Daughter of General

Chapter 142 The Choice of Being a Father
The next morning, Shen Junzhi came to see Shen Yulan.His eyes were bloodshot and red.And his face was even more haggard after staying up all night.

Obviously, Shen Junzhi should not have slept all night.

Seeing Shen Yulan, she whispered to Lianxin: "Go make a cup of refreshing tea." Then he asked Shen Junzhi: "Father, can I have breakfast? If not, why not use it here?"

Shen Junzhi nodded: "Alright."

Shen Yulan asked the girl to go over and tell Jin He that she didn't have to come, and then she set up the dishes and had breakfast with Shen Junzhi.

"When did you and Gu Meng meet?" Shen Junzhi suddenly asked in the middle of eating.

Shen Yulan swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, and then answered in a straightforward manner: "Father still remembers that time when I came to Beijing, I almost died after a narrow escape? At that time, I just took a Gu Meng’s carriage went into the city. But after that, we have never seen each other, and no one knows anyone. Later, when we had a banquet at home, we met behind my wife. Later, the Gu family sent a post to invite our family The female relatives went to admire the flowers, and I went with them once. Including yesterday, we only met four times in total."

When saying these words, the corners of Shen Yulan's lips were always raised in a half-smile.As if with a slight sarcasm.

Fortunately, Shen Jun didn't keep staring at Shen Yulan, otherwise, he might feel uncomfortable again.As for Shen Yulan's "explanation", Shen Junzhi just said a little uncomfortably "So that's how it is", and there was no other words after that.

"Gu Meng's meaning does not mean the meaning of the Gu family. If the Gu family really intends to marry us, it's a good thing. But - I'm afraid it's not suitable for you and him." Shen Junzhi hesitated for a while, and then said In such a sentence.

The sarcasm on Shen Yulan's lips widened, but her voice was smiling: "Father is absolutely right."

Shen Junzhi was flustered: "No, I didn't mean that. What I mean is that Gu Meng has been loved by thousands since he was a child, and he must be arrogant. And we can't suppress such a family, taking concubines or something, I'm afraid it's not for us to have the final say. So, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. It's completely different from what you want—"

"I think so too. So father don't have to worry, I won't rob Shen Yushan." Shen Yulan continued to laugh, her voice still calm.However, only she knew in her heart that she was actually quite unhappy.It's just that in front of Shen Junzhi, she tried to be brave and refused to let him see the slightest clue.

Obviously, in this matter, Shen Junzhi was biased towards Shen Yushan.Of course, it may be for the sake of everyone's reputation.She understands all of this.It's just that she still has a heart for Shen Junzhi's attitude as if she did something to snatch Shen Yushan's husband-in-law.

Shen Junzhi didn't believe her.Shen Junzhi always felt that she was taking revenge on Shen Yushan.

In the past, Shen Junzhi protected her because Guo's mother and daughter were indeed too much, and in addition, it was her interests that were violated.Moreover, she and Shen Yushan did not have too direct or too intense conflicts.Therefore, Shen Junzhi can't see anything, it seems that he treats the two daughters equally.

But now... Shen Junzhi felt that Shen Yushan had become the victim.So that bias is revealed.

Shen Junzhi's attitude this time is completely different from before.

"I didn't mean that." Shen Junzhi seemed a little frustrated: "I just—"

"I understand." Shen Yulan lowered her eyelashes slightly, with a smile on her face, trying her best to look calm and indifferent: "That should be Gu Meng's young and frivolous words, just for fun. Father If you're worried, why don't you go to Gu's house in person to settle Yushan's marriage."

"But you—" Shen Junzhi hesitated a little.

Shen Yulan smiled even better: "It's okay, I will pick someone as soon as possible."

The reason for the seriousness is that he didn't insist any more.

Shen Yulan lowered her eyelashes slowly, and put a slice of lotus root into her mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax, even slightly bitter.

This is the gap.If he really felt sorry for her, Shen Junzhi would not have agreed so quickly.If she was really assured of her, Shen Junzhi would not be so resolute in going to the Gu family.

They say they treat everyone equally, but in their hearts?Can we really treat people equally?The gap of more than ten years cannot be made up by her.She will never make up for that gap.Shen Junzhi's heart of indebtedness, after all, can't compare with this kind of nature between father and daughter, where blood is thicker than water?
Looking at the back of Shen Junzhi leaving in a hurry, Shen Yulan suppressed the bitterness and jealousy in her heart, and told herself coldly: don't care.Don't worry about it either.There is not that deep relationship between her and Shen Jun.

As soon as Shen Junzhi left, Jin He came in and hurriedly asked her what she had said to Shen Junzhi, and Shen Junzhi's reaction to that incident.

