Shen Cang stared at the scene in the room in amazement, his jaw almost dropping.

He thought he was hallucinating.

how can that be possible? !

How could there be a man in the room of Shen Qiyin's unmarried daughter in the dead of night?

And the two of them behaved so intimately!

More importantly, that man was actually the dreaded commander of the Thousand Eagle Guards!

Shen Cang rubbed his eyes hard, still unable to believe that what he saw was real.

It was not until the cold night wind hit him and gave him goose bumps that he finally came to his senses from the shock and forced himself to accept this psychedelic scene.

Besides, although Shen Qiyin's vision was blocked, her ears were not blocked, so she clearly heard the "bang" and also felt the cold wind blowing in from the door.

So she turned her head slightly and asked the person next to her: "Is the door open?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan responded casually.

He sat a little bit behind Shen Qiyin, his left hand went around her left side and covered her eyes, while his other forearm was casually resting on the table.

His whole body was in a restrained posture, holding Shen Qiyin in his arms.

His chin rested lightly on her shoulder, and he tilted his head slightly to look at her.

He said, “The wind blew.”

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Cang.

His dark eyes were dark and filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Shen Cang's heart trembled.

All the anger and hatred had disappeared at this moment. When he left Haitang Courtyard, he was left with only fear and panic.

Fortunately, he remembered to close the door when he left.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan would probably really cut his neck with a sword.

Xiao Yan hid the murderous aura in his eyes, took back his hand from Shen Qiyin's eyes, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"

Shen Qiyin lowered his eyes and saw a purple pansy on the table. At the center of the flower was a silver butterfly ring, which was exquisitely shaped and lifelike.

It was beautiful, but compared to the things Xiao Yan had given her before, it seemed nothing special.

Shen Qiyin didn't dislike it, he just felt that it was not like his style.

So he asked, "Just the ring?"

Xiao Yan seemed to smile, then picked up the ring and put it on her index finger.

Shen Qiyuin was very puzzled, thinking that she had seen other girls wear rings on their middle fingers or ring fingers, so why did he choose this one?

Then Xiao Yan pinched her thumb and pressed the side of the ring, and a streak of light shot straight into the pansy.

But in the blink of an eye, the petals withered instantly.

"This, this ring..."

"Yes, it's the same as the sachet ball. It's also a hidden weapon."

“……”That’s right.

She said it was unlikely that he would just give her a beautiful ring.

But then again, why did he always give her things that could kill people? Did he think she was some kind of lunatic with a dark mind who wanted to kill everyone in the world at any time?

In response to Shen Qiyin's question, Xiao Yan replied: "Of course not."

But, yeah he is.

The last time she was suddenly summoned to the palace, he became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, so he ordered someone to make this ring.

"Although you already know all about the secret agents in the palace, those people are just means of survival. Only you, yourself, are the real way out."

Unlike Honeysuckle, she did not have the innate advantage of being able to practice martial arts, so he could only help her prepare things to protect herself as much as possible.

For example, hidden weapons.

For example, connections.

For example, power.

Shen Qiyin looked at Xiao Yan and frowned her delicate eyebrows. She suddenly felt that she couldn't understand him.

She originally thought that he said he wanted to marry her because he wanted to have romance with her and spend time with her every day, but now it seems that there is more to it than that.

He was like someone who was carefully nurturing a flower, instead of just nourishing her in a greenhouse.

He would not prevent her from facing the cold wind and rain, he would only teach her the courage and means to face the harsh wind and frost.

He didn't pluck the flower.

Of course, he doesn't pick them, and he doesn't let others pick them.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiyin asked Xiao Yan as if to confirm: "Aren't you also my escape route?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I am naturally very happy that Yinyin is willing to treat me as your retreat, but it is also normal if you still cannot completely trust me now."

"Besides, I think it's not a bad thing to be on guard at all times."

Especially women.

especially……

A girl like her, who has been schemed against by her family to the extreme.

After hearing this, Shen Qiyin did not feel sorry for himself, but instead drew inferences from it and said, "So, you have always been on guard against me?"

"No." Xiao Yan answered very straightforwardly: "I don't need to be on guard against Yin Yin."

