Ban Xia couldn't help but glance at Shen Ruoyan secretly. No one made a sound for a while, and the room was extremely quiet.
Shen Ruoyan looked at Shen Xingwan quietly, "Young lady is humbled."
Shen Xingwan sighed inwardly. She was indeed a member of the Shen family that had produced numerous stunningly talented and beautiful girls. Such a quiet and unassuming concubine could speak astonishingly as soon as she opened her mouth.
"My aunt was rescued when the master was on his way back to Beijing." Shen Ruoyan said calmly, "My aunt told me that she deliberately designed it."
Shen Xingwan said "Oh" coldly, looking uninterested.
Shen Ruoyan's eyelashes trembled and she continued, "Because she was being hunted and had no other way out, so she was seduced by her beauty. She originally planned to use Shen's mansion to avoid the limelight while she was trying to find a way to leave. Who knew she would have me later."
In the end, the eldest man's sixth concubine had no intention of competing for favor because her child was left behind, and she focused on raising Shen Ruoyan.
"Who is she being chased by?" Shen Xingwan finally asked.
"Dauchi guard." Shen Ruoyan said softly.
Shen Xingwan finally became interested, "Why?"
"Because she was a secret guard who was trained by the Dragon Guard who was affiliated with Emperor Daqi." Shen Ruoyan's voice was a little cold, "Auntie, she has no past and no family. She is just a murderous sword in the hands of the emperor."
As for why he was being hunted, Shen Xingwan didn't ask.
"My aunt has taught me a lot since I was a child, and she wants me to be able to protect myself at all times." Shen Ruoyan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Xingwan, "Although I'm not sure what the girl is doing, I know whether the girl is Same."
Her aunt was the only female leader in the Dragon Guard at that time, so she was naturally very capable.
Shen Ruoyan got her true biography, and because of his natural intelligence and ability to calm down and observe, he had long been keenly aware of Shen Xingwan's difference.
Shen Xingwan did not deny that there is never a shortage of geniuses and smart people in this world, and Shen Ruoyan should also be in this range.
"If it were your aunt here, I might consider it." Shen Xingwan said coldly, "The Emperor's Dragon Guard does have something, but you are just a flower kept in the inner courtyard of the boudoir."
It is dangerous to follow her. Such flowers cannot withstand the wind and rain outside.
Shen Ruoyan said persistently, "I can prove it, as long as you give me a chance."
"Isn't it good to be safe and sound?" Shen Xingwan asked back.
"Why is that girl uneasy?" Shen Ruoyan asked unconvinced.
Shen Xingwan smiled instantly, but she was a good-tempered and stubborn little girl.
"Let me think about it." Shen Xingwan finally said.
Shen Ruoyan looked at her for a while and then stood up, "Don't deal with me, think carefully. I'll wait for your answer."
"This is really..." Dongqing stuttered a little. She had been in the Shen Mansion since she was a child. She didn't expect that Miss Seven, who had always been quiet and well-behaved, would turn out to be like this.
"Is Sixth Aunt still there?" Shen Xingwan asked. There were many people in the Shen family and their relationships were complicated. She had never paid much attention to the aunts of the elders.
Qinghong recalled carefully, "Yes, but it seems that he is no longer in the house."
"Where have you gone?"
"It seems that he was haunted by nightmares or possessed by evil spirits. Anyway, he moved to a small monastery that he had never heard of two years ago to eat fast and chant Buddha." Qinghong said.
Anyway, Sixth Yiniang has always been cold and indifferent, not fighting or grabbing. Since she has this intention, the eldest lady is not embarrassed and is happy to do it.
Qinghong asked curiously, "Miss, will you agree to Miss Seven?"
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait."
When the Sixth Yiniang comes to find her in person, the key to this matter lies with the Sixth Yiniang.
Liuying is in Mobei and cannot leave easily unless something serious happens.
Although the Shen family's ANBU listens to her, they also listen to the old lady. In the final analysis, they are not her only force.
She really lacks a force that belongs to her completely. Although there is Jinghongshan Villa, it is impossible for people in the world to always be by her side.
————————————
Before waiting for Sixth Yiniang to come, I first waited for the Chinese New Year.
The Shen Mansion and even the whole of Jiangnan were not affected by the northwest at all, and they were still lively and festive.
Nothing happened to Shen Xing in the evening, and he celebrated the New Year happily following the procedures in the house.
On New Year's Eve, I even went to see the lively lantern festival with the girls and boys of the Shen family.
The whole night in Jiangnan was very lively with trees and silver flowers.
Shen Xingwan held a cute rabbit lantern in his hand, with a smile on his face, but he still felt unhappy in his heart.
I don’t know if we will be able to have such liveliness and prosperity next year.
It was already dark when they returned to the yard. Qinghong came out to take the lamp and toys from Shen Xingwan's hand, and whispered in her ear, "The person you were waiting for has arrived."
Shen Xingwan went directly to the study.
Sixth Yiniang, dressed in plain clothes, was waiting for her in the guest room, looking at her with a calm and cold look.
"I've seen the girl." Sixth Yiniang stood up and saluted.
Shen Xingwan asked as he untied his cloak, "How should I call my aunt?"
"When I was in Longwei, my code name was Qingque, and later I named myself Zhehua." Liu Yiniang said quietly, the name has no meaning to a person like her.
"What do you think of Miss Seven?" Shen Xingwan asked.
Sixth Yiniang said calmly, "Actually, I chose the eldest master back then because, as a Dragon Guard, I often dealt with people from the Shen family's Anbu when I was working for the emperor."
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Those who were ordered to hunt him down never thought that she would choose to enter the Shen family.
"Ruoyan has been kneeling in front of my door for a whole day. My only concern in this life is this daughter." Liu Yiniang's expression softened.
"May I ask if the head of the Shen family is in the hands of a girl now?"
Although it was a question, Liu Yiniang's tone was indeed affirmative.
To be one of the four leaders of the Dragon Guard, Liu Yiniang definitely knows a lot of inside information. She has stayed in the Shen Mansion for so many years, so she can guess some things.
Shen Xingwan said nothing.
Both parties know it well, and silence at this time is acquiescence.
Sixth Yiniang sneered, "Ruoyan didn't pick the wrong person."
Speaking of which, Long Wei and the Royal Family still owed her life.
After so many years, she has given up on her fate. As long as Shen Ruoyan is safe and happy, she will be satisfied.
Who knew that the summit would take a turn and give her another chance.
"I grew up in the Dragon Guard. In addition to being good at assassination, I am mainly responsible for the training of newcomers to the Dragon Guard." Liu Yiniang said softly, "If the girl needs a secret guard that belongs only to you and serves you, maybe I can give it a try."
"The premise is that the girl provides the right person and gives her full support."
Shen Xingwan was silent for a moment, then showed his first sincere smile tonight, "Auntie, if you are willing, it would be my honor."
"Are you willing to let Miss Seventh go?"
Sixth Yiniang smiled lightly and said, "If it is the path she wants to take, I support it."
She spent the first half of her life in darkness, killing people to the point of numbness, and was trapped here for the second half of her life.
Now, her daughter wants to fly.
She doesn't want to break her wings, she just wants to do her best to fulfill her.
The freedom and love she never got.
Her daughter would not be too sorry if she got it.
★The Jiangnan part is basically over, the overt and hidden lines have been revealed. The heroine’s power network has taken shape.
