The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 514 Shen Ruzhou was punished to kneel

"I heard that your old lady is in ill health, and I came here to visit you." Beixiu Yan waved his hand, and Qin Ming immediately presented a box of gifts.

"This..." Shen Mu was a little embarrassed. How dare he ask for a gift from the Beixiu Banquet for no reason.

He glanced at Shen Chumu, who immediately understood and asked, "I wonder where the regent heard the news?"

"I heard what Miss Shen said yesterday." Bei Xiuyan replied lightly while drinking tea.

Shen Mu and Shen Chumu looked at each other, and at the same time they had a guess in their minds: Could it be that the person Shen Ruzhou was hiding in the room was the regent?

Shen Chumu's heart trembled, and he carefully probed, "Did you meet Ruzhou yesterday, Your Majesty?"

"The injury I sustained on the battlefield has not healed, so I would like to ask Miss Shen to go to the Regent's Mansion for medical treatment."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Mu and Shen Chumu breathed a sigh of relief, eliminating the incredible speculation in their minds.

Bei Xiuyan glanced at the expressions of the Shen family's father and son, and an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes, and continued: "When I came here, I saw the flowers in the garden blooming just right. I wanted to see them. I don't know if it's convenient. ."

Thinking of Shen Ruzhou being punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall, Shen Mu was afraid of exposing his family scandal and was looking for a reason to refuse. At this moment, the housekeeper came to report, "Master, the second master and Miss Rumeng are here."

Shen Mu waved his hand impatiently, "Don't you see any distinguished guests? Let them wait in the side hall."

Hearing this, Bei Xiuyan stood up and said, "General Shen is busy with me first, and I will just take a stroll on my own."

As he spoke, the man was already walking towards the garden.

Shen Mu was stunned for a moment, then got up and chased after him. As soon as he left the entrance of the main hall, the second master of the Shen family and Shen Rumeng came over and blocked Shen Mu at the door.

Bei Xiuyan was walking alone in the garden, and the two maids in the corridor were talking quietly.

"Young lady has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for two hours, and the master won't let you get up?"

"Yes, I have never seen Mr. Yuan so angry."

Kneel for two hours? Bei Xiuyan's pupils shrank and he felt distressed, and he hurriedly walked towards the ancestral hall.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, they heard someone talking inside. Beixiu Yan did not go in rashly, but stood sideways behind the doorpost and listened quietly.

In the ancestral hall, Shen Ruzhou could no longer kneel down. She put her hands on her legs and rubbed them gently.

Shen Rulan advised from the side with a worried look on her face, "Ruzhou, just admit your mistake to your father and don't force yourself."

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Shen Rulan continued: "Ruzhou, you have reconciled with His Highness the Crown Prince. If you really meet a man you like, you can tell your father, after three books and six etiquette, why should you hide it like this? Could it be that man? Already have a wife?"

"He didn't." Shen Ruzhou replied decisively.

"Then why can't you tell your father?" Shen Rulan was full of doubts. In fact, her family had been worrying about Shen Ruzhou's marriage and hoped that she would remarry her husband.

"Now is not the time. When the time comes, I will tell my father." Shen Ruyi thought about Princess Changqing's marriage, and felt irritated. This trouble must be resolved first, and it cannot be because of her personal affairs with Beixiu Yan. , ruining the reconciliation between the two countries.

"Why isn't it time? Were you deceived by that man? He just used this reason to excuse you and didn't want to be responsible for you?" Shen Rulan said the speculation in her heart and became even more worried about Shen Ruzhou.

"No way. He is the best man in the world." When Shen Ruzhou said this, the proud look on his face fell right into Bei Xiuyan's eyes.

His hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly into fists, feeling even more sorry for this frail woman.

After hearing Shen Ruzhou's answer, Shen Rulan let out a long sigh, "You spoke for His Highness like this when you were obsessed with him, and now you do it again for a man who dares to mention it. I don't blame my father for being angry."

The past scene flashed in Shen Ruzhou's mind as Shen Rulan mentioned it. She felt regretful and bit her lip tightly, "That was because I was young and ignorant and was deceived."

"Then do you know that you were not deceived this time?" Shen Rulan asked immediately, hoping that Shen Ruzhou would listen to her persuasion.

"Not this time." Shen Ruzhou knew that Sister Rulan was doing it for her own good, but there were some things she couldn't say now, so she pushed Shen Rulan.

"It's time for grandma to take medicine. I'm afraid Grandma Qin may not be able to take care of her well because she's old. You go and watch her and help her."

Seeing Shen Ruzhou driving her out, Shen Rulan sighed helplessly: "Alas! I know you have a stubborn temper, but I can't help you. Just take care of yourself."

As soon as Shen Rulan left, Beixiu Yan walked in. Shen Ruzhou smelled the familiar medicinal fragrance on his body, turned around and saw his eyes instantly turned red.

Bei Xiuyan leaned over to help her up, but Shen Ruzhou shook his head, "My father made me kneel down. I can't get up if he doesn't say anything."

Bei Xiuyan said distressedly: "I've been kneeling for two hours, isn't it enough?"

"It's not enough. I've done a lot of things that I've done to my family in the past, and I feel guilty. Just let me kneel down, and I'll feel better."

Shen Ruzhou's voice was broken and sad. In the previous life, she broke up with her family because of Xiao Chenyan, and in the end she caused her father and brother to die tragically. In this new life, she made them worry about her together. She really owed her family too much.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Beixiu Yan simply lifted up his robe and knelt down with Shen Ruzhou.
