Accompanied by Shen Tianhao with great care, Chen Yan stepped into the flat Xicui Courtyard paved with bluestone, passed through a colorful garden, and walked to the end of the courtyard.
Chen Yan looked up and saw a tall building with flying eaves and pointed corners, hidden among the flowers and trees swaying in the wind.
This is Xicuiyuan where the original owner lived.
Although the original owner was a disgrace to the Shen family and even the Nanxiao Kingdom, her treatment was not too bad because she had her father Shen Tianhao as her backer. However, she lacked cultivation resources, and when Shen Tianhao was not around, almost no one in the Shen family would treat her well, and many people even bullied her secretly.
"Yan'er, the doctor will be here soon."
Shen Tianhao carefully supported her, looking at the injuries and dried blood on her body, his eyes couldn't help but feel sore.
Shen Yan retracted her gaze, looked at Shen Tianhao, and asked quite seriously: "Dad, if one day, I kill Shen Xue, what will you think of me?"
Shen Tianhao was shocked when he heard this.
Immediately, Shen Tianhao said bitterly: “That’s what she deserves!”
"Yan'er, I'm sorry. It's not that Daddy won't avenge you. Now Xue... Shen Xue is protected by your grandfather and the elders, and even everyone in the Shen family..."
As Shen Tianhao was talking, he realized something and his face froze. He was shocked to realize that he was a fool before. How could he not realize that Shen Xue was actually a hypocritical person, and she was very good at winning people's hearts.
If Shen Xue had been dissatisfied with Yan'er from the beginning, then...
Shen Tianhao looked at her anxiously: “Yan’er, has she been bullying you all these years?”
"Yeah." Chen Yan did not deny it, because in the original owner's memory, Shen Xue either directly or indirectly caused the original owner to be injured, and his reputation became worse and worse.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianhao clenched his fists fiercely, and the veins in his neck bulged. It seemed that he could no longer bear it. When he turned around and was about to settle the score with Shen Xue——
The sleeve was pulled.
Shen Tianhao looked back and saw Yan'er's unusually calm face.
Chen Yan said calmly: "Dad, there is no rush for revenge."
"But..." Shen Tianhao's tears welled up. Finally, he raised his strong arms and hugged Shen Yan tightly. He said with suppressed emotions: "Daddy is not a good father. He failed to take care of you in time. Daddy is sorry for you. He can't even avenge you."
Chen Yan's body was stiff and she felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't been hugged so tightly for a long time.
In fact, Shen Tianhao has done a very good job as a father.
In this 'cannibalistic' family, although the original owner was stupid, he also received the proper care and treatment, and all this was because of Shen Tianhao.
As for the biological mother of the original owner and his younger brother Shen Huai, she never appeared.
It is said that on a stormy day fourteen or fifteen years ago, Shen Tianhao, a talented summoner who had been away from home for many years, was suddenly seriously injured and forced himself to return to the Shen family with a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
He only announced to the public that the twin boy and girl were his children.
But there was no mention of the biological mother of the twins.
To this day, the mysterious biological mother is still a taboo word in the Shen family.
Even before his younger brother Shen Huai left home to study at the Western Region Academy, he specifically asked Shen Tianhao about it. Shen Tianhao was furious and punished Shen Huai by making him kneel in the Shen family's ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan slowly said: "Dad, I want to practice, whether it is Shen Xue or Nangong Yu, I want to solve it myself."
These words made Shen Tianhao stunned.
"Yan'er, you..."
Chen Yan quickly explained, "On my way back, I met a mysterious and powerful old man. He said in an unfathomable manner that I could cultivate spiritual power, as long as I could find the Blood-sucking Pearl."
Shen Tianhao frowned, feeling confused and uncertain.
Seeing him like this, Chen Yan suddenly thought of something. As her eyes flickered, she couldn't help but ask tentatively, "That old man also said that my main spiritual bone was sealed by a strange poison..."
These words made Shen Tianhao's face change in shock.
"How could it be..." He stared at Chen Yan with an expression of disbelief. He held her arms with both hands, his lips trembling violently, and he wanted to say something but stopped himself many times.
Chen Yan frowned and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Tianhao looked distraught, as if recalling some painful memory. He murmured tearfully, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yan'er, it's all Daddy's fault!"
Seeing this, Chen Yan's eyes floated. She was already sure of two things. Father Shen didn't know that the main spiritual bone in her body was sealed by poison, but... Father Shen was very likely to know who sealed her main spiritual bone.
Just then, the servant arrived with the doctor.
"Young Master, Doctor Huang is here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianhao quickly adjusted his mood.
He let Chen Yan into the room without delay, and then asked Doctor Huang to check Chen Yan's internal and external injuries.
Doctor Huang is a woman, so she can check Chen Yan's injuries all over her body.
Shen Tianhao and the servant left the room.
Ling Yuan, a pretty maid, was about to help Chen Yan take off her bloodstained clothes when she was stopped by Chen Yan: "Wait a moment."
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of disgust appeared in her eyes.
"Wait, what's there to wait for!" She didn't know that Chen Yan had regained consciousness, so she just went straight in and pulled Chen Yan's clothes as before.
As soon as she started, a hand grabbed her wrist with such force that it almost crushed her bones.
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts!" Ling Yuan let out a sharp scream.
Doctor Huang was stunned when he saw this. Just when he was about to come over to check the situation, he was glanced at by Chen Yan indifferently.
This glance was like a blanket of frost that made her stop in her tracks, and a trace of fear arose in her heart.
Chen Yan's cold voice sounded.
"I said, wait a moment."
As she spoke, she let go of Ling Yuan's wrist.
But Ling Yuan felt pain and seemed to have lost her mind. In anger, she wanted to raise her hand and slap Chen Yan like she did before.
"How dare you hurt me, you idiot!"
Before Ling Yuan's hand hit Shen Yan's face, a muffled sound was heard.
Bang--
Ling Yuan was suddenly kicked away and hit hard on the dressing table. In an instant, there was a "clang clang" sound, and the broken bronze mirror scratched Ling Yuan.
"Ahhh!" Ling Yuan felt a pain in the back of her waist. When she felt blood on her hand, she screamed in horror.
When Shen Tianhao and the guards who were guarding outside the room heard this, their expressions changed.
Shen Tianhao almost broke into Shen Yan's boudoir, but he held back and asked with the last bit of rationality: "Yan'er, what happened in there?"
Chen Yan glanced at Ling Yuan, who was still panicking, indifferently, and replied calmly: "It's okay, there was just a little mouse bumping around."
