Chapter 55 Chapter 55 "Sister Yun, forgive me."...
Shu Yun returned to the Shen Mansion with Chen Zhao in silence. Everything was unfamiliar. Her father was elegant and dignified. Her mother looked very much like her, looking at her with tears in her eyes. There was also a dignified woman holding a child, who must be her brother's wife.
Mrs. Zhou hadn't seen her daughter in eighteen years. She hugged her daughter tightly, looked at her carefully, and said with a sob, "My child, you have suffered a lot these years."
"Mother." Shuyun's eyes turned red, tears fell uncontrollably, and she hugged her biological mother tightly.
Mrs. Zhou held her daughter in her arms, her frail body looking fragile. If she had insisted on staying in Beijing more than ten years ago and not given up until she found her daughter, the situation today would not be what it is today.
Mrs. Zhou: "It is because of my mother that I have wronged you that I have brought you back today."
Shuyun shook her head and wiped the tears from her mother's face with a handkerchief. "Don't say that, Mother. I know everything. You had no choice back then. If I hadn't left, I don't know if I would have survived. I don't blame you, or anyone else."
"Dad, Mom, brother, and sister-in-law." Shu Yun looked at her relatives in the hall one by one with tearful eyes. "I am most happy to return to the Shen family and recognize my ancestors."
Chen Yanzhi, who usually doesn't cry easily, had tears in his eyes. He walked towards Shuyun, put his arm around his daughter's shoulder, and patted her gently, "My child, you've suffered."
Chen Yanzhi said: "Let's not talk about the past."
The family was harmonious, and the mother and daughter slowly wiped away their tears.
Chen Zhao introduced Shu Yun: "Sister, that's your eldest sister-in-law, Liu Sijin."
Liu Sijin smiled and said, "Sister."
"Sister-in-law." Shu Yun bowed and looked at the child in Liu Sijin's arms. The child was small, with bright black eyes, smiling at Shu Yun.
Shu Yun asked, "Is it a nephew or a niece?"
"My little nephew, one year and four months old."
"So cute." Shu Yun raised her lips. The nephew in the cradle looked at her with a smile that never stopped. He stretched out his little hands, wanting her to hold him.
Shu Yun was a little at a loss, "I, I don't know how to hold a baby."
Liu Sijin said, "Sister, you don't know, this child hides in my arms when he sees a stranger. Sister, you are the first one who doesn't hide and instead smiles when he sees a stranger."
Shuyun smiled faintly, and she was quite likable.
Madam Zhou took Shuyun back to her room and settled her down. She said that the Shen family's child would be raised by the Shen family, and that she didn't want any of the things in the Marquis' Mansion anymore. From now on, the Shen family would take care of the child.
"Mother has been waiting to find you. Every time your father moved to a new place, we would always leave a room for you to live in. Mother has finally waited for you to come back."
Mrs. Zhou spoke, her eyes tearing up again as she thought of the past eighteen years, which had been too much for her. Crying was not the proper thing to do on such a happy occasion. She lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and held Shuyun's hand tightly.
"Mother, I have been looking for you since I learned about my life story. I went to Nanzhou and saw the covered bridge built by father in Jinyang County." Shuyun and Madam Zhou sat on the couch. The room was elegantly decorated with a desk and a piano stand. Spring flowers were placed in the vase, full of vitality, as if someone had always lived there.
Madam Zhou followed her gaze and pointed, saying, "That desk was made by your brother."
"Brother's cooking skills are really good." Shuyun exclaimed, leaning on her mother.
"Back then, your brother wasn't with mother. When he was released from prison, he was overjoyed to learn that mother had given him a sister. He was so happy, but fate played a trick on him and he didn't find you."
Madam Zhou patted her gently, as if coaxing a child. Through Siqin's mouth, they all knew what Shuyun had experienced with Xiao Ye, but they all tacitly did not mention it.
The window was half open, and a cool breeze blew in from outside. Mrs. Zhou raised her hand to rub her aching head, and the nanny beside her hurried to the window to close it.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head and indicated that it was not necessary.
Shuyun was puzzled, "Mother, what's wrong?"
The nanny said, "Madam has a headache and cannot stand the cool breeze."
"The spring wind is still chilly, let's close the window." Shuyun stretched out her hand and rubbed Mrs. Zhou's forehead with her fingertips, "Yun'er, rub it for me."
Mrs. Zhou patted the back of Shuyun's hand.
After staying in the house for a long time, when it was time for dinner, the mother and daughter went to the dining room together.
