The bare branches spiked into the sky - no sign of life to be found anywhere. It was so dark Shen Xinyi was barely able to see where she was going. There were only small sounds of rustling bushes and the howl of the wind. Shen Xinyi didn't know what laid in the dark forest, all she knew was that it wasn't going to be a peaceful journey.
Feeling a throbbing pain in her chest, Shen Xinyi blamed it on her broken wrist . There was no way she was going to feel upset about Feng Tian Ming throwing himself over Qi Jiao's body for protecting her .
"Growl"
Shen Xinyi stiffened but then relaxed she was invisible there was no way any mystical beast will be able to sniff her out , her bracelet provides enough protection to her in case of danger ."Awu "
"Growl"
Slowly and carefully she made her way towards the noise , from the growling she knew that one of the two beasts was severely injured , if possibl
Shen Xinyi rushed forward in an attempt to escape from the cave ; if the assasins wwre following behind her she wouldn't like to be caught up in a dead end .Once she reached the cave opening a small childlike voice stopped her from stepping ahead."Master stop! Down! Down!"Shen Xinyi knew that once the contract between human and beasts were formed they can communicate with each other through spiritual connection . Though what the little fox said was mostly incomprehensible yet Shen Xinyi understood the gist of it . The little fox was asking her to look down .A silk like thread was attached to both the ends of the cave , it was so thin that if not for the little fox ; Shen Xinyi wouldn't have noticed it at all. The thin thread was later connected to a number of crossbows .Damnit .That stupid brat wanted to turn her into a living breathing human procupine!Shen Xinyi bit back a curse and slowly and carefully jumped over the threa
" Princess, let me help you "seeing Shen Xinyi getting in trouble with dressing her wound , Heng Heng couldn't sit still and took over the job . The wound was so deep and horrid that even Heng Heng couldn't help but tremble ." Sit still Princess, this will hurt " not wanting to startle Shen Xinyi; Heng Heng gave a light warning however Shen Xinyi didn't even flinched when Heng Heng cleaned her wound ; and why would she ? This wound was something that she did to herself .Yes, She wounded herself on purpose. When the entire group reached the scene of ten grown up men being murdered ; Shen Xinyi couldn't appear in front of them without even a slightest injury, if she did ; Qi Jiao would have definitely tried to bring trouble to her thus ; Shen Xinyi used the same dagger that she used to silence Qi Jiao 's maid to create certain injuries on her body , not to mention the maid 's blood was also splashed on her body . If she didn't had a ' huge inj
"Go back ; Bai Ze " It has been three days since Shen Xinyi went into cultivating and since then Bai Ze has been kneeling outside her courtyard . Heng Heng didn't had any sympathy for him but seeing him kneel continuously for three days made her feel slightly guilty .Bai Ze was beaten black and blue before he arrived at the Princess Ming Mansion but even with all the injuries he still insisted to keep on kneeling in apologising to Shen Xinyi . However it was his bad luck that Shen Xinyi went inside her space of the bracelet and locked herself into cultivation .However except from Heng Heng none of Shen Xinyi 's servant felt apologetic towards Bai Ze . Even though Heng Heng was tight lipped ; Shi Shi couldn't keep a secret even if her life depended on it thus , it wasn't long before the entire Princess mansion knew of Bai Ze abandoning his mistress for their former master .The life of servants were just like that , the
"Here have this" Feng Tian Ming placed a peeled egg in Shen Xinyi 's bowl before he filled her bowl with enough meat and soup .Shen Xinyi felt an upcoming headache, her bowl was now filled to the brim was on its verge to explode ,some more pieces of meat and it was going to topple. Shen Xinyi knew that Feng Tian Ming was doing this to make her speak to him but she wasn't willing! Not to mention what kind of attitude was this prince displaying? wasn't the seventh prince someone who was aloof cold and dethached? since when a person with a cold temperament peeled eggs for some one?Feng Tian Ming however could careless about Shen Xinyi 's grievances , he had seen his father performing a song in respect for his mother the Empress, so compared to the Emperor; he, the seventh prince was still preserving his dignity .Thankfully; the Emperor didn't know what his youngest son thinks about him or else he would be furious enough to whomp his youngest s
Shen Xinyi however didn't had the time to worry about Her fiance instead she found herself being busy from day to night in exctracting the poison from her mother's body .In a blink of an eye three days passed and the day of the eldest daughter of Shen Ping arrived . Originally, with Shen Qin's identity much fanfare wasn't needed but Shen Ping under Chen Chu Chu 's influence insisted that the entire family must wait for Shen Qin's arrival. Shen Xinyi and Shen Qi weren't willing to do so but since their surname was still ' Shen' , they couldn't deny it either thus reluctantly and begrudgingly they agreed to wait with the rest of the family members .The weather had slowly chilled down and in such a weather the entire Shen family except for the old matriarch was forced to stand outside their manor .The cold harsh wind whipped their faces , Shen Miao who was only ten couldn't even stop her teeth from chattering , Han shi was afraid that her daug
Dressed in vibrant red robe with a cool expression on her face Luo Tong looked aa if someone had paused her time when she was only twenty . Her youthful face was free of any wrinkles or fine lines ; it seemed to be frozen in time ." My lord?"Luo Tong called out to Shen Ping once again her voice gentle yet firm . Shen Ping who was frozen in shock finally moved, his heart quivering in fear .This..this wasn't supposed to happen! with Luo Tong's recovery how will he taint the reputation of the Luo family?Chen Chu Chu on the other hand ,was green with envy . Only she knows how many efforts it took for her to somehow manage her figure and beauty after giving birth but Luo Tong who was poisoned still looked as beautiful as an immortal fairy! How could she not be angry!Luo Tong on the other hand simply glanced at the other Luo family members , except for Shen Miao and her mother she didn't had any favourable memory of them . But the person she h
Luo Tong ignored the stunned looks of the Shen family and went to stand by Shen Ping , her hatred for him was a different thing and her position as an official wife was another.An hour later Chen Chu Chu came with Shen Yu, she has changed her vibrant red dress to a dull pink one , it wasn't her fault , for so many years she enjoyed the status of a secondary wife thus all her clothes from her time as a serving concubine were old and worn down and in such a haste there was no way anyone will be able to get a new pair skirt and blouse .Behind Chen Chu Chu was Shen Yu , just like Chen Chu Chu; her status too have suffered greatly .From a secondary wife daughter to a lowly concubine daughter . Thus, Shen Yu too needed a change of clothes and since she never once wore dresses that were appropriate for a concubine daughter therefore; Shen Yu had to borrow one of Shen Miao's clothing making it difficult for her to keep her perfect white lotus expression .Chen
Shen Qin made her skin even thicker and kept cajoling the old matriarch, gifts? Don't make her laugh , Wang De had even sold off her dowry to repay his debts, from where will she get money to buy gifts to please this old lady? nor has she forgotten how stingy The Shen family old matriarch was with her , just because she was a daughter . If not for Chen Chu Chu brain washing Shen Ping every night , claiming that Shen Qin had exchanged her good luck for her father, or that Shen Qin was lucky for Shen Ping, forget about an adopted daughter status, she wouldn't even get a full meal!Shen Qin might have stayed away from the Shen family with her mother a few years but she was very clear about the white eye wolf nature of these blood relations . Every person was greedy for their own benefit , so how could she be willing to spend some money to bring gifts back to them ? Hasn't she already given her father all her good luck? Why should she give them more? If anythi
