Chapter 213 The Old Lady's Fight
Shen Wen was so angry that he ran to Chu Yanqiu and threw a tantrum, then angrily ran out of the gate of the villa.
Chu Yanqiu was also very angry. He naturally knew that it was the old lady from Nanfan Country who came secretly and uninvited. She came to declare the status and position of her saint.
The old lady had not left the courtyard yet. She was hiding under a tree. Seeing Shen Wen yelling angrily that he was going out, the old lady was naturally unhappy. She snorted and whispered, "She is indeed a spoiled brat. I never thought that she would ride on Lord Chu's head, but Lord Chu was reluctant to punish her. No! I have to teach her a lesson."
The old lady made hand gestures and chanted incantations, thinking: Let me show you the magic of our witch clan.
The old lady set up a barrier in the air at the gate of the villa. Thinking of Shen Wen running to the door and hitting the wall and making a fool of himself, she smiled with satisfaction.
And the next moment...
"How could it be!" the old lady blurted out in surprise.
She watched Shen Wen walk out of the door; the barrier at the door had no effect at all.
The old lady was unwilling to give up, so she cast a spell again, trying to get a flying insect and put a curse on it. As long as the flying insect landed on Shen Wen, Shen Wen would be affected and would tear his clothes in the street. If others saw it, it would be considered a loss of chastity.
But the flying insect did fly out, but it did not fly to Shen Wen. Instead, it spun in the air, turned around and landed on the old lady.
The old lady was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was able to break the spell in time to avoid making a fool of herself.
The old lady was unwilling to give up, so she followed Shen Wen out of the courtyard, hoping to wait for another opportunity to act.
However, in a hidden corner of the villa, the secret guards arranged by Chu Yanqiu to follow him watched Shen Wen slip away in front of them. If it weren't for the curse on his body, they would have stamped their feet in regret.
This is all thanks to a person outside the courtyard.
In order to wait for Shen Wen, the man parked his sedan chair outside the wall of the villa early.
She is the fifth daughter of the Shen family, and now the concubine of Prince Rui, Shen Shuyuan.
Shen Shuyuan is now very sensitive to some evil ways. She could sense it as soon as the high priest of Nanfan chanted the spell.
Naturally, Shen Shuyuan solved all the pranks that were played on Shen Wen in seconds.
Shen Shuyuan saw that Shen Wen had finally come out after waiting for a long time. Her servant was also smart and quickly stopped Shen Jia and brought him over to talk.
When Shen Wen saw that it was Shen Shuyuan, he was still surprised and curious and asked: "Fifth sister? Why are you here? Are you passing by for something? Is it such a coincidence?"
Shen Shuyuan usually spoke very little. She said, "I'm not just passing by. Something happened at home, and the old marquis asked me to come find you."
Shen Wen asked, "Something happened? What happened?"
Shen Shuyuan said: "Your seventh sister has really made it this time. She actually attempted to kill her father but failed."
Shen Wen was surprised again. After coming to her senses, she couldn't help but joked, "Is it so exciting? I think Seventh Sister's years of forbearance have finally erupted. Could it be that my cheap father has sold her out again? But with her current status and position, it's unlikely."
Shen Shuyuan said, "Do you want to know what happened? Then go to the government office and ask your seventh sister. But I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you."
Shen Wen blinked and said, "You just said that it was the old marquis who asked you to come and stop me?"
Shen Shuyuan nodded.
Shen Wen said: "This old fox, has he lost his patience? His method of seeking help from others is quite unique."
Shen Shuyuan said: "The Empress Shen in the palace is our eldest sister. She has angered the Dragon Court and has been banished to the cold palace."
Shen Wen touched his chin and said, "No wonder, our family will have a hard time in the future."
Shen Shuyuan said: "I don't care whether the Shen family is doing well or not. What I'm afraid of is that the Shen family is going to suck your blood."
Shen Wen said: "What do you mean?"
Shen Shuyuan asked, "Why do you think I happened to be here to see you?"
Shen Wen said: "Of course the Shen family sent someone to follow us."
Shen Shuyuan said: "They are afraid of Chu Yanqiu, and they are eager to get you back to the Shen Mansion. How can they control you without using some inhuman means?"
Shen Wen said: "The Shen family members themselves dare not come to this villa to talk to me, they are afraid that Chu Yanqiu will be scared to death, so they can only ask the noble fifth sister to come to see me."
Shen Shuyuan said: "Chu Yanqiu is also in danger now. He is basically half demon and half human. You haven't really seen his side of killing people."
Shen Wen said: "Fifth sister, are you trying to persuade me to follow you again?"
Shen Shuyuan said sincerely: "Trust me, I won't hurt you."
Shen Wen said: "Fifth sister, tell me the truth, who are you?"
Shen Shuyuan said: "If I tell you, you will agree to go with me."
Shen Wen looked around at the crowd and said, "How about this! Fifth sister, you don't know that I took the position of the owner of Zhong's Manor only because I had no choice. Help me find Zhong Jie, the original owner of Zhong's Manor, and I will return the position to him, and then I will go with you. How do you think?"
