Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

"Why don't you wait for me to come with you?"

A familiar voice sounded behind her, making her almost jump.

Shen Luochen had gotten up without knowing when, leaning against the door frame with a faint smile on his lips, obviously in a good mood.

"You, how did you..." Su Liu stammered, not even daring to look back.

Shen Luochen walked over step by step, stood behind her, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her.

"Thank you, I'm very happy." His voice was very soft, "If you are still not sure about your feelings, that's okay, I can wait for you."

Hearing this, Su Liu's heart moved slightly.

She stood there, silent for a long time, and then, as if she had finally made up her mind, she turned around and hugged him back hard.

"Shen Luochen, I understand, I like you."

Su Liu's tone was very determined, even with an inexplicable determination.

She finally figured out that the annoyance she felt when seeing him getting close to others and the involuntary feeling last night could only be due to this reason.

Shen Luochen was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"really?"

Hearing this, Su Liu nodded without hesitation.

A happy smile gradually appeared on Shen Luochen's face, and he hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to rub her whole body into his chest.

"Well, I'm almost suffocating..." Su Liu weakly raised a hand.

Shen Luochen immediately let go of her, and the two looked at each other and laughed involuntarily at the same time. ,

After confirming his feelings, Su Liu became much more generous and no longer avoided getting along with Shen Luochen. The two of them stuck together almost all day long, like a glue.

Even the servants in the mansion began to feel strange. Why did the relationship between the young lady and the uncle suddenly become so good?

Su Tao didn't show up again after that. It seemed that she felt she had no face to show up again and slipped back to Xinghua Village.

Su Liu didn't even think about looking for her. Anyway, what she did didn't have any serious consequences, so just let her be.

On this day, she and Shen Luochen held hands and walked in the backyard again. This was their daily routine after meals.

Suddenly a guard ran over in a hurry and said to Su Liu:

"Miss, it's not good! Something happened to the Major General!"

Su Liu's face suddenly changed and he asked anxiously:

"What's going on? Didn't he go to Beijing to report on his work?"

The guard looked a little strange. He lowered his head and whispered:

"The general and his wife are already in the lobby. Miss, you'd better go and see for yourself..."

Hearing this, Su Liu's heart "thumped", and a very ominous premonition came over him.

You have to see it yourself to know how big of a deal it is.

She raised her head with a solemn expression, and Shen Luochen nodded to her, and the two of them hurried towards the lobby.

In the lobby, almost everyone in the mansion gathered, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Mrs. Li leaned in General Wen's arms and cried heartbrokenly. Wen Shiche and Wen Shiye stood aside, also crying.

"What happened?" Su Liu pulled Shen Luochen in and asked with a frown when seeing this situation.

"Liu'er." Wen Shiche raised his head, choked with sobs that he could hardly form words.     "Big brother, he is... gone."

Su Liu's whole body felt like he was struck by lightning, and his mind exploded with a "buzzing" sound.

The serious and steady Major General appeared in her mind again. He was a man of great talent and in his prime, how could it happen so suddenly...

Shen Luochen supported her considerately, as if he was worried that she would fall due to the heavy blow.

However, Su Liu was still much stronger than he thought. He regained consciousness almost quickly, but his eyes were full of tears.

"Brother, why is he missing?" She asked this question with difficulty.

Wen Shiye sighed heavily, his eyes filled with hatred.

"It must have been done by the governor of Hannan. My eldest brother went to report on his duties with him. How could a good man be assassinated?"

Hannan was the city where General Wen, Wen Shizhao, and Wen Shiye stayed when they went to the northwest to quell the Quanrong Rebellion. Therefore, the governor of Hannan, as a local official, also had to follow him to Beijing.

"I heard that he took all the credit for himself in front of the emperor!" General Wen hammered the table hard and gritted his teeth.

After listening to what a few people said, Su Liu understood what happened and was greatly shocked.

Is it possible to kill a person for so-called military merit?

"Thankfully, my eldest brother trusted him so much and never doubted him!" Wen Shiye also said angrily, his eyes almost bursting with fire.

When they were fighting enemies in the northwest, the Hannan governor ate and lived with them, leaving a very good impression on people. Only then did Wen Shizhao lower his guard against him, but he did not expect that he would be betrayed on his way back to Beijing.

Su Liu recalled what the old Taoist had predicted when he was at Jintaiguan. Unexpectedly, he actually got it right.

The battle in the northwest was indeed dangerous, but the Wen family came back intact. Unexpectedly, at this last critical step, they were stabbed in the back by those around them.

As I thought about it, a strong sense of self-blame came to my mind.

After all, they were careless and forgot to remind them to be careful about the people around them.

"But, can the emperor really not see the clues? How could he believe the words of the Hannan governor and give him a promotion?" Wen Shiche frowned, looking very puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luochen, who had been silent all this time, sneered and said:

"How could he not know? He's not stupid."

Everyone in the hall looked over, and no one expected that this man from the countryside would speak so highly of the current emperor.

"The general has made great achievements in battle, and the third son has shown bravery again this time. He feels that the Wen family tree is attracting wind, and he can't wait to prune the branches and leaves." Shen Luochen continued, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention others, even Su Liu felt a little surprised.

"You mean..."

Shen Luochen nodded and came to a ruthless conclusion:

"He deliberately pretended to be deaf and mute. Perhaps Hannan's governor's move was in line with his wishes. It's too late for him to be happy. How can he be held accountable?"

Everything he said made sense. Even though the Wen family had not originally thought of this direction, they had no choice but to believe it.

"So, the emperor knew that his eldest brother died unjustly, but turned a blind eye?" Veins popped up on Wen Shiye's forehead, and his fists were clenched so hard that they were about to bleed.

Shen Luochen didn't speak, but silence was the best explanation.

Su Liu's mood was also very complicated. Although she had long known from Shen Luochen that the emperor was a mediocre and unprincipled person, but now that the matter had really fallen on her, she seemed to understand Shen Luo Chen more deeply. Chen's hatred.
