"But if I die in Huaizhou Mansion, the Shen family will help you come to your home to cancel your marriage to me. Of course, my mother will also take the initiative to come to your home to cancel your marriage. Between us..." Xie Yujin picked up the secret report and read it.
Between them, it wasn't to the point where she could spend all her energy on him.
"As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, even if you don't marry the Xie family and don't become the crown prince, you can still marry into a good family. Miss Gu, you and I... have known each other a long time ago."
Otherwise, why did she look at him as if she were looking at an old friend she had known for a long, long time.
But in his memory, except for the recent contact with Shen Wan, he did not remember meeting Shen Wan before, or even longer...
Shen Wan suddenly turned her face away and looked at the plum blossom painting embroidered by Mrs. Yu. She used a smile to cover up the debt in her heart: "How could it be? I left Beijing when I was nine years old and have been studying medicine with my master. I have heard of Mr. Xie's name. "
"Gorgeous, unparalleledly handsome, he has a very resounding name. On the way from southern Xinjiang to the northern part of Xinjiang, people have been listening to talk about how the young man from the Xie family became famous in one battle at the age of eleven."
"Maybe I also look up to Xie Xiaolang, the God of War. So, when I knew that I was betrothed to Mr. Xie, I was secretly happy."
Xie Yujin's eyes were as bright as stars.
Hot sweat overflowed unconsciously from the palms of the hands, the heart in the left chest beat inexplicably faster, and even the blood was boiling.
"You, look up to me!" His voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in a low voice: "But you know that the fate of my Xie family will be the same as that of the Jiang family, how can you regard this marriage as a blessing, unless..."
Unless she likes him, he can't think of a woman helping him like this. It's really just pure admiration.
The Shen family and the Xie family were originally opposed to each other. When he received the imperial edict of marriage, he found out that it was the prince who lobbied the emperor and it was not the intention of the Shen family and Queen Shen.
As long as Shen Wan is unwilling, Queen Shen will help her cancel the marriage. Now it seems... Shen Wan is very serious about this marriage.
He was even a little ashamed. When he first received the imperial edict, he was wondering when Shen Wan would let people from the Shen family come to cancel the engagement.
"Do you think that I should enter the East Palace and be the crown princess? I will fight for that position with all my life instead of marrying into your Xie family." Shen Wan gently opened the corners of her lips and asked with a smile.
Xie Yujin came back to her senses: "The four generations of queens in the Shang Dynasty were all from the Shen family. I really thought you would compete for it and become the crown prince."
"Why should I fight for that position?"
Shen Wan's words stopped Xie Yujin.
"Still, you are not confident enough in yourself." Shen Wan raised his head and stared into Xie Yujin's eyes: "You think I should prefer being a princess, right?"
Xie Yujin nodded slightly.
It's not that he is unconfident, but everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is prepared for the prince.
Shen Wan didn't know that all the way back to the capital from the north, he heard people praising the eldest daughter of the Shen family, praising her as the savior.
When she was looking up to him, he was also looking up to this outstanding girl that others said.
Over the years, the name "Shen Wan" has always lingered in his ears.
What boy doesn't like beautiful women, let alone such a legendary figure.
While other noble ladies were vying to be the "most talented woman" and "the most beautiful woman" in the capital, she held the book of salvation in her hand and saved many, many people with her medical skills.
He just couldn't believe that his boyhood dream girl had become his fiancée.
In a daze, Shen Wan walked in front of him. Xie Yujin subconsciously took a step back, but Shen Wan grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
She stood on tiptoes, raised her head, and placed her red lips on his chin.
A dazzling firework exploded in Xie Yujin's mind, and time seemed to have stood still...
The girl's fragrance lingered in his breath.
Her warmth lingered around his heart.
She quickly withdrew from him, and stared at him quietly with her beautiful phoenix eyes: "I have seen thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, peace and happiness, and I have also seen the sky full of gunpowder smoke, ruthless killing, and great right and wrong. I know very well what I want now What, not wanting to be the Crown Princess is my choice, not what others don’t want. Pushing me to you again, I am not garbage. I can throw it away at the whim of others. It is not the turn of that piece of holy will to bind you and me. For one thing, no one else can control what I don’t want to do.”
His heart was about to beat out of his throat, and there was an indescribable numbness all over his body, and he gradually fell into despair.
"You... everything was planned by you?" In other words, was it also her plan to become his fiancée...?
Shen Wan raised her head calmly and asked him, "Don't you like a different woman like me?"
