Shen Ninghua was in the limelight at the banquet, everyone's eyes were focused on her, Shen Dong came at this time, she couldn't turn her away, otherwise tomorrow's gossip would drown her county lord's mansion.

"Bai Wei, prepare tea to welcome my father."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua changed her clothes, walked to the gate in person, and saluted Shen Dong: "I've seen my father." ”

Compared with the last time they met, Shen Dong's appearance was much haggard than before, when he was prime minister, he paid great attention to health, but now he has to calculate his livelihood every day, and the huge gap makes him feel more and more unbearable.

"Ninghua." Shen Dong's lips moved, as if he didn't know how to face the daughter in front of him.

Shen Ninghua's expression was as usual: "Father, since you are here, there is no reason to talk outside the door, my daughter has already prepared tea, please come in." ”

Shen Dong nodded and walked into the county lord's mansion.

Returning to the place where he once lived, Rao had another purpose, and he still couldn't help but tremble with emotion, this garden rewarded by the emperor has changed a lot, and there is no rockery pavilion he likes, but there is a little more beautiful water: "Ninghua, are you still used to living here?" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Originally, it was my own home, where are there any habits that I am not used to, and it is not the same?" ”

Shen Dong smiled dryly: "You are right. ”

Entering Rui Xi Tang, Shen Dong couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that the outside of the courtyard had changed a lot, he originally thought that Rui Xi Tang must have changed a lot, but he didn't expect that except for a few more decorations here, it was exactly the same as when he left, and he couldn't help but be stunned:

"Here ......"

"Although my father is gone, this is the courtyard where you lived after all, and because of the rules, I have to move in to show the head of the family, but except for a few extra pieces of furniture, nothing else has been changed indiscriminately, if one day my father can move back to live, this place can be vacated." Shen Dong must have his own purpose for coming this time, and even this purpose may be related to Shen Linghan.

Shen Linghan is the pearl he pampered and grew up, she is a rubble and is not qualified to compare with her, although Shen Dong secretly gave up Shen Linghan last time, but these few days have passed, who knows if things will change, so it is extremely necessary to draw a cake for Shen Dong in advance.

He is now the county lord, Shen Linghan is nothing, and he has to spend the rest of his life in bed, which daughter is helpful at a glance, if Shen Dong has other thoughts, he must think about it carefully.

"I'm a guilty body now, where dare I be delusional." Shen Dong said this, but a flame burned in his eyes, how depressed he is now, how eager he is to be in power again!

Shen Ninghua lowered his eyes and covered up the sarcasm in his eyes: "Where did my father say, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, things are reincarnated, who can say for sure." By the way, my sister was injured last time, but it's okay? ”

Thinking of Shen Linghan, Shen Dong suddenly remembered the purpose of coming today, and hesitated for a while: "She is ...... now." Alas......"

"Why is my father sighing, but what's wrong with my sister's injury?"

"Well, last time she sprained her foot, her whole leg began to swell, and now she can't even get out of bed, Dr. Zhang Nian also showed it and said that it was ...... It is said that this leg is estimated to be useless. ”

Shen Ninghua's expression moved: "It's a pity that this is the case." ”

"Ning Hua, my father knows that it is a little difficult to speak now, but as Linghan's sister, you naturally can't watch her be ruined in the second half of her life, right?"

"What do you mean, father?" The main drama is coming!

"You don't have some friendship with Chen Yuanzheng, why don't you ask Chen Yuanzheng to show Linghan."

"Father!" Shen Ninghua suddenly snorted coldly, which made Shen Dong tremble, "I should have never heard of this, and my father should not say it again." ”

Hearing such a blunt refusal, a nameless fire surged in Shen Dong's heart: "Linghan is your sister, don't you save you when you see death?" ”

"If I don't save her when I see death, then I won't ask Dr. Zhang Nian to help her heal. Father, you only see that I have a personal relationship with Chen Yuanzheng, why don't you want to think about the meaning behind this. It is extremely difficult to get Chen Yuanzheng's appreciation, and this bit of affection at a critical moment can save lives! Dr. Zhang Nian and Chen Yuan are good friends, when Dr. Zhang came to our house, it was recommended by Chen Yuan, and the two are not equal in medical skills, but they have their own strengths. He made a decision and said that his sister's leg couldn't be better, that is, it really couldn't be better, and it would be the same if he invited Da Luo Jinxian to come! Is the father going to waste a precious opportunity for something he has already determined? ”

Shen Dong pays the most attention to interests, he knows how to choose!

Sure enough, hearing Shen Ninghua's words, Shen Dong immediately fell silent.

