After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 261 Partiality

He was wearing a sky-blue gown and lowered his head as if looking for something.

Shen Ling also saw the two bright red petals of the crabapple tree in her father's hair.

She thought about the few clues they had found, then lowered her head and saw a smear of red mud on the black upper of her father's shoes.

All the clues were correct, and Shen Ling couldn't think of a second person who met the requirements better than his father.

At this moment, she stood there, her whole body cold.

If the father is that man, then who is the son?

Shen Ling was still thinking about the conversation between Shen Changfeng and Niuniu: "What if it's an illegitimate child? What if it's someone from our house?"

Now they all match up.

As for who the illegitimate child was, Shen Ling immediately thought of one person: Shen Changjun.

It is said that this orphan is from the Shen family and both his parents have passed away. His father said that he took him to be raised by his side out of pity for him, but his father has always valued Shen Changjun much more than Shen Changfeng.

Shen Ling felt that her life was like a huge lie. She felt sorry for her brother. She was just ignored by her father, while her brother had to endure torture and oppression from her father for so many years.

As for her mother, although she also kept several young lovers, she never thought of killing her father! Her mother fed her father well and took great pains to support the Shen family. How dare her father have an illegitimate child and plot to kill her mother behind her back!
"What are you doing here?" Shen Fushan asked Shen Ling with a sullen face.

Shen Ling said casually: "My brother and I..."

But before she could finish her words, she turned around and there was no one behind her. She didn't know where Shen Changfeng and Niu Niu had gone.

Shen Ling immediately changed her tone and said, "I came to see my brother to discuss something with him."

Shen Fushan didn't think much when he heard this, but said: "Your brother is uneducated and unskilled, don't stay with him if you have nothing to do, or you will learn bad things from him!"

Shen Ling lowered her eyebrows, and even though her heart was in a mess, she still asked calmly: "Father, are you looking for something? Do you need your daughter's help?"

Shen Fushan's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, and he said, "I didn't find anything, I just happened to come here. You should go back too. There are many young female guests in my house today, and I need you to accompany them."

Shen Ling nodded and said, "Father, go back too. Mother just sent someone to look for you."

Shen Fushan wanted to continue looking for the purse, but Shen Ling had even moved the princess out, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer.

The father and daughter walked together for a few steps before they separated at a fork in the road.

Shen Ling stood there and waited quietly for a moment. The bushes beside him moved, and Shen Changfeng came out pulling Niu Niu.

"It was a close call, I almost got scolded by him again!" As Shen Changfeng spoke, he reached out to pick the leaves off his head, and then carefully tidied Niu Niu's hair.

If it were usual, Shen Changfeng would not necessarily hide from his father, but he was with Niu Niu, and he also had to save face. He couldn't let himself be scolded by his father in front of Niu Niu.

Shen Ling forced a smile on his face and asked, "Brother, don't you have anything else to say?"

Shen Changfeng's eyes flashed with guilt, and then he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I was bragging, my father was scolding me, not nagging me! He would scold me every time he saw me, and he would pick a fight even when there was nothing to do!"

Shen Ling: ...

Shen Ling thought that her brother was simple-minded and only knew that their father was a fault-finding one, but she never expected that their father was so vicious as to want to kill his wife.

"Brother, father is wearing a sky-blue gown today." Shen Ling reminded him. Shen Changfeng still didn't think much about it and said, "Isn't he always like this? He likes sky-blue the most and always says it's elegant. He also likes bamboo and thinks that anyone who doesn't like bamboo is vulgar. He is the only one who looks the most elegant and everyone else is vulgar! I'm different. I want to dress gorgeously and beautifully!"

Shen Changfeng had no idea that when he said these words, his father, who was like a mountain in his heart, had become a villain.

Shen Ling saw that Niu Niu's expression suddenly became strange.

"My dear, you've seen it all, right?" Shen Ling asked.

Niuniu nodded hesitantly and said, "But the prince consort... he is the husband of the princess' aunt... could the person he wants to kill be..."

Niu Niu couldn't continue speaking.

The little girl was only six years old and had never experienced such a vicious thing. In her impression, the most vicious former adoptive father, Zhang Guangzong, only allowed his adopted daughter to die and did not kill her directly.

Shen Changfeng felt like he was struck by lightning.

"What are you talking about? Murder? Father wants to kill mother? How is this possible? Even though we are both wearing azure, even though..."

Shen Changfeng suddenly couldn't continue.

No matter how dumb he was, he knew something was wrong once it was pointed out to him.

"That illegitimate child is... is..." Shen Changfeng spoke incoherently.

Shen Ling directly exposed: "It should be Shen Changjun. He always likes to compare himself with his brother. He dares to ask his father for things that his brother has. How can an orphan in the family have such confidence?"

Shen Changfeng didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, he asked, "So it's not that I'm not doing my best, but that my father favors his illegitimate son?"

Shen Ling felt as if her brother was about to fall apart.

Niuniu grabbed Shen Changfeng's hand and said, "Brother Changfeng, this is it. That's why your father doesn't like you. It's not your fault, it's his fault! He is not a good person! Not only did he betray the princess aunt, he also bullied you. He is bad!"

The little girl was so angry that she was about to jump up and hit someone.

Shen Ling also said: "Yes, brother, it was never your fault, it was because of father's mental illness!"

Shen Changfeng let out a long breath and glanced at his sister and Niuniu. He even went so far as to comfort others: "I'm fine, don't worry about me. Doesn't my dear want to see the small garden? Let's go now, let's go now..."

Shen Changfeng pulled his sister and Niuniu to continue taking a shortcut, but he looked distracted and almost bumped into the wall.

The worry in Shen Ling's eyes was almost overflowing.

Shen Changfeng said casually: "I'm fine... Sister, why don't you go see mother? Will he attack her now? Come on, let's go see mother together!"

Shen Changfeng's incoherent speech made Shen Ling even more worried.

"Don't worry, brother. With so many people here today, father wouldn't dare to do anything to mother in public," Shen Ling said.

Shen Changfeng looked dazed: "Yes, yes, you are right, there are many people today..."

Seeing that they had already entered the small garden, Shen Ling said, "Brother, you accompany Niuniu to visit the garden. I will go find mother."

Shen Changfeng nodded casually.

Shen Ling pulled Niuniu over again and whispered, "My dear, you are a good and sensible child. Can you help your sister and look after your brother?"
