"Why, you're trying to get away with it by not apologizing sincerely, right?"

Shen Luo's evil voice sounded in his ears.

Shen Ci looked at Shen Ruyi and felt a little distressed.

But if you do something wrong, you have to bear the corresponding consequences, so he urged and encouraged: "Ruyi, since you have come to terms with it, apologize to Jiaojiao. We will all be a family from now on."

No one explained for Shen Ruyi.

Even her father stood by and watched.

This was a hunt targeting her alone.

She had experienced this once in her previous life, and the final outcome was that she was locked back in the woodshed and was not released until she was almost dying.

This time, she won't make the same mistake again.

Amidst the oppressive noise, Shen Ruyi spoke.

"I'm sorry, sister. These past few days, I've felt my heart broken whenever I think of that day in the woodshed."

At this point, she sighed helplessly, "It's just that Daddy has already said that I have no say in this family. Next time, don't ask me about things that we have already decided, and don't go to a dangerous place like the rockery."

"But no matter what, this time it's all my fault. I hope you can be more tolerant and not hold it against me."

She spoke earnestly and with great sorrow.

“…”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Shen Ruyi's words are full of information. Why would she go to the rockery in such a cold day? Since Shen Jiaojiao was not in good health, why did she have to brave the wind and snow to run to the rockery to find her?"

"It's really strange. Isn't Shen Jiaojiao afraid of her? Why would she go to a place like that to look for her alone?"

Considering the previous news, it is not difficult to guess:

Shen Ruyi was so sad and upset that the Prime Minister and the five young masters of the Shen family decided to let Shen Jiaojiao marry into the family without consulting her. She ran to the rockery, cried, made a fuss, and even tried to hang herself.

Shen Jiaojiao could obviously have gone home safely, but she still went to show off to her... Wasn't that like stabbing her in the heart?

So whether she fell down by herself or was pushed down, wasn't it all her own fault?

All the people present, both men and women, came from wealthy families.

Who doesn’t know about the dirty things going on in the deep mansion?

For a moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Ruyi became very subtle.

Suddenly, someone asked Shen Luo, "Mr. Shen San, it was you who said that Shen Ruyi pushed Shen Jiaojiao off the rockery that day, right? Did you see the specific situation?"

"I--"

Shen Luo was choked for a moment.

Before he could even think of what to say, someone immediately exposed his mistake, "How could he have seen it? He was with me that day, and we were both attending classes at Guangwen Hall!"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, are there no witnesses to this matter?" Imperial Concubine Yinghe, who was sitting on the upper throne, spoke.

Shen Cangyun was also stunned when he heard this, "It was Jiaojiao who said..."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect things to turn out like this. When she saw Shen Cangyun looking at her with a hint of suspicion, her heart tightened and she started crying on the spot.

"Dad, even though it was snowing heavily that day and few people were around, my sister's maid Cuiyu saw it!"

But because she was afraid that Cuiyu would come over and give her away because she couldn't bear the pressure, Shen Jiaojiao chose to change her words immediately, "But no matter what, I don't blame my sister anymore, let her get away with it."

"I just want to get along well with my sister and not cause any unrest at home."

Seeing her crying, Shen Cangyun's suspicion was washed away. He rolled his eyes at Shen Ruyi and said, "Rebellious girl! You pushed me, and you still dare to be so sarcastic here!"

Shen Luo was embarrassed just now, and he became even more aggressive after hearing this: "Shen Ruyi, I knew you were evil-minded, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!"

"Who are you apologizing to? People who don't know you might think you're seeking justice! If you can't show your sincerity today, I'll kick you out of this house!"

"Ruyi, you really disappoint me." Shen Ci also frowned, "You clearly promised me that you would talk nicely after you come over..."

Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that as long as she acted pitiful, her father and brothers would stand on her side.

Their guilt is always the most useful weapon.

As long as she uses this weapon well, Shen Ruyi will not win.

Shen Ruyi stared at them quietly until she finished speaking, then looked at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Dad and the second and third brothers are right, but what they say does seem insincere."

Shen Ruyi reached out and took off the longevity lock from her neck. "To express my sincerity, I will give this longevity lock to my sister, so that she can live a long life."

Then, she took off the warm jade on her wrist and the hairpin on her head and handed them to Shen Jiaojiao.

"And these, I'm giving them to my sister as well. I hope she won't be mad at me anymore."

Before he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

"Why did Shen Ruyi take out such an important thing?"

"If I remember correctly, these three things were given to Shen Ruyi by the Prime Minister and the Second and Third Young Masters Shen at her coming-of-age ceremony last year, right?"

"Now the sincerity is there, but I don't know if Shen Jiaojiao can accept it."

Shen Jiaojiao was also stunned. She thought Shen Ruyi would cry and make a fuss, thus confirming her crime of excluding and oppressing her.

But she didn't expect that Shen Ruyi would not play by the rules and instead gave her such a valuable thing.

She wanted the gift.

But looking at the thing lying in Shen Ruyi's palm, it felt a little hot.

She couldn't help but glance at Shen Cangyun, Shen Ci and Shen Luo.

Shen Cangyun's angry expression turned serious at this moment.

Shen Ci's brows were furrowed and his eyes were gloomy.

Shen Luo was already furious, staring at Shen Ruyi's expression with a look of anger, gritting his teeth, "Shen, Ru, Yi!"

How could she give away the hairpin that she had spent day and night making for her?

Shen Ci also said: "Ruyi, this is not..."

Shen Ruyi interrupted Shen Ci and said slowly, "Speaking of which, these three things were given to me by my father, second brother and third brother at my coming-of-age ceremony. I am giving them to my sister today as an apology. You won't be reluctant to give them up, right?"

Her eyes swept across the faces of the three people one by one.

Anyway, these three things were taken back by them in the previous life and given to Shen Jiaojiao.

Since it is something you can't keep, it's better to throw it away as soon as possible.

So as not to dirty your hands.

Everyone: “…”

This time, it’s going to be a good show.

Shen Jiaojiao subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Shen Cangyun.

Shen Cangyun's face was wrinkled like a rag, making him look even more majestic.

Look at Shen Ci again.

Shen Ci's words were choked in his throat, and his face looked bitter.

As for Shen Luo, he wanted to swallow Shen Ruyi in one gulp, "Why should I be reluctant to give it up? If I had known this day would come, I would have fed the hairpin to the dog instead of giving it to you!"

"That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyi immediately happily handed the thing to Shen Jiaojiao, and then looked at her eagerly.

Everyone looked at Shen Jiaojiao, but no one spoke.

Shen Jiaojiao felt as if she was being roasted on a fire, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

She felt that if she dared to take it, Shen Luo would chop off her hand.

The timing is not right, we can’t take this thing.

Shen Jiaojiao retracted her hand that she wanted to extend, lowered her eyes and shook her head, saying: "Sister, these three things carry the love that father and second and third brothers have for you. They are too precious, and I can't afford them."

"But Daddy, Second Brother, and Third Brother are willing to give it to you. Besides, this is also my sincere apology."

Shen Ruyi looked at her with a pleading expression, "If you don't accept it, Third Brother also said that I will be kicked out of the Shen family. Don't you want to see your sister kicked out of the house?"
