Chapter 246 No Way Out (6)
However, Ji Yushu had obviously discovered something new and interesting, and he kept asking Xie Jingxing, "How did she stab you? With a sword? Third brother, you didn't dodge, so she must have been very fast. And she escaped unscathed in the end. Oh my god, third brother, can't you beat her?"
Xie Jingxing finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Shut up!"
"She is so skilled and good-looking. I suddenly feel that Miss Shaoyao can't compare to her. Ah, Third Brother Xie, can you help me think of a way to please her? I think it's better to marry a girl like this as soon as possible." Ji Yushu continued to mutter.
"If you say one more word, you and Gao Yang will go back together." Xie Jingxing said expressionlessly.
Ji Yushu finally shut up in disappointment.
Gao Yang waved his folding fan, diverting the conversation and said, “But Shen Miao made such a big move, why do I feel that the matter of the Prince’s Mansion is not over yet.”
"It's not over yet." Ji Yushu said, "How can it not be over even though everyone is dead? But I do find it a bit strange. Why would Miss Shen let people spread such rumors for no reason? Isn't she afraid of implicating the entire Shen family? Others are rushing to distance themselves from the matter, so why is she still looking for trouble for herself?"
"Have you ever seen a fisherman stop fishing after catching a big fish?" Xie Jingxing glanced at him, his smile full of amusement: "It's all one thing after another. Her plan was never to end at the Prince's Mansion."
In the Caiyun Garden of the Shen Mansion on the other side, Shen Yuan dragged his somewhat heavy steps back into the house. When Ren Wanyun saw him, she rushed over and asked hopefully, "Yuan'er, what's wrong?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "It's a bit difficult."
"Yuan'er, you must save Qing'er." Ren Wanyun's tears immediately flowed down. She had been crying every day these days, and her eyes were swollen and scary. She didn't take care of herself at all, and there was a strange smell coming from her body. Chen Yuan moved away a little without saying a word, but was suddenly grabbed by Ren Wanyun's arm again. Ren Wanyun said, "She is your sister, you must save her! Qing'er is very pitiful, she is innocent, she must be very scared after being arrested, and we are not with her, only you, her brother, can save her!"
As she spoke, tears mixed with saliva sprayed onto Chen Yuan's body. Chen Yuan was already upset, and seeing Ren Wanyun acting like this only deepened his irritation. He said, "I understand." He turned around and went back to the house.
Ren Wanyun got anxious when she saw this. She grabbed Chen Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, why did you go back to the house? Shouldn't you go to the government office to make arrangements? Or at least ask the emperor for help? You are so smart and know a lot of people in the court. You will definitely be able to speak up for your sister. Do you need silver? Mother will go get it for you right away."
"Mother," Chen Yuan suppressed his irritation and said, "I can't help you with the government office right now, so please don't get involved."
"I'm meddling?" Ren Wanyun was stunned, then screamed loudly: "I'm saving your sister. There is no good person in this house! Your father is a heartless person. He only knows how to hang out with that vixen all day long, and he doesn't care about the life and death of us mother and daughter. Now you don't want to ignore your sister either? Are you going to learn from your father? I raised you with great difficulty, and this is how you repay me! Chen Yuan, your father is a heartless person, and you are a little heartless person!" Ren Wanyun's voice became louder and louder. Now she was a little crazy and could not stand the stimulation. She didn't know what touched Chen Yuan's words, and she started to make a fuss like a madman.
Not only did she scold him, but Ren Wanyun even pushed and shoved him. She cursed and swore, looking nothing like the dignified and wealthy lady she used to be. She looked like a madwoman from a humble family. Shen Yuan suddenly felt a little tired. Shen Miao's words echoed in his ears again.
He had a bright future, and returning to Beijing to take up his post was the beginning of his meteoric rise. He would choose a wise ruler to assist him, eventually becoming a renowned prime minister, trampling over everyone else, with everyone looking up to him. But now, what a mess! His mother had become a shrew, his father was timid and unworthy of any position, and even his younger sister, who once might have added icing on the cake for his career, was imprisoned. All of this had become a stumbling block for him.
Blood relatives are certainly important, but isn't his bright future just as important? He had secretly been Fu Xiuyi's man for many years, and his appointments outside were just a plan to return to the capital. Who knew that something like this would happen now? Shen Miao was right. Rumors were just rumors before and could not be taken seriously. But if they were spread too harshly and heard and taken to heart by the Tian family, no matter how much Fu Xiuyi valued him, he would be afraid to confront him.
Shen Miao laid out two paths before him: one was blood relatives, the other was a future. However, in a sense, he really had no other choice.
Chen Yuan looked at Ren Wanyun and said calmly: "Even if mother doesn't care about me, can she not care about my brother's life?"
