He didn't notice all this.

He made her kneel in a snowstorm, locked her in the woodshed without food, and threatened to throw her into the cellar.

These……

Is this really what a father should do?

Shen Cangyun's heart suddenly ached and he choked up, "Ruyi, Daddy shouldn't have locked you up. It's Daddy's fault. Don't blame Daddy. Daddy knows he was wrong."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Shen Ci, "Go quickly and get the medicine for Ruyi!"

His eyes turned red and tears fell.

But Shen Ruyi could no longer feel it.

"Just say what you want to say." She interrupted Shen Cangyun, her eyes were cold and her tone was indifferent, "I have something else to do."

Shen Cangyun choked, "Ruyi, why are you so estranged from Daddy?"

Shen Ruyi looked out the window and said nothing.

The relationship between them could no longer be explained by estrangement.

From now on, she has no father.

Shen Cangyun's pain was alleviated by her attitude. Seeing that she was not moved, he finally said straight to the point: "Ruyi, Daddy doesn't blame you for going to the Imperial Hospital today. It's your second brother who is ignorant. I'll ask him to apologize to you later."

"But you have to explain the matter between you and the Ninth Prince's Mansion to Daddy, got it?"

Thinking of Rong Yan, Shen Cangyun felt an indescribable uneasiness.

The Ninth Prince, on the surface, looks like an idle prince. Apart from the fact that the Emperor likes him, there is nothing special about him.

But this man is unfathomable.

In all his years in the court, he had never seen through the emperor's youngest son. He seldom showed up and spoke little, but every time he took action, he killed with one blow.

Even several people in the court who had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated were still chatting and laughing in the court a few days before the incident, but in the blink of an eye, they were thrown into jail and their entire families were implicated with just a few words from him.

He couldn't see through this person, nor could he figure out his background.

Not provoking is the ultimate safety line.

But now, this bottom line has been broken.

For Shen Jiaojiao, he and Shen Ruyi and his daughter fell out, and the Ninth Prince chose to stand on Shen Ruyi's side.

From another perspective, if he wants to be safe now, he has to completely deal with Shen Ruyi, and then let Shen Ruyi go to the Ninth Prince to plead for mercy, otherwise there is no other way out.

Shen Cangyun looked at his long-neglected daughter and showed a long-lost sincerity. "As long as you tell Daddy clearly, Daddy will agree to whatever you want... In a few days, the plum blossoms in the palace will bloom. Daddy will take you to see them, okay?"

This is something Shen Ruyi could not obtain in her previous life.

She cried and begged for several months, and finally Shen Cangyun brought Shen Jiaojiao into the palace and asked the emperor to give her the title of Princess Meilin.

When Shen Jiaojiao came home and showed off this to her, Shen Cangyun thought Shen Jiaojiao was adorable and completely forgot what he had promised her.

At that time, she lay in the snow, crying heart-wrenchingly.

But now, I don’t care and I don’t feel anything anymore.

"I have nothing to do with the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Shen Ruyi sneered in her heart and did not take his apology to heart.

She knew very clearly that if Rong Yan had not been involved at this time, Shen Cangyun would never wake up, let alone apologize to her.

What Shen Cangyun was afraid of was that if he made a wrong move, he would lose everything and all the wealth and glory he had worked so hard to build.

From this point of view, the father and son are truly of the same blood and are worthy of being biological children.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shen Ruyi's face.

Shen Cangyun choked suddenly, "Ruyi, don't be angry with daddy! Are you going to piss daddy off to death?"

Shen Ruyi was silent.

Shen Cangyun sighed and said, "Ruyi, please tell me what Rong Yan means to you."

"I don't know. It's probably meaningless."

Shen Ruyi didn't want to say much about Rong Yan.

She liked Rong Yan, but even if she wanted to tell him, she had to wait until she and Gu Qinghua broke off their engagement, otherwise she would only be cursed.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Shen Cangyun was furious. "It's meaningless. Why would he give you a warm jade? A hairpin? Do you know that this hairpin was given by the late emperor and is the only one of its kind?"

"Then father should ask him."

"you--"

Shen Cangyun asked for a long time but got nothing out of his question. The little bit of guilt that he had finally regained was washed away again. "Why did you become like this!"

Shen Ruyi said: "It's my father's teaching that's good."

“…”

Shen Cangyun almost vomited blood.

At this time, Shen Ci came in with frostbite ointment, put it on the table with a dark face, and said nothing.

"Hurry up and apologize to Ruyi! You took so many prescriptions from her and didn't even talk to her properly. Look how much trouble you've caused! If you could have done your duty as a brother a little bit, she wouldn't have gone to the Imperial Hospital out of anger!"

Shen Cangyun gave Shen Ci a look and said, "Look, Ruyi's hands are frozen like this, and you didn't even tell me when you went to the woodshed!"

Speaking of this, Shen Ci actually felt a little guilty.

So he said stiffly: "Ruyi, I didn't notice the measles and frostbite on your body before, it's my fault..."

Shen Ci said this, looking at Shen Ruyi, waiting for her forgiveness.

Shen Ruyi remained calm and said nothing.

Shen Ci had no choice but to say, "I took your prescription but didn't help you get the job done. It's also my fault. How about I apologize to you, second brother? If you're angry, you can scold second brother a few words or even hit him a few times."

"Now that we're done, let's stop being angry and go to the Imperial Hospital to have a good talk so that Doctor Qi can let me go, okay?"

"Then what?"

Shen Ruyi looked at the father and son, with sarcasm in her eyes, "Then, I committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, was sent to the clan house, and then was tortured and thrown into the Xinzheku or the laundry bureau."

His eyes fell on Shen Cangyun's face, "Father, is this the reason why you and my second brother apologize to me?"

"My second brother lost his position in the Imperial Hospital, and you feel greatly wronged. What about me?"

"Father is the Prime Minister. Has he been to the Imperial Clan House?"

"Have you seen the torture instruments in the Zongrenfu prison? When you were in and out of the palace, have you seen the life of the maids in the laundry department? Have you seen the dead bodies dragged out of the Xinzheku? How many ladies in the palace came out alive after being sent to the Xinzheku?"

Shen Ruyi said, returning the ointment on the table to Shen Ci, "Second brother, please don't worry about the two chilblains on my hands. The Ninth Prince has sent the medicine over. As for the laundry bureau and Xinzheku, whoever wants to go can go."

"And father, you'd better not think of asking me to lie to save your son. Don't forget that the Ninth Prince was present at the time."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Shen Ruyi turned around, her heart colder than the ice and snow outside.

She couldn't stay in this house anymore.

Whether it's a family reunion in the Prime Minister's Mansion or they all prosper and suffer together, in the end it's the reunion and glory of them, father and son, and Shen Jiaojiao.

And Shen Ruyi's final destination was Xinzheku and the laundry bureau.

An abandoned child, this is her real situation now.

"Stop right there!"

Just as Shen Ruyi stepped out of the door, Shen Cangyun called her!
