Shen Qiuyan frowned and subconsciously stopped Jiang Wenye from continuing. She wouldn't allow Jiang Wenye to talk about her sister like that.
"Shut up, it's none of your business to talk about Yunxi's affairs." Shen Qiuyan snorted coldly.
Faced with Shen Qiuyan's indifference, Jiang Wenye was clearly taken aback. He had never seen Shen Qiuyan like this before. She had lost all her usual gentleness and consideration, leaving only indifference.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that something very important had disappeared, something he couldn't hold onto.
"Qiuyan, I... I'm just a little upset. She said such hurtful things," Jiang Wenye said softly.
“I don’t think Yunxi’s words were harsh; in fact, I think she’s right. It was your fault to begin with. The reason I came to see you today is not to go back with you, but to make things clear.” Shen Qiuyan sighed.
Jiang Wenye and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing panic in each other's eyes.
What does Shen Qiuyan mean by this?
“That’s true. Since you two have come to see my sister in person, it saves us the trouble of going to the Jiang family to discuss these matters.” Shen Yunxi smiled coldly. “I still have to thank my brother-in-law. This is probably the last time I’ll call you that. From now on, I can only call you Young Master Jiang. You know better than anyone how the Jiang family has treated my sister these past three years. Now that my sister has returned from the Jiang family, she doesn’t plan to go back. Ying’er will also stay with the Shen family.”
Madam Jiang's face paled. "You're talking nonsense! Qiu Yan would never do such a thing! Qiu Yan, quickly tell your mother that Miss Shen is lying. You want to go back with us, right? I know Wen Ye did something wrong. He shouldn't have hit you. We will definitely punish him when we get back. Would you like to come back with us?"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Qiuyan. You come back with us. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me," Jiang Wenye quickly added.
At this moment, he admitted that he was truly panicked, worried that Shen Qiuyan would abandon him and never return to the Jiang family.
It would be difficult for others to get a divorce, but Shen Qiuyan's status was different. If she wanted a divorce, the Empress Dowager would definitely agree.
Now that things have come to this, it seems there's no point in continuing. Otherwise, the Jiang family might be in trouble. In the end, Madam Jiang had no choice but to leave with Jiang Wenye. They also needed to go back and make some preparations. Presumably, the Shen family wouldn't forgive them so easily this time.
After seeing off the Jiang family, Shen Yunxi did not linger in Shen Qiuyan's courtyard. She knew that Shen Qiuyan needed to think carefully about her future path, but Shen Yunxi was not worried. She knew that Shen Qiuyan would definitely find the path that was most suitable for her.
In the following days, Shen Qiuyan finally came to her senses. She went to the palace and begged for a divorce from Jiang Wenye.
Shen Yunxi stayed at home and rarely went out. She also reduced her visits to the palace. Unless absolutely necessary, she was unwilling to go to the palace. Most importantly, she did not want to have any further contact with Jun Xuan.
One day, Shen Yunxi returned home and encountered a group of men in black in an alley not far from the Shen family. These men immediately attacked her, clearly intending to kill her.
"Yunxi!" a panicked voice rang out.
Upon seeing who it was, Shen Yunxi immediately shouted, "Brother Lin, you'd better leave quickly!"
Since these people are after her, she can't drag Lin Chen into this mess, after all, she already owes him a debt of gratitude.
However, Lin Chen headed straight for Shen Yunxi. He himself had some martial arts skills, but he only used them to strengthen his body and was far inferior to Jun Xuan.
Shen Yunxi brought quite a few people with her when she went out today. This was because Lan Pei was worried about her. Fortunately, these people played a very important role in buying Shen Yunxi and Lin Chen time to escape.
Unfortunately, he was eventually caught.
"Brother Lin, you're really foolish. Why did you get involved in this mess? It clearly has nothing to do with you," Shen Yunxi said worriedly.
Lin Chen remained calm, his gaze fixed on Shen Yunxi with tenderness, even though she was covered in wounds from the black-clad man's stabs.
"It's alright. We are not destined to be together in this life, but being able to live and die with you is my good fortune." As he spoke, Lin Chen took out a dried lotus seed from his waist. "I was unable to give it to you on the Lotus Festival, and I've kept it for a long time. I wonder if you would accept it?"
“Okay.” Shen Yunxi took the lotus seed, pursed her lips, looked at Lin Chen’s injured body and his affectionate eyes, “Brother Lin, if we both survive today, then I am willing to try my best to give us a chance.”
She thought that having died once, she would be calm about her feelings, but now, her heart is beating for Lin Chen again.
Lin Chen was overjoyed. Even if he died here today, he would be satisfied.
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and then Junxuan's figure appeared in Shen Yunxi's eyes.
Junxuan glanced at Shen Yunxi, and only after confirming that she was alright did he breathe a sigh of relief. He then ordered his men to kill all the men in black without leaving any survivors, and he himself joined the battle.
A moment later, corpses were everywhere. Shen Yunxi and Lin Chen came over to thank Jun Xuan.
Lin Chen hesitated, then only moved his throat slightly before remaining silent.
Shen Yunxi understood Lin Chen's thoughts. She gave Lin Chen a reassuring look, and then calmly looked at Jun Xuan.
"Your Majesty, I would like to speak with you privately. Would Your Majesty be so kind as to grant me permission?" Shen Yunxi said softly.
Junxuan stared intently into Shen Yunxi's eyes, and finally nodded.
At that moment, Junxuan didn't want to agree, because he could sense that Shen Yunxi seemed to have made up her mind, as if she had truly lost him completely.
