Shen Jiao: Even a parrot is more sensible than a cheap dad.

Shen Qingcheng's letter was only half a page long, and its central message was simple and clear—

Same as above.

As for the last piece of writing... it's a bit like dog's scratch, the kind of ugly thing you'd paste on a door to ward off evil spirits.

Then look at the signature: Your father.

Shen Jiao was puzzled.

Whose father?

I don't know them or am not familiar with them.

Burn it, burn it.

As for the contents of the letter, she didn't read it at all.

"Does the young lady wish to reply?" Xi'an asked carefully, bringing out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone as she inquired.

Although the letter came from the Marquis of Anbo's residence, Xi'an did not connect Shen Jiao with Miss Shen.

The main reason is that Shen Jiao has a very good temper.

Miss Shen was a notorious wicked woman.

The two people are completely unrelated.

It would be strange if they could even make that connection.

"Let me think about how to reply." Shen Jiao had a bit of a headache.

She wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't feel the excitement of returning to her hometown, nor did she feel the tearful joy of seeing her relatives.

Most importantly, Madam Shen told her to forget the past and that she didn't blame her.

So, what exactly happened before?

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

"Xi'an, do you know the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anbo's family?"

Xi'an blurted out, "I know her. Everyone in the capital knows her. She's no good!"

Feeling like she'd been scolded even though she hadn't been scolded herself, Shen Jiao thought, "...Haha, really?"

“Yes,” Xi’an affirmed.

Shen Jiao: "..."

Xi'an was an ordinary palace maid and had no opportunity to go out to buy things.

In addition, the tyrant has rarely held palace banquets in recent years, and even when he does hold one, it always ends in bloodshed.

This made families who aspired to marry into wealth and status hesitant to bring their daughters into the palace to their deaths.

Therefore, Xi'an had never met Miss Shen and did not recognize Shen Jiao.

However, she got along very well with the eunuch in charge of purchasing, and sometimes they would get together to chat about gossip when they were bored.

As they talked, they began to discuss the glorious deeds of Miss Shen.
