Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 226 The Secret of the Shen Family 1
Back at the Hou Mansion, Shen Wanyu put the ferret into the little thing's room.He fed it another elixir and reached out to pat its head.

"Little ferret, you will be fine in a while. Remember that you are my little friend from today, and I will take good care of you."

Feeling the warmth from his head, the little ferret moved slightly.Although it was still a little limp, it turned its head away and closed its eyes arrogantly, pretending to be asleep.

Shen Wanyu looked at its aloof and arrogant appearance, shook her head, stood up and left the room.

"Miss, look at this"

Qiuzhu came from outside and handed a purple jade tablet to Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu stopped, and she took the jade tablet from Qiuzhu.I lowered my head and looked at it. Purple jade is rare, so it is the most precious.After all, things are rare and expensive, and there are strange patterns carved on them.

"this is?"

"It was sent over just now, and it is said to be found from the man in black."

Qiuzhu glanced at the jade tablet and frowned.Originally, there were very few purple jades, and such things could be used as tokens for his subordinates.It can be seen that the person behind this is definitely not simple, how could the lady provoke such a person.

Shen Wanyu held the jade tablet in her hand, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.

"Don't tell anyone about this beforehand. Is my father in the mansion now?"

"Master Hou came back after morning court, and he should be in the study now." Qiuzhu looked at Shen Wanyu suspiciously. Is the lady going to find Master Hou with the jade card?

Shen Wanyu nodded, and she walked out of Yuyuan holding the jade plaque.Walking towards Shen Wenyan's study, she should ask her father about some things.

From her time travel to the present, the assassinations and ambushes every time are too weird.Except for fighting with a few aunts in the back house, she didn't seem to have provoked anyone else.

But except for the assassination that seemed to be done by Second Auntie, the other times can be seen from the assassins sent.They are much more professional than that time, not on the same level.

Passing through the back garden, a little maid walked towards her.Shen Wanyu slightly raised her head and glanced at the little maid, then squatted down.This little maid has a very strange face, she has never seen it in the Hou's mansion.

"Stop, which yard do you belong to?"

The little servant girl lowered her head, and when she heard Shen Wanyu's words, she stopped and stood where she was.

"I'm a maid who has just been bought into the mansion. I haven't been assigned to any yard yet. Do some odd jobs."

The voice was as small as an insect and ant, revealing a bit of timidity and uneasiness.The hands in front of him were intertwined, looking very disturbed.

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the little maid with her head down.She lifted her steps and walked in front of her.

"Raise your head."

Coldly giving orders, Shen Wanyu looked at the little maid in front of her without blinking.

The little maid slowly raised her head when she heard the words, and a small face with delicate features was exposed in front of Shen Wanyu.She narrowed her eyes slightly, and grabbed the little maid's arm.

Looking at the slender and soft little hands, it can be seen that they have not done any rough work.How could such a pair of small hands with delicate skin and tender flesh be possessed by a little maid doing rough work.

"Who the hell are you?"

Shen Wanyu quietly grabbed her wrist and asked in a cold voice.

"Ha ha."

A low laugh came from the little girl's mouth, and she suddenly shrank her wrist.Immediately, she pulled her hand out of Shen Wanyu's, and then she was five meters away from Shen Wanyu on her toes.

"If you want to know who I am, come with me."

The woman's voice sounded like a silver bell, and then she turned around and practiced qinggong for a few breaths before disappearing in front of Shen Wanyu.

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes, and was about to raise her steps to catch up.In the end, she still stood where she was. She didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.She is a person who values ​​her life very much, and she will not put herself in any danger.

She turned around and walked in the direction of Shen Wenyan.She had just walked a few steps when a voice rang in her ear.

"You're such a cautious girl. It's good to meet your father. Ask him what secrets are hidden in you. If you want to find me someday. Take the jade card in your hand and come to Tianxiang Tower."

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, the voice clearly belonged to the woman just now.

Is this the legendary sound transmission through the air?

The so-called sound transmission through space is a secret method that can only be achieved by people with deep internal strength. Among the people she knows, no one seems to be able to do this.

Clenching the purple jade tablet in her hand tightly, Shen Wanyu closed her eyes and walked towards Shen Wenyan's study.

Shen Wenyan was reading ancient books in the study, his pretty brows were slightly frowned.His slender fingers rubbed the somewhat yellowed pages, and the faint smell of decay emanating from the pages proved that the book had been around for a long time.

There was a knock on the door from outside, followed by the butler's voice.

"Master Hou, miss, please see me."

Shen Wenyan was slightly taken aback, then closed the ancient book in his hand and pressed it under the scroll.

