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

Chapter 520 Shen Guiling's Plan

After leaving the peony garden, Shen Zhuang's face became gloomy.

"what happened?"

Zheng Song lowered his head and followed Shen Zhuang closely. "Master A Ling doesn't want to talk."

Shen Zhuang closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then quickened his pace again, "Where's Shen Zhi?"

Zheng Song: "When I found him, he was already dead."

Shen Zhuang paused slightly, his eyes froze for a moment, but then returned to normal.

The midday sun falls right above the Autumn Garden. The desolate lotus pond reflects the shimmering light. Decay and vitality coexist at this moment.

There were bodyguards everywhere inside and outside the courtyard. Shen Zhuang walked quickly across the corridor. Even though he had made sufficient mental preparation, the moment he opened the door, he was still blinded by the blood on the ground.

Shen Zhi was no longer breathing, his body stiffly lying in a pool of blood.

Shen Guiling was sitting quietly by the window. When he saw Shen Zhuang enter the room, he immediately stood up and said, "Grandpa."

Shen Zhuang didn't respond. He walked straight to Shen Zhi, squatted down, and looked carefully for a long time before speaking, "Did you kill him?"

Shen Guiling nodded, "Yes."

Shen Zhuang exhaled heavily, then stood up with the help of his crutches, his expression stern. "Kneel down."

Shen Guiling lowered his head and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Shen Zhuang raised his cane and gently tapped his shoulder. "A Ling, do you remember what I told you on the first day you entered Shen Garden?"

Shen Guiling, "The Shen family prohibits family infighting."

Shen Zhuang nodded, "Okay, as long as you remember it. Then tell Grandpa why you want to kill Shen Zhi?"

Shen Guiling raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhuang, "Because he colluded with outsiders and wanted to kill Shanshan."

A faint light flashed in Shen Zhuang's eyes, "How did you know?"

Shen Guiling, "Bai Mi said so."

Shen Zhuang turned sideways, looking at the figure in the bloody field with deep eyes. After a moment, he raised his hand to retract his crutch, turned around and sat down, "Tell me, what happened?"

Shen Guiling adjusted his kneeling position and faced Shen Zhuang. "When I was passing by Qiu Garden, I happened to run into Bai Mi who had sneaked in. After interrogating him, I found out that he had accidentally overheard Shen Zhi and others plotting to kill Shan Shan in Qiu Garden. Yao Zilei was also there at the time, but he was not as alert as Bai Mi. After being discovered by Shen Zhi, he was directly imprisoned in Qiu Garden."

Shen Zhi once told Shen Zhuang that Bai Mi had sneaked into Shen Garden, and later when the banquet started, Yao Zilei mysteriously disappeared. Shen Guiling's statement made sense.

Shen Zhuang just listened without saying a word.

"To prevent Bai Mi from lying, I came to Qiu Garden to investigate the situation. I happened to see Shen Zhi trying to kill Yao Zilei to silence him."

Shen Guiling paused, a hint of self-blame between his brows. "The situation was critical at the time. If anything happened to Yao Zilei, the Shen family would be implicated. I had to choose between the two. I had to kill Butler Shen."

After hearing this, Shen Zhuang was silent for a while. After a long while, he looked up at Zheng Song and asked, "What did Doctor Meng say?"

Zheng Song, "Doctor Meng said that Young Master Yao's left chest injury is extremely serious. Fortunately, his heart is located on the right side, unlike most people. Otherwise, even a Daluo Immortal wouldn't be able to save him."

Shen Zhuang, "The Yao family kid is awake? What did he say?"

"Young Master Yao said that Shen Zhi wanted to kill him to silence him, but it was Young Master A Ling who saved him. He also said that Shen Zhi planned to push him and Miss Jiang into the mud pond and bury them alive."

Shen Zhuang's face was as cold as water. "Go and call that kid from the Bai family over."

"Yes." Zheng Song turned and left the room.

The atmosphere in the room was eerily quiet. Even after hearing Shen Guiling's explanation, Shen Zhuang still had no intention of letting him get up.

