The housekeeper was startled for a moment, but quickly recovered, "I can't hide it from you."
The old lady waved her hand, "Forget it, Xiao Ci doesn't want me to worry about it, I can pretend I don't know, I believe he will handle it."
The housekeeper nodded. Ji Ci was taught by the old lady herself. If anyone was to talk about understanding, perhaps only the old lady knew best.
As the sky gets darker, lights replace sunlight to provide lighting.
Shen Mingzhu had just returned to the door of the Shen family. The lights inside were brightly on, but it seemed that none of them were on for her.
She walked in silently, and Shen Zejing looked up at her from the financial report.
"Where have you been? You didn't come back so late and didn't even send a message. Is this what the Shen family's tutor taught you?"
"Don't worry, I didn't go out fooling around and ruin the Shen family's reputation. Besides, it's only seven o'clock now, and it's not beyond the time stipulated in the Shen family's rules."
Shen Zejing frowned, something was wrong with Shen Mingzhu's condition today.
Her answer was cold and mocking.
It was as if an impenetrable wall was erected between him and her, strange and distant.
This feeling made Shen Zejing feel uncomfortable, and he stared straight into Shen Mingzhu's eyes.
There was a hint of repression and grievance in her tired eyes?
Could it be that he had neglected her during this period because of Shen Yuan's matter, so she acted like this?
In this matter of Shen Yuan, he seemed to be somewhat unfair.
Thinking of this, Shen Zejing's voice softened a bit, "Brother doesn't mean to blame you, it's just that you've been out for so long and there's no news, we're worried."
"Are you worried about my safety, or are you worried that I might do something to damage the Shen family's reputation?"
Her words were like a thorn that pierced Shen Zejing's heart.
This time, he truly felt Shen Mingzhu's coldness as if she was keeping him at a distance.
"Why don't you worry about your precious sister Shen Yuan? That lunatic Ji Yuan tricked me into going to the Ji family and locked me up for more than four hours. It's hard to say that Shen Yuan didn't do it."
impossible!
When Shen Zejing heard this, he didn't believe it at first.
But he had no way of asking for the details of the matter.
Shen Mingzhu was really tired, and she was too lazy to continue arguing with Shen Zejing.
In fact, when she heard Shen Zejing say that he was worried, she did think about complaining to him.
But the words of rebuttal that came out of her mouth were like thorns, not only piercing Ze Jing, but also hurting herself.
On second thought, maybe if she told it, Shen Zejing wouldn't believe her, so why should she waste her breath explaining?
It doesn't make sense.
"Hasn't the Shen family taken back all their love for me? As for the kindness they showed me over the years, it should have been completely wasted by Chen Yuan's repeated frame-ups and the Shen family's repeated distrust."
"If they still think it's not enough, then I can leave the Shen family and slowly make up for the money I spent. Wouldn't that make us even?"
"Becoming the eldest daughter of the Shen family was never what I wanted, and my life being swapped was not my fault. What did I do wrong?"
Long after Shen Mingzhu left, Shen Zejing still stood there without moving.
He came back to his senses only when his cell phone beeped.
It’s Ji Ci.
When he opened the chat interface, it was Ji Ci who asked him if Shen Mingzhu had arrived home.
Why did Ji Ci ask this? What happened to them today?
After Shen Zejing replied to the message, he fell into deep thought again.
Really? Is what Shen Mingzhu said true?
He suddenly began to think, why did he think it was impossible when he first heard Shen Mingzhu's voice?
They deny things without even thinking about their rationality.
Shen Mingzhu didn't know that he could hear her inner voice, so it was impossible for her to lie to him in her inner voice.
Why on earth do I have such a strange reaction?
After all, Shen Mingzhu grew up under my care.
She is very clear about her own style of doing things.
But it seemed that after returning from Shen Yuan, he never listened to Shen Mingzhu's explanation seriously again.
Whenever Shen Yuan felt wronged, he thought that Shen Mingzhu was bullying her.
Thinking back carefully, Shen Mingzhu actually tried to throw a tantrum at the beginning to make everyone listen to her, but the whole family's attention was on Shen Yuan.
No one wanted to listen to her explanation, and as time went on, she seemed to become more and more silent.
Just as indifferent as today, he was clearly feeling aggrieved but didn't say a word.
Even when she opens her mouth she speaks harsh words. Isn't that a way of protecting herself?
If there was someone willing to listen to her explanation and stand up for her, why would she use this method to protect herself?
Shen Zejing found that he seemed to be extremely wrong.
Shen Yuan, whom he had believed in all this time, was not as good as he thought.
On the contrary, Shen Mingzhu, who had always known them well, was rejected and pushed away by them again and again.
He could feel the gap between him and Shen Mingzhu, which was actually created by himself.
His self-proclaimed fairness was undoubtedly a spiritual bullying of Shen Mingzhu.
He used to truly love his sister, why did it end up like this today?
Then, did his promise to love her forever become a sharp blade that hurt her?
The exchanged lives were not something that a newborn baby could control.
Then the resentment of everyone in the Shen family towards her is actually unreasonable.
The Shen family's pampering of her over the years actually turned into a sharp blade that backfired on her when Shen Yuan returned.
The more favored you were in the past, the more miserable you are now.
Does she want to leave now because she has accumulated enough disappointment?
Shen Mingzhu came out of the shower and found that Ji Ci had sent her a message.
"Everything that happened today was planned by Ji Yuan. It has nothing to do with grandma. Grandma really likes you, and it's true that she wants to see you."
Shen Mingzhu recalled the loving look that Old Madam Ji gave her. Indeed, she really liked her.
Shen Mingzhu will return the love to those who truly love her.
"Please ask Mr. Ji to ask the old lady if she is free tomorrow. I want to visit her."
Ji Ci replied quickly, "Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, she will be free after waking up from her nap."
Shen Mingzhu replied with an OK and put down her phone.
Tomorrow's schedule is probably to go see Xiaoxiao in the morning, visit the old lady in the afternoon and then go back to school.
As for Chen Yuan and Ji Yuan, they still have a long way to go.
Shen Mingzhu has never been a person who repays evil with kindness, but the current situation is not suitable.
At least she won't act rashly when she is not in an advantageous position.
Small fights are of no consequence; what she wants is a decisive blow.
Of course, they would not tolerate every provocation from Shen Mingzhu. They had better pray that Shen Mingzhu would not have the opportunity to gain the upper hand.
Jiang Xiaoxiao still didn't see Shen Mingzhu today, and Shen Mingzhu was not in a hurry. She put down her gift and left.
Old Madam Ji received news from Ji Ci in the morning that Shen Mingzhu would come to visit.
Just ask someone to prepare some desserts that young people like.
This time when Shen Mingzhu came to the Ji family, the housekeeper personally led the way.
"Mingzhu is here?" Old Madam Ji raised her head from the book with a gentle smile on her face.
