Chapter 23: The Phoenix Returns to the Nest (2)

"Wanwan, please advise your father. Your father...he wants to drive your sister away. What should we do?" As she said this, Shu's mother Li Fen started to cry again.

Wanwan? Shu Wanwan?

Shu Yao relied on the consciousness of the original owner to remember that the woman in front of her was the girl that her father and mother picked up on the battlefield eight years ago.

Less than half a year after she entered Shu Mansion, was Shu Yao sent to the mountain to learn arts and practice?

Shu Yao pushed her away without leaving a trace, with a calm expression, because Shu Yao really had no feelings for her, so it was better to keep her distance than to pretend to welcome her.

Shu Wanwan obviously felt Shu Yao's alienation and indifference. She smiled awkwardly, but deep down she hated it. She hadn't seen her in eight years, but the Shu Yao in front of her turned out to be so beautiful.

It is said that beauty is in the bones rather than in the skin. Looking at her flat and open forehead, low brow bone and a pair of colorful red phoenix eyes that are hooked in and out, she looks delicate and charming. The distance between her eyes is slightly wider, giving people a sense of distance.

The tip of the nose is upturned and delicate, adding a heroic air, the lips are neither thick nor thin, and the chin is round. Overall, the small facial features combine delicate, cool, heroic and other temperaments. It is simply the face of a fairy.

Putting away the jealousy in her eyes, Shu Wanwan turned around and walked to Shu's mother, comforting her: "Don't worry, mother, Wanwan will convince father."

Shu Wanwan came to Shu's father respectfully, leaned down and saluted, "Father, my sister must have suffered a lot in the mountains. Today, the family can finally be reunited. Father, it's better not to let my sister go!"

He paused for a moment, his eyes revealed a glint, and his voice was choked with sobs:

"Father, back then, the Taoist priest said that my sister was destined to have bad luck... There is no basis and it is not credible. Father, please don't listen to me. Father, look at your sister, she is so pitiful. How can she bring disaster to the family?"

Hearing this, Shu Shihuai's originally somewhat guilty heart suddenly became cruel. He glared at each other with a cold face and sneered at each other: "Can't you all hear this? Blow this evil girl away from me."

Shu Shihuai had a heart of stone. Shu's mother saw it and her eyes were red. She was so angry that her whole body trembled, she had difficulty breathing, and she cursed angrily:

"Shu Shihuai, are you crazy? How many years have your son been sent to the battlefield and your biological daughter has not been allowed to see him? What are your intentions?"

Shu Wanwan's heart suddenly tightened when she saw Li Fen was agitated and mentioned her eldest brother again. Looking at Shu Shihuai's slightly trembling face, she knew that Shu Shihuai was softening his heart again.

So, she stepped forward cautiously, reminding her intentionally or unintentionally: "Father, my eldest brother has been weak since he was a child. It is impossible for him to be in conflict with his younger sister! It is unbelievable to say that my younger sister defeats my father, my mother, and my brother!"

After seeing such a heartless, heartless, farce-like family, Feng Chen stood aside and became furious. What kind of family are these? It seemed that they were trying to persuade each other openly, but in fact there was something hidden behind their words, and they were hiding evil intentions.

What kind of green tea frame is this? The words he said were so heartbreaking, couldn’t even their family see it?

If the boss's eyes hadn't stopped him from talking, he would have really wanted to skin this woman.

This sentence really touched upon Shu Shihuai's pain point. He was furious and shouted: "Come here, come here, blast me out, blast me out."

Facing the cold-blooded and ruthless father in front of her, Shu Yao smiled. This man who had never given her any fatherly love since she was a child was avoiding her like the plague. How ironic!

Shu Yao's eyes were lifeless, and her words were frozen: "Ha! This is my biological father. You are a father in vain. Do you think I am willing to return to this cold home? Have you ever been to the mountain for eight years?

Have I ever had a trace of pity? Shu Shihuai, I don’t want a father like you!"

Feng Chen was extremely distressed. He must be so strong at such a young age. When his heart breaks into sand, he can still look back and smile.

At this time, three or four servants came in, surrounded Shu Yao, and tried to push her out of Shu's house.

"My daughter, no..." Shu's mother Li Fen shouted heartbreakingly and ran towards Shu Yao desperately.

When Shu Wanwan saw this, she quickly stepped forward to stop her. She took Shu's mother's arm and said, "Mother." Then, she motioned to Cuiliu, the maid next to her, and hugged Shu's mother together.

Mother Shu cried out in tears: "Wanwan, please let me go. I can't lose my daughter anymore. Please let me go... let go..."

Shu Yao skillfully dodged the servant's outstretched claws, frowned slightly with her beautiful eyebrows, and spoke coldly and proudly: "Don't touch me, I will leave on my own."

Shu's mother was restrained so that she could not move. When she saw Shu Yao being kicked out of the front hall, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red from crying. She struggled to break free.

Perhaps, because she is a strong mother, Shu's mother actually threw off the restraints of the two and ran towards Shu Yao. Then, she hugged Shu Yao's shoulders tightly and looked at everyone.

Shu's mother Li Fen was very emotional and looked at Shu Shihuai with an angry roar, speaking fiercely:

"Don't even think about driving away my daughter again. If you drive her away, drive me away too. She is my daughter. I can't just watch you drive her out of the house again. Let's go together."