Shen Guiling lowered his head and did not say a word to defend himself.

A few moments.

There was a loud roar outside the yard.

"You unruly and untouchable person, how dare you be so disrespectful to my Highness? Do you believe I will kill you?!"

Zheng Song turned a deaf ear to Bai Mi and threw him into the room by the neck. Just as Bai Mi was about to stand up, Zheng Song pulled out a silenced pistol from his pocket.

"..."

Bai Mi sneered, stood up and grabbed the gun, and suddenly a cold voice came to his ears.

"Zheng Song, put the gun away."

Bai Mi looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man sitting upright on a round stool. His face changed slightly, he restrained his arrogance, patted his knees and slowly stood up.

Two years ago, the old marshal of the Shen family visited the White Palace on behalf of Country A, so he naturally recognized him.

Bai Mi was about to say hello when he turned around and saw Shen Guiling kneeling on one side, with a male corpse lying not far away. He was not a real naive person, and he knew at a glance that the situation was a bit tricky. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

"Old man."

Shen Zhuang leaned on his crutches and looked up at the white-haired boy in front of him. "Is that the little flower you kidnapped?"

Bai Mi's heart trembled inexplicably. He didn't know why, but when the old man glanced at him indifferently, he seemed to feel the death gaze of a giant beast from the abyss.

"Grandpa, that was a misunderstanding. I...I, although I tied up Jiang Huashan, I...I didn't do anything."

If not, how could the Shen family allow the Bai family to speak while standing?

Shen Zhuang's face was gloomy, and he gently stroked the dragon ball with his thumb. "If it was a misunderstanding, why did you sneak into Shen Garden? Don't you Bai family members like to go through the main gate?"

If it were anyone else, Bai Mi would have flipped the table long ago, but Shen Zhuang was no ordinary man, so Bai Mi didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He said coldly, "Today's incident was my own idea. If you catch me, I'm incompetent. You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but don't bring this up with the Bai family."

"You're quite brave indeed." Shen Zhuang didn't take it seriously and continued questioning. "Tell me, what was your plan to sneak into Shen Garden after climbing over a mountain?"

Bai Mi, "I'm just strolling around."

Shen Zhuang waved his hand, and Zheng Song immediately stepped forward, kicked Bai Mi to the ground, pressed his shoulders with one hand, and groped around along the side of his clothes with the other hand.

Bai Mi's eyes flashed with ferocity, "You old bastard..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Song knocked Bai Mi to the ground with a punch, then stood up and handed him the white silk scarf, "Old man, this was found on him."

Bai Mi's face changed slightly, he stood up and rushed towards Shen Zhuang, "Give it back to me!"

The bodyguards behind him quickly stepped forward, subdued him and pressed him to the ground.

"Let him go." Without even raising his eyelids, Shen Zhuang used his crutch to lift the white handkerchief, glanced at it, and said calmly, "What is this?"

Bai Mi half-knelt on the ground, his expression cold and sullen, without responding.

Shen Zhuang did not force it, and turned to look at Shen Guiling beside him, "A Ling, do you know?"

Shen Guiling raised his eyes, and light and shadow fell from above his head, and his deep eye sockets were immediately covered with a thin layer of shadow.

"Yes……"

"It's my hair." Bai Mi suddenly retorted.

Shen Zhuang frowned, "What do you want to do by sneaking into Shen Garden with this thing?"

Bai Mi suddenly thought of something and raised his head. "I heard that your country A has the custom of tying the hair with black hair. I... I'm here to give you some hair."

Shen Guiling lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"...giving hair as a gift?" Even though Shen Zhuang had been through many battles, he had never expected this outcome. He was slightly dissatisfied and asked, "Who is it for?"

I definitely can’t say it’s Shen Guiling, otherwise it’ll be exposed.

"Ginger flower shirt."

Bai Mi showed a confident smile. This way, he could conceal his real purpose of kidnapping Jiang Huashan. Who could refuse a prince who was seriously pursuing him?

Shen Guiling raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zhuang. The old man waved his hand and said, "Zheng Song, drag him out and bury him."