Shen Yulan only said one sentence, and then remained silent: "There will probably be a result today."

If Shen Junzhi really went to the Gu family, there would probably be results today - she could understand what the Gu family had planned.

She provoked Shen Junzhi on purpose.Originally, there was a bit of guilt in her heart, but... after seeing Shen Junzhi's reaction, it disappeared completely, and it was herself who felt uncomfortable.

After lunch, Shen Yulan and Mama Lin sat in the study and talked without a single girl around.

"Mom thinks, is it right or wrong for me to do this?" Shen Yulan turned her head and asked Lin's mother.

But Mother Lin couldn't answer, she just said for a while: "How can there be a right or wrong in this kind of thing? But, who can be blamed for the eldest lady doing this? In the big house, who can really do whatever they want?" ? If the eldest lady does nothing, I am afraid that there will be no bones left. Moreover, the eldest lady is kind, if it were someone else, she would naturally not give others a chance."

"I don't want to marry into the Gu family." Shen Yulan sighed.

"At this point, Missy has no choice." Lin's mother was a little distressed, and softly persuaded: "Everything is just fate."

"Yeah, everything is fate." Shen Yulan said quietly, but smiled again: "However, if it wasn't for today, I still don't know what role I am in this mansion."

"At the border, the master was quite indebted to his wife and the second young lady. Besides, after ten years of hard work, even a heart of stone has melted away. How can it be compared? Miss, although you love the master, you rarely Acting coquettishly and being obedient like the second young lady, it is natural that in the master's heart... Even his biological mother and biological brother have a bias. What's more-" Lin's mother said it straightforwardly without concealment.The tone was even a little unworthy... "Missy was too kind from the beginning."

"I'm too kind?" Shen Yulan looked at Mother Lin with a strange expression.

"It's too kind." Lin's mother shook her head: "If it were someone else, the wife and the second young lady, how could they be as beautiful as they are today?"

"You know, if I do everything, I will become a vicious person. Father is not really a fool. How can he condone my nonsense? My wife has done so much, and my father just locked her up. After all, there is a relationship between husband and wife." Shen Yulan's face was slightly cold, and he said these words.

Mother Lin was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be the case - if Shen Yulan had done too much at the beginning, maybe it would arouse Shen Junzhi's disgust?

"Actually, I suspect that the cause of my mother's death, who is the murderer, is clear in his heart." Shen Yulan continued, with a cold face on his face: "Even, I think, behind the scenes that prevented me from finding out the truth people, father is one of them."

Mother Lin was startled, she could hardly speak: "Impossible—"

Shen Yulan twitched her lips mockingly: "What's impossible? To cover up the family ugliness, to cover up the matter. For the sake of his relationship with Guo. It's not impossible. You know, I really want to investigate the matter. It came out, the evidence was found, and it was brought out again. At that time, the whole Shen family would be talking about it for a long time. ? Let Mrs. Guo take my mother’s life? For my father, I’m afraid he doesn’t want to see this scene.”

Mother Lin was too shocked to speak.Obviously, the words Shen Yulan said were too shocking, but it still made people feel...that was indeed the case.

If Shen Junzhi really made a serious investigation, it would be impossible not to find any clues.But Shen Junzhi never expressed it.On the contrary, during Shen Yulan's investigations over the years, someone has been secretly obstructing her.

The person who blocked him, I used to think it was someone from the Guo family, but now that I think about it—it seems that I really don’t know it’s a force.After all, the Guo family is gradually declining, and every year is not as good as every year. How can there be such ability and all-encompassing?

Even Mrs. Guangwuhou helped investigate, but nothing was found——

However, this is too scary...

"There will be a result tonight. If it doesn't work... I'll go to the temple." Shen Yulan smiled, and his eyes were clear: "Then use the method of golden cicada to escape the shell, just jump out. It's just like that As soon as it comes, in the future, I will have to hide and not show up."

"This is the worst policy." Lin's mother was anxious, "It's better not to use it unless it is a last resort. If someone finds out, it will be terrible. Moreover, if that happens, life will be difficult in the future."

"Of course I understand." Shen Yulan nodded: "That's a last resort."

After all, no matter when, there is nothing wrong with preparing a few more retreats for yourself.

And tonight, everything will have a result - what is the meaning of the Gu family, and in the face of such a result, what choice will Shen Junzhi make?

Taking a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restlessness and irritability in her heart, Shen Yulan only told herself inwardly, just wait patiently.

At the same time, I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart: What kind of evil relationship is there between her and Gu Meng?And between her and Chang Yu... If she got engaged to Chang Yu smoothly at that time, there's nothing to worry about now, right?It's a pity... I have to say that sometimes, everything really seems to have its own master in the dark.