"why?"

She thought Xiao Yan would say something like "Because I like you, I believe you", but the prince replied in a sweet voice, "Because there is nothing to be on guard against."

Shen Qiyin: "..." Is it an insult? Right? It must be an insult, right?

She stretched out the finger with the ring on it and said calmly, "Look at the ring in my hand and say it again."

Xiao Yan looked at her obediently for a while, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Shen Qiyin was stunned.

The butterfly wings on the ring fluttered.

Just like her heart.

Xiao Yan didn't do it deliberately, he just kissed her fingertips out of sheer infatuation. He felt a little embarrassed after kissing her, so he cleared his throat and changed the subject, "The door just opened, it was Shen Cang who came."

"…Then why are you telling me now?"

"Because it's not important." After a pause, he asked her again: "Is it important?"

Shen Qiyin pursed her lips and said, "Okay, it really doesn't matter."

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and it was indeed shocking for her to be in the same room with a man, but this was not the only rebellious thing she did!

She was just curious, why did he look for her so late at night?

It was not until the next day that Shen Qiyin learned that Shen Guangzong had caused Jiang Wan to have a miscarriage.

Jiang Wan’s pregnancy was all fake, and her miscarriage was naturally fake as well.

In fact, after taking fake pregnancy drugs, the pregnancy pulse can only last for the first three months. After three months, the pregnancy pulse will disappear.

But Jiang Wan obviously didn't want to wait until that time.

So she sent her maid to the clinic to ask if there was any medicine that could make her pulse look like that of a normal person.

Only in this way can she avoid being exposed when pretending to have a miscarriage.

This medicine was originally developed by Sanwa. Since purple scale grass is a poison, there must be an antidote.

So, Shen Qiyin manipulated the situation behind the scenes and delivered the antidote to Jiang Wan.

In order to prove that Shen Guangzong had harmed her, the latter even bribed the servants around Shen Guangzong with money.

In order to avoid Shen Cang finding out something wrong, she found an excuse last night and did not let him stay in her room overnight.

After much effort, they finally managed to pour the basin of dirty water on Shen Guangzong's head, and also involved Shen Qiyin.

But Jiang Wan never expected that Shen Cang went there in a rage, but when he came back, he had calmed down!

Apart from beating Shen Guangzong up, he did nothing else.

Even though her miscarriage was fake, in Shen Cang's eyes, their child was truly gone. How could he just let it go?!

Jiang Wan took so much trouble to set up the plan, how could he be willing to do this?

Therefore, early this morning, she cried and wanted to leave. When facing Shen Cang, she said: "If the eldest master can kill our child once, he will do it a second time."

"I've experienced the pain of losing a child once, and if it happens again, you might as well just kill me."

"So, please show some mercy and let me go."

There was no way Shen Cang would agree to that.

He quickly helped Jiang Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We will have children in the future."

"Oh." Jiang Wan's smile was very sad: "Another child? Will the eldest master kill him?"

"Mrs. Wan..."

"My husband, I consider him your son, and not asking him to die is the most I can do. What else do you want from me?" She looked heartbroken. "If you keep me in this house, will you never let me get close to you in the future? What's the difference between that and asking me to stay away?"

She said this with such deep emotion that Shen Cang was deeply moved.

First of all, he really didn't want Jiang Wan to leave.

Secondly, he was hoping that Jiang Wan would give him another son in the future.

But Jiang Wan and Shen Guangzong obviously could not stay in this house together, and in the end, he drove Shen Guangzong out.

He rented him an old house in the alley at the edge of West Street in the city, under the pretext that it was a place for him to recuperate and calm his mind so that he wouldn't have any thoughts of harming others again.

After hearing this, Old Madam Shen had a big fuss and became sick with anger.

Shen Cang said that he was also sick and asked Shen Qiyin to go and see her.

At first Shen Qiyin thought he was making excuses, but later he learned from his servants that he really had caught a cold.

When Xiao Yan left that night, he went to Shen Cang's room on purpose. He didn't do anything else but just kicked the door open like the other person did.

Of course, it's not just the door.

The windows were also broken.

