The front hall of the Shen family

At this time, the front hall of the Shen family was brightly lit, and compared with the dilapidated courtyard in the early Shen Qing Dynasty, it was simply heaven and earth.

I saw Shen Sihai and a middle-aged woman sitting in the middle at this time, talking softly, while Shen Rong'er was standing beside the woman obediently, looking like a small jasper.

"Master, do you remember how much my father attached great importance to this granddaughter in the early Qing Dynasty, and he took it with him almost every day. But after learning that she couldn't cultivate, my father sighed a few times, handed over the Qing Chu to us, and asked you to teach well, since you can't cultivate, find a good home for her when she grows up. ”

The one who spoke was the middle-aged woman sitting next to Shen Sihai, Shen Sihai's concubine-Meng Xin, the sister of Meng Yong, the great elder of the Qingyun Sect, and Shen Rong'er's biological mother.

"I remember it", Shen Sihai looked at Meng Xin and replied softly.

After Shen Pingchuan told him this, he handed over the position of head of the family to him and went into retreat, and this retreat was more than ten years, and he has not yet come out of the customs.

"Although she can cultivate at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, she only practiced Qi level 1 at the age of 15, and I am afraid that she will not have any cultivation in this life. In that case, why don't you take advantage of this competition to settle her family affairs?"

Meng Xin saw Shen Sihai's careless and ignorant appearance, reached out and took out a jade plate from his arms and handed it to Shen Sihai.

"Master, this is the Qingyun Sect's exercise, Flame Decision, this exercise is not like others, you have to cultivate to a certain level before you can practice. Qi cultivation level 1 can also be cultivated, and then as the cultivation level increases, the power exerted by the exercises will gradually increase. ”

"Who are you?" Shen Sihai looked at Meng Xin and asked puzzled.

"Master, this Qing Dynasty has just been able to cultivate, and it must be on the rise, so it must be a shirk for this marriage. Although the marriage is a major event, it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. But if we do this, when my father is out of the customs, you will not be able to explain it. Therefore, I specially asked my brother for this Qingyun Sect's exercises, so that he could practice in the early Qing Dynasty. After three months, let Qing Chu and Rong'er participate in the martial arts competition, then she will understand her gap, and she will naturally agree to this marriage. ”

Listening to Meng Xin's words, Shen Sihai woke up like a dream, nodding his head while brushing his beard, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

Meng Xin is worthy of being the woman he Shen Sihai fancies, not only thoughtful, but also has such a temperament and demeanor, Rong'er really followed his mother.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Shen Rong'er again, and he was even more satisfied.

"Xin'er has wronged you all these years. ”

Shen Sihai secretly decided that when his father was out of the customs, he would tell his father that after Shen Qingchu got married, he would correct the name of Meng Xin's mother and daughter, and let her be his eldest lady of the Shen Mansion in the right name.

Shen Qingchu came to the door, looking at the warm picture in front of him, not only did he feel a chill in his heart.

Is it the same daughter of Shen Sihai, just because she can't cultivate, she was abandoned to a remote courtyard to fend for herself?

Hehe, this continent is still so realistic.

Shen Qingchu slowly walked in front of Shen Sihai, bowed and said, "I don't know what happened when my father called his daughter late at night?"

Shen Sihai didn't call Shen Qingchu to come, although he had just heard Meng Xin's words, he really wanted to call her.

Shen Sihai looked at Shen Qingchu who came closer, his face was puzzled, so he casually picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the tea inside, and looked at Shen Qingchu in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.

At this time, the girl was standing in the middle of the front hall, like a blue lotus that had just come out of the water, and the spiritual power around her body slowly fluctuated, and the momentum was a little more powerful than during the day.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Shen Sihai's face did not have the slightest sense of pride after seeing his daughter break through, on the contrary, it was cold and not half emotional, as if the person in front of him had nothing to do with him.

In fact, this Shen Qingchu is really a cheap girl for nothing to Shen Sihai. It's all because of this Shen Qingchu, it was a baby girl that Shen Pingchuan suddenly hugged back to the Shen family one day.

At that time, Shen Pingchuan threatened him as the head of the Shen family, asking him to recognize the baby girl as a concubine and raise her, and even stated that the matter could not be made public, so as not to attract the disaster of killing, because only Shen Sihai and Shen Pingchuan knew about this matter.

But because of this incident, Meng Xin could only marry into the Shen Mansion as a concubine, and it was because of Shen Sihai and the old master of the Shen family that they had a grudge against each other.

