Chapter 390: Chapter 390 Embarrassment_1

"Are Aunt Guihua and Uncle Shen going back to Kyoto with you?"

"Hmm." Shen Miaomiao nodded, as if recalling something, her expression became somewhat absent-minded.

"Ms. Li ran away, and Shen Zhong..." Shen Miaomiao paused, not really wanting to mention that person.

"My parents also want to move somewhere else."

"That’s not a bad idea." Nanzhi nodded, without asking further.

However, Shen Wenchen and Shi’er exchanged a glance surreptitiously, and then turned away as if nothing had happened.

Shen Miaomiao seemed a bit dejected, not noticing anything unusual, but Nanzhi managed to notice their evasive gazes.

After Shi’er left with Shen Miaomiao, Nanzhi looked at Shen Wenchen with a serious face.

"What’s really going on?"

Shen Wenchen’s smile froze for a moment, awkwardly scratching his neck.

"Nannan, what are you talking about, I don’t understand at all..."

Shen Wenchen laughed, trying to dodge the issue.

Nanzhi was gazing at him intently, however.

"Come clean and tell me what you’re hiding."

Nanzhi was getting quite assertive, and Shen Wenchen knew that if he didn’t tell her now, she would get angry, so he had to confess everything.

"You mean, Shi’er... got rid of Shen Zhong..." Nanzhi’s face was full of shock.

She had only ever seen such a plot in novels, and although she was now living in a world of a novel, this turn of events seemed far too outrageous.

"Hmm." Shen Wenchen appeared helpless, fearing that Nanzhi might form a bad impression of him because of this.

"This... must certainly not be told to Miaomiao." Nanzhi shook her head, muttering quietly.

People here value blood relations, even if their relatives are extremely despicable, they still endure the victimization.

If it were herself, she might still feel vindicated.

After all, Shen Zhong had forced his wife into prostitution and tried to sell his sister for personal gain.

His fate was well-deserved.

But the worry was that if Aunt Guihua and Uncle Shen found out, they might refuse to acknowledge their relationship.

After all, this was about the murder of their son...

"That’s why I didn’t tell you at first." Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Shen Wenchen finally relaxed.

"No, anything important has to be discussed with me. We are husband and wife, a single entity. I trust you."

Nanzhi snorted coldly, reaching out to poke his soft spot on his waist.

She’d discovered that Shen Wenchen was not afraid of anything else, except for someone poking that soft spot on his waist.

"Madam, I know I was wrong." Shen Wenchen dodged her finger repeatedly, but the smile on his face never faded.

"Humph, now you know how fierce I am, right?"

The two frolicked and joked for a while before they started discussing serious matters.

Chi Sheng would surely bring the people from the mountain to relocate to Yan City, but where to settle them would be a major issue.

"Are you sure nothing will go wrong?" Nanzhi was somewhat concerned.

A young general, with a sudden influx of sturdy men under his control, regardless of how he explained it, someone would undoubtedly use it against him.

"Don’t worry." Shen Wenchen patted her shoulders reassuringly.

"I’ve already sent the blueprints of the biogas pit back to Kyoto. By the time Chi Sheng and his group arrive, the authorities should have received the news."

"And I have a feeling that there might be trouble." Shen Wenchen looked at the distant sky, his brows furrowed deeply into a frown.

It was a strange feeling, particularly when that old man asked Nannan that question.

"Could it be?" Nanzhi followed his gaze, only to see the clouds in the sky being blown away by the wind, revealing a clear blue sky.

Since she came back, she hadn’t had any more visionary dreams.

"I can’t say for sure." Shen Wenchen shook his head, before continuing to speak as if he had just remembered something.

"There are two deserted villages outside the city. If they come here, they can settle there. But as for the issue of household registration, it would have to be reported to the higher authorities."

There were simply too many people. Even if he was the city lord, he couldn’t make the decision directly.

Shen Yuntian was sitting in Jihe Hall with Wang Jingzhi.

"Brother Yuntian, what’s happened to you?" Wang Jingzhi noticed that Shen Yuntian looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and couldn’t help feeling surprised.

From the looks of it, Brother Yuntian seemed weak...

"Jingzhi, how are things with you and Miss Zeng?" Shen Yuntian hadn’t slept well for several days, and on these two days, he found it even harder to rest for a bit.

Every time he closed his eyes, he would see Hexiu, with tears in her eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he decided to come here and look for Wang Jingzhi.

After all, he was troubled about Hexiu, and Wang Jingzhi was troubled about Miss Zeng.

No matter how you looked at it, they were in the same boat.

"I, I’m fine." On hearing him mention Miss Zeng, Wang Jingzhi’s ears quickly turned red.

He had already visited the Zeng Family yesterday.

Mr. Zeng only had one request of him, to be nice to Xixi.

Miss Zeng’s mother was even more satisfied with him.

The whole of yesterday went very well.

He had intended to inform Uncle and Aunt Lin, and Brother Yuntian, but there were too many patients today, and he forgot when he got busy...

Now that he was being questioned directly, he felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ah, now I have a big headache. You tell me, how could such a nice girl like Hexiu like me?" Shen Yuntian said with a distressed face.

He couldn’t understand why a nice girl like Hexiu, who looked pretty and had a kind heart, was a diligent and able person, would be interested in him. Now he had lost his parents, his brother and sister-in-law were missing, and even his face was disfigured. He sincerely felt that he was not worthy of Hexiu.

"That just goes to show that you, Brother Yuntian, have your charms." Wang Jingzhi said perfunctorily.

He was still curious about why Xixi was interested in him.

Initially, when he made up his mind, he had thought that if she came to abhor him after finding out, the problem would conveniently be resolved.

However, Xixi only asked him with tear-filled eyes whether he was in pain.

At that moment, he felt that he should treat this wonderful girl well, even if it meant risking his life.

"Jingzhi, your words seem a bit weird." Shen Yuntian looked at Wang Jingzhi, whose face was full of discomfort, and was suspicious.

"Are you hiding something from us?"

"What could I be..." Before he could finish his words, Miss Zeng came into Jihe Hall, looking extremely happy.

"Jingzhi, my father asked you to have dinner at our house tonight." The young girl’s face was as lovely as a peach blossom, and she had completely recovered from her illness a month ago.

"Okay."

Wang Jingzhi had just nodded with a smile when he caught the surprised look in Shen Yuntian’s eyes.

"Brother Yuntian, I think Miss Hexiu is very nice. It’s clear that you have her in your heart, so you haven’t rested well these past few days.

Younger brother advises you, cherish the person before you, so you won’t regret it later."

Wang Jingzhi shook his head, saying what he truly felt.

Miss Zeng, however, seemed a little unhappy.

In her opinion, Hexiu was her maid since childhood. Whether she was good or bad, she was very clear about it.

Last time, Hexiu deliberately went to her parents to redeem her freedom, but this stupid Shen was not adhering to his original words.

When she saw Hexiu crying so miserably, she also felt very sad in her heart.
