Chapter 52: Murder and Destruction (1)

Jiang Hanfeng's words were meant to embarrass him, and Shen Yingxue had no way of answering.

He chuckled: "Am I such a bad guy?"

Jiang Hanfeng didn't say anything.

Because they really are similar.

From the moment he stepped into Zanhua Lane, he knew that this was a very dangerous place and that the owner of the flower shop was someone who was not easy to deal with.

The smell of rouge mixed with blood in Zanhua Lane makes it even more terrifying.

It was quiet here. Apart from the people coming and going inside Zanhua Lane, no one dared to walk here. Zanhua Lane seemed to be shrouded by a barrier, separating it from the world and forming a separate territory.

There are also anecdotes about prostitutes in its legends, and the feminine colors of makeup also intensify the femininity of this place. The feeling that Zanhua Lane gives people is the same as that expressed by the "cat" beside the flower owner.

The cat is feminine and vicious. He kills without blinking an eye and uses poison without mercy. He is an obedient cat in front of the flower owner, but when he leaves the flower owner's sight, he becomes a ferocious beast, like a venomous snake and a jackal.

Such a person is certainly frightening, but not enough to be a serious threat. His master is the most terrifying.

Huazhu himself was unaware of his own terribleness. He was still gentle and polite, and asked in confusion: "Why do you think so? Is there something I did wrong?"

Jiang Hanfeng thought to himself that the Flower Master was indeed very good at pretending. His every move was very graceful, and he even found sufficiently just reasons for everything he did.

That's why Jiang Hanfeng found it even more terrifying.

The Demon Cult that Shen Yingxue used to lead, never put on a hypocritical disguise when doing bad things, the members of the Demon Cult were extremely casual, killing was killing, robbing was robbing, they would stab someone they disliked, and marry someone they liked, although they had a bad reputation, they were well-dressed and enjoyed themselves in the martial arts world.

Zanhua Lane is also doing the evil things, just with an extra layer of disguise, and has not pushed itself to the opposite side of righteousness.

There are many hypocrites in the righteous world. They all seek profits for themselves in secret, but dare not express it openly. They are even afraid of being discovered, so they dare not make any big moves.

Everything that Huazhu does is a big move.

He is very confident, backed by his absolute strength. He is more experienced and worldly-wise than Shen Yingxue.

"Why don't you say anything?" The flower owner frowned, and the birthmark on his face moved slightly, like red peony petals fluttering in the breeze. "Just say whatever you think. I still have this kind of broad mind."

Jiang Hanfeng believed this deeply. He had disobeyed the flower owner twice without knowing the truth, but the flower owner never pursued the matter. She even wrote a letter to say goodbye when she went out, fearing that he would worry.

"In the eyes of the world, you are indeed not a good person."

After Jiang Hanfeng finished speaking, he saw the shock in Hua Zhu's eyes.

So he wasn't just pretending? He actually thought he was a good person?

The flower owner asked: "What evil things have I done?"

"Although it is not a crime against humanity, it involves hundreds of lives. You are so decisive in killing people while talking and laughing, which is bound to cause fear. As for me, I only saw that you were very attentive to the affairs of Zanhua Lane, but I have never seen that you trusted and were close to Shen Yingxue."

Shen Yingxue was ashamed. He didn't care about the affairs of Zanhua Lane at all. He relied on Xun Yanlanjin to handle it. He was just a mascot, responsible for maintaining the relationship between Zanhua Lane and Zhongxin Palace, and occasionally acting as bait to deal with enemies.

Jiang Hanfeng saw him in a completely different light: "I only saw that you value power, like to play around with people, and never think about others. If one day, you can use Shen Yingxue to exchange for more benefits, you will definitely abandon him without hesitation."

Shen Yingxue reflected on herself and realized that she had never thought about others.

It's already difficult for him to lead the Mosaic system, so we can't ask too much of him. He really can't control other people.

