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

Chapter 644 Seeds of Hatred

"Master, please listen to my explanation, Master..."

The wind was cold and bleak. Gao Zhi knelt on the ground and banged on the glass door desperately.

"Master, Master, you can't be so cruel. I've been with you for decades. Even if I haven't done anything for you, I've worked hard. Can't you forgive me for such a small mistake?"

He howled heart-wrenchingly, and the originally transparent glass door was instantly covered with a thick layer of fog.

Shen Lanxi returned to the Orchid Garden and took a shower first. He stood in the center of the sparks, the thick smell of gunpowder on his body constantly reminding him how stupid his behavior just now was!

The bath lasted for a full hour, and when Shen Lanxi came out, her whole body was covered in steam.

Gao Zhi lay on the ground and rested for half an hour. When he saw Shen Lanxi push the door and enter the study, he immediately gathered himself and continued to cry while banging on the doors and windows, "Master! Master!!!"

Shen Lanxi turned a deaf ear to the words, sitting upright in the heavy rosewood armchair. The warm orange light cast shadows of varying depths on his sharply defined profile. He stared fixedly at a point in the void ahead, his gaze unfocused yet as dark as indissoluble ink.

Heartbreaking. The real heartbreak is not the loud noise, but the silent helplessness.

Gao Zhi's wailing stopped abruptly, and he knelt down resignedly. "Master, I am willing to fine myself another six months' salary. Please don't be angry."

This should be fine, after all, you just lost a little bit of face, but what I lost is real money.

Seeing that Shen Lanxi was still unmoved, he looked around, swallowed his throat and whispered, "Master, no one saw it. As long as you don't mention it and I don't mention it, let's just treat it as a fart and let it go, okay? Okay?"

Shen Lanxi finally responded. She placed one hand on the armrest, and her fingertips unconsciously tapped the smooth wood, again and again, with a suppressed, suffocating rhythm.

"Gao Zhi..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Zhi felt a chill, no! It was murderous intent!

It's over! He can't even act cute anymore, he's probably going to be exiled to the frontier.

"Master Lan Xi!"

At this moment, an uninvited guest came to the garden. Zheng Song walked hurriedly into the orchid garden. When he passed by the pond, he saw Gao Zhi kneeling in front of the glass door. He was stunned.

Before he could react, Gao Zhi stood up and twisted his knees pretentiously, "My legs are a little itchy, a little itchy."

As he said that, he pushed open the study door with a cold face and said, "Come in."

Shen Lanxi temporarily subsided her overwhelming pressure and looked up at Zheng Song. "What's wrong?"

Zheng Song lowered his head, maintaining the proper respect, and said in a deep voice, "Master, Master Ajie is in trouble."

Shen Lanxi raised her fingertips slightly, paused for a moment, and said calmly, "Something happened? What happened? Wasn't he fine this afternoon?"

Zheng Song, "Suddenly fell ill in the evening, wounds became infected... and he died."

Shen Lanxi frowned, "Dead?"

"Yes. Doctor Meng found it half an hour ago when he went to change the dressing. He's been dead for... three hours."

Shen Lanxi's expression was indifferent. "What did Grandpa say?"

Zheng Song, "Just now, while we were patrolling the courtyard, we spotted a suspicious figure. That person is very skilled and very familiar with Shen Garden. We surrounded him several times but were unable to catch him. The old man suspects that someone has done something wrong."

"Is there such a thing?" Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and asked again, "How is Grandpa?"

"The old man is going to personally take care of Master Ajie's funeral. He said that Master Ajie died suddenly, and Mr. Fourth will definitely bring people to his house to ask for an explanation, and he doesn't want to see them."

"I understand." Shen Lanxi said calmly, "Tell grandpa, I will take care of it."

"Yes, I've delivered the message. I'll go back first." Zheng Song nodded, turned and left the study.

After everyone left, Gao Zhi lay by the door and looked out for a long time, then tiptoed into the house carefully.

"Master, why is Master Jie so hated? You've already sent the two young ladies back, so why are there still people coming to attack you at night?"

Shen Lanxi glanced at him and closed her eyes. "You didn't reveal your true intentions when you attacked, did you?"

Gao Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode forward, "Don't worry, Master. The potion I added is colorless and odorless. Even the old man can't detect it."

It’s not that they really can’t find out, but no one in the entire Shen Garden would suspect Shen Lanxi. If they didn’t suspect her, they wouldn’t start from Lan Garden.

Shen Lanxi was not sure what she was thinking. After a moment of silence, she looked up at him and said, "Find out who went to Xia Garden tonight?"

No need to be exiled to the frontier!

Gao Zhi was eager to avenge his previous humiliation, and he nodded hurriedly in response, "Don't worry, Master. I will dig three feet underground to find this person."

"and many more."

He was about to turn around when Shen Lanxi called him again.

"Check again, what did Shen Guiling do tonight?"

The next day, a strong cold front passed through and the temperature in Whale Harbor dropped ten degrees overnight.

Winter has truly arrived.

Shen Che had heard on the phone before that Shen Yiji was out of danger, but when he arrived at Shen Garden, he only saw a cold corpse. He instantly lost his mind and ignored everyone's dissuasion to go to Qin Garden to find Shen Zhuang to ask for an explanation.

"Sins should not be passed on to descendants. Isn't this the Shen family rule? You said that Shen family members cannot kill each other?! Why kill Ajie?! Why?!"

Shen Rang wanted to prevent Shen Che from angering Shen Zhuang, so he kept mediating, "Fourth Brother, calm down."

"How can I stay calm? That's my son! You killed my son!"

"Fourth uncle."

Shen Lanxi led the Shen family outside the Qin Garden gate and said, "We will give you an explanation for Ajie's matter. He colluded with outsiders to murder his loved ones and also tried to sow discord between the Shen and Bai families. He deserved this fate."

This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Shen Che's temper flared up, "You are slandering me! I want to see the old man! I want to see the old man!"

Shen Lanxi, "Grandpa has been guarding Ajie for a whole day. He is exhausted and has no energy to see you."

"Nonsense, you murderers! Murderers!!!"

"What family rules? They're all bullshit! Bah! What a noble family with a thousand-year-old threshold, it's nothing but a hollow shell rotten to the core! Give me back my son! Give me back my son!!"

Shen Lanxi's brows were gloomy, like an emotionless sculpture, "Throw him out."

Shen Rang didn't expect Shen Lanxi to be so decisive. He couldn't bear it. "Lanxi, please leave. Don't hurt the reputation of the Shen family."

Shen Lanxi, "He's no longer a member of the Shen family. Letting him in to see Ajie one last time was the last bit of kindness the Shen family had left. But he still dared to speak so outrageously and insult the Shen family. Such a person must not be tolerated."

As he said that, he turned to look at Shen Che, "The Shen family will handle Ajie's funeral. Do you want to continue making trouble or stay and see your son off? It's your choice."

"..."

Shen Che clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't let go of the ties in his heart. He had never hated himself so much as he did at that moment. If he wasn't so incompetent, he wouldn't have lost both children.

Finally, Shen Che lowered his head and swallowed his anger with gritted teeth.
