As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Dong was about to kneel down and apologize to her when she saw Shen Qiyin pick up her cup of tea and splash it at Shen Ruyin!
The latter, with his head covered in water and his face covered in tea leaves, could no longer contain himself and immediately shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Shen Qiyin looked at her calmly: "Isn't she alright? She didn't get burned to death."
"you……"
"And also, you'll have to pay for the broken teacup."
Shen Ruyin was so angry that she went crazy.
She stomped her foot angrily and turned to leave.
Shen Qiyin watched her departing figure with indifference, the coldness in his eyes even greater than the autumn night outside the window.
Tonight, it should be Ren Dong's turn to keep watch outside, but as autumn arrives, the weather is getting colder and colder. Shen Qiyin would not let her suffer from the cold, so she told her to rest with her in the inner room.
She woke up the next morning before dawn.
In fact, she didn't sleep much that night. Every time she closed her eyes, she would think of her past lives, which made her unable to fall asleep.
As she sat at her dressing table doing her makeup, she looked at her own clear and serene eyes in the mirror and couldn't help but recall what Qin Li had once told her.
—I admire your eyes; they seem as calm as a spring, but in reality, they are deep and turbulent.
—You and I are the same kind of people, both crazy, except you are more patient than me, you are a wonderful person, I am waiting to see the day you tear off your disguise.
She raised her hand to touch her eyebrows and eyes, her expression sorrowful.
Actually, Qin clerical script is correct.
She's crazy.
She hated her grandmother who despised her, her father who ignored her, and her mother who beat and scolded her... She hated every member of the Shen family who mocked, ridiculed, and humiliated her, wishing they were all dead!
But she couldn't do that, or even show the slightest displeasure, because she was her daughter, and all of this was what she deserved.
So she gritted her teeth and endured those punishments. She wanted to get her father out of prison and prove to them all that she was no less capable than her brothers and sisters, and that she could be just as useful.
The result is that they will squeeze every last bit of value out of her and then discard her like trash!
She even considered throwing rat poison into the well to kill them!
But that won't work.
She also has honeysuckle to take care of.
Having been given a second chance at life, she only wants to do three things.
First, they killed everyone in the Shen family.
Second, raise her honeysuckle until it's plump and healthy.
Third, the above two points should be carried out simultaneously. If there is a conflict, the second point takes priority.
Banxia stood behind Shen Qiyin as she did her hair and makeup, feeling the chilling aura emanating from her, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
She felt that her mistress had been acting strangely these past two days. Although she hadn't been particularly harsh or stern, she was still terrified and dared not bully Ren Dong again. She was thinking that she should go see the old lady later.
Shen Qiyin naturally knew that Banxia would eventually complain to the old lady about her actions, but she didn't care; on the contrary, she was afraid that Banxia wouldn't go.
Her grandmother is currently overwhelmed with worry about her father's imprisonment. If Banxia dares to bother her with such a trivial matter, she's likely to end up losing more than she gains.
After having breakfast, Shen Qiyin took Rendong out the door.
Shen Ruyin arrived before her.
Despite the unpleasant argument yesterday, when she saw Shen Qiyin again today, she acted as if nothing had happened, greeting her with smiles and laughter as usual.
The two boarded the carriage one after the other. The curtain fell, and the carriage drove steadily out of the city.
The clatter of horses' hooves mingled with the occasional cry of a wild goose cutting through the clear sky.
The journey from Shen's residence to Jing'an Temple took more than an hour by carriage. Shen Ruyin, bored from sitting there, started chattering on and on.
"Sister doesn't look well. Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Hmm." Just thinking about them makes me feel nauseous and keeps me awake at night.
"Is my sister worried about Father?"
"Hmm." She was worried he wouldn't be able to die in prison as he wished.
"My sister is also very worried, but I heard that Mother has found a way, hopefully it will be helpful."
"Hmm..." That's not a way out, it's a dead end.
Surprised that the usually gentle and quiet Shen Qiyin had become unusually cold, Shen Ruyin tentatively changed the subject: "Sister's attire today is so elegant, unlike her usual flamboyant and passionate style."
Today, Shen Qiyin was dressed in a moon-white "Smoke and Water Fairy Dress," with the jade-white skirt representing water and the vine-green shawl representing smoke. A jade hairpin adorned her hair, making her look very elegant.
But in fact, she used to only love scarlet, and her bright red dresses were flamboyant and beautiful.
It seemed that only in this way would her parents notice her.
Now she wears plain colors not because she wants to be pretentious, but because the last thing she saw before she died in her previous life was the moon in the sky, which only cared about shining on people's reunions, while it was cold, lonely and all alone, just like her.
While Shen Ruyin was still muttering something, Shen Qiyin simply closed her eyes.
I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense.
So, for the rest of the journey, Shen Ruyin wisely refrained from speaking again.
As the carriage approached the foot of Jing'an Temple, Shen Qiyin suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, which made her heart pound with tension.
Whether it was because the travelers were urging their horses too fast or because their horses were too aggressive, the horses pulling the Shen family's cart were startled.
The horse neighed and uncontrollably swerved to the side of the road.
The carriage swayed, and Shen Qiyin quickly grabbed the side of the carriage to steady herself.
As the dark blue curtain by the window swayed, she caught a glimpse of a figure riding past outside the carriage, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
Shen Qiyin gripped the window frame tightly.
That is...
She carefully recalled what she knew from her past life, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the destination.
