Shen nodded, her face pale, which made people feel pity for her.
"My husband is right. I was a bit womanly. I only thought about my own children and never thought about how much manpower and resources the Shen family had wasted on Yao'er's marriage. I forgot that my mother was also sad when I married into the family, but we still had many opportunities to meet each other afterwards."
Father Shen wanted to pat her hand, but seemed to think of something, so he took his hand back and just spoke in a low voice.
"It's okay. Since you are not feeling well right now, just put aside your housekeeper duties for now and have a good rest."
Shen nodded, her face still pale.
Shen Xining smiled happily when he saw her face. Shen's pale face was probably due to excessive indulgence in sex recently, not due to any physical discomfort.
After Shen Xining returned to his room, news came from Chun Xing.
"Miss, the lady is out again, still at the same place."
Oh.
It's quite interesting.
"Where's the father?"
"The master was going to go out, but the young lady said that today is a good day, so we injured the master's horse. The master can't go to court for the time being, and he is anxious."
Shen Xining nodded.
"In that case, bring out the horse that Shen usually uses right now and help father solve his problem."
Haruyuki nodded.
When Shen Xining walked slowly out of the house, he saw Shen's father with a gloomy face.
"How did you do this? My carriage had an accident. The horse was injured and not well healed. You took it out. How am I supposed to go to court today? Recently, people outside have been eyeing the Shen family covetously. If I don't go to court at this time, I'm afraid there will be more rumors. Is there no extra carriage in the stable?"
"My lord, there was originally a carriage, but it was taken away by my lady. She said something happened in the shop downstairs, and my lady went to check it out. Now, there is really no carriage that can be used."
Mr. Shen wanted to say something and was about to lose his temper, but Shen Xining led out her horse. She bowed obediently and looked very well behaved.
"Father, this is the horse that the Fourth Prince gave me. I wanted to return it to him today, but I didn't expect to see you worried here. If you don't mind, why not use your daughter's horse?"
The groom looked at the horse with some confusion.
"Miss, isn't this the Madam's horse? It was a little tired last night, so I unloaded it. Could it be that I made a mistake when I loaded the carriage for the Madam this morning, and loaded the Fourth Prince's horse instead? This..."
"It's okay. We can change the horse back when mother comes back."
Father Shen waved his hand.
"It is more important to attend the morning court first, so I will use the Fourth Prince's horse first."
Shen Xining saluted.
"I will explain to the Fourth Prince myself. It is more important for father to go to court first."
Father Shen nodded and got into the car in a slightly panicked manner. It was obvious that he was in a hurry.
Shen Xining looked at the departing carriage, pursed her lips and smiled, and she gave instructions to Chun Xing beside her.
"But have you sent someone to tell His Majesty that father is not feeling well today and cannot attend court?"
"It's all arranged. But, young lady, after this is over, I'm afraid the master will think about it a little and realize that this is probably your doing. What will you do then?"
"It's okay. By that time, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of himself."
After Shen's father's carriage set off, the direction it was heading was getting more and more remote. When the carriage stopped, Shen's father frowned and lifted the curtain, his brows growing deeper and deeper.
"What is this place? This is not the way to the imperial court. Why are you bringing me here? I am an official appointed by the imperial court."
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. This driver has been employed by the Shen family for more than ten years. How could he really do something that would harm the Shen family
Before Mr. Shen finished his words, he had already seen the Shen family's carriage parked there.
Is this Shen’s carriage
Didn't she say she was going to look at the material in the shop? Why did Shen's carriage appear in this place
Father Shen got out of the car and walked quickly to the door of the remote but slightly stylish inn. The waiter came out to greet him.
"Sir, are you here to stay or to stay overnight? What can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for someone. Is the owner of this carriage a woman? Where is she now?"
The waiter was stunned and didn't want to tell the truth. Mr. Shen had already pushed him away and walked in quickly. As soon as he went up to the second floor, he heard a noise coming from the house. The waiter wanted to stop them, but his behavior made Mr. Shen angry, and he pushed open the door directly.
The door was wide open, and inside was a couple hugging each other tightly, naked, with their bodies even stuck tightly together. When Shen saw that the person coming was Shen's father, her face turned pale and she hurriedly pushed the man away and wanted to kneel at Shen's father's feet. But Shen's father slapped her in the face without saying a word.
"You bastard! You've been eating the dividends from my Shen family and living a life of luxury, and this is how you repay me!? This is how you repay the Shen family!? I see you really want to die...! Someone, come! Tie this bastard back to the Shen family!"
The guards behind her rushed up and tied her up. Shen was crying bitterly behind her.
"No, Master, please listen to my explanation, Master. The truth of the matter is really not like this. Please forgive me! It was all him, this man who seduced me! He threatened me that if I didn't come, he would go to the door of the Shen family and cry, causing the Shen family to be restless. I have no choice, Master, I..."
Bang!
Another clean slap in the face, Shen's father looked at Shen, his eyes showing that he wished he could kill this woman who had brought disgrace to the Shen family.
"Your brother is such a jerk. Even if he goes to the Shen family and makes a scene, so what? Is the Shen family afraid of such a scum? Do you underestimate the Shen family or treat me as a fool? Lin Feng, you have been the mistress of the Shen family for so many years, and you really haven't made any progress at all!"
"You bastard, you two are nominally siblings, but you really have no sense of shame at all. Lin Feng, you have completely disgraced the Shen family! You don't deserve to be called a member of the Shen family!"
Shen's father walked out of the inn with a grim look on his face. The servants behind him tied up Shen, put her in a sack, and took her away in the carriage. As for Lin Jiang, he was severely beaten by Shen's servants, and then the half-dead man was also put into a sack, put into the carriage and taken away.
