His hands were cold and covered with tiny wounds that were new and had not yet scabbed over.

Looking at his face again, the once unruly young man had become extremely haggard, with dirty clothes, messy hair, and wounds of varying sizes on his body. He looked like a homeless person.

This time, his eyes were full of regret. He stared at Shen Ruyi with trembling eyes, humble attitude and full of pleading.

Shen Ruyi's heart trembled.

There was a moment of bitterness in my heart.

If those things in the previous life had not happened, Shen Ruyi might have forgiven him.

However, it has only been about twenty days since she was reborn, and the tragic death in her previous life seemed to have just happened not long ago. How could she forgive it?

She could not forget the cruel day when Shen Luo dumped her body into the cold pond.

He dragged her by her hair and peeled off her scalp. There was no trace of affection in his eyes. He threw her off the cliff as if he was dragging a disgusting wild dog corpse.

She also couldn't forget how he had shouted in her ear at the family reunion banquet a few days ago: "Speak! I told you to apologize, are you deaf?!"

She is not deaf and she does not have amnesia.

So, she would not forgive him.

Shen Ruyi took a deep breath, pulled her hand out of his cold palm, and smiled.

"Why is Mr. Shen San bothering you?"

Her voice could be described as gentle, but she sounded like a stranger.

Gentleness at its extreme becomes ruthlessness.

Shen Luo stared at her blankly and heard her say, "I don't care about those things anymore. If you are willing to believe Shen Jiaojiao, then believe it."

"Now that I have moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will no longer be an eyesore to anyone. You don't need to apologize to me. I don't need it."

She said, standing up and leaning back against the bed.

A little further away from him.

Shen Luo looked at his empty palms, then at the faint smile on her face, and was stunned.

Is she unwilling to forgive him?

She doesn't need it anymore, but he...

A feeling of panic suddenly struck his heart, and Shen Luo was really a little panicked.

"Ruyi, I really know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance, please? Even if it's just once, I promise I won't do the same thing again. I will go to Guangwen Hall tomorrow and tell those people that I was talking nonsense before and that I misunderstood you!"

Shen Luo's heart sank. He hurriedly went forward and lay beside the bed, his eyes anxious, "Ruyi, I killed Shen Jiaojiao to avenge you!"

Like a drowning person, desperately grasping at a life-saving straw.

Shen Ruyi felt sorry for him.

At that time, Shen Luo had a fight with someone in Guangwenguan and got his skin scraped off. She was so heartbroken that she didn't attend the rest of the classes and ran to buy medicine for him.

But that was in the past.

What’s past should be left in the past.

"……unnecessary."

Shen Ruyi took a deep breath and slowly put aside the memories of the past, but her mood was still very complicated.

Only twenty days had passed since she had tried her best to please them in her previous life and wanted to return to them.

In her body, there was still the heartache of being hurt and the attachment to them.

When she heard Shen Luo's words at this time, she still felt some pain rising from the bottom of her heart.

But reason told her that she couldn't turn back.

"Fang Fei, send the Third Young Master out and don't disturb my rest."

She took a last look at Shen Luo, turned, faced the wall and closed her eyes.

It was clearly only less than a meter apart.

But Shen Luo felt as if his sister had left him forever, and even if he tried his best, she would never look back.

He knelt on the cold ground, his whole body frozen.

"Please come in, Third Young Master."

Fang Fei looked at Shen Luo with a complicated look in her eyes, "My young lady's old injury has not healed yet, she needs to rest."

Shen Luo's legs felt like they were filled with lead. He could neither get up nor walk.

He was afraid that if he left, he would really lose her.

At this moment, he realized what these sixteen years meant to him. Shen Ruyi had called him brother for sixteen years. Every time she called him brother, it now emerged clearly in his mind, tugging at his heart and making him regretful and heartbroken.

But, it's too late to reverse what has happened.

Tears welled up in his eyes and his voice trembled, "Ruyi, if you don't want to see me, then don't see me."

for a long time.

Shen Luocai choked up and climbed up, "I will persuade my father and eldest brother to take you home. If they don't want to, I will stay outside with you and keep watch over you forever."

"Need not."

Shen Ruyi refused.

She felt a little irritated. "I think Mr. Shen San didn't understand what I said. I don't want to have anything to do with your Shen family, and I don't want to see you again. Do you understand what I mean?"

If Shen Jiaojiao had not been driven away, the Shen family would have been doomed sooner or later.

But the father and son of the Shen family are both biased and treat Shen Jiaojiao as a treasure. If she really cannot sever ties with the Shen family, when the Shen family dies, they will drag her into hell with them.

She doesn't want to be buried with him!

Shen Ruyi turned her head and looked at him, a little angry, "If you really want to do this for my own good, then don't bother me anymore, thank you."

Shen Luo stood at the door, feeling as if he was pierced by thousands of arrows.

Shen Ruyi really didn't want him as a brother anymore. He actually saw emotions of annoyance and disgust in her eyes!

This has never happened before!

His heart seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden. He stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do and how to win her back.

Fangfei got tired of waiting and had to push him out.

"Third Master, my girl is injured and needs to rest. Please stop bothering her. Isn't this the result you want?"

"Before, you were making up stories about my young lady and forcing her to apologize to the second young lady. Didn't you just want to ruin her reputation and drive her out? Now that the young lady is out, you should be happy."

Fang Fei had tears in her eyes. After she pushed Shen Luo out, she closed the door and said, "Please don't come here again, Third Young Master."

Shen Luo staggered out of the door, trying to explain, "It's not like that, I didn't think that way..."

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

Fang Fei interrupted him, "Miss Shen is fine, you guys go take care of her, don't waste your time on my young lady, I can take care of my young lady myself."

“…”

Shen Luo felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.

Go take care of Shen Jiaojiao?

Shen Jiaojiao is a fake, why should she be taken care of?

Sooner or later he would find a chance to kill her!

Fangfei turned around and closed the door.

There was a sound of a lock being locked from inside, and Shen Luo was isolated outside the door. He felt a gust of cold wind that chilled even his bones.

After a long while, he finally found his voice and said in a trembling voice: "Ruyi, actually... you know Shen Jiaojiao is fake, right?"

"I know that, too."

Tears rolled down his cheeks, causing a stinging sensation in the cold wind, and his heart was filled with guilt and regret.

"I told my father and eldest brother, but they didn't believe me... You're right, maybe the Prime Minister's Mansion is really not worth staying in."

Having said this, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

It’s not that Shen Ruyi is not good enough.

The Prime Minister’s Mansion is not worthy of this.