She took a step forward, and Xie Yujin subconsciously stepped back.
It's not a question of like it or not.
It's just that he never thought that his fiancée would be Shen Wan.
She is the standard for a wife in the hearts of young men in the capital city.
She is proficient in civil and military affairs and has superb medical skills. Her father holds a high position, her mother also comes from Shangjingwangmen, and her five brothers all shine in their respective fields.
What normal man wouldn't like such a shining star in Shangjing City?
He was forced by Shen Wan to have no way out, so he turned his head and looked at the soft couch behind him, but the woman in front of him reached out and pushed him.
They both fell on the soft couch.
Her soft body covered him, and the fragrance of the woman's body hit his nostrils.
Shen Wan's strong attack made Xie Yujin unexpected and happy. He held her shoulders, turned over and pressed her down and said: "Shen Wan, did you know that I was also looking up to you on the way back to the capital from the north? .”
After saying that, he placed his thin lips on hers, but the wildness in his heart was restrained by his actions.
He didn't dare kiss her too hard.
After his lips touched hers, Xie Yujin realized that she had offended the girl.
He stood up from the soft couch suddenly, unable to control the desire in his eyes, and his voice was extremely hoarse: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you just now..."
In the night sky, the call of cicadas suddenly came.
Xie Yujin turned back and looked out the window. Shi Feng, who was guarding the door, also heard a voice: "Senior Sister, someone is coming in the direction of Gu's house."
Xie Yujin came back to her senses and said to Shen Wan: "Don't be afraid, those are the shadow guards of my Xie family. They sent me a signal to call me back. I'm afraid that Mr. Shen is looking for me everywhere, so I'll leave first. I have erased your whereabouts in the Gu family for you."
He opened the window and prepared to leave.
Shen Wan called him from behind: "Wait a minute."
He looked back at her.
Shen Wan handed a dagger to Xie Yujin: "This is the dagger I stole from Shen Chengxiao's room. It was a coming-of-age gift given to Shen Chengxiao by Mr. Shen before his death. It has a very special meaning to him. It is smeared with It’s extremely poisonous, take it with you and see how you can use it.”
Xie Yujin took the dagger and looked at it twice: "Is there an antidote to the poison on it?"
"have."
"Okay." He put on the dagger, climbed out of the window and left.
But he was spotted by Gu Jing'an who was rushing over. He chased after him, but Shi Feng stopped him.
Shen Wan heard the movement outside, opened the door and said, "Brother, there is no need to chase."
"That little thief broke into your boudoir at night."
"Brother Gu, you misunderstood, that's Senior Sister's person." Shi Feng quickly explained.
Gu Jing'an was not a fool. Thinking of the man Shen Wan asked him to investigate, he turned around and asked Shen Wan: "Is he the person you asked me to investigate, the Imperial City Chief?"
"Yes, I want to leave the Gu family first, and you stay at home."
"Are you going to save that man? He will die, right? The Shen family members want to kill him. Does that mean this operation is dangerous? Can I..." I haven't said anything about accompanying you. After finishing, he was interrupted by Shen Wan.
"Brother, you are the eldest son of Gu. Don't show your face and face your enemies, because no one can guarantee that you can come out clean."
Shen Zhengyi did not give up hunting down the Gu family. He even sent several assassins to secretly search for the Gu family's whereabouts, intending to silence the Gu family.
She didn't want anything to go wrong.
"Brother, I have already arranged your path for you. I hope that eldest brother will stay in the Gu family and spend more time with his parents. I won't let anything happen to me."
Seeing Shen Wan's firm eyes, Gu Jing'an thought of her plan and wisdom, and finally listened to Shen Wan's words.
"Okay, I'll stay at home and wait for you with my parents."
"Shifeng, let's go."
…
"Has he boarded the ship?" Shen Chengxiao got on the largest cargo ship, holding the telescope brought back from Nanyang by Shen Chengyi, the third son of the Shen family, and looking at another cargo ship in the south.
Shen family guard Shen Ji replied: "Back to the eldest son, everyone from the Imperial City Department has boarded the cargo ship at the back. My subordinates personally watched them board."
"I see it." Shen Chengxiao turned the telescope to make the scene on the opposite side more detailed, and clearly saw Xie Yujin standing on the bow of the ship, looking at him.
Shen Chengxiao sneered: "Lao San, the stuff you brought back from Nanyang is quite practical."
"I personally chose this to give to Suisui." Shen Chengyi didn't know about Shen Lian yet.
