Shen Ruyi's pupils trembled slightly, and she interrupted him, "Second brother is right."
The second half of Shen Ci's sentence got stuck in his throat.
Can't go up or down.
In fact, he originally didn't believe that Shen Ruyi would push Shen Jiaojiao down the mountain, but the wound on Shen Jiaojiao's arm could not be faked, and Shen Ruyi's maid also admitted in person that it was Shen Ruyi who did it.
Now, she admitted it herself...
Shen Ci took a deep breath and couldn't help but persuade her, "Ruyi, no one is perfect. As long as you can mend your ways, I will plead with my father to not lock you up anymore..."
Shen Ruyi didn't want to listen to Shen Ci throwing dirty water on her anymore, so she turned around and interrupted him, asking, "Where is Shen Jiaojiao?"
Shen Ci was delighted and said as a matter of course: "In Jiaoyang Pavilion, you personally deliver the medicine to her, apologize to her, and persuade her to recognize her father, and this matter will be over."
"I thought she had left the Shen family and refused to enter this gate, so my father was furious and asked me to apologize and beg her to come back."
Shen Ruyi found it funny, "So, he lives in the best courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Jiaoyang Pavilion was built the year before last. When it was being built, my father said that the light there was good, the scenery was great, and it was sheltered from the wind.
After it is built, it will be a perfect time for her to move in.
Shen Ruyi still remembers what her father said, "Ruyi is in poor health and gets allergic to the wind in autumn and winter. After the place is built, let Ruyi live in it and call it Ruyi Pavilion."
But after it was built, Shen Ruyi didn't even step over the threshold.
Shen Jiaojiao is here.
The father was overjoyed and sent Shen Jiaojiao to Ruyi Pavilion.
The door plaque above was also taken down and replaced with Jiaoyang Pavilion.
Now, Shen Jiaojiao lives in it, but she is asked to beg Shen Jiaojiao to recognize her father and not leave this home.
As Shen Ruyi laughed, tears started to come out.
"It's because the Second Young Master is kindhearted that he took her into consideration! In my opinion, someone as selfish as her should be taught a lesson to make her remember her lesson!"
"Yes, she is not even worthy of carrying the shoes for the Second Young Lady!"
"If it was the Second Miss who had been in the mansion all these years, she would have long been the most noble lady in the capital, and I don't know how many times better she would be than her!"
“…”
All around you can hear the sound of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.
Shen Ci felt that it was inappropriate.
But then he thought he could take this opportunity to teach Shen Ruyi a lesson, so he said, "These idle talks were caused by your ignorance. You really need to learn your lesson and stop acting recklessly in the future."
When Shen Ruyi reforms himself, he will control these servants and stop them from gossiping.
But he didn't know that all this was caused by Shen Jiaojiao behind the scenes and had nothing to do with Shen Ruyi.
It’s a pity that in this huge Prime Minister’s Mansion, no one is willing to believe Shen Ruyi.
Even her own maid betrayed her and joined Shen Jiaojiao, giving false testimony for Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Ruyi felt depressed thinking about this, but she agreed with his words, "Second brother is right."
She really should learn her lesson. She shouldn't be obsessed with unnecessary people and shouldn't get entangled with people who are not worth it. It's not worth risking her life for someone who no longer cares about her.
Ignoring these people, Shen Ruyi went straight to Jiaoyang Pavilion.
As soon as I reached the gate, I heard Shen Jiaojiao crying.
"Prime Minister, please let the young lady out! It's so cold, she will get sick. It's all my fault. I offended the young lady. I shouldn't have come home. This way I wouldn't have caused unrest in the house!"
"Jiaojiao feels very guilty. After she recovers from her illness, she will immediately return to the countryside to live. She only hopes that the Prime Minister, his wife, the young masters, and the eldest lady can be reunited in harmony."
"In this way, Jiaojiao will be satisfied in this life."
Shen Ruyi stopped at the door and smiled.
