Another day passed. Since the old man was busy with his birthday, the incident of Shen Chanyun's poisoning was put aside for the time being. Shen Chanli finally took a breath and rested in his room. He leaned against the window and sent some fruits. The magpie came, randomly grabbed an apple, took a bite, and asked Tang Wan'er what she thought about the poisoning incident.
"This...this, what do you want me to say?"
"Ms. Tang, don't you think this might be aimed at you?"
"How is that possible? I have no connection with your family. No one would murder me, an outsider. It must be an accident, right?"
"How can we say that we have no relatives? Leaving aside the fact that you helped me, the possible relationship between you and 'Rong Gu' makes it impossible for you, Miss Wan'er, to stay out of the matter."
"But Mr. Shen, didn't you say that only your eldest brother and aunts have seen that portrait... the others..."
"Think about it, of course the aunts will consider their own sons after seeing her, right? I have three brothers above me, and I won't just sit back and wait for death, giving up the position of inheriting the villa to others in vain."
"What does this mean?!"
Tang Wan'er was shocked. She didn't know what Shen Chanli's words meant. It seemed that everything was not that simple. There seemed to be a huge undercurrent surging under the peaceful manor. She could feel it now.
"The person who holds the Night Pearl is the heir to the Qinghe Villa of the Shen family. Without exception, this is the family motto set by the ancestor Shen Qinghe. This is one. Second, if you meet someone, you can be confirmed to be Rong Gu or Rong Gu. A person of Gu’s bloodline also has the right to inherit the Night Pearl.”
"Ah?! What? Mr. Shen, you mean..."
Tang Wan'er was shocked by this fact. She really had nothing to do with Rong Gu, so getting involved in the Shen family's inheritance battle just because of her appearance was no child's play.
"That is to say, Miss Wan'er, although you are a woman, you now have the same inheritance rights as our brothers, but my sisters do not. Seeing you and me getting closer, some people may not like it. Already."
Tang Wan'er couldn't see Shen Chanli clearly for a moment, and didn't know how he viewed her in the first place.
"So, when you brought me to the villa, you had already expected something like this to happen? Is it also for this reason?"
Tang Wan'er would feel sad when she thought that Shen Chanli was treated like this out of interest. She didn't want Shen Chanli to treat her like this.
"No." Shen Chanli hurriedly explained, for fear of causing Tang Wan'er to misunderstand, "I never told daddy about your appearance. I just thought that the meeting between you and me must be the intention of the Emperor of Heaven. Besides, the young master also likes the young lady very much. .On this point, please Miss Tang, please don’t doubt it!”
The unprovoked confession made Wan'er a little embarrassed, but compared to others, Tang Wan'er felt that Shen Chanli was trustworthy, so she also told what she had seen before.
"So, is it possible that Chanjuan did it? It's not impossible. In short, Miss Tang must be more careful these days, but don't worry, young master, I will protect you."
He held her hand and said it sincerely.
At this time, the ignorant magpie came to report that the master was going to invite Tang Wan'er to sit down for a while. Shen Chanli frowned because he didn't know what kind of medicine his father was selling in his gourd.
