"Father, people's hearts are fickle." Shen Xihe's hand gently rested on Shen Yueshan's shoulder.
Shen Xihe's words that people's hearts are fickle made Xiao Huayong hesitate.
Well, there was one more person who made her feel that there was no chance of a lasting relationship.
Look at Geng Liangcheng and Shen Yueshan, they have been together since they were young, grew up together, went to the battlefield together, protected the people together, killed the enemies together, and achieved success together, but in the end, they turned against each other because of power.
His face fell, and Shen Xihe couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled when she saw him.
Xiao Huayong lowered his eyes and drank his soup, falling into the mode of holding a grudge against Geng Liangcheng, and did not notice the fleeting smile of Shen Xihe.
He couldn't refute Shen Xihe's point because there were too many feelings between them, which had led them from being loyal to death to fighting each other because of interests and power.
"If my father-in-law delays showing up for a few more days, maybe..." Xiao Huayong wanted to root out this annoying traitor as soon as possible, "I can lure him out by faking my own death."
"Fake your death?" Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong, "How do you fake your death?"
"Find a corpse and pretend to be father-in-law." Xiao Huayong said.
"Where can we find the body?" Shen Xihe asked again.
With Shen Yueshan's size, it would be hard to find him, let alone a corpse? The corpse thief couldn't be nearby, otherwise it would be hard to trap Geng Liangcheng, the old fox.
Xiao Huayong glanced at Shen Xihe and said, "I missed it."
Omission
Shen Xihe never thought that Xiao Huayong would make a mistake. She knew that he just wanted to find someone of similar stature to Shen Yueshan and kill him, and then disguise himself as Shen Yueshan.
In the eyes of these people, such means are frivolous. Shen Xihe does not deny that it is just the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.
But she doesn't like it, and she doesn't like the people around her to be like this.
Xiao Huayong said it, and after hearing her question, he realized that she was different from those high-ranking nobles. She was not compassionate, but she also did not regard human life as worthless.
She would not save a victim for no reason, nor would she harm an innocent person for no reason.
That's why he changed his words.
"Let me think about it." Shen Yueshan pondered for a moment and then changed the subject, "Eat meat, eat meat."
Xiao Huayong sliced the roasted meat with a dagger and placed it in a coarse porcelain bowl. They ate the roasted meat with soup with vegetables.
After dinner, the two chatted with Shen Yueshan for some other things. The couple left together when they saw night fall.
"Yo Yo..." Walking in the scattered moonlight, Xiao Huayong walked to the yard where they lived, and couldn't help but speak, "I..."
Shen Xihe turned his head and looked at him quietly, but he seemed to not know how to start. Shen Xihe sighed softly: "Your Highness, you and I are two people. Even if we are of the same mind, we may have different thoughts and ideas. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's wrong. Just because I won't do it doesn't mean I will hate it if others do it."
Geng Liangcheng's matter has already involved Shen Yueshan's life and the foundation of the Shen family. Shen Xihe did not like Xiao Huayong's proposal, but had to admit that it was an excellent idea considering the interests of the Shen family and Shen Yueshan's current situation.
