These words made Cui Mingzhu feel nervous.
However, Cui Mingzhu quickly calmed down.
Following Shen Ningyuan’s words, he said, “Cousin, I understand what you mean. I really shouldn’t have rashly barged into your yard and scolded your maid.”
After Cui Mingzhu finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then her tone suddenly turned cold.
"But there is one fact that I think you should also recognize!"
Shen Ningyuan didn't say anything, waiting quietly for Cui Mingzhu's next words.
Cui Mingzhu's eyes darkened slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "Since ancient times, a woman follows her husband after marriage, and follows her son after her husband's death. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Since you have married into the Ji family, you are no longer a member of the Shen family."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
The only response she received was silence.
Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
She was still too gentle.
Otherwise, Cui Mingzhu would not have the energy to come here to cause trouble for her!
Cui Mingzhu was very nervous and stared fixedly behind the curtain.
She knew she was right, but Shen Ningyuan's lack of response still made her feel a little panicked.
I don’t know how long it took, but Shen Ningyuan’s cold voice finally came from behind the curtain.
"A daughter once married off is like spilled water!"
Then, there was a sound of "gurgling" water.
Through the hazy curtain, Cui Mingzhu saw Shen Ningyuan stand up from the bathtub, and the flying water splashed all over the floor.
Shen Ningyuan walked naked to the screen, raised her hand to pick up the clothes on the shelf, and gently put them on her body.
Shen Ningyuan walked out from behind the screen barefoot, wearing a turquoise robe that hung casually on his body, and he looked extremely lazy.
Because she had just taken a shower, there were still water droplets hanging on her fair skin, and her whole body was so white that it seemed to be glowing.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan, who was so lazy and casual, yet noble, Cui Mingzhu felt a hint of jealousy in her heart.
If it weren't for her background, she would be able to be so magnanimous!
Shen Ningyuan didn't care about the jealousy in Cui Mingzhu's eyes. She walked slowly to the dressing table and picked up a crystal clear jade hairpin.
She casually tied her long black hair behind her head.
With a cold-blooded smile on his face, he walked towards Cui Mingzhu barefoot.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan like this, Cui Mingzhu trembled inexplicably in her heart.
It was as if there was an invisible drum in her chest, beating her heart "boom, boom, boom."
Seeing Shen Ningyuan getting closer, Cui Mingzhu was so nervous that her hands and feet were shaking.
He held onto the door frame with his right hand and managed to keep his balance.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan was already standing in front of her.
Through a half-open door, Cui Mingzhu could clearly see Shen Ningyuan's cold and beautiful face, as well as the coldness in her eyebrows.
Such a Shen Ningyuan made her feel scared from the bottom of her heart.
Cui Mingzhu pretended to be calm and said, "Cousin, you want to -"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Ningyuan suddenly opened the door.
"ah!!!"
Before Cui Mingzhu could pull her hand away, it was clamped tightly by the gap in the door, causing her to let out a piercing scream in pain.
My fingers are connected to my heart, it hurts so much!
Cui Mingzhu wanted to pull her hand out, but she didn't dare to use too much force.
Shen Ningyuan held the door tightly, with her fingers stuck in the crack. Whenever she exerted force, she felt a pain as if her skin and flesh were being peeled off.
Cui Mingzhu was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, with big beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.
The maids in the yard were all shocked by this scene and looked over in unison.
Cui Mingzhu endured the pain and looked up at Shen Ningyuan inside the door.
Tears welled up in the red and swollen eye sockets.
I begged, "Cousin, let me...let me go."
"Is it wrong?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
Cui Mingzhu nodded quickly, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
"I was wrong to say those words to my cousin. She will always be a member of the Shen family, and the Shen family will always be her home!"
Cui Mingzhu was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
But in order to save her fingers, she still answered Shen Ningyuan's words tremblingly.
But after hearing her answer, Shen Ningyuan remained silent for a long time, just looking at Cui Mingzhu quietly.
After a while, a cold voice said, "That's not the right answer."
Cui Mingzhu stared at Shen Ningyuan with wide eyes and denied: "Cousin, what's wrong? I just said this..."
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and smiled, staring at Cui Mingzhu with a hint of playful sarcasm in her eyes.
Her smile was like a silver needle, piercing Cui Mingzhu's heart.
Cui Mingzhu bit her lower lip and asked unwillingly, "Then tell me, where did I go wrong?"
Shen Ningyuan opened her red lips slightly and said lightly: "Your mistake is that you don't know your own identity."
The corners of Cui Mingzhu's eyes trembled slightly, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her gaze was fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
"Cousin, what did you say? Why can't I recognize my own identity?" Cui Mingzhu's voice trembled.
Shen Ningyuan restrained his expression, but his words were still light and airy.
"Whether I am a member of the Shen family or not is up to my parents and my eldest and second brothers to decide."
"Even my eldest sister-in-law, who has only been married into the Shen family for two years, has the right to point at my nose and say that I am not a member of the Shen family."
"But you, an orphan without a father or a mother, are fostered in the general's mansion because of your mother's marriage. You will never have the right to say that I am not a member of the Shen family!"
Shen Ningyuan smiled and emphasized what he had just said.
"That's why I said that your mistake was not recognizing your own identity."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan let go of his hand.
"ah!"
As the door opened, Cui Mingzhu felt a sharp pain in her fingers and let out another tearing scream.
