I am the villain amulet

The sky gradually brightened, rays of sunlight danced through the window lattices with the dust, and a breeze blew slowly, filling the yard with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Shen Yan came back from martial arts training, took off his outer shirt stained with morning dew, took the warm water Rong Shu had prepared in advance and drank it all, then said, "Rong Shu, has Madam Xiao been here?"

"Hmm." Last night's matter concerning the Madam had spread to Liyuan. It seemed that she was deliberately looking for trouble with Shen Yan today.

Rong Shu was speechless about this general's wife.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as weird.

"Rong Shu, come with me." Shen Yan looked at Rong Shu's frown, his eyes tinged with tenderness.

Rong Shu responded, and then waited for Shen Yan to get dressed before going to the lady with him.

When I arrived at Xiyuan, I saw a man and a woman sitting next to the lady. They looked very similar, dressed in gorgeous robes, and were respectful when they talked and laughed with the lady.

Behind the girl was Gu Xiaoxiao. These two people looked very similar, and Rong Shu knew without a second thought that they were Shen Yueshuang and Shen Qiuli.

"Greetings, Madam." Rong Shu and Shen Yan greeted the Madam. As Shen Yan's voice sounded, the originally warm atmosphere in the room instantly turned cold.

Shen Yueshuang and Shen Qiuli looked at Shen Yan indifferently, while Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yan with worry between her brows. If it weren't for the gloating that flashed across her eyes, one would have mistakenly thought that she was so naive.

The lady looked at Shen Yan quietly without saying a word, as if she wanted to see through him.

But he looked indifferent and unmoved.

"Madam, the ancients once said that mother and son are connected by heart, but it seems that this is not the case now..." The silence was broken by a crisp voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the maid behind Shen Yan stand up and look at the lady neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The maid was pretty and dignified. Her face was not particularly outstanding, but her eyes were particularly beautiful, clear and bright.

Shen Yueshuang and Shen Qiuli glanced at each other in tacit understanding, and then looked at the maid who suddenly spoke with interest.

Then the lady shot her a sharp look, and the nanny behind her shouted, "How dare you!"

But the maid was not afraid at all. She raised her eyes and looked at the lady seriously, "Madam, don't you think so?"

"Someone come!" Madam Xiao was startled when she saw this, and hurriedly called out in a stern voice. Before she could finish her words, she saw the young master glance at her coldly, bowed to the lady and said, "Madam, I, a maidservant, cannot bear to see me being wronged. I am too straightforward, and I apologize to you."

The implications of this statement are that the lady is wrong.

As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, he saw that the lady's face became even uglier.

"Brother, what you said is wrong. Madam is your mother..." Gu Xiaoxiao looked left and right, and when she saw that Madam had an ugly expression, she spoke.

"Madam hasn't spoken yet. When is it your turn to speak?" Shen Yueshuang usually disliked her, and now seeing her rather sarcastic tone, she couldn't help but interrupt her.

Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is still better than her.

These words made Gu Xiaoxiao's face turn pale. To put it bluntly, as the daughter of a servant, when would it be her turn to speak?

"If Madam has nothing to do, Yan'er will pay his respects." Shen Yan said calmly to Madam.

"Stop!" Madam said sternly, looking expressionlessly at her son who was taller than her. Then she took a sip of tea, gently wiped the tea stains from the corners of her lips, and said, "That maid is very sharp-tongued, and she will definitely cause trouble for you in the future. When the time comes, please ask Madam Xiao to discipline her for a while and then send her to your courtyard."

"If Madam wants to discipline someone, please train that maid first." Shen Yan was unmoved, his face indifferent, and he glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao, who sat behind Shen Yueshuang.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoxiao's lips turned pale as she looked at the lady.

"presumptuous!"

With a 'bang' sound, the lady put the teacup down with a look of anger on her face, "When did you ever let me do what I want?"

"Madam Xiao!"

"The old servant is here." Nanny Xiao responded quickly. Seeing the young master's expression, she was a little hesitant. But when she saw the lady's sharp eyes, Nanny Xiao's heart trembled.

The lady is her master.

"Someone, drag that maid away." Nanny Xiao wanted to grab Rong Shu, but saw the young master straighten his body to block her. "What are you doing, Nanny Xiao?" There was a warning in her eyes.

"If what happened today gets out, I think our ancestor will..." Shen Yan said to the lady sitting in the main seat, who was still elegant and noble.

"Heh!" Madam interrupted with a cold snort, rubbing her brows, "Yan'er, you are still a member of the General's Mansion. Don't forget, if I tell you to live, you live, and if I tell you to die, you die!"

When she called out 'Yan'er', there was a hint of tenderness between her brows, but the cold and cruel words came out from her red lips.

Rong Shu looked at the dignified and graceful woman, whose eyes showed the traces of time but still had a stunningly beautiful face, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

She looked towards Shen Yan quietly, and saw that he was slightly startled. Rong Shu quietly pulled his sleeve, and he held her hand in his backhand.

Then he pulled a smile on his lips and looked up with coldness in his eyes, "Madam is right, if there was no Madam, how could Yan'er come into being?" When he mentioned Yan'er, his pronunciation was very light, with a hint of coldness.

