The brothers and sisters discussed it and were eager to try it out. They ignored the bites of mosquitoes and were only interested in finding out who the man in black was.
In Wutong Garden, Chu Guannan slept soundly beside Shen Qingwu until dawn, when he woke up on time.
Shen Qingwu was a light sleeper, so he woke up as soon as he got up.
"When I came yesterday, your brother and the others were waiting for me on the roof. Should we tell them about our situation?" Chu Guannan asked the person behind him who turned over and wanted to continue sleeping while putting on his boots.
"Whatever you want." Shen Qingwu yawned.
Chu Guannan is very strong, but Shen Qingfeng, Shen Qingtang and the other two are not pushovers either. Chu Guannan might be able to get rid of them when he leaves, but when Chu Guannan comes, he can't disappear without a trace under their noses.
Now that they have discovered it, it is only a matter of time before they are exposed.
It’s better to say it earlier so that everyone can sleep well. Chu Guannan wants to aspire to the throne, and Shen Qingfeng will be a great help to him.
"Then should I go meet them?" Chu Guannan didn't leave in a hurry, but asked her tentatively.
"If you're not afraid of being beaten, it's up to you." Shen Qingwu tried to find a comfortable sleeping position again.
She really wanted to tell Chu Guannan not to come every day, as this made her wake up every morning and affected her sleep.
But when the words came to his lips, he held them back.
"Do you trust them very much?" Chu Guannan looked at her lying on her side with her hands raised to hug the pillow, and couldn't help but reach out and poke her shoulder.
After being poked by him, Shen Qingwu suddenly found a comfortable sleeping position and hummed lazily, "Didn't I give you a chance to contact my eldest brother before? Why didn't you contact him? Don't you trust him?"
"We have to meet the person in person first." Chu Guannan stopped disturbing her and got up to get dressed.
The three siblings were lying motionless on the roof, taking turns to take a nap. Shen Qingtang estimated the time and woke everyone up. They all stared at Wutong Garden with wide eyes.
"I'm going outside the yard." Shen Qinghe pointed to the place where Chu Guannan appeared last night and said in a low voice.
Shen Qingtang nodded, "Be careful, he is very vigilant."
Shen Qinghe immediately got off the roof. Just a moment after he left, the sound of a door being gently pushed open was heard in Wutong Garden in the morning mist.
Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingtang immediately tensed their bodies and lowered their heads even more.
Just when they thought that the tall figure would leave as fast as the wind as it came, they suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blowing in their faces, and everything in front of them went dark.
The tiles on the roof made a clashing sound. The two of them lying on the roof looked up at the same time and met Chu Guannan's cold and handsome face.
This encounter came so unexpectedly that they didn't expect to see each other's faces without any warning.
It turned out to be His Royal Highness Prince Yan, who was rumored in Kyoto to be favored but a good-for-nothing in his nature, with nothing but a pretty face.
"Mr. Shen is in such a good mood that he comes out so early to watch the sunrise?" Chu Guannan half-knelt beside Shen Qingfeng, raised his hand and poked the mosquito bite on Shen Qingfeng's face without any politeness.
Shen Qingfeng came back to his senses awkwardly, his mind a little confused, and he climbed up awkwardly using his hands and feet, "Yan, His Royal Highness Prince Yan..."
Shen Qingtang was also very shocked. The flower thief turned out to be Chu Guannan?
And is it so good for Chu Guannan to extend his hand?
"Did you find us when you came yesterday?" Shen Qingtang looked at Chu Guannan's teasing smile, suppressed the embarrassment on his face, and asked casually.
Chu Guannan nodded uncertainly and glanced at the eastern sky. "It's getting late. Save some dinner for me tonight. Maybe we can sit down and chat together. Qingwu finally agreed to let me show up."
After leaving these words, Chu Guannan flashed away, and when Shen Qingfeng could see him again, it was Chu Guannan who jumped out of Wutong Garden.
He was shocked. "How could it be him? How did they know each other?"
"When I came to Kyoto two years ago, I met Chu Guannan. At that time, his internal strength was not so deep and was far inferior to mine. How come he has made such rapid progress in just two years?" What Shen Qingtang wanted to know most now was how Chu Guannan made such rapid progress.
"Maybe it was fate." Shen Qingfeng's heart was filled with complex emotions. "Qingtang, do you think he is serious about Qingwu by being so secretive?"
Shen Qingtang stood up and landed in the courtyard, looking at the people around him, "Who knows? As long as Qingwu is not attracted to him, what does it matter whether it's true or not? Big brother, I'm going to catch up on some sleep first."
"Qingtang, you left now? Did you see who it was? I only saw a figure whoosh and disappeared from my sight. I definitely couldn't catch up with him, so I came back." Shen Qinghe ran back breathlessly.
"You should be able to see him tonight." Shen Qingtang patted Shen Qinghe's shoulder helplessly, and went back to his yard yawning.
…
"Liu Ruyan's fate wasn't her fault?" Under the dim palace lanterns, Concubine Liu chuckled softly upon hearing this. "Why didn't you ask, if it wasn't her fault, then whose fault is it?"
"She said she needed to see Liu Ruyan's body to know." Chu Tao stood in front of Concubine Liu with his waist bent respectfully.
"Please sit down. It's not appropriate for you to stand at your age." Concubine Liu smiled and pushed a cup of tea in front of Chu Tao.
"Then find a way to let her go and see. I want to see how capable Shen Qingwu is." Concubine Liu sneered.
"The two Taoists have already returned to the mountain. They said they couldn't tell how strong Shen Qingwu is, but he was definitely stronger than the old Taoist." Chu Tao knelt on the mat opposite Concubine Liu's table with a respectful attitude.
"He is so young, yet he has such abilities. Tell me, is Shen Qingwu a human or a monster?" Concubine Liu took a sip of tea.
Chu Tao raised his eyes to look at her and asked tentatively, "What does the Queen wish for her?"
Concubine Liu smiled, "Of course it's a demon. A real one would be best, but a fake one is fine too. As long as it's a demon, it's fine."
…
Wutong Garden.
While eating, Shen Qingwu felt strange glances from all directions, but fortunately she was thick-skinned enough. If anyone looked at her, she wouldn't ask.
In the end, it was Shen Qinglei who couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why were you so sure that my mother would go crazy again yesterday? Did Zhao Ruyun do something?"
"Actually, you can also ask Zhao Ruyun." Shen Qingwu said lightly.
Shen Qinglei was furious. "How could someone as ungrateful as Zhao Ruyun say, 'Sister, we should just send her back home. She's not from the Shen family, so there's no need for her to marry out of the Shen family, right?' Why should we bother giving face to someone like her?"
Shen Qinglei is now extremely fed up with Zhao Ruyun. She clearly said that she would take care of her mother, but whenever her mother makes a fuss, she calls him, saying that he is her biological son and that her mother needs him the most. He doesn't know why her mother listens to Zhao Ruyun so much.
I've pampered her for so many years, but she can't even take care of herself. What's the point of keeping her in the mansion?
