Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 405

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Shen Wanyu felt a lot more relaxed.She turned her head and glanced at the evildoer standing beside her, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

"Sanggong, have you gone to the competition in the afternoon?"

Chu Mohan looked down at the little lady beside him, smiled slightly and reached out to hold her little hand.

"The competition in the afternoon is nothing to watch. It's better to come with the lady."

Shen Wanyu glared at Chu Mohan, but the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably.Because of the urgency of the matter, Shen Wanyu brought Qiuzhu and Chunlan here as a carriage.It's not in a hurry to go back this time, it's rare for the two of them to come out together.So they decided not to go back to the Hou Mansion, and went shopping together.

Chunlan and Qiuzhu returned to the Hou's mansion tactfully, not disturbing their time together.Anyway, they knew that the young lady and uncle were protected by hidden guards.In Kyoto, there is no danger of life.

Holding hands, the two immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as they appeared on the street.Many women looked at Chu Mohan with infatuation, while the men looked at Shen Wanyu with amazement.

What a pair of bi people, really a match made in heaven.Shen Wanyu and Chu Mohan had long been accustomed to this feeling of attention, so naturally they didn't care.

It's just that Shen Wanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the window on the second floor of a restaurant not far behind her.But there was no one there, but just now she clearly felt a gaze projected from there with scrutiny and inquiry.Completely different from those amazed or jealous gazes, your probing gazes are also mixed with a little murderous intent.

"what happened?"

Seeing Shen Wanyu stop and look at the second floor of the restaurant behind him, Chu Mohan followed her gaze.But nothing was seen.

"Nothing, let's go."

Shen Wanyu looked back and shook her head.

Chu Mohan didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and continued shopping with Shen Wanyu.It's just that he looked back at the direction of the second floor, and a cold light and killing intent flashed in his long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Even Shen Wanyu noticed that unusual gaze, how could he not notice it.It seemed that the man couldn't hold back An Nai.

"Sister Wanyu!"

Shen Wanyu and Chu Mohan were looking at a novelty in a shop when they heard someone calling her from behind.She turned her head slowly and looked at the person coming.When she saw Mr. Ruyu in a lake blue gown walking towards her, she smiled sincerely.

"Brother Ruyu, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Mo Ruyu looked at Shen Wanyu, and he found that he looked much better after not seeing her for a while.Perhaps because of the nourishment of love, she is more beautiful than before.

Mo Ruyu's eyes softened, and she showed a gentle smile: "Sister Wanyu, what are you doing here?"

"The weather is nice today, so let's go out for a walk with my husband."

Everyone in the world knows that Princess Han's current concubine Han has just detoxified and is not in good health yet.It would only do her good to come out and move around more.

"Well, your body just needs to come out and move around more. I had some business a few days ago, and I haven't seen you all the time. You won't blame Brother Ruyu, right?"

Mo Ruyu had been talking to Shen Wanyu all along, but she didn't even look at Chu Mohan.

Chu Mohan stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Wanyu into his arms, and looked at Mo Ruyu with a slight smile: "Sir Ruyu, why would my wife blame you as a brother? Everyone has their own things to do, how could she blame you?" Woolen cloth."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched slightly, why is this monster so jealous.She has already sworn obeisance to Mr. Ruyu, just to prevent him from being jealous.

"Sister Wanyu doesn't blame Ruyu as long as she doesn't blame Ruyu. Brother Ruyu is busy with his work recently. I wonder if I can come to the Hou Mansion to bother you for a while?"

Mo Ruyu didn't care about Chu Mohan's provocation.As long as he knows Shen Wanyu's happiness, that's enough.Besides, although he likes Shen Wanyu, it's not what Chu Mohan thinks.

"Wanyu naturally welcomes brother Ruyu to disturb the Hou's mansion."

Shen Wanyu just couldn't say no to Mo Ruyu. I don't know why she felt a sense of intimacy from the first time she met Mr. Ruyu.It makes people want to get close, and inexplicably believes that he will not do any harm to him.

Chu Mohan was unhappy in his heart, no matter how he looked at Mo Ruyu, it was an eyesore.

Shen Wanyu squeezed Chu Mohan's palm, and gave her a coquettish look.Now that she met Mo Ruyu, Shen Wanyu didn't intend to continue shopping any longer.The three of them simply went back to the Hou Mansion.

Back at Hou Mansion, Shen Wanyu asked someone to prepare a yard for Mo Ruyu.Then he asked the housekeeper where Shen Wenyan was, after learning that Shen Wenyan was in the study.He went directly to the study.

In the study room, Shen Wenyan was looking at the book in his hand when he heard the creaking sound of the door opening.He didn't need to think about it, it must be his precious daughter.In this Hou's mansion, who would dare to enter her study without knocking on the door.Then there is only Shen Wanyu.

