Chapter 117

Shen Ling lay on the bed again. This time he was really beaten half to death. In addition, everyone knew that it was General Gu who beat him, so no doctor was willing to come to bandage his wounds. He could not bear the pain and had to take magic medicine to relieve the pain.

Shen Ling's wounds were all bleeding, and Xu Yan found it really creepy. She could only ask someone to find a veterinarian to roughly bandage Shen Ling's wounds.

Xu Yan's mind has not been on Shen Ling recently. She was lucky to find a very good teacher for Shen Shaobai. She sent her son to the teacher to study every day. After a few days, she felt that her son had changed a lot. She felt that her whole life had hope.

When Yurong asked Xu Yan if she wanted to run away, Xu Yan refused.

"Yurong, where can we run now? General Gu has returned. He has already troubled the prince. He is a real man. Since he did not trouble me and Bo Ge'er, then Bo Ge'er and I will be safe in Kyoto from now on."

"Although the Zhenbei Marquisate is now an empty shell, it will be different if Brother Bo inherits the title."

What Xu Yan said made sense, and Yurong had no other choice.

Xu Yan was right. Ever since General Gu came and beat Shen Ling up, no one has come to trouble Shen Ling anymore, and they have been living a very comfortable life.

The only bad thing is that they have no money.

Xu Yan asked Yurong to go find the silver, and when Yurong came back, her face looked very ugly.

"Miss, it's gone. All the money is gone."

Xu Yan was a little puzzled: "Why is it gone?"

Yurong shook her head: "I don't know either. I am the only one who knows where the silver is. But I have never told anyone. But when I went to look for it, nothing was there."

Yurong was a little frightened when she said this. She knelt down with a plop and said, "Master, I really didn't steal from the company!"

At this time, Yurong and Xu Yan both thought of the silver that was originally placed in Shen Ling's study.

Qingshan and Qingfeng were guarding outside the study, but the silver note disappeared right under their noses. Shen Ling and Lord Shen both believed that it was Xu Yan who asked Qingshan and Qingfeng to take the silver note, and they have not been able to clear themselves of this crime until now.

"Yurong, get up. I have absolute trust in you. There must be something wrong here."

Xu Yan reached out her hand and helped Yurong up: "Yurong, the four of you grew up with me. I treat you four as my own sisters and brothers. Anyone may betray me, but you won't. Now that I have lost Qingshan and Qingfeng, I can't lose you and Yuzhen again."

Yurong was very moved, and she began to think hard about what went wrong.

Gu Nianchu was dumbfounded when she received dozens of boxes of silver.

"what happened?"

Han Chan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Qi's people followed your instructions and kept an eye on the people around Xu Yan. They found the silver she had hidden, so His Royal Highness Prince Qi had someone deliver it to you, young lady. His Royal Highness Prince Qi told you to use it to buy some jewelry, clothes, etc. that you like."

Gu Nianchu smiled and said, "Is this a betrothal gift?" Han Chan smiled and said, "How can this be enough for a betrothal gift? His Royal Highness Prince Qi has a yard full of good things now. He is still sending people to look for good things everywhere, and he is waiting to give you a betrothal gift so that you will be satisfied. His Royal Highness Prince Qi said that this is just a small amount of money to buy you some small things."

If Xu Yan heard this, she would probably be furious.

Gu Nianchu accepted the silver that Zhou Yuchen had someone send over and had someone count it. There were actually more than 300,000 taels. No wonder it was said that the Liu family had more silver hidden than the national treasury. Xu Yan was just a cousin of the Liu family, but she could hide so much silver. It was really astonishing.

Gu Nianchu also knew one thing. Shen Shaobai had been very resentful towards Shen Ling as his father recently. A very terrible idea had emerged in his mind. When Gu Nianchu heard the news, it added fuel to the fire.

Someone accidentally found out Shen Shaobai's identity when chatting with Shen Shaobai's teacher, and couldn't help but sigh and said it was a pity several times.

Shen Shaobai couldn't help but ask the guest as he was seeing him off: "Uncle, why did you say it was a pity just now?"

The man glanced around and saw that there was no one around. He squatted beside Shen Shaobai and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Shaobai, you have outstanding talent. If you didn't have such a notorious father, your future achievements would be higher than the third son of the Xie family."

Xie Jinghong, the third son of the Xie family, was extremely talented at a young age. He was chosen to be the prince's companion and was admired by young people all over the world.

Shen Shaobai often heard people mention Shen Shaobai. There was a fierceness on his little face that was inconsistent with his age.

"Uncle, could you teach me?"

The guest sighed, "Ah, what can you do at such a young age? It's a pity that your father has really made you suffer! It's better to be an orphan than to have such a father."

The guests left, leaving the little child standing in the Master's yard, lost in thought for a long time.

"Miss, the young master is less than six years old this year. He wouldn't really have the idea of ​​killing his father, right?"

Han Chan was still a little uncertain, Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "Who knows, some people are born bad, they don't become bad only when they get older."

In his previous life, Shen Shaobai had many bad habits when he was young. Gu Nianchu spent a lot of effort to correct his bad habits. Strictly speaking, it was not corrected but just made him know that it was wrong and covered it up. In the end, he still brought poison and poured it into the mouth of his stepmother.

A father who can only bring him shame, a father who will hinder his future, does not deserve to live.

When Xu Yan saw her son coming back and not saying anything, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Brother Bo, what's wrong with you? Did the teacher scold you?"

Xu Yan asked her son carefully. Shen Shaobai looked up and said to Xu Yan, "Mother, why do I have such a notorious father? With him, will I always be laughed at? Will I never be able to stand out?"

When Xu Yan heard her son's childish question, her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "Brother Bo, it's all mother's fault."

Shen Shaobai said sternly, "Mother, this is not your fault. You are just a woman, and you cannot control these things. The one who is wrong is father. He is the one who put us in such a situation! As long as he is alive, we will be criticized. If he is gone, those who criticize us will sympathize with us."
