024 Repayment of gratitude

Shen Muyun had originally been secretly sizing up the grown up Xiao Qijun with a bashful expression. Hearing his words, he was angry, anxious, yet he didn't dare to say anything, instead he only bent over and sobbed sorrowfully in Qin's's embrace.

The Qin's hugged the shivering Shen Muyun and said unwillingly, "Your Highness must have seen wrongly!"

The situation in the imperial court had changed, and the battle for the throne was extremely intense. Although the Prime Minister's Palace secretly supported the crown prince, the Wu Wang had always been a deeply ingrained emperor, so they naturally could not be underestimated. At this time, he had to be even more careful. He couldn't be careless in the slightest.

No matter who was in the right or wrong, since the Wu Wang had spoken, the one who was at fault could only be Shen Muyun.

Shen Xinzhi looked at Qin mother and daughter in disgust and roared: Qin's, why aren't you bringing this little bastard back to the backyard? He caressed Shen Qingru's hair with a smile: "Ru'er, you suffered today. Father will definitely have Mu Yun apologize to you tomorrow. Today, you can leave with your grandmother. "

The speed at which Shen Xinzhi turned his face was indeed an eye-opener.

Shen Qingru replied indifferently.

So it turns out that this Shen Xinzhi did not simply love his dearly. After losing face for his daughter, Shen Xinzhi's "kind father" had scolded and loathed her.

It seemed that Shen Xinzhi and Shen Muyun had always maintained a father-daughter relationship, and was nothing more than Shen Muyun becoming the princess consort first, before being taken over by Xiao Qiyu as well. When she had first become the Empress, hadn't this good father who had chased her out of the family also expressed his congratulations and tried his best to please her?

In the eyes of a person like Shen Xinzhi, perhaps kinship was the most insignificant thing, and the most important thing was — power.

As for those who had no use for him, Shen Xinzhi was afraid that he would be treated as his abandoned son and abandoned mercilessly.

She wanted to see if Shen Muyun, who had lost her standing and reputation in this life, and who had nowhere to go, would still love each other forever.

Shen Xinzhi supported the Old Mistress and slowly walked her to the main hall. The birthday banquet was still ongoing, the guests were still waiting in the hall to pay their respects to the Old Mistress.

Shen Qingru silently stood where she was, a single drop of water landing on her fair cheeks as she gently raised her head. It was unknown when it started to drizzle. She indifferently turned around, preparing to return to her dwelling, but she found that Xiao Qiyu was still standing at her original position.

She would remember Xiao Qijun's kindness. One day, she would definitely repay him.

When he passed by Xiao Qijun, Shen Qingru stopped for a moment, and slightly nodded in gratitude. Xiao Qijun smiled back, and spat out a few words when they brushed shoulders.

"Your Highness, be careful of the rain in Weicheng."

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Xiao Qijun's body suddenly tensed up, her sharp phoenix eyes were filled with suspicion and shock, looking straight at her, as though asking for her answer.

Shen Qingru did not stop, the Wu Wang looked at the young lady whose clothes were fluttering in the wind, and continued to walk further and further away.

If she were to live a new life, then naturally she had to distinguish between gratitude and grievances. If there was a debt of gratitude, then she would definitely pay it all back!
