Less than half an hour after all the servants were taken away, the matter came to a conclusion.
"A maid named Xiaozhen confessed."
The assistant beside Sheng Feng relayed the call from the police station, "She was scolded by Xiaoman once before when she delivered lunch to him, so she held a grudge against him and had evil intentions. She secretly mixed some herbicides into Xiaoman's food, and in order to avoid Xiaoman's sense of smell, she deliberately added odorless herbicides."
"Xiaozhen is now in the police station, crying and begging for a chance to admit her mistakes."
"Ridiculous!" Sheng Feng snorted coldly and ordered his assistant immediately: "I don't want to hear any news about this person getting better."
The assistant immediately understood and nodded: "Yes, I will arrange for the best lawyer to come over."
After saying that, the assistant stepped aside and went to make a phone call.
"Little Kite."
Sheng Feng looked at Sheng Yuan who was sitting on the other side of the sofa. The majestic aura in his eyes disappeared, and automatically transformed into the endless kindness of an elder looking at a younger person. He said, "Xiao Yuan, don't worry, Second Uncle will definitely make the decision for you."
"These servants were so incompetent this time that they cannot be kept. Later, I will personally order people to find you a better group of servants. I guarantee that such things will never happen again."
Sheng Yuan had been sitting quietly the whole time. When she heard Sheng Feng's words, she raised her thin white eyelids and replied in a calm voice, "Thank you, Second Uncle. Everything is up to you."
Sheng Feng nodded, looked at Sheng Yuan, and sighed: "Xiao Yuan, why do you look thinner again? Did you not eat well, or is the food cooked by the chef at home not to your taste? Do you want your second uncle to change a few chefs for you?"
"No." Sheng Yuan said, "I just don't feel like eating."
"How can you not eat? You are growing up now," Sheng Feng said worriedly, "Xiao Yuan, you are the only bloodline left by my eldest brother, and you are also his most beloved granddaughter. Now he is gone. If I don't take good care of you, in the future - how can I have the face to see him..."
As Sheng Feng spoke, his face was filled with self-blame. Anyone who saw him at this moment could sense the guilt in him.
Sheng Yuan: "It's my fault, Second Uncle, I will eat well."
Sheng Feng was relieved: "That's good, that's good, this is a good child, today, Second Uncle will accompany you to have dinner before returning to Xiangyang District."
At this time, the assistant came back from the phone call and heard Sheng Feng's words. He reminded him in a low voice: "No, Mr. Sheng, you have a project meeting in the company waiting for you to host in three and a half hours."
Sheng Feng said directly, not allowing for refusal: "Postpone it."
The assistant hesitated: "...Yes."
On the dining table.
There is a wide variety of dishes.
"Xiao Yuan, eat more."
Sheng Feng sat in the main seat, and from time to time he signaled the butler to pick up some food for Sheng Yuan. Only when he saw Sheng Yuan eat a little more did he reveal a look of satisfaction and relief in his eyes.
Eat half of it.
Sheng Feng brought up another topic: "Xiao Yuan, you can't lock yourself up in the house all day. Your cousin Sheng Yi is back from abroad. Can I ask her to take you out to relax?"
Sheng Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks paused.
More than a year ago, a cruise ship accident occurred.
Sheng Yuan wakes up from a coma and develops survivor syndrome after learning that something happened to her family.
She believed that the party she had been given to celebrate her winning the gold medal for violin playing indirectly led to the death of her parents, several elders and two brothers. As a result, she developed a severe sense of self-loathing and from then on she would feel physically nauseous when she saw her cello.
She received psychological treatment for several months, and even to this day, she still has to rely on medication to stabilize her emotions.
Except for going to the hospital to visit her seriously injured brother Sheng Qi, Sheng Yuan locked herself in the house with the curtains closed, blocking out the sunlight.
At that time, Sheng Feng pried open the door lock and comforted Sheng Yuan in the same gentle voice: "Xiao Yuan, it's not good to lock yourself up. Cousin Sheng Yi likes you very much, and Second Uncle asked her to take you out to play and relax."
The place where they went to relax that time was a manor with the most primitive hunting ground next to it.
Then that night, they went hunting.
In the wooden house during the intermission.
Sheng Yi told Sheng Yuan that she wanted to go to the bathroom and asked Sheng Yuan to wait for her there for a while and she would be back soon.
Because she didn't dare to go alone, Sheng Yi took the security guard with her.
After that, they never came back.
Sheng Yuan stayed in the wooden house all night.
And outside the wooden house.
They were surrounding a group of wolves that had just been released from the quarantine area, so close that they could hear their breathing through the thin wooden boards.
They also seemed to have discovered Sheng Yuan's presence.
Out of prey instinct.
They also stayed outside all night, ready to make various moves, and gradually dispersed at dawn.
At this time.
Then someone found Sheng Yuan in the wooden house.
Sheng Yuan did not cry or make a fuss. She just moved her numb legs, staggered to her feet and followed the people out. In the bushes near the door, she found a dying wolf cub that had been abandoned because of its frailty.
Sheng Yuan picked up the wolf cub, wrapped it in her arms, and took it home.
When Sheng Feng learned about this, he became furious.
Sheng Feng was originally out of town discussing business, but he rushed back in a hurry and made Sheng Yi kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. He even used family rules and beat Sheng Yi's back personally, leaving it covered in blood.
Sheng Feng reprimanded Sheng Yi for not taking good care of his sister, asking him how he could be worthy of the spirits of his elder brother and several younger generations who loved Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yi cried and explained that she was just playing around, and on the way back from the bathroom she met a friend and wanted to walk together, so she asked the security guard beside her to pick up Sheng Yuan.
But the security guard was new to the job. He was frightened by the wolves and ran away. Afterwards, he thought that this was a serious mistake in his work and did not dare to report it. He was confused and told everyone that Miss Sheng Yuan had been sent back to her room to rest.
After being anxious for nearly a whole night, the security officer finally couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth and reported the matter to his superiors.
After hearing the whole story, Sheng Feng became even angrier.
Beat Sheng Yi even harder.
Even in this state, Sheng Yi was not allowed to receive medical treatment until he had been punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights.
No matter how Sheng Yi's parents pleaded, it was of no use.
At that time, everyone was saying that Mr. Sheng was very angry, and they were also discussing that Mr. Sheng valued Sheng Yuan, his eldest brother's granddaughter, more than his own granddaughter.
…
Seeing Sheng Yuan didn't say anything.
Sheng Feng also knew that the child was thinking about what happened in the past, so he assured her righteously, "Xiao Yuan, that incident was the fault of Second Uncle. He did not discipline cousin Sheng Yi well. You don't have to bear any psychological burden. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive cousin Sheng Yi. Just treat her as a friend who can accompany you for fun and be available at any time."
Sheng Yuan said: "No, I'm just too lazy to go out now."
