But why didn't Shen Ran call him like usual?

A trace of doubt flashed through Zhuang Sheng's mind, but he quickly covered it up. He didn't want to think about it anymore. He just wanted to quickly take down the "Shen Ran" in front of him, so that he could force her to talk to the people of the Shen family. It would be easy for him to become the son-in-law of the Shen family.

If the Shen family is unwilling, he will publicize the matter. For the reputation of all the women in the Shen family, no matter what he wants in the end, will the Shen family dare not help him?

But the person in front of him didn't turn around for a long time. Zhuang Sheng became impatient and turned her around. He saw that she had buried her head in his chest. He thought she was shy, so he quickly hugged her.

Zhuang Sheng suddenly felt dizzy and didn't know what was wrong with him. He fell to the ground.

After seeing him fall completely, everyone came out from the darkness. These people were all people who had been hurt by Zhuang Sheng in the same way. As soon as they saw Zhuang Sheng, their eyes were filled with hatred.

Seeing this, Liuyun just said, "Do whatever you want."

As he spoke, someone came up and stabbed him in the thigh, again and again, and the blood kept flowing.

Liuyun still remembered what Lin Xi said in his heart. Now someone could die. "Sisters, he can't die now, but Miss Lin will avenge you. I only ask you not to tell others about Miss Lin."

After Liuyun said this, he stepped forward and applied the hemostatic ointment on his thigh. Although the ointment worked, it was not known whether his thigh could be saved.

Shen Ran, who was persuaded by Lin Xi to go back, was still thinking about Zhuang Sheng, wondering if he had waited for her all night in vain. When she returned, she saw Shen Qingran with a serious expression. She tilted her head and said angrily, "Sister, why are you prejudiced against Mr. Zhuang? You haven't seen how good he is to me."

"You only know how to listen to Lin Xi and think about her. I am your biological sister, why don't you think more about me? If even you have this attitude, then naturally the whole family will only listen to you."

After saying these words, Shen Ran still lacked confidence. After all, in the Shen family, everyone believed in the eldest sister's words. If she said anything bad about Zhuang Sheng, her family would definitely ask her to cut off contact with Mr. Zhuang.

"You said he treats you well?" Shen Qingran sneered, threw the letter to the ground, and said in a cold tone: "For your reputation, I specially asked the prince to bring a letter home. Do you know that the Master Zhuang you mentioned already has five concubines, and a room full of concubines and illegitimate children, so what? Are you eager to go to the Zhuang Mansion to be the stepmother of these children?"

Shen Ran picked up the letter on the ground in disbelief. When she saw Shen's private seal on it, she knew that her family must have checked it out. Her first fear was that her family would not allow her to marry Lord Zhuang.

"Sister, I know all these things, but he is young and ignorant. He will change in the future."

Seeing Shen Ran so stubborn, Shen Qingran's expression became somewhat helpless. She didn't know what kind of love potion Zhuang Sheng had fed to his sister, and she actually believed everything he said.

"Shen Ran, did the Shen family teach you to be so self-deprecating? Zhuang Sheng is not a good match, but you still want to marry him? Since you said he will change, why don't you tell me that during the same period as you, a palace maid became pregnant, and the child in her belly was also his. After hearing this, do you still think he will change?"

Shen Qingran clenched her hands, trying her best to control her emotions. Zhuang Sheng would not be a good match, but she could pretend not to see it. Zhuang Sheng would definitely not tell her these things, but she had never thought that her sister could be so stupid.

"Sister, that's because the palace maid is shameless and seduces people at will. Lord Zhuang was just bewitched and used by her." When Shen Ran said these words, the expression on his face was resolute.

Shen Qingran was already disappointed. She knew that her sister would never look back no matter what she said. She stood up and said simply and clearly: "If you want to marry him, that's fine. The only thing is that you will no longer be the daughter of the Shen family from now on."

