After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Tomorrow, I will probably be taken away by the government officials.

I just went to see Xier, and he told me everything about entering the palace.

I guess you know that too."

Shen Yunwan took out the imperial edict and placed it on the cracked table.

He wasn't surprised at all when he saw the cracked table.

Or rather, she doesn't care anymore.

Lin Chengfeng looked at the imperial edict on the table, his eyes fluctuating.

"This needs to be filed, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to Xi'er in the future."

Shen Yunwan would not doubt it now, and Lin Chengfeng would not file it.

Lin Chengfeng knew the stakes in this matter better than she did. Besides, the one in the palace wouldn't condone it.

"Okay." Lin Chengfeng stared at the imperial edict and responded.

"From now on... after Xi'er enters the palace, she will definitely be squeezed by people inside and outside the palace.

You…Shen Yunwan then looked at Lin Chengfeng, “Do your best to protect him.

That person is also moody, and it might make things difficult for Xier.

Please do whatever it takes to help him. You have to know that it's because of us, because we haven't been good enough parents to him.

That’s why he chose this thorny road, maybe…”

Shen Yunwan's voice was choked with sobs, "Maybe my child, my Xier, will never have the chance to grow up.

Just like him. "

Blood relationship is just an entry ticket to the palace. Once you enter, life or death doesn't matter. Only those who survive to the end have the chance to become a contender for that position.

Lin Chengfeng stretched out his hand, and then placed it awkwardly beside Shen Yunwan's arm.

I didn't dare touch her, even if it was just to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Xi'er will be fine as long as I'm here."

Lin Chengfeng's clenched fist fingers dug into the flesh on his palm.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Shen Yunwan bowed deeply to Lin Chengfeng.

Shen Yunwan's bow made Lin Chengfeng turn aside in self-mockery, "Yunwan, you don't have to do this.

They are my children too.”

Shen Yunwan didn't say anything else, but turned and left.

"Yunwan." Lin Chengfeng called out to stop Shen Yunwan who was about to leave.

He walked forward a few steps and approached Shen Yunwan.

“If I don’t tell you now, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance later.

From now on, you probably don't want to see me again, right?" Shen Yunwan didn't look back, but she didn't move forward either.

“I…I don’t want to defend myself, just like you said.

I am conceited and incompetent, paranoid and cowardly, and I am not a competent husband and father.

Yunwan, the environment in which I was born and raised has destined me to have defects that you cannot tolerate.

I am also changing and reflecting on myself, but...

Can you give me some time? Don't throw all our past on the ground like this.

Treat me like a stranger and ignore me.

We can never be strangers, can we?"

Shen Yunwan stood there quietly, listening to Lin Chengfeng's self-analysis word by word.

Of course she would feel upset.

It wasn't just him who caused all this. It was also her tolerance, even connivance.

Isn't she conceited and incompetent?

She was disappointed and resentful of herself.

She couldn't even forgive herself, so how could she have the right to understand Lin Chengfeng?

Shen Yunwan didn't say another word, nor did she look back, and walked out of the study.

Lin Chengfeng looked at his outstretched hand, which was empty, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he lowered his outstretched hand and slowly walked to the window.

Looking at the darkness outside the window, my heart seemed to be dyed black as well.

Wife and children left behind, these four words kept flashing through his mind.

It made his brain explode.

But there was no expression on his face.

It was like a volcano about to erupt, the rocks beneath the volcano had melted, but it looked calm outside.

Compared to Lin Chengfeng's inner resentment, Shen Yunwan, who returned to the main house, was not very angry except for her reluctance.

But she couldn't sleep peacefully all night.

Guarding Chunhua and watching her.

The next day, Lord Wang of Shuntian Prefecture stood outside the Lin Mansion somewhat helplessly.

In fact, he mentioned the report of a murder in a dilapidated temple outside the city last night.

When he got the general idea, he was extremely reluctant to take on this hot potato.

This will implicate everyone in the court.

The lineage of Prime Minister Liu, Eunuch A Shun who was sent out from the palace, and the troublemaker Lord Lin.

None of them can be offended by him.

Lord Wang didn't sleep well last night either.

However, due to his duty, he could only come to the Lin Mansion to arrest the biggest suspect, Mrs. Lin Shen Yunwan.

Mrs. Lin was also a heroine. She went to provide disaster relief and saved the people of the entire city. She had just been awarded the imperial edict when this incident happened.

As to why a lady of noble birth would kill an official of the time, he still had to investigate.

When Lord Wang thought about trying this lady of noble honor, he was extremely reluctant.

I don't know how to strike the right balance.

The main thing is that I don’t know the opinion of the person in the palace.

When Nanny Li saw the situation outside the door, she went to the main house in a panic.

"Mammy, I'll be counting on you to take care of this family from now on."

Shen Yunwan gave some instructions to Nanny Li and went out alone.

"Master Wang, I will go back to the yamen with you."

"Mother." Chunhua, Qiuhua, Lin Xiangxi and Lin Xiangbei walked to Shen Yunwan and grabbed her clothes.

“Go back…remember what I said to you yesterday.

Live a good life.”

Lord Wang looked around the mansion and found that Lord Lin was not there.

He felt relieved, yet a little flustered.

This Lord Lin must have entered the palace early in the morning.

Although he is the biggest suspect, he has not been convicted yet, and he still has an imperial decree.

He also didn't dare treat Shen Yunwan like an ordinary suspect.

Not to mention using shackles, even if Shen Yunwan was brought back to the yamen, they could only ask her to go back and investigate.

A carriage was also specially prepared for Shen Yunwan.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm sorry."

Shen Yunwan glanced at the children at the door, waved her hand, and got on the carriage.

This time, she knew that it would be difficult to get out of this prison.

Lin Chengfeng entered the palace before dawn.

In the imperial study, Lin Chengfeng, his official uniform still stained with dirt, stood upright.

The emperor frowned slightly as he looked at Lin Chengfeng, who looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

It seems that Lin Chengfeng didn't sleep the whole night.

The red bloodshot eyes make them look like aliens.

Grandpa Ashun didn't even dare to breathe, wishing that these two ancestors would not feel his presence.

“I was framed at yesterday’s palace banquet.

The princess of Nanxu Kingdom used an illusion on me.

My daughter was kidnapped to a dilapidated temple outside the city. My wife received a threatening letter and had to go alone to rescue her.

Those people bullied my wife and daughter..."

Lin Chengfeng paused, then raised his eyes to look at the emperor. "Yesterday, the child I had never met also died at their hands."

Eunuch A Shun looked up in astonishment, and then remembered the blood all over Shen Yunwan's hem, and suddenly realized what had happened.

It turned out that she had a miscarriage at that time.

A Shun didn't dare to look at Lin Chengfeng, nor did he dare to look at the emperor's expression.

The Buddhist beads in the emperor's hand also paused.