At this time, Meng Xin saw that Shen Sihai was distracted, smiled slightly, and opened his mouth first: "At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, of course it was a good thing that your father called you here. ”

Shen Sihai was recalled by Meng Xin's words, coughed lightly twice, and said: "Today, I see that you can already cultivate, and you can participate in the competition after three months." ”

After hearing what Shen Sihai said, Shen Qingchu was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and replied: "Father, the child is only a level 1 qi practice, and he has not yet started to practice martial arts, I am afraid that going to this martial arts competition will only embarrass the Shen family." ”

I don't know what kind of medicine this old fox sells in the gourd this time.

Shen Qingchu thought so, and when he raised his head again, he met Meng Xin's arrogant and cold eyes.

At this time, Meng Xin had long lost the motherly tenderness just now, and was replaced by the coldness in his eyes.

Hate.

How could she not hate, if it weren't for this baby girl, she would have been the head of the Shen Mansion now. It's just because she and her mother who doesn't know where to go, for so many years, although she has already held real power in this Shen Mansion, she is still a concubine, and Rong'er has also become a concubine.

However, because Shen Qingchu couldn't cultivate, she had always had an attitude of turning a blind eye to her, just waiting for her to fend for herself.

However, when Shen Rong'er came back today, she cried to her and told her that this Shen Qingchu could not only cultivate, but also framed her for having a personal relationship with Gu Tian.

Thinking of Rong'er's aggrieved appearance, her heart was crumbled.

Meng Xin saw Chun Xing standing at the door, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. What if you can cultivate, just a level 1 Qi cultivation is still a waste in this East China Sea City! You still want to stir up some storms! Shen Qingchu, since this is the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Thinking of this, Meng Xin's eyes looking at Shen Qingchu were more ruthless, but they were fleeting, and they were immediately replaced by that motherly tenderness.

Although it was only for a moment, the ruthlessness that flashed by it still fell into Shen Qingchu's eyes.

Meng Xin smiled and picked up a jade plate from the table, and motioned for the maid next to him to take it to Shen Qingchu.

said: "Qing Chu, since you can already cultivate, then you can take this martial arts back and practice." This exercise was brought by your uncle from the Qingyun Sect, and even if it is level 1 Qi training, it can be cultivated. If you cultivate properly, you must have achieved something after March, and then you and Rong'er will participate in the competition held by the City Lord's Mansion together. But there is only one point, you and Rong'er are both representing our Shen family to participate in the competition, if you can't win the championship at that time, it can only prove that your talent is mediocre, and your father and I will talk to you about a family affair. ”

Shen Qingchu raised his head lightly, and his eyes were exceptionally clear. She looked at Shen Sihai, who was silent in the seat, and then looked at Meng Xin, who was sitting next to her with cold eyes, and sneered in her heart, she suddenly felt a little unworthy for the original owner, even though she was not valued in this Shen family, but she never felt that it was her father's fault, but because she couldn't cultivate. She blamed everything on herself. But today, Shen Sihai already knew that Shen Qingchu could cultivate, but he still couldn't wait to drive her out of the Shen Mansion.

Actually let a person who has just broken through the first level of Qi training go to learn martial arts exercises alone and then win the championship in martial arts? Hehe, you really look up to me, but since that's the case, then I won't let you look down on you anymore.

"The child obeys the order, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not disgrace the Shen Mansion, and it will not disappoint your expectations. ”

Shen Qingchu replied coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice. Then she took the jade dish sent by the maid, and without looking at it, she put it in her arms, turned around and walked out.

Meng Xin saw that Shen Qingchu had accepted the jade plate, and sneered in his heart.

Shen Qingchu, after March, you will have nothing to do with this Shen family.

As soon as Shen Qingchu walked to the door, he saw Chun Xing, who had just gone to call her, standing at the door at this time.

Shen Qingchu stopped, looked Chunxing up and down, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered.

This smile made Chun Xing tremble in fright, and her head lowered a little more.

"Chunxing, come here. ”

Shen Rong'er saw this scene inside, and hurriedly called Chunxing.

"Yes, Second Miss!"

Hearing Shen Rong'er's call, Chun Xing answered, hurriedly took a step back, bypassed Shen Qingchu, and walked quickly into the front hall with her head down.

Shen Qingchu didn't linger any longer, and walked out of the front hall and returned to the small courtyard.
