In the past, when Shen Luo saw her like this, he always thought she was really innocent and simple, but today he inexplicably felt a sense of mockery from her innocent eyes——
She knew everything, but she was just secretly happy.
Shen Jiaojiao came to Shen Luo's side and reached out to help him up, "Third brother, let me help you go into the house. It would be bad if you get frozen."
Shen Luo didn't react at first, because it was hard for him to imagine how such a person could show such a smug smile from a perspective that they couldn't see after Shen Ruyi's death.
He saw her smile throughout the whole picture.
It was directed at the kidnappers, and they secretly slapped back, which was obviously a collusion.
Shen Luo's eyes trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he asked Shen Jiaojiao: "Shen Jiaojiao, since you were taken away by mistake, your adoptive mother had no conscience when she took you away. Now that more than ten years have passed, she wants to send you back?"
"Didn't you treat her as your own mother for so many years? Why haven't I heard you mention her? Don't you have any feelings for her at all? Or is she a liar and you are also a little liar, and you just hit it off? Use her and throw her away?"
These words were extremely sharp, and indeed made Shen Jiaojiao's heart tremble.
But soon, she realized that there was no problem with the blood test, and she was still Shen Cangyun's biological daughter, so she said aggrievedly: "Third brother, what are you talking about? Jiaojiao doesn't understand."
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "I do have feelings for my adoptive mother. She sent me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion because she loved me! I had a stomach disease and she had no choice but to send me here because it couldn't be cured..."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to apologize, "Third brother, if Jiaojiao did anything that displeased you, you can just teach me a lesson. There is really no need to say such hurtful words. Jiaojiao knows that she comes from a humble background and is not worthy of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
“…”
Looking at her like this, Shen Luo wanted to pounce on her and strangle her to death.
He sneered and said, "So, I have wronged you? Then let me ask you, how did you fall into the lake last time at Guangwen Hall?"
At that time, Song Mingyang, the princess of Changning Marquis's Mansion, said that Shen Jiaojiao fell because she insisted on picking the orchid by the lake.
He also thought that Song Mingyang was covering up for Shen Ruyi, saying that Shen Ruyi was born with a bad heart and always bullied Shen Jiaojiao and refused to admit it, and asked Song Mingyang to stay away from Shen Ruyi. Song Mingyang was so angry that he turned against him and said that he was blind.
At that time, he thought it was Shen Ruyi who instigated Song Mingyang.
Now it seems that he was indeed blind.
Shen Jiaojiao felt guilty when he looked at her, and could only cry to cover it up, sobbing: "Third brother, I accidentally fell down that day, I told you at that time..."
“…”
Shen Luo was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At that time, Shen Jiaojiao kept saying, "Don't blame me, it was my own carelessness." But the way she looked at Shen Ruyi with fear and cautiousness, it was obvious that she was afraid of being bullied by Shen Ruyi...
He had to admit that Shen Jiaojiao had taught him a lesson.
It is weak and pitiful, but it is also a vicious weapon that can cause fatal injuries.
After Shen Jiaojiao came to the Shen family, she used this trick to cause the entire Prime Minister's Mansion to fall apart in the end, all because of her pity.
He now knew all of this as clearly as a mirror in his heart, but he had no way of convincing anyone. He could only be strangled by other members of the Shen family just like Shen Ruyi who told the truth in his previous life.
Before this thought came to an end, Shen Cangyun walked out from the door and said with a dark face: "Shen Luo, if you dare to do this to Jiaojiao again, I will not have a son like you!"
Shen Cangyun said this and glanced towards Xifeng Courtyard.
He really didn't expect that Shen Ruyi actually had this trick.
Looking at him like this, Shen Luo felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
Because when he came out of Xifeng Courtyard, he told Shen Ruyi that he would seek justice for her, but when he came to Shen Cangyun, he found that not only could his actions not bring him justice, but they also invisibly threw dirty water on Shen Ruyi.
So, I had to say, "I am responsible for my own actions, and there is no need for father to throw dirty water on others again and again!"
"Rebellious son, you still dare to quibble?"
Shen Cangyun was so angry that he was shaking. "You've never been like this before! Ever since she gave Jiaojiao that broken hairpin you gave her last time, you've seen Jiaojiao's nose as not a nose and her eyes as not eyes!"
"You think I can't see that?"
Shen Luo: “…”
On that occasion, Shen Ruyi's behavior made him feel abandoned, alienated, humiliated, and that a clear line of demarcation was being drawn between him and Shen Ruyi, so he did have some reflections.
But today's incident has nothing to do with the hairpin.
But Shen Cangyun still said so.
At this time, Shen Jiaojiao took out her best skills and knelt down to beg Shen Cangyun, "Father, it's all Jiaojiao's fault. Please don't say that about my third brother anymore. That hairpin was made by my third brother for me. There is also a special amulet for me in it. Jiaojiao really shouldn't have wanted that hairpin..."
Then, Songhua, who came in with her, said timidly, "Master, the hairpin has actually been plucked out of the second young lady's head by the Third Young Master, and he also plucked out a piece of her scalp. It was bloody and scary."
"I wanted to ask the master to invite a doctor to take a look, but the Second Miss wouldn't let me. She said that a harmonious family is the key to success. As long as the Third Young Master calms down, that would be better than anything else!"
“Jiaojiao!”
Shen Cangyun looked at Shen Jiaojiao kneeling on the ground, and felt distressed. He hurriedly helped her up. When he saw the top of her head pressed down by her hair and the scabs, he kicked Shen Luo in anger, "As a brother, how dare you treat your sister like this?"
Shen Luo was kicked on the knee and convulsed in pain. He curled up on the ground, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He just looked up and looked at his father.
In the twilight, Shen Cangyun's face was ferocious, as if Shen Jiaojiao was the only one in his heart, and anyone who stood on Shen Ruyi's side was wrong.
Why?
He doesn't understand.
"Dad, even if Ruyi is the daughter of a midwife, she has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years. Don't you have any affection for her? Shen Jiaojiao was raised by a midwife, and the midwife tried her best to protect her. She risked being beheaded for coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion and sent her back just to cure her stomach disease."
"Don't you have any feelings for Ruyi at all? Are you less kind to her than a midwife is to Shen Jiaojiao?"
Staring at Shen Cangyun, Shen Luo's pupils were trembling.
Shen Cangyun's heart trembled slightly, but the heartache at that moment was quickly swallowed up by anger. "If it weren't for her, Jiaojiao wouldn't have to suffer such an injustice! If it weren't for her and her vicious mother switching Jiaojiao, how could Jiaojiao have stomach problems? I didn't settle accounts with them, which was very merciful!"
Shen Luo sneered when he heard this, "You didn't settle the score because of the Ninth Prince, right? Or is it because Ruyi is now a Ziwei lucky star, so you don't even dare to tell her that she is not your biological daughter?"
