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

Chapter 698: Room 2 Arrives at the Battlefield

The moon's shadow flickers.

The two people stood under the corridor for a long time before quietly leaving the yard.

The two walked side by side in silence.

Before parting, Shen Yuan stopped and glanced at Shen Qian. Seeing that he had been looking down in thought, he took the initiative to speak, "I noticed something was wrong when I just entered the room. Now it seems that these two people are really up to something."

Shen Qian raised his head, his expression extremely solemn.

Shen Yuan continued, "No wonder Shen Lanxi repeatedly came to the rescue of that girl. I was wondering how someone as icy as a statue could suddenly become humane. I didn't expect it to be like this. Big brother, this is not a good thing. That girl got half of the third house's assets and is deeply loved by the old man. If the two of them team up, we won't have a say in the Shen family before Shen Lanxi becomes a powerful figure."

These words touched Shen Qian's sore spot.

He has endured for so many years, if he still loses to Shen Xi's son, he might as well kill himself.

Shen Qian slowly exhaled and shook his head. "Back then, the old man didn't hesitate to offend everyone in the Shen Garden in order to get Jiang Huashan admitted to the ancestral family. Although this girl is registered under the name of Shen Jiao, everyone outside treats her as a legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Shen Lanxi and her? Isn't this incest?"

"That's why this matter is even more serious."

Shen Yuan looked around and lowered his voice, "Think about it, what is Shen Lanxi's status? Just relying on the old man's respect for him and the foundation left by Shen Xi, he already holds the top power in Country A. Marriage is just icing on the cake for him. But if he chose Jiang Huashan, it would be a different story."

"The old man dotes on Jiang Huashan more than his own son or daughter. If Shen Lanxi chooses Jiang Huashan, it will relieve the old man's century-long worries."

Shen Qian's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded in agreement, "That's right, the old man was most afraid that Jiang Huashan would be left alone after a hundred years, otherwise he wouldn't have given away Xiao Shen Garden in the first place."

"Speaking of Xiao Shen Garden, Lan Xi married Jiang Huashan, so Xiao Shen Garden will be in his pocket. With the wholehearted help of the old man and Shen Jiao, the position of the head of the family may be..." Shen Yuan observed Shen Qian's expression, and stopped talking immediately when he saw that he was unhappy.

Shen Qian, "I always feel like something's wrong. With Shen Lanxi's status, he can have any woman he wants. Why would he let himself be accused of incest?"

"Brother, you are confused! Jiang Huashan is just registered under Shen Jiao's name, and has never changed her surname to the outside world. They are not related by blood. These two are both the old man's treasures. If they really become a pair, can the old man really break them up?"

Shen Yuan's words were well-reasoned. Seeing that Shen Qian had not expressed his opinion, he continued to attack fiercely, "Looking at the attitude of the two of them tonight, I'm afraid they have been interacting for a long time. Big brother, are you really not on guard?"

A dark current stirred in Shen Qian's eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned and looked at Shen Yuan. "If they really fell in love, how could I prevent them? Even if I controlled the heavens and the earth, I couldn't prevent two young people from falling in love with each other."

The corners of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. "What's so hard to control? Why not just make one of them disappear?"

Shen Qian disagreed. "This is the old house, and the whole family is on Shen Lanxi's side. The old man will be here in a few days. Do you think your life is too long to take action now?"

"The whole clan is on Shen Lanxi's side, but not necessarily on that damn girl's side, right? I think Shen Hang has a strong prejudice against her, so why not take advantage of her? It seems that Grandma can't hold on for much longer. If she dies, everyone in the clan will come over, and it will be easier to take action when there are more people around."

Shen Yuan looked shrewd and calculating.

Shen Qian still couldn't make up his mind. It wasn't that he didn't dare to kill, but he always felt that this was not the best way to break the deadlock.

"Brother, don't you forget how many times this girl has caused us to stumble? Even if Shen Lanxi wasn't here, we should have taken the initiative."

Shen Yuan was a little dissatisfied when he saw Shen Qian's hesitation. In order to prevent Shen Lanxi from returning to Jinggang, Shen Qian directly set up a killing trap on the way to Xiangying. Why did he become hesitant now just because he had a little girl?

Shen Qian waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this again." Then he turned and walked towards his own villa.

"You just said... that Shen Lanxi and Jiang Huashan are having an affair. What... do you mean?"

Shen Guiling sat on a large rattan chair under the window, tapping the armrests lightly with her fingertips, her posture relaxed and lazy.

In comparison, Shen Qian on the other side was not so calm. He walked around the room while talking on the phone, looking very anxious.

"I've made it so obvious, why don't you understand? Shen Lanxi! And! Jiang Huashan! Are hooking up!!!"

Shen Guiling paused, then slowly straightened up and sat up. "Hook up? Are you sure?"

Shen Qian pinched his brows, not as calm as he was in front of Shen Yuan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Today at the old house, those old guys wanted to use the rules to deal with Jiang Huashan, but they were all blocked by Shen Lanxi. Just now in Grandma Wu's room, your second uncle and I saw them holding hands. After leaving the yard, the two of them even picked dates together, showing no sign of avoiding suspicion at all."

"..." Shen Guiling lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then slowly sat back down, with a smile on his face, "It's just picking some fruit, it's nothing..."

Shen Qian didn't expect Shen Guiling to be so naive. He said in a deep voice, "Ah Ling, you can understand other things at once, but why can't you see through this? Can just anyone pick those red dates together? They're so prosperous and have a baby soon, and they don't even shy away from outsiders. It seems they've been hooking up for more than a day or two."

Shen Guiling, "..."

Shen Qian turned around and sat down, staring at the moon outside the window in a daze. "I've been planning this for so long, I can't let them ruin my plan. Your second uncle means to take advantage of the day of the great grandmother's funeral to kill that dead girl."

If Shen Qian had agreed to Shen Yuan's plan, he would not have called him at this time. The deception of these years finally took effect.

"What does father mean?" Shen Guiling asked calmly.

A dark light flashed in Shen Qian's eyes. He was hesitating whether to speak or not when Shen Guiling's voice came to his ears again.

"Are you hesitating? Grandma Wu means a lot to the Shen family. The whole clan will surely be present on the day of her funeral. Having so many people is one thing, but being the target of public criticism is another.

If successful, can Father be sure to escape the charges under Grandpa's watch? If unsuccessful, can Father withstand the judgment of the entire clan?"

"Therefore, Second Uncle cannot be trusted, and his heart is worthy of death."

The gloom in Shen Qian's eyes dissipated instantly, and his eyes were full of relief. "The one who understands me is still A Ling."

"Shen Yuan's words are indeed unbelievable, but this plan involving Shen Lanxi and Jiang Huashan must not be allowed to proceed. Since we can't kill them for the time being, we can only change our strategy."

Shen Qian slowed down his tone and spoke tentatively, "Ah Ling, Jiang Huashan must not fall into the hands of the eldest wife, so... do you understand what Dad means?"

Shen Guiling, “…………”

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Qian simply asked, "A Ling, are you willing to share Dad's worries?"

"Share your worries?" Shen Guiling's voice was calm as usual. "Father wants me to seduce Jiang Huashan? Before it was to please her, now it's to seduce her?"

Shen Qian felt a rare sense of guilt. "This is just the best solution I can think of right now. Don't worry, Dad won't let you suffer in vain. When you destroy their relationship, I will definitely compensate you..."

Before he could finish, the person on the other end of the phone answered.

"Good~"

I will definitely break it!
