Chapter 29: Weakness
"Xiuyan, tell your mother honestly, where have you been these days?" Ziran pulled Li Xiuyan aside and asked in a heavy tone.
"Mother. ”
Without waiting for Li Xiuyan to reply, Li Shuyao, who heard the movement, ran out of the room.
"Shu Yao!"
Seeing that Li Shuyao was safe and sound, Ziran's hanging heart could finally land.
She and Li Chen had heard about the Shen family, and they were more worried about Li Shuyao's safety than Li Xiuyan. Because they didn't know that Li Xiuyan was also involved.
"What's the matter, you brothers and sisters are ......" Li Chen was a little confused.
Li Xiuyan rubbed the back of his head, knowing that Li Chen cared about him, and he didn't blame him, and directly told Li Chen and Ziran what had happened in the last few days.
After hearing this, the couple was shocked, but at the same time they were also very relieved that at least the two children were safe and sound.
"By the way, Dad, what's the situation of the Shen family now?" Li Xiuyan asked. "I went there before I came back, and the gate was guarded by officers and soldiers. ”
"The Shen family ......," Li Chen sighed, "It's not good, it is said that the whole family has been arrested and taken to the City Lord's Mansion." ”
"I was arrested and went to the City Lord's Mansion!" Li Xiuyan was taken aback, "Why?"
"What is rumored outside is that Shen Jianxin, the eldest son of the Shen family, led people to assassinate the Northern Hell Marquis. ”
"How is this possible!" Li Xiuyan said, suddenly thinking of something, "Could it be ......?"
Li Chen nodded, "If what you said is true, then the person who directed all this must be that Lingyin Fairy." Although the whole thing sounds flawed, no one cares. After all, the Marquis of the Northern Underworld was really assassinated and seriously injured. There were also more than one or two people in the City Lord's Mansion, and Shen Jianxin was seen in the assassins' ranks. ”
Li Xiuyan couldn't help but nod and sneered, this Ling Yin Fairy is really a big hand.
Then he asked Li Chen, "The Shen Jianxin who assassinated the Northern Immortal Marquis didn't get caught in the end, right?"
Li Chen shook his head slightly, "No." ”
Li Xiuyan rubbed his chin, so that it was certain that Shen Jianxin, who assassinated the Northern Hell Marquis, must be an impostor, and his appearance was to blame the real Shen Jianxin for the crime of assassinating the Northern Hades Marquis, so as to harm the Shen family and force the City Lord's Mansion to attack the Shen family.
From this point of view, Fairy Ling Yin's deal with the Shen family is not accidental, but has been planned for a long time, is it really as I guessed, Fairy Ling Yin is the illegitimate daughter abandoned by the head of the Shen family, and this time I came back, specifically to seek revenge on the Shen family?
If that's the case, then it's their family affair, and everyone has to pay for their mistakes, no one is exempt, and no matter what the outcome is, they have to face it calmly.
Can...... If it wasn't like that, what was Fairy Ling Yin doing this for?
"Xiuyan, Shu Yao, it's been a mess outside recently, you two have nothing to do, so don't go out yet. Li Chen told in a deep voice, he didn't want Li Xiuyan and Li Shuyao to be involved in this matter.
"What about Miss Shen?" Li Xiuyan stared at Li Chen's eyes, he wanted to know what kind of person his cheap dad was. In the memory of the predecessor, there is not much that is known about this father. After all, few parents can really understand their parents.
"Miss Shen......" Li Chen pondered for a moment, and then looked at Ziran beside him with a soliciting gaze.
"You are the head of the family, and they all listen to you. Ziran smiled warmly.
Li Chen suddenly puffed up his chest, "Miss Shen will stay in our house first, this is Xicheng, and the Northern Underworld Army generally does not come here, so it is relatively safer." ”
Li Xiuyan was very satisfied with Li Chen's decision, he was really not a timid and afraid person, and he called him Daddy in vain.

"Don't!"
That night, Shen Xuanbing was suddenly awakened from her sleep, she dreamed that her father and relatives were sent to the execution ground, and even Shen Jianxin, who had escaped, was arrested.
As the executioner's butcher's knife fell, his family died one by one under the butcher's knife and became the souls of the dead.
And she was splashed all over her body by the hot blood of her relatives, which woke her up from her sleep.
After dinner, Li Xiuyan told Shen Xuanbing about the situation of the Shen family, although Shen Xuanbing didn't say anything at the time, but her face became extremely ugly, Li Shuyao was worried about her emotions, and she didn't dare to fall asleep, and when she heard Shen Xuanbing's exclamation, she immediately got out of bed and went to light the lamp.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shuyao saw that Shen Xuanbing was sweating profusely, and hurriedly took a towel to wipe her face.
Shen Xuanbing adjusted her breathing for a while, squeezed out a smile and said to Li Shuyao: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Li Shuyao has been by her side for a day or two, and she can see at a glance that something is okay, "Miss, if there is anything, you just say it, I can't do it, and my brother." ”
Shen Xuanbing smiled and patted Li Shuyao's little hand, "I'm really fine, you go to sleep, I just had a nightmare, I'll sleep after a while." ”
Where can Li Shuyao sleep, under the pretext of going to the toilet, as soon as he went out, he went to Li Xiuyan's room.
She was sure that Shen Xuanbing had something in her heart, and she was very worried, so she had to go to Li Xiuyan for help.
In the past, if something happened, she would definitely not bother Li Xiuyan, because she knew that Li Xiuyan didn't like her, but after this time, she felt as if she was wrong, or Li Xiuyan had changed, even if it was a small thing, she wanted to go to Li Xiuyan, not hypocrisy, but like the feeling of being spoiled by her brother.
Li Xiuyan rarely sleeps, but whenever he has time, he will meditate and cultivate to improve his soul power, which was like this in his previous life, and he works even harder in this life. After all, this is a world where the strong are respected, and without strength, there is no way to protect the people you want to protect.
"Brother, have you slept?" Li Shuyao was afraid of waking up Li Chen and Ziran, so she tried to keep the volume of the knock on the door to a minimum.
Hearing this, Li Xiuyan took a deep breath, ended his cultivation, and got out of bed to open the door for Li Shuyao.
"Is something wrong with her?" asked Li Xiuyan.
Li Shuyao covered her mouth in surprise, "How do you know?"
Li Xiuyan smiled, "Say, what's wrong? ”
Li Shuyao's face flushed, "Brother, what do you want!"
"I'm just kidding, look at you're nervous. Li Xiuyan raised his hand and poked Li Shuyao's head, "Say, what's wrong?"
Shen Xuanbing was lying on the bed alone, her face was full of anger and unwillingness, her two little hands grabbed her thighs fiercely, her nails were almost inserted into the flesh, but except for pain, she didn't feel anything else, her legs were like decorations, and she couldn't even do something as trivial as moving her toes......
"Dad, brother, are you okay......" Shen Xuanbing was sad, two lines of hot tears quietly slid across her beautiful but slightly pale cheeks, she had never felt so powerless as now.
