This was the first time in so many years that King Dingnan slapped Wen Yuan. The slap came so unexpectedly that even Wen Yuan did not expect that his father would hit him.
So she didn't react and received the slap firmly.
The two brothers quickly stopped in front of Wen Yuan, "Father, how could you hit A Yuan..."
Wen Yuan covered her face and couldn't believe that her father would treat her like this.
She ran back to her yard with tears in her eyes. Shen Huaiyan's heart clenched when he saw this scene, "What's going on? Why are you crying like this?"
After seeing the palm prints on Wen Yuan's face, he was thoughtful, but soon his reason was still taken over by anger, "That woman hit you?"
Seeing that Wen Yuan didn't speak, Shen Huaiyan rushed out with a sullen face, but at this time Wen Yuan grabbed his clothes, "It's not her, it's..."
Wen Yuan hesitated and couldn't speak, so Shen Huaiyan took her back to the room to comfort her, "What other secrets do you and I have? Who is it if it's not her?"
"It's my father..." Wen Yuan sat down behind the desk with his head downcast, "I really can't believe that my father would do something to me... This woman has simply changed him into a different person."
"Any clues about her identity?"
Shen Huaiyan asked the most critical question, but the whole thing made Wen Yuan feel that it was not that simple.
Because this woman's life experience is so clean that it makes people suspicious.
She shook her head with frustration on her face, "No... no news at all. It's so strange."
"Maybe it's just not available now. Let's wait. Maybe it will be soon."
Wen Yuan silently leaned on Shen Huaiyan's shoulder and cried, "Father has never hit me... Even if my mother was angry with me in the past, he has always been on my side, but this time he actually did it for me. A group of outsiders beat me.”
At this time, he was regretting it in King Dingnan's room. He looked at his trembling hands and recalled what he had done. "Why did you think I beat her? I have always been strict with my children. Only Ah Yuan, I never even say anything loudly, what happened today."
Li Shuyao, on the other hand, said with added jealousy: "That's because Ah Yuan is acting up. It's normal for the prince to be angry. It's time to teach her a lesson. This child is like this. Only with strict discipline can he become successful."
She rolled her eyes, leaned on King Dingnan and said, "Speaking of which, Chengjing will return to the capital soon."
"Well, then we have to have a good meal at the Fengfeng Building to celebrate."
Li Chengjing is Li Shuyao's son, one year older than Wen Yuan. I heard that he has been doing business abroad and rarely returns to the capital.
Ever since King Dingnan beat Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan had not spoken to him, and even ate in his own room.
Half a month later, Wen Yuan heard the news that Li Chengjing was coming to Dingnan Palace today, and his heart was filled with disgust.
"My father doesn't have enough sons? Does he need other people's sons to be his sons?" Shen Huaiyan heard the jealousy in Wen Yuan's words.
He knew very well that Wen Yuan just didn't want to admit that his father would forget Princess Dingnan so quickly, so she looked very awkward now.
Later in the evening, the family made an appointment with Li Chengjing to meet in the private room of Banfeng Building.
Although Wen Yuan doesn't talk to her father these days, it doesn't mean that she doesn't attend.
On this occasion, she had to express her attitude on the spot. Besides, through that man, she could also understand who the mother and son were.
But who would have expected that Li Chengjing left a very bad impression on Wen Yuan when they first met.
Wen Yuan was sitting alone on the first floor drinking tea. Because of her almost perfect appearance, Li Chengjing noticed her as soon as she walked into the Fengfeng Building.
He came forward to talk to Wen Yuan, "Miss, why are you here alone? How about I chat with you?"
Wen Yuan just looked at her calmly. After a while, there was someone else in her eyes.
Shen Huaiyan patted the man on the shoulder from behind, "Don't get yourself into trouble."
Li Chengjing is also a man who has seen the world, so he can clearly realize that this man is definitely not an ordinary person. In order not to cause trouble, he can only leave temporarily in despair.
When Wen Yuan and Shen Huaiyan walked into the private room, Li Chengjing was stunned. He approached his mother and whispered in her ear: "Mom, who is this?"
"The daughter of King Dingnan, Wen Yuan, whom I mentioned to you in my letter."
Li Chengjing began to look at Wen Yuan blatantly.
Not to be outdone, Wen Yuan glanced at Li Chengjing a few times and then said something in Shen Huaiyan's ear with a half-smile.
But looking at her cunning look, it shouldn't be a good thing to say, which made Li Chengjing feel insulted.