There was a wide variety of dishes. Shuyun's parents, brothers and sister-in-law loved her very much and took turns putting dishes into her bowl. The bowl was piled with food like a mountain and Shuyun could hardly eat any more.
After dinner, the brother and sister talked in the attic.
Shu Yun saw the jade pendant on Chen Zhao's waist and suddenly remembered that she also had one. She took out the jade pendant she had been wearing on her chest and said, "He said this is my mother's jade pendant."
Speaking of Xiao Ye, Chen Zhao frowned, "This is the jade pendant that my brother left for my sister."
He took off the jade ring he had carried with him for many years. The jade pendant fit perfectly inside the ring. "Two pieces of jade, from the same source. I picked them out specially after I knew my mother was pregnant. One for me and one for my sister."
It was Xiao Ye who went with him to the jade shop to choose, and Xiao Ye also gave him some advice.
I was young and ignorant at that time, and I made the wrong playmates.
Xiao Ye's father has caused great harm to the Shen family. Shen Zhao will no longer be friends with Xiao Ye, and will never let his sister have anything to do with that man again.
Those punches I threw today were not strong enough.
Shuyun carefully treasured the jade pendant and put it back into her clothes.
As it got darker, Shuyun returned to her dormitory. Perhaps because she was not used to sleeping on the new bed, she did not feel sleepy for a long time.
I don’t know how serious Xiao Ye’s injury is. He can’t see, and this time Fu Feng is the one who treats his wound. I don’t know if he is used to it.
Shu Yun had been entangled with Xiao Ye for so long. At first, she pretended to be friendly with him, but later she broke up with him and had a huge fight with him. Finally, in Nanzhou, she escaped several times but was still found by him. So after he suffered from insomnia, she was tired and didn't want to live like this anymore. She tried to get along well with him and reconcile with herself at the same time.
In order to save her, Xiao Ye was seriously injured and even lost his sight.
Shuyun sighed, feeling a lump in her heart. She turned over in bed, but still couldn't sleep.
The night watchman's voice was heard, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
…
The next morning, Shuyun was woken up by her maid, washed and dressed, and went to the ancestral hall with her father.
She paid homage to all the ancestors of the Shen family and formally acknowledged her ancestry.
Shuyun's name was chosen based on the Shu generation name of the Xiao family. Chen Yanzhi removed the Shu character and finally kept the Yun character, Shen Yun.
Shuyun never expected that the fake name she chose on the passport would be her future name.
Over here, a group of people came out of the ancestral hall, and the gatekeeper came to announce, "Master, Master, the Marquis of Anlu has brought something and is here to apologize."
"What kind of person is he? We didn't come to settle accounts with him, but he came to our door and refused to see us." Chen Zhao was extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ye and waved his hand and ordered, "Send him away, send him away. If he shows up again in the future, don't pay any attention to him."
The doorman glanced at the master's face, and Chen Yanzhi nodded, indicating that he should do as he was told.
"I understand." The doorman left.
Shuyun clasped her hands in her sleeves, feeling depressed.
Yes, they are enemies, her parents and brother will not stand against Xiao Ye, and even her own heart has begun to waver.
The temperature in spring is fickle. It may be sunny during the day, but at night, there will be a cold wind, it will rain, and the temperature will drop.
The sudden drop in temperature caught Mrs. Zhou off guard, and she caught a cold and fell ill. She lay on the couch, covered with a thick quilt, looking tired and weak, with no energy.
Shuyun served by her side, took the medicine bowl from the maid and helped her mother take the medicine.
Madam Zhou smiled faintly on her pale and frail face and said weakly, "It's just an old ailment. It's nothing serious. I'm sorry to have made my Yun'er worried."
Shu Yun said, "Yun'er is also weak and often gets sick when the seasons change. From now on, my daughter will be by my side, so let her take care of me."
After taking the medicine, Mrs. Zhou gradually became sleepy. Shuyun helped her lie down, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and tiptoed out of the room.
Liu Sijin came to find Shuyun with her son in her arms and asked with concern, "Are you used to living here?"
Shu Yun smiled and nodded, "I'm used to everything."
Shuyun picked up the rattle and amused her smiling little nephew. The child was white, chubby, and adorable, looking just like a doll in a New Year picture.
The little baby reached out and grasped the small round beads hanging from the rattle with his soft fingers.
Her sister-in-law and she sat in the flower pavilion for half the afternoon.
Chen Zhao returned from his duty. Today he met Xiao Ye in the court. The blind man had regained his sight and wanted to return the cat that Shuyun had raised in the marquis' mansion to Shuyun.