"But I also feel that you are not a heartless person. You don't care about Yingxue at all. On the contrary, you care about him very much. You must have a reason for being distant from him." Jiang Hanfeng said, "It's just that it doesn't mean everything. If one day, you give up Yingxue's life because of this difficulty, even if there is a reason, I can't accept it. My original intention is not to embarrass you or make you angry. I really want to know what position Yingxue holds in your heart and why you treat him like this?"

Shen Yingxue finally understood what he was struggling with. No wonder Jiang Hanfeng had so many ideas in his mind.

It seemed that he really cared about me, wanted to protect me, and regarded me as his responsibility. He always prepared for the worst, fearing that I would be wronged.

But Shen Yingxue really couldn't answer this question!

Jiang Hanfeng pressed, "Is this a difficult question to answer? Or do you not trust me?"

Shen Yingxue sighed softly, "You don't trust me."

Jiang Hanfeng said: "Not bad."

Shen Yingxue said: "I can only tell you that I would never deliberately push Shen Yingxue into danger. Everything he did was what he wanted to do. If you still don't believe me after saying this, then I can't help it. If you are willing to believe me, don't think about it anymore. When the time comes, you will naturally know the reason."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"When Shen Yingxue is completely safe."

Jiang Hanfeng felt as if he understood something. After thinking carefully, he felt that Hua Zhu's words were full of profound meaning. He only understood the literal meaning and did not pay attention to the deeper meaning.

Shen Yingxue learned from Jiang Hanfeng what other people thought of Hua Zhu, and also knew that Jiang Hanfeng did not have any strange ideas, so he focused his attention on Zhu Chengyu.

He said to Jiang Hanfeng, "Take good care of Zhu Chengyu. Don't let him think about random things. Give him more homework. I think he just has too much free time."

Jiang Hanfeng: “Yes.”

Shen Yingxue waved her hands, "You can go down."

Shen Yingxue ignored the chaotic scene caused by the disappearance of the Gao family's secret book. He was eager to reduce the presence of Zanhua Lane to a minimum so as to get rid of suspicion and avoid the fight there.

Shen Yingxue sent people to investigate Fu Sheng's past, preparing to implement a murderous plan, and to investigate several other enemies at the same time. After dealing with Fu Sheng, she would seek revenge on them.

During this period, he changed his disguise and became himself, and spent some time with Jiang Hanfeng day and night.

As expected, Jiang Hanfeng assigned a lot of homework to Zhu Chengyu. A Wu helped Zhu Chengyu do his homework every day, and he even saved time for class.

Jiang Hanfeng seemed to have turned on some switch. After stopping teaching Zhu Chengyu, he came over to teach Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue was worried about not being able to read, so she studied hard with him for a while. However, the Mosaic System gave her too much. Even if she remembered it in her head, she couldn't see what it was with her eyes.

Jiang Hanfeng pointed at the paper and asked him, "What does this word read?"

Shen Yingxue smoothed the paper with her hand and read it again. No matter how she looked at it, it was a small purple flower, the same as the wild flowers outside Zanhua Lane.

Shen Yingxue said: "Huahua."

"Naughty." Jiang Hanfeng was helpless. He wanted Shen Yingxue to return to normal and become his opponent again, so he taught her many acupoints. Now he doesn't force her so much, but Shen Yingxue is still not as good as an ordinary person.

Why was fate so cruel to him?

Hua Zhu knew this, so he never mentioned it. Is he going to teach Shen Yingxue the same way he taught Zhu Chengyu?

He picked up the paper and tore it in half, and the mosaic on it also broke in two.

Lan Jin came over and said, "Prince Zhongxin is here."

Shen Yingxue didn't say anything, but Lan Jin knew that he already had an idea in his mind. He went out and invited Prince Zhongxin in.

The prince with a slightly feminine appearance frowned after seeing Jiang Hanfeng in the house. He had been in a high position for many years, which made him feel oppressed.

He looked at Shen Yingxue who was tearing the paper, then looked at Jiang Hanfeng, and said unhappily: "You're just going to accompany him like this?"

Jiang Hanfeng knew that King Zhongxin was Shen Yingxue's biological father, so he didn't dare to be rude to him. He stood up and saluted, explaining, "I wanted to teach Yingxue to read and write, but he didn't seem to be interested in these wells."

