Seeing the queen's appearance, Shen Chenbi lowered his eyes and pretended not to change his expression.

In fact, I couldn't help but feel ridiculed in my heart.

They are here today because of their own doing. No one can blame them.

"Queen, it's getting late now. The Emperor said that he would send the girl back after meeting His Royal Highness. Now..."

The maid who followed Shen Chenbi to the East Palace finally spoke under pressure.

She lowered her head and endured the Queen's silent anger, and she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her palms.

After a moment of silence, the queen made a decision coldly.

"In that case, let's send Miss Shen back."

This choice is really unavoidable, and we can't detain people now.

Unreasonable.

At the same time, in the Duke's Mansion.

After Mrs. Hu personally applied medicine to her injured daughter, tears continued to fall down her cheeks.

She finally sighed deeply and said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry for you, my child."

Shen Sixian lowered his eyes and looked at the scars on his arms, his face full of reluctance.

"Mother, I am not willing to give in. I am the one who wants to be the Crown Princess. Why did I end up like this? I am really not willing to give in!"

"Now you must remember not to act rashly again. Your status is different, and His Highness the Crown Prince will no longer be your backer. If you offend Shen Chenbi again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hu said and fell silent again.

She knew very well that Shen Sixian could no longer rely on her.

If you want to have a place in the Duke's Mansion, you still have to find another way out.

Thinking of this, Hu finally planned to meet Shen Wencai.

After letting Shen Sixian rest, Mrs. Hu went out and met Shen Wencai soon after releasing the news.

"Now Shen Chenbi is in charge in the Duke's Mansion. I really can't bear it. Looking at the scars on Xian'er's body, I really can't bear it. Is there anything you can do to help us?"

Shen Wencai frowned thoughtfully and thought seriously for a moment.

"You know very well that the best way now is to seize the title."

As soon as these words came out, a determined look appeared in Hu's eyes.

In fact, she had already had this idea in her mind before she found Shen Wencai.

Of course, the person she wants to seize the title will definitely not be Shen Wencai, but her son Shen Changfeng.

Shen Wencai didn't know what Hu was thinking, so he spoke again.

"If I succeed in seizing the title, even for the sake of you helping me, I will definitely not treat you badly. This is the only way to change this situation."

Hu came to her senses, but immediately rejected Shen Wencai's idea.

"No, even if I want to win the title, it should be Changfeng. Changfeng is my son, he is the most qualified!"

Shen Wencai pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully: "Don't forget, Shen Changfeng's legs have been broken now. Now that he is disabled, it is difficult to find a wife, and it is even more impossible to win a title."

"Ms. Hu, if you don't want to be oppressed everywhere, listening to me now is the clearest choice."

If it weren't for Changfeng's legs, Hu would definitely not have chosen to compromise on this.

But Shen Wencai was right.

Now I have no second better choice.

The woman with thin lips slightly pursed her face with a firm look on her face, and she finally nodded in compromise: "Forget it, in that case, I agree to cooperate with you. At least we can still have a few words with the prince. "

"However, Xian'er is still suffering now. If you want me to help you, you have to help me save him first."

Shen Wencai didn't speak, but he already had an idea in his mind.

So not long after Shen Chenbi was sent back to the mansion, he came to the door.

In the courtyard, Shen Chenbi was still drinking tea, and Shen Wencai walked in with his hands behind his back and his head raised, holding a shelf and looking a little arrogant.

For Shen Chenbi, Shen Wencai was also an elder after all.

I still have some face.

"Uncle is here? Have a sip of tea."

Shen Chenbi's tone was calm, as if he could not sense Shen Wencai's arrogance and dissatisfaction at all.

Shen Wencai said nothing and sat beside her. He looked at the woman next to him carefully before speaking.

"Chen Bi, since you call me uncle, I still have to talk to you about many things. You are young and don't understand many things, so I still have to teach you."

Rubbing the white porcelain cup in his palm with his fingertips, Shen Chenbi said nothing.

To Shen Wencai, this reaction seemed like acquiescence.

He thought he still had dignity in front of Shen Chenbi, so he put on even more airs.

"You child, you are too ruthless and ruthless in your actions. Si Xian is your sister, how could you treat her like this? If word spreads, it will not be good for your reputation in the house, don't you think so?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Shen Chenbi still didn't speak, but he already understood in his heart.

It turns out that Shen Wen came here for Shen Sixian.

To be more precise, it should be for the Hu family.

She seemed to have thought of something, and finally spoke amid Shen Wencai's eloquent words.

"Is uncle having an affair with Mrs. Hu?"

This simple sentence made Shen Wencai instantly stunned.

The words on his lips stopped abruptly, and he looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. It took a long time before he came back to his senses.

He slapped the table angrily and then stood up and looked at Shen Chenbi dissatisfied.

"How can you, a kid, talk? I'm your uncle!"

Shen Chenbi nodded thoughtfully, not looking frightened at all.

"I know you are my uncle. Logically speaking, you should be closer to me and towards me, but you are towards Hu and Shen Sixian. Is it because the relationship between uncle and Hu is unusual, that's why you care so much?"

Her analysis is not unreasonable.

After all, at this time of crisis, everyone knew that Shen Sixian had been punished by the emperor.

No one would be stupid enough to come forward rashly here. After all, speaking out for Shen Sixian would be tantamount to going against the emperor.

But Shen Wencai didn't care about this at all.

It's hard not to make people suspicious.

Shen Wencai's face became increasingly ugly, and there was even a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and pointed at Shen Chenbi, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

"You, you are just talking nonsense, I am too lazy to tell you!"

After leaving such words, Shen Wencai turned around and left.

He walked in a hurry without even looking back, but he looked very embarrassed.

Shen Chenbi pursed his lips and smiled softly. He felt the tea in his hand was slightly cold before taking a sip.

Well, today's tea is particularly fragrant.

After Shen Wencai left, he found Hu immediately.

Although he did not admit his relationship with Hu in the end, he also felt Shen Chenbi's suspicion of the two of them.

We still need to meet to discuss countermeasures.
