Shen Yuan was abandoned in the wilderness at birth and suffered greatly for eighteen years. The only light in her life was a weak scholar. He taught her to read and write, and she gathered herbs to...
As she spoke, Shen Yuan raised her head to look at Shen Wei and Jiang Shi. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
“I know that Madam Shen suspects my identity and refuses to acknowledge me as her daughter. My sister Yun Jin, brother Chang Shu, and brother Chang Qing also dislike me. But ever since General Shen took me into his household, I have regarded you all as my family. Why would I harm my own family?”
"I was new to the household and had no helpers. How could I possibly tie my two younger brothers up in my own courtyard and then throw them into the water?"
“It was clearly my younger brothers Changshu and Changqing who were playing around when they threw the football ball into the water vat. They wouldn’t let me or the servants in the courtyard touch their ball, and insisted on climbing into the water vat to retrieve it themselves, which is why they fell into the water and lost consciousness. Madam Shen… actually suspects that I caused the death of my two younger brothers.”
Seeing the tears in Shen Yuan's eyes, Shen Wei felt a pang of heartache. He quickly shielded Shen Yuan behind him, saying, "These two mischievous monkeys are always playing around. They treat their balls like treasures and never let anyone touch them! Yuan Yuan is a sensible child. Not only did she not argue with these two rascals, but she also saved them! No one should doubt Yuan Yuan and hurt the child's feelings!"
Seeing Shen Wei so protective of Shen Yuan, the servants of Changfeng Residence also stepped forward and said, "Master, Madam, it was indeed the two young masters who accidentally fell into the water, and the eldest young lady saved them! The eldest young lady's clothes are also wet, so please ask the family physician to prescribe an extra dose of medicine to dispel wind and cold!"
Seeing that the servants were also siding with Shen Yuan, Jiang's face changed repeatedly.
She underestimated Shen Yuan; her methods of winning people's hearts are truly remarkable!
"Cough cough cough!"
At this moment, Shen Qingshu, who was being pricked by the silver needles, suddenly opened his eyes, coughed twice, and sat up in bed.
