After a tragic death and rebirth, I became the regent's favorite

"Liyue, is my father outside?"

Shen Moyou opened his eyes and turned to look at the door. "Help me wash up."

"But Miss, you just went to bed, or are you still..."

Li Yue bit her lip, looking reluctant, causing Shen Moyou to chuckle, "Silly girl, he was sent away by Meng Dong last time, how could he leave so easily this time?"

"Is the Prime Minister here to call for punishment?"

Li Yue asked worriedly while serving Shen Moyou, "It was obviously the Second Madam who caused the incident, how dare they sue the villain first!?"

"Okay, it's okay."

Shen Moyou patted the back of Li Yue's hand and comforted her, "Your young lady is very powerful now. What you said makes me sound very weak."

"I am just worried about the Prime Minister..."

Li Yue's eyes became red as she spoke. She remembered that the Prime Minister was a very competent father, but she didn't know when he started to change. Not only did he become indifferent to his own young lady, but he also helped outsiders to slander her with words several times. It was really disheartening.

"Liyue, have I ever told you that my mother is my only relative in this family?"

At that time, Shen Moyu had just woken up after falling off the rockery and being in a coma for several days. Li Yue thought that Shen Moyu was just talking, but now she realized that she was telling the truth.

"Miss……"

Li Yue was about to say something when she heard Shen Lingfeng shouting from outside, "Yo yo, if you don't come out, I'm going in."

"Sir, the young lady has woken up and is washing up. Please wait for a moment."

Although Shen Lingfeng was shouting like this to scare Shen Moyu, they all knew that Shen Lingfeng could not come in because Meng Dong was there.

However, Shen Moyou did come out very quickly, but his face was not very good. When he looked at Shen Lingfeng, he looked a little grim, "Father, is there something important that requires you to come here at this time?"

"Shen Moyou, what's your attitude? No wonder the second elder and his wife said you were a traitor. You even dared to beat and scold your own elders at will!"

At this time, Shen Lingfeng had been stopped outside the door by Meng Dong for nearly half an hour and had long lost his patience. In addition, Shen Moyu's indifferent attitude towards him made Shen Lingfeng even more furious.

"So father came here today to seek justice for my second uncle and second aunt?"

Shen Moyou agreed with that, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "If that's the case, then just tell me what you want to do with me, father. There's no need to get angry because of my attitude."

"Shen Moyou!"

Shen Lingfeng took a step forward, but was stopped by Meng Dong, who looked alert and cautious. "Your second uncle was beaten by your people and is lying on the bed unable to get up. Don't you have anything to say?"

"Why doesn't father ask them what they did to deserve this beating? Am I such a person who can't tell right from wrong in father's eyes?"

Shen Moyou's questioning was so aggressive that Shen Lingfeng was speechless. He didn't know how to answer for a long time. "You are just making up excuses. No matter what they did wrong, it's always wrong for you to hit them. Is this how your father taught you to behave since you were a child?"

"Father, have you forgotten that it was my mother who taught me from childhood to adulthood, not you, my father who is often away from home?"

Shen Moyu leaned forward and looked at Shen Lingfeng with eyes full of ridicule and indifference, but more of it was disappointment in him.

"That's all."

Shen Lingfeng didn't know whether he felt guilty or something, but he obviously didn't want to talk more. He waved his hand to indicate that he wanted to skip this topic. "Father didn't come to you for this matter. Let's go in and talk."

Shen Lingfeng was about to step into Shen Moyu's boudoir when she stopped him coldly, "Father, my daughter is about to reach the age of marriage. Even if he is your own father, you should avoid the taboos."

"Yoyo, when did you become so indifferent to me?"

Shen Lingfeng stared at Shen Moyu's face, which was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. He remembered that when they were young, Shen Moyu loved to act coquettishly with him the most.

"Father, let's go sit over there."

Shen Moyou did not answer Shen Lingfeng's question, because there was no need to do so. "Liyue, go make a pot of tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

As soon as Shen Lingfeng sat down, he began to question her. "Yoyo, let me ask you, do you know anything about the Wei and Yun families?"

"What is it that Father is referring to?"

Shen Moyou asked knowingly, staring at Shen Lingfeng with a pair of bright eyes without blinking, "Weren't the Wei and Yun families thrown into prison for deceiving the emperor and treating human lives as worthless? Will they be executed tomorrow?"

"So I'm asking you, the Wei and Yun families were investigated, and the old case was reopened. Did you have any contribution in this?"

It is impossible to say that Shen Lingfeng was not provoked by Xiao Ting's words. He had already formed a preconceived notion in his heart that Shen Moyu was involved in this matter.

"Father, what do you think I, a girl in the boudoir, can do? Can I ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of the old case, or can I ask the Wei family to kill someone to take the blame?"

Shen Moyu's words were like a spell, echoing in Shen Lingfeng's mind again and again, making him turn pale.

"Oh, I really can't see through you anymore. You used to tell me everything, but now you hide everything. I don't want us to separate."

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Shen Lingfeng simply tried the soft approach, "If this matter is really related to you, you might as well tell your father. This matter involves a lot of people, and I don't want you to get hurt."

Shen Lingfeng's words sounded so ironic to her. If he didn't want her to get hurt, he wouldn't have conspired with Marquis Wuyang to arrange for her to marry the prince.

"I know my father loves me, but this matter really has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. I have a clear conscience."

Shen Moyu said this with certainty. Shen Lingfeng couldn't do anything to her. If he could find out, he wouldn't come to ask her.

Although Shen Lingfeng was unwilling to not get the answer he wanted, he was secretly relieved. He felt that Xiao Ting was exaggerating a bit. Although Shen Moyu had changed a bit, he was not capable of plotting against the Wei and Yun families.

"That's good. I'm afraid you've been living in seclusion for too long and don't know how to judge people."

Shen Lingfeng now remembered to connect with Shen Moyou to build a father-daughter relationship. "Oh, oh, I know your second uncle and his family are a little unreasonable, but we are all family, and they are also your elders. When it's time to give in, you should give in a little, what do you think?"

"My daughter will always remember my father's teachings."

Shen Moyu was dealing with his father politely, but both of them were unpredictable and had their own ulterior motives.

"I heard your grandmother is sick because of this incident. You can go see her today if you have time."

Shen Lingfeng is still filial as long as it does not harm his own interests, but this kind of filial piety is too superficial.

"My daughter knows. Daddy's eyes are dark blue. I think he didn't get enough rest last night. You should go home and have a rest early."
