Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Lin Xixia could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.

She stared at Shen Chenxi with cold eyes, thinking that it must be his doing, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Her heart was filled with complex emotions, including hatred for Shen Chenxi and fear of his methods.

She thought her plan was flawless, but she didn't expect that Shen Chenxi seemed to have seen through everything.

She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She suspected that Shen Chenxi had known about their plan for a long time and had even set a trap before they took action.

Then, she set her eyes on Shen Chenhui. Since Shen Chenxi couldn't be controlled, what about Shen Chenhui?

Maybe there is still hope...but now, she has no choice.

Now that things have come to this, we have to find a way to maximize the value of this matter.

So, she turned around and said to Shen Yaowen gently: "Master, since it has happened, for the sake of our family's reputation, why not let these two children get married!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Lin Yun, whose face was pale and full of tears.

"This is my eldest brother's most beloved daughter. I wanted to bring her to the capital to play for a few days, but I didn't expect something like this to happen now."

At this point, Lin Xixia sighed, and then continued, "I thought, why not register Chenhui under my name! This way I can give an explanation to my eldest brother."

After saying this, she looked at Shen Yaowen with pleading eyes, as if begging him to agree to this.

When Shen Chenhui heard these words, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he was secretly delighted in his heart. He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly and succeed so easily!

However, Shen Yaowen looked at Lin Xixia deeply and rejected her without thinking.

"We can discuss the marriage, but don't mention the adoption anymore."

Lin Xixia showed an expression of disbelief on her face, and asked excitedly: "Master, why? Even if Chenhui is adopted by me, it will not have any impact on Chenxi!"

She originally thought that Shen Yaowen would definitely agree to her request. After all, considering the children's future, he should consider this matter carefully. But she never expected that he would refuse so decisively.

Shen Yaowen's voice became very cold, and his words made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

"I remember that you said before Shishi died that you would not allow a second legitimate son to affect Chenxi's status in this mansion."

Lin Xixia was stunned when she heard this. These words were like a bucket of cold water that poured over her heart.

He knew, he actually knew. No wonder no children had been born in the mansion since that woman died. Was this the reason?

Shen Chenxi didn't know about this, so the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Yaowen was a bit complicated. He couldn't quite understand him.

There was silence in the hall, as if time had stood still.

After a while, Lin Xixia managed to force a smile and said with a guilty tone: "I was in a hurry and just wanted to give my brother an explanation, so I forgot about it! I was too reckless, and I won't mention it again in the future."

Shen Yaowen nodded, indicating that the matter was over.

Then, his eyes fell on the two people standing below again.

He has been in the officialdom for many years, so he is naturally well aware of these things.

In addition, he himself had experienced similar situations in a confused manner, but he was just unwilling to make it clear.

He looked at Shen Chenhui with complicated eyes and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Shen Chenhui stood in the study, with his back straight, facing Shen Yaowen, his voice firm and powerful: "Father, although I don't know what's going on.

But since I have done it, I must take responsibility. I am willing to marry her and give her a legitimate status."

Shen Yaowen's face was still gloomy. He looked at Shen Chenhui and then at Shen Chenxi.

"What do you think about this matter, Chenxi?"

Shen Chenxi did not answer, but looked at Shen Chenhui and said: "Second brother, do you know the purpose of Lin Yun entering my study?"

Shen Chenhui was stunned and looked at Shen Chenxi in confusion: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Chenxi did not answer directly, but turned around, opened the door, and said to the outside: "Please ask the court doctor to come in."

Soon, the court doctor hurried into the hall of the courtyard, holding an exquisite handkerchief in his hand.

Shen Chenxi took the handkerchief and handed it to Shen Chenhui: "This is the handkerchief that Lin Yun dropped. There is aphrodisiac residue on it."

The court doctor nodded and confirmed, "There is indeed powder on it, and it is a strong aphrodisiac. You will be affected if you smell it or get it on you.

Now I have processed the powder, but the smell still remains a little bit."

After the court doctor finished speaking, he went out very consciously. He felt that it would be better for him not to stay.

Shen Chenhui took the handkerchief, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He took it and smelled it, and indeed found that there was a faint fragrance on the handkerchief, which made him feel complicated.

Then he acted as if he was deeply shocked, muttering to himself: "How...how is this possible? Why would my cousin do this?"

When Lin Yun saw the handkerchief, she was shocked and subconsciously touched her cuffs, but found that the handkerchief was gone. She was immediately panicked, wondering what had happened and why it was there.

Shen Chenxi looked at the slightly trembling Lin Yun with a cold look in his eyes.

What he said was also meaningful: "She may have been instructed by others, or she may have done it out of her own selfish motives.

But no matter what the reason was, her behavior was premeditated. She deliberately seduced me. Even if she ended up making a mistake, it was her own fault. "

After saying this, Shen Chenxi softened her tone, looked at Shen Chenhui and continued: "You can give her the status of a concubine. As for your legal wife, you are still young! When you pass the imperial examination next year, I will naturally find a better marriage for you."

Hearing this, Lin Xixia could no longer sit still. She stood up angrily and loudly refuted, "Absolutely not! I strongly oppose it!

Don’t you care what others think?

If my niece becomes the concubine of a bastard, how will outsiders view our family and me when they know about this? "

Shen Chenxi stared at her indifferently and responded calmly: "I think you may have forgotten that you were also promoted by your aunt.

Do you need me to help you recall how you entered the palace? "

After saying this, Shen Chenxi looked at the disbelieving expressions of the people present. Facing those murderous eyes, he was not afraid at all, but instead showed a mocking smile.

Then, he continued, "Your niece is just the daughter of a country gentleman. She was able to enter the Minister's residence because of your face."

At this time, Shen Chenhui, who had been watching the show on the side, felt that he could not let his elder brother continue talking, otherwise his business would be ruined.

So, she said softly, "Brother, don't say that. No matter how you look at it, it's the girl who suffers. It's okay. I am willing to marry him."

Hearing Shen Chenhui say this, Lin Xixia felt relieved. Although she still felt uneasy, at least someone was standing on her side.

She quickly seized the opportunity and turned to Shen Chenhui: "Are you really willing? You have to know that this kind of thing is not a joke!"

At this moment, Lin Yun looked at him as if she had found a life-saving straw.
