After resting for two hours, Shen Yuan visibly recovered.
But the moment he stepped out of the room, he returned to his previous listless state.
Bai Sang followed behind him without saying a word.
As soon as Bai Sang stepped out of the guest building and saw the steward, she spoke.
"Young Master, you should take good care of your health from now on. Look, you can't even go to class when you're sick."
The butler frowned.
Bai Sang continued speaking as if she hadn't seen anything.
"You're doing this to betray Madam's good intentions."
The butler's expression softened considerably.
"Xiao Bai, take the young master to the restaurant first."
Bai Sang nodded and turned to look at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan walked toward the restaurant with a cold face.
After taking a few steps, Shen Yuan stopped, as if he had remembered something.
My pen is broken.
The butler stood ramrod straight. "It was my fault, young master. Please come to my place tonight to collect it."
In modern families, they still call each other "old servants."
Bai Sang lowered her head and pursed her lips.
Dining room.
Mrs. Chen was already seated in the chair.
She was gazing at her fingertips, painted with red nail polish, with an air of elegance.
"I heard you're sick."
Shen Yuan remained silent.
"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"
In private, Mrs. Chen never hid her disgust for Shen Yuan.
"Why didn't you drown yourself? How are you still alive?"
The fleeting glint of coldness in her eyes made Bai Sang clench her fists involuntarily.
Shen Yuan suddenly looked up at Mrs. Chen.
"Because you haven't given birth to a son yet, I dare not die."
“I’m afraid that if I die, the Chen family line will end.”
"Your life..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Chen stepped forward and slapped him across the face.
Shen Yuan endured it all.
At that time, he was not yet capable of resisting.
He can't let his persona crumble, and he can't let Bai Sang's supernatural quest fail because of him.
Holy crap, this stepmother is truly wicked.
[A slap! That bastard got slapped! It wasn't my sister Sang who slapped him, but why do I feel so terrible?]
That bastard's mouth is something else; he looks like a silent killer, but he's a real wolf in sheep's clothing.
[That wasn't a good enough rebuke. In my opinion, she should have jumped up and given him ten big slaps in return.]
Why isn't Sister Sang making a move?
[The rules require them to maintain their established persona.]
Shen Yuan touched his face, glanced at Bai Sang, and lowered his head.
"I heard my dad will be back soon, right?"
Mrs. Chen paused for a moment and looked at Bai Sang.
"What are you all standing there for? Take the young master downstairs to reduce the swelling!"
Bai Sang quickly nodded and pulled Shen Yuan, who still wanted to speak, away.
She took a damp handkerchief and applied it to Shen Yuan's face. The two looked at each other, and Shen Yuan pushed Bai Sang out the door.
"Get out, get out, get far away from here."
Bai Sang pretended to call out "Young Master, open the door!" a few times, and then hurriedly ran to find Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen paused, her hand still holding her coffee.
"Let him make a scene. If he makes a big fuss, the master will only favor me."
Bai Sang immediately nodded, "Madam is right, then I'll tell the kitchen not to interfere and let him cause trouble."
Mrs. Chen sighed.
"Luckily, you're thinking of me, otherwise I would have been driven to my death by that wretched child long ago."
Bai Sang inwardly rolled her eyes at her.
"What are you saying, Madam? If I don't favor you, who else would I favor?"
Bai Sang's gaze swept over the imposing figure hidden behind the display case behind Mrs. Chen, and he continued speaking.
"Madam, don't be too anxious. The most important thing right now is for your husband to have another son."
Mrs. Chen, oblivious to the person behind her, sneered, "Give birth to a son?"
"The Chen family tricked me into coming here; they have no real intentions whatsoever..."
The words of resentment came to an abrupt end.
"Forget it, why should I tell you all this?"
"I know you're loyal. Alright, you can leave now. Don't give him any food tonight."
Bai Sang responded with a "yes" and turned to leave.
The Chen couple's life is not harmonious.
No wonder you want to spend a long time with Teacher Mo.
As soon as Bai Sang stepped out of the main building, he heard the sound of something being smashed behind him.
She smiled contentedly and headed towards the kitchen.
"Young master, please open the door. I've already spoken to Madam; you're not getting any dinner."
Bai Sang's words silenced Shen Yuan, who was making a ruckus in the kitchen, for a moment.
After a while, he opened the door.
"Young master, don't go against Madam. Just listen to her."
Shen Yuan stared at Bai Sang, then suddenly grabbed her collar and dragged her aside.
“Your dad is here. He heard that woman complaining, and she was just throwing things around.”
Shen Yuan carefully controlled his strength and murmured an "Mmm".
When Bai Sang was dragged into the guest building, she vaguely saw a figure standing on the second-floor terrace.
The distance was too great for Bai Sang to see the person's eyes clearly.
But she could sense that the man was very satisfied with Shen Yuan's actions.
To be fair, Shen Yuan's action was quite violent.
Was that person satisfied because he wanted Shen Yuan to become violent and ruthless?
Who is up there?
Bai Sang lowered her voice.
"That man's dog."
Shen Yuan's voice was calm and composed, "Ignore him. When you get out, remember to cry and say I hit you."
Bai Sang nodded.
After returning to his room and resting for a while, Bai Sang howled at the top of his lungs for a while before sitting down to drink water, rest, and eat.
