Chapter 172 Self-retribution

Wanxin knew that it was not good for her to be greedy for Liu Fanchen's arms, but at this moment she just wanted to forget her hatred and jade pendant so that she could indulge herself in a little bit.

The candlelight reflects the light and shadow of the two of them, and is projected on the wall, making it look so harmonious. There is no sound in the room, and they can only hear the sound of each other's heartbeat. What's amazing is that the heartbeats of the two are surprisingly consistent, as if they are emitted by a person's heart.

"Wait for me." Liu Fanchen said two words without thinking.

Wan Xin's body stiffened obviously for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't make promises easily."

Liu Fanchen turned Wan Xin's body over and looked at her. In Wan Xin's starry eyes, there was not only Liu Fanchen's figure, but also the shaking candlelight reflected in Wan Xin's eyes.

"Why? Don't believe me?" Liu Fanchen curled the corners of his lips and pulled out a charming smile.

Wan Xin turned his head away and didn't want to be charmed by the man in front of him. "Now, you and I can't help but believe it. What do you believe or not? You may be sure, tomorrow you will face me with a knife; or it is possible for me to face you with a sword."

Liu Fanchen found that Wan Xin was particularly heavy today and said seriously, "What happened to you?"

Wan Xin shook his head, "I'm just a little tired of this intrigue in this deep home. I hope I can stop everything in the future."

It turned out that it was because of the troubles of the Shen family. Liu Fanchen gently hugged her in his arms, "If you need me, tell me and I will help you."

When Wan Xin heard these words, a warm current flowed through her heart to all parts of her body. She nodded silently.

The two discussed the recent form and the updates of several princes. Wan Xin did not expect that Liu Fanchen would tell her these things in full swing. But she still had so many things to hide.

It was not until the east was faintly white that Liu Fanchen left Wanxin's courtyard. It was not until Liu Fanchen left that Wanxin felt sleepiness. This time he slept until the sun was noon. Bai Zhi came to see him several times, but Wanxin did not wake up. It was not until before lunch that Wanxin woke up quietly.

"Miss, you can really sleep, eat quickly." Bai Zhi came in with lunch. Seeing Wan Xin sitting up, she quickly put down the plate in her hand and stepped forward to comb Wan Xin's hair.

Wan Xin smiled embarrassedly. Since I remember, he has never slept so late. Isn’t it all caused by Liu Fanchen, but they are all humans, so how could he be so awake? Wan Xin still remembers that he told him before leaving, "Go to bed quickly, I will go back and change my court clothes and go to court."

Wan Xin asked Bai Zhi to serve and wash, and asked, "What's the movement of the fifth concubine today?"

Bai Zhi's hands were very neat and she quickly combed Wan Xin with a cloud-chasing bun. "It's very quiet today. I heard that I haven't stepped out of the yard. Maybe the master will come back tomorrow and behave well today?"

Not long after Bai Zhi returned to Shen Mansion, she got into a group with maids, servants, and even maternal women everywhere, which was even more popular than Mingyue. Bai Zhi looked cute, had a sweet mouth, and could help others work. Who wouldn't like such a quick-witted person?

Wan Xin nodded, "Then we should not go out today. Can you complete the embroidery work Mingyue gave you?"

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi's little face turned red in an instant, "It's not yet..."

"I'm definitely playing again. I'm not going to go after I finish my work. Mingyue is back. Look at you like this, I won't help you when I scold you." Wan Xin was not so strict with Bai Zhi, but Mingyue's requirements for Bai Zhi were extremely high. I don't know if it was because she was injured by the Xia Tian incident, so she absolutely could not let the traitor appear next to the lady again.

Bai Zhi also understood Mingyue's painstaking efforts. Although she complained a little, she would be obedient every time. She is so loved by everyone now, which shows that Yue has made great contributions.

Day 2

Xuanting arrived at Chen Mansion early in the morning. Bai Zhi took Xuanting to Tingzhuyuan. When she entered the door, Wan Xin asked, "Has Hua Yin seen it?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Miss, don't worry, no one saw the path we were walking."

Wan Xin nodded and expressed satisfaction with Bai Zhi's caution and carefulness. When Xuan Ting saw the bare yard, he knew that it was once planted with green bamboo. He looked at Wan Xin a little uncomfortable, "Miss Chen, are we starting the ritual now?" After that, he took out the magic weapon he carried with him from behind.

Wan Xin raised Bai Zhi's chin, and Bai Zhi understood and left Tingzhuyuan and walked towards the gate.

