Chapter 111: Escape from His Clutch
Shen Yifeng looked at the mentally ill Shen Haofeng and asked the servants around him in confusion: "What happened to him? Is his brain injured?"
But Sanxi, the housekeeper of Shen Haofeng's outer house, had a swollen pig face and pointed at Shen Wen tremblingly and said nonsense: "You are not a human, you are a ghost... The ghost is coming... Catch him quickly, he is a ghost, he is here for revenge..."
Shen Yifeng looked at Shen Wen with even more curiosity.
Shen Wen was already sitting on the stone platform opposite Shen Yifeng, laughing sarcastically, "Na! You all heard it, ghosts and revenge, what does this mean? It means that the master and servant have harmed too many people, and they are haunted by ghosts in broad daylight. They are mentally unstable! Tsk tsk! God is really wise!"
Master Ji reminded Shen Yifeng, "Don't you think this person looks familiar? Her last name is also Shen. Don't you have a son named Shen Wen in your family?"
After being reminded by him, Shen Yifeng couldn't help but repeat the name over and over again.
At this time, Princess Rui and Concubine Shen had already started their long vacation.
Shen Yifeng suddenly stood up from his seat, looked at Shen Wen, then at Master Ji, and finally at Concubine Shen and said, "He... he is... is?!"
Princess Rui sighed and said to Master Ji, "My Lord, can you let us talk for a while?"
Master Ji bowed and said, "Since the princess has brought it up, I will give her this honor. But! This Shen Wen! The princess had better explain to me one or two. Why did you treat your own flesh and blood as a spy and keep it in my Ji family for so many years? What exactly do you, the Shen family, want to do?"
Concubine Shen smiled bitterly and said, "How could this be possible? My seventeenth brother disappeared inexplicably that year. His missing person notice was filed in the government office at that time. You can check it out, and you will know it is true at a glance."
Didn't Chu Yanqiu know what was going on when he heard this? He closed the fan he had opened in an instant, his face as dark as the sea.
Master Ji walked over, grabbed Chu Yanqiu's robe, and whispered to his nephew: "Let's talk about this downstairs..." Then he immediately retreated with him.
Ji Ziyin and Ji Zichu were also taken away by the housekeeper. The rest of the servants followed their masters.
Concubine Shen quickly came to Shen Wen's side affectionately, and wiped the marks on her face with a distressed look while smiling: "Brother, you won't be afraid this time, right? Don't be afraid! No one can hit you with Seventh Sister here." Shen Wen impatiently avoided her touch, but Concubine Shen was still surprised and asked: "Hey? Are the marks on your face caused by pinching? No matter how hard you try, they won't come off?" Shen Wen pushed her away and said: "Oh! Go away! How much perfume powder did you put on? I'm about to sneeze."
On the other hand, Princess Rui, Shen Shuyuan, was like a statue of a Bodhisattva, sitting in her seat, looking away indifferently, without any expression.
Shen Yifeng was still immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It vaguely remembered that when he left ten years ago, the seventeenth brother named Shen Wen was only that old, as small as a small carrot. That child was pure and cute, always staring at the world with a pair of cute big eyes, like a blank sheet of paper.
But? But!
Seeing him again now?
She is neither male nor female, and she actually clings to men in a servile manner to survive.
Oh my God!
He couldn't help but glance at his seventeenth brother again.
The figure is protruding where it should be protruding and soft where it should be soft.
After just one glance, he dared not look again.
He couldn't imagine what kind of experience could turn a man into this state?
Shen Yifeng could no longer sit still, so he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.
Shen Shuchan said to Shen Wen distressedly: "Brother, you must be suffering here. It's all my fault that I didn't come to pick you up earlier. Now that we meet today, I will take you away from this dangerous place no matter what."
Shen Shuyuan also said: "Now that things have come to this, what are your plans, Seventeenth Brother?"
Shen Wen sighed and said, "Oh! Now the sisters should be satisfied. I'm afraid this place can't accommodate me. I'm miserable. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to even beg for food on the street. There is no place for me in this world!"
Shen Shuchan said: "How could that be? You are the grandson of Duke Shen's mansion, why would you say such a thing?" As she spoke, she pouted her cute little lips and gently wiped Shen Wen's face.
Shen Wen was helpless and had to let her go.
When she stopped moving, Shen Wen said, "Sister, have you forgotten? Who did I hit just now? I hit him hard. Will the old man forgive me? Or will Shen Haofeng, his father, forgive me? Even if they can pass those two levels, will our father stop? You don't know our father's stubborn temper. If you and I make a move, he would beat us half to death and then throw us out to be dealt with by others."
Shen Shuchan sneered after hearing these words.