However, Shen Chengxiao quickly told Mr. Shen what had happened in the house recently. However, Shen Chengxiao beautified Shen Lian a little, not wanting to leave a bad impression on Shen Chengyi. After all, no matter how bad Shen Lian was, She is also their biological sister and the future crown princess.
He didn't say anything about Shen Chengfeng losing his legs.
Third Young Master Shen was full of expectations for the new sister of the Shen family: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I only brought gifts to Suisui, not our biological sister."
"Of all the things on your boat, just pick any one and give it to her."
"How can you just give it away casually? I put a lot of effort into picking hairpins as a gift for Suisui. Who would have thought that Shen Wan is not a bloodline of our Shen family? Did dad kick her out?" Shen Chengxiao told her It is said that Shen Wan's biological parents secretly transferred the real daughter fifteen years ago because they were greedy for the power of the Shen family.
Therefore, Shen Chengyi felt extremely disgusted with Shen Wan's biological parents, and even Shen Wan was greatly discounted in his heart...
Shen Chengxiao was slightly absent-minded, and Shen Wan's delicate and beautiful face appeared in his mind.
Send away?
How can that family be so cheap?
Shen Wan was a stolen girl from the Shen family. Her father would not send Shen Wan away unless told, and he would not allow it.
"Sui Sui is innocent." Shen Chengxiao took back his binoculars and said, "This was originally what you wanted to give to Sui Sui. I will keep it for you. When I return to Shen's house, I will give it to her personally. "
"But I don't want to give it." Shen Chengyi has begun to favor sister Shen Lian, whom he has never met yet.
"Then give it to eldest brother." Shen Chengxiao put away his binoculars, leaving Shen Chengyi speechless.
"Brother, what is the family's attitude towards Shen Wan?"
"It's not like our Shen family can't afford to feed her. Grandma has some real feelings for Sui Sui and is reluctant to send her back."
"Is that fair to Lian'er? Lian'er has suffered so much outside. She should have been the eldest daughter of our Shen family, but she has to be reduced to the second daughter, a poor peasant girl. Why should she enjoy it? To protect our sister’s glory and wealth.”
"So, the person promised to His Royal Highness now is Lian'er, not Shen Wan. That's enough. Third child, you are the one who loves Suisui the most."
Shen Chengyi was unwilling to give in: "That's because I didn't know at all that she was not the legitimate daughter of our Shen family. Now that I know, I feel disgusted and disgusted."
"Alas." Shen Chengxiao sighed: "I shouldn't have said this to you. She is innocent."
"Then our biological sister is not innocent. Brother, you have the wrong mentality. It is already a great gift that our Shen family can take in Shen Wan and let her continue to bear our Shen family name. She must know how to be grateful. You should stop taking advantage of sister Lian'er's things, and stop trying to get more. I can't treat her like I did before. You can treat her how you want, but don't ask me to be like a big brother. "
After Shen Chengyi finished speaking, he turned around and entered the side room.
At this time, a guard of the Shen family came to report: "Master, there are many ships surrounding the cargo ship. They don't look like our people."
Shen Chengxiao frowned and immediately picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
Out of the hazy mist, a ship emerged. The ships were not big, less than half the size of their ship, but their number was staggering, almost surrounding their cargo ship.
This momentum is wrong.
The ship they planned was supposed to surround Xie Yujin's cargo ship, but now it appeared here.
"ah……"
"What the hell is this?" Young Master Shen's scream came from the side room.
Shen Chengxiao walked quickly into the side room and saw Shen San hugging a guard and staring at an antique vase with flowers on his face in horror.
The other guards in the wing, holding swords in their hands, surrounded the antique vase.
"What's going on?" Shen Chengxiao stepped into the side room and walked quickly.
Shen Chengyi said: "There is a person under the flower vase."
When Shen Chengxiao heard this, he stepped forward and kicked the antique vase to pieces.
Immediately, a middle-aged man with no limbs and only his head and body fell out of the vase.
His body rolled stiffly twice and fell at Shen Chengxiao's feet.
Shen Chengxiao knelt down, lifted the middle-aged man's hair, and saw the man's appearance clearly.
The man whose limbs were cut off, his tongue pulled out, and his eyes dug out was none other than the Manager Wang of their Shen Mansion...
"You've fallen into a trap, get off the boat quickly." Shen Chengxiao reacted suddenly.
At this moment, bright fireworks dazzled on the sea, followed by earthquakes and collapse, and only a "boom" was heard.
Missiles hit the cargo ship...
