Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 188 Questioning
Shen Yingjun was stunned for a second before reacting, his tone anxious and shocked.

"Jiang Yun, you dare to run away after doing such a thing? I will punish her severely when she comes back."

Shen Yingjun clenched his fists and spoke indignantly.

interesting.

It’s really interesting!

Shen Fuyu curled the corners of his lips calmly. In Shen Fuyu's opinion, Shen Yingjun was just trying to cover up his mistake.

The good guy in the legend is not a good guy.

On the contrary, it is extremely hypocritical.

Shen Fuyu sneered and followed the crowd slowly.

The Shen sisters came to Shen Fuyu while no one was paying attention, and Shen Mengwu spoke quietly.

"Shen Fuyu, I always feel that my second uncle is acting strangely, a little different from before. Do you think that my second uncle has also been bewitched by Jiang Yun? It's just that it's been too long for us to notice."

Shen Mengwu boldly guessed that in Shen Mengwu's impression, her second uncle was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. No matter if it was his wife, children, or mother, as long as there was any wrong behavior, her second uncle would point it out in time and would not choose to conceal it because of his identity.

Shen Yingjun had changed so much that not only Mrs. Shen was shocked, but even Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning found it unbelievable.

Shen Fuyu touched his chin and said, "That makes sense."

"However, how could Jiang Yun possibly have so many of these rare poisonous insects?"

Shen Fuyu was more inclined to believe that this was Shen Yingjun's nature.

Everyone can pretend.

Shen Mengwu frowned, "I hope Second Uncle was schemed by a bad woman, and don't change."

Shen Mengwu touched the whip given to her by the second master of the Shen family.

I really don’t want such a good second uncle to be a scum with a beastly heart.

Shen Fuyu didn't say anything, but just followed silently behind them, and soon everyone arrived at the dungeon.

A large number of guards who were in charge of guarding Jiang Yun collapsed.

There were no signs of fighting on the ground, as if he had fallen down for no reason.

Mrs. Shen sniffed subconsciously and did not smell any suspicious smell in the air.

"Wake up!"

Mrs. Shen half-knelt down and pushed the guards in an attempt to wake them up.

However, the guard did not react at all. If it were not for his regular breathing, Mrs. Shen would have suspected that the guard had died.

"What's happening here?"

"Dou Gao, go call a doctor."

Madam Shen frowned and signaled her maid to call the imperial physician over.

Fortunately, Madam Shen was unwell, and His Majesty specially allowed the imperial physician to accompany Madam Shen back to Qinchuan City to help the refugees outside the city take their pulses.

Only after confirming that the refugees do not have the virus in their bodies can the emperor arrange their destination.

"What a sin! What a sin!"

The head of the Shen family's fingers trembled, and he was a little afraid to accept this scene.

"Jiang family, I have been sending people to appease them. No one has noticed Jiang Yun's disappearance in a short period of time. So who rescued Jiang Yun?"

All kinds of speculations flashed through his mind, and the head of the Shen family denied them one by one. He couldn't understand who had such great ability to rescue people right under their noses.

Mrs. Shen subconsciously looked at Shen Yingjun.

Even though she knew she shouldn't doubt Shen Yingjun, Mrs. Shen still couldn't help but become suspicious.

Shen Yingjun is really suspicious.

Shen Fuyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Yingjun. No wonder Shen Jun had been delaying time. Perhaps it was because of this scene?

Before Shen Yingjun returned to the city, Jiang Yun had been staying in the dungeon obediently, but as soon as Shen Yingjun came back, Jiang Yun disappeared.

Shen Fuyu quietly came to Shen Mengning and whispered a few words in her ear. Shen Fuyu looked up at the blue favorability indicator above Shen Mengning's head.

Deep blue, like the sky, represents extreme trust.

Despite going through so many things, Mrs. Shen's favorability level has only reached green.

Shen Fuyu can be trusted with most things, but Shen Fuyu would rather tell Shen Mengning about this matter.

Of course, Shen Mengning is also the best candidate.

Shen Mengning nodded.

She walked step by step to Shen Yingjun, her beautiful eyes misty.

"Uncle, I can't understand why Auntie stayed in the dungeon until you came back, but she disappeared the moment you came back."

"Was Second Uncle stalling for time just now?"

Shen Mengning's voice was clear and crisp, with no concealment of her doubt.

Even though Mrs. Shen already had some guesses, she couldn't help but be shocked by Shen Mengning's bold words.

"Aning." Mrs. Shen called out, but did not blame her.

Shen Mengning smiled back.

Shen Mengwu opened her mouth slightly in shock, not understanding why her sister said that.

They had a tacit understanding for a long time, so even though Shen Mengwu was shocked, she would not ruin Shen Mengning's plan.

Shen Fuyu silently observed the changes in Shen Yingjun's expression.

Shen Yingjun reacted quickly, covering his chest. His thin body shook a few times, and he looked at Shen Mengning with a very sad look.

"A Ning, is this how you view your second uncle?" Shen Yingjun smiled bitterly. "My second uncle can understand. After all, Jiang Yun is his wife in name only."

His face was full of bitterness and sadness, but he was helpless.

The expressions are complex and the acting is sincere.

It was very consistent with the reaction of a framed person. Because it was too realistic, Shen Fuyu became even more distrustful of Shen Yingjun.

Shen Fuyu made a "tsk" sound.

The head of the Shen family stood by and said nothing.

"Uncle, I just have reasonable suspicion."

"The family has been waiting for Second Uncle to come back to discuss the outcome. If Second Uncle does this, it will not only hurt the clan leader, but also be unfair to Mother for all the hard work she put into finding a solution for the clan leader."

Shen Mengning analyzed calmly and looked at Shen Yingjun without a trace of emotion.

Shen Mengning doesn't have much affection for her nominal second uncle.

Although Shen Mengning has improved a lot recently, she had been in a state of dementia before and was very slow to express emotions. Except for Shen Mengwu and Mrs. Shen, few other people could enter Shen Mengning's heart.

"Chief, if you want to punish someone, punish me. It's because I didn't manage the backyard well that things turned out like this."

"If I had been more decisive and divorced Jiang Yun sooner, today's ceremony wouldn't have happened, and the clan leader wouldn't have been cursed."

Shen Yingjun knelt down decisively, as if letting the patriarch deal with him.

A good one is to retreat in order to advance.

"Since it has already happened, we should all discuss a solution together. I just raised reasonable suspicions, and that's how Second Uncle reacted."

"I just feel that my second uncle is guilty."

"No wonder Second Aunt has always been thinking about the position of head of the family."

Shen Mengning shook her head and sighed. Even though she didn't say it explicitly, Mrs. Shen and the head of the Shen family understood what Shen Mengning meant.

The reason why Jiang Yun was thinking about the position of the head of the family and took action for it must be because the second master of the Shen family revealed some information, which made Jiang Yun have an illusion.

A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the head of the Shen family. Could it be that he had been misjudging people all these years?
Is Shen Yingjun's lack of desire just an act?
The head of the Shen family couldn't figure it out, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Okay."

"Let's find Jiang Yun first, and we can talk about other things later."