"The Shen family will tell everyone that you are dead and give you a clean identity to marry into the Zhuang Mansion, but you can no longer say that you are the daughter of the Shen family in your life. Are you willing?"

Shen Qingran's resolute words made Shen Qingran back down all of a sudden. She was also worried and afraid in her heart, but she nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I agree."

Anyway, at that time, she had already married Lord Zhuang. If she went to the Shen family to beg for mercy in the future, her father and mother would naturally be soft-hearted. By then, her eldest sister would have calmed down and naturally would not argue with her.

When she thought of this, she became more determined.

Shen Qingran didn't expect that she would really agree. While he was heartbroken, he never thought that family would have such a low importance in her heart.

I don't want to say these words anymore.

Shen Qingran closed his eyes and said nothing more.

The next day, Zhuang Sheng was found in the small garden. He had lost so much blood that his thigh could not be saved.

In the Imperial Hospital, he had no scruples and insulted Shen Ran in front of everyone, saying that it was the Second Miss of the Shen family who seduced him. He didn't like the Second Miss's debauchery, but she turned love into hate and framed him, causing him to become disabled.

Shen Ran was locked in the house by Shen Qingran, and had no idea what was happening outside.

She just felt that the palace maid who came to bring her food today had strange behavior and expression, which made her a little confused about what was going on. Under the current circumstances, she was a little hesitant.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed a maid and asked, "What happened?"

The palace maid then told her the whole situation. Now people outside were saying that she was a vicious and evil woman who could have turned the burly Lord Zhuang into this state.

After all, Zhuang Sheng was handsome and had many women in the palace who had feelings for him. When they knew he was ill, they naturally hated the culprit.

Shen Ran didn't even see Zhuang Sheng yesterday, so how could he have hurt him?

······

"How dare Shen Ran, that vicious woman, harm me?"

Zhuang Sheng was carried back, and together with him out of the palace was the man who had saved him last night. That man had his face covered and was sneaking around. He must be a young eunuch who wanted to leave the palace.

When he left the palace, the man disappeared. Zhuang Sheng didn't care. After all, the man was an illegal resident in the palace and had no jade certificate. He could leave the palace without being discovered.

Last night, Lin Yuanyue, who was following Lin Xi, saw her ordering people to attack this man. She just wanted to know if this man was still alive, but she didn't expect him to suddenly grab her arm and tell her that if she saved her, he would fulfill one of her wishes.

She wanted to leave the palace, so she took a gamble, and unexpectedly, she won the bet.

Lin Yuanyue now only wanted to run to the Lin Mansion. She was in tatters and could not even get through the gate of the Lin Mansion. She had never thought that one day she would fall to a point where she would be worse than Lin Xi.

At the gate of the Lin Mansion, she said to the guard: "I am the second lady of the Lin Mansion. If you dare to stop me, I will let you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My second young lady is now in the Ninth Prince's residence. Who do you think you are?" The guard asked someone to carry Lin Yuanyue and throw her out.

She fell to the ground in the mud. Yu Guangzhong saw people around her pointing at her and quickly covered her face with a cloth.

Lin Yuanyue never expected that she would end up in such a miserable state one day.

When she thought about Lin Xi becoming a future female official, she really couldn't understand why Lin Xi could get to this position.

What made her feel even more unbalanced now was that she knew that Lin Xi was not only surrounded by Mr. Chen San, but also the eldest son of the Shen family.

These people are the ones she has always dreamed of, and now they all like Lin Xi?

The Ninth Prince seemed to like her, but he only liked her appearance. After marrying her to the Prince's Palace, he casually threw her to be tortured by Concubine Ruan. He finally came to see her, but after seeing her ruined face, he didn't want to see her again.

Even when she was tortured day after day, she was unwilling to save herself.

How did I end up living like this?

Lin Yuanyue regretted it in her heart, but what was the use of regretting it? She was already like this now, and there was no room for change.

