After hearing the empress's words, everyone could tell her preference. Besides being talented, Shen Linghan also had auspicious luck. So the connotation was that Shen Ninghua had no other advantages except her good look. Simply being beautiful didn't make a good reputation for a woman.
Baili Qingcang cast an indifferent glance at them without saying anything. The empress smiled and said, "Linghan, come and let me take a close look at you."
Shen Linghan couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes. She took a deep breath and got up. She walked lightly to the center of the hall and saluted gracefully. "Shen Linghan pays respects to Your Majesties."
"What an adorable girl. I heard that your brother is back too?"
Shen Xuanye stood up and walked forward. After paying respects to the emperor and empress, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Linghan.
The empress looked at the two with smiles on her face and nodded. She tur
Hearing the voice, Baili Jinchuan suddenly turned around and pushed away the several young ladies from the aristocratic families in front of him. He jumped forward trying to pull Shen Ninghua back. Unfortunately, Shen Ninghua fell too quickly, and he could only grab the floating silk handkerchief.Baili Jinchuan suddenly turned his head. His cold aura undisguisedly pressed down on Zhao Ruyun and Shen Linghan. He had the experience of fighting on the battlefield, and his aura carried cruelness and bloodiness that were way too much for the two girls to bear. They simultaneously took a step back.The ground beneath their feet emitted a crisp thud. Shen Linghan and Zhao Ruyun's hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately cried out in alarm, "Ah!"The stone slab on the ground tilted up, forcing Shen Linghan and Zhao Ruyun, who were standing at the edge, to the very brink. They felt weak in their knees and were unable to use any bit of their strength
Shen Ninghua lowered her head. Nobody could see her expression, but they could feel deep sorrow and stubbornness in her.Shen Dong frowned at her, "Ninghua, your younger sister is seriously injured. If she wasn't carefully treated, she might have permanent illnesses. She definitely can't go home at this time."Shen Ninghua looked up at Shen Linghan, biting her lips. "Father, after all, this is not our home. There aren't all the necessary medicinal ingredients. It's better to bring my younger sister back home."Seeing that she was still so persistent, Shen Dong felt somewhat annoyed. "You just fell off too. Hurry up and go back to rest. You don't need to worry about the situation here.""Father..." Shen Ninghua wanted to say something else, but an announcement was heard at the door.The emperor, empress and a few princes walked in.A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Madam Zhao's eyes as she wiped her tears
The surrounding silence and the mocking gazes of the crowd made her unable to breathe. Shen Linghan unconsciously held Madam Zhao's hand tighter and said, "Mother…"Finally, Baili Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Second Miss Shen, before framing up your eldest sister, shouldn't you tell us how you got these two jade pendants?"Hearing the words "jade pendants", Shen Linghan subconsciously fumbled her sleeve bags. They were empty and there was nothing inside. "Where are the jade pendants?"Madam Zhao had just said that Shen Ninghua framed her up with the jade pendants, but seeing Shen Linghan's subconscious reaction, everyone presents understood. If Shen Linghan was framed up and did not know about the jade pendants, then she should have a surprised look on her face now.Baili Qingcang was slightly impatient, "Empress, you handle this matter." After a long time of uproar, there was such a scandal.Zhao Huiying n
After returning to the Shen Mansion, Old Lady Xiao looked coldly at Shen Dong who was standing in the flower hall. She said with a gloomy expression, "They are your own wife and daughter. It's up to you."Shen Dong nodded. He was suppressing his anger, like a volcano about to erupt.Madam Zhao got out of the carriage and thought that Nurse Qin and the other people would come to welcome her. She waited for a long time, but no one came out as she expected. So she had to ask the guards at the door, "Go and find two old maidservants. Linghan is injured and needs to be carried in."The guards exchanged glances and lowered their heads without saying a word.Madam Zhao became angry. "Didn't you hear what I said? You..."Butler Wang Fu brought two lad servants over and said to Madam Zhao, "Madam, master has an order. He asked you to see him in the flower hall as soon as you get home. I will arrange people to take care of the s
Shen Ninghua didn't care about her attitude, "Younger sister, I am kind enough to you. If I didn't feed you the medicine, you would still be in a coma now.""What did you feed me?" Shen Linghan touched her throat in horror, and her eyes became scarlet red with anger and fear. "You bitch! Shen Ninghua, how can you be so vicious!"Seeing Shen Linghan's hysterical behavior, Shen Ninghua was full of mockery in her heart as she thought of her previous life. If Madam Zhao hadn't driven her to the country villa, she wouldn't fall off the cliff and suffer disability. If it wasn't for Madam Zhao's scheme, she wouldn't be sent to the Fifth Prince's mansion as a gift. If it wasn't for Shen Linghan's viciousness, she wouldn't die without a grave! No matter how vicious she was, she didn't completely lose her humanity like them!"Sister," Shen Ninghua stood up and looked down at Shen Linghan, "just lie in your bed and don't stir up trouble.""Ge
In the private room on the second floor of Qinyang Building, Chu Junyi was slowly drinking a cup of tea in his hand. Occasionally, dark rays of light flashed across his eyes.Not long after, the door to the room opened from the outside. A woman wearing a hood and a veil walked in. She wore a plain blue embroidered jasmine robe and radiated a silent aura."Eldest young lady, you are here. Hurry up and take a seat."The woman took off her veil and revealed a beautiful and gorgeous face. She was Shen Ninghua!"The patriarch of the Xiao family has just returned to the capital. You should be very busy now. How come you have time to wander outside?"Chu Junyi waved his hand and ordered the servants in the room to walk out. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Ninghua. "Isn't it your fault? I have been idle, but you brought out a prescription. Now, all the officials of Da'an Dynasty are shocked."Shen Nin
Ever since Hong Ling learned of Xiang Qiao's movements, she had paid special attention to Qinxue Courtyard. Unfortunately, she had waited for more than half a month without noticing any movements. Today, she finally found out that Xiang Qiao met that lad servant again. She was extremely excited. "Miss, Miss, there is finally a movement in Qinxue Courtyard."Maybe because of the influence of Hong Ling, Shen Ninghua also paid special attention to Shen Linghan these past two days. When she heard this, she was a little curious. "What movement?""After Xiang Qiao met that lad servant, she took out the aphrodisiac and brought it with her. She would probably take action in the next two days." The lad servant bought a relatively low-quality aphrodisiac for Xiang Qiao. Hong Ling asked Shen Ninghua for a more advanced version of aphrodisiac called The Pleasure and replaced it. Now, she was waiting to verify its effect.Shen Ninghua was smiling when Bai R
Seeing Shen Linghan's actions, Madam Zhao's heart almost jumped out. She hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Shen Linghan, "Linghan, since you've congratulated your brother, go back to your seat and sit down!"She thought that she could definitely pull Shen Linghan over, but Shen Linghan tightly grabbed onto Shen Xuanye's collar, and with the drag and pull, Shen Xuanye's clothes were soon in disarray."Mother, don't pull me. I feel so uncomfortable. Elder brother, help me…" Shen Linghan broke free from Madam Zhao. She leaned onto Shen Xuanye again and even began to pull off her own clothes.The veins on Shen Dong's forehead popped out, and his purple-red face almost reddened with blood. He was so furious that in spite of the presence of the princes, he strode over and pulled Shen Linghan up, swinging his palm and slapping her in the face. Even if she did not care about her reputation, she shouldn't destroy Shen Xuanye!"Ah!" The o
