"Snapped!"
The crisp slap sounded particularly harsh in the courtyard that fell silent for a moment.
The picture freezes.
Shen Wanjun stood not far away, looking at the two siblings with slightly frowned brows, but did not say much.
Shen Liang's fair and white cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the clear slap marks were always exuding a burning pain. It is not difficult to feel that Shen Chuyao's slap in the face definitely did not take into account the slightest affection between his siblings. .
As for Shen Chuyao.
There was no trace of regret on her face, as if the angle and force of the attack were the results she had expected from the beginning.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Shen Liang's dull eyes suddenly became alert, and then without any explanation, he grabbed Shen Chuyao's white and tender hands.
"Oh, second sister, you told me you were going to slap me, just call a few servants to do it for you. Why do it yourself? What if it hurts you? Come on, let my brother blow, huh~huh~"
Shen Liang held Shen Chuyao's jade hand to his mouth and blew hot air into her palm with small mouthfuls.
Shen Chuyao allowed him to do this, and only took a few breaths to pull her hand back.
"okay."
Shen Liangjian gave a swishy smile and moved the other side of his face that was not spanked.
"Second sister, please don't be angry, okay? If you still don't feel relieved, just give me another slap, so that the two sides will be balanced."
Shen Chuyao finally no longer looked so indifferent that she wouldn't let strangers enter. She glared at Shen Liang, snorted softly, and walked back to the meeting hall.
Shen Liang took a wrong step back, and the cat came to Shen Wanjun's side and whispered:
"Does this mean... you're not angry anymore?"
Thinking of the sword marks on his daughter's neck and the slap marks on his son's face, Shen Wanjun's palms and backs hurt so much that he was not in the mood to argue with them.
"You're fine, now it's dad's turn to be in trouble!"
Saying that, Shen Wanjun followed her in with a quick stride. After finishing, he collected a clean handkerchief in the hall and walked to Shen Chuyao like Zhang Fei's needlework, carefully wiping the blood from her neck.
"You girl, if you have any problems with your family, you just need to make it clear. Why do you have to see blood?"
Shen Chuyao was not yet ready to forgive Shen Wanjun, so she grabbed the handkerchief and refused.
After Shen Liang entered the door, Shen Chuyao resumed her queenly posture and taught Shen Liang a lesson in a low voice:
"Do you know why I gave you this slap?"
"Know."
Shen Liang pretended to be as pitiful as possible.
"I was too careless and made you worried, second sister, and made you have to rush home all the way. You must not have slept well these past few nights, right? If this makes the second sister's beautiful appearance even half rough, I will He becomes a huge sinner."
Shen Chuyao frowned, obviously this was not the answer she wanted to hear.
"How dare you talk so much?"
Afraid that Shen Chuyao would pull her outside again to play with her heartbeat, Shen Liang hurriedly waved her hands and said:
"It's wrong, it's wrong! Second sister, whatever you say is yours, I will punish you however you want!"
Shen Chuyao took a deep breath and let it out.
After calming down her restless mood, she calmly said:
"Chu Qi has already brought the news back to Zhongzhou about your crown test and crown ceremony. I believe that in a short time, everyone in the world will know that you are not as useless as you appear, and my father's throne will surpass that of my eldest brother. , will be handed over to you instead.”
"what does that mean?"
"It means that those gangsters who were feared by me in recent years will come to Jinzhou to kill you again regardless of the consequences!"
"Yes, dad has buried enough chess pieces, the royal eagles and dogs are strange and dark, and the 800,000 Shen family troops are strong and ferocious. Now it seems that you are not idle on weekdays. You have indeed tinkered with a few things that can scream A life-saving means that ordinary people admire with admiration."
"But what's the result?"
"The result is that you were almost killed by a wandering cultivator from the Four Symbol Realm right in front of your home!"
"You said you died, what should you do to your father, what to do to your mother who is under the Nine Springs, what to do to your eldest brother and Shen Mohuan, what to do to me, what to do to those people who have used their lives to maintain the status of the Shen family in the past, present and future manage?!"
"I'm telling you Shen Liang."
"From the moment you took your first bite of rice from the Shen family and spent the first coin from the Shen family, it was destined that your life was not just yours. Do you understand?!"
The more Shen Chuyao spoke, the higher her pitch became and the more excited she became. It was not difficult to see that she was really angry this time, because in Shen Liang's memory, the cold and stubborn second sister had never vented her anger so obviously.
After being surprised, Shen Liang fell silent, without any playful smile anymore.
"Second sister, I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, I will put my own safety first."
Shen Chuyao, who quickly calmed down after receiving Shen Liang's assurance, waved her hands and said:
"You go out first, I want to talk to dad alone."
"good."
Shen Liang left obediently, leaving only the father and daughter alone in the hall.
After Shen Liang left and the door closed, Shen Chuyao immediately stood up from the chair, walked around the desk, and asked Shen Wanjun to take a seat.
"Dad, sit down."
Looking at this posture, it was clear that his daughter was going to be serious. Shen Wanjun knew that there was no way to avoid disaster, so he silently walked to the desk and sat down.
"Chu Yao, you don't need to waste your time. Dad has all the tricks."
"First of all, with my father's temperament, it is definitely impossible for your brother to get into trouble under my nose. Even though no assassins have infiltrated Jincheng for many years, I have never been slack in protecting your brother."
"I won't go into detail about the chess pieces that were used to protect your brother, either overtly or covertly. I can only say that from the moment the umbrella holder and the dwarf stepped into Jincheng, I knew their whereabouts. and intention.”
"When they attack your brother, my chess piece is 100% sure to kill them first, but my order is to stand still and wait for Mr. Qian to take action. If your brother is about to die and Mr. Qian has not made a move, they can Show up and help.”
"Secondly, even without the chess pieces I placed beside your brother in advance, with Qian Lao's ability, I would be able to rush to your brother's side to rescue him in the shortest time after the incident."
"But what I expected is that when the umbrella holder broke your brother's arms, Mr. Qian also didn't take action. He just made the final decision at the last critical moment."
After hearing an explanation that was similar to her own speculation, Shen Chuyao directly asked about her doubts.
"I don't understand why you and Mr. Qian must injure Shen Liang. Do you want to hone his ability to endure pain, or take the opportunity to sound the alarm and let him know that in his current situation, he must constantly improve his ability to deal with danger? OK?"
Shen Wanjun shook his head solemnly.
"neither."
"I'm betting that I won't want your brother to be a useless person with nine palaces blocked forever, and then let him take the initiative to ask me to find a way to help your brother change his destiny."
"It turns out that my bet was right. Counting the time, he should have arrived at the place where Phoenix Essence is."
