"Mother, let's not take this donkey back home, okay?" Shen Jing stepped forward and took Shen Qing's arm. "Sis won't be using it in the future anyway, so just find a place to sell it."

"Do we have to sell it if it's useless? Then when I come back, won't my sister be useless too?" Shen Qing started to retort.

Shen Jing's expression changed, and she subconsciously looked at Cheng Xue, who didn't react.

"How can a man be like a donkey?"

"Although I'm not as good as my donkey, all living things have spirits. Can I bear to see it being skinned and stripped of its tendons, sliced ​​into 180 pieces of donkey meat, and then put into your bowl?" Shen Qing said, covering her mouth with a hint of apology. "I said something wrong, I won't blame you, will I?"

Everything has a soul, that’s what you said!

Shen Jing's face turned pale with disgust at Shen Qing's last two sentences. When she heard Shen Qing's question, she subconsciously shook her head.

"It's just a donkey. The General's Mansion can afford to raise it. Since you are kind-hearted, just take it home and raise it." After Cheng Xue got on the carriage, she waved her hand to signal the servants to help Shen Qing get on the carriage. "Help the young lady get on the carriage."

Before getting in the car, Shen Qing glanced sideways at the pale-faced Shen Jing, and a smug, mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought that all vicious characters should smile like this, right?

Favoring the adopted daughter? What the horse sees is determined by the run!

In the carriage, Cheng Xue kept holding Shen Qing’s hand and looked at her with concern.

"Qingqing, why did you arrive in the capital a month late? Did something happen?"

"There was indeed a little accident." Shen Qing sighed, "We encountered bandits on the way to the capital."

"Sister was captured by bandits? Those bandits did not treat sister..." Shen Jing said in surprise, "Sister, you have suffered."

This is a clear hint.

"That's not the case." Shen Qing shook his head. "Those bandits were only after money. I gave them money and escaped while they were counting it."

Cheng Xue's eyes became moist again after hearing this. Why was her daughter so pitiful?

"Since sister has escaped, why don't you come to the capital?" Shen Jing didn't believe that the group of bandits were so kind.

"I had no money and was starving when I was saved by a grandmother. She had no children and was dying, so I decided to stay with her." Deeply moved, Shen Qing wiped away her tears. "Grandma and her donkey were inseparable. Now that she's gone, I can't bear to see the donkey go... That's why I took it with me, and made my mother laugh."

Cheng Xue also started to cry. She reached out and held Shen Qing in her arms, patting her back distressedly.

"My dear, you are so grateful and repay my kindness. You are worthy of being my daughter."

Shen Jing watched the scene with gritted teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn to pieces.

"Then why did you treat your elder sister with such rudeness when you saw her leading the donkey? You even spoke rudely to your younger sister?"

"Jing'er has met Qingqing?" Cheng Xue was a little surprised when she heard Shen Jing's words, "Then why don't you bring your sister back?"

Shen Jing looked at Cheng Xue with an apologetic look, "Yes, it was my sister who was so rude at the time, Jing'er didn't recognize that it was my sister."

"I know you don't like me, but you can't just slander me like that. If I really believed what you said, why would I bring that donkey into the capital? It would only make people dislike me."

"You! I didn't slander you, nor do I dislike you..."

"Okay, Jing'er." Cheng Xue glanced at Shen Jing with displeasure. Isn't she usually very well-behaved?

Shen Jing closed her mouth unwillingly, staring hatefully at the dead green tea in Cheng Xue's arms.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Shen Qing was so eloquent! She, Shen Jing, was the eldest daughter trained by the general's mansion, while she, Shen Qing, was just a country girl!

Except for her faster talking skills, she is definitely no match for her in other aspects! Just wait, sooner or later she will let Shen Qing know that there are some things she is not worthy of touching!

Cheng Xue hardly stopped talking along the way, and kept asking Shen Qing how his life was in the past and whether he had suffered or anything.

Shen Jing also sat quietly aside, occasionally glancing at Shen Qing with obscure eyes.

The carriage wobbled to the general's mansion, and Cheng Xue walked in front, holding Shen Qing's hand, completely ignoring Shen Jing behind her.

"Qingqing, look, this is our home."

Cheng Xue introduced everything in the general's mansion to Shen Qing, as if she had a lot to say to her.

"I've asked Chen Jing to notify your father and your eldest brother. You sit here for a while. Mom will talk to you. They will be back soon." Cheng Xue pushed the cake in front of Chen Qing's face, "Eat some cake."

"Thank you, mother." Shen Qing nodded obediently.

Shen Qing glanced at Shen Jing from the corner of her eyes. She was quiet now.

Humph, she has never lost an argument.

After just a few words, we heard footsteps outside the hall and then a middle-aged man walked in with a young man.

"The one in front is General Shen Jianshan, your father. The young man following behind is your eldest brother, Shen Yanzhi."

"Madam, I heard that Qingqing is back?" Shen Jianshan could tell from his loud voice that he was a military general.

"Yes, husband, it's Qingqing." Cheng Xue took Shen Qing's hand, "Qingqing, this is your father."

Shen Qing looked at Shen Jianshan and saluted obediently: "Father."

"Alike, very similar. Qingqing, you look a lot like your mother when she was young!" Shen Jianshan looked at Shen Qing and nodded with satisfaction.

"Qingqing, I'm your elder brother!" Shen Yanzhi squeezed out from behind Shen Jianshan, "Welcome home."

"Big brother."

The three people surrounded Shen Qing and talked non-stop.

Shen Jing was excluded outside, and her eyes suddenly became wet. She couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she turned around and ran out.