Shen Ninghua continued: "Father, didn't you also respect Dr. Zhang before, how could you doubt his medical skills this time?" ”

Shen Dong shuddered, thinking of Shen Linghan's conversation before:

"Father, the eldest sister is now the lord of the county, and it will be of great use to us if something leaks from between her fingers. But if you look at how long she has been named the county lord, this time she has been in the limelight at the palace banquet, but we have not gained any benefits, she has obviously forgotten her duty, forgetting that we are her relatives who are related by blood, since this is the case, then we should remind her well. ”

"What do you mean by that? Do you still want to go against your eldest sister? ”

"Father, you misunderstood me when you said this, my leg is already useless, and there is no benefit in going against the eldest sister again, I am just thinking about my father, isn't my father fed up with such a hard life? Shouldn't the eldest sister be filial to you as a daughter? Now that the eldest sister has earned enough attention, my father only needs to let everyone know that you are the biological father of the county lord of Zhaohua, and it is enough for her to be praised by thousands of people while you are suffering! ”

How could Shen Dong not know Shen Linghan's thoughts, she just wanted to threaten Shen Ninghua with her reputation, if it was best to ruin her, he thought about it alone for a long time, and finally came to the county lord's mansion.

The ridicule in Shen Ninghua's eyes became more and more obvious: "Father, although I am now the lord of Zhaohua, you have been an official in the court for many years, and the depth of it is clearer than I know, now that the emperor likes me, I am the lord of Zhaohua, and the emperor is annoyed when he comes to Japan, then I will be nothing, once my status is gone, I can't help my father even if I want to help in the future." ”

"Ning Hua, where do you want to go, my father believes in Dr. Zhang's medical skills, just now I just asked casually, the main thing is to come to see you, you have also seen it, Linghan's leg is useless now, Yulan is confused, Mengyuan is even more ignorant, your eldest brother was exiled, I don't know if we can see each other in my lifetime, my father doesn't even have anyone to talk to, so I can only come here to see you."

Shen Dong is really thick-skinned, he can say such brazen words, to put it bluntly, isn't his current self more useful than Shen Linghan?

"I see, but I think it's wrong."

Shen Dong had a smile on his face, full of nostalgia and talked about Shen Ninghua's previous affairs: "Your child has always been sensitive, when your biological mother passed away, no one could cry when they hugged you, but in the end, it was quiet in my arms......"

Shen Ninghua listened with a smile, but his eyes were cold and there was no temperature. When she was young, she did admire Shen Dong very much, but he chose to turn a blind eye to Zhao Yunxiang again and again when he watched Zhao Yunxiang punish him, shielded Zhao Yunxiang again and again, and connived at Shen Linghan again and again, wiping out all her longing for her father. No matter how much he said now, he couldn't stir up the slightest wave in her heart.

Shen Dong was reminiscing, and Bai Wei entered the door to report: "Miss, Young Master Chu is asking to see you outside the door." ”

Shen Ninghua was stunned, Chu Junyi? Wasn't he still in the house just now?

"Father, look?"

"Since someone is visiting, naturally you can't turn it away, you just invite it in, with your father here, it's not a private man."

The corners of Shen Ninghua's mouth twitched, if you weren't there, I wouldn't be able to see people?

"Bai Wei, please come in."

In a short period of time, Chu Junyi has already changed his clothes, at this time he is wearing a jade crown, wearing a brocade robe with dark gold patterns, a rhino horn belt around his waist, a white jade pendant on the left, a delicate sachet fan bag on the right, and spotless python black boots on his feet.

"Chu has seen the county lord."

Shen Ninghua suppressed the appreciation in her eyes: "Lord Chu doesn't need to be polite, I don't know if you are here?" ”

"Chu is here to give gifts to the county lord instead of the Xiao family. Someone, bring the gifts. Chu Junyi held the folding fan and knocked on the palm of his hand, and immediately a small servant came up carrying two large boxes.

Chu Junyi smiled on his lips, stepped forward to open the box, and suddenly the jewels and silk silk almost dazzled people's eyes: "The county lord was praised by the emperor and won glory for Da'anguo, the Xiao family specially sent gifts to congratulate, and asked the county lord not to dislike it." After speaking, he blinked at Shen Ninghua vaguely, and there was a cunning light in his eyes.

Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what this person meant, he was here to support himself! The attitude of the Xiao family also represents the attitude of many officials in the DPRK and China, now that the emperor values her, she has won glory for Da'an, and to damage her is to hit the muzzle of the gun, and no one wants to get benefits!

Shen Dong was shocked in his heart, the status of the Xiao family was clear in his heart, although the emperor did not attach as much importance to the Xiao family as before, but the name of the century-old family was not called in vain, fortunately, he didn't listen to Shen Linghan's opinion just now, otherwise it would be miserable now, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with Shen Linghan, that girl really couldn't get on the stage, she even used her father, hum!

After having dinner in the county lord's mansion, Shen Dong returned to his residence on the outskirts of the city, and as soon as he went back, he went to Shen Linghan's courtyard angrily, kicked the door open, and scolded Shen Linghan with a slap in his face: "You are a wicked obstacle, you even calculated your own father, it was really a waste of life, if I knew that you were as vicious as your mother, I should have sent you to Beizhuang to recuperate, instead of letting your eldest sister suffer outside, and you are not allowed to say a bad word about Ning Hua in the future, otherwise I will pull out your tongue first!" After speaking, he kicked over the table in front of him, and suddenly spilled the medicine and candied fruit on the ground, and then walked out angrily.

Shen Linghan's face was first snow-white, then slowly reddened, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood:

"Shen Ninghua, you don't have to die!"
