Chapter 465 Nightmare
With just one sentence, the smile on Qin Xuerong's face froze.
Hysteria?
When had she ever been hysterical!
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "But no matter what, it's always a good thing that Sixth Brother is safe and sound."
Shen Jingchuan nodded and said, "Sister Yi is right. Your mother and grandmother can rest assured now."
"It's just that Brother Lin is so willful and reckless, not caring about his own safety! We should teach him a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong hurriedly said, "Master, I don't know how much hardship Lin Ge'er went through before he joined the Xuan Ce Army. How can we..."
Before Qin Xuerong finished her words, Shen Jingchuan said, "If everyone in the family follows his example, will there be any rules? It is because of your indulgence that he has such a lawless personality!"
"Hasn't he always wanted to join the army and become a general? Well, since he has joined the Xuan Ce Army, I will give him this opportunity. If he can really make a name for himself and bring honor to the family, then I, as a father, am short-sighted!"
Shen Jingchuan's words made Qin Xuerong's face turn pale and red.
But she didn't want to lose face in front of Shen Shuyi, so she said, "Master, don't worry. Brother Lin will definitely bring honor to the Shen family and bring back face for the Shen family."
Shen Shuyi chuckled, and Qin Xuerong immediately turned around and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Shuyi's expression was cold: "Is mother naive or arrogant? Sixth brother has brought honor to the family? Sixth brother is not yet old enough to join the army. If he has made meritorious service, it's fine. But if he makes mistakes, lying about his age is enough to punish him for deceiving his superiors and subordinates!"
Just one sentence made Qin Xuerong's face change.
Shen Jingchuan also came to his senses and apparently had forgotten this as well.
That’s right, Shen Jinglin is still young and not old enough to join the army. He has always acted recklessly, so he should not cause any trouble.
"It is better to call this rebellious son back as soon as possible!" Shen Jingchuan said in a deep voice.
Qin Xuerong was naturally looking forward to her son's return, so she fell silent at this moment.
Shen Meiru watched from the side, but didn't say much.
Just hearing that Shen Jinglin had returned, she felt a little hopeful.
Although Shen Shuyi is in power now, she is a woman with no one to rely on. The Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is still a level lower no matter what.
Although the Qin family is currently at a disadvantage, at least... at least Shen Jingan and Shen Jinglin are both legitimate sons of the Shen family and have a bright future.
Based on this point alone, Shen Shuyi is hard to beat.
Shen Jingchuan sighed and said in a deep voice: "You have thought it through."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Dad, you don't have to worry too much. Lin Ge'er is still young and it will be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the army. As long as he doesn't act too smart, I'm sure no general will listen to him."
"That being said, he has always been a troublemaker since he was young. As a father..."
Shen Jingchuan sighed halfway through his speech.
"Never mind. Today, your father asked you to come here not only to talk about Lin'er, but also to wish you the best. Han'er was able to hire a teacher thanks to your mother's intervention. You must remind him to cherish the opportunity and study hard."
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Shen Shuyi looked at Qin Xuerong and said, "Thank you, mother. I will always remember your kindness to Shuyi and my brother."
Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Xuerong looked at Shen Shuyi, a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes.
Not long after, Shen Jingchuan left from the front hall.
As soon as he left, Qin Xuerong revealed her true colors and sneered, "I was almost fooled by you a few days ago. I thought you had some extraordinary ability to know that Lin Ge'er's leg was broken, but it turns out you were just pretending."
"Shen Shuyi, Brother Lin is now safe and sound, and is doing very well in the military camp. I think your plan will fail."
Shen Meiru stood aside, not daring to say anything. Suddenly, she felt a little regretful. She should have found a reason not to come today.
Shen Shuyi smiled, moved closer to Qin Xuerong, and said slowly: "It's too early for mother to be happy."
"What do you mean?" Qin Xuerong couldn't explain the reason. She was shocked by the girl in front of her and subconsciously took two steps back.
Shen Shuyi looked at her with cold eyes: "How can mother be so sure that what you know is not what I want you to know?"
In a word, it sounds like going around in circles.
Qin Xuerong narrowed her eyes: "What do you want to say?"
Shen Shuyi raised his lips, moved closer, and said slowly: "Mother, do you believe it? I learned the skill of reading people's faces when I was practicing in the Jade Buddha Temple."
"If I say Lin Ge'er will break a leg, he will definitely break it."
The girl's voice was clear, like a mountain stream's pure spring. Every word she spoke was refreshing and chilling, which made people feel inexplicably fearful.
When Qin Xuerong spoke again, her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Shen Shuyi, what do you mean?"
Shen Shuyi curled the corners of his lips, his eyes dark, "Mother just needs to wait for the news."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi turned and left. When he passed by Shen Meiru, he glanced at her coldly, which frightened Shen Meiru so much that she lowered her head and dared not breathe.
Shen Meiru felt uneasy, and she couldn't explain why. She just felt that her second sister's aura was getting stronger and stronger. You know, when she was with her eldest sister, she didn't have this feeling...

On the other hand, after Xiao Tingshan returned home, he had a high fever that night and fell seriously ill.
Wenren Zong invited his usual doctor to treat him overnight.
"Your Highness is suffering from a state of impatience and depression, which has aggravated his condition." The doctor sighed and prescribed some medicine for him.
Xiao Tingshan did not sleep well that night.
He had a long and confusing dream in a daze.
In the dream, one moment it was a scene of him getting married in the hall, the next moment it was a scene of him entering the Privy Council and rising rapidly, and the next moment it was a scene of him wearing a dragon robe and being conferred the title of Crown Prince...
Xiao Tingshan tried to struggle and wake up countless times, but he seemed to be trapped in a vortex. There was a strong suction force that prevented him from waking up.
"Tingshan, wake up!" Wenren Zong pushed him.
Xiao Tingshan opened his eyes dazedly, feeling exhausted. Those chaotic memories were crowded together in his mind, but not very clear.
He didn't stay awake for long and fell into dream again.
This time, he was wearing a red wedding dress and welcomed a girl who was also wearing a red bridal gown down from the wedding sedan.
Unfortunately, the girl was wearing a veil, and her face was vaguely visible under the veil. He felt that she was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you." He reached out and helped the girl, and they walked in together.
Xiao Tingshan wanted to see more clearly, but his dream was suddenly interrupted, and he somehow returned to the court.
He was highly regarded by His Majesty and became Xiao Heyu's right-hand man. It can be said that he was in high spirits.
"Cough cough..."
The violent coughing made it difficult for him to breathe. Xiao Tingshan didn't want to wake up, but he spat out a mouthful of blood due to the violent coughing.
