I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

The Shen family announced that Shen Yiji died of illness and was sent back to the old house in Xiangying for burial three days later.

His death did not cause much stir in Whale Harbor.

Instead, it was the Queen of the Bai family who visited Shen Garden for three consecutive days, which caused undercurrents among the high-ranking officials in Jinggang Port.

People who didn't know the truth speculated that the queen really had her eyes on the legitimate princess of Jinggang and was determined to persuade the old man of the Shen family to give her up.

For a time, Jiang Huashan's status rose further.

"Grandma, what's going on? That guy still refuses to see you?" Bai Mi was guarding the main hall on time. Seeing that there was no joy on Bai Zhula's face, he guessed the outcome of today.

This was the fifth day that the Queen had come to visit. She had heard that Shen Guiling's injuries had greatly improved and that he could now go out to collect folk songs. However, during these five days, she had met everyone in the Shen family, but Shen Guiling had never shown up once. It was obvious that he was avoiding her.

Bai Zhula sighed softly, his eyes full of doubt, "What went wrong?"

In a few days, she and Shen Zhuang would have nothing to say to each other. With the old fox's keen sense, he would definitely notice something.

Bai Mi spread his hands, "What else could it be? They simply don't want to come back."

Bai Zhula frowned, thought carefully for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Mi. "You are about the same age. Can you analyze for me what that child is thinking?"

Bai Mi touched his chin. "I originally thought he was so cold to me because he didn't know his own identity, but if what you said is true, he must have noticed it long ago. This matter may not be that simple."

Bai Zhula, "Go on."

"Grandma, think about it, if a normal person knew he was a prince stranded in a foreign country, wouldn't he immediately come back to curry favor with someone? Clearly, Shen Guiling is not normal!"

The queen was unhappy. "You are the Bai family, do you have the right to criticize others?"

"..." Bai Mi was so angry that he laughed, "Grandma, I've been by your side and filial to you for nineteen years, and that guy hasn't been with you for a single day. Aren't you being too partial?"

Queen, "You also know that I have been looking at your face for nineteen years? All the feelings have faded. But A Ling is different. He is fresh out of the oven."

Bai Mi sneered. What do you mean by freshly baked? Shen Guiling is not a steamed bun.

"go on."

"Yes." He responded in a hoarse voice and continued his analysis:

"By returning to the Bai family, Shen Guiling would gain nothing more than power, but he already has these now. You can see that even without the Bai family, with his abilities, he would have made a name for himself sooner or later. If I were him, I wouldn't be interested in facing a group of strangers and gambling on a throne with an uncertain future just for something that's within his grasp."

Being crowned is naturally something that people yearn for, but the road to the throne is littered with corpses. Shen Guiling is very clear-headed and knows that no one can be his master.

"Stranger?" The Queen's expression was somewhat complicated. "He is a child of the Bai family. How can the Bai family be considered a stranger to him?"

Bai Zhula was completely unaware that her faint blood ties as a member of the Bai family had been inexplicably awakened by Shen Guiling.

Bai Mi looked at the elder in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. "He was born and exiled to Country A. He has no memory of the Bai family in the past twenty years. We are strangers to him."

Although Bai Zhula didn't want to admit it, she also understood why Shen Guiling would rather stay in the Shen family and live under someone else's roof than go back to the Bai family with her.

The queen quickly accepted this fact and waved her hand, "Alright, let Patani make the arrangements and we'll go back to Country S."

Bai Mi was a little surprised that the Queen was so open-minded. "Are you planning to give up?"

Bai Zhula shook his head, and a strange soft light flashed in his eyes as warm as tea.

"Just wait. He's still young. When the day comes that the Shen family can no longer give him what he wants, he will naturally come back. He's a child of the Bai family, and our ancestors and gods will guide him."

Just when everyone in Jinggang was secretly speculating about what the Bai family was trying to do, Bai Zhula flew back to Country S overnight with the eldest princess. She didn't even say goodbye to the Shen family. This series of mysterious actions made the experienced and scheming scheming people in Jinggang say that they couldn't understand.

What exactly are the Bai and Shen families planning?

*

Xiangying old house.

Although Shen Che was driven to live in the Shen family, the house deeds and farm in Xiangying were purchased by him after he became an adult, and the Shen family had not taken it back. He had been staying in the old house during this period.

More than half a month has passed since Shen Yiji's death, but Shen Che still cannot get out of his grief.

Back then, he was afraid that he would implicate the two children, so he sent them away early. He didn't expect that in the end, the old man would send the young away.

Shen Che, with his unshaven beard, hugged Shen Yijie's spirit tablet, crying and laughing at the same time. "Ajie, didn't I tell you not to come back? Why are you so stubborn?"

"If he doesn't go back, does that mean I'm relying on you to avenge Shen Yize?"

Suddenly, a deep and cold male voice sounded outside the room.

Shen Che's expression immediately changed, and he looked towards the door fiercely, "Who!"

"Hehe..." The man chuckled.

The wooden door in front of him slowly opened, and a tall figure walked out from the light and shadow.

"Fourth Uncle, long time no see~"

A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Che's eyes, and his face was full of disbelief. "It's you? Why are you here? Old man..."

The man stepped across the light and shadows, his fair face showing a somewhat morbid gloom, but the corners of his mouth were always smiling, "So, I came here secretly. Fourth Uncle, please don't tell Grandpa."

Shen Che suddenly woke up, holding Shen Yijie's spirit tablet, and looked at the man in front of him with fear, "Anian, what do you want to do?"

Shen Nian walked around Shen Che with a smile on his face, "I heard that Ajie died, so I came to see him."

Shen Che clenched his fists tightly. The Shen Nian in front of him reminded him of a poisonous snake. Although he was smiling, his smile was full of malice and mockery.

Shen Che still can't forget the scene when they rushed to the elevated road that year.

At that time, five luxury cars collided, and three innocent victims were lying on the ground. Just because one of them pointed at Shen Nian and cursed him as a bad apple, he immediately drove over the victim. Because the incident happened suddenly, no one reacted. By the time everyone came to their senses and tried to stop it, the two people under the tires had already turned into meat patties...

At that time, Shen Nian's eyes were just like they are now, without any fear, but excited and evil.

Seeing Shen Che's unfriendly look, Shen Nian took the initiative to light three incense sticks, extinguished the sparks casually, and bowed down devoutly to the empty spirit tablet.

After bowing three times, he turned to look at Shen Che, holding the incense stick in his hand, "Fourth Uncle, do you want to know how Ajie and Aze died?"
