Shen Yu walked forward quickly.

He wanted to tell Ruyi that he also wanted to go with her and didn't want to stay in the Shen family anymore. It was Shen Cangyun who destroyed everything in this family, and he was ashamed to have a father like Shen Cangyun.

However, when the person approached, he was stopped by Xiao Pingxin.

"Master Shen, Ruyi no longer has any relationship with the Shen family."

"In terms of name, she is now Rong Zhaoyang."

"In terms of relatives, she is my sister now."

"In terms of status, she is now an official appointed by the imperial court and holds the imperial seal. You are no longer qualified to address her by her name."

"It should be the Master of the Seal."

Their eyes met, and Xiao Pingxin stared at Shen Yu and refused to give in.

Shen Yu was shaking all over, and a piercing pain spread from his chest.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The sister he had watched grow up was now killed by the five brothers and Shen Cangyun.

Now, she has become someone else's daughter, someone else's sister, and others protect her as if they were their own eyes.

When Ruyi was in the Shen family before, she and her son never competed with others for her.

On the contrary, for Shen Jiaojiao, they always went against Ruyi, bullied her and trampled on her.

At this point, she was no longer someone he could touch.

Shen Yu lowered his eyes, "That's right, that's right."

He staggered and fell back.

Xiao Pingxin looked at the driver and said, "Go home."

The carriage continued to move forward and rolled past the Shen family's gate, leaving clear tracks on the snow.

Shen Yu watched the carriage go away and saw Ruyi glance over here.

But it was just a glance.

That glance was like an unintentional gust of wind, which disappeared in an instant.

She didn't even say a word to him.

It was as if she had never lived in the Shen family and had never been Shen Yu's sister.

"She let it go, but what about me?"

Shen Yu staggered back to his senses, a little overwhelmed, "Am I just going to rot here?"

Tears couldn't stop flowing out.

He wished he could kill Shen Cangyun.

But it can't, because someone has warned you.

Shen Cangyun can't die yet.

Although he couldn't figure out why.

Not until the carriage disappeared from sight did Shen Yu walk to the woodshed, taking deep steps and shallow steps, and threw the cold and hard steamed buns and medicine bags in his hands onto the ground.

"Eat it, this is what you deserve."

He stood at the door, looking down at Shen Cangyun who was tied up and struggling in the woodshed. The affection in his eyes had faded and his heart had grown cold.

"You shouldn't have given birth to us."

"You don't deserve it!"

Shen Yu uttered a few words, turned around, slammed the door, and locked it from the outside!

"Let me out! Let me out!"

Shen Cangyun was unconscious and struggled hard.

But what he said was frightening, "I asked you to lock up that bitch Shen Ruyi, why did you arrest me?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Lock her up, dampen her spirit, and let her know that without me, she is nothing!"

"A woman like her should be stepped on and made to beg for mercy, only then will she know what she is!"

Shen Yu: “…”

He stood in the snow and felt his bones stiffen.

As a son who grew up with his father, Shen Yu respected him, learned from him, was proud of him, and wanted to be the same person as his father.

He thought that what his father taught him was right.

He thought that being filial was always right.

But at this moment, it feels like something is totally wrong.

It is because of this foolish filial piety, this admiration, and this imitation that he has become a complete despicable person and has gone astray without knowing it.

At this moment, the heroic statue in his mind collapsed, revealing the face of a devil, and began to devour his soul.

Only then did he realize what kind of person he had been filial to, following, and admiring all these years.

But children cannot choose their parents.

He had no choice either.

"The road has come to this, what can I do?" He looked at the dilapidated mansion blankly, feeling cold all over.

All the servants of the Shen family have left.

Only he and Shen Cangyun were left.

Shen Cangyun is now hiding in the woodshed like a maggot, like something that cannot stand the light.

Once released, the Shen family will be doomed.

But one day, he will be released.

He even had a bad intuition: one day, Ruyi would personally return to the Shen family, confiscate the Shen family's property and exterminate the entire family, and send Shen Cangyun to the guillotine.

Let these brothers be doomed to eternal damnation!

…

"See you really let it go, I'm happy for you."

On the way, Xiao Pingxin looked at Ruyi and couldn't help but smile when he saw that she didn't seem to be affected by Shen Yu.

"It's time to let it go."

Ruyi smiled, "I won't get entangled with mud."

"Well, the road ahead is smooth."

Xiao Pingxin nodded.

As the sun rose, the two got out of the car at the gate of the Xiao family.

Ruyi was still thinking about what to say when she visited Minister Xiao and Madam Xiao later.

As soon as she came down, she saw Madam Xiao rushing out to greet her. She smiled at her and said, "Your father went to court early. He will be back soon. Let's go inside first. It's cold outside today."

Mrs. Xiao was barely forty years old, but because her family was well-off and her relationship with her husband was harmonious, her face was full of rosy red, and she exuded a mature charm that was unique to this age.

Gentle, generous, enthusiastic, charming, and with just the right degree of grace.

She is like a flower, waving in the cold wind.

Ruyi's eyes lit up, "My daughter greets my mother."

She stepped forward and saluted, and the slight bit of nervousness she had felt on the way disappeared.

But I can't help but think of my biological mother——

If her mother hadn't died, her life wouldn't have been so hard.

However, her biological mother's life was not as good as Madam Xiao's. She met a scumbag like Shen Cangyun. Not only was she kept in the dark, but even her family was implicated.

What a pity.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Mrs. Xiao saw that she was distracted for a moment, so she took her hand and comforted her with a smile: "It's normal for you to miss your mother. Women have to risk their lives to give birth to children."

"But if your mother knew about this, she would definitely hope that you would be safe and happy."

She smiled and patted Ruyi's hand, "After the family recognition banquet, let's pick a good day to worship your mother."

"Thank you, mother!"

Ruyi was deeply moved and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

She knew that the Xiao family had no relationship with her, but they were willing to treat her well now, firstly because they wanted to give the emperor face, and secondly because they were really nice people.

She should be grateful.

Even though so many people want her to move forward, she has to say goodbye to the past and head straight for the future.

Ruyi took a deep breath and smiled at Madam Xiao, saying, "Ruyi has been without a mother since she was a child, so there are many things she doesn't understand. I hope mother will take the trouble to teach her in the future."

"Why are you so reserved, kid?"

Madam Xiao liked her very much and said with a smile: "I tell you, I have wanted a daughter the most for so many years. Now my wish has come true. From now on, you and I will be mother and daughter."

"Don't be so distant with your mother."