Shen Shuyuan placed her slender jade fingers on her red lips, rolled her eyes and said, "Is that so! Then Fifth Sister is really stumped, but Fifth Sister can give it a try."
Shen Wen looked at Shen Shuyuan and said, "It's settled then. I'll go to the prison to check on Seventh Sister. I'll be leaving first."
Shen Shuyuan waved her hand and let him go.
Just as Shen Wen was about to leave, the gate of the Suoxin Villa behind him opened. Chu Yanqiu chased after him anxiously, and when he saw that Shen Wen was just at the door and had not run far, he immediately picked up his outer robe and hurried after him.
Shen Wen told Shen Shuyuan, "Fifth sister, this Chu Yanqiu is really annoying. You have to help me now and stop him."
Shen Shuyuan said: "Don't worry, just go."
Shen Wen didn't say any more and ran away immediately.
Chu Yanqiu hurriedly chased after him, but was naturally stopped by the palace guards brought by Shen Shuyuan.
Shen Shuyuan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said to Chu Yanqiu, "Master Chu, please don't chase her. She doesn't have the brains of an ordinary person. If she doesn't want to stay in a certain place, I don't think anyone can stop her."
Shen Shuyuan pointed her eyes at a hidden place behind Chu Yanqiu and said, "Master Chu! It seems that you are too busy with your own affairs. I think you should take care of your own affairs first."
Chu Yanqiu followed her instructions and looked back in that direction. Although he didn't see anything suspicious in that place, Chu Yanqiu was very smart. He naturally guessed that someone would be hiding behind and observing here.
Chu Yanqiu was reluctant to see Shen Wen leave, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He followed the advice of Princess Rui, bowed and left.
Chu Yanqiu walked to the gate of his own villa and looked again at the place where Prince Rui pointed, but did not go there. He went straight back to the villa.
After Chu Yanqiu closed the door of his house, Princess Rui Shen Shuyuan looked at the place where the old lady was hiding. Her eyes, as cold as ice, flashed with a scarlet light. She said silently: "It's really strange. In this world, any small fish or shrimp dares to act wild in a place like the capital. Do they really think they are something important?"
After saying this, he lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and ordered, "Lift up the sedan chair, let's go back."
After the little princess Rui's sedan left, the old lady who was hiding under the big tree outside the wall encountered the biggest life-and-death crisis in her life. The big tree that blocked her figure came to life, and like a gold-eating beast with its bloody mouth wide open, it suddenly swallowed her into the tree.
Not only that, this monster-like tree trunk actually grew snake-like vines, which attacked her one by one when she exerted her magic power to rush out of the tree, tightly wrapped around her body, and then tightened her body little by little, as if to break all her bones.
The old lady was like a prey entangled by a giant python, watching her body being gradually crushed and waiting to die bit by bit.
Just when she was strangled to the point where she couldn't even breathe, one of the medicine bottles she was squeezing in her arms was actually crushed. A few drops of blood stored in the bottle flowed out and stained the vines. The vines shrank instantly when they touched the blood. In this way, the vines that were originally strangling her immediately released their strength and spared the old lady's life.
From then on, the evil magic disappeared, and the high priest from the southern barbarians escaped from the tree.
The old lady looked at the few drops of blood on her body, her heart was in turmoil. You know, this medicine was taken from the concubine Shen Wen before she woke up, although it was only a few drops!
Could it be that Shen Wen is an evil creature?
The old lady realized the evil and tyrannical nature of the Daju Kingdom and no longer dared to act rashly and willfully, so she hurried back to the post station.
The old lady had just run back to the post station in a panic when she was blocked by Chu Yanqiu.
Chu Yanqiu stared at her with a bad look, which made the old lady, whose half body was almost buried in the ground, blush.
Chu Yanqiu asked, "Is your High Priest of Nanfan able to take care of my family affairs?"
The old lady said, "Young Master, are you really going to quarrel with an old woman like me for a humble concubine?"
Chu Yanqiu asked, "So what if we fall out?"
The old lady was choked, and her originally blushing face immediately turned purple. She said, "Master Chu, do you think even my Saint Daughter is looked down upon?"
Chu Yanqiu said, "What does it have to do with her? Did she ask you to do this? Then I really underestimated her."
The old lady was choked again, and hurriedly said: "It's not my saint's intention, it's me who wants to do this. I also know that you people in Daju are used to having three wives and four concubines, but the concubine you hide in the other courtyard is different from the concubines in the mansion. I am more interested now, and I didn't think much about it, so I went to take a look myself. But Lord Chu's concubine..."
At this point, the old lady hesitated and shook her head in denial.
Chu Yanqiu asked: "What?"
The old lady said: "You are rude, arrogant and restless."
Chu Yanqiu looked at the old lady and suddenly smiled. The anger in his heart was somewhat dissipated by her scolding of Shen Wen.
The conflict between the two families was finally settled.