Shen Wen looked at Shen Shuyuan again and said, "Tell me! Why do you two sisters want me to return to the Shen Mansion? Do you want my life? Do you think that dying in the Ji Mansion will bring shame to the Shen family, so you must bring me back to the Shen family and execute me?"
Shen Shuyuan said: "Seventeenth brother, you misunderstood. I really think it is a good thing for you to leave the Ji family. The Ji family is not a place for you to stay."
Shen Wen said, "Fifth sister, I remember when I was a kid in the Shen Mansion, you did a lot of harm to me. Do you still remember what you said? You said you could make me die ugly just by moving your little finger!"
Shen Shuchan rolled her eyes at Shen Shuyuan and said, "I told you not to get involved, but you insisted on meddling in other people's business. Do you think you are a good person?"
Then she smiled at Shen Wen and said, "Don't be afraid of her, brother. She is now a married woman and has no say in the Shen family's affairs. As for the concerns you mentioned, don't worry. I will take care of everything for you. I can guarantee that when you go back, no one can hurt you. Shen Haofeng is nothing."
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Oh! Are you so confident? Sister, can you be the master of the old man? Sister...you are also a married lady."
Shen Shuchan was choked by what was said and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Shen Wen said, "Alas! I think we should just forget it. What about you guys... hurry back to your prince's mansion. Don't worry about my affairs. Things will work out when the time comes. I know how things will develop. Let's go."
Shen Shuchan's mouth and eyes twitched in anxiety, and she didn't know where to put her tender little hands.
Shen Shuyuan was still gentle and calm. She said calmly, "Seventeenth brother! You probably don't know. You also have a maternal family. Do you know where your mother's maternal family is?"
After saying this, Shen Wen looked at Shen Shuyuan, and she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, when the conversation reached the crucial moment, Young Master Ji and Chu Yanqiu came back suddenly. Both of them looked unhappy and looked at Shen Wen with gritted teeth.
After the two of them bowed to Shen Shuyuan, Chu Yanqiu said, "Princess, please move to the front yard. The prince is already waiting. As for the matter of the seventeenth son of your Shen family, our marquis and your family will decide. There will be a conclusion in an hour. Please abide by the rules."
Shen Shuyuan put down the teacup in her hand, stood up with the help of the maid, straightened her dress, glanced at Shen Wen and said nothing, then left. Seeing this, Concubine Shen had no choice but to follow her and leave.
Chu Yanqiu looked at Shen Wen.
Shen Wen sat on the chair and looked over with a hint of mockery on his face.
Ji Ziyin sat silently on the stone platform not far from her. He said in a low voice: "You never told me about this..."
Shen Wen glanced at Chu Yanqiu and turned away.
Shen Wen looked into the distance, her expression vague. She said, "You know the rules of the Shen family. They are weaker than fists when dealing with outsiders, so they just use their mouths. When dealing with family members... especially illegitimate children like us, they want to use all kinds of sticks. I have made a mistake and will never go back to that family. I wanted to live a miserable life with you. But... you, General Ji, are not here to protect me! But now it is no longer necessary. I am a hungry ghost that the King of Hell will not accept. What Shen family and Ji family? If you have the ability, go and fight the King of Hell. It is their ability to send me to hell!"
Ji Ziyin had a bitter taste in his mouth. He wanted to say that he had always been willing to protect him, but looking back, he failed to protect him after all.
Chu Yanqiu sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the Seventeenth Young Master was quite cunning. He has been living peacefully in the Ji Mansion for so many years. How convincing can such a high-sounding explanation be?"
Shen Wen looked at him, and then her eyes met his. The mockery in her eyes became even stronger. She said, "Then what do you think I should say? You don't believe me when I tell you the truth, so what if I tell you a lie? Okay! What I said before was all false, but... didn't you, Lord Chu, also lie to deceive people? Lord Chu, are you very angry? I can't hold you in my hand anymore. I told you a long time ago that letting me go would be good for your family, but you just wouldn't listen."
Chu Yanqiu's eyes were icy cold, like the light emitted by a poisonous sword.
Shen Wen stood up, dusted himself off and said, "Okay, stop wasting time. I'm leaving now."
Life is really like a dream. When this truth is applied to Shen Wen, it becomes even more colorful.
Looking at Shen Wen's thin back, it seemed that I could barely remember his name in my mind, and that moment was enough, but it disappeared quietly. Now, this person and this name have been deeply imprinted in my mind and heart.
Ji Ziyan's eyes were moist, but he couldn't keep her after all. Did his departure mean that he would be alone for the rest of his life?
Chu Yanqiu felt that this woman was becoming more and more interesting.
He had a somewhat amused sneer on his face, which turned into a mockery: Shen family? Ten years ago, they were still a rival, but now! You little bastard! I was almost fooled by your provocation, let's wait and see.
