"sister……"
Shu Zhenmeng didn't expect that she had treated Shu Jiaying so badly in the past. Shu Jiaying not only saved her, but also said she wanted to help her. With tears in her eyes, she was so moved that she couldn't say what she wanted to say next.
Shu Jiaying held Shu Zhenmeng's hand tightly. She only said, "Everyone knows it!"
After that, the two sisters stopped talking.
The carriage moved forward slowly. When it arrived at an inn called Ping'an, Shu Jiaying opened the window and asked the coachman to stop.
"Lao Wang, please stop the car here for a while."
"Yes, sir!"
Lao Wang stopped the car in response.
After closing the window, Shu Jiaying instructed Yu Chenfeng again, "Send Lao Wang away. I don't want him to see my sister. My father and Aunt Ke are staying in this inn now. I'll send Zhen Meng to them first."
"Sister, when did Dad and Mom come..."
"Shh!"
Shu Jiaying made a hushing gesture, and Shu Zhenmeng immediately shut her mouth.
After Yu Chenfeng took Lao Wang away, Shu Jiaying brought Shu Zhenmeng into the inn.
As soon as Shu Jiaying entered Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke's house, before she could even open her mouth, Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke pointed at Shu Zhenmeng and scolded her, "Why are you so disobedient? Didn't your general father promise to send you to the palace to marry the emperor? Why did you run away again? And this time you even dragged your sister into this? You're really ridiculous!"
"Go, go back and apologize to your general father. We don't need you to come and see us."
Shu Jiaying immediately stood in front of Shu Zhenmeng and explained on her behalf, "Dad, Aunt Ke, you two shouldn't blame Zhenmeng. She's already felt very wronged."
"Righteous? She refused to accept the title of Imperial Concubine even though she was offered it. What is she wronged about?"
"Auntie Ke, there are some things you don't know, actually..."
"Sister, let me tell you, it's actually me who's greedy and vain. If I hadn't wanted to enjoy a life of wealth and glory in the future, I would have pretended to be your sister and entered the General's Mansion. I wouldn't have ended up like this today.
"Father, Mother... General Zhuang told you I was going to the palace to be a concubine. That was all a lie. How could he be so kind as to help me get into the palace as a concubine? In fact, he was simply taking me to the palace to offer sacrifices to the river gods. If my sister hadn't dived into the river and saved me beforehand, I don't think I would have survived to see you again."
sister……"
In front of Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke, Shu Zhenmeng knelt before Shu Jiaying and sincerely repented, "I'm sorry. I was willful before and shouldn't have bullied you. It's rare that you repay evil with kindness. We are not related by blood, yet you risked your life to save me. I, Shu Zhenmeng, will never forget your kindness. Today, in front of my parents, I swear to you that from now on I will turn over a new leaf and live a down-to-earth life. If I break this oath, I am willing to be struck by lightning!"
"Ooooooooo…Okay, okay, Zhenmeng, please wake up…"
After hearing what happened to Shu Zhenmeng, Mrs. Ke pulled her up sadly.
But Shu Jiaying didn't say anything, and Shu Zhenmeng had no intention of getting up until Shu Jiaying helped her up and nodded.
"Okay, I believe you will live a good life in the future. Remember what I said to you. When you return to Fengyun Town, take good care of Dad and Aunt Ke."
After handing a stack of fifty thousand taels of silver notes to Shu Zhenmeng, Shu Jiaying left. She knew that after this time, they might not meet again for many years, or they might never meet again in this life. But no matter what, she had done something for the original owner of this body. At least she would not have any regrets.