King Zhongxin also knew that this was a euphemism.

He thought that after Shen Yingxue's revenge, she would get over her worries, but now it seems that her condition has worsened.

Could it be that the knot in his heart was not about Fu Sheng, but the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood that day, so he would escape like this after his hands were stained with blood again?

No, that shouldn't be the case.

Zhu Qingyi didn't believe that Shen Yingxue was afraid of blood and death.

Something else must have been responsible for his condition getting worse.

His eyes fell on Jiang Hanfeng, and he looked at him unkindly, "Who allowed you to be alone with Xue'er?"

Jiang Hanfeng felt the pressure from his father-in-law.

When he treated Hua Zhu as his father-in-law, he had experienced many such situations and was not afraid of the obstruction from his father-in-law. However, he was Shen Yingxue's biological father after all, and for the sake of the future, he must not offend him.

Jiang Hanfeng pretended to be humble: "I came here to accompany Yingxue, and the flower owner allowed it."

"Who the hell is he!" Zhu Qingyi was very angry.

He had known that the Flower Master would not adopt Shen Yingxue for no reason, and would not care about him as much as his biological father. Jiang Hanfeng liked Shen Yingxue, and the Flower Master was happy to see it happen. After all, he was not his son, so it didn't matter. But Zhu Qingyi couldn't accept that his son was deceived and seduced by a man when he was unconscious.

Even if Jiang Hanfeng does the following, it won’t work!

Shen Yingxue must be unwilling, otherwise why would his condition worsen?

Shen Yingxue, who was insulted in front of her, raised her head, holding the torn rice paper in her hands: "Don't say that about the flower master."

The identity of "the leader of the Demon Cult" has little to do with Shen Yingxue. Hua Zhu is the character he was involved in from beginning to end, from creating the character to establishing himself in the martial arts world. He personally participated in and created the character.

Even though his true personality is not quite consistent with that of the Flower Lord, the Flower Lord is still him, and he has a very high degree of recognition for the Flower Lord.

To scold Hua Zhu in front of him would be to scold himself, even if the person is his biological father.

When Zhu Qingyi heard Shen Yingxue say this, he looked at him angrily and asked, "What kind of magic potion did the Flower Master feed you to make you protect him like this?"

Hua Zhu was just using Shen Yingxue and didn't care about him at all. But Shen Yingxue was so innocent and deceitful that she even spoke for Hua Zhu. On the other hand, Zhu Qingyi, the father, didn't get such treatment.

Didn't Hua Zhu know Shen Yingxue a few months earlier? Why is there such a big difference?

Shen Yingxue crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and his hands were also stained with the purple petal juice. He wanted to put it in to smell it, but was caught by Jiang Hanfeng. He got a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped each of his fingers carefully, but there was still a faint purple flower juice on them.

Shen Yingxue did not argue with King Zhongxin, but just watched Jiang Hanfeng's actions without saying a word.

Prince Zhongxin breathed a sigh of relief. He came here to see Shen Yingxue and deepen the relationship between father and son, not to quarrel with him.

"Get out." He said to Jiang Hanfeng with a serious look.

Jiang Hanfeng stood up and reminded King Zhongxin: "Please keep an eye on him and don't let him eat ink."

"I am Xue'er's father, so I know what to do. You don't need to say anything. Get out!"

Jiang Hanfeng felt uneasy when he left and looked back again.

King Zhongxin seemed to care about his son Shen Yingxue. But Jiang Hanfeng had seen true care before. If he was Shen Yingxue's biological father, he shouldn't let a mentally ill, child-like person kill people.

This level of concern is too superficial, not even as profound as the flower owner.

It seems that King Zhongxin and Lord Hua have not reached a complete agreement. At least when it comes to the issue of taking care of Shen Yingxue, the two have many conflicts.

"Xue'er." Zhu Qingyi said, and found that Shen Yingxue had no reaction to this name, "Yingxue."

Shen Yingxue took a breath and her cheeks puffed up a little.

