After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 28 Trust in Si Yan reaches its peak

Si Yan came back from the training ground and ran straight here. He was still wearing armor and looked so majestic that anyone who saw him would shrink back. Shen Ning seemed to have seen a savior: "Husband, you are finally here."

Si Yan asked a female guard beside him to take Shen Rou, then took Shen Ning's hand and said decisively: "Let's go."

Guo didn't expect Si Yan to get involved. She wanted to warn Shen Rou, but didn't want to really drive him out. But if she tried to stop him, there would be no hope if Si Yan just stood there.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I only asked Shen Rou to copy the Buddhist scriptures because she made a mistake. Don't I even have the right to teach my own daughter-in-law a lesson? General Si allowed his wife to cause a scene in the ancestral hall and even led troops to break in. Now he wants to take the people from the Duke's Mansion away. Aren't you afraid that the Duke will report it to the emperor and report you in the court?"

Si Yan paused, turned around and glanced at her, saying indifferently: "Whatever."

Si Yan protected Shen Ning when she went out and stood beside her with an absolutely protective attitude. At this moment, Shen Ning's trust in Si Yan reached its peak. If it could continue like this, it would actually be good.

After going out, Shen Ning actually wanted to take Shen Rou to the general's mansion, but she knew that this was inappropriate, so she could only go back to Xuanping Marquis Mansion first.

After entering the mansion, when she explained the whole story, Zhong Wanqing almost burst into tears, and the others...

Because of what happened at the flower-viewing banquet yesterday, Shen Hong already disliked Shen Ning, and now with the addition of Shen Rou, he was even more furious.

In his opinion, Shen Rou's harsh treatment was her own fault. She didn't know how to please her husband, wasn't considerate of her mother-in-law, and failed to give birth to a son to please the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Ning directly expressed his thoughts: "Sister must divorce this time, at any cost."

Hearing the word divorce, not only Shen Hong was dumbfounded, but also Ji Jinzhi and Shen Yuyao who came late were dumbfounded. Shen Hong glared at him and said, "Nonsense, our Shen family has never had a girl who divorced. If you don't feel ashamed, I will feel ashamed."

Ji Jinzhi was also annoyed: "That's right, and Yuyao is going to marry into the Duke's Mansion. If the relationship is so strained, how can we get along in the future?"

Shen Yuyao still resents Shen Ning for what happened last night. She has no hope of finding a better family now, so she must hold on to Rong Jingyi. At least he is devoted to her now, and if nothing unexpected happens, their marriage is almost a foregone conclusion.

She quickly chimed in: "That's right, I can't hold on to my man's heart, I can't blame anyone, and I dare to come back to trouble us."

Shen Ning sneered: "Fool, you thought the Duke's Mansion was some blessed place."

Shen Rou was already so pathetic, and she was being scolded here. Seeing this, Zhong Wanqing could no longer hold back and slapped Shen Yuyao in the face: "How dare you! What qualifications do you have to say that about Rou'er?"

Seeing her precious daughter being beaten, Ji Jinzhi screamed: "Ah!"

Shen Hong reacted the fastest and slapped her back: "You bitch!"

Seeing his mother being beaten, Shen Ning raised his hand without hesitation and slapped Shen Hong hard: "Why do you hit my mother!"

Shen Hong covered his face and looked at Shen Ning in disbelief: "You are an unfilial daughter."

As he spoke, he was about to raise his hand, but before the slap landed, a scream was heard.

Si Yan pulled Shen Ning's arm and kicked Shen Hong in the chest, staring at him with cold eyes, "You thought I was dead."

The farce ended with Si Yan's kick. After that, no one dared to say anything more. Shen Ning directly expressed her thoughts: "I will definitely not go back to the Duke's Mansion. Sister, stay at home first and recuperate. Then we can talk about the divorce."

After all, divorce is a matter between husband and wife. In Shen Rou's current state, it is difficult for her to walk, let alone confront each other. Zhong Wanqing also agreed, and the matter was settled.

At night, Shen Ning and Si Yan returned to the mansion, leaving a team of guards to protect Shen Rou. After a few days of rest, Shen Rou's condition was getting better day by day, but the people in the Duke's Mansion could not sit still. Seeing that her mother was going to pick up Shen Rou, Rong Wan'er really didn't understand: "Mom, it's already like this, why do you still pick her up? You always say that big brother needs her, but I don't think big brother cares much. From last night to now, he hasn't been affected at all."

She really didn't understand. No one in the family liked her. With her brother's family background and appearance, he could find someone in the capital who was better than Shen Rou.

Guo glared at her and said, "You don't understand. Alright, tell someone to prepare dinner. Make it rich tonight."

Rong Wan'er nodded: "But, mother, are you so sure that Shen Rou will come back? What if she is determined not to come back?"

Guo smiled and shook her head: "No."

Rong Wan'er didn't understand, and didn't want to bother herself with it, so she sent her mother out: "By the way, I heard Xiaoman crying loudly just now, I'll go over to check on her later."

She doesn't like her sister-in-law, but she likes her niece very much.

Upon hearing this, Guo, who had been calm and composed just now, immediately clenched Rong Wan'er's hand and forced a smile: "No need to go over there, there are people watching over there, if you have nothing to do, just go out for a walk."

Rong Wan'er was confused: "Oh, then, okay then."

The Shen Mansion was guarded by Si Yan's men, so Guo naturally couldn't get in. She was not in a hurry. She just took out a small box and asked Shen Yuyao to give it to Shen Rou. Shen Yuyao still wanted to rely on the Duke's Mansion, so naturally she agreed.

But what she didn't expect was that after the box was sent in, Shen Rou suddenly ran out like crazy, and no one could stop her.

Shen Yuyao was shocked when she saw it, and those who didn’t know would think that it contained her life force.

When Shen Rou appeared, Guo was sitting in the carriage calmly. Shen Rou rushed over, shaking Guo's shoulders, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "You beast, you are Xiaoman's grandmother, how could you treat her like this? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

Guo took the box from her hand slowly and opened it. The smell of blood immediately filled the air. Inside was a severed finger. The finger was thin and small, and the nails were stained red. It was the red color that Shen Rou had used flower petals to paint on the beautiful Xiaoman half a month ago.

When Shen Rou left decisively, she was not too worried about Xiaoman. Even if they disliked her, they were still her relatives. But she did not expect that this group of people could be so cold-blooded.

Guo closed the box and said slowly, "I will have many grandchildren in the future. She is just a little girl. It won't be a big deal if she dies."

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Shen Rou's eyes: "Who made her mother disobey? Don't you think so? Now, I just want to ask you one question, do you want to go back with me?"

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Shen Rou went to look for Xiaoman first. The child was not in her own courtyard and was most likely at Rongjingtang.

She rushed straight into the courtyard of Rongjingtang and pushed the door open without saying a word. But before she could call her precious daughter's name, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

There were two people lying on the bed where she and Rong Jingtang had spent their wedding night.

After marrying into the Duke's Mansion, the only thing to be thankful for was that Rong Jingtang never took a concubine, so Shen Rou didn't have to compete with other women for favor. This was one of the reasons why she always had hope.

But even so, Rong Jingtang was still not warm to her.

At this moment, she finally knew the reason.

Shen Rou covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief, and it took her two seconds to find her voice: "Meng Yu, you..."
