She had been reborn and had an absolute advantage. Thinking of the tragic death of Shu Ying, she felt much better.
Even in her current sorry state, she's still much better off than Shu Ying.
Moreover, Shu Ying is beautiful. It is said that bad people come from poor and remote places, and there are bound to be a few hooligans in the village.
Whether Shuying can preserve her innocence remains to be seen. Although she encountered human traffickers and it's unknown what happened, it's still better than Shuying's situation.
As she thought about it, she suddenly felt a sense of wonder.
"Shu Yan, you're already in the capital, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Xie Zhiyan is your fiancé!"
She cheered herself up and was about to go up to the sentry to inquire about Xie Zhiyan's situation when she saw Zhong Yun'er come out from inside. Unfortunately, the other person also saw her.
Zhong Yun'er's shrill voice pierced through: "Shu Yan? You've come to the capital too. You two Shu sisters are really something, treating this place as a safe haven?"
She originally wanted to go out and buy a couple of pretty outfits. She had looked quite haggard lately from taking care of the child, and she couldn't keep appearing in front of Duan Huaichuan looking so drab. Men are visual creatures, and after a while, they would get tired of it.
I didn't expect to see Shu Yan as soon as I stepped out.
Shu Yan was stunned. She knew Zhong Yun'er because Li Qingqing was close to Shu Ying. She couldn't stand that Shu Ying had friends, so she went to inquire about Li Qingqing's family situation.
Knowing about the relationship between Li Qingqing and Zhong Yun'er, Shu Yan even took the initiative to go to her and said she wanted to help Zhong Yun'er.
Zhong Yun'er just didn't believe it.
She disliked Shu Yan's condescending attitude.
"You'd be so kind as to help me? I'm not some fool who'll be used as a pawn. Don't try to harm me. You and Shu Ying are both from the Shu family, but you're worlds apart from her. You're putting on a good show for me. If you really have a solution, why don't you just go to Shu Ying?"
Those words were like a slap in the face to Shu Yan, and the feud between the two began from that moment on.
I never expected that we would meet again here.
"Zhong Yun'er? You, why are you inside?"
The two of them hadn't gotten along very well in the first place, but Shu Yan had never had a chance to get revenge. Now, seeing Zhong Yun'er actually in the family compound, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
Zhong Yun'er initially thought she had misread it and wasn't sure at first. It wasn't until Shu Yan spoke that she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It really is you. I thought I was seeing things. I never imagined you would be so down on your luck."
As she spoke, she exaggeratedly covered her nose with one hand and moved back in disgust: "Ugh, did you come out of a garbage dump? You stink! Look at your hair, it's all tangled. How many days has it been since you showered? Get away from me, I'm afraid you have a virus that I can't get."
Putting aside the fact that Shu Yan has long lost her former arrogance, her entire image is now terrible, with no part of her that is not repulsive.
Shu Yan was furious. How dare Zhong Yun'er, who used to live in a tenement building, mock her?
"Zhong Yun'er, watch your mouth, or you'll regret it. If you dare to offend me, you won't have a good ending."
Xie Zhiyan's social status was her strongest protection.
Zhong Yun'er chuckled, as if she had heard a joke.
"What, you have a husband who's a military officer, just like Shu Ying? By the way, I don't think you're married yet. I think Cheng Shaoyuan is quite loyal to you. If you ask me, people shouldn't be too greedy, lest they end up with nothing."
Shu Yan's chest heaved violently. She was furious at being repeatedly provoked by people inferior to herself.
"If you can be here, why can't I? My future husband will definitely make me surpass you in status. It's not too late for you to curry favor with me now."
Zhong Yun'er sneered: "I am a military dependent, and my husband is a people's hero. It is only natural for me to be here. Shu Ying and Li Qingqing are also military dependents, and they are also here legitimately. What are you?"
Shu Yan's mind went blank for a moment. Was Shu Ying in the family compound?
There was some uncertainty in her voice: "What did you mean just now? Shu Ying is here?"
Zhong Yun'er straightened her back, and the expression on her face changed from mockery to disdain.
When a person falls on hard times, their IQ seems to drop. Shu Yan looks dull and not very smart now.
"Otherwise what? They are legitimate military dependents. Do you think you can just side with Shu Ying?"
Zhong Yun'er couldn't help but laugh: "You used to look down on people, but now you want to rely on them. Shu Yan, I think you're pathetic."
She looked coldly at Shu Yan, whose face was pale, and felt a sense of satisfaction. Shu Yan used to be so noble, but now she had nowhere to live, no fixed abode, and had to be pitied by everyone.
"Shu Ying is living a life of unparalleled glory now. Who wouldn't envy her? You're both children of the Shu family, so how come your lives are so different?"
Shu Yan belatedly realized that Shu Ying had not been sent down to the countryside at all, but had come to the capital with her child.
She has now found Xie Zhiyan before her and become a military wife.
Shu Yan's world has collapsed.
"You say you don't have a very good relationship with them, so I advise you not to be so tactless. They're a happy family, why do you have to come and interfere? I'm telling you, you just have no sense of propriety. Forget it, there's no point in talking to someone like you."
Shu Yan took a deep breath. After being mocked by Zhong Yun'er for so long, her face turned ashen: "Why are you babbling about our family affairs? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Shu Ying's sister. Don't you even know what you look like? You're just showing off because you're a military family member. No wonder Duan Huaichuan wanted Li Qingqing but not you."
Shu Yan's words struck a nerve with Zhong Yun'er. She gritted her teeth, and if it weren't for the sentries, the two of them would have been fighting.
"Watch your mouth. We both had our own difficulties back then. Who are you to tell me what to do? You don't even know how to live your own life. Do you think you're some rich young lady? With your clothes, you might as well go beg on the street. At least you won't starve to death."
Shu Yan waved her arm, and the unpleasant smell emanated from her. Zhong Yun'er waved the air in front of her with disgust, her eyes even more mocking.
"Can't you have any self-awareness? You stink like hell, you're even less hygienic than a man."
Shu Yan's face flushed with anger: "Stop talking nonsense. I just couldn't wash up on the way here. Even if I'm down on my luck, I'm still better than you. With your sharp and mean attitude, you'll never be happy in this life."
