Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

Chapter 514: I, Wolf, accompany the sickly villain to take the imperial examination 79

As soon as Shen Song finished speaking, the servants stuffed a ball of rag into Shen Changhong's mouth while he was still lying on the ground in a daze.

Shen Changhong whimpered and tried to struggle, but it was too late. He was taken out directly by these well-trained servants.

Lin Wu stared blankly at everything that was happening in front of her. Only after the people were taken away did she remember to look at Shen Song.

"Husband... Changhong is your son after all, can you..."

"He has been scratched by a mad dog and is already an abandoned child. If you really care about him, then go in and let him out."

When he said this, Shen Song's eyes were cold, without any warmth.

Lin Wu's heart began to panic. She knew that Shen Changhong would not live for many more days, but this child had stood by her from the beginning and was willing to protect her at all costs. Whenever she thought of her own son, whom she had raised like a treasure, ending up in such a situation, her heart ached.

Shen Song was too ruthless, and she had to accept this outcome if she wanted to protect herself.

Her life had been going smoothly before, but at this moment, she keenly realized that everything had changed.

Shen Changhong being taken away was more like a prelude to stepping into the abyss.

Lin Wu hated it.

She hated Shen Yanqing.

If it weren't for him, how could she and her biological son have fallen to this point.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if doing so could stop something from leaving her body.

Shen Song saw Lin Wu's distraught look.

It's not that he has no feelings for Lin Wu, but what she said and did today almost consumed all that feeling.

"Lin Wu, you and I are husband and wife, and I don't want to make things too extreme."

"From now on, you will live in your own courtyard and cannot go anywhere. If you make mistakes again, don't blame me for divorcing you regardless of friendship."

Shen Song spoke harshly. Although he did not divorce his wife right away, what happened today was no different from a divorce.

He had listened to some of Lin Wu's previous threats and inducements.

Lin Wu clenched her teeth, her eyes were already filled with mist. When Shen Song said those words, the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

She couldn't save her own son, and the culprit who was obviously about to die was watching everything right in front of her.

Lin Wu realized belatedly that this was Shen Yanqing's revenge.

She opened her mouth and wanted to plead for her son again, but she saw that Shen Song's eyes were already full of impatience and disgust: "Come, take her down, keep an eye on her, and don't let her step out of the gate."

The well-trained servant came in again and took Lin Wu away regardless of her struggle and resistance.

After everyone left, the room returned to silence again.

Shen Song hesitated for a while, and finally pulled himself together, looking up at Shen Yanqing: "What happened today was the fault of Lin and your brother. I did my best by not divorcing Lin on the spot. The most important thing for you now is the imperial examination. These things are over, and people should look forward in the end."

Shen Yanqing raised a mocking smile and said, "Father is right."

"As for this maidservant," Shen Song's eyes fell on Yu Zhen who was curled up in Shen Yanqing's arms, "keep her mouth shut. If today's incident is spread out in a way that shouldn't be spread out, this maidservant's life will be over."

Shen Yanqing tightened his hold on Yu Zhen’s hand.

Yu Zhen keenly felt that he even paused for a moment, and then said: "I will take care of her affairs myself, so don't worry about it, father."

Seeing Shen Yanqing defending the little maid, Shen Song couldn't help but sneer, but today's events had already exhausted all his energy, and he didn't want to sacrifice a stupid son and then become estranged from his eldest son, so he suppressed his emotions and said, "Do you think I want to care about these things?"

He waved his hand and said with an unpleasant expression, "Go down, don't let a woman affect your future."

When Shen Yanqing and Yu Zhen came out of the study, it was already dark outside.

Shen Yanqing walked back in silence, holding Yu Zhen's hand tightly.

Although Shen Changhong was eliminated today and Lin Wu suffered a great blow, Shen Yanqing did not seem to be very happy. Yu Zhen thought so as he felt the strength on his wrist.

Shen Yanqing was upset. Just as she was about to reach her residence, she felt the person next to her stop and the hand holding her suddenly felt a resistance.

He stopped and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

"Shen Yanqing, you seem unhappy?" Yu Zhen's voice rang out on the quiet path, like a gust of wind blowing away some of the irritability.

Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes to look at her, but saw that her eyes were clear and only focused on him. He couldn't help but say, "...Is it so obvious?"

"It's quite obvious," Yu Zhen nodded honestly, "Can you tell me why?"

"I thought you would be happy to see Shen Changhong in trouble."

Her love and hate have always been very clear.

Shen Yanqing sighed: "I just... feel a little sorry for my mother."
