Looking into her sincere eyes at this moment, Ms. Su's pupils trembled slightly. She opened her mouth but found that she didn't know what to say.
In the end, she chose to turn around and go inside.
Shen Mingzhu did not react much to Ms. Su's action. Instead, she was filled with joy and chattered with Aunt Wu about the wonderful experience she had encountered during her trip.
Of course, she didn't tell anyone about the bad parts. After all, they had all been resolved, and telling Aunt Wu would only make her worry more.
The first wave of confrontation came to an end, and Shen Mingzhu stayed quietly in the room for a few days.
Except for eating and going downstairs, I basically never leave the room.
The other people in the Shen family seemed to treat her as if she didn't exist and just did what they were supposed to do.
The only thing that seemed to make Shen Mingzhu feel something was wrong was that she hadn't seen Shen Zejing for several days.
But on second thought, maybe the workaholic Shen Zejing was too busy with work recently to come back.
Since Chen Yuan has her parents by her side, he doesn't have to worry about whether Chen Yuan will have no one to take care of her while he is working.
Until one morning, Shen Mingzhu was awakened by a loud noise.
When she opened the door, she saw several people cleaning the corridor on the third floor.
"What are you doing?"
Routine cleaning is fine as long as there are no major flaws visible to the naked eye.
Today she actually saw this group of people fully armed with complete tools, and they looked as if they were going to use brushes to brush out all the dust in the cracks in the wall.
One of the servants heard the voice and turned around, and found Shen Mingzhu looking at them leisurely with her arms folded across her chest.
"Did we make too much noise and wake up the young lady? I'm really sorry, but Madam asked us to clean up every corner of the villa. We were afraid that we wouldn't have enough time in a day, so we had to start working in the morning."
Shen Mingzhu waved her hands, "It's okay, but why do you want to clean it up suddenly?"
The servant looked at Shen Mingzhu's confused expression and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? In a few days, the Madam will hold a birthday party for the two young ladies and invite many guests, so we need to clean the house thoroughly."
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, "I see, then you guys continue, I should get up by now."
"This servant is quite kind. It was clearly a birthday party for Chen Yuan, but he actually said it was for the two young ladies just to give me face."
"But it doesn't matter. I'm just a supporting role, how dare I be jealous?"
This inner voice made Shen Zejing, who had just stepped onto the stairs to the third floor, stop. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go upstairs.
Shen Mingzhu stretched and decided to go back to her room to play by herself. Just as she was about to close the door, she felt a resistance.
She turned around in confusion and found that the elusive Shen Zejing had stuck one foot in the crack of the door.
This scene frightened her so much that she let go of her hand and took a few steps back.
"Oh my god, is this a ghost? Or am I just dizzy from not sleeping well? When did he come up here?"
"I have something I want to talk to you about."
"oh."
"I'm just guessing that they're here to bring charges against me."
This inner voice directly blocked the words that Shen Zejing was about to say in his throat.
She is quite self-aware.
Shen Zejing cleared his throat, "Why have you only stayed in your room for so many days since you came back? Don't you know how to spend more time with your parents?"
Shen Mingzhu showed an I-knew-it look on her face, then she skillfully took out her cell phone, opened the chat history and played the voice message.
"Mingzhu, try not to come out of your room these days. Yuanyuan will easily think of some sad things when she sees you."
"I know this is difficult for you, but the doctor said that she is not in good health right now and cannot withstand too much stimulation for the time being."
Shen Zejing's eyes froze. Even though the two voice sentences were obviously from Ms. Su, he still grabbed Shen Mingzhu's phone in disbelief to confirm.
"When did mom tell you?"
If that was really the case, then why did my father call me over today with such a serious look on his face?
She complained to herself indirectly about Shen Mingzhu being arrogant these days and not talking to her family when she got home.
So what is the truth of this matter?
Looking at his eyebrows that were so furrowed that they could almost pinch a mosquito to death, Shen Mingzhu tapped the time displayed on her phone with her finger.
It happened to be the night when she had just returned home from outside and Chen Yuan pretended to faint.
Shen Zejing regained consciousness a little, and he looked at Shen Mingzhu steadily.
Suddenly I remembered the words I heard when I went upstairs just now, and decided to give it a try.
"I've ordered a new dress for you. I'll have someone bring it to you later to see if it fits you."
"Dress? Why do I need that? There shouldn't be any occasion that requires me to treat it so solemnly, right?"
"Could it really be the birthday party that the servant mentioned? But wasn't it for Shen Yuan?"
"What does Shen Yuan's birthday have to do with me?"
This time Shen Zejing seemed to understand that Shen Mingzhu really didn't know that the family was going to hold a birthday party.
But when my parents discussed it with me, they clearly wanted to apply for the certificates for Shen Yuan and Shen Mingzhu.
But the appointed time was almost up, and Shen Mingzhu had no idea about it at all.
So, from this we can be sure that perhaps things are not at all as my father said.
Shen Mingzhu, who had just returned home, was restricted to her room and no one was notified about holding a birthday party.
There is only one possibility, that the parents don't care about Shen Mingzhu's true feelings at all. All they want is a Shen Mingzhu who is obedient, sensible and doesn't make trouble.
Shen Zejing felt a chill all over his body when he realized this. Why did his parents become so strange?
I didn’t think there was a problem before, but now looking back, I see flaws everywhere and many doubts.
Shen Mingzhu's eyebrows twitched up and down, "No, are these two sentences so difficult to understand? Or did Shen Yuan feed him some kind of magic potion that lowers his intelligence? So processing this information is considered overloaded?"
Shen Mingzhu's thoughts at this moment gave him a general direction.
Following Shen Mingzhu's logic, all these anomalies seem to be explainable.
But he fell into even greater doubts, not to mention what means Shen Yuan used to make his parents become like this.
Just thinking about Shen Yuan's motive for doing this is simply impossible to imagine.
She is the true blood of the Shen family, and she has suffered for many years due to an accident. It is not difficult for her to get the favor of her family.
Why would she resort to other means to keep her parents and even herself under her control?