"Master, don't worry, now you just need to place the items you need for a while and wait for me to notify you. But I am a small crowd here, so I may have to work hard to do it myself." Wan Xin took a chair from the side and sat down leisurely. Before Bai Zhi left, she prepared snacks and fruits for the small table in front of Wan Xin.

Although Xuanting is a charlatan, he is respected everywhere he goes. He is not as good as here and has to do heavy work by himself. But he is angry and can't get angry. He smiled flatteringly, "It's better, I'll be more comfortable if I do it myself."

After Xuanting prepared the supplies needed for the ritual and Gongtai, he was already sweating profusely. "Thank you for your hard work, come and sit down and have a tea."

Just as Xuanting was about to sit down, Bai Zhi hurriedly ran in from outside, and while running, the lady shouted. She came to Wanxin panting, bent her body and held her waist with her hands, and was out of breath, "Little, Miss..."

"Okay, I understand." Wan Xin knew what she was going to say before Bai Zhi spoke. "Master, I'm so embarrassed. I'm afraid you can't drink this tea now. Now start the ritual."

As soon as Xuanting raised the teacup to his mouth, he heard Wan Xin's words, so he had to put it back angrily, get up and come to the back of the altar. He began to do it seriously. He first lit the candle in front of him, then took out a yellow talisman from his arms, took a sip of wine, put the wine in his mouth, sprayed it towards the yellow talisman, and then used the sword in his hand to pick up the yellow talisman. He pointed his left fingers at the end of the sword, and muttered something in his mouth. After a long spell, he stretched the yellow talisman on the candle and burned it. With a puff, the yellow talisman instantly disappeared.

Xuan Ting picked up the second yellow talisman from the altar and burned it like the first one. Although he knew it was a fraud, Bai Zhi also enjoyed it. She even thought that this was much more exciting than the magician on the street.

Just as Xuanting was about to burn the third chapter of the yellow talisman, a bustling sound came from outside the door. Wan Xin heard the movement and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

With a thud, the door in Wanxin courtyard fell down. With a loud noise, Wanxin couldn't help but frown. Why did he have to tear her door down every time he came to her?

"You evil girl, why don't you kneel down for me!" Before the person arrived, Mr. Shen's roar had already spread throughout every corner of the Listen Zhuyuan.

"Father, why is my gate so annoying? Every time I come to my daughter's place, I have to tear it aside." Wan Xin said without looking back. At this point, she could say that she had no feelings for Mr. Shen. The few remaining family affection disappeared after the bamboos left by Leng's family were cut off. I originally thought that Mr. Shen still had nostalgia for his mother. Unexpectedly, he didn't even take the bamboo forest that my mother loved the most seriously. It can be seen that Mr. Shen had no trace of the shadow of Mr. Shen's heart?

Mr. Shen brought a large group of people just like last time. The difference was that he was for Liu's last time, but this time it was replaced by Huayin. Wanxin suddenly felt a little funny. His father did not ask about Qinghongzao, so he began to question her as a daughter. I don't know if Mr. Shen has no affection for him at all.

After Mr. Shen entered the door, he found Xuan Ting who was opening the altar. He did not expect that there was someone else in Wanxin courtyard. This person was the Taoist priest who opened the altar for Huayin a while ago, pointing out that the problem was the Taoist priest of Tingzhuyuan Zhuzi.

Hua Yin saw Xuan Ting's face also changed again and again. She had no idea that she could see someone she didn't want to see here. She looked at Xuan Ting vigilantly and looked at Wan Xin again. At this time, she felt that she was trapped in the trap, and Wan Xin had been waiting for her to bring Mr. Shen over to question the crime.

"Master, let's forget about this." Hua Yin showed softness on the side, not at all the way Jiaoyang was domineering. Master Shen thought Hua Yin was feeling uncomfortable, so he hurriedly ordered the servant to move a chair and let Hua Yin sit down. Hua Yin looked anxious, but she could not have the attack now. She was pressed by Master Shen on the Chair Mountain, so she could be said to be suffering.

"This is not Taoist Master Xuanting, why are you here?" Mr. Shen temporarily let go of his roar at Wan Xin because he saw outsiders present. He just glanced at Wan Xin angrily, obviously asking Wan Xin to settle the score with her when the Taoist Master left.

Xuan Ting stopped his actions and looked at Mr. Shen in surprise, "Mr. Shen, it's such a coincidence. Miss Shen said that she has been sleeping poorly recently and always dreams of unpleasant things, so she found me and asked me to do a ritual." When Xuan Ting spoke, he was serious and had a Taoist fairy spirit of ancient Taoism.