"Daddy!"

Shen Wanyu walked in bouncing around, and when she saw Shen Wenyan putting the book on the desk, she yelled sweetly.

Shen Wenyan looked at his daughter dotingly, and said helplessly: "You girl, why are you still acting like a child after you are married?"

"Hey, Yu'er will always be a child in front of Daddy."

Shen Wanyu blinked her eyes, walked to a chair beside her and sat down.She poured herself a cup of tea very naturally, lowered her head and took a sip.

"Come on, tell me, is there anything wrong with Dad?"

Shen Wenyan knew that Shen Wanyu went to the Duke's Mansion.Then the old Duke and his brothers-in-law hurried back.

"Father, I suspect that there are hidden piles in our house."

Shen Wanyu directly posed the question, she knew that her father was not an easy one either.

"You mean the Emperor?"

Shen Wenyan narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous gleam flashed across them.He didn't expect that the people of Huangzong would actually reach into the Hou's mansion.

"Yes, I went to see Shen Wanqing today. I found out."

Shen Wanyu told Shen Wenyan everything about Shen Wanqing, and Shen Wenyan heard what Shen Wanyu said.Falling into silence, it seemed certain.The Emperor's people had planted hidden stakes in the Hou's Mansion early on, and the Duke's Mansion should have also been planted with hidden stakes.

"I see, I will secretly investigate the hidden pile."

After a long time, Shen Wenyan spoke slowly.He knew that he should not be too anxious, and if he moved too much, he might startle the snake.

Shen Wanyu naturally believed in her father's ability, don't look at Shen Wenyan's unreliability in front of her.The ability to do things is extremely strong.

Shen Wanyu can't live in the Hou Mansion all the time, besides, she is a married daughter.Wherever there are daughters who are married, they still take care of the back house of their mother's family.So this matter can only be investigated by Shen Wenyan himself.

With this matter resolved, Shen Wanyu felt a lot more relaxed.She leaned lazily on the back of the chair, picked up her teacup and took another sip.Her eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly she remembered something.His eyes lit up, and he stared straight at his father.

Shen Wenyan was thinking about how to secretly investigate the hidden stake in the Hou's mansion, but was taken aback by Shen Wanyu's bright eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Shen Wenyan reached out to touch his face, and looked at his daughter inexplicably.

Shen Wanyu rolled her eyes slightly, and stood up from the straight line.He moved to Shen Wenyan's side and said with a smile.

"Daddy, does grandfather have any brothers?"

Shen Wenyan didn't expect Shen Wanyu to ask about this suddenly, he was slightly taken aback.After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth quietly.

"Well, Daddy also has an elder brother. It's just that he disappeared after the Shen family's massacre. At that time, Daddy's elder brother was sent out by his grandfather and escaped the extermination of the family at that time. But those people are so ruthless. Let them go. So I don’t know whether they are dead or alive now.”

Shen Wenyan actually hoped that they would survive, so that there would be people alive in the Shen family besides them.It is not impossible to revitalize the Shen family like that.

He still remembered the agreement with the high priest that Southeast Yu Wanyu would go back after all.At that time, she was facing people from that family.If the Shen family can be rejuvenated, it will be much easier for her to fight against that family.

And it's not that he doesn't want to avenge the death of his family.It's just that he doesn't have that ability yet, and he has always kept this in his heart.One day, he will pay back what is owed to them.

"What's the matter, why did Yu'er suddenly ask these things?"

Shen Wenyan looked at his daughter suspiciously, he knew her temperament well.There must be something, she suddenly asked this.

"Daddy, the High Priest has looked for me."

Shen Wanyu lowered her head slightly, and she didn't intend to hide the matter from her father, the High Priest.

"What did she ask you for? She clearly promised me to give you time to grow up." Shen Wenyan frowned. The two had made an agreement when the high priest came for the first time.

Shen Wanyu raised her head to look at her father, and comforted her with a slight smile: "It's nothing, the high priest told me to participate in the selection of the next Gu master next year."

Shen Wenyan was slightly taken aback, if he remembered correctly.The next Gu master must meet those two conditions, but soon Shen Wenyan understood what was going on.

Wan Yu is the only person in this generation who meets those two conditions, so there has been no Gu master for Feng Gu for so many years.It seems that those families couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to choose a successor among the younger generation.

Shen Wenyan smiled coldly, it seems that this is the next Gu Master selected.If he guessed correctly, he must have appeared there.This so-called selection is just a superficial effort.

It seemed that the High Priest couldn't wait any longer.So he found his daughter in advance and wanted her to be the next Gu Master.
