Chapter 1420 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
So many things happened suddenly, but they actually had nothing to do with Xu Shan and Azhen.
However, Xu Shan did not leave immediately. After talking with Azhen, he decided to stay at Peach Blossom Manor for the time being.
Half a day had passed since the incident, and Xu Shan still couldn't believe it; everything that had happened was truly unbelievable.
After Shen Yue realized what was happening, she gathered the servants of Peach Blossom Manor and told them that those who listened to her could stay in Peach Blossom Manor, while those who didn't could leave today.
A-Zhu didn't pay attention to the specifics.
Anyway, Peach Blossom Manor still had servants, and they were treated well. Shen Yue even sent someone down the mountain to fetch people to help fill in the soil inside the manor. As for herself, she ate something along the way and spent the rest of the time setting up an illusion array.
As darkness fell, Shen Yue finally entered the villa.
Seeing that everyone was still waiting, she said, "This is how the resort is now. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Everyone sighed with regret. Shen Yue seemed to have grown up instantly, becoming so mature that it was heartbreaking.
“From now on, I will be in charge of Peach Blossom Manor.” Shen Yue added, “Aunt, is there anything you want to say? After all, you also grew up in Peach Blossom Manor; it’s still your maternal home.”
After half a day of thinking, Shen Yue concluded that her aunt was probably just like her, unaware of the situation.
Shen Miao shook her head with a wry smile: "You can arrange it as you see fit."
Shen Yue took a deep breath and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like he really won't be back anytime soon," Shen Yue said. Although she didn't say his name, everyone knew it was Shen Linsu.
Suddenly, she remembered Yi Xiaolan, who had fallen into a coma, and was about to ask her a question when she heard Yi Xiaolan's voice coming from outside the hall.
"Has Shen Lang returned?"
Everyone looked up and saw Yi Xiaolan looking haggard, being supported by the servants of the manor, with Chu Yanzhi anxiously following beside her.
There was still expectation in her eyes, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream.
However, Shen Yue's cold words shattered her illusions: "Aunt Lan, are you alright?"
He didn't come back.
“From today onwards, I will take control of the entire manor. Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, even if he wants to come back, I will not let him in.”
“Aunt Lan, you don’t need to worry. Those things have nothing to do with you. Just stay here and rest.” Shen Yue lowered her eyes slightly. “I just hope you won’t make things difficult for me. If you feel that the villa is not conducive to your health, I can arrange another place for you.”
Shen Yue's words were very clear, and everyone could understand them, but they were also very cold.
Yi Xiaolan's face turned even uglier, and she finally had to believe that what had happened before was not a dream, but a fact.
“Yue’er, your master’s wife is pregnant and shouldn’t be upset. Can you please not speak so coldly? Besides, the matter of Uncle Shen is still not fully understood. What if there is a misunderstanding?” Chu Yanzhi said. He was paying special attention to Yi Xiaolan’s condition. He had seen her stagger earlier and was very worried. He thought Shen Yue shouldn’t have said such harsh words.
Shen Yue glanced at Chu Yanzhi and said, "If you have any complaints or feel uncomfortable here, you can go somewhere else. I'm not forcing anyone to leave. As I've said before, as long as you abide by the rules of Peach Blossom Manor, things will remain the same as before."
Chu Yanzhi's face turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected Shen Yue to completely disregard his dignity.
"Yue'er, don't you think you've been blinded by hatred?" Shen Yue remained unprovoked, her tone even colder than before: "Am I the one who's been blinded, or are you blind to the truth, unwilling to believe what happened today, and trying to make excuses for that person, deceiving yourself?"
[Wow, well said.] 997 couldn't help but clap. [I wonder if it's because the host suppressed Chu Yanzhi's arrogance before, causing him to avoid you now. Otherwise, if he confronted you, he would definitely be scolded, maybe even beaten, or at the very least, the host would use pressure point techniques on him, leaving him to stand guard in the cold night.]
A-Zhuang was speechless at the schadenfreude of those who worked 997.
"Aunt Lan, are you planning to stay at Peach Blossom Manor to recuperate, or would you like to find a quieter place? I'll make the arrangements." Shen Yue said to Yi Xiaolan, her tone gentler than before. Her disregard for Chu Yanzhi made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"I think I'll stay here." Yi Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before making this decision. In her opinion, Shen Linsu might come back someday, and she wanted to ask him in person whether he had done those things.
She gently stroked her belly, a bitter smile appearing on her lips, a sense of sorrow welling up inside her, along with a regret she was unwilling to admit.
If... if she hadn't had a falling out with Xu Shan, would everything have been alright?
After all, once the Heavenly Blade was stolen by the people of the Star Moon Palace, the mysterious organization had no reason to cause trouble for Xu Shan.
And so, Peach Blossom Manor seemed to quiet down.
Late at night, just as Azhen was about to lie down, there was a knock on the door. When she opened it, she was surprised to find Shen Yue standing outside.
"Sister Zhen'er, I'm sorry to bother you. May I stay here tonight? I'd like to have a chat with you."
Azhen didn't particularly need sleep, so we let her in.
Perhaps she underestimated Shen Yue's dependence on her.
[Actually, this girl is quite pitiful. Chu Yanzhi, whom she likes, is clearly infatuated, and Yi Xiaolan is unreliable, still hoping for Shen Linsu's return. Shen Miao has already married into the Yan family, so her focus is clearly not here anymore. Shen Linsu is her own brother; even if she finds those things hard to believe, given her personality, she wouldn't actually harm her own brother.] 997 said.
In the martial arts world, there are many righteous people who hate evil and cannot tolerate any filth. They like to draw their swords to help those in need.
However, there are also many who, when things happen, still lean towards their own blood relatives. Right and wrong are not even that important; as long as one is powerful, no one can do anything about it, at most they can only offer a few words of condemnation.
After lying down, Shen Yue's voice came to her ear: "Sister Zhen'er, do you think what I did was right?"
A-Zhou opened her eyes: "So far, I don't feel anything is wrong."
It's fair to say that Shen Yue handled the situation very rationally, unlike a girl who's only a little over ten years old. Of course, children from the martial arts world are indeed more mature.
"That's good."
"I've already hired people to inquire about the Zhang family. So many years have passed, I don't know if we can find out anything."
"He's not coming back now, so I can't ask him. If he does come back, I don't know if he'll say anything if I ask him."
"If you really have something to do with Master Shen, what do you plan to do?" Azhen asked.
Shen Yue was killed before she could verify those things.
Actually, Azhen was also curious about what Shen Yue would do once it was confirmed that the matter was related to Shen Linsu.
"If he was the one who wiped out the Zhang family, and if he was involved in my mother's death, I would never let him go, even if it was just one of those things!" Shen Yue said. "Even if I am his daughter, if the above is true, then my existence is nothing but a deception." (End of Chapter)
