This time, everyone's minds were clear. In fact, Shen Qi had also thought about this before, and she thought about it more, if she were to marry over and end up dead, then she would definitely not be able to live. If she was still unconscious, then she would have to be a widow.

Although she wasn't going to do anything, she still didn't want to say it out loud. After all, she was a bride, so Prince Duanren had no idea whether or not she would be honored by her position, even if she had to give face to the imperial family.

However, this was the best situation Shen Qi could think of. The previous two situations was a dead end, so it was even more impossible for them not to marry.

Although Shen Qi knew that she was not treated favorably, seeing that the others were all worried, and only the Eight Winds, who was not affected at all, did not have any reaction, her heart was still extremely cold. As expected, her life and death did not have anything to do with her.

Shen Qi laughed at herself in her heart. Didn't she already know the result? Why would I feel heartache?

The imperial edict had already been passed down, and even if they were unwilling, they couldn't possibly go against it. Therefore, Shen Qi bowed respectfully, "Old Ancestor, Father, Mother, Brothers, Xiao Qi will take her leave first."

Seeing Shen Qi's dejected look, Shen Weiyuan helplessly waved her hand, and said gently, "Go back and rest first, don't think too much into it, there's still us."

After Zi Zhu supported Shen Qi out of the room, Shen Weiyuan turned her head towards the Xu and said, "That is still your daughter, you better take care of yourself!" Then she turned around and left. The others were all confused, not understanding why the old master would say such words.

"Mother, do you know something?" The one who spoke was second brother Shen Jiazhen. His face was cold and his eyes sharp, as if he had seen through everything.

At this time, the old lady had already returned to her room, leaving only Xu and the three young masters of the Shen Palace behind.

Hearing the second brother's question, Shen Jiaxuan and Shen Jia Yao both turned to look at Xu. Actually, Shen Jiaxuan had the same suspicions.

"What can I know? Do what you guys should do? That's an imperial edict, can I change the emperor's mind?" Xu's words seemed to make a lot of sense.

However, Shen Jiaxuan and the others knew that the more Xu was like this, the more it meant that there was a problem.

"Mother, please tell us the truth. Father is really angry this time. Tell us and we will think of a solution together. We can't let this get out of hand." As the eldest son, Shen Jiaxuan took the lead to persuade his mother.

When he thought about the look in Shen Weiyuan's eyes when he looked at her, Xu was actually still a little apprehensive. His eldest son had always been a pillar of existence.

"Mother, even if you didn't say anything, we would have already known sooner or later. At that time, we wouldn't even know what step father would take." Seeing that the Xu was shaken, Shen Jiaxuan added fuel to the fire.

"I say, I say, is that not okay?" At that time, I was only thinking that her fate was too tough, and that she might be able to suppress a calamity, so I went to give it a try. Who knew that the empress dowager would take her and Duke Xian's birthday and put them together, and it would actually be a perfect match. She said that the third miss had been born rich all her life, with a lot of rich people living under a lot of shelter.

"So the so-called Flower Lover Banquet is only an excuse for the empress dowager to see Xiao Qi!" Shen Jiazhen spoke with a cold face, but the words he spoke were in an affirmative tone.

Xu nodded, "At that time, I did not know, it was only after Shen Fei sent a messenger back that I found out."

"Then in that letter, do I let you try your best to deal with it, and let Xiao Qi willingly marry Prince Duan?" Shen Jiazhen's tone of voice did not sound angry or happy, but everyone knew that he was angry at the moment.

"This is for her own good as well. After all, she's still married into the imperial family. If she looks like she's in mourning, then someone else will say something. If they offend the empress dowager, then it'll be terrible." Xu hurriedly explained.

"How have you treated her these past ten years? Have you seen Xiao Qi's miserable appearance?" Shen Jiazhen could not help but ask, "Back then, before that Taoist calculated the fate of Xiao Qi, he had met the Shen Fei once. She was only 11 years old and she had such a scheming mind. After saying that, he couldn't help but mock her.

"What are you talking about?" The Xu shouted, "Are you talking nonsense?" Xu's face was filled with panic, as he looked at his second son's face that was still expressionless.

Shen Jiaxuan and Shen Jia Yao were also extremely surprised. They never thought that there would be such a secret behind it, just thinking about it sent chills down their spines.