"Are you angry?" Zhu Qingyi had never been around children before, but the father-son instinct was still there. Seeing Shen Yingxue's temper, he seemed to have learned it by heart, lowered his posture, and said softly: "Daddy didn't mean it. Daddy is just worried that you've been deceived."

Shen Yingxue knew very well in his heart that both Hua Zhu and Jiang Hanfeng treated him sincerely, but Zhu Qingyi herself was still a question.

Zhu Qingyi slowly reached out and stroked Shen Yingxue's back. "Most men in this world like the new and hate the old. One heart can be divided into several parts. I am only glad that you are a man and can realize your ambitions without being trapped in a deep mansion. Who would have thought that, under a series of twists and turns, it would become like this."

This was interesting. Shen Yingxue turned to look at him and saw the beauty on the light yellow paper.

Could it be that his father is a playboy who knows how to be gentle with women and truly cares about women?

If he really ascends the throne, will he launch an equal rights movement?

Shen Yingxue imagined the scene. It might be good in a few hundred years, but at the moment, it would definitely be a mess. What's more difficult is that the voices in the court are all men, and they are not willing to share power with women.

For example, the imperial examination is already very difficult. If women could also take it, and if there were a few female top scorers, men’s self-esteem would really be trampled on and crushed.

Zhu Qingyi said: "I have fallen into this situation, with no way out, and I don't want you to be the same as me. Besides, you are already sick, and you have been deceived by others. If Jiang Hanfeng meets a girl who shares his feelings in the future, what will you do?

"I know you don't understand, and I don't expect you to understand. I just want you to know that I am really thinking about you. Not everyone who treats you well is sincere. Shen Huai in the past and Hua Zhu today, they treat you well for a purpose."

Shen Yingxue said: "Have you also been cheated by a man?"

Zhu Qingyi didn't expect that she didn't pay attention to anything else, but understood this sentence. She was silent for a long time before she said, "Yes."

Shen Yingxue was shocked that his father was actually gay!

But when you think about it, men of this era really have no sense of chastity and often do such nonsense. As long as they can get married and have children in the end, there is no problem.

Despite this, Shen Yingxue still had an indescribable strange feeling, and even felt a little disgusted.

Shen Yingxue couldn't see what King Zhongxin looked like. He only knew that the picture of the beauty was very beautiful. King Zhongxin, who had a beautiful face, should have a similar temperament. When he was gay, he should have been the one being bullied, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words.

Tsk tsk.

"What's that expression on your face?" King Zhongxin said, "I am helpless... If not... Never mind, it's useless to say anything now. I'll explain it to you when you get better. You must never contact Jiang Hanfeng again. I'll tell the Flower Master to keep an eye on Jiang Hanfeng and not let him come to you again."

"But it's boring to be alone." Shen Yingxue said.

Prince Zhongxin's tone softened. "When Master Hua agrees, I will take you back to the palace. Before that, I will come to visit you often, and Zhu Rang and Zhu Ling will come to accompany you."

Shen Yingxue agreed and was coaxed by King Zhongxin to wash her hands. After cleaning the purple juice, Shen Yingxue realized that it was ink.

King Zhongxin also paid attention to Shen Yingxue's knowledge. After knowing that he was illiterate, he was shocked, helpless, heartbroken and regretful. However, Shen Yingxue's madness was inextricably linked to him. Even if King Zhongxin wanted to avenge him, it was difficult to find a suitable target.

"Don't worry, Daddy will never let go of anyone who hurts you." King Zhongxin said, "That includes Zhu Rangyu and me."

Fu Sheng was born in an ordinary small village. He has an older brother and two older sisters.

His elder brother was ten years older than him and married early. His two elder sisters married in the next village. Their husbands were also honest people. Half a year later, his elder sister became pregnant, and Fu Sheng was about to have a little nephew.

Although Fu Sheng's family was not rich, he had a happy childhood.

When Fu Sheng was five years old, a disaster struck quietly.

The elder sister took her needlework to the town to sell, and was spotted by a playboy in the town, who took her home. The sister-in-law who was traveling with her hurried back and told her brother-in-law. The group of people failed to get the person back, so they had to report to the police.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate did not dare to provoke the powerful young man, so he appeased them with a few words. The young man then sent someone to give him ten taels of silver, as if he had bought the person.

