Chapter 10 Hurry up, don't wait for me to urge you.
"Then hurry up and go, don't wait for me to urge you."
Shen Shu was so tired of hearing this that she was practically sick of it.
I've been saying I was going to die for ages, but I'm still not all dead yet.
"You!..." Shen Xiao was so angry that she couldn't speak. She turned around, climbed onto the stool, and was about to slap him on the neck.
The maids and servants attending to her naturally wouldn't let her die, pulling and tugging at her.
At this moment, Wen Lanting completely dropped the pretense, "Are you here to collect a debt? I'm so unlucky to have given birth to such a wretched child who is even trying to drive her own sister to her death."
Shen Shu couldn't stand it anymore.
She strode past these people and ripped off the white silk ribbon.
Everyone was stunned by her actions, and for a moment the hall was silent, no one knowing what she was going to do.
Shen Shu said softly, "Sister, don't you want to die? How can you die with so many servants blocking your way? Why don't I give you a hand?"
Shen Xiao then realized that Shen Shu's words meant she wanted to strangle her with her own hands.
Shen Xiao fell off the stool and scrambled forward.
"Why are you running? Don't you want to die? Well, your little sister will grant your wish!"
Shen Shu's fingertips trembled.
At this moment, I really want to just kill her.
Shen Xiao was clearly terrified, crying and screaming, her voice hoarse, "I won't die! I won't die!"
Shen Shu was brought back to her senses by Shen Xiao's scream. She tried her best to suppress the murderous intent in her bones and released the white silk.
When Shen Xiao saw Shen Shu raise her hand, she thought she was going to hit her again.
Startled, she covered her head, "Don't hit me in the face..."
Wen Lanting turned pale with fright and rushed forward to push Shen Shu away, shouting, "You're really crazy! Get out of here right now!"
Shen Xiao could no longer be arrogant at this moment, and hid in Wen Lanting's arms without daring to make a sound.
Shen Shu didn't want to watch them put on this show of maternal love and filial piety, and didn't want to stay a moment longer.
She picked up the white silk ribbon, wiped her hands, and threw it on the ground with utter disgust.
It's okay, take your time.
It would take plenty of time to kill them.
She was determined to ruin this entire family, leaving them with nothing and nothing.
Killing them so easily would be too lenient.
Shen Shu was utterly disgusted with everything here. Instead of returning to the dilapidated courtyard, she slept on the tree where she had previously sought refuge from the fire.
She looked up at the sky through the dappled shadows of the trees.
Her good mother, just wait and see.
Mistreated her, but there will be consequences.
For two days in a row, no one in the Bo Gong Mansion dared to provoke her.
Nobody paid any attention to her, nobody cared about her.
When I get hungry, I go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The servants in the kitchen dared not mistreat them and always served them the best food and drinks.
They were afraid of upsetting Shen Shu and causing her to vent her anger on them.
In the past two days, Shen Shu's reputation has spread throughout the entire mansion, and everyone has reached a tacit understanding.
Even if it offends the Earl, it's better not to offend the Second Miss.
At most, the old master would punish her, but for the second young lady, it would be a matter of life and death!
That day, just as the servants were bringing Shen Shu fresh food, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the kitchen, accompanied by several angry shouts.
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Shu paused. It was her older brother, Chen Lian, who had returned.
"Where is that bitch Shen Shu? Tell her to come out right now!"
Shen Lian, the eldest son of the Bo Gong family, kicked open the kitchen door.
Shen Shu acted quickly, picking up a steamed bun and throwing it out the door, hitting the person right between the eyebrows.
Chen Lian thought it was some kind of hidden weapon, so he reached out and caught it forcefully. The filling of the meat bun burst out and splashed all over his face.
"You bitch, how dare you plot against me?!" He was furious.
It turned out that Shen Lian had been arranging the Ghost Festival rituals at the ancestral temple for the past few days and was unaware of what had happened in the mansion. He only knew that a few days ago, his father had hurriedly brought his sister home.
No further news came from the manor, and Shen Lian assumed it was just a trivial matter that had already been resolved.
It wasn't until Shen Xiao wrote to him, recounting what had happened in the past two days, that he realized his family had been in complete chaos.
So he hurried back, not even having time to tie up his horse, and rode straight to find Shen Shu.
He, the eldest son, is still alive! How can anyone be allowed to bully his father, mother, and sister like this?
Shen Shu continued to pick up food, without even glancing at him.
"You're supposed to be a young master from a prominent family, yet you keep calling someone a 'bitch.' Don't you have any manners at all?"
"You, a country bumpkin, dare to talk to me about manners? Look at the things you've done!"
"I don't care about anything else, but I heard that you tried to strangle Xiao'er with your own hands a couple of days ago. I was away from home these past few days, otherwise, how could you have been so presumptuous!"
Shen Shu then raised her eyes and carefully examined the heavy chain from top to bottom and from left to right.
Her brother was neither good at academics nor martial arts, but he was very strong at bullying his own family.
Chen Lian felt uneasy under her gaze. "What are you looking at! Don't you have any sense of propriety or shame to stare at me like that?"
"Let me tell you, you'd better go and apologize to Xiao'er right now, or I won't be so polite."
After finishing the last bite of her meal, Shen Shu wiped her mouth clean with a handkerchief. "What can you do about it?"
"Are you going to hit me or just kill me? Shen Xiao is your sister, but am I not?"
Chen Lian seemed to have heard a joke.
"You dare call yourself my sister? You're worlds apart from Xiao'er! Why don't you take a good look at yourself? A monster like you with heterochromia only deserves to be..."
He quickly stopped himself; damn it, he almost let it slip.
If that brat finds out they brought her back to curry favor with Prince Cheng, how will he ever succeed!
"Do what?" Shen Shu's eyes were icy, and she knew perfectly well what Shen Lian was about to say.
Chen Lian was taken aback, startled by that look in his eyes.
He immediately became furious, thinking to himself, how could a grown man like himself be frightened by a little girl?
"Of course I'll be trash!"
Shen Shu sneered, "How can I compare to you when it comes to trash? I've heard that you're still idle at home at your age."
"You have done nothing to serve the country or benefit your family. You are still living off your family's money and have the nerve to criticize others. If I were you, I would have already hanged myself."
Chen Lian was struck where it hurt the most and was completely enraged.
He had no official rank or fame, his martial arts skills were mediocre, and he was naturally fond of associating with wealthy young men.
Now they all have positions in the court, but he doesn't, so he is always considered inferior among them.
Now, however, he was scolded by Shen Shu, so how could he not be angry?
"Fine! I see you've become incredibly arrogant, daring to insult me! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
Shen Lian drew his sword and stabbed Shen Shu.
Shen Shu remained calm and prepared, and quickly jumped out of the window.
"You dare to hide! I'm going to kill you today!" Chen Lian was both angry and furious.
The horse that Shen Lian had just ridden was still parked in the courtyard. Shen Shu took one last breath and mounted the horse.
"If you want to kill me, wait until your next life!"
Chen Lian was furious, yelling, "Guards! Chase after them! Bring the horse here!"