"Let her in."

Shen Wenyan stared slightly, why did Yu'er come to look for him at this time?Shouldn't she be taking classes at Shang Academy at this time?He doubted that the door of the study room had been pushed open.

Shen Wanyu came in from the outside with a delicate smile on her face.

"father"

Shen Wanyu's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of the sweet wife of a little daughter.

Shen Wenyan shuddered and frowned: "Yu'er, do you have anything you want Daddy to help you with? Just tell me if you have anything."

Shen Wanyu chuckled, walked to Shen Wenyan's side and took his arm.She said coquettishly, "Daddy, I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully."

Shen Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words.I think when she got into trouble back then, he was the one who cleaned up the mess for her.Now he doesn't need to clean up the mess for her, so he can ask anything.

"Well, when did your father lie to you? Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Shen Wanyu diligently poured a cup of tea for her father, then pulled a chair and sat beside him.

"Dad, do you know that little bug that feeds on spices?"

Shen Wenyan paused holding the teacup, then smiled and said, "Of course I know, that's what every dark guard in our dark guard camp has. What's wrong?"

Shen Wanyu stared at her father's expression, and she saw his hand holding the tea just now.She can be sure that her father must have something to hide from her.

"Daddy, I heard that this kind of worm only eats the spices that it was fed from birth. And this kind of worms and spices are secret techniques only found in the hidden tribes in the southeast region. Dad, do you have something to hide from me? "

Hearing this, Shen Wenyan lowered his eyes to cover the expression in his eyes.His slender fingers rubbed against the rim of the cup, and he pursed his lips slightly.

"Daddy, do you know what this thing is?"

Shen Wanyu put the purple jade tablet in her hand in front of Shen Wenyan, and stared at him without blinking.

Shen Wenyan's face changed slightly when he saw the purple jade tablet on the table, and he grabbed the jade tablet on the table.A haze flashed across the deep eyes, and the lips were pursed into a straight line.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Shen Wanyu didn't intend to hide it from him, she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.Blow off the tea leaves floating above and take a sip.

"I went to the depths of Wanfeng Forest today. When I came out, I met a group of men in black who wanted to arrest me. This jade token was found from the men in black."

"What? They actually shot at you?"

Shen Wenyan's originally gloomy face sank, and he raised his head to look at Shen Wanyu worriedly.He was relieved to see that she was not injured.They thought they would live the life they wanted if they left there.Unexpectedly, after so many years, they still came here.

"Daddy, you know what this is. I'm not a kid anymore, so I hope you can tell me everything you've been hiding from me."

Shen Wanyu's face became serious, her eyes fixed on her father with a gloomy expression.The peach-blossom eyes that are always smiling on weekdays are now full of frost and there is a hint of helplessness.

Shen Wenyan looked at his daughter's increasingly beautiful face, his clear eyes were full of stubbornness towards this moment.He sighed slightly, originally planning to tell her when she was an adult.It seems that now is the time to tell her.

"Yu'er, you have a scorpion tattoo on your shoulder."

Shen Wanyu stretched out her hand to touch the place where the scorpion tattoo was tattooed on her left shoulder, and nodded slightly.She pulled the dress back, exposing her left shoulder.

On the white and round shoulders is a delicate and small scorpion tattoo, which is vivid.It seemed to be alive, just quietly crawling on her shoulders.Can climb away at any time.

Shen Wenyan's eyes flickered when he saw the scorpion tattoo, and the expression in his eyes was a bit complicated.Pride, worry, and helplessness were intertwined with various emotions, and finally calmed down slowly.

He stood up and walked around the large desk.Walking to the bookshelf beside him, he twisted the candlestick.The bookshelves moved slowly to the sides, revealing a powerful dark cabinet.He reached out and took out a box from it, then walked back to the desk.

He took out a transparent bottle from the box, which contained a light blue water-like object.The faint floral fragrance wafts out from the inside, and it looks very beautiful from the outside.

Shen Wanyu looked at the bottle in Shen Wenyan's hand suspiciously, and frowned.

"Daddy, what is this?"

Shen Wenyan reached out and rubbed Shen Wanyu's head, then poured out the water in the teacup.Then he poured the light blue liquid in the bottle into the teacup, and covered the cup with his hand.

After coming over for a while, he withdrew his hand from above the teacup.The originally light blue liquid turned into a fiery red like fresh blood.

Shen Wanyu looked at her father in surprise, it was like magic.

Shen Wenyan looked at the surprised Shen Wanyu and smiled slightly.Stretched out his hand towards her.