"Okay, now that everyone from both families is here, let me tell you my thoughts. I plan to choose an auspicious day and Shuyao to register with the government, and then entertain guests at the palace. What do you think?"
Li Chengjing was the first to stand up and speak. The smile on his face was very hearty, but Wen Yuan couldn't stand him no matter what, "Of course this is the best. I lost my father when I was young, and it was my mother who raised me up. Seeing how happy she is now makes me feel relieved, Your Majesty, I will also honor you in the future just like I honor my biological father."
After saying that, he drank all the wine in his glass and looked sideways at Wen Yuan in the distance.
Everyone expressed their attitude one by one, either implicitly or bluntly, but the brothers all respected their father's choice.
When it was Wen Yuan's turn, she played with the tea cup in her hand without saying a word, obviously disapproving of the two of them being together.
Li Shuyao also pretended to look at Wen Yuan pitifully, "A Yuan, I know that we have never been happy with each other, but I can change it. I hope you won't stop your father and me."
Really good at pretending.
Wen Yuan stood up and left the private room. She didn't want to listen to this woman's nonsense here.
Sitting invisibly on the willow tree outside the Wind Tower, Wen Yuan recalled that this was where Shen Huaiyan was sitting and talking to him.
It turns out that so much time has passed...
After a while, Wen Yuan saw Li Chengjing coming out. He was sitting on a big rock by the river, as if he was waiting for someone.
Wen Yuan hid behind the leaves and watched his next move quietly. Who knew that Li Shuyao also walked out of the wind building not long after.
What Wen Yuan didn't expect was that the two of them hugged each other, with Li Shuyao leaning in her son's arms like a little bird.
But the following conversation between the two made Wen Yuan know why they were like this.
"That woman is difficult to deal with."
Li Chengjing touched the woman's shoulder and said softly: "It's difficult to deal with, but it has to be dealt with. As long as we enter the Dingnan Prince's Mansion, we will have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives, and with Wen Yuan's relationship... other monsters will not dare to come to us again." It’s trouble.”
The woman in his arms sighed and said reluctantly: "But it will be inconvenient for us in the palace..."
"I know I've wronged you. I made you look like a middle-aged woman and pretended to be my mother."
When Wen Yuan heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out that this was the case. It turned out that the two of them were not mother and son, but a pair.
Through Li Chengjing's words just now, Wen Yuan knew their purpose of trying to sneak into the Dingnan Palace. What is certain now is that they are also demons, so they know their identities.
If that's the case, it would be easy... Wen Yuan thought to himself, waiting for the two of them to leave in the tree.
As expected, she was caught cold by the wind.
But these were innocuous to her, and Wen Yuan found Li Shuyao the next day.
At this time, the woman does not know what will happen in the near future.
"Li Shuyao." Wen Yuan always called her by her first name. She didn't think this woman could bear her honorific title.
The woman put down what she was doing and turned around impatiently, "I really don't understand etiquette. Didn't you teach it by the Queen Mother herself? That's it?"
Wen Yuan ignored her cynicism and approached directly, just shy of touching her, "If you and your son leave Dingnan Palace now, maybe I can let you live."
"Oh? Why? Miss Wen, do you know that if the prince finds out about this, he will be unhappy and might slap you again."
But Li Shuyao never expected that Wen Yuan today didn't care at all about what she said.
Wen Yuan heard a sound in the yard, so she used magic to close the door of this room, and placed a barrier around it to ensure that no one would eavesdrop on her conversation.
"Maybe you know who I am."
Li Shuyao's expression was obviously not right when she heard Wen Yuan say this, "I know, so what? I don't mind, I just want to be with your father."
"No. What I mean is that you know my identity, so I want to investigate you easily. The entire demon clan belongs to me. Do you think I came to you today because I already know some terrible secrets? Woolen cloth?"
Now her words completely made Li Shuyao lose her composure. She grabbed Wen Yuan's shoulders like crazy, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"I want you to get out of my house. I just said that if you take your son and get out now, I can spare your lives. If I discover your bigger conspiracy, I will let you know everything." The tortures in the Demon Abyss are also very cruel to the demon clan."
Li Shuyao fell to the ground. Seeing that she was already thinking about it, Wen Yuan left her room without looking back.
When Li Chengjing arrived, he only saw a frightened woman, "What's wrong with you? Weren't you fine this morning?"
Li Shuyao sat in the corner on the ground holding her legs, "She knows, she already knows our plan."
But when Li Shuyao told Li Chengjing what happened today, the man smiled, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "You are really stupid."
