Chapter 18: It was the past, it is a perversion now
"Good morning, ma'am. How are you?"
"Good morning! I feel much better."
Several servants who had a good relationship with Shi Beinian greeted her when they saw her, and Shi Beinian also responded enthusiastically.
After coming out of Shen Xiaoyan's bedroom, she felt a lot more relaxed.
"Madam, you must have worked hard last night. Have breakfast before practicing Tai Chi." Aunt Chen placed bird's nest and other supplements on the dining table.
Shi Bei Nian didn't think much about it and just thought that Aunt Chen did this to take care of her injuries.
"Auntie Chen, would you like to come together later?" Shi Beinian asked sweetly.
"No, there are a lot of people at home these days. I will practice Tai Chi with my wife later."
"it is good."
After dinner, Shi Beinian walked to the back garden in the same direction to practice Tai Chi.
The air here is fresh and clean, the surrounding scenery is elegant and the environment is pleasant.
In this place, Shen Xiaoyan, standing on the top floor, could just look through the window and overlook the scenery below, and could see every move of Shi Beinian.
He was no longer sleepy, so he picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of it, staring at Shi Beinian with his deep, dark eyes.
At first it was just her, then two, three, five, and a group of people.
The younger generation of the Shen family woke up early and was shocked to see this scene.
"Good morning, Master and Madam."
"Well, let's practice together."
"Okay." The younger generation who did not dare to resist followed suit and joined in.
The sun rises little by little over time.
There was a light layer of sweat on his forehead, and a strand of hair stuck to his flushed cheek.
"That's all for today. If you have any questions, come to me!" Shi Beinian waved his hand and left with the big kettle.
The two men put out their cigarettes and followed, and called out to Shi Beinian when they reached a deserted place.
"Mother."
Shi Beinian stopped, with a faint smile on his pure and flawless face, and turned to look at the two of them.
They were two young guys who actually called her Mistress. Shi Beinian guessed that they were the younger generation of the Shen family.
"What's matter?"
The two young men were stunned. They didn't expect that Shi Bei Nian could be so lively and charming without makeup.
The older young man questioned, "Isn't the person you like Qi Huaizhi? Why are you with the master? Are you just pretending?"
Shi Beinian frowned. She remembered that in the original novel, Shi Beinian was locked in the room and not allowed to go out a few days after entering the Shen family.
Was it because he said something wrong here? And Shen Xiaoyan found out?
"Am I right? The one you've always liked in your heart is Qi Huaizhi."
"Is this the way you talk to the mistress? Are you questioning my judgment or the charm of Uncle S Xiaoyan?"
Having learned his lesson, Shi Beinian didn't dare to call out the full name.
"The whole country knows that you like Qi Huaizhi. If you are forced to tell us, we can help you so that you can be with Qi Huaizhi." Another young man echoed.
"Then don't help me. Aren't you afraid that I will complain?"
"We are sure that the person you like is Qi Huaizhi. In the past, you pursued Qi Huaizhi..."
"You also said it was in the past. As the saying goes, reputation can be good or bad. The past was the past, and now it's a perversion." Shi Beinian rolled her eyes at them. She still had to go back to apply the medicine.

“Master, this…” the man in black suit hesitated.
"Bring these two youngsters over here and notify their parents." Shen Xiaoyan looked at the camera screen indifferently.
"Where's Madame?"
"Let her be." It was just a small test, and he was smart. If she colluded with those people, he would teach her a lesson.
But how could such a good person suddenly change?
The Shi Beinian he saw was different from the one in the rumors and the one in the investigation.
The biggest conflict is that she seems to no longer like Qi Huaizhi.
"Oh no, I'm lost." After Shi Beinian realized that he was lost, he walked back immediately. The strange thing was that he seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and his cell phone had no signal.
"Is anyone there?" Shi Beinian shouted loudly.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of birds singing. Relying on his memory, Mo Ming continued to walk back and came to a strange building that looked like a big tree.
It's like a tree house from a fairy tale.
