No sooner had Shen Yu been happily buried alongside the Crown Prince of Wei than Shen Qingcheng and Wang Fu took advantage of the chaos to expose all of Shen Yu's misdeeds over the years.

Now, those who used to gossip behind her back have no face left to criticize the new empress for being petty and arrogant.

Any family that adopts a sister like Shen Yu who causes trouble is truly cursed.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Jiao seemed especially pitiful.

Born with a head start in life, Miss Shen should have been living a life of luxury and pampered by her family, but she is living such a miserable life.

Even the beggars who were struggling to make ends meet felt sympathy for Shen Jiao upon hearing this.

Listening to Liang Heng's vivid and expressive performance, Shen Jiao herself didn't seem to care: "Winning at the starting line or losing at the starting line, it saves me the trouble of making a wasted trip."

Liang Heng was taken aback; it made perfect sense, and he was speechless.

He closed the folding fan in his hand: "Sister Chen, aren't you angry?"

Shen Jiao shook her head.

To put it bluntly, she's not the one suffering, so why is she angry?

She might utter a single regretful remark.

The original owner has already passed away, so saying anything more is pointless. If the Marquis of Anbo's mansion had broken free from its infatuation earlier and made some progress sooner, the original owner wouldn't have died in a foreign land.

Shen Jiao has no memory and is unable to empathize. To her, the Marquis of Anbo's mansion is just the Marquis of Anbo's mansion, not a home.

Cherishing life, staying away from her cheap father, and living a good life is the greatest way to honor her and the original owner of this body.

Liang Heng thought it would take a long time to comfort Shen Jiao, but he didn't expect her to be so open-minded.

If those women outside could even imagine themselves as Shen Yu's younger sister, they would be itching to go to Wei and whip Shen Yu's corpse.

No wonder Sister Shen was able to become Empress.

Look at this layout.

If Shen Jiao knew what Liang Heng was thinking, she could only give him a shy smile and then tell him, word by word: You're overthinking it.

"So, Sister Shen has forgiven the Marquis of Anbo's mansion?" Liang Heng asked curiously.

Shen Jiao shook her head again: "This isn't up to me."

Some things, once wrong, are simply wrong.

Some people, once missed, are missed forever.

She has no right to speak for her and say "forgive me."

And it can never be forgiven again.

**

Ever since Chen Xiaocha Yu left with her bag, the atmosphere in the royal city has undergone a qualitative change. This qualitative change has led to a quantitative change, and Chen Jiao's drowsiness has improved significantly.

Sleep lying down.

I lean against it to sleep.

Still—

Sleeping standing up.

"Shen Jiaojiao, your purse has been stolen."

The girl, who had been sleeping soundly and snoring softly, suddenly opened her eyes. A look of anxiety flashed across her beautiful face as if an earthquake of magnitude 8 had swept through her home.

"who?!"

"Who dares to be so bold!"

"You can steal from me, but you can't steal my money!"

Which bastard is so reckless?

Shen Jiao looked menacing, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her fair and glossy arms, looking ready to fight.

Ji Yan: "...?"

He understood.

What wakes others up may be a dream, but what wakes up a frizzy hamster is definitely the result of a dream.

"You're awake now?" Ji Yan raised an eyebrow.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Jiao had rehearsed the battle plan for catching the thief in her mind again and again. Only when she met the tyrant's meaningful gaze did she realize that she had been tricked.

What a despicable man, daring to be so arrogant because he's favored!

Shen Jiao wondered if she had been spoiling this jerk too much lately. He even dared to joke about her life?

They don't speak.

Seeing that she didn't speak but her expression was lively, Ji Yan found it amusing: "Still not awake? If you're not awake, I'll have to have Wang Fu take those treasures you hid under your pillow and feed them to the fish."

This is outrageous!

Shen Jiao hurriedly said, "She's awake!!!"

To prove that she was absolutely awake, she shouted with tremendous force.

Ji Yan gave a gentle "Oh," and said, "You're awake but still pretending to be deaf and dumb. I'll have to let Wang Fu take those treasures you hid under your pillow and feed them to the fish."

Shen Jiao: "???"

Are you alright? Are you alright?

What happened to her computer freezing for a moment during forced startup?

What's wrong with her? Her internet connection is bad and there's a delay in receiving the signal.

Her mouth is glued shut, so she can't speak. What's wrong?

Seeing Ji Yan's serious expression, Shen Jiao threw herself into his arms and performed a chokehold: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Don't touch the children I've worked so hard to raise. They and I, their old mother, have had a hard time."

"It's good that you know you're wrong." Ji Yan ruffled the girl's fluffy head.

Strike the snake at its vital point, seize the hamster's lifeline, and you won't have to worry about her ignoring you anymore.

A certain legendary, stern, cruel, and ruthless tyrant smirked smugly, thinking this to himself.

Unexpectedly, the next moment they heard Shen Jiao reflecting with deep remorse: "Of course I was wrong. I will never hide it under my pillow again next time."

Ji Yan: "..."

It's simply unbearable to look at.

"I've given you the keys to both the private treasury and the national treasury, so why do you still act like they're worthless?" The tyrant tried to trick Shen Jiao into spending money like water with him.

Shen Jiao chuckled.

What do you know?

What can a dog of a man who knows nothing of human suffering understand?

She can spend hundreds of thousands to buy a bag, but she can't spend nine yuan to open a VIP membership; it's the same principle.

**

Shen Jiao noticed that her relationship seemed to be having some problems lately.

Other couples who are truly in love take their sweethearts on trips to scenic spots, enjoying food, drinks, entertainment, and shopping.

Ji Yan either taught her how to handle state affairs or how to handle them quickly.

Alternatively, learn how to quickly get others to help with government affairs.