The elder sister could not resist, and could not bear the humiliation. She was so ashamed that she hit a pillar and died. The young man thought it was bad luck, and the other side was still asking for her, so he handed over her body.

My brother-in-law cried for a long time, rushed forward to grab the servant's sword, and swung it with all his strength. The young man was bleeding from his left shoulder to his abdomen. Fortunately, the sword was not sharp and did not cut the man in half.

The young man was taken back for treatment and saved his life. Then his family went crazy for revenge, and found a random excuse to arrest Fu Sheng's family and put the young Fu Sheng in jail.

In prison, they had little food and clothing. It was a severe winter, and parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were afraid that their children would die young, so they gave all the food and clothes to Fu Sheng, the youngest. Unexpectedly, they were detained here for two months without anyone paying attention to them. Fu Sheng watched his family members die one by one, and his heart was filled with hatred.

The jailer covered the body with a blanket and threw it away somewhere. Fu Sheng's cell was filled with people one after another, and the last person to come in was a quirky gangster.

Seeing that Fu Sheng was young but resentful of the world, stubborn, and cruel, he decided to teach him martial arts and take him to escape from the county jail when the opportunity arose.

Fu Sheng had lost his parents and brothers, and his eldest sister's family was also dead. He didn't want to implicate his second sister, so he followed that gangster out to hang out, learned how to disguise himself, and gradually became a smooth-talking person.

He had gorgeous clothes, and looked like a rich young man, elegant and graceful, with a strong sense of justice and a heroic spirit, and was praised by others.

Later, Fu Sheng went to the Jueyue Tower, starting as a small leader at the bottom and slowly climbing up. When he had some power and made friends with the government, he went back and killed the whole family of the young master. At this time, the government still pretended to be deaf and dumb and did nothing, only claiming that they had died suddenly of an epidemic.

Fu Sheng found those people from the county government and killed them one by one, using them to bury the hatred in his heart.

After killing the last person, he was no longer troubled by what happened in the past. From then on, he had no weaknesses and became a truly cold-blooded person.

He rose through the ranks in the Jueyue Building and became the building owner with his extraordinary mental and physical skills. He became famous in the world and was praised and respected by everyone.

This was the information Lan Jin found three months later.

After Shen Yingxue finished listening to him, she said with some emotion: "Even if Fu Sheng is guilty, if we investigate to the end, the reason why it is like this is because of this world."

When a citizen sues an official, regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he will first be beaten with a stick.

This class cannot be seen or touched, yet it exists everywhere.

Lan Jin asked, "How does the master decide to deal with him?"

Shen Yingxue certainly would not be soft-hearted towards Fu Sheng. He was no longer the poor child he had been. He had mastered the rules of the world and was getting along well with others. As a victim, Shen Yingxue did not want to forgive him.

"Is his second sister and her family still there?" Shen Yingxue asked.

Lan Jin had been prepared, "Fu Sheng has never recognized the second sister in these years, but he pretended to be a passerby, went to the second sister's house to ask for water, and gave the second sister a few hundred taels of silver.

"The family my second sister married into was named Zhang, and they had a few acres of land. Her husband was a hardworking man, and her parents-in-law died early, so there was no need for support. Unfortunately, she was unlucky, and Zhang's son had a stroke a few years later, leaving my second sister alone to run the household, farm the fields, raise the children, and take care of her husband who was unable to get up. That's why Fu Sheng sent money to them."

Shen Yingxue nodded: "Where is that Second Sister Zhang?"

Lan Jin said, "It's in Yuzhen, Jiangnan, a place called Wancai Village. It's not far from Huaicheng, so it won't be difficult to take over the well."

"Take good care of her, explain everything to her, and don't scare her."

Lan Jin was very puzzled. He thought Shen Yingxue would use his sister to threaten Fu Sheng in front of him. But if she did that, the more panicked his second sister was, the better. Why should he treat her well?

