Xiao Yu pulled Shen Fu into his arms and examined her carefully.
Her hair was a little messy, but her clothes were neat. Except for the red circles under her eyes, the rest of her appearance was normal.
Only then did he feel relieved.
King Heng, who was standing by, saw this and couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Chen Fu.
The emperor truly favors her.
He had never seen such a cautious attitude in his brother.
You know, when she first came, she heard the maid talking to her like this. At that time, the emperor's brother's eyes were full of murderous intent.
This Concubine Zhao is truly not a simple person.
Prince Heng secretly complained in his heart, but at the same time his eyes were looking at Chen Fu.
Chen Fu was being stared at by King Heng like this, and she was afraid that the same thing would happen again.
She couldn't help but shrink back and took half a step back.
"I'll take care of it for you, don't be afraid." Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu immediately took Shen Fu's hand, reached out and patted her palm in comfort.
But at the same time, when he turned to the maid lying on the ground, he became extremely furious.
How dare a mere maid give orders to others?
I only saved half of her life, which was already considered merciful.
"Take him off." The killing intent in His Majesty's eyes was obvious. Seeing this, Chen Fu immediately reached out and held His Majesty's palm: "I am not going to do it."
She shook her head quietly towards His Majesty.
The maid fell to the ground, and was kicked almost to death. He vomited blood and only wailed.
There is no need to pursue this further.
Xiao Yu's anger finally subsided a little and he no longer looked at the maid on the ground. But when his eyes met Chen Changshan who was standing in the crowd, they were still fierce.
This person is Shen Fu's biological father. Xiao Yu's dark eyes are unfathomable. When he faces Shen Changshan, his aura seems to suffocate people.
"Lord Shen."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Changshan's heart trembled.
Everyone around was panicking.
Shen Changshan felt a chill in his heart. He knew that his daughter seemed to be extremely favored by the emperor in the harem, but he did not expect that the emperor would be so kind to her.
Since the beginning, I have been protecting you in my arms.
Until now, he still refuses to let her go. Such favor is probably rare in the entire harem.
"I deserve to die..." Shen Changshan knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead like raindrops.
The emperor was wearing casual clothes, and although he was surrounded by people, the guards were also dressed in ordinary clothes.
Shen Changshan knew the situation clearly and knew that the emperor did not want to attract too much attention, so he knelt on the ground and only dared to call himself a subordinate.
"I have no intention of offending you, please forgive me."
The servants behind him had no idea of the identities of His Majesty and others.
But seeing his master kneeling in front of him, he knew that Chen Fu and others were of high status.
The servants held Aunt Cui and knelt down trembling in front of Chen Fu and the others.
"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die."
The servants followed suit and begged for mercy. When Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Aunt Cui, he guessed what was going on.
Ever since Shen Qingru's death, Aunt Cui has been traumatized and has gone insane.
Not only does he not remember much, but he also thinks everyone is his own daughter.
The spy had reported this more than once, and Xiao Yu knew it in his heart, but he had never told Shen Fu.
When I saw Aunt Cui, I guessed the whole story.
"Lord Shen can't manage his own family." Xiao Yu showed no mercy and said calmly:
“How do you manage differences?”
Since Shen Changshan was in the Dali Temple, although it was just a sinecure and he had no real power, it was still considered respectable.
Now that His Majesty has said something, he is afraid that his position will be in jeopardy.
Shen Changshan felt bitter in his heart, but he didn’t dare to refute. He kowtowed and said, "I obey your order."
He stood up, although his official position was no longer secure. But I don’t know whether Yingniang can save her life.
Just as he thought, His Majesty turned around and looked at Aunt Cui.
Cui Ying'er was held in the arms of the servants, but her eyes were desperately looking towards Shen Fu's side.
Her mouth was covered, but she was still screaming in her throat.
The cries of "展如儿" are heart-breaking.
"Master Shen, Aunt Cui..." Xiao Yu paused after he finished speaking.
He knew that if he said what was next. I'm afraid it will hurt Shen Fu's heart.
The Shen family has a strict family tradition. After Shen Changshan’s first wife, Mrs. Gu, died, he never remarried.
Even though his first wife died early, Shen Changshan has always been alone.
It's not because he is so affectionate, but because of his concubine.
Shen Changshan gave his affection to others, but as the daughter of the Gu family, Shen Fu was clearly the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, but she was not loved by her biological father.
No matter how much he said, it would be difficult to make up for this loss.
"Chen Fu." Xiao Yu didn't want to make Chen Fu sad.
Although Shen Changshan is a father, he cannot fulfill his responsibilities as a father, nor can he give Shen Fu the love as a father.
Then he would take his place.
He wanted to let Shen Changshan know that Shen Fu was the one he held in his heart, and not someone who could be abused by just any Tom, Dick or Harry.
“You speak,” Xiao Yu said, stretching out his hand and pulling Shen Fu to his side.
"It is you who has offended Cui. You have the final say on how to punish him."
Shen Changshan originally bent down and then straightened up again.
He stared at Shen Fu opposite him and swallowed the words in his throat bit by bit.
I couldn't even utter the words to beg for mercy now.
He stood in the middle awkwardly, but his eyes were still fixed on Chen Fu.
He didn't know much about his daughter. The most common feeling in my heart is guilt, and nothing else.
Chen Fu was not raised by him since she was a child. No matter how deep the blood relationship was, it would not be so strong without them spending time together.
Let's talk about Cui...
Shen Changshan looked at Cui Ying'er, who was kneeling on the ground with a pitiful look on her face, and sighed in his heart.
Cui was very close to him, and he couldn't betray her.
"Please show mercy, my lord." Shen Changshan finally spoke to Shen Fu.
"It was my fault that I hurt you, but I lost my flesh and blood and my mind is broken. Please spare her life because she didn't mean it sincerely."
Shen Changshan knelt down and saluted Shen Fu, his posture full of humility.
But when Shen Fu saw him like this, she couldn't hide the sneer in her throat.
Cui was his first wife, so what was the point of her first wife, Gu?
In her previous life, she waited for more than ten days in Suzhou, waiting for her father, whom she had never met, to come and see her.
What's the point of waiting for yourself?
He doted on Cui and had someone in his heart, so why did he marry Gu and give birth to himself?
Chen Fu was filled with anger, especially when she thought about herself in her previous life. Now she seemed like a joke.
"Chen Fu?" Xiao Yu noticed that something was wrong with Chen Fu and reached out to pull her sleeve.
Shen Fu then retracted her gaze: “Nothing.”
She lowered her head, her eyes full of indifference: "Go ahead."
What's the point of continuing to dwell on this?
So what if Cui was killed? My dear relatives will not come back to life, and all the hope I have waited for in Suzhou will not be taken back.
What has been done cannot be undone. The father-in-law used his life to see the truth about a man.
And she just gave him a dozen or so expectations.
The rest of your life is still yours, and you can start over again.
