In the Lanting Pavilion courtyard, a group of men hurried in and out, carrying basket after basket of smokeless silver charcoal.
Shen Xu fell asleep on the soft couch, and several tall Qianjiang Tianxue four-dish screens carried by the servants of the Qu family stood around him to resist the breeze.
Shen Shuangcheng ran after Yun Ri. When he saw the appearance of the courtyard from a distance, his eyebrows tightened and he said, "Shen'er!"
Shen Xu's clothes had been changed, and several soldiers were wiping his hair. Shen Shuangcheng grabbed his hand, and the cold fingers without any warmth made Shen Shuangcheng panicked: "Shen'er! Dad is here. , Dad finally found you! How did you become like this, who pushed you into the water!"
Shen Xu didn't respond at all, his face was pale, and his lips were lifeless. Shen Shuangcheng looked at his face, and then looked down at the cracked skin like bark on his hands. Shen Shuangcheng felt a pain in his heart and his eyes were filled with tears. turn red.
"Dad, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you..." Shen Shuangcheng murmured and choked.
The sun was getting warmer and warmer, and the silver charcoal steam was steaming, making the soldiers around him sweat profusely.
Shen Xu's soft long hair was finally completely dry, and his complexion had improved, but he kept his eyes closed and showed no signs of waking up.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie walked out of Lanting Pavilion and immediately saw the loving father in the five screens with thousands of rivers, sky and snow.
Xia Zhaoyi's bright eyes turned slightly and looked towards Shen Lie.
The young man's cold and handsome face had no ripples at all, no complex meaning at all. He just looked at his father and brother in the distance indifferently.
"Second Miss."
"General Shen."
When the soldiers of the Xia Family Army and the subordinates of the Qu Mansion saw them, they shouted.
Shen Shuangcheng raised his head after hearing this, his eyebrows turned hard and hateful. As he watched them walking step by step, his fingers became harder and harder, almost crushing Shen Shu's finger bones.
Xia Zhaoyi glanced at Shen Xu who was sitting on the soft couch. The father and son had similar facial features but completely different temperaments.
Shen Shuangcheng is currently furious, like a ferocious tiger, arrogant and arrogant.
Shen Shu or due to long-term illness, tends to be soft, beautiful and cold.
Shen Lie is young and vigorous, with a sharp cold aura. Whether he speaks or does not speak, strangers and acquaintances should not come near him.
"Shen Lie!" Shen Shuangcheng said sternly, "Shen Shu is your brother, and he has always treated you well! He has been suffering from long-term illness, and you know it better than anyone else, yet you allow this woman to treat him like this!"
"Are you going to take him away?" Shen Lie asked.
"What? You want to continue to imprison your elder brother!"
Shen Lie frowned slightly and looked at Shen Shu.
This was the first time he saw his brother after many years since the collapse of His Majesty Qianqiu.
The deep understanding he had back then was exactly the age he is now.
However, perhaps because he had been here last time, standing across the wall outside the dark room and listening to his brother's voice talking inside, so now that he saw him again, Shen Lie didn't feel a strong undercurrent in his heart.
"This sounds really awkward," Xia Zhaoyi said, "What does it mean to always be kind to Shen Lie? The word 'not kind' is not equivalent. Either superior versus inferior, respect versus inferior, rich versus poor, or charity. How can any brother of the same generation use the word "not too generous" to express kindness and help in times of danger? Could it be that Shen Xu sacrificed his life to save Shen Lie when he was about to die?"
"It's not equal," Shen Shuangcheng sneered, looking at Shen Lie intently, "Drunk deer bloodline, born low! I heard that you chopped off your uncle's fingers in the street last year. Your ungrateful act is indeed the tradition of the Guo family. It’s not in vain for them to pick you up and raise you up!”
"That's even funnier," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Then what's the point of Shen Xu's kindness towards Shen Lie?"
"Shut up!" Shen Shuangcheng glared at Xia Zhaoyi.
"You are so presumptuous!" Zhan Ning shouted to Shen Shuangcheng from behind Xia Zhaoyi.
Shen Lie said calmly: "We are now in Xia Jiajun's territory. I advise you to be self-aware."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, put her hands behind her hands and walked to the other side of Shen Xu's soft couch, looking down at Shen Xu's sleeping face.
"Do you also know that your eldest son is ill? He is really careless. He is seriously ill, but he prefers to wander around. Look, what's wrong with me entrusting him to recuperate here? Qu Mansion spent a lot of money to build a mansion. Go and get the Feng Shui, the courtyards and pavilions are all made by skilled craftsmen, every detail is exquisitely crafted, the sun is shining brightly, the snow is white and the flowers are white. Has such an excellent holy place for healing become a prison in front of your mouth?"
Shen Shuangcheng laughed and said coldly: "Why, I have to thank you."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled brightly: "What are you thanking me for? I do it for Shen Lie's sake, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhan Ning said in a deep voice: "The pills your precious son takes and the patches he applies are also made by our second lady. The doctor was hired by the second lady, and the place was chosen by the second lady. The meals are exquisite and everything is exquisite. .Imprisonment? Throw you into Hengxiang Prison for a few days and let you see what it means to be imprisoned!"
"That's nice!" Shen Shuangcheng yelled angrily, "Then how did my son fall into the water?! Look at his sick appearance, and then look at this blood-soaked suit! Is this the hypocritical recuperation you say?!"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Ban Rong.
Ban Rong immediately said: "These days, Mr. Shen Dalang has been well and has no cough. Today I took him for a walk by the back pool. Mrs. Qu sent someone over and said that Mr. Shen's father, Mr. Shen, was here and asked me to take him. When we got back to the house, he suddenly started coughing and poured warm water on me. When I wasn't prepared, he got up and jumped into the pond!"
"Shut up!" Shen Shuangcheng stood up emotionally, "What do you mean? Are you saying that Shuer jumped into the lake by himself?"
Xia Zhaoyi said calmly: "If we want to harm Shen Xu, why should we choose a day when you are here, and why should we do it in a way that attracts attention like falling into the water?"
"You may not have pushed him into the lake with your own hands, but," Shen Shuangcheng glared at Ban Rong, "it's unclear whether you did something to force him to jump into the lake."
Ban Rong glanced at him and said to Xia Zhaoyi: "Second Miss, I didn't do anything."
"This move does seem like Shen Shu's move," Shen Lie said, "He is good at this move."
"Shen Lie, you unfilial son!" Shen Shuangcheng was furious.
"It is indeed unfilial," Shen Lie looked at him, "The name of being unfilial does not hurt me. You might as well find other words to scold me."
"Is this how Guo taught you? Shameless, shameless and vulgar! Very good. Indeed, only an old beast like Guo Shu can teach a scum like you!"
"That's enough," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "Shen Shuangcheng, you yell and curse and you look like a shameless and vulgar person. You don't have any stability at all. How old are you? "
"You turned my son into this, and you still blame me for not being good-looking!? If Duke Ding was still alive and he was bullied like this, how could you keep calm!"
"Are you worthy of nominating the Duke?" Shen Lie shouted in a deep voice.
The surrounding soldiers of the Xia Family Army were furious. If the girl hadn't been standing here, if they had heard these words, they would have rushed up and fought with them to death.
