The attendant was an old man who served Emperor Cheng in the past, and he knew a thing or two about these matters.
"What do you say I should recruit him?" He was so impressive at the age of twelve, so his strategy and methods must be extraordinary.
"You can give it a try. If it succeeds, it will definitely be a great help."
…
When the carriage arrived in the capital, Shu Shiyu did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but went to the General's Mansion with Ling Yao.
After sitting in the carriage for several days, no matter how careful one is, the bumpy ride is unavoidable, and Shu Shiyu looked a little unhappy.
"Miss Shu, you must be tired from the journey. I'll prescribe some tranquilizer for you so you can have a good rest tonight." Ziling said after checking her pulse.
Shu Shiyu nodded, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After a night's rest, Shu Shi called Baichuan and Baijiang over and asked them some details about Shu Yan.
"Three days later, go and spread the news that I'm back. Tell them that Shu Yan doesn't like his eldest daughter, and after years of harsh treatment, she doesn't dare to return home."
"You exaggerated what they did to me and spread it around."
She wanted Shu Yan to come and invite her back in person.
Shu Yan is a person who has always valued his reputation.
"Yes, ma'am."
Shu Shiyu lowered his eyes and looked at the list on the table with a cold expression.
Only by destroying what they value most can you make them feel pain.
Shu Yan prided himself on being noble and good at managing his reputation. He married Li Man, who was her mother's best friend at the time, on the grounds that he was young and needed his mother's care. Li Man married Shu Yan to take care of her best friend's daughter, and thus won him a good reputation.
Shu Shiyi often came to her room to show off, saying how many connections she had made, how much Shu Yan doted on her, and how she was the most talented woman sought after by the young men in Beijing.
Shu Shiyi also poured out Shu Shiyu's medicine and poured cold water on her quilt, almost killing her on a cold winter night. She coughed all night.
In the end, Bai Tong went through a dog hole to the General's Mansion to find Ling Yao, who was in Beijing at the time, and Ling Yao took her back to the General's Mansion.
Ling Yao went to Shu Yan to ask for an explanation, but Shu Yan just said that she was ignorant.
Li Man's son Shu Heng often secretly threw snakes, insects, rats and ants into Shu Shiyu's bed. The first time, Shu Shiyu was almost frightened to death.
Ling Yao was not in Beijing, so Shu Shiyu dragged her sick body to find Shu Yan, but Shu Yan coldly scolded her for being ignorant and arguing with a three-year-old child.
But he never thought that Shu Shiyu was only eight years old at that time.
When she was young, she had also looked forward to her father's love, but Shu Yan hated her very much, saying that seeing her sickly was unlucky and would affect his official career.
If it weren't for Ling Yao, Shu Shiyu had no doubt that they would have let themselves die of illness long ago.
Li Man likes to put on a show, acting like a loving elder who wants to be good to her, but secretly she would not let Bai Tong and Bai Xi bring the food to her until it had gotten cold, and she would not give charcoal in the winter, and was stingy in everything.
Shu Shiyu was already in poor health, so she naturally had no appetite for cold rice and cold dishes. After she forced herself to swallow a few bites, Li Man said that she did not accept her as her stepmother, and refused to eat anything that the chef had prepared for her. She did not give her face and said that it was difficult for her to be a stepmother.
Li Man had a reputation as a good stepmother. She always looked worried. When asked, she would pretend to be worried about Shu Shiyu at home. At this time, Shu Shiyi would say, "Why do you care about her? No matter how good you are to her, she will not appreciate it!"
When the others heard this, they continued to ask questions. The mother and daughter then joined in spreading rumors about Shu Shiyu, sparing no effort to discredit Shu Shiyu. Although Shu Shiyu had never been out of the house, he gained the reputation of being a sickly and ungrateful person.
