" Dead? What do you mean by dead !" in the dead of the night , Shen Ping's enraged roar broke the tranquillity of the silence . Three and four stood beside , Shen Ping and in front of them was five, half kneeling , half moaning in pain as he kneeled on the broken pieces of the tea cup that Shen Ping just threw " One task! I just gave you and seven , just one task and that was to keep an eye on that crazy bitch and make sure that she remains that way but instead you ended up failing in such a simple task? "
" Master forgive me ! But I clearly have no idea how seven died !" hissed five in pain even though his entire being was wrapped in black clothing , his eyes were still peering through the see through mask " This servant , made sure to send five at Miss Chen 's courtyard . And he went there as well , I don't know how in just fifteen minutes he ended up dead "
" Useless ! All of you are s
Bang !At Chen Chu Chu 's courtyard , the sound of tea cup breaking resounded as well , however unlike Shen Ping, Chen Chu Chu didn't scream like a banshee instead she gripped the edge of the armrest of her chair and glared at the pozi ( old female servant that were used to do hard jobs) and finally parted her lips " continue "The pozi who was kowtowing felt an eerie chill when she caught sight of those red rimmed eyes of her mistress and spoke quietly all the while trembling like a drenched quail " Nubi ...Nubi brought meal to Miss Chen after second lady left, Nubi was afraid that something might have gone wrong .. so This servant( Nubi ) brought a completely vegetarian meal to sound Miss Chen out but-"" but what !" demanded Chen Chu Chu" But Miss Chen kept her mouth shut , she didn't make a 'chu' sound and didn't even create a ruckus wh
And that wasn't all when her mother mentioned Minister Huang a really old memory surfaced in Shen Yu's mind . Two years ago, Minister Huang was able to match his idiot son with the shu daughter of a lowly seventh rank official , though they were unmatched in status , the young lady with whom Minister Huang son was engaged to was a very gentle and refined young girl with a weak scholarly aura .The young lady who married Huang son believed that as long as she withstand her husband disability , she would be able to live a peaceful life without much interference . After all , she was third in line to get married and there was the official wife of her father that ruled above her head in her house .So , that young lady planned everything carefully, when the Huang couple insisted that the young lady have to consummate her marriage with their son , that young lady actually planned ahead to fake the consummation !
" Leave the rogue "Three days passed in a blink of an eye and the day for Shen Qin's baby shower banquet arrived . The old matriarch on Shen Ping's insistence ordered everyone to attend it without exception, meaning even if Shen Xinyi wanted to turn a blind eye to Shen Qin 's invitation , she couldn't do it anymore not like she was going to , after all her father has taken so many measures to invite her to this banquet , how can she not grace him with her presence ." But miss without the rogue , your look will not be according to the festivity " said Shi Shi as she placed down the box of peach rogue back on the vanity mirror ." Whose going there for enjoying the festivities? " said Shen Xinyi as she glanced at her reflection in the mirror , Shi Shi has applied some rogue upon her lips making them resemble a juicy peach that no one could resist but to take a bite , her sword like eyebr
" Thanking , Second lady for her grace " Han shi was still pale but after years of living in the Shen mansion , she wasn't much surprised by what Shen Xinyi just told her . She always knew that with her weak temperament , her daughter was bound to suffer . Han shi knew that the moment Shen Miao was born her fate was sealed as a chess piece to be used by her father .Such was the fate of a concubine born child ." if not for your help , Second lady I don't know what would have happened to the third lady " said Han shi wiping her eyes and expression her utmost gratitude " I cannot fight against Lord Shen but I don't want to ruin my daughter 's life either , thank you for a warning us beforehand or else " Han shi shuddered and didn't speak but Shen Xinyi understood .Shen Xinyi wanted to tell that there was no need but then a loud bang resonated from the courtyard next to them
" Si-sister Luo , I -" seeing the radiant Luo Tong , Lin Shi trembled in fear . Ever since Shen Ping brought her to the Shen mansion , Luo Tong has been sick and mentally unstable, even her children were reticent and not daring enough to look her in the eye . That's why Lin Shi and Shen Rui were used to throwing their weight in front of Shen Xinyi and Shen Qi.What Lin Shi didn't knew was even though Shen Xinyi wasn't capable of dealing with her in the past , Shen Qi was very much capable of dealing with the mother and daughter pair , it was just that he was a man and as a man he couldn't poke in the matters of his father's inner courtyard .Even Shen Xinyi was brain washed by Chen Chu Chu and the others , that's why she wouldn't say anything against them , which led to this current situation .But now seeing Luo Tong standing in front of her hearty and looking like a freshly bloomed flower , Lin Shi was tongue tied , she didn't
" Old Madam I - " when the old matriarch suddenly called her , Lin Shi was startled . When has she received this cutting glare from her mother in law ? She was clearly the most doted concubine of her husband !" What is this I ? " snapped the old matriarch taking a sip of her tea " Today is such a joyous day , why are you crying as if your parents died ? Are you trying to curse this family or what !"" No - No , Old Madam . How - how can this concubine have the courage -" flustered Lin Shi shot a look at Shen Ping hoping that he will interfere and coax his mother . But surprisingly Shen Ping didn't even so much as glanced at her way , forget about coaxing his mother for not giving her a hard time , he didn't even raised his eyes to look at her ! Lin Shi clenched her fingers tightly but somehow swallowed her indignation and smiled " Its nothing Old Madam - This - This concubine was just a little emotion
When Madam Huang finished speaking everyone including Han shi were stunned . Shen Xinyi alone remained calm with an stoic expression on her face as she continued to blow on her tea raising someone's body temperature was as easy as playing building blocks for her .On the other hand Shen Qin's expression turned terrible as her features distorted in anger .She glared at Shen Miao before turning her head to glare at Shen Xinyi , earlier when her mother told her that Shen Xinyi was no longer as timid as before Shen Qin didn't believed her mother after all Shen Xinyi grew up in front of her, even if she changed how much will a person change overnight ? At most she might become a bit courageous and bold . In her heart Shen Qin was certain that no matter how much Shen Xinyi changed she would never dare to go against her but reality proved her wrong .Even if Shen Qin wasn't as smar
Shen Xinyi caught each and every emotion that flickered in Shen Yu 's eyes , This was the woman with whom she has fought in the imperial harem for so long ,how can she not understand that Shen Yu was feeling unsettled right now ? Shen Xinyi who once experienced Shen Yu 's amazing ability to turn black into white would never let her have a chance to gain an upper hand ever again thus , she looked over at Yin Li and spoke " What a wonderful maid you have third sister not only is she caring enough to bring you thoroughly cold food because you are not allowed to eat overly warm meals , she even 'hid ' the information regarding your recovery from grandmother "Yin Li who was already scared witless trembled but then she caught Chen Chu Chu 's gaze and straightened her neck and muttered " second lady , you have wronged this servant - how , how can this servant be daring enough to do something so outrageous ? My young miss 's health is frail and she
