Chapter 8 The Slave Wants to Bully the Master
Accompanied by Shen Tianhao with great care, Chen Yan stepped into the flat Xicui Courtyard paved with bluestone, passed through a colorful garden, and walked to the end of the courtyard.
Chen Yan looked up and saw a tall building with flying eaves and pointed corners, hidden among the flowers and trees swaying in the wind.
This is Xicuiyuan where the original owner lived.
Although the original owner was despised by the Shen family and even the Nanxiao Kingdom, her treatment was not too bad because she had her father Shen Tianhao as a backer. However, she lacked cultivation resources, and when Shen Tianhao was not around, almost no one in the Shen family would treat her well, and many people even bullied her secretly.
"Yan'er, the doctor will be here soon."
Shen Tianhao carefully supported her, looking at the injuries and dried blood on her body, his eyes couldn’t help but feel sore.
Shen Yan retracted her gaze, looked at Shen Tianhao, and asked quite seriously: "Dad, if one day, I kill Shen Xue, how will you look at me?"
Shen Tianhao was shocked when he heard this.
Immediately, Shen Tianhao said bitterly: “That’s what she deserves!”
"Yan'er, I'm sorry. It's not that Daddy won't avenge you. Now Xue... Shen Xue is protected by your grandfather and the elders, and even everyone in the Shen family..."
As Shen Tianhao was talking, he realized something and his face froze. He was shocked to realize that he was a fool before. How could he not realize that Shen Xue was actually a hypocritical person, and she was very good at winning people's hearts.
If Shen Xue had been dissatisfied with Yan'er from the beginning, then...
Shen Tianhao looked at her anxiously: “Yan’er, has she been bullying you all these years?”
"Yeah." Chen Yan did not deny it, because in the original owner's memory, Shen Xue either directly or indirectly caused the original owner to be injured, and his reputation became worse and worse.
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianhao clenched his fists and the veins in his neck bulged. It seemed that he could no longer bear it. When he turned around and was about to settle the score with Shen Xue——
The sleeve was pulled.
Shen Tianhao looked back and saw Yan'er's unusually calm face.
Chen Yan said calmly: “Dad, there is no rush for revenge.”
"But..." Shen Tianhao's tears surged. Finally, he raised his strong arms and hugged Shen Yan tightly. He said with suppressed emotions: "Daddy is not a good father. He failed to take care of you in time. Daddy is sorry for you. He can't even avenge you."
Chen Yan's body was stiff and she felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn't been hugged so tightly for a long time.
In fact, Shen Tianhao has done a very good job as a father.
In this 'cannibalistic' family, although the original owner was stupid, he also received the proper care and treatment, and all this was because of Shen Tianhao.
As for the biological mother of the original owner and his younger brother Shen Huai, she has never appeared.
It is said that on a stormy day fourteen or fifteen years ago, Shen Tianhao, a genius summoner who had been away from home for many years, was suddenly seriously injured and managed to return to the Shen family holding a pair of twins.
He only announced to the public that the twins were his children.
But there was no mention of the biological mother of the twins.
To this day, the mysterious biological mother is still a taboo word in the Shen family.
Even before his younger brother Shen Huai left home to study at the Western Region College, he specifically asked Shen Tianhao about it. Shen Tianhao was furious and punished Shen Huai by making him kneel in the Shen family's ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan said slowly: "Dad, I want to practice, whether it is Shen Xue or Nangong Yu, I want to solve it myself."
These words made Shen Tianhao stunned.
"Yan'er, you..."
Chen Yan quickly explained: "On my way back, I met a mysterious and powerful old man. He said in an unfathomable manner that I can cultivate spiritual power as long as I can find the Blood-sucking Pearl."
Shen Tianhao frowned, feeling doubtful and uncertain.
Seeing him like this, Chen Yan suddenly thought of something in her mind. As her eyes turned, she couldn't help but ask tentatively: "The old man also said that my main spiritual bone was sealed by a strange poison..."
These words made Shen Tianhao's face change instantly.
"How could it be..." He stared at Chen Yan with an expression of disbelief. He held her arms with both hands, his lips trembling violently, and he wanted to say something but stopped himself many times.
Chen Yan frowned and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Tianhao looked distraught, as if he had recalled some painful memories. He murmured with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yan'er, it's all Daddy's fault!"
Seeing this, Chen Yan's eyes floated. She could already be sure of two things. Father Shen didn't know that her main spiritual bone was sealed by poison, but... Father Shen might know who sealed her main spiritual bone.
Just then, the servant came with the doctor.
"Young Master, Doctor Huang is here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tianhao quickly adjusted his emotions.
He let Chen Yan into the room without delay, and then asked Doctor Huang to check Chen Yan's internal and external injuries.
Doctor Huang is a woman, so she can check Chen Yan's injuries all over her body.
Shen Tianhao and the servant left the room.
When Ling Yuan, a pretty maid, was about to take off the bloody clothes for Chen Yan, she was stopped by Chen Yan: "Wait a moment."
Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Wait, what's there to wait for!" She didn't know that Chen Yan had regained consciousness, so she just went for it roughly as before and pulled Chen Yan's clothes.
As soon as she got started, a hand grabbed her wrist with such force that her bones were almost crushed.
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts!" Ling Yuan let out a sharp scream.
Doctor Huang was stunned when he saw this. Just when he was about to come over to check the situation, he was glanced at indifferently by Chen Yan.
This glance was like a blanket of frost that made her stop in her tracks, with a trace of fear in her heart.
Chen Yan's cold voice sounded.
"I said, wait a moment."
As she said that, she let go of Ling Yuan's wrist.
But Ling Yuan felt pain and seemed to have lost her mind. In anger, she wanted to raise her hand and slap Chen Yan like she did before.
"How dare you hurt me, you idiot!"
Before Ling Yuan's hand hit Shen Yan's face, a muffled sound was heard.
Bang--
Ling Yuan was suddenly kicked and flew away, hitting the dressing table hard. Suddenly, there was a "clang clang" sound, and the broken bronze mirror scratched Ling Yuan.
"Ahhh!" Ling Yuan felt a pain in the back of her waist. When she felt blood on her hand, she screamed in fear.
When Shen Tianhao and the guards who were guarding outside the room heard this, their faces changed.
Shen Tianhao almost broke into Shen Yan's boudoir, but he held back and kept his last bit of rationality to ask: "Yan'er, what happened in there?"
Chen Yan glanced at Ling Yuan, who was still panicking, indifferently, and replied calmly: "It's okay, there was just a little mouse bumping around."
