One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Shen Ninghua was in the limelight at the banquet. Everyone's eyes were focused on her. Since Shen Dong had come at this time, how could she refuse to come out? Otherwise, the rumors and slanders tomorrow would engulf her Canton Palace.

"Bai Yan, prepare some tea for father."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua changed into a new set of clothes and personally walked to the entrance. She bowed towards Shen Zhu and said, "Greetings, father."

Compared to the last time he saw him, Shen Dong's appearance was much more haggard. When he was the prime minister, he placed great emphasis on maintaining his health, but now he was calculating his livelihood every day. The huge gap between them was unbearable.

"Condensing Flowers." Shen Dong's lips moved, not knowing how to face his daughter.

Shen Ninghua's expression was the same as usual. "Father, since you've come here, how can you speak outside the door? Your daughter has already prepared tea for you, please come in."

Shen Dong nodded and strode into the princess' mansion.

When he returned to the place where he once lived, even though he had another purpose, he could not help but feel his heart tremble. This garden that the Emperor bestowed upon him had already changed a lot, and without the fake mountain pavilion that he liked, it felt more spiritual and beautiful. "Xiao Hua, are you used to living here by yourself?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "It's my own house, where are you unaccustomed to it? Isn't it the same?"

Shen Dong laughed dryly, "You're right too."

Shen Dong was stunned, seeing that the outside of the yard had changed a lot, he had thought that Rui Xi hall would also change greatly, he had not expected that other than a few additional decorations, the rest would be the same as when he left, he could not help but be stunned:

"This place..."

Although Father has left, this is still your courtyard. Due to the rules, I have to move here to show you that I am the master of the house, but other than adding a few pieces of furniture, I haven't changed anything else. If Father can move back one day, then this place can just be vacated. Shen Dong definitely had a reason for coming here, and this reason might even be related to Shen Ling Han.

Shen Ling Han was his beloved pearl that he grew up with, she was just a trash. Although Shen Dong had the intention of giving up on Shen Ling Han last time, but a few days have passed, and no one knows if things will change or not. Therefore, it is very necessary to draw a cake for Shen Dong in advance.

He was now a princess, and Shen Ling Han was nothing at all. Furthermore, he would have to spend the rest of his life in bed, so which daughter would be of help to him?

"Now that I'm wearing the body of a criminal, how could I dare to be delusional?" Shen Dong said this, but a flame ignited in his eyes. Right now, no matter how down and out he was, how much he longed to gain power!

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, concealing the mockery in her eyes. "Father is right, 30 years has passed, 30 years has passed, the matter has gone back and forth, who can say for sure?" Right, did my sister get well from getting injured last time? "

Thinking about Shen Ling Han, Shen Dong suddenly remembered his purpose for coming here, and became hesitant: "She is now … … "Sigh …"

"Father, why are you sighing? But what's wrong with little sister's injury?"

"Hmm, last time she sprained her leg, it started to swell up. Now, she can't even get out of bed. Dr. Zhang Nian has also seen it before. She said it's..." If I say it's a cripple, it's probably a cripple. "

Shen Ninghua's expression changed, "So it's like this, what a pity."

"Xiao Hua, father knows it's hard to say it now, but as Ling Han's sister, you can't just watch as she destroys the rest of her life, can you?"

"What does father mean by this?" The main show was here!

"You and Chen Yuan Zheng are not really friends. How about you ask Chen Yuan to let Ling Han have a look?"

"Father!" Shen Dong trembled in fright. "I'll pretend I've never heard of this before. Father, don't say anymore."

Hearing such a blunt rejection, a fire rose in Shen Dong's heart: "Ling Han is your sister, are you not going to save her?"

"If I had not saved her, I would not have asked Doctor Zhang Nian to treat her. Father, you only saw that I have a personal relationship with the Chen Courtyard, why don't you think about the meaning behind this. Being able to obtain the appreciation of Chen Yuan Zheng was not easy, but at a critical moment, this little face could save his life! Dr. Zhang Nian and Chen Yuan are good friends. Back then, Dr. Zhang came to our house and was recommended by Chen Yuan. The two of them had similar medical skills, but each had their own strengths. He decided that if his little sister's leg couldn't recover, then it really couldn't recover. It was the same if he invited a golden immortal from the Great Luo Empire! "Is father going to waste a precious opportunity to accomplish something that has already been decided?"

Shen Dong valued benefits the most, he knows how to choose!

Sure enough, Shen Dong immediately became silent upon hearing Shen Ninghua's words.

Shen Ninghua continued, "Father, didn't you praise Dr. Zhang before as well? Why would you doubt his medical skills this time around?"

