Shen Yuming was silent.

Even though he hadn't seen the so-called wedding gift yet, the words he hadn't finished were still stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Only at this moment did he clearly understand what it meant.

Fu'an doesn't know everything.

On the contrary, she knew everything. Whether it was the cancellation of the engagement or the so-called arranged marriage, Fu'an knew it all clearly. After knowing it, he was not heartbroken or wanted to stop it. Instead, he fanned the flames and even gloated over it.

But...how could this happen?

Shen Yuming opened his mouth, looking a little confused. Didn’t Fuan love him to death?

Because she loved him, the woman could tolerate Bai Xiaoxiao's unreasonableness, and even try to please her because of her own little emotions. She also brought opportunities that others could not get with great difficulty to him like cabbages all over the ground.

Since when did a woman who loved him so much start to not care at all about his life or death?

He was imprisoned in the Dali Temple for such a long time, and not only did he not receive any preferential treatment, Fu'an didn't even come to see him once. Fu'an was the eldest princess, so how could she not show up as long as she wanted to?

Fuan didn't want to see him anymore, and even wished he would be sent to hell.

But...how could this happen?

Just when Shen Yuming was confused, several guards carried a large box into the Shen family's yard. Shen Yuming took a look at the things inside and his face turned pale.

Inside were some small things he had casually given to Fu'an over the years, including a flower from the roadside, half a plate of leftover cakes, and a cheap, rough wooden hairpin from a stall.

There was a whole box full of things like this.

Shen Yuming never put any thought into Fu'an, because he knew very well that he didn't need to pay anything at all. He only needed to use a little cheap so-called kindness to get the other party's wholehearted treatment.

As soon as he entered the officialdom, he was asked to hold a high official position.

He can enter the palace at will, have the opportunity to meet the emperor easily, and has countless benefits.

But at this moment, those things were thrown in front of him like garbage. The father-in-law who had people carry the things in glanced at them coldly, and his eyes became more and more dissatisfied when he looked at Shen Yuming.

She is the eldest princess who is loved and cherished by the emperor, yet she has been neglected for so many years. How dare Shen Yuming do that!

"Her Royal Highness the Princess said that since the engagement has been dissolved, we can no longer keep your gifts. The tokens we exchanged before should be returned now."

As the eunuch finished speaking, the guards who were carrying boxes rushed into the courtyard at the back. Red corals half a person's height, pearl strings from the South China Sea, and all kinds of rare treasures were collected.

When she saw someone coming from the palace, Shen's mother hid in the house and didn't dare to show up.

Seeing that her son refused to say a word to her after coming out of the Dali Temple, Shen's mother vaguely realized that she seemed to be in trouble.

However, Shen's mother has always been mysteriously confident in her son, always feeling that no matter what happens, Shen Yuming will be able to handle it properly.

Even though her father-in-law read out the imperial decree granting the marriage in public, Shen's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Anyway, from the very beginning, she had hoped that Bai Xiaoxiao could marry into the Shen family, not to mention that she was pregnant with her eldest grandson!

But until now, part of those treasures were used by Lin Chunhuan to exchange tokens with Shen Yuming, and part of them were specially taken out to bribe Bai Xiaoxiao in order to make Shen Yuming happy.

But no matter where they came from, Shen's mother had already regarded those things as her own property. When she saw someone trying to take her things away, she immediately became anxious.

She rushed out and tried to snatch the mutton-fat jade bracelet from the guard's hand. Her movements were so fast that she didn't look like an old lady. "You bunch of robbers!"

"You broke into people's houses and robbed their money under the emperor's feet. Do you have any respect for the law?"

Mother Shen hugged the bracelet in her arms, turned around and tried to grab the twelve South Sea pearls in the box.

Each one is the size of a pigeon egg and emits a bright light in the sunlight.

But having learned from the previous experience, it was not so easy for Shen's mother to succeed this time. As soon as she approached, a long knife was already across her neck.

"The eldest princess has arrived!"

A long shout sounded, and Lin Chunhuan followed the sound into the Shen residence. Seeing the scene in front of him, he raised his eyebrows with great interest, "Oh, it's so lively, it seems that I am a little late."

"Fu'an?" Shen Yuming raised his head and looked at the face in front of him. He seemed to come alive again.

He crawled forward on his knees, and it looked like he wanted to hug Lin Chunhuan's legs.

But unfortunately, before he could get close, Feiying, who had been following Lin Chunhuan, had already kicked him out, kicking him several meters away!

Feiying's eyes were sharp, but when he turned around and met Lin Chunhuan's probing gaze, his eyes slowly softened, "Shen Yuming is a sinister and vicious person. I am afraid that he will harm the princess."

"If I have behaved inappropriately, please punish me, Princess."

Lin Chunhuan smiled. How come she never realized that Feiying was so interesting before? Her eyebrows curved for a moment, "How could that be? You are also thinking about me."

"Bring it here."

As she spoke, Lin Chunhuan had already walked in front of Shen's mother and stretched out her slender, white hand, her eyes calm yet teasing.

But at this moment, there was a knife on Shen's mother's neck.

It was to the extent that even the slightest movement would leave blood marks on the neck.

Mother Shen didn't dare to move, but she was unwilling to hand over the bracelet in her hand. Her eyes were red. "Even if you are a princess, there is no reason to take back what you have given away!"

"Once something enters my house, it belongs to me. What you are doing now is robbery!"

"Oh."

After hearing what Shen's mother said, Lin Chunhuan withdrew his hand without any reaction. Shen's mother thought that her provocation had worked and at least she could keep the bracelet on her hand which looked very expensive.

But the next moment, the long knife in the guard's hand deviated slightly, and the sharp edge left a bloody mark directly on Shen's mother's neck. "Stealing royal items is a capital crime."

"what!"

The intense pain made Shen's mother scream. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, with a large stain of blood on her fingers.

Of course, such an injury would not cause her to lose her life, but it would scare her and she would have to take care of it for ten days or half a month.

Mother Shen's eyes rolled back and she fainted. Only then did Shen Yuming recover from the force of Feiying's kick. There was no ferocious look on his face, but instead a look of deep affection.
