Chapter 688 Dream
Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan became so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir!"
"Husband!"
Wenren Zong and Shen Jingyu spoke at the same time. Wenren Zong took a step forward and then stopped, while Shen Jingyu supported Xiao Tingshan.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Xiao Tingshan found strength from nowhere, turned around and grabbed Shen Jingyu's neck with his big hands with great force.
Shen Jingyu suddenly felt pain and was stunned for a moment. Her ferocious face and eyes looked at Xiao Tingshan in horror.
She struggled and reached out, trying to pry Xiao Tingshan's hand open.
But no matter how weak Xiao Tingshan was, he was still a man, not to mention he was furious at the moment, and Shen Jingyu's health had been worse since her skin ulcer.
Someone was pinching his vital points and he couldn't break free no matter what he did. His eyes were about to burst open and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xiao Tingshan stared at Shen Jingyu fiercely. At this moment, his face, which had been disguised for many years, could no longer hold on.
"Didn't you say that only you and Madam Qin knew about this amount of money? Why did Shen Shuyi know about it? Why!"
Xiao Tingshan growled in a hoarse voice. The blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet been wiped off, and his pale and ferocious face made him look like a demon.
Shen Jingyu opened her mouth several times and wanted to speak, but Xiao Tingshan was pinching her neck tightly, and she couldn't make a sound.
Shen Shuyi?
How could it be Shen Shuyi?
How could that woman know...
Shen Jingyu's eyes went dark, and before she had time to think, her whole body went limp due to lack of oxygen.
Xiao Tingshan pushed her away with hatred in his eyes.
Shen Jingyu fell to the ground and looked up. Under the moonlight, the man who was originally gentle and kind now looked hideous and ferocious. There was no trace of his former gentle appearance at all.
"Cough...cough..."
Shen Jingyu coughed violently, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, her throat tightened and she was a little flustered.
Xiao Tingshan looked at Wenren Zong and coughed a few times: "Let's talk in the study."
"Yes."
After the two of them went to the study together, Xiao Tingshan looked at Wen Renzong and said, "You said that person is from the Wei family?"
"It should be. The Wei family has been very low-key in recent years and has faded out of the court. But after the silver was robbed, I asked someone about it and they said that the person leading the troops was Wei Qingfeng, the second branch of the Wei family and the brother of the late queen."
"So, the Wei family already knew about this money?"
Wenren Zong shook his head: "I don't know, I have never heard of it before."
"But why did Shen Shuyi get involved in this matter?"
Whenever Shen Shuyi was mentioned, Xiao Tingshan felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if this woman was born to necessitate his defeat. No matter how he plotted, she would make it difficult for him to move forward.
Xiao Tingshan sat on the chair, somewhat unable to support himself.
"How is the Qin family doing?"
"The Qin family didn't know how to handle the current situation. Two people died and several were injured. As for whether they can survive, it depends on their fate."
Xiao Tingshan looked at him dimly: "You didn't reveal anything, did you?"
Wenren Zong knew that he was asking about the emperor and the Qin family.
No matter which side you are on, it is not a good thing to be suspected.
"Probably not, but two of our people died halfway up the mountain, and we didn't have time to deal with their bodies."
Xiao Tingshan nodded, his mind was in a mess. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Shen Jingyu is no longer useful. It's time for her to make room."
Wenren Zong was stunned: "Are you still planning to marry Shen Shuyi?"
He didn't understand why Shen Shuyi was targeting them everywhere. Marrying a woman like this would be more dangerous than Shen Jingyu.
What Wenren Zong didn't say was that he felt that with Xiao Tingshan's current abilities, he could not control that woman at all.
Xiao Tingshan said slowly: "Yes, keeping her under our noses is better than having her hiding in the dark. Even if we can't use her for our own benefit, at least we have her under our control and we can always know her movements."
Wenren Zong fell silent. This was not wrong.
After all, this Second Miss Shen hid herself too well, and they had no idea what she was planning.
What Xiao Tingshan didn't say was that during this period of time, he still often dreamed that he married Shen Shuyi back home.
After that, he was unstoppable all the way and somehow...he became the crown prince of the dynasty.
But he couldn't tell anyone about this dream.
Otherwise it would be a crime of great disrespect.
However, he couldn't help but think of the prophecy given by Master Huai Hai of the Jade Buddha Temple, which only said that the Shen family would give birth to a noble daughter.
If this is true, then who is this noble lady?
Once, everyone thought that this noble lady was Shen Jingyu, but looking at the current situation, Xiao Tingshan only felt that perhaps, this noble lady referred to Shen Shuyi...
*
On the other hand, Shen Jingyu has been feeling uneasy since she returned to her room.
Zhiqi and Baoqin were both very angry. They thought that if their young lady had not been disfigured, it would not have been Song Tingshan's turn.
But now, the young lady has married him, and he treats her like this, which is really hateful.
Zhiqi's eyes turned red with distress: "Miss..."
Shen Jingyu raised her hand, indicating that she didn't need to continue: "Pack your belongings and don't alarm others."
"Miss?" Baoqin was also stunned.
The pain in her neck was still burning, and Shen Jingyu felt her heart trembling.
Now, whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of Xiao Tingshan's ferocious face, as if he wanted to kill her not long ago.
Now that she has no bargaining chips in her hands, will Xiao Tingshan really keep her, a burden that makes him lose face and be ridiculed by others?
At that moment, what she saw was clearly an ambitious and unscrupulous man, not a gentle, kind and peaceful sickly prince at all.
She couldn't stay in the Duke Cheng's Mansion.
Otherwise, she would die here sooner or later...
"Then, where are we going?" Baoqin was a little flustered when she heard this, and her voice even had a hint of tears.
A hint of confusion flashed across Shen Jingyu's eyes.
Why?
Overnight, it seemed as if there was no place for her in this huge world?
After a while, Shen Jingyu said in a hoarse voice: "Go back to the Shen Mansion."
Shen Jingyu did not explain to the two maids, but urged them to move faster.
Half an hour later, Shen Jingyu had her maid knock out two servants, set the house on fire, and then took advantage of the chaos to leave through the small door of Duke Cheng's Mansion with the two maids.
The one who died in Duke Chengguo's Mansion was Lin Jingyu, the daughter of the Lin family, and she was Shen Jingyu, the daughter of the Shen family.
Even though she will never be as glorious as she once was, at least...she can save her life.
"Oh no! There's a fire! There's a fire!"
Soon, flames shot up into the sky. The servants and maids in the mansion were the first to react and began to scoop water with buckets to put out the fire.
Lady Chengguogong wished that Xiao Tingshan would die in the fire, so she came very late, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.
However, Xiao Tingshan had just laid down and had not yet fallen asleep when he heard a commotion outside.
Lou Yulan sat up and saw the firelight shining in. She couldn't help but say, "Sir, it seems that there is a fire in the East Courtyard."
