Chapter 91: A woman who is disappointed in a man can do anything
"My Lord, Prince, something bad has happened. The silver is missing!"

The servant reported with a pale face.

Before Lord Shen and Shen Ling could speak, the Wang family members beside them burst into laughter: "Hahaha, what did we say when we came here? They really dared to say that the banknote disappeared and refused to return it."

"The Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion is really great. They don't care about their reputation at all. If that's the case, then let's go and file a complaint with the emperor!"

The Wang family did not argue with the Shen father and son, but went straight to file a complaint. Others might not be able to see the emperor at this time, but the Taifu was the emperor's teacher. Once he knelt at the palace gate, the emperor would have to get up and summon him even if the emperor and the empress were making love on the dragon bed.

Lord Shen and Shen Ling were horrified and hurriedly ran to pull the Wang family away. Lord Shen almost knelt down in front of the Grand Tutor and said, "Grand Tutor, this is all a misunderstanding. Please calm down and give us some time. We will definitely return the betrothal gifts in full!"

Wang Taifu sighed, "Lord Shen, I didn't want to have such a quarrel with you. After all, I almost became a relative of the Marquis's family. Now I will give you three days. If you don't return the betrothal gifts within three days, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Tutor Wang left with his son, and the people around him dispersed.

Shen Ling helped Lord Shen back to the mansion. Lord Shen asked Shen Ling in a low voice: "Ling'er, where is the banknote?"

Shen Ling was also a little uncertain: "Father, let's go back and take a look first."

He had collected the banknotes himself and just asked a servant to get them. It is possible that the servant did not hear clearly.

Shen Ling took Lord Shen to get the banknotes in person. Looking at the empty iron box, Shen Ling's face changed: "Father, the banknotes are gone!"

Lord Shen pushed Shen Ling away and said, "What happened? How could the banknotes be missing? Where did you put them?"

Shen Ling's study has always been guarded by guards, how could he disappear?

Lord Shen even wondered if Shen Ling said that on purpose.

"Dad, I don't know either. After I got the banknotes, I put them here and asked Qingshan Qingfeng and the others to guard them."

Shen Ling called Qingshan and Qingfeng: "Has anyone come in?"

Qingshan and Qingfeng both shook their heads at the same time: "No, except for Li Chuan who came in with your token, no one else has come in."

Qingshan and Qingfeng answered calmly, which made Shen Ling's face even uglier.

No one has come in.

His eyes scanned Qingshan and Qingfeng's faces: "Is it you?"

Qingshan and Qingfeng knelt down at the same time: "Sir, we dare not betray you!"

Shen Ling's face was very ugly: "You said no one has come in, then tell me, where did the banknote go? Did it fly away?"

Qingshan and Qingfeng looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Shen Ling no longer believed in Qingshan and Qingfeng.

"If you don't take out the banknotes, I will let you know what will happen to those who betray their master!"

Qingshan and Qingfeng knelt on the ground and refused to admit anything, so Shen Ling had them arrested and tortured. The two did not dare to resist, but no matter how they were beaten, they said they knew nothing.

Lord Shen's expression was also very unpleasant: "Ling'er, do you think these two guards would dare to do this?"

Shen Ling didn't dare to look into Lord Shen's eyes: "Father, Yan'er is sincere to me, she won't..."

Lord Shen said coldly: "Ling'er, she might not have done this before, but yesterday you pushed her to block the knife for you. Do you think a woman who is disappointed in a man can do such a thing? Think carefully about how Gu treated you in the past, and how Gu treats you now!" Shen Ling was speechless.

"Father, I'll go ask Yan'er."

Shen Ling went to Xu Yan's room like a walking corpse, while Zhuier and Yurong stayed in the room.

"Your Highness, my young lady is seriously injured. She was in so much pain that she couldn't fall asleep last night. She barely fell asleep this morning. Please don't disturb our young lady while she recovers."

Zhuier went straight forward and stopped Shen Ling, preventing him from visiting Xu Yan.

Shen Ling's face turned cold: "How dare you!"

Zhuier bit her lower lip and refused to move away. Shen Ling pushed Zhuier away and said, "Yan'er is my prince's lover. She naturally wants me to come and see her. You two can leave."

Zhuier refused, but Yurong next to her pulled her back.

"Zhui'er, the prince is right, let's withdraw."

Yurong pulled Zhuier away without saying a word.

Shen Ling sat down in front of Xu Yan's bed: "Yan'er, I'm here to see you. I know you are awake. You are angry with me and you don't want to see me."

"Yan'er, this is all my fault. I apologize to you here."

Shen Ling stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Yan: "Yan'er, I was so scared at the time. After the incident, I was so heartbroken that I couldn't sleep all night. I hated myself. How could I do such a thing? Yan'er, I'm sorry. I will treat you well and make it up to you in the future. Please forgive me, okay?"

Xu Yan's eyelashes trembled.

Shen Ling did not stand up: "Yan'er, if you refuse to forgive me, then I will kneel down forever."

As Shen Ling said this, he actually knelt down.

Xu Yan couldn't help it anymore, she opened her eyes and cried, "Husband, please get up quickly."

"Yan'er, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up."

Shen Ling said firmly, and Xu Yan sighed: "Husband, I have never blamed you. I am very pleased to be able to protect you."

Shen Ling stood up and wanted to hug Xu Yan, but Xu Yan had a wound on her abdomen, so he could only hold Xu Yan's hand tightly and talk to her.

"Yan'er, following me has made you suffer. Since you entered the Marquis' Mansion, you have not had a good day. I really feel guilty."

Shen Ling put Xu Yan's hand to his lips and kissed it, and tears seemed to be in his eyes.

Xu Yan showed a sad smile: "Husband, I know everything. You are just in trouble temporarily now. Yan'er believes that husband will stand on top in the future."

Shen Ling said with a sad face: "Yan'er, I am sorry for you. I can't let you live a good life. The Marquis's Mansion may collapse."

Xu Yan was a little puzzled: "Husband, what's wrong?"

Shen Ling smiled bitterly, "Master Taifu just brought his family to cancel the engagement, saying that Jiaojiao was very unfilial and they couldn't marry an unfilial daughter into the Wang family, so they wanted to cancel the engagement. Father had no choice but to agree to cancel the engagement and return the 200,000 yuan betrothal gift. But I put the banknote in the study, and now it's gone."

Xu Yan was shocked and her wound hurt so much that she couldn't help but hissed, "Husband, how could this happen? Aren't there guards outside the study? Why did the banknote disappear?"