Shen Yingxue said: "Of course I don't want to kill her. Bring her here first. I want to see her in person."

After receiving the order, Lan Jin immediately sent someone to find Zhang Erjie.

Zhang Erjie was very busy. Even with the money Fu Sheng gave her, she didn't dare spend it carelessly. She just bought some good medicine for her husband. He was able to move around on his own, but he still couldn't go out to work.

Zhang Erjie was reluctant to leave home at first, but when she heard that this matter was related to her brother, she began to doubt it, arranged her family affairs, and followed them to Huaicheng.

When she got off the carriage, she felt the ground beneath her feet was softer than the rest of the street, as if it had just been turned over and not yet firmly stepped on.

Even if an ordinary dirt road is washed by rain, the inside is still very hard and can even be worn to a shine.

The road here was not only soft, but also fragrant. She couldn't tell what the smell was, a bit like the sweet-scented osmanthus hair oil used by maids in wealthy families, but if she smelled it carefully, it seemed different.

"Where is this place?" Zhang Erjie was a little scared.

Could it be some brothel? But she was no longer young, had been working hard for years, had been exposed to the sun and the wind, and her skin was dark, making her look older than her peers. It was not worth being abducted here.

The person who received him was very respectful: "Fu Sheng is right here, but before you go see him, my master wants to see you. Sister-in-law, please come this way."

Zhang Erjie followed in tremblingly.

It was already deep winter. There was no snow in Huaicheng, but it was raining continuously. A thin layer of ice had formed on the trees, and the yard was also very cold and desolate.

But as soon as she entered the house, Zhang Erjie felt the warmth blowing on her face. She couldn't help shivering, and even the trembling all over her body was not that severe.

There was some kind of incense burning in the room, a charcoal brazier in the corner, and a thin young man in a black robe sitting by the window. He was looking down at a black object, stroking it gently with his slender, pale fingers.

The young man had a silver animal-skin blanket covering his legs and body. He was very white, whiter than anyone Zhang Erjie had ever seen, but there was a huge red spot on his face, making him look like a demon in winter. He was extremely handsome, yet also terrifying.

"Master." Lan Jin brought over some hot tea, placed a cup in front of Shen Yingxue, and another cup on the ground, "She's here."

Shen Yingxue came back to her senses, put down the game console, looked at the blurred woman, and smiled at her: "Don't be so polite, please take a seat."

Zhang Erjie slowly walked over and sat down.

"My subordinates should have explained the reason why I came to you. Fu Sheng is indeed here and he is not lying to you." Shen Yingxue said, "You have not seen him for many years, so it is reasonable for you to want to see him. But I have to talk to you first before I can decide whether to let you see him."

"What happened to Sheng'er?" Zhang Erjie had never seen such a scene before. Even when she went to visit someone, she was always received by a woman. She had never been with a man other than her husband, let alone a man with such a weird face.

The furnishings here are elegant, and the fact that the room is so warm in winter makes Zhang Erjie know that this is definitely not an ordinary home, and the person in front of her is definitely not an ordinary person.

How could Fu Sheng have anything to do with such a person?

Zhang Erjie's heart began to pound when she thought of the misfortunes that had happened to her mother's family and her sister.

Shen Yingxue said, "You don't know yet, do you? He is now the owner of the Jueyue Building. Three years ago, he led the righteous to besiege the Demon Sect and killed more than a thousand people in the Demon Sect. He also broke the dantian of the Demon Sect leader and crushed his wrist bones, forcing him to be like a homeless dog, mad and confused..."

Lan Jin: "Master."

Zhang Erjie: "How dare he..."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and Zhang Erjie shut her mouth awkwardly.

Shen Yingxue stopped talking about her own affairs and smiled. "Coincidentally, the leader of the demon sect is my adopted son. If Fu Sheng fell into my hands, I should have killed him with a sword."

Zhang Erjie gasped.

"But I thought it would be too easy to just let him die. The harm he did to Yingxue has made her suffer for the rest of her life. I must find a way to make him suffer. So I looked up his past, but I didn't expect to find so many old stories."

Second Sister Zhang’s face turned pale.

