It has nothing to do with me
Si Lianye remained calm and said to his mother: ”I have something to say to you.”
Originally, he had planned to wait until the banquet was over before he could talk to her. But now, it seemed that he should just forget about it.
Imperial Mother's Mother Area froze on his face, frowning slightly: What do you want to tell me?
Si Lianye curled her lips: ”Believe me, you won't want others to hear about this.”
Imperial Mother looked at him fixedly again: ”Alright, come with me.”
She made many guesses in an instant, but as soon as her son opened his mouth, she knew that none of them were true.
She looked at him with an ashen face. ”Where did you hear this from?”
”Don't worry about where I heard it from, just tell me, is what I'm saying really related to you?” he asked.
Imperial Mother looked at his son in anger: ”Do you really think I am such an unbearable person? I've never interfered with what happened that year, and now you're actually asking me such a question? Am I still your mother? ”
”You mean, this really has nothing to do with you?” ”No,” he said.
”Of course not, I think you're crazy for this period of time? Hm? Was it instigated by that woman? She can't stand me, can she? I knew she hated me the last time. What do you keep a woman like that for? ”Huh?” She shouted angrily, looking as if she really wanted to do it.
Si Lianye looked at her deeply: ”This matter has nothing to do with her, it was Si Haiyan who told me this, you don't have to be so nervous, he casually said it, there's no evidence, so I'm asking you this, why are you angry?”
Imperial Mother laughed coldly, ”Even though the child disappeared without a trace when the accident happened, how old was he then? Even if a person didn't die, he might not even be able to remember what happened. At this time, someone suddenly appeared and said that it was Si Haiyan, don't you think it's strange that not only did you not investigate him, but instead listened to his words and interrogated me? ”
Si Lianye's face darkened, ”Of course I've already investigated him. He is indeed a member of our Si Family.”
”That doesn't mean anything.” She raised her voice and said, ”So how did he spend all these years? Why did I come back at this time to tell you all this? There must be a conspiracy behind this! ”
”Is that so? I'll go through all this slowly. ” He slowly said, ”I was just curious so I asked you, but looking at your energetic look, I was relieved. It's not that you are the best, otherwise I really wouldn't want to make a move.”
”Hmph, even if he's serious, it seems that you value him more than me. Hmph, those are people like you who only know how to talk inside and out.”
Si Lianye's expression darkened, ”I just want to know what happened back then and I want to seek justice for him. After all, they were two lives back then and they were even my uncle and aunt, my father's relatives.”
Imperial Mother's lips carried a mocking expression: ”I didn't know that my son actually had such a sense of justice. It's such a pity that I didn't send you to become a public servant back then.”
The cold ridicule caused his expression to change, ”I hope it's the same as you said, otherwise …”
”Or what? Will you take me to the police station? ” she asked, staring at him coldly.
He pursed his lips, not saying a word. After a while, he said, ”I'm leaving.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Imperial Mother stared fixedly at his back, the expression in her eyes complex beyond words.
After Si Lianye left, she no longer had the mood to socialize with others. She walked out with large strides, casually dealt with the crowd, and then started to search for traces of Shen Xiran.
She said before that she wanted to go out and get some fresh air …
His eyes narrowed as he strode out.
The garden was not that big. Even though there were a lot of plants growing in the middle and flowers blooming, one could still see everything clearly.
However, after sweeping a glance, he didn't see her. He couldn't help but be startled and his face immediately darkened.
He had previously said that he would protect her well, so he didn't even bring Zhuo Ya along.
His heart skipped a beat as he looked around.
Finally, he saw a small group of people in an inconspicuous corner.
Before he even got close, the sounds of arguing could be heard.
”You said that you were the one who did it? The person I clearly saw was you, and you still dare to argue with me! ” The voice came from a familiar, domineering woman.
He frowned as he looked over, and realized that there were about five or six people surrounding Shen Xiran. None of their expressions were very friendly, at least they had a look of schadenfreude.
Shen Xiran, on the other hand, was not afraid. He looked at them calmly: ”If I said there's no one left, then there's no point in slandering me.”
”Slander, who do you think you are? Why should I slander you? Who do you think you are? This is really funny, let me tell you, when Wen Qi comes out later, you better apologize obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. ”
”I will definitely apologize if I did it. I don't need you to tell me, but I didn't do it. So, if you want me to apologize, don't even think about it!”
Shen Xiran looked up with a resolute face.
At this time, Si Lianye also realised that the one who spoke was Lu Lejia.
She's back?
He frowned, and raised his head to look at Shen Xiran.