"Oh?" Mr. Shen looked at Wan Xin meaningfully, "Do you know who he is?"

Wan Xin smiled slightly and said with admiration, "How come my daughter doesn't know that this Taoist priest is the one who cut off my bamboo yard before."

"Since you know who he is, why would you ask him to do it?" Hua Yin, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but question. How could she not know that Xuan Ting was a liar? She just didn't expect how he would get to know Wan Xin and agree to come to the Shen Mansion to open the prefecture?

"Wanxin couldn't understand what the fifth aunt said. He just knew that the Taoist priest had boundless magic power. Wanxin had only paid a lot of money to ask the Taoist priest to come out. Why can't the fifth aunt trust the Taoist priest's magic power?" Wanxin lightly pulled the sharp question to Huayin. Huayin was about to open her mouth at this time, but she didn't know what to say. It would be impossible to believe it, but she also invited Xuanting. She could trust it. She really didn't know what the medicine sold in Wanxin's gourd.

Since she saw Xuan Ting, he has not raised his eyes to Hua Yin, and he looks like he never knew her, which has made Hua Yin even more anxious.

"Wanxin, why do you talk to your fifth aunt? Not only do you say unreasonable to the fifth aunt, but you also questioned Taoist Master Xuanting's ability. Don't you apologize?" As a businessman, Mr. Shen has always believed in the power of the snake god. He was afraid that Wanxin's words would offend the Taoist Master and bring him unrestrained disasters.

"It's not a problem, Miss Chen is also speaking quickly. My rituals are almost done..." Xuan Ting looked at Hua Yin, who was sitting aside with meaningful eyes, and Hua Yin was also looking at Xuan Ting. The moment the two of them met, Hua Yin couldn't help but feel cold on her back.

"Master, can you figure out the reason? What caused me to have nightmares recently?" Wan Xin asked with concern at this time, completely believing in Xuanting.

Xuan Ting raised his hand and stroked his beard, sighing leisurely, "To be honest, it's the trouble I caused."

"Master, what do you mean by this? Can you explain it more clearly?" Mr. Shen took the conversation without hesitation when he heard the word "scared".

Xuan Ting smiled bitterly, "Miss Chen's restless sleep and nightmares are a sign of a disaster."

"How can there be a disaster? Taoist priest, don't scare me. Our Shen family is all good, where does the disaster come from?" Wan Xin asked anxiously.

"It is the bamboo in this yard. The bamboo is the sweetheart that protects your Shen family. Now that there is no one left, there is no sweetheart, the disaster will come naturally." Xuan Ting looked at the bare yard with regret and shook his head in annoyance.

"What? Taoist priest, didn't you let this bamboo cut? It is said that the fetus of the fifth concubine is discomfort because of this piece of bamboo that can cause discomfort. If you don't get rid of these bamboos as soon as possible, the fetus may even be unable to be preserved." Mr. Shen asked anxiously, why did it seem that Huayin's fetus seemed unstable because of bamboo. Now that I have seen the bamboo, why is the Shen family causing trouble again?

"To be honest with Mr. Shen, this serious and contradictory point is indeed affecting the child in the fifth concubine's belly, but without bamboo, it affects Miss Chen even..."

"Master, what you mean is that Wanxin's sleep has an impact, so it's easy to deal with it. Just let her leave Chen Mansion for a while and live in the countryside for a while." Hua Yin quickly took over the conversation, hoping to end this incredible conversation.

Wan Xin couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Why didn't he ask to leave Chen Mansion before chopping bamboo? Now he let her leave. But after looking at Mr. Shen's expression of praise, he immediately obediently said, "Is that true? If it's just like this, then Wan Xin can just return to the countryside to live. Thank you Master..."

"No." Xuanting raised his voice and paused for a moment. Until he saw the anxious expressions of everyone present, he continued, "Ms. Chen's nightmare is only the beginning, and it will affect the Shen family's business. I don't think it will take long for the Shen family's business to be setbacks and everything goes well."

"You are talking nonsense!" Hua Yin couldn't help but stand up and scolded, "How could it affect so much without bamboo? What exactly does Xuanting want to do?"

"Shut up!" Mr. Shen glared at Hua Yin with a blue face. He had never seen Mr. Shen so angry. He immediately stopped and looked at Mr. Shen with a grievance. However, when her eyes turned to Wanxin, she changed into a vicious gaze.

"Master Xuanting, what you said is true?" Mr. Shen respectfully bowed to Xuanting as if he had found a savior.