"I know Fu Sheng is not a bad person by nature, but he has been through so many things that he has become like this."

Zhang Erjie shed tears: "You are right. Although my family is poor, my parents and brothers are all very upright people. We are kind-hearted and have never done anything bad. Although my family is poor, we sent Sheng'er to a private school. Sheng'er understands a lot of principles at a young age and is very kind. Once, my eldest brother went into the mountains and caught a female deer. Sheng'er said that the deer was pregnant, so he let it go. How could he kill someone?"

When Shen Yingxue saw her reaction, she knew that it would be easy.

He sighed, "Yes, how could Fu Sheng kill someone? I can't believe that he has changed so much. I felt sympathy for him when I knew what he had gone through, and now I can't do anything to him. But he has done so many evil things that I dare not let him go. If my sister-in-law can persuade him to give up evil and do good, that would be great."

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Erjie knelt down and kowtowed, "If he is really Sheng'er, he will definitely listen to my advice."

Shen Yingxue said to Lan Jin, "Prepare the sedan chair. I will go with her."

Lan Jin asked someone to carry a sedan chair, carried Shen Yingxue into the sedan chair, and brought a sleeve warmer to warm his hands.

Zhang Erjie was not treated to a sedan chair, and Lan Jin explained to her: "My master is disabled, so this is the only way. Fu Sheng is imprisoned not far from here, and it is not my intention to neglect the guests."

Zhang Erjie nodded repeatedly.

Fu Sheng's abdominal injury has healed, but no one has treated his broken wrist bone, so he is afraid that his right hand will be completely disabled.

When Shen Yingxue attacked, she aimed at the dantian area three inches below the navel. At this time, Fu Sheng had lost all his martial arts skills, the ropes that bound him were untied, and he could move freely in the room.

He hadn't seen Shen Yingxue for a long time, and when he heard her voice he guessed that his death was approaching.

Fu Shengjing was not afraid, and even dared to say something to provoke Shen Yingxue even more. He knew too well what the arrogant man was afraid of, and he could hit his sore spot with one stroke.

But he didn't expect that after the lock on the door was removed and he opened it, the person he saw was not Shen Yingxue, but the person he couldn't let go of but dared not to recognize.

Zhang Erjie was also stunned. She remembered Fu Sheng's face, but she never imagined that this person was her own brother.

Shen Yingxue and Lan Jin lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and hung it on the hook beside it. Shen Yingxue sat inside, sitting around the charcoal basin and holding a hand stove, watching the family ethics drama.

The reason why Fu Sheng has never recognized Zhang Erjie is actually very simple.

He knew that he had changed beyond all recognition and had failed to meet the expectations of his family.

Even his deceased relatives probably didn't want to see him become like this. Revenge was fine, but later Fu Sheng simply threw away his bottom line and did whatever he wanted for power and status.

Shen Yingxue also told Zhang Erjie some of the bad things he had done, and Zhang Erjie was bound to question him.

"You killed more than a thousand people and drove them crazy? How could I not know that you were so capable!" Zhang Erjie cried and hammered him, "Have you forgotten how your elder sister and parents died? They are unreasonable people, and now you are bullying the weak. What's the difference between you and them! You little bastard, we were born by our parents, how could you be so cruel!"

Fu Sheng did not hide, but knelt down silently, willing to be beaten by his sister.

Zhang Erjie beat and scolded him, but she got tired after a while. She remembered the important matter, "Fortunately, this young master has a kind heart and doesn't intend to kill you. Otherwise, what you did would not be redeemed even by ten lives. You will go to hell and be fried in oil in the future! Come on, kowtow to the young master and make amends!"

Fu Sheng looked outside. The curtain on the sedan was only half lifted, so he could only vaguely see the outline of the person inside and a little red on his face.

No matter what, Fu Sheng couldn't bow his head to confess his guilt to Shen Yingxue, but Hua Zhu was different.

Fu Sheng truly admired Hua Zhu. Hua Zhu was old and a senior in the martial arts world, so even if he kowtowed to him, it wouldn't be that embarrassing. Others who wanted to kowtow to him didn't have the chance.

