Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

She glanced outside the door and told the maid, "Guard it well and don't let anyone get close."

"Yes." The maid replied, then closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Everything was ready, and Madam Shen continued, "Please give the order, old sir, to have Shen Siyan assassinate the emperor."

The room suddenly fell into a dead silence, and even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly. At this moment, the sound of heartbeats became the only sound.

Shen Feng felt a chill running down his spine, and he could hardly believe his ears - what on earth was his mother saying?

His hands began to tremble unconsciously and he clenched his teeth, trying his best to control himself from doing anything impulsive.

Guiguzi's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at Madam Shen and asked, "So, Madam Shen means to use the poison to control Shen Siyan to carry out this mission?"

"That's right." Mrs. Shen answered concisely, as if some of the burden was lifted from her shoulders after saying these words.

"I understand." Guiguzi calmly accepted the task without saying anything more.

Madam Shen looked at Guiguzi, her heart full of doubts. Normally, anyone would be shocked to hear about such a big event as the assassination of the emperor, but Guiguzi seemed unusually calm.

Guiguzi snorted lightly, and was no less surprised than Mrs. Shen.

However, if she knew that Shen Siyan had been cured of the poison and was now soberly participating in this drama, she would probably be even more surprised.

"Mrs. Shen, have you forgotten that I am not from the imperial dynasty?" he reminded.

"Oh, I overlooked that. The old gentleman is from the Kingdom of Nanyue." Mrs. Shen suddenly realized and thought that Guiguzi, who was from Nanyue, would naturally not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

"There is no time to lose. Please arrange it as soon as possible, old sir." Mrs. Shen urged.

"Well, I'll prepare it right away."

Guiguzi responded immediately and brought the incense burner and some special materials. Even though the poison had been removed, the scene still needed to be performed realistically.

Behind the screen, Shen Feng's body was trembling slightly and his face was as pale as paper.

From the moment his mother stepped into the room, his inner world collapsed.

What Si Yan said was true - his mother was indeed a remnant of the previous dynasty, who planned a rebellion and ordered the assassination of the emperor.

All this made him feel suffocated, as if the family warmth of more than 20 years was just a lie.

Shen Siyan, sitting on the futon, had a blank expression on his face. His plan was going smoothly, but he was worried in his heart whether his brother's body could withstand the truth.

He was completely focused on what was happening behind the screen.

Shen Feng was overwhelmed by the reality before him. He wanted to rush out and question his mother, but ultimately he didn't have the courage.

He knew that his mother's heart had turned cold, and she had used Si Yan, even at the cost of dragging the entire Shen family into the abyss. Tears fell silently, and he could only silently endure the torment in his heart.

Guiguzi began to pretend, putting some items into the incense burner and muttering something, as if he was performing some mysterious spell.

Mrs. Shen watched from the side, curious and vigilant.

When Guiguzi sprinkled black sand into the incense burner and the black smoke instantly rushed towards Shen Siyan, the scene looked thrilling. However, this was just a trick and would not cause any actual harm.

Shen Siyan knew this very well and continued to sit still.

When Mrs. Shen witnessed this scene, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide, a chill ran through her heart, and she involuntarily took a few steps back to keep a distance from everything that seemed dangerous.

Although the scene before her was strange, Mrs. Shen knew that her own safety was more important. She carefully kept her distance and thought about what to do next.

The black smoke gently wrapped around Shen Siyan twice, and then gradually dissipated.

Guiguzi said coldly: "Mrs. Shen has already issued the order."

"Is this enough?"

"Yes, the mission to assassinate the emperor has been assigned. As long as the time is determined, Shen Siyan will carry out the mission." Guiguzi explained in a calm tone.

Assassinate the emperor?

Shen Siyan laughed secretly in his heart, it was still uncertain who would die.

Guiguzi glanced at Shen Siyan, wondering what this man was thinking. This man was the most elusive to him.

Hearing this, Madam Shen laughed out loud, "Hahaha! That's great! I've finally waited for this day. I've endured humiliation for more than 20 years, and now I can finally get my revenge!"

"What a pity! I can't see the old emperor die with my own eyes. That would be so refreshing."

Mrs. Shen seemed extremely excited, as if all her grievances would be repaid at this moment.

Behind the screen, Shen Feng heard these words and tears flowed down his face involuntarily. He gritted his teeth to prevent his voice from being exposed.

When Mrs. Shen left the room and there were three people left, Guiguzi looked at Shen Siyan again without saying a word.

After Shen Siyan confirmed that there was no one around, he slowly opened his eyes.

“You acted really well.”

"Where, where."

Guiguzi responded coldly: "I wonder who is hiding behind the screen. Could it be your guard?"

At this time, Shen Feng slowly walked out from behind the screen, looking like he had lost his direction.

The shock of learning the truth almost made him collapse. The mother he had always believed in turned out to be such a person.

Guiguzi looked at Shen Feng and said, "So it's Master Shen, why are you in a place like this?"

It turned out that the eldest young master of the Shen family was also hiding behind the screen. He must have heard everything. Gu Zi sneered a few times and looked at Shen Feng with curiosity.

Shen Feng looked dazed, as if he didn't hear Guiguzi's words, and didn't react at all.

Shen Siyan stood up and looked at Shen Feng, his eyes full of mixed emotions. He knew that his elder brother must have heard everything, and even if he didn't say it, he could understand his mother's thoughts.

"Brother!" Shen Siyan called softly.

Shen Feng was so shocked that he could not respond for a moment. He staggered and almost fell. Shen Siyan quickly supported him and stabilized his body.

The room was silent, with only the sound of the two brothers breathing.

Shen Feng slowly raised his head and looked at his brother Shen Siyan, his lips trembling slightly: "I heard it, I heard it all, why did mother act like this?"

"Brother." Shen Siyan wanted to explain, but when he saw his brother's eyes full of pain and confusion, he swallowed the words back.

Shen Feng felt his legs weakened. If it weren't for his brother supporting him, he would have collapsed. He tried to gather the last bit of strength he had, and without saying a word, he turned around and left silently.

Shen Siyan wanted to catch up, but he heard Shen Feng's low voice: "Give me some time, I need to be quiet."

Shen Siyan stopped and looked at his brother's swaying figure which was gradually moving away, feeling mixed emotions.