After hearing this, the lady was furious and directly called the servants to enforce the family rules.

Shen Yueshuang and Shen Qiuli looked at each other, and Shen Qiuli gently shook his head at his sister.

Shen Yan remained calm, his expression cold but firm: "Rong Shu, don't worry."

Although Rong Shu was anxious, he could tell from his expression that today, he no longer had any expectations for his wife.

"Beat him! Beat him until he shouts to stop!" The thick whip covered with silver thorns flashed a cold light in the sun, making people shudder.

Shen Yan knelt down in front of his wife, bowed deeply and allowed the whip to hit his body.

Shen Yan straightened up and knelt upright, his eyes full of coldness and a hint of loneliness.

The sound of the whip slapping my body and pulling my skin resounded in my ears...

When the fourth whip hit Shen Yan, he felt a warmth on his body, and no longer felt any pain. Then, Rong Shu let out a muffled groan, "Rong Shu!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you." Perhaps because he saw that Shen Yan looked a little pitiful and lonely, he rushed over to block the whip for him. This time, Rong Shu didn't have time to let the system turn off the pain sensation.

It turns out it hurts so much when you get hit on the body.

"Rong Shu, don't cry..." Shen Yan turned sideways, helped Rong Shu up so that they could look at each other at eye level, and saw tears falling from her eyes.

"I didn't cry." Rong Shu wiped her tears, looked at him distressed and shook her head, "Shen Yan, I'm sorry"

I'm sorry, I was so focused on completing the task that I didn't really pay attention to him.

Shen Yan gently wiped her tears, "Rong Shu, you don't have to say sorry to me forever"

At this time, several hurried footsteps were heard.

Then, a strong and angry voice was heard, "Du Xiyan!", and then the general was seen walking towards them with hurried steps.

"The general is here." Du Xiyan raised her eyebrows, glanced at the general, and smiled at him.

"If what you did today gets out, how will people view the general's mansion?" The general frowned when he saw Shen Yan's bloody back.

"Would I, Du Xiyan, still care about other people's faces?" Du Xiyan sneered, and then said, "General, why don't you continue to live in Qiao Ju?" Her beautiful eyebrows frowned, and then turned slightly, with thorns in her words.

"Yan'er, if you really want to talk like that..." The general sighed and said helplessly.

"Oh, when you were disgusted with your childhood, didn't you hate to settle down in Qiaoju?" The lady raised her eyebrows, followed by another round of sarcasm.

"Back then it was the ancestor..."

"Don't bring up our ancestors. I don't want to hear it." Du Xiyan listened to his excuses with impatience on her face. "If you weren't guilty at the beginning, you wouldn't have agreed to me calling him 'Yan'er'." Then she glanced at Shen Yan on the ground, and looked at the general sarcastically.

She hated Shen Aoxiao for abandoning her, and she also hated the child in her arms. If it weren't for him, Shen Aoxiao wouldn't have accepted Aunt Qiao...

After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Shen Yueshuang and Shen Qiuli beside him, "It's not like that, how could we let them be born."

Shen Yueshuang's heart tightened when she saw this, and she shuddered involuntarily and hid behind Shen Qiuli.

Du Xiyan disdained any scheming. She had given Aunt Qiao the abortion drug, but he had someone secretly replace it with the drug. This became a thorn in her heart.

Du Xiyan's almond-shaped eyes were slightly closed, the breeze blew across the corners of her eyes, her brows moved slightly, passing over the general's guilty and hesitant brows, adding some resentment.

"General, please go back!"

The general saw Shen Yan, who was beaten and bruised all over, and knew that he had been ruthless, "Madam!"

"Continue," Shen Yan said weakly with a cold look on his face.

"Are you trying to live?!" Rong Shu regretted it very much. If it weren't for what she said, he wouldn't have been like this.

"Rong Shu, what happened today is only a matter of time." Shen Yan saw her tearful eyes and knew what she was thinking.

It just happened a little earlier than he expected, but that's okay.

Only Shen Yan knows what is good.

The two men were in a stalemate, and the servant holding the whip looked at the general with his trembling hands motionless, but he saw the general's wife give him a look that made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Okay, you can go down." The general said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, I'll take my leave now..." He knelt hurriedly and threw the whip to Nanny Qiao beside him.

Rong Shu hurriedly helped the man up, but saw Shen Yan stood up and looked at the general's wife, "Madam, the ancients once said that the body and hair are given by parents, and we dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety. But I have been like an abandoned orphan since I was born. Today I will cut off my hair and break off my ties with my parents..." As he said that, he took out a dagger and cut off a few strands of hair resolutely and neatly, and then slowly stood up in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"After today, there will be no more Shen Yan in this world!"

The firm words struck everyone's heart.

Rong Shu stared at him blankly, [It seemed that the direction was different from before.]

[Ah! It's different, host, our data may need to be restarted] The system sighed helplessly.

[Must it be the same?] Rong Shu thought, it would be good to leave the General's Mansion like this. He is so outstanding that he can be very successful even without the General's Mansion.

[No, no, if we get off track like this, it will be very troublesome in the future...] As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Shu felt a whirlpool sucking her in. In a daze, she saw Shen Yan looking at her with an expression of disbelief and pain.

'Rong Shu!'
