Now, the best choice is the Ninth Prince.

However, the Ninth Prince had been thoroughly offended by them, and he had no intention of winning over the Prime Minister's Mansion at all. He just kept his eyes on Shen Ruyi.

Shen Cangyun's pupils trembled as he thought about this. He no longer cared about getting entangled with the Gu family. He stared at Minister Gu and said, "If that's the case, from now on, our two families will have no contact with each other."

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Yu and said, "Let's go!"

Then, the father and son staggered out of the door.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little uneasy, so she walked very slowly, because the development of things today was completely beyond her expectations. Not only did it destroy everything that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Gu family had run, but it also destroyed her.

If she hadn't gone to that beggar at the end, she could have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and still been the same as before.

But what about now?

She's not sure.

Shen Cangyun was furious when he saw her slow pace, "What are you still standing there for? It's embarrassing!"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned by the yelling, and tears immediately fell, "Daddy..."

She called Shen Cangyun and burst into tears.

Shen Cangyun was filled with anger. He glared at her fiercely, went out and got on the carriage, and said solemnly, "Come up, I have something to ask you!"

Shen Jiaojiao was a little worried, but when she thought about how angry Shen Cangyun was today and still blocked Rong Yan's attack for her, she relaxed a little, climbed onto the carriage, rolled her eyes, and began to apply eye drops to Shen Ruyi.

"Daddy, your wound hurts, doesn't it? It's all because of your daughter's inability that people bullied you..."

“…”

Shen Cangyun looked at her crying and felt suffocated. "Wear more clothes next time. It's embarrassing to make you look like someone who is going to be sold!"

He never thought there was anything wrong with what Shen Jiaojiao wore before.

But it’s so embarrassing to be laughed at today.

Shen Cangyun realized that Shen Jiaojiao exuded a charm, as if she was born to seduce men. Although she was crying, her crying was different from others.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Shen Ruyi again, "You become like whoever you follow! Those who know you would think that the one who raised you was a midwife, while those who don't would think that she was a prostitute!"

Shen Jiaojiao: “…”

The person who raised her was indeed a prostitute.

Tears welled up in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes, and this time they were sincere. She looked up at Shen Cangyun and said, "My daughter knows she was wrong. From now on, I will study hard and learn to be a good person again, and I will never embarrass my father again..."

She lowered her head and began to tremble with tears.

Shen Cangyun finally softened his heart and asked her, "You said today that Shen Ruyi was with that beggar that day. What's the matter? Who taught you to say that?"

If that beggar hadn't shown up, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out so badly.

Shen Cangyun felt unwilling.

After such a long time of preparation, Shen Jiaojiao had already thought of an excuse. Hearing this, she choked up and said, "No one taught me to say this. I really saw it. That day, when I came in, Gu Qinghua dragged me away. I was scared and wanted to escape, so I rushed to open the window at the back. I didn't expect to see my sister with that beggar..."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. "I told this to my father out of fear that this would be exposed and would implicate him, but I didn't expect that this would bring disaster to my father instead..."

As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Shen Cangyun and kowtowed, "My daughter knows she was wrong. After returning, she will lock herself up in the cellar and reflect on her mistakes."

Shen Cangyun was irritated by her words, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to lock you up in the cellar?"

He was very angry.

But seeing Shen Jiaojiao like this, he still felt sad.

When he was about to lock Shen Ruyi in the cellar, Shen Ruyi became aggressive and confronted him. How fierce was she?

When faced with the same thing, his daughter Shen Jiaojiao could only be so humble and go to solitary confinement like a slave.

What kind of life had she lived before!

Seeing that this trick worked, Shen Jiaojiao stammered aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, father. Jiaojiao made you angry again. Jiaojiao didn't mean to make you angry, it's, it's because..."

At this point, she began to tremble all over and burst into tears, "It's because, before, if Jiaojiao did something that didn't meet my adoptive mother's expectations, she would put me in solitary confinement in the cellar. If I was late, she would hang me up and beat me..."

Then, his body curled up into a pitiful ball.

Shen Cangyun felt his heart aching as he heard this. "One day, sooner or later, I will kill that bitch's daughter and avenge you!"

"No! Pay it back a thousand fold!"

When Shen Cangyun thought about how his own daughter had been abused by the midwife over the years and turned into the timid and cowardly person she is today, while the midwife's daughter, Shen Ruyi, had enjoyed wealth and glory in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, but in the end she repaid his kindness with enmity and destroyed everything he had carefully laid out, he hated her to death.

I wish I could skin Shen Ruyi alive and grind her into ashes!

Shen Jiaojiao looked at him and smiled.

But her face was still covered with tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Dad, please stop the carriage for a while, Jiaojiao will go down and get a doctor for you. You and big brother are both injured. If you continue like this, you will die."

"Jiaojiao finally found daddy and brothers, I don't want to lose you."

Shen Cangyun couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this, "Dad didn't protect you in vain."

As he spoke, he asked someone to stop the carriage and said, "Go ahead and ask Imperial Doctor Yan to come over and bring Mother Yuan with you. Be careful on the road."

He didn't want too many people to know that he was injured.

As he said that, he got out of the car and got into Shen Yu's car. Then he asked Mother Yuan to drive Shen Jiaojiao to see Doctor Yan.

Afterwards, the two groups separated.

Turning the corner, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly asked Mother Yuan, "Mother Yuan, did you see that beggar?"

The beggar was eventually thrown out by the Gu family, and she never saw him again.

"Dead."

Madam Yuan felt a chill all over her body. "When I saw him, he was in a sack with only half of his head exposed. The blood in the sack kept flowing out. I was so scared that I couldn't walk. That's why I took so long to come and see the young lady."

Then, he asked Shen Jiaojiao, "Second Miss, what happened in the Gu family? The master and the eldest son both look very unhappy..."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes turned and she said, "It was my sister who broke the engagement at the birthday banquet, which pissed off the old lady of the Gu family to death. She also instigated the Ninth Prince to attack my father and eldest brother, so they were all seriously injured."

Mother Yuan felt cold all over after hearing this. "You mean to say that not only did we fail to destroy the eldest lady today, but we also let her turn the tables and ruin everything that the master had carefully laid out?"

"What shall I do?"

Servants and masters all rise and fall together, and the decline of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a good thing for them.

Seeing that Yuan's mother began to worry about her future, Shen Jiaojiao found an opportunity, threw out an olive branch, and said with tears in her eyes: "So, I must find a new way out for Dad, but it is not enough to rely on myself, I also need your help."

As she spoke, she took Mother Yuan's hand, and used the same trick she had used to persuade Mother Yuan to help her make trouble in the water during the blood test, and called out "Mom".

Then he asked her, "Auntie, are you willing?"
