Chapter 399 A blessing in disguise, a lucky break
Seeing this scene, Shen Qionghua could only spread her hands towards Shen Yi and make a helpless expression.
Shen Yi's knees suddenly went weak and he knelt obediently on the floor of the carriage.
With his head lowered, his eyes rolled around.
The truth must not be told.
If he told the truth and knew that it was Prince Rui who taught him, it would definitely involve the fact that he sneaked out of the palace through a dog hole.
Now that Prince Rui is their savior, his mother will certainly not blame Prince Rui for teaching him martial arts.
But he was punished for two crimes: secretly practicing martial arts and sneaking out of the house. It would be strange if his mother didn't punish him.
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yes... My sister asked Mr. Huo to come to the mansion to help me with my studies. Later, it became inconvenient, so I ended up going to the Huo mansion every day."
"It was during that time that I met a martial arts master. I asked him to teach me. Mother, you don't have to look for him, he has already left the capital."
"As for killing someone, this was my first time today, and I was really pushed into a corner."
"Mom, if you want to hit me, go ahead."
As Shen Yi spoke, he spread out his hands and offered them with a pitiful look on his face.
Shen Qionghua looked at Shen Yi suspiciously.
But she still persuaded him: "Mother, please forgive Ayi this time. He was brave this time. Let's consider his merits as atonement for his crime. Don't punish him."
Shen Qionghua advised earnestly, but Lin Wanru looked at the slightly tender hands stretched out in front of her and raised her hands expressionlessly.
Shen Yi closed his eyes nervously.
The next moment, he felt something heavy on his hand.
Ok?
This force is not right.
Shen Yi opened his eyes in confusion, and what came into view was a pair of slender hands.
Lin Wanru took Shen Yi's hand and said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Get up."
"what?"
Shen Yi looked at Lin Wanru, then looked at Shen Qionghua who was also clearly a little surprised.
A Niang didn't get angry?
In the past, whenever the topic of martial arts was mentioned, my mother would get angry.
But now, not only did he secretly practice martial arts, he also killed people in front of his mother, and killed more than one person. How could she not be angry?
Is this still my mother?
Could it be that he was so angry that he made me dizzy?
Shen Yi was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Lin Wanru utter a word, "I agree to your martial arts training."
"Ah? What!" Shen Yi jumped up in shock and hit his head on the roof of the car. The sound was so loud that it made his scalp tighten.
He groaned and squatted down, covering his head to relieve the headache.
Lin Wanru was immediately irritated by his behavior. She pointed at Shen Yi and said to Shen Qionghua, "Look at him, he's jumping up and down, not steady at all."
"How dare I let him learn martial arts like this? If he were to go to the battlefield, jumping around like this would be very conspicuous and would easily lead to his death."
Shen Yi was originally holding his head to ease the pain, but after hearing this, he didn't even care about the pain. He was afraid that Lin Wanru would regret it, so he immediately sat on the ground, pulled the corner of Lin Wanru's clothes, and said with a rogue look: "Mom! Mom~ You promised to let me learn martial arts, you can't regret it~"
Lin Wanru snorted coldly, "I want to regret it, will you listen to me?"
"I still learn it secretly by myself, haha!"
Shen Yi choked, he was ultimately in the wrong in this matter.
He smiled sweetly, clenched his fists, and sat on the ground to massage Lin Wanru's legs. "Mom, I know you are the best, Mom~"
Lin Wanru glanced at him sideways, stretched out her index finger and tapped his nose, saying, "You are the best at flattering others, coaxing them with words but secretly disobeying them."
Shen Yi stuck out his tongue and said nothing, but he couldn't suppress the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Lin Wanru withdrew her hand, looked at Shen Qionghua, and said, "My sister Hua is the most considerate, unlike this naughty monkey."
Shen Qionghua curved her lips and smiled, happy for Shen Yi.
Lin Wanru took Shen Qionghua's hand and said, "Since Ayi wants to learn martial arts, you will have to take care of the matter of the martial arts master. You are better at judging people than mother."
Shen Qionghua smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, mother. I will carefully select the right person. But... mother, why did you make up your mind? Didn't you decide not to let Ayi go down this path?"
Shen Qionghua remembered clearly how much opposition there was at the beginning.
Everyone says Ayi is naughty, but in the family, A'niang is the one who loves Ayi the most.
Before, when Ayi was making a fuss about wanting to learn martial arts and caused such a scene, A'niang was so cruel that she punished Ayi.
She also thought that her mother would never agree to let Ayi learn martial arts in this life.
Lin Wanru sighed softly and said, "You saw it too. It's impossible to stop him. I tried every possible way to stop him, but in the end he secretly went to learn it on his own."
"Rather than letting him secretly learn martial arts from some unknown people, he's still so young. What if he gets taken advantage of? It's better to find a reliable martial arts master to teach him."
"What's more..." Lin Wanru held Shen Qionghua's hand, "After this incident, I've figured it out. When encountering trouble, one can't just hide. The more you hide, the more aggressive others will become."
"Don't you see that Earl Yongning is about to die, yet he still dares to send people to kill us?"
"If Ayi hadn't killed someone today, and those two secret guards hadn't left me behind, and had carried me on the run for so long, I might not have been able to survive until I met King Rui."
"I used to think that as long as he didn't practice martial arts and didn't go to the battlefield, he could grow up peacefully, marry and have children, and then live out his life. That way, after I die, I can give an account to your father in the underworld."
"But they overlooked that death doesn't have to happen on the battlefield. As long as people are alive, accidents can happen at any time. Who can predict when a crisis will strike?"
"A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Our Shen family is rich and powerful. Even if we don't take the initiative to offend others, we might be targeted one day."
"If I encounter this kind of assassination situation again in the future, and Ayi dies at the hands of the villain because I didn't allow him to practice martial arts, then I will really be ashamed to see your father."
"Since he wants to learn martial arts, then let him learn. Whether he goes to the battlefield or joins the army is another matter. At least he has an extra skill to rely on and can protect himself."
"This way, even if something unexpected happens to our Shen family in the future, he can survive on his own."
When Shen Qionghua heard her say this, she knew that her mother had really thought it through.
It seems that this kid Ayi turned a disaster into a blessing and hit the mark unexpectedly.
