In the cold wind, his voice was a little hoarse, his emotions were complicated, and thousands of thoughts were entangled in his mind:

Shen Ruyi is his sister who grew up in front of his own eyes, but Shen Ruyi may not be a member of the Shen family; Shen Ruyi is the victim of the rockery incident, but this matter can never be told, and he can only choose to conceal it for Shen Jiaojiao.

Finally, these thoughts brewed into a monster of vigilance, guilt, apology, pity, heartache and sacrificial indifference, which made him frown.

"What do you want me to say?"

Shen Ruyi turned her head on the steps and looked at the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the man she had called "Big Brother" for sixteen years.

At this moment, it was difficult to say "big brother" no matter what.

Shen Yu opened his mouth and finally said, "Ruyi, the Shen family will make up for what we owe you little by little in the future."

Shen Ruyi sneered inwardly and asked, "When?"

Shen Yu choked.

She first married Gu Qinghua, then went to the clan house, and then to the laundry bureau, or Xinzheku.

Only after you get out can we talk about compensation.

Because, for the Prime Minister's Mansion, the most important thing right now is to let Shen Ci return to the Imperial Hospital, otherwise it would be too dangerous for Concubine Li to be at a loss in the palace.

But if Shen Ci wants to go back, Shen Ruyi has to admit his mistake.

Only if Shen Ruyi takes the blame can she clear Shen Ci's name and return to the Imperial Hospital. But the price is that Shen Ruyi will be injured...

He couldn't say these words to Shen Ruyi, and finally he could only say: "There will always be such a day."

Oh.

Shen Ruyi felt cold in her heart, "Then I will wait for that day."

After saying that, he turned and left the rockery, never looking back.

Shen Yu frowned, and after coming back to his senses, he ordered the guards, "Bury the jade, and don't let anyone know about this. Also, hurry up and find a midwife, I have something to clarify."

Shen Jiaojiao came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The midwife testified that she was possessed by a ghost and couldn't help but take away a child.

At that time, the father was furious and wanted to kill the midwife.

But Shen Jiaojiao knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, saying that it was not easy for the midwife to raise her so big, and she could make up for her mistake by doing so, so just send her away.

In order not to make Shen Jiaojiao sad, the midwife was let go.

Now, I feel that things are not that simple...

…

On the way to Xifeng Pavilion, Fang Fei couldn't help but ask Shen Ruyi, "Miss, what does the eldest master mean? The person died and you didn't kill him, why would he ask you to say something? Could it be that he still doubts us?"

"That's not what he suspected."

Shen Ruyi smiled coldly, "Just wait, there will be a good show in a few days. It depends on who is better between Shen Jiaojiao and the other people in the Shen family."

Shen Ruyi actually hopes that Shen Jiaojiao will win.

If Shen Jiaojiao won, she could be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with good reason, and she wouldn't have to break off the engagement with Gu Qinghua, or even bring it up in person.

What a hassle saver!

After returning to her room to clean up, she said to Fang Fei, "Keep an eye on Jiaoyang Pavilion this afternoon. If Shen Jiaojiao has any new movements, come back and tell me. I have to go out for a while."

After settling down, he planned to go out and look for the old beggar.

Unexpectedly, before he could move, a royal blue figure rushed in from the doorway, a cold light flashed across it and went straight to Shen Ruyi's vitals, "I heard that you are learning martial arts from someone recently, let me see what you have learned!"

The tone was high-pitched and contained a hint of hostility.

Shen Ruyi was unable to dodge and was pierced through the shoulder by the sword. Blood immediately oozed out. Only after feeling the severe pain did she see who was coming.

The man in front of him was wearing a sapphire blue brocade suit, well-dressed and menacing, with a bit of wildness in his eyes. He sneered, "You're not that great, you don't even know how to hide!"

As he spoke, he drew out the swords.

Blood splashed on Shen Ruyi's shoulder, frightening Fang Fei and screaming, "Fourth Master, are you crazy? The eldest lady has only been learning martial arts for one day, and you have practiced sword for fifteen years, but you use it on her! You are not her brother!"

As he said that, he hurriedly took out the golden wound medicine and came up to bandage Shen Ruyi's wound.

Shen Ruyi stood there without moving. The severe pain in her shoulder was obvious and clear, but she didn't make a sound or blink, just stared at the person in front of her.

After a long while, he said, "Shen Xiao, we are even now."

The person in front of her was her fourth brother Shen Xiao, whom she had not seen for a long time.

He started learning martial arts from the Six Gentlemen of Pinghun at the age of four, and always said that he would protect her all his life.

But later, in order to protect Shen Jiaojiao, he stabbed her in the chest and questioned her why she was so cruel and hurt Shen Jiaojiao again and again.

Shen Ruyi originally thought that she would never suffer such pain again in this life.

But she didn't expect that when Shen Xiao came back, he took the initiative to launch a sneak attack without even saying hello, and directly hit her with a sword!

Shen Ruyi's pupils trembled as she thought of the last moment of her previous life.

When Shen Jiaojiao was brought back by her, someone shot an arrow from a distance. In order to shield Shen Jiaojiao from the arrow, Shen Xiao kicked her out with her limbs broken. The arrow pierced her chest and nailed her to the edge of the cliff.

His eyes were so cruel.

With these things flashing through his mind, Shen Ruyi took the medicine from Fang Fei.

He turned and went into the house without even looking at Shen Xiao.

"Shen Ruyi, what do you mean?"

Shen Xiao looked at the blood on the blade and frowned, "I originally thought that you could dodge it..."

When he came, he was indeed very angry.

Because on the way back he met Shen Ci who was planning to seek refuge in Pinghu. Shen Ci told him what Shen Ruyi had done at home in the past few days, which made him so angry that he was fuming.

I originally felt a little guilty about stabbing her.

But when he thought of these things, he became furious again and couldn't help but chase him in and said, "Shen Ruyi, you ruined my second brother's future, used the prescription to control your own sister, and let her struggle in hell. You also colluded with outsiders to put pressure on my eldest brother and father!"

"You've done so many things wrong, why are you so angry?"

Before coming here, he had thought of various scenarios of meeting Shen Ruyi.

I thought she would throw herself into his arms, crying and complaining that he hadn't come to see her for six months, and that she had never hurt anyone, but I didn't expect her to react like this.

This is his sister whom he has spoiled since childhood. How could she become like this?

Are you going to cut off ties with him directly?

Well, he admitted that he was indeed reckless in his sword strike just now and he should go in and explain things to her.

Shen Xiao's mind was in turmoil, and he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a large hand. He deliberately slowed down his tone and called her name, "Ruyi..."

When he arrived at the door of the compartment, he pushed aside the curtain and went in without any hesitation.

But he didn't expect Shen Ruyi to turn around and push him against the wall, holding a dagger against his neck, calling him by name, "Shen Xiao, I only learned for one day, but if I have to sneak attack, I may not be worse than you who have learned for more than ten years!"
