Chen Ningzhu got up early today and went to look for Jiang Wanwan while it was still cool, but she came back empty-handed.
But she wasn't angry.
It is understandable that they did this, but since they are out now, they might as well stroll around the garden.
Following her previous memories, she brought her maid to the garden closest to her Mingzhu Garden.
There is a pond here, which is fed with fresh water from outside. The water is usually clear, and there is a pavilion built beside it.
Sitting in the pavilion to enjoy the cool breeze and the view was quite a pleasure. However, some people were like timid candies, always keeping an eye on her and not wanting her to have an easy life.
Just after sitting for a while, Shen Ningxue came over with her maid.
"Sister, you are so elegant, enjoying the scenery here so early in the morning."
Shen Ningzhu didn't even raise her eyelids.
Shen Ningxue didn't care and walked into the pavilion on her own, leaning against the beauty sitting next to Shen Ningzhu.
"Why doesn't my sister say anything, but doesn't welcome my sister?"
Shen Ningzhu rolled her eyes at her coldly, "You've been in a lot of dramas lately, one after another, like you're rushing to do something. Aren't you pretending to be sick?"
"Also, if I say you're not welcome, will you leave?"
Shen Ningxue smiled, her eyebrows raised.
"Of course not. After all, this is my home. I can go wherever I want."
Listening to this showing off, Shen Ningzhu smiled.
"Yes, yes, it's your home. You can go wherever you want. If that's the case, then why are you wasting your time talking?"
"You... humph, what are you so proud of?" Shen Ningxue suddenly leaned close to Shen Ningzhu's ear and said viciously in a low voice:
"Chen Ningzhu, let me tell you, even if you try every possible way to stay here, it's useless. The Shen family will only have me as their daughter. The status of the legitimate daughter, the love of my parents and brothers, all of these are mine."
"From today on, I will take back everything that belongs to me bit by bit. As for you, I swear, sooner or later I will drive you out of the Shen Mansion."
Shen Ningzhu really couldn't figure it out.
"Chen Ningxue, can you tell me what kind of affection you have for the Shen couple in the countryside? You've been away from Tianshui Village for so long, don't you miss them at all?"
Shen Ningzhu was really curious.
After all, they raised her and were said to love her very much. They were still worried about whether Shen Ningxue would be uncomfortable leaving them and whether she could gain a foothold in the capital alone.
But what about her?
Shen Ningzhu couldn't tell that she missed that family in the slightest. In her opinion, Shen Ningxue had integrated into the family too quickly, accepting the maids' service and the luxurious food and clothing the day she entered the mansion.
Even after receiving the love of her family, she still dared to use tricks to deal with her, the fake daughter who had been raised by the Shen family for more than ten years.
This kind of personality is really not like the simplicity and kindness of an ordinary peasant girl.
Shen Ningxue smiled and looked at Shen Ningzhu with an expression as if she was looking at a fool, “My dear sister, is your brain okay?”
"Why should I miss them? They're just a family of lowly, foolishly filial idiots."
"I worked hard, but all the money I earned went to support that whole family of ungrateful people."
"Not only do I suffer, but I also make my children suffer. What's the point of living like this? I have to do so much work every day, but I can't even fill my stomach. I have to rely on cold water to fill my stomach."
"A piece of trash like this is also qualified to be a parent? Miss them? No, I wish they were dead."
Speaking of the latter part, Shen Ningxue was so excited that she lost her mind and roared almost hysterically.
Shen Ningzhu was stunned where she was.
Looking into Shen Ningxue's eyes, he realized that she was not lying.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison, surging with hatred, which made Shen Ningzhu tremble with fear.
Before she recovered from her shock, she saw Shen Ningxue regain her sanity in an instant, straightened her clothes, and smiled at her with ill intent.
"Chen Ningzhu, why are you pretending? They are your biological parents after all, don't you despise them to death?"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so shameless as to stay here. But don't worry, I won't let you get what you want."
"All the suffering and humiliation I've endured should have been borne by you. You thief, you stole my life."
"You should experience ten times or a hundred times the suffering I've endured. Otherwise, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart. Oh, after you've endured all this, I want to see if you can still say what you just said."
Don’t advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering.
That’s not a home at all; it’s a suffocating cage that makes people so desperate that they can’t see any hope.
Now that she had finally broken free from the shackles, she thought, how could it be possible? She wished she could completely erase those nightmarish fifteen years from her mind.
…
Chen Ningzhu has lived a rich life in two lifetimes and has never worried about money.
Shen Ningxue’s words shocked her, and she couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time. At this moment, Shen Ningxue seized the opportunity and quickly approached her.
The maid Zhiyuan realized something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Miss, be careful."
However, it was too late.
Shen Ningzhu was pushed hard by the other party, lost her balance, and fell into the pond beside her. Before she had time to think about it, Shen Ningxue also jumped into the water.
Chen Ningzhu:???
My goodness, isn’t she tired? Will this frame-up never end?
Several maids on the shore were in a mess, shouting for help. After a while, Shen Chenxi ran over from not far away and jumped into the water without thinking.
When he saw Shen Ningzhu and Shen Ningxue in the water, he was obviously stunned.
At this moment, Shen Ningxue uttered an uncomfortable "hmm" and her body slowly sank into the water.
"Zhuzhu, wait for me for a moment."
After saying that, Shen Chenxi no longer cared about anything else, turned around and swam quickly to save Shen Ningxue.
Soon, Shen Ningxue was carried ashore.
Shen Ningzhu naturally didn't wait for him, and swam to the shore and climbed up. As soon as he looked up, he met Shen Ningxue's triumphant eyes.
It seems to be saying, look, between you and me, they will always choose me and not you.
Shen Ningzhu rolled her eyes speechlessly, took the outer coat that the maid took off and put it on, then left without saying a word.
As soon as she entered the yard, Chen Ningzhu went straight back to her room, while Zhiyuan Zhiyi asked people to prepare hot water for her to bathe.
But when I walked in, I found that there was someone sitting at the table.
Shen Ningzhu blinked.
"Your Highness? When did you arrive? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
Jiang Xuanyan saw her in such a mess that his brows furrowed subconsciously. "What are you up to? Chen Ningzhu, can't you just give me some peace of mind?"
The corners of Shen Ningzhu's mouth twitched.
Calling him a dog man is not unfair to him. Listen, is this human language?
"I'm all wet, didn't you see? It's fine if you don't care about me, but you're helping outsiders bully me? I'm your woman, is this appropriate for you to do?"
Jiang Xuanyan: "I... am alone..."
"Okay, I get it. You all despise me, you all don't like me. I'm leaving, okay?"
