"Who are you calling stupid?!"
"You can't even tell who I'm cursing at. Why don't you try moving that ball on your neck? It's called the brain, and it works."
"you!"
"If it weren't for the old lady's sake, do you think I would bother with you?" Shen Qiyin sneered. "Did you think I said all that just now to expose her?"
She flicked her sleeve, withdrawing the hand that had been pointing at Shen Nianyin, and said, word by word, "I'm telling you, you idiot!"
"you……"
"Don't you think about it? If she really had no choice but to fake a miscarriage to quell the storm, then why did she insist that someone wanted to harm her and her child when you rescued her? Where did she get a child?"
Wei Xuan finally fell completely silent.
This scene astonished Madam Wei and the others.
Shen Qiyin was the second person who could verbally abuse Wei Xuan to the point of silence.
Marquis Wu'an was one.
Old Madam Wei looked her over with approval, but when her gaze shifted and landed on Shen Nianyin, all that remained was a chilling aura.
She was a woman too, and had lived through that age, so she knew how difficult things were for her. Therefore, she usually used some tricks to win over Wei Xuan's heart. As long as it didn't threaten Ruan Xinghu's position as the main wife, she would turn a blind eye and let things slide.
But this time, she made a huge fuss.
"Although the Marquis's mansion is large, it is not a place for just anyone."
"Madam..." Shen Nianyin understood her unspoken meaning and was so frightened that she knelt down with a "thump".
"Are you kneeling before me to say goodbye, or to beg me not to kick you out?"
"I……"
Chen Nianyin hesitated for a moment, unable to answer.
If she was begging the old lady for mercy to take her in, then why did she just ask Wei Xuan to divorce her? Wasn't that contradicting herself?
But what if we say "farewell" and the old lady takes the opportunity to do so?
With a thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, and only a fleeting expression on her face, Shen Nianyin looked at Wei Xuan with teary eyes, as if it were the last time she would see him in this life. Then she kowtowed to the old lady and said firmly, "Nianyin bids farewell to the old lady."
She's gambling!
He was betting that Wei Xuan valued loyalty and righteousness and wouldn't abandon him, who had saved his life.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that she was leaving, Wei Xuan immediately pleaded for her: "...Grandmother, please spare her this time for my sake."
Old Madam Wei looked at her with a face full of disappointment: "What if I don't agree?"
“She is a weak woman. If she is driven out of the Marquis’s mansion, how will she survive?” Wei Xuan’s eyes were full of pity: “She saved my life. If Grandmother insists on forcing her to take her own life, then I will have no choice but to go with her.”
"you……"
Madam Wei never expected him to say such a pathetic thing!
It's not that she's old-fashioned and thinks that a man's indulgence in love is something shameful, but you have to consider what kind of person the other is.
You know, his father was even more sentimental about his children than he was, and the key is that his daughter-in-law is worth it.
But look at what he found...
What the hell!
No wonder people say, "Fish follow fish, shrimp follow shrimp, and frogs follow toads." Their own is no better!
Coming to her senses, Old Madam Wei sighed heavily and said, "Take her back and keep a close eye on her. If she does it again..."
"Your grandson will not let her get away with this!"
"It's not just her." Old Madam Wei looked at her grandson, whom she had doted on since childhood, gritted her teeth, and said ruthlessly, "If there's a next time, you and she will both be kicked out of the Marquis's mansion!"
Wei Xuan was suddenly startled and stammered, "...Yes."
Shen Nianyin relied on nothing more than Wei Xuan's sincerity, but Shen Qiyin felt that sincerity might be able to withstand the harshness of life, but it might not be able to withstand the trivialities of life.
At least when he left Lingyan Temple, Wei Xuan was no longer as eager to treat Shen Nianyin as he had been when he arrived.
Upon seeing this, Xianglan kept nagging, "I think it's good that the two of them are tied together. They're a pair of crazy people, so please don't separate them and let them go and cause trouble for others."
I find the idea of deep immersion in marriage to be reasonable.
The master and servant walked towards the back mountain of Lingyan Temple, crickets chirping behind them as they pondered over Yin and Wei Xuan.
Xiao Yan and Chu Si were waiting there.
She had suspected that Shen Nianyin might hire assassins, so just in case, she spoke with Xiao Yan beforehand and asked him to come forward and find out who was working for Shen Nianyin.
But Chu Si said, "The young lady is right. There were indeed assassins lying in ambush in the back mountain, but they are all dead."
Shen Qiyin looked at Xiao Yan: "You killed him?"
“No.” Xiao Yan helped her tighten her cloak and said, “They committed suicide.”
"You have such high expectations of yourself?!" Do you think you can't live without completing the task?
"puff--"
As soon as he finished speaking, several abrupt bursts of laughter suddenly rang out from the side.
Shen Qiyin looked in the direction of the sound and saw several unfamiliar faces standing not far behind Xiao Yan.
Upon seeing the numbers, the men immediately knelt down, saying, "Your subordinates greet you, young lady."
"Are they your guards too?" Just like on the fourth day of the lunar month?
"I guess so."
In fact, these people were originally his confidants, just like Xiong Lu and his men. However, later, when His Majesty intended to bring them into the court, he selected those who were openly in office, while the rest remained his private soldiers.
Shen Qiyin nodded thoughtfully, then asked in confusion, "Were you laughing at me just now?"
"No, no, I absolutely didn't mean to make fun of you." The leader waved his hands repeatedly, then scratched his neck with a bright red face and stammered, "I just thought what you said just now was quite cute."
