Suddenly, my hands started to itch.
My instinct was to reach out and snap his neck!
After all, this so-called father is a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children years ago. Now he suddenly appears and provokes her. No matter how you look at him, he is really annoying!
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment before she suppressed it. Of course, it wasn't because she had softened her heart, but because Cheng Sijin, who should have been unconscious, seemed to sense danger and suddenly opened her eyes: "What... do you want to do?"
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
Cheng Shanshan silently withdrew her hand, her tone full of disdain in her reply.
Cheng Sijin swallowed hard. He wanted to say that he was just sick, not blind, and that he could see she had tried to strangle him: "I am... I am your father. If you dare touch me, it is... the heinous crime of patricide!"
"Um."
Cheng Shanshan responded.
Cheng Sijin could tell from her nonchalant response what this girl's attitude really was.
He hurriedly tried to sit up, but his body felt like it was on fire, and he had no strength left: "What... what's wrong with me?"
"You've been poisoned, haven't you?" Cheng Shanshan didn't even bother to look at him, answering very casually: "As for who poisoned you, that depends on who you've offended."
This leads to the question for Cheng Sijin.
He may not have many other qualities, but he has many enemies.
After all, he would cheat, steal, and cheat whenever he could just to have a drink, but upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right.
Cheng Shanshan also felt that something was wrong.
After all, Cheng Sijin really hadn't left the house or contacted anyone else in the past few days.
Cheng Sijin was suddenly startled: "You weren't the one who poisoned me, were you?"
Cheng Shanshan looked at him like he was an idiot: "If I wanted to kill you, would it have to be so complicated?"
"..."
Cheng Sijin couldn't refute these words.
Cheng Shanshan was also puzzled as to who could have done this.
Just then, Madam Bai came in carrying water, her eyes full of concern: "You're finally awake. I thought you were fast asleep."
"Hmph, what good would it do you if I died? Don't let yourself be fooled all the time. That Liu Liu from the Ye family last time was clearly a vixen who stole our daughter's man, but you still went along with her because of your soft heart!" Cheng Sijin's attitude towards Bai Shi was extremely bad, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed impatience: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and feed me the medicine!"
Bai was speechless after being scolded, and trembling, she handed over the pills and hot water.
"Smack!"
Cheng Shanshan raised her hand and opened it.
The scalding hot water instantly splashed onto Cheng Sijin's body, and he cried out in pain, "It's burning me to death!"
Cheng Shanshan couldn't stand it any longer and angrily retorted, "Shut up! I had my mother watch over you so she could bully you, not so you could treat her like a servant!" She then looked at Bai Shi with eyes full of anger: "Mother, why are you still acting this way?"
"I……"
Bai didn't know how to say it.
All she knew was that she had a fear of Cheng Sijin, and she unconsciously became obsequious.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Shanshan was so angry that she wanted to pry open Bai Shi's head to see what was going on in her mother's head.
However, she also knew that the Bai family had been weak for many years, and such a deep-seated thing could not be changed overnight. Under such circumstances, she could only clench her fists and try to suppress her anger: "Alright, tell me first, when did that Liu Liu come?"
Just yesterday.
When Bai got to this point, he quickly explained, "We only exchanged a few words through the door."
Cheng Shanshan frowned: "What did she say to you?"
"She said... she wanted to see you, but I knew you were upset about Xiao Huo, so I didn't let her in. Only your father was so angry that he cursed a few words outside before closing the door again." Bai's face flushed slightly as she said this: "Shanshan, have I gotten into trouble again?"
Cheng Shanshan didn't say anything.
I only carefully considered Bai's words.
If the poisoner was Liu Liu, then it's very likely that her initial target was the Bai family, but she didn't expect to be blocked by Cheng Sijin.
At this moment, Cheng Sijin realized what was happening and angrily cursed, "No wonder I felt so bad after yesterday. It turns out you're the one who caused this. I knew you wanted me to die. I really wanted to..." He made a move to raise his hand to hit him.
But he was scared back by Cheng Shanshan's murderous gaze before he could even get halfway through his action. After admitting defeat, he carefully slapped himself: "Um... I didn't mean anything by it. I just mean it's all my fault for being physically weak and falling for this trick."
Cheng Shanshan sneered: "The fact that you can still hit people means you're in great shape."
"No, no, no, I can't."
Cheng Sijin has survived all these years of hardship and suffering because he cherishes his life, or more accurately, because he is thick-skinned. Now that he knows he needs Cheng Shanshan, he immediately changes his attitude and looks at Bai Shi: "Her mother, please beg our daughter to save me. I don't want to die from poisoning."
"Poisoning?"
Even if Bai is foolish.
Now I understand the implications.
So she looked at Cheng Shanshan with caution. She knew that the reason she had broken her bottom line and kept Cheng Sijin was all because of her mother. Now she dared not say anything else.
At this moment, Cheng Shanshan called Cheng Shisi over directly: "Shisi, this person is not suitable for my mother to look after. Why don't you take him to play in the backyard?"
"Play?"
Cheng Shisi was a little puzzled.
Cheng Shanshan said, "Didn't you say you needed a live animal for training? Just bring him over."
Cheng Sijin was filled with terror: "Daughter, my body won't allow it."
"Um."
Cheng Shanshan glanced at it lightly: "Not allowed if it's not just right?"
"Okay!"
Cheng Shisi immediately dragged Cheng Sijin away.
Bai was extremely worried about this: "Shanshan, he is, after all,..."
"You mean he's my father, right?"
Cheng Shanshan clenched her fists, her voice icy: "I haven't forgotten that he's my father, nor have I forgotten how he abandoned his wife and daughter, or how much suffering my mother and I endured in the Cheng family. If your memory isn't good, Mother, I can tell you everything one by one!"
"No...no need."
Madam Bai burst into tears: "I know you've suffered with your mother all these years."
"My suffering is over, it's yours that isn't over yet!"
Cheng Shanshan stopped there.
After leaving the house, she headed straight for the former residence of Prefect Dong. Now the place was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and her plain clothes made her stand out from the crowd. Before she even got close, she heard a familiar voice.
"Cheng Shanshan?"
When Ye Dong saw her, his eyes lit up with joy.
Cheng Shanshan hadn't seen Ye Dong for a long time and noticed that he had become increasingly thin: "It seems that Brother Ye is exhausted from arranging your sister's marriage."
