Chapter 21: Let’s Get the Marriage License
"Shen Jinci can’t possibly be outwitted by those incompetent people of the Shen Family," Li Sihe said, his expression numb, his fingertips pressing against each other until they turned pale, "He is too cunning, probably turning their schemes against them."
Li Tingmo sneered at Li Sihe, "It seems burning for a few days didn’t fry your brains."
It was late at night at the Shen Family Mansion Ancestral Hall, where Shen Shiniang knelt prostrate on the ground, his entire body trembling incessantly.
"Jinci, the news in the newspaper has nothing to do with me! At my age, why would I take such a great risk to plot against you? What good would it do me?"
"It indeed does you no good, which is why I’m also curious if you’re tired of living since you drugged me," Shen Jinci said, his voice emotionless.
A chilling wind swept through the ancestral hall, bringing with it rain that intensified the sense of dread.
Shen Jinci stood with his back to Shen Shiniang. As he turned around, looking down at the panic-stricken man without a trace of pity, his indifference was to the extreme.
"You... you have no evidence, how can you say I drugged you?" Shen Shiniang, filled with nerves, struggled to maintain a calm facade, "Jinci, after all, I am your uncle, why would I harm you! This newspaper, it has nothing to do with me! Do you have any evidence?"
Shen Jinci’s expression became even colder as he replied, "The strategies that come out of your brain, I don’t need evidence to guess them."
Seems there is none.
