people, only General Meng was not in the capital at the time. It was most appropriate for General Meng to go to negotiate with Shen Yong. They were both military generals and could have common topics.
General Meng covered his chest and coughed lightly, "It's not that fast, but it's much better now."
The sword almost stabbed his heart, and he had to lie down for more than a month before he recovered.
Fortunately, he was seriously injured, otherwise the deposed emperor would definitely send him to fight at the city gate.
"It's good that you're much better." Lord Cao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lord Cheng hesitantly.
Master Cheng and Master Cao exchanged a glance, the corners of their lips curled slightly, and their eyes swept across the worried faces of the crowd, and they smiled faintly.
"I'm sure you're all curious why I called you all here so late."
As soon as Lord Cheng opened his mouth, everyone looked at him.
Minister of Rites Ren frowned slightly and continued, "But is it related to the huge flying object that suddenly appeared in the sky?!"
Lord Lu frowned and muttered, "What does a flying object have to do with us, hey!"
Although he was very curious when he first saw the strange flying object, his curiosity was not as important as what he was worried about at the moment.
Emperor Qianhuang had just ascended the throne and was busy with many things, so he didn't have time to settle accounts with them.
Once the deposed emperor's lineage is eliminated, it will probably be their turn.
So he has no interest in being curious about flying objects or not.
The other people who were just a little curious, felt their hearts tighten when they heard what Lord Lu muttered, and they all sighed.
Indeed, what does it have to do with them?
Master Cheng curled his lips and smiled, "It has a lot to do with us."
