Shen Yunmo originally intended to quietly return to his carriage.
However, just as she was about to get into the car, she heard Shen Yunjiao say from behind, "Yunmo, sit with me."
"Uh, okay, sister." Shen Yunmo dared not refuse, so she nodded and lifted the carriage curtain to enter the carriage.
Shen Yunjiao turned her head and said to Shen Qinghuai beside her, "Brother, may I have some private words with Yunmo as sisters?"
Shen Qinghuai was taken aback. "Then I'll ride in the same car Yunmo used to come in."
Actually, Shen Qinghuai was quite puzzled. What could Yun Jiao possibly have that she couldn't let her brother hear?
However, since it was his sister's wish, he would do as she said.
The carriage was completely silent.
Shen Yunmo felt that her elder sister seemed to have changed a bit recently. After getting into the car, she didn't dare to look at Shen Yunjiao, but just tightened the handkerchief in her hand, "Sister."
"Don't call me 'sister'." Shen Yunjiao's face was as cold as frost. "When you were seducing Pei Zhixuan, why didn't you remember that I was your sister?"
A hint of panic flashed across Shen Yunjiao's face, and she quickly shook her head in denial, saying, "Sister, you've misunderstood."
"I misunderstood. I know exactly what you're thinking." Shen Yunjiao's lips curled into a mocking smile as she asked in a calm tone, "You'd better tell me honestly when you took a liking to Pei Zhixuan."
"I...I didn't!" Shen Yunmo hurriedly denied, tears welling in his eyes.
"No? Do you believe me? I can order the driver to change course and go to the Pei residence right now. I'll go and ask Pei Zhixuan for an explanation!"
Although Shen Yunjiao's voice was calm, it was extremely intimidating.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunmo's body went limp, and he trembled with fear.
"Hmph, you have the desire but not the guts!" Shen Yunjiao sneered.
"explain."
“Sister, I fell in love with my brother-in-law when he was still the top scholar in the imperial examination and rode through the streets on horseback that year, and I went with you.”
That day, he was dressed in red and rode a white steed, his posture exceptionally handsome.
Shen Yunmo was captivated at first glance.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao paused, and the description in the original text came to mind.
It turns out that when the young master rode his horse against the bridge that year, surrounded by beauties in red sleeves, he not only won the heart of the original owner, but also captured the heart of her younger sister.
I really don't see what charm he has that could make two sisters fall for him at the same time!
Even if he loves her deeply, Shen Yunmo cannot use love as an excuse to engage in all sorts of shady dealings.
"Shen Yunmo, you're already calling him brother-in-law, and you're still thinking about seducing him? Aren't you ashamed?"
"But my brother-in-law doesn't love you!" Shen Yunmo shouted in a low voice, her eyes red. "If it weren't for Father's love for you and his forced marriage to your brother-in-law, do you think he would have fallen for you? What he likes is a noble lady from a wealthy family who can understand him and is generous and proper. But you, sister, are not that kind of person at all."
Shen Yunmo was forced by Shen Yunjiao to tell his true feelings.
Once that mean-spirited face is exposed, it can no longer be concealed.
Since that's the case, she'll just be frank and speak her mind.
Shen Yunjiao gave a cool smile, "I am indeed not that kind of person. I am vengeful, have a clear sense of right and wrong, and am particularly vengeful."
She moved closer to Shen Yunmo, gently lifting her half-sister's pitiful face with the handle of her fan, and said slowly, "If I find out again that you're using the title of Shen family's illegitimate daughter to provoke Pei Zhixuan, I'll definitely scratch your pretty face with a knife. Do you think Pei Zhixuan will still want you then?"
"Not only does Pei Zhixuan reject you, but which man in the entire capital would dare to want you?"
Shen Yunmo's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead drop by drop.
Although Shen Yunjiao was arrogant and domineering in the past, she had never threatened or intimidated her like this before.
The current state of Shen Yunjiao terrified her.
"I won't do it again, elder sister, please forgive me!" Shen Yunmo's teeth chattered as she stammered out the words.
Shen Yunjiao snorted coldly but did not make things difficult for herself. She listlessly lay back down next to the soft pillow she had been leaning against.
Boring.
These minor villains can be easily intimidated and immediately surrender.
He's truly bad, and truly cowardly.
Fortunately, she helped the original owner vent her anger, and hopefully, if the original owner's spirit in heaven could see this, it would bring them some peace.

In the dead of night, Liang Garden was no longer as lively and bustling as it had been during the day. The guests had already left by carriage, and the imperial carriage had long since turned off its lights and gone to rest.
A man dressed in a royal blue robe waited anxiously at the side gate of the East Garden.
"Your Excellency, I apologize for keeping you waiting. Please come this way."
A barely audible female voice came from behind.
Shen Zhizhang nodded. He looked around to make sure no one was there before following the woman.
He was led by the woman, dressed in pink palace attire and wearing a veil, into a dilapidated side hall within Liang Garden.
It was pitch black outside the hall, and the cool night wind blew into his sleeves like ice.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhizhang gritted his teeth and stepped into the hall.
The palace maid then extinguished the lantern in her hand.
The hall was dimly lit. As soon as Shen Zhizhang entered, he was pulled into the inner room by a slender hand.
When Shen Zhizhang looked up, the woman's bright and beautiful face was full of teasing.
"Your Highness, you mustn't—" Shen Zhizhang took several steps back, "This is not a place for me to stay."
"Don't try that on me, Shen Zhizhang."
With a forceful push, Consort Shu pushed Prime Minister Chen into the bed.
Startled, Shen Zhizhang turned to run, but was stopped by Consort Shu's stern voice, "Shen Zhizhang, are you even a man? Don't you have this much courage?"
"Your Majesty, this is Liang Garden! His Majesty's garden! How dare you be so bold!" Shen Zhizhang closed his eyes tightly and said, enduring his shame.
"He took the pills and drank the wine, and has been asleep for a long time." Consort Shu smoothed her hair with her hand, stared at the man for a long time with amusement, and suddenly pulled him into the boudoir.
“Shen Zhizhang, we have been childhood sweethearts and deeply in love, but you have been hesitant to ask me to marry you because of my identity as a member of the Southern Yue tribe.”
"Now I have become the Emperor's most favored concubine, helping you become the Grand Secretary, second only to the Emperor. But you seem to have forgotten the benefits I have brought you. You don't come to me, you don't care about me, and you even want to bypass me to control His Majesty's mind."
Shen Zhizhang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, while Consort Shu leaned down.
"I specifically asked that woman from Jiangnan to marry your son-in-law because I wanted to tell you that I am the only one who can influence the emperor's will."
"This Dayong can only belong to Nanyue."
Consort Shu slowly removed her thin veil, revealing her cleavage. It was a captivating moment, yet Consort Shu's face held an incongruous obsession and ruthlessness. "Shen Zhizhang, I want you to be bound to me for the rest of your life!"
The candlelight flickered, and I couldn't sleep all night.
