Shang Qinghan stood there, his lips moved several times, but he couldn't make a sound.
He wanted to refute it, but since he had done all of these things himself, he couldn't find a way to say it.
She could only stand there, staring at Si Jin with resentment in her eyes.
It seemed as if he was blaming the child who used to be all for him, but now was going against him at every turn.
“But Jingjing… Junior Uncle has no children, only this one nephew.”
Shang Qinghan pleaded, "It's all gone just like that. Junior Uncle is heartbroken and has no one to confide in."
"I'm sorry, Junior Uncle didn't mean to get angry at you, but you weren't poisoned by Junior Uncle. Junior Uncle is also trying to find a solution. Please don't be fooled by outsiders."
"After all, your junior uncle raised you for more than twenty years after your parents passed away!"
Seeing that Si Jin was adamant, Shang Qinghan simply changed his strategy and started to play the victim.
Thinking to himself: After all, he raised Si Jin. This child was only temporarily deceived by Shang Linyuan. He couldn't just leave him unattended.
Sure enough, Si Jin's expression softened: "I understand. I will bury Shang Deyi. Junior Uncle, go back and rest first. I will ask the kitchen to send you some food. Please accept my condolences."
Seeing that the man agreed, Shang Qinghan immediately thanked him and left.
The moment he turned around, his mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears in a wide grin.
Although he lost his nephew, he gained Jinjin's change of heart, so it was all worth it.
He said that Jinjin still misses him.
Once he kills the Grand Elder and Monk Lin Yuan, Jin Jin will belong to him alone!
… …
Shang Qinghan returned to his room with a happy smile, deliberately not letting his subordinates prepare food, and waited for the person arranged by Si Jin to deliver the meal.
There were several appetizing side dishes on the table, and the main course was a pot of bone broth.
The old woman who delivered the food said, "This was specially prepared for you by the cult leader. He said it's nutritious and that you should drink more of it."
"I know, Jin'er is so filial." Shang Qinghan dismissed those around him and began to eat happily.
I deliberately drank three or four bowls of bone broth, and I felt that this broth was different from other bone broths, and it was fresh, fragrant and delicious.
So after finishing my meal, I made a special trip to the kitchen to check out the ingredients for the soup.
As a result, they saw Shang Deyi's skull in the pot.
The skull bubbled and steamed in the boiling water, and a fragrant aroma gradually wafted out.
Shang Qinghan remembered that it was the skull he had found in the grass that morning.
So, did Ling Sijin leave behind that skeleton to cook for him?
Unable to withstand the shock, Shang Qinghan immediately lowered his head and vomited violently.
Then, he had a high fever for three consecutive days and could not eat or drink anything.
He didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Si Jin.
… …
Three days later, at night.
A junior disciple knelt outside the Sijin Gate and asked, "Master, there are fifty disciples who went with Shang Linyuan to collect the Blood Spirit Mushroom. They are all loyal disciples trained by the Grand Elder, and they are all ready to go."
"Um……"
"The design of the Blood Spirit Mushroom is ready. Would the Sect Leader like to take a look?"
"No...no need...um...I'll confirm with Shang Linyuan later."
"Does the leader have any other instructions?"
"That's all, step back... step back!"
"yes."
After the junior disciple left, Si Jincai glared angrily at Shang Linyuan, who was still clinging to him and refusing to let go.
"Don't you know there are people outside? You're being too ridiculous..."
"But Jinjin's voice was very steady, so he didn't notice anything unusual, did he?"
Shang Linyuan smiled and said coquettishly, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm just asking for a little treat. How can you be so stingy, Jinjin?"
Si Jin clutched Shang Linyuan's clothes with one hand, her hand trembling slightly.
After a long while, she finally collapsed weakly back into his arms, her eyes blurry with tears as she reminded him, "Back to bed...back to bed..."