It's just a cat. If Shuyun wants to keep it, he, as her brother, will buy it for her. Chen Zhao refused Xiao Ye's offer to send the cat to the Shen family because he was in a very bad mood after seeing Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye did such a bad thing to Shu Yun, but he still dared to provoke Shu Yun. Xiao Ye used to bully Shu Yun and no one protected her. Now, their Shen family is Yun'er's support and they are not afraid of Xiao Ye.
When Chen Zhao returned home and learned that his mother had caught a cold, he took this opportunity to cut off Shu Yun's sympathy.
What do you mean Xiao Ye also helped the Shen family? If Xiao Ye's father hadn't framed the Shen family
Chen Zhao went to Shu Yun's yard, and Shu Yun poured him a cup of tea.
Shen Zhao said: "Mother is sick today."
Shuyun looked at him, not quite understanding the meaning of his words, and waited for him to continue.
"Sister, right after I gave birth to you, soldiers arrived at the Shen family's house. I was thrown into prison right after giving birth, and from then on, I became ill. I lived like this for eighteen years. And Dad, his bright future was ruined just like that. He was demoted to Nanzhou, where he stayed in a small county town for two years before moving to many other places."
Shen Zhao said earnestly, "Sister, you can't be soft-hearted towards Xiao Ye. He is the son of your enemy. Brother and he were good friends before, but we should have ended things a long time ago."
Shu Yun's eyes dimmed a little. She lowered her head, pinched her fingers, and said in a muffled voice, "I will listen to my brother."
Shen Zhao looked at her and said calmly, "Good girl."
Chen Zhao finished the tea and left. Shu Yun saw him out of the room and came back to sit on the stool in a depressed mood.
She lowered her head and pinched her fingers, feeling extremely depressed.
She shouldn't have any feelings for Xiao Ye anymore. Shu Yun felt a pang of bitterness on the tip of her nose, and she didn't allow herself to miss him anymore.
Mrs. Zhou's cold gradually got better after taking medicine for two days. Shuyun stayed in the house and chatted with her mother to relieve her boredom.
On this day, Xiao Ye actually came to the Marquis's residence to apologize.
Xiao Ye looked at Shen Yanzhi and said sincerely, "I know that my father framed Uncle Shen. My father is dead, and I have to bear his faults."
On the steps, Chen Yanzhi looked at the young man who was asking for forgiveness. He hated Xiao Song and could not forgive him.
Chen Yanzhi was very puzzled. It had been more than ten years since the Tongtian Tower incident, so why was it suddenly mentioned? The old case was reopened, and Xiao Song, one of the masterminds behind the incident, was caught?
Later, Chen Yanzhi asked Liang Meng, who risked his life to expose the matter in front of His Majesty, and found out that it was Xiao Ye who helped him with advice and suggestions, and it was also Xiao Ye who sacrificed his own family for the sake of justice.
Xiao Ye said, "Uncle Shen, you can beat me or scold me as you please. I have no complaints."
Shen Yanzhi was silent, his eyes were complicated.
Shuyun and Shen Zhao were in the house with their mother. When they heard about this, they came out of the inner house to the front yard together and watched the man who was carrying a thorny stick to apologize from afar.
"What tricks is this guy playing again?" Shen Zhao muttered as he walked over.
Shu Yun frowned slightly and followed Shen Zhao. When passing by, she was suddenly grabbed by the man.
"Sister Yun." Xiao Ye looked at Shu Yun, his cold eyebrows drooped slightly, looking very humble. He handed a dagger to Shu Yun.
Shu Yun was suddenly startled, and before she could react, Xiao Ye took her hand holding the dagger and stabbed at her.
The sharp blade stabbed into the chest, blood gushed out, Shu Yun's pupils constricted, and she hurriedly pulled out the dagger, her voice a little louder, "What are you doing?!"
Chen Yanzhi held back Chen Zhao who was about to go over and shook his head to signal.
The dagger, shining with a cold light, was stained with bright blood. The tip, only as long as a fingernail, pierced into his chest. However, Xiao Ye held Shu Yun's hand tightly and stabbed the dagger again.
Shu Yun couldn't let go of his hand, so she had to step back, trying to get away from him. Xiao Ye knelt on the ground, his knees following her movements step by step.
She retreated, he advanced.
Xiao Ye: "My methods are despicable. I forced Sister Yun into a corner. I am filthy and despicable. I feel sorry for you."
Shu Yun's hands were covered in blood. She thought he was crazy and tried to shake his hand off. Xiao Ye held it tightly and looked at her, saying, "Sister Yun, forgive me."
With every word he spoke, the dagger moved closer to his chest.
