The coffin had barely been broken when she showed up at the door.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but sigh, "Even if you know that it was Third Sister who did this, so what?"
"Look at her attire today; she's clearly curried favor with someone powerful. You have no official position whatsoever; what can you do to her?"
"Hmph! Who knew she would be so heartless, daring to sever our father-daughter relationship!" Shen Cang said angrily. "But it doesn't matter, is she the only one with powerful backing?"
"you mean……"
"Mother, don't forget that Qiyin has the Qiying Pavilion and the Marquis of Wu'an backing her up. What is there to be afraid of?"
After all, judging from Shen Ruyin's appearance today, she must hate Shen Qiyin to the core.
Even if it's just to protect herself, she wouldn't stand by and watch the Shen family suffer.
Shen Cang was unaware that this was something he was about to do.
Shen Qiyin couldn't wait for Shen Ruyin to take action against the Shen family, since nothing was more interesting than watching people you despise kill each other.
If I had to pinpoint one instance, it would probably be when I teased Xiao Yan until he blushed, leaving him stiff and at a loss for what to do.
"Yinyin?" Xiao Yan gently squeezed her fingertips. "What are you thinking about?"
"...Nothing, I was just thinking about what you said earlier." She hid her mischievous thoughts and said seriously, "So, you set up a scheme to lure Shen Ruyin here?"
"Um."
"So, you arranged for Manager Zhao to join as well?"
"yes."
After saying that, he looked at her somewhat cautiously: "Will you blame me for taking matters into my own hands?"
Shen Qiyin shook her head: "How could I be so ungrateful?"
There's something I think you might want to know.
"What?"
"Guo An and Guo Xiuran are also at the Qin residence."
Shen Qiyin was completely taken aback: "They're here too?! But how did Guo An and Qin Li get together?"
"It is said that many years ago, Guo An unintentionally helped Qin Li once."
"No wonder..."
She knew it; how could Qin Li suddenly become so kind for no reason?
It seems that the Guo family grandfather and grandson planned to use Qin Li's influence to take revenge on the Shen family, and Qin Li, by using Shen Ruyin as a pretext, could openly provoke a conflict.
"It's so convenient that all our enemies have gathered together."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly: "Qin Li also offended the in-laws?"
"Um……"
It's his own fault for not keeping his word!
In fact, Shen Qiyin was quite clear-headed about what was originally a transaction. She accepted the punishment according to the Qin family's rules, and afterwards Qin Li helped her rescue Shen Cang, which was very fair.
She wouldn't seek revenge on him just because he had tormented her into becoming a cripple in her past life, because everything was of her own free will.
The problem is, she endured those punishments, but Qin Li went back on his word.
Just as she had initially told Madam Shen, Qin Li, a eunuch, no matter how much the Imperial Noble Consort valued him, could not possibly extend his reach to Qiying Pavilion.
Therefore, he never intended to keep his promise from the beginning.
They just wanted to see her desperate and hopeless, to make fun of her.
Xiao Yan watched as Shen Qiyin's gaze gradually turned cold and icy. Although he didn't know what she was thinking about, it must have been some unpleasant memories, so he grabbed her hand.
"Marriage".
The warm touch from her palm snapped Shen Qiyin back to her senses.
Meeting Xiao Yan's worried gaze, she parted her lips slightly and murmured, "I..."
She had only uttered one word when her lips were suddenly pressed against Xiao Yan's slender fingers.
He leaned closer to her, his voice deep and seductive as he said, "Yinyin, if you haven't decided whether or not to tell me, just make up a lie."
"Lying?!" Shen Qiyin was extremely surprised.
"Um."
She was stunned.
She had thought he would say, "You don't have to answer, but never lie to me," but how could he be teaching her to lie?
"Can you accept me lying to you?"
"able."
"Why?!"
"Because Yinyin is willing to lie to me, it means you are willing to put effort into me. I like that Yinyin cares about me."
"..."Is that so?
This is her first time talking about love, she really doesn't know anything about it. Is his approach correct? Or is he just taking advantage of her lack of experience and trying to fool her?
Then again, Xiao Yan shouldn't have much experience in this area either, so how come...
His words made her feel sweet inside.
"Oh, right, keep these safe." Xiao Yan said, patting the wooden brocade box he had brought with him.
"What is it?" she wanted to ask then.
As she spoke, she opened the box, revealing a flower, a key, and a stack of papers inside.
Xiao Yan explained, "There is a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing. That is my private residence, and the house deed and land deed are here."
"Most of the rest are land deeds."
"Here are a few silver notes. Take these flowers and buy whatever you like."
"And this key is the key to the underground storeroom of the manor. All my belongings except these deeds are in there."
“The guards there are all my trusted men. They all know you and can be ordered around at your disposal.”
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he saw Shen Qiyin staring blankly at him without any reaction.
He gave all of these to her...
How does this sound like making arrangements for one's death?
Could he be planning a coup?!
"Yinyin?" What's wrong?
Was I too hasty, causing her to misunderstand that I was pressuring her to get married?
