Chapter 167 Substitution
Chapter 167 Substitution
When Jiang Yun approached Shen Qingyu, he saw Shen Youhong in her arms at a glance, and screamed in fright, "Uncle Nanrong, who is he? Why does he look so much like me!"
There are many people in the world who look alike, but it is incredible when they look as if they were cast from the same mold. Moreover, they are the same age.
"Jiang Jiang, tell Miss Shen your birthday."
Jiang Yun curled his lips and said, "Uncle Nanrong, you have been led astray by this cunning Sister Shen. When grandpa comes back, he will definitely tell grandpa that they all bullied him."
"February 4th." Jiang Yun whispered, "Grandpa said he didn't know either. He calculated this date."
Shen Youhong's birthday is the second day of February, and Jiang Jiang's birthday is the fourth day of February, both are so close.
"Zi Yu, what you mean is..."
Could it be that he was waiting for her on Yuntai Mountain just for this matter?
Nan Rong's indifferent eyes suddenly became deep, "I will send Jiang Jiang to the Zen Taoist of Lingxu Temple. Next year, you find an opportunity to bring him into the Shen family."
It was still the indifferent voice, the indifferent expression, but Master Nanrong's words made Shen Qingyu feel a chill for no reason. Shen Qingyu was not stupid. How could she not hear Master Nanrong's intention when he said this?
Could it be that the Nanrong family also wants to swallow up the Shen family?
Or maybe he was helping her?
In any aristocratic family, if a woman does not have brothers from the same mother to support her, even if she is a legitimate daughter and has a higher status than a concubine's daughter born to a concubine in the mansion, her life will not be easy.
Just like the original Shen Qingyu, after her only biological brother Shen Youhong died, she, the legitimate daughter, was driven out of the Shen family by Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong, mother and daughter, and married to the Xu family in Linzhou, a poor scholar named Xu Mingsheng.
Although this marriage was arranged by the old masters of the Shen and Xu families, if Shen Chuanhe disagreed or found a concubine to marry, no one would say anything. What's more, Shen Xitong was the most suitable candidate in terms of age, and the third lady Shen Pingwan should be chosen to marry in terms of status. However, after the death of Shen Youhong in the book, Shen Qingyu had no one to rely on. Those who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and those who deliberately wanted to seize Shen Qingyu's position as the legitimate lady of the Shen family, would not tolerate her.
Now, Shen Qingyu wants to gain a foothold in the Shen family and deal with the pregnant Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong. The method proposed by Nan Rongyan is undoubtedly the most appropriate and will not arouse suspicion.
Send Jiang Yun to Lingxu Temple for a few months, and then bring him back to the Shen family. By then, Shen Qingyu only needs to tell Shen Chuanhe and others that Shen Youhong's illness was cured by Taoist Chanxi. Even if Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong have doubts, Shen Chuanhe will definitely believe it.
After all, the Zen Taoist of Lingxu Temple is very famous in Jinling Prefecture and is highly respected. He is a hermit master who is trusted by even the imperial court. As long as the Zen Taoist says that Jiang Yun is Shen Youhong, who would not believe it?
Although Jiang Yun and Shen Youhong look exactly the same, Shen Youhong is thin due to years of taking medicine, but Jiang Yun is different. He is lively and energetic all day long and looks strong and healthy. If Shen Qingyu takes him into the Shen family now, anyone with a discerning eye will know that it is a fake. How can he deceive the shrewd Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong, let alone Shen Chuanhe.
No matter who told Shen Qingyu about this method of using someone else as a substitute, except Nan Rongyan, she would not be so shocked. But the fact is, this method came from Nan Rongyan's mouth.
He is Master Nanrong. In the eyes of the people in Jiangnan, he is Master Nanrong, who is as high and mighty as a banished immortal. Shouldn't he always be dismissive of such things?
However, at this moment, this exiled immortal in the eyes of the world told Shen Qingyu with his indifferent voice, even threatening her, "Second Miss Shen, you have no way out."
Immediately, a chill came from behind, and Shen Qingyu felt unprecedented panic and fear. Master Nanrong, this banished immortal who seemed indifferent to worldly affairs, was able to hide himself very deeply, because he had deceived everyone in Jinling Prefecture without even opening his mouth.
Rather than saying that she approached him deliberately and used him, it would be more accurate to say that he was waiting for her to jump into the trap he set and surrender herself.
What is hidden behind this? In the ending that she doesn’t know, what kind of calculations and plans are hidden behind this sweet love story?
Compared to Shen Qingyu's shock, Jiang Yun was obviously much calmer. His uncle Nan Rong liked to pretend to be an immortal on weekdays, but he was deceived by his uncle Nan Rong's appearance of a banished immortal all these years. He was really miserable. It would have been fine if he had met the most sinister uncle Nan Rong in the world, but now he also met a sister Shen who was as cunning as a fox. It was really too miserable.
"Nan Rongyan, aren't you afraid that I will tell the world that you, a banished immortal, are actually a hypocritical hypocrite!"
Hearing Shen Qingyu scolding him so boldly, Nan Rongyan's elegant and handsome face did not change at all, and there was no sign of joy or anger on his face.
He didn't want to hide it from her anymore. Sooner or later, she would know it anyway.
"No one will believe it." Just when Shen Qingyu thought that Master Nanrong would not answer her, she did not expect that the fairy-like master in white clothes walked up to her, slowly half-knelt down, and looked at her calmly.
The cold gaze is like a cold pond, deep and bottomless.
The slender white fingertips touched Shen Qingyu's plain face, no longer ashamed and angry as before, "Just like the rumors you spread, do the people in Jinling Mansion believe you more, Second Miss Shen, or me more? Also, even if I really took your body here, no one would believe that I did it. They would only say that Second Miss Shen was unfaithful to her husband and threatened me several times before..."
The voice was light, but extremely cold. Shen Qingyu trembled all over. Yes, Master Nanrong was right. If he really had flirted with her, she would have had no choice but to swallow her bitterness and endure it in silence.
Nan Rongyan, what kind of person are you?
He was able to deceive the world, and he did it for many years, and no one ever suspected him.
Perhaps, this is a living person, the real Nan Rongyan, not a tool in Tianshuiwen. Every step he takes to get closer to the Shen family has his own purpose. This person has never given his true heart.
As if he saw through Shen Qingyu's inner thoughts, Nan Rongyan sighed softly, "If one day you can even deceive yourself, who else in this world can you not deceive?"
Including one's own heart, one's own words and actions, one's own thoughts and ideas, all are lies.