Other than me, my father and grandmother don't know about this. I originally wanted to tell you, but you have already convicted Xiao Qi, and even if you knew the truth, you still wouldn't let Xiao Qi destroy your most beloved eldest daughter. " It was the first time Shen Jiazhen had said so much at once, and he managed to get such a secret.

"Big Sis, why are you doing this? Third Sister, you didn't stop her from anything? " Shen Jia Yao knitted his brows and asked. He didn't quite understand what was going on.

"When Shen Fei was ten years old, her name spread throughout the capital. Father and Mother were very proud of her and spent great efforts to nurture her. However, at that time, when his mother was pregnant and broke this rule and shifted all of her attention to this unborn child, the Shen Fei was unbalanced. "

"You guys should know that Shen Fei was the strongest when she was at home. If everything is the best, then no one can surpass her. Otherwise, she will do everything she can to make it difficult for you."

"When Xiao Qi was born, she took a piss. Grandmother was afraid that something bad might happen, so she invited a Taoist to give Xiao Qi a blessing. Later on, she said that Xiao Qi's mother died before she was three years old, so naturally her mother was far away from her nemesis."

"I'm not talking about this matter that Shen Fei planned for me. I believe that she came here on the spur of the moment, but I didn't expect that Mother Yue Zi would really have a problem, so Shen Fei felt that it wasn't his fault. Xiao Qi's fate was like this.

"Mother manages the large and small affairs of the manor, this matter can't be hidden from you, but what I didn't expect is that you still believed that Xiao Qi Ke would die even though you clearly knew the plans of the Shen Fei. This way, you wouldn't care about Xiao Qi for more than ten years."

"Now you want Xiao Qi to marry Wang Chong Xi, why did you do it this time? Let me guess, you probably want to fight for the favor of the Emperor. " Shen Jiazhen said sarcastically in the end, as he was thoroughly disappointed in this sister.

"Do you understand your sister, how hard it is for her to eat people like that? "Third Miss can be considered to have not given birth to my sister for nothing." Xu said excitedly. Only after having two sons did she have a daughter who was carved from jade, a daughter who looked snowy, cute, and clever.

"At that time, who allowed her to enter the palace? Does our family still need such glory? It's all because of her vanity that she felt that no one but the Emperor was worthy of her. " There was only one Shen Jiahui in the Shang Shu Manor who was completely different from them. She had both scheming and methods, and was also ruthless.

Shen Jiaxuan didn't know what to say anymore, and he had never been able to get close to Shen Jiahui, his little sister. Although she had always been very obedient and sensible, and even took care of him from time to time, he still wasn't able to get close to her.

He had always felt that her concern for him contained too many other things, and it seemed less pure and sincere. However, he also didn't expect that she would treat her own little sister this way, an innocent baby that still didn't know anything.

Since he was very young, the Shen Fei had always been his concubine. He didn't know much about it, but his mother's attitude towards his third sister was the most important thing to him.

What he could not understand was that even though she had been innocent for so many years, her mother still did not like her. So there was actually such a problem. It was because his favorite daughter hated his third sister, and his mother also didn't like her.

This kind of logic was simply incomprehensible, but according to her mother's personality, it was also most likely. She must have wanted to ensure that Third Sister's guilt was fixed, then the eldest daughter she liked wouldn't have her reputation damaged one day. Sacrificing another for one daughter was also her mother's style.

What's more, something did happen to her at that time, so there was even more reason for her to ignore her third sister. Her little daughter, who should have been doted upon and grew up, had now become like this. Could Third Sister feel wronged?

"It's not like that, it's your sister. How can you say that about her? "My Jiahui is the most obedient and sensible one. What kind of bewitching soup did her nemesis give you to defend her?" Xu gnashed his teeth as he asked.

How could he come back when he was distracted? Shen Jiazhen and the other two also didn't know what to say, they shook their heads, and decided not to tell this paranoid mother anymore. In this situation, they should prepare a good dowry for Xiao Qi, since they already owed her so much, no matter what, they should make up for it this time.

Thus, without Shen Qi's knowledge, the four elder brothers began to collect all sorts of treasures for her to use as dowry, and every elder brother would take out their own private money to add on Shen Qi's makeup.