Fu Sheng fell to the ground and kowtowed three times to Shen Yingxue.

Zhang Erjie also knelt down and said to Shen Yingxue, "He really knows his mistake. Sir, please forgive him this time and let him do more good deeds for the rest of his life. This will be a great blessing for him, and he can be reborn after his death."

Fu Sheng could bear the injustice himself, but he couldn't bear to see his sister humble herself for him, so he quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Second sister, this is my fault alone, you get up."

"An elder sister is like a mother. Now that both your mother and elder sister are gone, I am your mother and should take care of you. How can I have nothing to do with you if you do something wrong? If you go to hell in the future, I will go with you. God sees everything you do. Who can escape?"

Fu Sheng doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but when he sees his second sister, he thinks of his childhood experiences, and he feels panic and fear.

He didn't know where the fear came from, nor did he see retribution or justice in what he had experienced, but he was really afraid that the bad things he had done would implicate his sister's family.

Fu Sheng remained silent.

After a while, the man in the sedan chair said, "Get up."

Fu Sheng helped Zhang Erjie stand up.

The flower owner sighed softly, waved to the cat standing beside him, lowered the car curtain, turned the car around, and slowly left.

Fu Sheng helped Zhang Erjie sit on the bed, "Second sister, why are you here?"

"It was the young master who sent someone to pick me up, saying that you were here." Zhang Erjie started crying again, "You are still alive, why didn't you come to see me? When I didn't find your body, do you know how worried I was?"

"I was wrong."

Zhang Erjie sneered. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, she still knew Fu Sheng's character. "If you knew you were wrong, you would never be like this now. I don't think you will turn back until you die."

Shen Yingxue returned to her warm room and lay on the couch to warm herself by the fire.

He is weak and very afraid of cold. His hands and feet are cold even before winter. Now he tries not to go out unless necessary and would rather not even leave the house under the covers.

Lan Jin changed the medicine for him several times but to no avail. She could only get a few more pots of charcoal to keep the room warm.

The little turtle was also brought in, but it was very quiet and Shen Yingxue could never remember it, so it became a decoration in the room.

Shen Yingxue placed the sleeve warmer on her legs, holding the hot teacup in both hands, "How about pretending to be a ghost and telling Fu Sheng about it in his dreams?"

Fu Sheng didn't take the criticism from outsiders to heart. If he wanted to feel guilty, he had to do it to the people he cared about the most.

Lan Jin's mouth twitched: "Master, if you want to torture Fu Sheng, you can whip him with a reed stick or strip him naked and throw him in the snow. Why bother?"

Shen Yingxue was silent.

He is also reflecting on this.

The damage he inflicted on Fu Guang's body was enough, but the hatred in his heart had not yet been fully vented. Shen Yingxue knew that the lives of so many people in Shattered Shadow Mountain could not be brought back, and the original owner could not come back either.

Then why did he go to so much trouble and raise Fu Sheng for three months in vain?

Shen Yingxue thought for a while and came up with the answer.

He wanted to drive Fu Sheng crazy.

If Fu Sheng's sister had taken action more than ten years ago, when he had not encountered such a thing, she might have driven him crazy. But now Fu Sheng is almost crazy, and this is all that can be done if he is forced.

Shen Yingxue could only do the opposite and try to help him find his conscience and let him torture himself.

I just don't know if his conscience can ever return.

"Oh, what a hassle." Shen Yingxue sighed and lay down. "Arrange a place for Zhang Erjie to live so that she can live closer to Fu Sheng."

"yes."

At this time, Xun Yan came in from outside and said to Shen Yingxue, "Jiang Hanfeng has been looking for you everywhere, but has not been able to find you. He is heading this way."

Shen Yingxue thought about it and said, "Send him away. If he is bored, let him go find Fu Sheng."

She had to look for him every day, and he had just put on a disguise. In winter, those disguises were cold, and Shen Yingxue was too lazy to move, so she didn't want to wash her face and remove her makeup all the time.

Moreover, Prince Zhongxin had said before that he did not want Jiang Hanfeng and Shen
