The day was full of surprises, and everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted.
After dispersing, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for washing up and resting early.
However, unlike them, Shen Ning was actually in a pretty good mood.
The men who used to be infatuated with Shen Shu chased after her like wild dogs, barking wildly. Now she's going to let Shen Shu and the others experience what it feels like to be condemned by everyone and have no way to speak out.
No matter how charming Shen Shu is, she can only bewitch a few men. How could she possibly silence public opinion and the hearts of the people?
This is just the beginning; she's determined to ensure that Shen Shu and her men will never be able to recover in this lifetime.
"Smack!"
A drop of water on her forehead interrupted her thoughts. She paused for a moment. Was it raining?
No, even if it rains, her house won't leak.
She reached out and touched it. Without even looking, the sticky texture and the smell of blood in the air told her what it was.
Blood.
Someone is hiding on the roof beam.
Logically, she should have panicked, but someone who has died before doesn't really feel there's anything to be afraid of.
Shen Ning gently adjusted her hair bun, removing the hairpin while wiping away the bloodstains.
Could this person be the thief who stole the Crown Prince's things?
It's probably pretty close to the truth.
The search team has left, so this place is currently very safe for her.
So what should she do next? Wait for him to leave on his own? But if he doesn't leave, how will she wash up and go to sleep?
She wasn't afraid, but she wasn't so careless as to sleep soundly with a thief in the house.
She slowly removed her hair ornaments one by one, then suddenly remembered something.
Injured, hiding in a house, rescued... This process seems so familiar.
Yes, Shen Shu once said that her relationship with that person started when he was injured and hid in her room, saving her life. Later, that person protected her in every way, and the two fell in love because of this.
The man used a false name, and Shen Shu was unaware of his identity. She had an illicit affair with him out of wedlock and became pregnant.
By chance, Shen Shu learned of his identity, and not only did she get married, she even had a child.
Shen Shu ran to his house on a rainy night and made a scene, but was refused entry. She eventually fainted in the rain and miscarried.
The person never appeared; it was Shen Ning who couldn't stand it anymore and brought the person back.
Shen Shu felt deceived and went on a tantrum at home, threatening to kill herself.
Forced into a corner by her, Shen Ning had no choice but to give her a secluded manor to recuperate, hoping that she could figure out what she was doing.
Not long after, she hooked up with the scumbag again. He coaxed her a little, and she actually agreed to go back with him, and even got pregnant again.
When Shen Ning found out, she rushed over to stop her, but Shen Ning said that it was true love and that she would die without the scumbag. She also said that the child should have a home.
Living in the scumbag's house without any status or identity, she was tormented and humiliated by the original wife, and her child was also beaten and scolded. She resented the scumbag for not loving her and her child enough, but hated Shen Ning for being heartless and not helping her at all.
When Shen Ning refused to help her, she went to Wei Congwen and Liang Zhuo to cry. The two of them were willing to risk their lives for her.
Then, with their combined efforts, they finally killed the scumbag's original wife, and Shen Shu successfully became the legal wife.
She resented Shen Ning for not helping her gain a proper title. The first thing she did after succeeding in taking over was to come back and put on airs, helping Shen Yu to drive Shen Ning out of the house.
Recalling the past, Shen Ning let out a long sigh.
She must have been an extremely wicked person in her past life, otherwise how could she have encountered such a scourge?
But now that she's been reborn with her memories intact, tsk, is that misfortune or fortune?
Liu Ying and Yu Zhu brought in water; one helped Shen Ning wash her face, and the other helped her wash her feet.
Shen Ning rubbed her tired brows, paused for a moment, and began her performance: "Sister Liu Ying, was I too much today?"
"She is my sister after all. I am angry at her for not living up to her expectations, but I can't really disown her."
"It's all Wei Congwen's fault. He took advantage of Shu'er's youth and ignorance. I can't blame only her..."
Liu Ying and Yu Zhu exchanged a glance, feeling both sorry for Shen Ning and relieved.
The young lady has been so happy and carefree these days that she feels like a stranger to them.
Now, this worried and distressed look on the second young lady is more like the eldest young lady they know.
How could the eldest young lady possibly hate the second young lady? She clearly loves the young master and the second young lady the most.
"Don't be sad, Miss. You did nothing wrong. They've gone too far."
Yu Zhu nodded repeatedly: "That's right, they don't seem to be here to apologize, but rather to interrogate us."
Shen Ning gazed out the window with a worried expression: "It's already so late..."
Liu Ying comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. There are plenty of farmers around here. As long as you pay a little money, it won't be a problem to find a place to stay for the night."
Shen Ning rubbed his temples: "After our parents died, I never let Shu'er suffer a single day. She probably hates me to death now..."
"Fine, send someone to bring Shu'er back." She sighed in resignation, annoyed at her own soft heart: "Just bring Shu'er back, Wei Congwen can die anywhere."
Liu Ying also hoped that the two sisters could reconcile, so after hesitating for a moment, she went out to call for help.
After washing up, Shen Ning sat for a while, but couldn't concentrate on reading a book, so she simply dragged Yu Zhu to find Du Yunzhi.
Shen Shu and the others didn't go far; they brought the person back in no time.
Perhaps not expecting things to take such a turn for the better, they were pleasantly surprised and had no objection to only inviting Chen Shu back.
The main priority now is to reconcile Shen Shu and Shen Ning; we can deal with the rest later.
However, when Shen Shu returned, she did not see Shen Ning. Liu Ying led her to Shen Ning's room and said, "Second Miss, please rest early."