Now, even if I just want to go home, I can’t do it.

Lin Yuanyue cried. She used to be very proud and never willing to bow her head in front of people who she considered inferior. Now she regretted it very much.

If she didn't trust the monk so much, she wouldn't have given the things she got directly to Concubine Ruan.

If she didn't marry the Ninth Prince, could she still choose someone else to marry? Maybe it wouldn't be as good as the palace?

A carriage stopped at the door. Xu's eyes fell on Lin Yuanyue who was sitting on the ground. "What's going on?"

She was a little unhappy. The Lin Mansion was finally back in her hands, so naturally she had to clean it up inside and out. What was going on with this person sitting at the door?

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yuanyue rushed over and shouted loudly: "Mother, it's me, I'm Yue'er, I'm Yue'er!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu was stunned for a moment. Noticing the gazes of the people around her, she quickly turned cold and ordered someone, "What's going on? Does the Lin Mansion allow anyone to come and cause trouble? Hurry up and deal with it."

After she finished speaking, Xu always felt in her heart that this person was very familiar to her, but she didn't dare to confirm whether she was really her Yue'er?

But Yue'er, shouldn't you be in the prince's mansion now?

When she thought of this, she decided that she must go to the prince's mansion to see Yue'er, otherwise her heart would always be uneasy.

Or, it was the nanny beside Xu who first noticed something unusual. The voice of the person just now sounded so much like that of the young lady that she couldn't help but wonder if it was the young lady?

She ordered someone to bring the person to the Lin Mansion from an unnoticed place.

Xu still thought so in her heart. As soon as she entered the door, she met Lin Hewen, who had been in high spirits recently.

Madam Wen gave birth to another son, and Xu began to feel a sense of crisis.

She stepped forward, thinking about his mood these days, and said, "Master, Yue'er hasn't been back for a long time, why don't you write a post and ask Yue'er to come back to participate in the Full Moon Bar!"

Hearing this, Lin Hewen's face instantly fell, "How is it possible? Yue'er is not marrying an ordinary citizen, she is a royal family, will it be useful if I submit the invitation? Still need the approval of the higher-ups."

At this point, he frowned, "Yue'er herself is useless and has no way to win the heart of the Ninth Prince, so she can't come back. If she were useful, I could even enter the gate of the Ninth Prince's mansion."

Hearing this, Xu's face was full of disbelief. She didn't expect that Lin Hewen had such thoughts in his mind and didn't even think about Yue'er's safety.

"Master, Yue'er is your daughter. Have you ever thought about whether she is doing well?"

"Hmph! What's wrong with being in the prince's mansion? She will be well fed and well cared for. It would be best if there is good news this year, so that her position can be secured. Otherwise, she is really useless and not as good as her son."

When talking about his son, Lin Hewen thought of Madam Wen, "And you, if you can be like Madam Wen and make me worry less, it would be even better."

Xu would no longer be sad about what Lin Hewen said. She had long seen through the selfishness and hypocrisy in his heart.

She knelt down and bowed, then returned to her own courtyard. Unexpectedly, she saw the worried-looking Mammy, who asked unhappily, "Why, are you also going to be mad at me?"

Hearing this, the maid said quickly: "I am not angry with you at all, I just have something to tell you."

The nanny quickly told her that Lin Yuanyue had returned.

When Xu heard that her daughter Yue'er had finally returned, she was very happy. Now that Yue'er was back, she could finally hold her head up high in this mansion.

However, seeing the nanny's hesitant expression, she panicked and asked, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"

"Madam, go and have a look yourself!"

As she said that, Xu walked in quickly. Unexpectedly, she saw Lin Yuanyue in a disheveled state. She was so shocked that she couldn't react for a moment. How could this happen?

"Yue'er, my Yue'er." Xu hugged Lin Yuanyue tightly, but her mind immediately came to her senses, "Did you sneak out?"

"How disgraceful."
