Shen Qingwu thought of Shen Qinglei, who was covered in wounds and had to carry her on his back, and she coughed uncomfortably.
"Alright, a real man sheds blood, not tears. I didn't say I was going to kick you out. As long as you behave in the future, I will protect you."
She took it upon herself to forgive Shen Qinglei for the bad things he had done to her on behalf of her foolish soul.
Shen Qinglei looked at her with red eyes, "Is everything you said true?"
Shen Qingwu felt a little sorry to see him like this.
If her guess was correct, even if Shen Qinglei was not Shen Lan's son, he was Shen Hao's.
She nodded, "Really, really. If you don't believe me, I'll send you to my father and let you experience the battlefield."
Shen Qinglei's eyes suddenly became expectant, "Really?"
But before Shen Qingwu could speak, he shook his head and said, "My mother won't agree."
He had mentioned it to Zhao Qiuyi before, but it was rejected.
Shen Qingwu could see that Shen Qinglei was born into a military family and had the ambition to defend his country on the battlefield.
The scene she just saw came to her mind, and she touched Shen Qinglei's head lovingly.
"If you really want to be a great general, then you can't just play around with cats and dogs every day. You need to study and practice martial arts. Otherwise, you'll be hacked in half the moment you go to the battlefield, and we won't even be able to find your body."
Shen Qinglei was almost spoiled by Zhao Qiuyi. He was already twelve years old and hadn't learned any martial arts.
Zhao Qiuyi wanted Shen Qinglei to study literature, but Shen Qinglei was not that type of person.
"But my mother..."
"Your mother, your mother, you have grown up now, but you always ask your mother for everything. What kind of future can you have?!" Shen Qingwu said with disdain.
I contacted Shen Qinglei again, but there was no response.
Shen Qinglei murmured, "...of all virtues, filial piety comes first."
"I am still your sister. You were never kind to me when you bullied me when I was stupid!" Shen Qingwu's hands were itching again.
I forgive him, but I still want to beat him up a few more times to vent my anger.
Thinking of this, he slapped Shen Qinglei on the back.
Shen Qinglei staggered a few steps, walked through the rose bushes, and fell against the wall.
Fortunately, there is a wall.
Shen Qinglei's face hurt from the collision. He covered his face and looked back at Shen Qingwu with grievance, "Why did you hit me again?"
The thorns of this flower have pricked my hands. It hurts so much.
"Why did I hit you again? Didn't you trick me into picking roses with my bare hands last year, and pricked my hands until they were covered in blood?!" Shen Qingwu kicked Shen Qinglei in the butt, and he was getting angrier the more he thought about it.
If she doesn't fight today, the evil will accumulate in the future and she's afraid she might kill someone, so she'd better fight first.
Shen Qinglei also thought of what happened last year and huddled in the corner with a guilty conscience. "I, I...I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
Ever since he could remember, his cousin always loved to tease his eldest sister. She felt happy after teasing her, and his mother didn't care.
If he doesn't play with his cousin, his cousin won't play with him. His cousin is silly and not fun.
Of course, he only bullies Shen Qingwu at home. If he meets him outside, he will still help Shen Qingwu.
Shen Qingwu took a deep breath and returned to the previous topic. "It's true that you are filial, but you can't be blindly filial. You can't agree to eat shit just because your mother asks you to, right?"
"My mother wouldn't do that!" Shen Qinglei glared at Shen Qingwu with dissatisfaction.
Shen Qingwu smiled innocently, "I was just making an analogy."
"You, you are so disrespectful!" Shen Qinglei stomped his feet in anger.
"Look at you, you haven't read much and you're at a loss for words even when arguing." Shen Qingwu walked around the rose bushes and towards Shen Qinglei.
Shen Qinglei's scalp tightened and he pressed harder against the wall.
"Go back and think about what to do. If you work hard, I will naturally help you." Shen Qingwu just stood in front of him, left a gentle word, and then turned and left.
…
On the way back to Wutong Garden, Zhao Ruyun and two maids blocked the road in a threatening manner.
Shen Qingwu just pretended she didn't exist.
Just when she was thinking about whether to carry the person away and throw him into the flowers nearby, or to go around him, Zhao Ruyun's two maids stretched out their hands on the left and right and blocked her way.
Shen Qingwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Ruyun behind the maid.
"Shen Qingwu, don't think that the prince will like you just because he sends you back!" Zhao Ruyun said fiercely but without much momentum.
"You rushed to climb into the prince's bed, is it because you like him?" Shen Qingwu stopped and sneered mockingly.
Zhao Ruyun's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shen Qingwu looked at the maid blocking her way and reminded her lightly, "Don't forget that your monthly salary comes from the Shen family."
The two maids shook their raised hands.
It was only after Zhao Ruyun came to Beijing that Zhao Qiuyi was willing to give her two personal maids. Before that, in Wuzhou, the living conditions were poor and they had to share the maids and servants at home.
"My aunt has already given me your indentures." Zhao Ruyun's pupils shrank and she said quickly.
"In that case, you will have to collect your monthly salary from the Zhao family from now on. You can't get it from the Shen family's account office." Shen Qingwu looked regretful.
The two maids quickly regained their firm support for Zhao Ruyun.
They had helped Zhao Ruyun find many ways to bully Shen Qingwu, and knowing the relationship between Zhao Ruyun and the prince, they had no way out.
"You are definitely not Shen Qingwu. Sooner or later, I will expose your fake mask!" Zhao Ruyun knew that Shen Qingwu was no longer the one who dared not complain after being beaten, so she did not dare to take action today.
She saw that the prince was upset because Shen Qingwu ignored him, so she waited here to make Shen Qingwu unhappy.
Shen Qingwu looked at Zhao Ruyun's ferocious facial features, raised his hand and grabbed the maid's wrist, and effortlessly threw the two of them into the grass nearby.
The two maids were knocked over before they could react. Their heads hit the flower bed, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.
Zhao Ruyun's eyes widened in horror, and she instinctively stepped back. "You, you are not Shen Qingwu. What are you going to do?"
But his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
He looked up and saw Shen Qingwu approaching him, and subconsciously turned over and tried to crawl away to escape.
However, just as he turned around, before his right hand touched the ground, Shen Qingwu grabbed his shoulder and lifted him back up.
“Ahhh——” Zhao Ruyun screamed and sat on the ground waving her limbs.
Shen Qingwu frowned in disdain and raised his hand to turn the person back.
Zhao Ruyun was lying on the ground, Shen Qingwu was stepping on her back, and she was unable to struggle.
Shen Qingwu pulled off Zhao Ruyun's belt and tied her struggling hands, then used her skirt to tie her flapping feet, and tore off a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Zhao Ruyun's mouth.
Then he turned the person over again.
Zhao Ruyun curled up on the ground, sobbing and shaking her head as she looked at Shen Qingwu approaching.
Shen Qingwu brushed the unnecessary dust off his palms, lifted the hem of his skirt, and squatted in front of Zhao Ruyun. He sneered and asked, "Weren't you very brave when you pushed me off the cliff? Are you scared now?"
I just fiddled with Zhao Ruyun for a long time, but only saw two pictures.
One is that Zhao Ruyun, with her pregnant belly, walked into the Shen family’s gate with a large group of people, looking very impressive.
The other one is...
