Chapter 40: It's Time to Go
In this matter, she didn't think that she had done anything wrong, but it was just business, but in her eyes, she seemed to have done something heinous.
She didn't have much more to say about all this.
Now that the murderer has been found, then, her task has also been completed, there is no need to continue to stay here, listening to so many insulting words from the Qi family, it is time to leave.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, Shen Jingde stopped her.
"Anyway, we are all a family, and she is also your little mother, should you make her sad and sad like this?" Originally, Shen Lian didn't want to talk any nonsense with them at all, but Shen Jingde wanted to use such words to morally kidnap her, which also made Shen Lian feel that it was really necessary to talk to them.
"I'm not a member of the Shen family for a long time, don't say these unnecessary words, and, before Shen Lian, how the Qi family treated her, don't you know? Don't you think it's ridiculous to say these things now? After a pause, she pointed at Shen Jingde again, and said word by word very seriously.
"I tell you, if you kill someone one day, I will not hesitate to watch you beheaded."
These words came out of her mouth, which made Shen Jingde feel extremely cold.
"Do you hate me to such an extent?"
"No, I don't hate you at all."
Shen Lian said seriously, "I'll tell you the truth, it's official, you must not commit it in my hands." ”
As soon as they left the Shen family on the front foot, the Qi family on the back foot began to make trouble, arguing endlessly with Shen Jingde.
"Your damn daughter, blame you for treating me like this, taking away Aunt Wang, who has been with me for so many years, and I don't have anyone around me who I can trust now."
At this time, Shen Jingde was also helpless, he naturally didn't want things to develop to this point, but there was no other way.
"But Aunt Wang, she killed someone, what can I do!"
"What's a dead person? Shen pity that dead girl, I won't just forget it, I won't let her go! And Shen Lian was on the way back, and Yin Chen was staring at her all the time.
I always feel that she is not afraid of heaven and earth, in addition to ability, there is also a kind of courageous courage, which is not something that everyone has, not to mention that she is still a girl.
Besides, she didn't have the slightest fear when she heard the name of the soldier's squire, which made him a little curious.
The county order suddenly became angry, because he knew his true identity, and naturally he was not afraid of a higher official position than himself, but Shen Lian didn't know.
"Aren't you afraid that after the squire of the military department really comes, you will really die by then?" After hearing him ask himself, Shen Lian glanced at him and said, "Then what can I do?" For this kind of thing as if it didn't happen? Isn't that going to be messed up in the future? Shen Lian knew very well in her heart that she couldn't give in the slightest way to this kind of thing, because after the first time, there would be a second time, which would intensify and be endless.
If the Qi family had been using her uncle's official position to suppress them, wouldn't the Shen family have to leave sideways in the future? No matter what, she'll stick to it and won't be afraid.
She could have come here, but she felt that she had picked up a life, and since she had a chance to live again, it was better to do what she thought in her heart.
Even if it is really unfortunate to be slandered, framed, and then executed by a villain, it is not a shameful thing.
She wants to maintain what she thinks is fair and just in her way, even if it may cost her life, it's worth it, as long as it doesn't make her regret it later when she thinks about it.
Since the Bai family died, only Shen Lian was left to live alone.
Although Yin Chen lived in the house next door, which was not particularly far away, it still made her feel a little insecure.
In modern times, she has always been a loner, and there is no fear at all, because all kinds of security are still relatively sound, and when she gets home, she can relax and rest.
But here, there is no way for her to settle down at all, and she has to be vigilant at all times.
The next morning, Shen Lian had just gotten up, washed up briefly, and then opened the door and saw a stranger standing at the door.
After seeing him, Shen Lian asked suspiciously, "Are you?" Is there anything please? The man replied, "That's right, I am a descendant of the prefect's family, and my lord sent me to invite Miss Shen and Young Master Yin to the mansion for a reunion." ”
"That's right."
After hearing this, Shen Lian thought for a while, then invited this person in and asked him to wait for a while, and then go to Yin Chen, and he had to talk to him about it.
Just walked over and didn't wait to knock on the door, the door opened directly, Yin Chen came out of it, and saw her standing at the door, still a little curious.
Shen Lian explained simply, "The prefect asked us to eat, probably to express his gratitude for what happened last time, I found someone to come over, we still went there, don't refute other people's face." ”
After hearing this, Yin Chen laughed directly.
"It's that simple, if it's really because you really want to express your gratitude for what happened last time and invite us to dinner, then it would have been brought up when we left before, and it wouldn't have taken so long to ask us to dinner."
After being said by Yin Chen, Shen Lian thought about it for a while, and felt that there was some truth.
But she also felt very strange about this in her heart, "What is the reason why the prefect suddenly called the two of us over for dinner?" After saying that, she suddenly had a guess in her heart.
"It's not going to happen again, you want to ask the two of us to help, but if you call us directly, you're a little embarrassed, so you say that you invite us to dinner?" Yin Chen replied, "That's what I guessed, but what the specific situation is, we will not know until we have passed." ”
Then the two of them went there directly with the people sent by the prefect.
After arriving, he found that the prefect had already prepared wine and food, so he waited for the two of them to come.
After seeing this scene, Shen Lian couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could he have guessed wrong? The prefect invited the two of them to come, and it was indeed for dinner, and there was no other meaning.
"Today, I have a special treat, mainly to thank the two of you for helping me solve that case last time."
"Actually, there is no need to be so polite, anyway, it is within our reach, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to find the murderer."
After hearing such an answer, the prefect nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the two of them to sit down directly.
During the meal, the prefect who watched the two of them eat with relish asked, "How does it taste?" The two of them nodded in unison, and Shen Lian praised without hesitation, "The taste is indeed quite good, your cook here is really good." ”
Although it is not as exaggerated as it is said, there is still simple politeness, and a little compliment is also respect.
After seeing their reactions, he was a little hesitant to say when he would say his request, and if he didn't say it while they were happy, it didn't seem appropriate to say it before leaving.
It's just that they did themselves a great favor before, and they didn't invite them, and now they invite them over for dinner, and suddenly say another thing, isn't it a bit abrupt? Just when the prefect was in a dilemma, Shen Lian raised his head and saw that his face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? The prefect nodded in embarrassment, and then sighed.
"Something did happen, I'm ...... this time" Some of the words really felt a little embarrassed to say, so he sat there awkwardly without saying anything.
The prefect's performance can already explain everything, proving that Yin Chen's guess before coming is indeed correct, and this time the treat is indeed for a reason, not because of the previous help.
Shen Lian glanced at Yin Chen, and then his gaze fell on the prefect again.
"If you have anything, you can say it, and you don't have to be polite, I guess you want us to help you with this treat, but I'm sorry, I just said that's why I took this opportunity, right?" I didn't expect that my little caution was directly punctured, and the prefect's old face turned red directly.
