Chapter 205: Resisting the Impulse
Shen Jingxuan was a little worried about Shen Xinglin, but she still waited there and refused to leave.
Mr. Shen's eyes were red: "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he was about to run towards the door, but was stopped by Shen Jingxuan.
He angrily broke free from Shen Jingxuan's hand and saw that her eyes were staring into the distance and her almond-shaped eyes were gradually becoming moist.
Old Master Shen suddenly turned sideways and saw Shen Xinglin walking out with light and unsteady steps.
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes were slightly red. She resisted the urge to run over and stood there waiting.
Sensing what Mr. Shen and Madam Shen were thinking, Shen Jingxuan said in a deep voice: "No one is allowed to come forward, just wait here."
She knew that Shen Xinglin had his pride and certainly didn't want to be looked down upon by them.
Even if it was difficult, even if he had to crawl, he still wouldn't allow himself to be the one being carried out.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen saw what Shen Jingxuan was thinking and tried hard to suppress the bitterness in their hearts.
They held each other's hands tightly to prevent themselves from rushing forward.
Shen Xinglin looked at Shen Jingxuan with a pale face. He saw that she was staring at him intently and that she was waiting there from afar.
His tears instantly filled his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.
Shen Xinglin stared at Shen Jingxuan without blinking, trying hard to hold back his tears, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.
My sister believed in him, believed that he would achieve his wish and would stand by her side.
Just looking at Shen Jingxuan seemed to give him unlimited power.
He kept moving forward step by step, just to be by Shen Jingxuan's side.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Shen Xinglin who was getting closer and closer, as if a gust of wind would blow him away.
Mr. Shen took a step forward, but was stopped by Shen Jingxuan: "You are not allowed to go."
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's serious look, Mr. Shen finally withdrew his foot.
He had never seen Shen Jingxuan like this before.
But he knew that Shen Jingxuan was doing this for Shen Xinglin's own good and treated him sincerely.
Since Shen Jingxuan has her own ideas, he should not cause trouble for her.
The sun was high in the sky, and Shen Xinglin finally insisted on coming to Shen Jingxuan.
He looked at Shen Jingxuan, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "Sister, I'm back."
Before Shen Jingxuan could say anything, Shen Xinglin could no longer hold on and fainted in her arms.
Shen Jingxuan picked up Shen Xinglin with a swift movement: "Grandpa and grandma, let's go back home."
The two followed Shen Jingxuan closely.
They got on the carriage, which drove towards the sunlight and soon returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Shen Jingxuan personally carried Shen Xinglin and sent him to Qinxin Garden.
Hao heard the footsteps and came out.
When he saw Shen Jingxuan hugging Shen Xinglin, his eyes instantly became moist.
"Xuan'er, what happened to your brother?" Hao stepped forward in a panic.
At this moment, Hao only had Shen Jingxuan and Shen Xinglin in her eyes.
He didn't even notice Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen following behind Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Hao's moist eyes and comforted her, "Mother, my brother is fine, he's just a little tired."
After saying that, he continued walking towards Shen Xinglin's room.
Shen Jingxuan put Shen Xinglin on the bed: "Mother, give Lin'er some water and let him rest for a while."
Looking at Shen Xinglin's pale face, Shen Jingxuan felt sad.
If Daddy were still alive, their lives wouldn't be like this.
If daddy were still alive, Shen Xinglin wouldn't have to bear so much at such a young age.
We even have to make plans for the future of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but think of the Queen's words.
Thinking of what she had done, Shen Jingxuan clenched her hands tightly.
When Hao came in with the water, she saw Shen Jingxuan's eyes were cold and her lips were tightly pursed.
"Xuan'er, what happened?" Seeing Shen Jingxuan's displeasure, Hao asked.
On weekdays, Shen Jingxuan always came over with a smile on her face, and she didn't look like she had any worries.
Suddenly seeing Shen Jingxuan like this, Hao's heart tightened.
"If you have anything to say, tell your mother. Don't keep it to yourself."
Shen Jingxuan has been living in Yuxuan Courtyard. She also has to take care of Shen Xinglin, so it is inevitable that she pays less attention to her.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
Hao stayed in the inner house all day long, so no matter how big or small the events were, she could be reported to her.
If it was something else, there would be nothing wrong in chatting with her.
But since it concerns her father, it is not convenient to tell her in detail.
Rather than telling her something and making her sad, it’s better to just keep living like this.
At least now her heart and eyes are full of her son and daughter, and she doesn't feel that life is difficult.
Shen Jingxuan said hello to Mrs. Hao and walked out of the room.
In the yard, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen did not leave.
After seeing Shen Jingxuan, he asked anxiously: "How is Lin'er?"
Just now, Shen Xinglin fell in front of them and almost frightened them to death.
If Shen Jingxuan hadn't been there, they really wouldn't know what to do.
"Grandpa and grandma, Lin'er is fine, you should go back and rest."
They are already old, and their bodies will not be able to bear it if they live in fear for half a day.
Hearing Shen Jingxuan say that everything was fine, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen felt relieved and obediently returned to Fufeng Courtyard.
Watching them go away, Shen Jingxuan returned to Yuxuan Courtyard.
"Chun Tao, go find the Third Elder and ask him to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Yes." Chuntao responded and walked out of the yard.
Shen Jingxuan stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, and gradually fell into deep thought.
Thinking of Shen Xinglin's appearance just now, Shen Jingxuan became more determined in her thoughts.
The queen often lives in the deep palace and rarely goes out. It is almost impossible to arrange someone to be around her.
But the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are different.
Let’s not talk about the Prince’s Mansion for now, Guizhi is there after all.
For some things, Guizhi would give her the news in time even if she didn't ask for it.
As for the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's time to keep a closer eye on it.
After all, that is the queen's mother's home.
If the Queen makes any move, only the Prime Minister's Office can help her.
And this is also the reason why Shen Jingxuan asked the third elder to keep an eye on them.
Only if she holds a powerful handle in her hand, will she be able to deal a powerful blow to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Queen.
Shen Jingxuan is not in a hurry, she will prepare slowly.
As soon as she gets everything ready, the good days of the Queen and the Prime Minister's Mansion will be over.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly remembered that the Anguo Marquisate was also involved, and her eyes turned bloodshot.
Since it is impossible to avenge his father immediately, nor to find out the faults of the Queen and the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, the Anguo Marquis Mansion will have to fend for itself.
Shen Jingxuan was immersed in her own thoughts, unable to extricate herself, but at this moment the door was opened.
Ling Huan quickly came to Shen Jingxuan's side, and regardless of Shen Jingxuan's surprised expression, he pulled her out.