Shen Dong shuddered, thinking of Shen Ling Han's previous conversation:

"Father, Big Sis is now a noble princess. It would be of great use to us if anything were to leak out from between our fingers. But look how long she's been bestowed the title of County Lord and this time she's even made a name for herself in the palace banquet, but we didn't receive any benefits at all. She clearly forgot her duty and forgot that we're her blood-related family, so we should properly remind her of this. "

"What do you mean? Don't tell me you want to go against your big sister? "

"Father, you misunderstand me by saying this. My legs are already crippled, and there is no benefit in opposing elder sister. I am just scheming for father, don't you think that father has suffered enough like this? Shouldn't elder sister be filial to you as a daughter? Now that Big Sis has earned enough attention, Father only needs to let everyone know that you are the biological father of Princess Zhao Hua and that she is receiving tens of thousands of praises while you are suffering! "

How could Shen Dong not know what Shen Lingghan was thinking? She simply wanted to use her reputation to threaten Shen Ninghua. If it was possible that he would ruin her, then he had to think about it alone for a long time before finally arriving at the Duke's Mansion.

The ridicule in Shen Ninghua's eyes became even more obvious. "Father, even though I'm Princess Yaohua now, you've been an official for many years now, and you know more about me than I do. Now that the Emperor likes me, I'll be the next Emperor.

Xiao Hua, what are you thinking about? Father believes in Doctor Zhang's medical skills, so he just asked casually, and the most important thing is to come see you, you also saw that Ling Han's legs are crippled, Yulan is confused, and Meng Yuan is even more ignorant. Your brother is in exile, so I'm not sure if we can meet again in the future, but Father doesn't have anyone to talk to, he can only come here to see you.

Shen Dong is really thick-skinned, he can even say such shameless words, to put it bluntly, isn't he more useful than Shen Ling Han?

"So that's how it is. It seems that I've decided to change my mind."

Shen Dong's face had a smile on it as he reminisced about Shen Ninghua's past. "Your mind has always been sensitive. When your birth mother passed away, who could hold you and cry like that? But in the end, you were quiet in my arms …"

Shen Ninghua listened with a smile, but his eyes were ice-cold without any warmth. When she was young, she did admire Shen Dong, but he had watched her punish him time and time again without seeing it. He had protected her again and again, and he had indulged Shen Ling Han time and time again to wipe out all of her desire for her father. Now, no matter how much he said, it did not stir the slightest bit in her heart.

Shen Dong was still full of vigor as he recalled, and Bai Yu entered the door to report, "Miss, Young Master Chu is outside asking for an audience."

Shen Ninghua was stunned. Chu Junyi? Wasn't he in the manor just now?

"Father, what do you think?"

"Since someone has come to visit, we naturally cannot refuse their entry. Just invite them in. With father here, it's not a secret meeting with an outsider."

The corner of Shen Ninghua's mouth twitched. If you're not here, how could I not meet you?

"Bai Yan, invite young master Chu in."

He was wearing a jade crown and a robe with golden stripes on it. He had a rhinoceros horn belt around his waist, a white jade pendant on his left side, and an exquisite scallop bag on his right. He wore spotless black python boots on his feet.

"I, Chu Feng, greet the princess."

Shen Ninghua suppressed the praise in his eyes and asked, "Sir Chu, there's no need to be so polite. May I know why you've come?"

"I am here to deliver the gift for the princess in the place of the Xiao family. Someone, bring the gift up! " Chu Jun held his folding fan and tapped it against his palm. Immediately, a servant walked up with two chests.

"The princess has been praised by the emperor and has brought glory to the Great An Nation. The Xiao family has specially sent a gift to congratulate you. I hope that the princess will not mind." As he finished speaking, he winked at Shen Ninghua with a crafty glint in his eyes.

Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment. She immediately understood what this person meant. He was here to back her up! The attitude of the Xiao family also represented the attitude of many officials in the court. Now that the emperor valued her and she had won glory for the greater good, the loss of her would mean she would be rammed into the face of the enemy.

He clearly knew that the Xiao family's status was not as high as it used to be. Although the current emperor didn't place any importance on the Xiao family, the name of the hundred year old family wasn't just for show. Luckily, he didn't listen to Shen Linghan's opinion earlier, otherwise, he would be in trouble now.

He kicked the door open, and cursed at Shen Ling Han: "You evil creature, you even schemed against your own father, you truly brought it up for nothing. If I knew that you were as malicious as your mother, I would have sent you to another village to recuperate and not let your elder sister suffer outside. In the future, I will not allow you to speak any more bad words, or else I will pull your tongue out!" After saying that, he kicked over the table in front of him. Instantly, the medicinal juice and candied fruits splattered all over the floor. Then, he left the room in a rage.

Shen Ling Han's face turned snow-white, and then slowly turned red. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood:

"Shen Ninghua, you will die a horrible death!"
