" 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
Shen Xinyi knew that there will be a number of good shows in the future, thus she looked away from Yin Li and Shen Ping, with a cold glance that hid her murderous aura. Han shi on the other hand was looking at her Lord with a chilling gaze that was filled with disgust, this was her husband ! Her husband , the man for whom she bore a child but look at his shameless behaviour .Watching that woman who nearly harmed her daughter with such a gaze that barely hid his thoughts ! How disgusting ! How shameful. !Even if Shen Ping wasn't embarrassed, Han shi was embarrassed ! Her heart was filled with pangs of regret , when she was young , there were countless young men born of concubine who wanted to marry her as a principal wife but unfortunately she somehow invoked Shen Ping 's interest and the latter
" Miao Miao , you go to the blessing pavillion " once the farce in the old matriarch 's courtyard was done , Yin Li was promoted to Shen Ping 's bed servant and she was ordered to serve Shen Ping in his study . Shen Ping' s plan was flawless , since he was currently enamoured by Yin Li 's beauty and wonderful curves , he didn't want Chen Chu Chu to get her hands on Yin Li .To Shen Ping , his study was like his own territory that no one shall trespass but what he didn't know that Chen Chu Chu had long bribed a quite a few number of servants in his study with her family's money . What did the Chen family didn't lack ? clearly it was money !Chen Chu Chu had no qualms in bribing Shen Ping 's servants , she was such a jealous woman that she wanted Shen Ping to
Shen Xinyi strolled inside the run down courtyard and casually flicked open the door to the hall where Shen Ping 's concubine once played zither to entice him .The moment she strode in , a vase that was already gone old and mouldy came flying at her direction , she tilted her head and dodged it not even bothering to move the slightest bit , with little mochi 's protection , it would be impossible for her to get hurt by a small vase .Inside the hall , Shen Yu sat calmly as she watched her mother throw a tantrum , she really couldn't be bothered by her mother's stupidity , if only her father wasn't unreliable she wouldn't have at all bothered about cajoling her mother , thus Shen Yu could only swallow the curses that she wanted to hurl at her mother and said soothingly " mother , its alright . She is just a bed servant, so what if she was raised above her station , its not like that we can't drag her back?" Even though Shen Yu said that , she had an i
