Also, wasn’t the hairpin given to Shen Jiaojiao as an apology under duress?

How come it appears in the hands of the Third Young Master now?

Why does he look like he's crying?

Fangfei was a little confused.

Shen Luo didn't want her to see his tears, so he turned and looked away, "Nothing."

"oh."

Fang Fei nodded, walked past him carefully, and went to find Shen Ruyi, "Miss, the Third Young Master is crying outside our door, and he is holding the hairpin he gave you before. I don't know if it was thrown away by the Second Young Master and he picked it up, or if he asked the Second Young Master for it back."

"Anyway, it's just weird."

"Are you coming back?"

Shen Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled after coming back to her senses, "Even if he is coming back, it has nothing to do with us."

She doesn't care anymore.

Shen Luo just walked to the main entrance and was about to come in when he heard these words.

It was like a sword suddenly piercing his heart.

He clenched the hairpin tightly and his whole body began to tremble. An indescribable pain spread throughout his body. He felt so wronged that he almost wanted to cry, but he didn't have the right to cry.

He's feeling so miserable now.

What about Ruyi?

Before, when he stood on Shen Jiaojiao's side, ruined her reputation, and forced her to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao, how sad and heartbroken Shen Ruyi must have felt?

Suddenly, he didn't have the courage to go in.

Shen Ruyi didn't look up either.

Finally, Shen Luo left in despair.

"The Third Young Master didn't even come in," Fang Fei looked at him for a long time and shook her head. "If he really knew the truth, he should at least come in and apologize and explain himself clearly. What's going on?"

Shen Ruyi sneered in her heart.

How can a person who has always stood on the moral high ground to bully others have the courage to face his own mistakes?

This is the case with the young masters of the Shen family.

They can accuse each other of being wrong, but it is difficult for them to stand up and admit their mistakes... like her father.

…

A moment later, Shen Yu came back.

After discussing with Shen Cangyun, he went straight to Xifeng Courtyard and said through the door in a very complicated tone: "Ruyi, I have something to tell you. Jiaojiao's stomach disease has recently been found a new prescription. As long as the blood of relatives is used as the medicine, it can be cured."

"so what?"

Shen Ruyi looked up at him, her pupils narrowed slightly.

Shen Yu knew that what he said was nonsense and didn't want to face her, but when he thought that she might not be the daughter of the Shen family, his heart hardened, "It won't take much blood, just a needle prick. Don't be too nervous, not only you need to be pricked, but Dad will too."

"What about you?"

Shen Ruyi asked.

Shen Yu shook his head gently, "I can't. Dad will do the pricking because he is the father, and the blood of my parents is similar to Jiaojiao's. As for you, you are Jiaojiao's twin sister, so your blood should be the same."

funny.

Shen Ruyi smiled.

At this point, she could already roughly confirm what Shen Cangyun was going to do.

However, in the end, the suspicion fell on her, which made it hard for him as a father to be so careful and vigilant.

"OK."

She laughed and said one word.

It just so happened that she also hoped that her blood would not merge with Shen Cangyun's.

When that time comes, whoever wants to marry Gu Qinghua can go ahead. She won’t have anything to do with it, and it will be a natural way for her to leave the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

After Shen Ruyi finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued reading.

Shen Yu looked at her like this, frowning, "Ruyi, if you need anything, just tell me, big brother."

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable looking at Shen Ruyi like this, as if his heart was originally occupied by something, but it was emptied out without him knowing when, and it made him feel uncomfortable.

"No."

Shen Ruyi looked up and didn't want to say another word.

Shen Yu choked and wanted to say something else, but suddenly the voice of the guard came from outside the door, saying in panic: "My Lord, it's bad, Cui Yu hanged herself!"

"What?"

Shen Yu froze, "Didn't Cui Yu get kicked out? Where did she die?"

"Cui Yu is dead?"

Fang Fei was also startled and subconsciously looked at Shen Ruyi.

Shen Ruyi got up and went out, "Let's go and take a look."

Outside the door, the guard said, "He was hanged on the rockery."

"This is really unlucky."

Shen Yu looked grim, and walked quickly towards the rockery. "There was a wedding going on in the mansion, but someone died! Why did she have to hang herself in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What did she mean?"

Shen Ruyi followed him and pondered over Shen Yu's words. She realized that human nature was cold and fickle. In her previous life, she didn't see clearly, so she thought she had the best brothers in the world, but they just didn't love her.

Now that I have come to my senses, I am gradually seeing their true nature.

But Cuiyu's death really surprised her.

Because, after she went there, she saw Cui Yu hanging on the crooked tree on the top of the rockery, and the rope she used was the same one she had taken when she was depressed and wanted to commit suicide.

"When did she come back?"

Shen Yu quickly climbed up the rockery and stared at the scarred body on the tree. "It was obvious that he was beaten before he died."

Subconsciously, he looked at Shen Ruyi who came up later.

Cuiyu is Shen Ruyi's maid.

Because of perjury, he was expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion by Shen Cangyun, but unexpectedly, he appeared on the rockery and hanged himself there.

Shen Ruyi met his gaze and smiled, "You don't think that I beat her and hanged her to death, do you? Speaking of which, she had been serving Shen Jiaojiao for a long time. How come someone died while serving her?"

Fang Fei curled her lips and laughed softly, "It's because the Second Miss is so lucky that the maids died one after another."

It was an unintentional remark.

But when Shen Yu heard it, it had a different taste.

Yes, although Shen Ruyi had various problems, no one died when Shen Ruyi was the only one in the mansion, and not even a single servant was beaten or scolded.

Shen Jiaojiao was gentle and kind, but since she came, servants in the mansion have died one after another.

That's strange too.

"There are other people's footprints here, and I don't know whose they are..." The guard looked at the ground and suddenly said, "The footprints are from a man, not the young lady."

"Heh." Shen Ruyi sneered.

I really thought it was her.

Looking down at the footprints, she roughly confirmed that it was Shen Luo.

The only people who wear this kind of boots in the mansion are Shen Cangyun and a few young masters.

But Shen Yu has big feet, and Shen Ci is not at home, so Shen Luo is the only one left.

No wonder he was hanging around the gate of Xifeng Courtyard like a madman. Cuiyu probably told him the truth of that day.

However, in the end, it was Cui Yu instead of Shen Jiaojiao who died, so the show was not very interesting, and Shen Luo’s position was very clear.

No matter how much he regretted, the last thing he considered was always the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for who was sacrificed for this result, it doesn't matter.

That's why he wouldn't apologize to her and tell her the truth.

He would not even give Cui Yu the chance to tell the truth, so he chose to kill her to silence her. In a sense, he was still protecting Shen Jiaojiao.

After all, Shen Jiaojiao is the culprit.

It's really good.

Shen Ruyi sneered, turned around and walked down the rockery, "Let's go, it has nothing to do with us."

"oh."

Fangfei followed him down.

"As one wishes!"

Shen Yu turned around, looked at Shen Ruyi's departing back and suddenly said, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