And another difference is that the door that Shen Cang kicked open can be closed again afterwards.

The door that Xiao Yan kicked open fell to the ground with water.

Shen Cang was frightened and then hit by the cold wind, so he naturally fell ill.

Xianglan thought, wouldn’t this be a good opportunity to “take advantage of your illness to kill you”?

So he asked Shen Qiyin excitedly: "Miss, what should we do next?"

"Hmm..." Shen Qiyin thought for a moment and said, "Wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting to die."

Xianglan was stunned.

After a long while, she frowned and said, "Waiting for the master to die by himself, isn't that a little too slow?"

"Yes, it's a bit slow, but I'm not referring to him, but Shen Guangzong."

When he was still in this house, Jiang Wan was able to plot against him right under Shen Cang's nose. What's more, now that he is out of Shen Cang's sight, there is no way Jiang Wan will leave him any chance of survival.

Only if he died, no one would compete with Jia Lan for everything in this family.

This is exactly what Jiang Wan was thinking!

Sure enough, Shen Qiyin's prediction was correct. Within a few days, Shen Guangzong was dead.

Literally "cool".

He was frozen to death.

He was angry when he was sent out of the Shen family that day, and fell ill when he got there. The one who followed him to serve him was a servant newly sent by Shen Cang.

On one side is the moody eldest son who was kicked out of the house.

On one side is the concubine who was given money and had a high chance of being promoted to the principal wife.

It’s easy to guess who the servant will choose.

Given Shen Guangzong's physique at the time, he didn't even need to do anything deliberately. He could just ignore it and let him stay in the room.

When he reported the death, he said, "On my way to get medicine for the young master, I accidentally tripped and hit my head. I was unconscious for most of the day before I woke up. When I returned, I found that the eldest young master was useless."

But the truth was, he had treated Shen Guangzong coldly the night before, not giving him charcoal, and leaving the doors and windows gaps.

Shen Cang, who was in good health, fell ill just by being blown by the wind. What's more, Shen Guangzong was already ill. It would be strange if he didn't feel cold after being blown by the cold wind all night.

Only after his son died did Shen Cang remember to be a kind father.

She cried as if her father had died.

In front of the mourning hall, he howled loudly.

Jiang Wan also advised with a sad face: "The dead cannot be resurrected, sir, please mourn and take care of yourself."

"If I had known it would get to this point, when my husband wanted to kick the eldest son out, I would have stopped him even if I had to risk my life."

"But I thought at the time that even if he left, it wouldn't matter. After all, he is my husband's son and the eldest son of this family. The second young lady often travels outside and can take care of him all the time. I didn't expect that..."

Upon hearing this, Xianglan suddenly looked up at her, wondering if she lived in Dongting Lake? How could she raise such a Biluochun!

What she meant was that Shen Guangzong's death was also related to Shen Qiyin's lack of brotherly love.

She knew Shen Cang too well.

Shen Guangzong died, and he felt a little guilty, but not much.

So now she helped him find a ready-made excuse, allowing him to successfully blame Shen Guangzong's death on Shen Qiyin, and he went along with it without thinking.

Shen Cang suddenly stood up, pointed at Shen Qiyin and angrily accused him: "Tell me! Have you ever visited your eldest brother during the time he was away from home?"

Xianglan frowned and wanted to punch him when she saw his crazy look.

Shen Qiyin casually threw a handful of paper money into the brazier. The flames suddenly shot up very high, frightening Shen Cang so much that he took a big step back.

She waved her hands and asked him expressionlessly, "Did father go there?"

"I..." He was speechless for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "I'm sick!"

"It's not like he's dead."

"presumptuous!"

Shen Cang suddenly raised his hand, as if he was going to slap Shen Qiyin.

But for some reason, it didn't fall down.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan hurriedly said, "Hey, Second Miss, it's already this late, don't make the master angry."

"The eldest son passed away suddenly, and everyone is sad. Now is the time for the family to get through this together. How can you still speak so tactlessly as usual?"

"Auntie, you really know your limits. Your father wanted to kick you out the day before, but you got pregnant the next day. You really know your limits."

After hearing this, Jiang Wan's face turned pale instantly!
