If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Shen Siyi and her brother were invited to the flower hall.

She stood by the door and craned her neck to try to see Lu Yuan, but the maid blocked her view.

There is not even a shadow of the corner to be seen.

Things were completely different from what she had imagined.

Although she knew that Shen Suian would not let them stay, as long as her father made trouble, Shen Suian would definitely compromise. Who would have thought that it would be Lu Yuan who would directly chase them away.

But no one can say that Lu Yuan treated his father-in-law badly.

Shen Siyi didn't want to go anywhere else. She just wanted to stay in the palace and see Lu Yuan day and night.

"I heard that your princess has just finished her confinement. So...how many concubines and maids are there in the palace?" Shen Siyi asked the maid in a low voice.

Since Shen Suian couldn't serve Lu Yuan when she was pregnant, she would definitely take a concubine or a maid for Lu Yuan.

The little maid who was being questioned looked at Shen Siyi with disbelief.

Is this person really the princess’ sister?

He actually asked about what was going on in his sister's room so openly. I'm afraid all his thoughts were written on his face.

"The prince and the princess treat each other with respect and have a deep affection for each other. There are not so many messy people in the palace." The little maid said coldly.

This incomprehensible woman in front of me is just a mess.

Shen Siyi's heart skipped a beat. How could Lu Yuan resist taking a concubine?

She doesn't believe it.

Even if he didn't take a concubine, he must have secretly kept a mistress outside.

Otherwise, considering his young age and the fact that he practices martial arts, how could he bear it?

"Sister, I advise you not to provoke Shen Suian." Shen Mingyao said in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? You hated her to the core before, but now you want to enhance her prestige and destroy my ambition." Shen Siyi said angrily.

Shen Mingyao looked down at his hands. His hands had distinct joints and long, beautiful fingers, but now he didn't even have the strength to hold a pen.

It was Shen Suian who had his hand crippled.

He wanted Shen Sui'an to die more than anyone else.

But he also knew that they were no match for Shen Sui'an now.

Her father wanted to use his status and position to suppress her, but that was simply impossible. If Shen Suian had any family affection in her heart, she would not have destroyed his hands.

"Let's also kowtow and pay our respects to our grandparents," said Shen Siyi.

Shen Mingyao's eyes were sinister. He didn't want to see those two old guys at all.

"Let's go." Shen Siyi held Shen Mingyao's hand.

Before they reached the Chuihua Gate, they saw Shen Jianglin coming out with a dark face.

Walking behind Shen Jianglin was Jiang.

Shen Mingyao's eyes instantly seemed to be poisoned as he stared straight at Jiang.

Jiang sneered with contempt and looked at Shen Mingyao's hands wantonly.

"Evil woman!" Shen Mingyao's mind collapsed, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Brother Yao, shut up." Shen Jianglin scolded in shock.

It was the first time he saw his son looking so ferocious. Did Yao Ge’er really hate his stepmother so much?

Shen Mingyao raised his hands, "Father, if it weren't for them, my hands wouldn't be crippled."

Jiang sneered, "Why was your hand crippled? Don't you know? A man who wanted to kill my brother only crippled your hand. It was a bargain for you."

"You..." Shen Mingyao was like a trapped beast, with his nostrils flaring, wanting to pounce on Jiang and bite her.

"Since you still don't repent, break your legs as well." Shen Sui'an's voice came coldly from behind them.

Shen Mingyao's body stiffened, and reason returned to his brain in an instant. He turned around with a pale face.

Shen Sui'an and Fu Jinyuan stood side by side not far away, looking at him coldly.

A strong sense of fear surged in his heart, and he subconsciously hid behind Shen Jianglin.

"Why are you trying to scare him? He's still a child." Shen Jianglin frowned unhappily.

"He's so vicious as a child. What will he be like when he grows up?" Shen Suian raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't know how to teach your son, someone else will have to teach him for you in the future."

Shen Mingyao grabbed Shen Jianglin's sleeve and said, "Father, let's go quickly. I don't want to live here."

"Sister, Yao Ge'er did something wrong. You can scold him however you want, but why did you cripple his hand so viciously? Do you know that you have ruined his life?" Shen Siyi's eyes were filled with tears, like a delicate little flower wet by the spring rain. Although she was questioning Shen Suian, her eyes couldn't help but look at Fu Jinyuan.

Fu Jinyuan held Shen Sui'an's waist with one hand, "You really shouldn't have crippled his hands."

Shen Siyi's eyes lit up slightly.

Fu Jinyuan continued, "We should just kill him and eliminate the trouble forever."

"..."

"..." Shen Jianglin's face turned pale. In front of him, Lu Yuan said he wanted to kill his son. Was he serious about this?

Shen Mingyao was even more afraid of Fu Jinyuan in front of him. He knew that this man was cruel and ruthless and would really kill him.

"Father-in-law, the house is ready. I will have someone take you to rest." Fu Jinyuan did not think that his words had cast a heavy shadow on the three of them, and his expression was still indifferent.

"Madam, please come with us." Shen Jianglin looked at Jiang.

Jiang resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Even if you want to leave, this isn't the time."

Shen Sui'an said calmly, "I just came out of confinement, and I need my mother to take care of me. Let's talk about it after some time."

"Okay, okay." Shen Jianglin also knew that it would be difficult to achieve his goal today.

It’s better to settle down first and then plan slowly later.

Shen Sui'an's eyes were filled with impatience. She said to Fu Jinyuan, "Find a way to get them back to Kyoto City."

Fu Jinyuan comforted her, "Let me take care of their affairs, don't worry about it."

"I originally wanted to go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother today." Shen Sui'an said.

Not only did she miss the time because of the arrival of Shen Jianglin and others, but she was also feeling angry. It would be bad for her to enter the palace like this.

"Let's go tomorrow. Mother won't mind." Fu Jinyuan said.

Shen Sui'an let out a breath of foul air.

"Mother, don't pay attention to them. You and grandparents should just live here peacefully." Shen Sui'an said.

However, Jiang felt that Shen Jianglin would not be so easy to get rid of.

"Don't be angry. With me and the old man here, he can't cause any trouble." Jiang comforted Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an hadn't seen Fu Jinyuan for a few days and she missed him. She didn't want her mood to be affected by Shen Jianglin and his two sons.

He and Fu Jinyuan returned to the upper room and asked the wet nurse to bring Chao Ge'er over.

"Wait until the weather gets warmer, then bring Chao Ge'er to the palace to pay respects to mother." Shen Sui'an looked at his son tenderly.

She knew that her mother in the palace must be eager to see her little grandson.

"Okay." Fu Jinyuan really wanted to hug his son, but his fingers were rough and he was afraid of scratching his son's tender skin.

Shen Sui'an held his son and gently placed him in his arms, "You've been busy with the Pacification Office and haven't held your son properly."

Fu Jinyuan's whole body froze, "I...I'm afraid of hurting him."

"You'll get familiar with it if you hug me more." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.