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will definitely happen. When her father hears this, he will definitely be furious and take his anger out on her.
I still remember that when Shen Jiaojiao came home for the first time, she looked timid.
Obviously no one paid any attention to Shen Jiaojiao, but Shen Jiaojiao insisted on pestering her with a pear, pulling her aside and asking, "Miss, am I... am I worthy of having a pear?"
She didn't say anything, but her father was enraged by Shen Jiaojiao's humble appearance and scolded her for not knowing how to give in to her younger sister. He said that everything in the house would belong to Shen Jiaojiao from now on.
Just like that, she got a reputation for bullying Shen Jiaojiao.
This crime is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, everyone believed it: it was she who suppressed Shen Jiaojiao and could not tolerate Shen Jiaojiao, so Shen Jiaojiao lived cautiously.
But the conscience of heaven and earth.
At the beginning, she didn't take Jiaojiao seriously at all. As for the food, supplies, and toys in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if there were ten daughters, there would be enough for none of them.
But because of Shen Jiaojiao's "understanding", her family constantly misunderstood her, hated her, pushed her away, and put all their attention and care on Shen Jiaojiao.
After walking step by step to this day, she is tired.
I don't care anymore.
Shen Ruyi pushed the door open and walked in.
Sure enough, Shen Cangyun had already helped Shen Jiaojiao up and was holding her in his arms to coax her.
"Jiaojiao, please don't think like that! Even if I drive that rebellious girl out, Daddy will never drive you away!"
"You've suffered so much outside for so many years, Daddy feels so bad!"
"From now on, just live here peacefully and tell daddy if you need anything! She has no say in this family!"
As soon as Shen Cangyun finished speaking, he saw a thin figure standing at the door, who could be blown down by a gust of wind.
When he first saw how thin she was, he felt a little distressed.
Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Shen Jiaojiao.
"Master Prime Minister, please stop blaming the young lady. It's all Jiaojiao's fault. The young lady must be worried that I will take away your favor, so she is unhappy."
"Actually, I can understand her."
Shen Cangyun felt pain and anger when he heard this, "She treated you like that, and you still spoke well of her!"
"But she is my sister. Even though we didn't grow up together, we are from the same mother after all. We are still connected even if our bones are broken."
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Shen Ruyi, her eyes showing a trace of cowardice and flattery, wanting to get close but not daring to, "Miss, you don't have to apologize to me. I, I have already forgiven you."
Afterwards, Shen Jiaojiao looked up at Shen Cangyun, her eyes full of admiration and tears that were about to fall, "Prime Minister, can you also forgive the young lady?"
Before she could finish her words, Shen Jiaojiao's tears rolled down and were carefully hidden.
When Shen Cangyun saw her like this, his heart suddenly felt soft, warm and painful.
"You are such a sensible kid."
Shen Cangyun choked with a sigh, reached out and rubbed the top of Shen Jiaojiao's head, and looked at Shen Ruyi with a dark face.
"Look at Jiaojiao, then look at you! It was fine that you excluded Jiaojiao before, but this time you even dared to push her off the rockery!"
"I think I have to teach you a lesson! I can let you out of the woodshed, but at the family reunion banquet tomorrow, you have to publicly apologize to Jiaojiao and promise not to bully her again!"
To apologize publicly would be to destroy her reputation.
Tomorrow, the families of officials above the fifth rank in the court will be here. If Shen Ruyi apologizes and admits that she pushed Shen Jiaojiao off the rockery, she will be a real jealous woman. Who will dare to marry her in the future?
She has reached the age of marriage, and it is time for her to talk about marriage.
The rest of my life is ruined.
If this is a lesson, then the price she had to pay was too high.
This is her father.
Shen Ruyi looked at him for a long time before saying, "Okay."
It just so happens that tomorrow is their family reunion banquet, and it is also time for her to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and start a new life.
It’s good to have more people, it’s a good opportunity to serve as a witness.