Shi Beinian knocked on the door, but no one responded. He pushed open the wooden door out of curiosity, and an old and classical atmosphere filled the air.
It can be seen that this was once a bookstore, but it has been abandoned for a long time. Spider webs are everywhere, dust has accumulated thickly on it, and traces of damage to the walls are clearly visible.
Shi Beinian walked in curiously. The shelves contained everything from classical masterpieces to modern literature, with all kinds of books in full view, except for the online novels that she liked.
There was nothing fun to do. When I was about to go out, the door was closed by someone.
After pushing several times without success, Shi Bei Nian calmed down and guessed that someone was deliberately trying to harm her, and this person was definitely not Shen Xiaoyan.
In her mind, Shen Xiaoyan was not a good person, but he would not do such despicable and sneaky things. After some reasoning, it could only be the old men of the Shen family who had ulterior motives.
"You bully me? When I get out, I will punish all nine clans of yours!... No, no, the nine clans also include myself." Shi Beinian wandered calmly in the study.
"Master, it's almost time. We still haven't found your wife." Butler Xu pushed the door open and walked in.
In the dim room, two young men and two elderly men in their fifties and sixties were squatting on the ground.
"Not in the room?"
"There was no one in the room. I checked the surveillance video. After the picture flashed, the lady suddenly disappeared."
Only then did Shen Xiaoyan stand up and leave the room.
Has the old man who was eyeing him greedily finally been unable to bear it any longer?
"Gather everyone to the lobby. Zhong Ze, go contact that person."
"Yes." Zhong Ze left.
Butler Xu followed closely behind: "I hope Madam is fine."
Today was similar to yesterday. They stood according to their seniority, waiting to be served tea, but Shi Beinian was the only one missing.
"Master, where is the mistress?" It was the old man with the cane again.
"One chance." Shen Xiaoyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, his voice low.
He is trying to get those with dirty hands to surrender voluntarily.
As soon as she finished speaking, the two people who had tried to win over Shi Beinian and brainwash her were dragged up by the bodyguards.
Their handsome faces were bruised and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, and it was obvious that they had been punished.
"You have one chance. Turn yourself in voluntarily. If you are found by the head of the family, the consequences will be worse than death." Zhong Ze said in a deep voice on behalf of Shen Xiaoyan.
No one said a word in the huge hall; even the few-month-old infants did not cry or make a fuss.
Shen Xiaoyan looked at several powerful elders coldly, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Master, we all know that the mistress likes... Qi Huaizhi. Will she go to find Qi Huaizhi?"
"A woman like Shi Beinian is not worthy of her position. Please change your wife, Master."
After the two old men took the lead, the quiet hall became noisy.
"Yes, how could our Shen family's mistress find a fake daughter to be the mistress, and a little star at that."
"The most important thing is that she has another man in her heart. How can she be worthy of the head of the family?"
"It's better to leave. Let's change someone to be the mistress. Who wouldn't be better than Shi Bei Nian?"
"Mom, I was still a fan of the dog-licking hater. When I knew that she was the mistress of our Shen family, I was dumbfounded."
……
"Shen Xiaoyan and I are a legal couple. You can't stand being beaten? Today, I will bring the criminal to justice!"
Shi Beinian was holding a 1.7-meter-high wooden stick in his right hand, with his left hand on his waist. His body was dirty, and even his fair little face was stained with stains.
She glared at the group of people who were taking advantage of their age and seniority, and walked forward with a fierce and fearless attitude.
Shen Xiaoyan's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that she came back by herself...although she looked a little embarrassed.
Shi Beinian walked up to Shen Xiaoyan with a stick and looked at him straight.
Shen Xiaoyan understood and thought that Shi Beinian wanted to identify the murderer personally, so he nodded slightly in agreement.
Shi Bei Nian was surprised and suddenly threw the stick away. She hugged Shen Xiaoyan's arm, tears streaming down her face, and she cried, "Uncle Xiaoyan, you have to make the decision for Nian Nian."