."

Shu Wanwan was thrown away and was shocked. She never imagined where her mother, who had always been sick, could get such strength. She shouted anxiously: "Mother?"

Shu Yao was strangled to death by her. At this moment, Shu Yao was moved. This familiar yet unfamiliar mother used her body to tell her that this was maternal love, and she was trying her best to save her daughter.

"You, you, you..." Shu Shihuai was furious and pointed at Li Fen with a trembling finger. Is this his wife who has been married to him for decades and has a gentle personality and obedience?

At this moment, a servant at the door came to report: "Master Ling, the middle minister, and his wife would like to see you."

Instantly, the noise in the hall stopped.

Shu Shihuai was astonished, Lord Ling? How could he come?

For a moment, there was no time to think. Shu Shihuai calmed down his emotions, simply arranged his clothes, looked at the messy servants in the hall, and ordered: "Everyone get out."

As the servants avoided one by one, Master Ling also led the servant to the front hall.

This middle minister has never had a personal relationship with him, and the court is even more indifferent. Why is he here this time? Shu Shihuaizheng was wondering, Lord Ling and his family entered the front hall.

Shu Shihuai hurried forward to greet him, showed his signature smile, and bowed his hands, "Oh! It's a rare visitor. I'm paying homage to Mr. Ling, and I've met Mrs. Ling."

At this time, Shu Yao was walking towards the door, and happened to see Ling Hanjing supporting a woman and smiling at herself.

Shu Yao's face was slightly startled, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She smiled and nodded. At this time, the two of them actually understood each other's thoughts.

Mrs. Ling greeted respectfully and politely: "Hello, Mr. Shu."

Ling Hanjing bowed deeply: "My little daughter has met Master Shu and Mrs. Shu."

Shu Shihuai nodded and praised: "Well, well, your love is so beautiful!" Mrs. Ling nodded and responded humbly: "Sir, you are too modest."

Master Ling glanced at Shu Shihuai and said humbly: "Sir Shu, I took the liberty of visiting you today. It's really a bit abrupt. I hope you won't take offense."

Shu Shi Huaixue thought it was a snake and replied: "Master Ling can come to the humble house and make the humble house shine." After saying this, he stretched out his right hand to indicate to the guests to take a seat, turned around and said: "Watch the tea."

Lord Ling and his wife walked up to the upper seat and sat down. He moved his beard and looked at Lord Shu with a look of justice. He looked at Lord Shu and said with a smile: "There is a reason for my visit today. Lord Shu, you have raised a good daughter!"

As soon as these words came out, Shu Shihuai and Shu's mother, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other. This sudden sentence made the two of them a little confused.

Shu Shihuai cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why you said this?"

"Master Ling, could you please ask me to come out and see you?" Master Ling did not answer his words, but introduced the topic tactfully, with a little expectation in his eyes.

When Shu Shihuai heard it, where did this couple sing? Why did they want to see the little girl?

Although he was confused, he couldn't offend Master Ling, so he ordered the servants: "Please come here, Wanwan."

"Yes." The maid next to Shu's mother responded and went to call Shu Wanwan.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Ling in the hall frowned, then calmly picked up the tea cup and started drinking.

Not long after, the maid came to the front hall with Shu Wanwan. She saw Shu Wanwan bowing deeply, dignifiedly and generously, "Wanwan has met Mr. Ling, Mrs. Ling, and Miss Ling."

Master Ling put down the tea cup without batting an eyelid and asked seriously: "Is this the only daughter of the Shu family?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall were filled with excitement, and Shu Wanwan's face suddenly became embarrassed.

Just as Shu Shihuai was about to speak, he was interrupted by Shu's mother sitting aside, "Master Ling, the Shu family also has a daughter. I wonder what Master Ling is talking about..."

Hearing this, Shu Shihuai was startled and yelled: "Madam."

Shu's mother looked at the cold-blooded man next to her with aggrieved eyes and shook her head, how could he do this?

Seeing that the situation was a little awkward for a while, Shu Wanwan stepped aside. At this time, Master Shu said bluntly:

"A few days ago, my daughter went to Shanping Town for a wedding visit. On her way back, she encountered a group of traffickers who imprisoned her, girls, and servants and prepared to sell them to the black market."

"Just when the little girl was trapped in a wolf's den and unable to save herself, she happened to meet a young girl on the road and discovered the clues of these gangsters. She rescued the little girl and her servant, and escaped, and then escorted them all the way to Kyoto. "

Master Ling paused and looked at Master Shu solemnly, "Do you know who this girl I am talking about is?"

Hearing this tone, Shu Shihuai's heart trembled, knowing that the girl in Lord Ling's mouth could not be his daughter Shu Yao who was destined to be evil, right?

Shu Shihuai said anxiously: "This..."

Master Ling ignored what he was going to say next and said directly: "The little girl said that it was Master Shu's legitimate daughter Shu Yao who saved her."

Shu Wanwan, who was standing aside, could no longer hold on to her face. She was so angry that she blushed. She dared to believe that their family was supporting Shu Yao and had a long face.

You Shuyao, you are so scheming. You know that it will be difficult to come back this time, so you found such a backer to support yourself. Do you think you can return home safely in this way?
