Chapter 129 Shen Nian comes forward
Shen Ning finally told Shen Qingbai about her family's visit, and Shen Qingbai returned that night.
Several months passed, and the young man was no longer as weak as before, and his aura became steady and restrained.
Shen Qingbai smiled and said to Shen Ning, "Finding your biological parents is a good thing. Why are you feeling a little sad?"
Shen Ning spoke frankly: "Although I know in my heart that they are blood relatives, but their sudden appearance always feels a little unreal, like a dream. Moreover, without the affection of being together day and night, I always feel very alienated."
Shen Qingbai nodded: "This is normal. What do you think now, sister?"
Shen Ning was silent for a moment, then said: "Mrs. Shen wants me to return to Beijing with her. I can feel her feelings for me, but to be honest, I don't yearn for the capital. All my familiar relatives and friends are here... I don't really want to go, but I can't bear to make her sad."
The look in Xie Yunqing's eyes when he looked at her was so heartbreaking that Shen Ning felt really sorry for him, which was why she hesitated.
Otherwise, she would never leave the place she is familiar with with her relatives who suddenly appeared.
Shen Qingbai said docilely, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you. If you want to stay, this is still our home. If you want to go to the capital, I can go with you... I will never let you leave alone."
Money is no longer a problem for them now, and Shen Qingbai will not be hypocritical and think that he should not pester Shen Ning.
He knew that although he and Shen Ning were not related by blood, they were close relatives. Wherever Shen Ning was, he was there, and that was their home.
No matter what choice Shen Ning makes, he will accompany her.
The young man was always quiet, and at this moment, the words he spoke were also calm and peaceful, but Shen Ning felt much more at ease because of his words.
Shen Qingbai suggested: "Sister, you don't have to deliberately get close to or distance yourself from Madam Shen. After all, she is your biological mother. Sister, just get along with her as you wish... It's not too late to make a decision at the last moment."
Shen Ning seemed to suddenly understand: "Yes, you are right, just let it go and follow your heart."
That was why, the next morning, she made some appetizing and refreshing side dishes and went to Xu's house to visit Xie Yunqing.
Xie Yunqing was already weak and exhausted from the long journey. When he saw her, he burst into tears and fell ill.
She didn't let anyone tell Shen Ning, because she didn't want to be sick as soon as she saw her daughter, and was worried that it would cause trouble for Shen Ning, but the maid beside her couldn't bear it and secretly ran to tell Shen Ning.
"Miss, please go see Madam. Madam is afraid of annoying you and doesn't dare to call you over, but I know that Madam misses you very much."
The maid's eyes were red. "Over the years, every year on the eldest lady's birthday, the lady would cry for a long time. She really cares about you, but she also feels that it is because she failed to protect you that you have suffered so much. She feels very guilty... She, she really loves you."
Shen Ning responded to her: "I'll go later."
The maid then breathed a sigh of relief and went back.
Not long after, Shen Ning took Qiyue to Xu's house. The food box in Qiyue's hand contained the side dishes made by Shen Ning.
Xie Yunqing lived in the west courtyard, next to Xu Zhiyi's yard, separated from the Xu family's backyard. Shen Ning walked along the corridor to the back, and just as she turned around a bunch of flowers, she suddenly heard Shen Nian's voice.
On the other side of the flowers, Shen Nian was a little nervous, but she still forced herself to be calm and looked at Xu Ying: "Miss Xu, I already know what you said about my sister to Sister Wanqing yesterday."
Xu Ying was originally a little afraid of this daughter of the Honglu Temple Minister in the capital, but she had learned yesterday that Shen Nian was adopted. Seeing Shen Nian's timid appearance, her arrogance immediately returned to normal.
“So what? Everything I said is true. Why can’t Miss Shen listen to the truth?”
Shen Nian pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, don't ever say anything bad about my sister again, or I will never let you go."
Xu Ying was amused by this cowardly young lady. She sneered: "As long as it's the truth, I have to say it. Your sister Chen Ning is a shameless slut. She just relies on..."
“Bang!”
Xu Ying was slapped in the face by Shen Nian, and her eyes were filled with disbelief: “You dare to hit me!”
Shen Nian stuttered, "Who taught you to speak rudely to my sister? You...ah..."
Seeing Xu Ying raise her hand to slap her, Shen Nian was so scared that she hugged her head and closed her eyes. However, the expected slap did not fall. Shen Nian subconsciously opened her eyes and saw Shen Ning holding Xu Ying's arm with one hand and slapping Xu Ying with the other hand.
"You really don't remember anything. This is the first time I've seen someone asking for a beating like this."
Shen Ning sneered: "Come, repeat exactly what you just said in front of me."
Xu Ying was slapped by the two sisters one by one. She was so angry that her face turned pale and red. She almost bit her teeth off, but she didn't dare to fight again.
Not to mention that she dared to fight back just now because she relied on Shen Nian's appearance of being easy to bully, and she was an adopted daughter, but she didn't dare to try it again when facing Shen Ning.
She knew that Shen Ning really dared to teach her a lesson without any regard for her feelings.
"You, you guys just wait!"
Xu Ying said something harsh and turned around, but she was caught off guard and bumped into the maid behind her... The maid quickly stepped back, and Xu Ying slapped her hard: "Are you blind?"
The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud.
Shen Nian couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she pursed her lips and said, "Miss Xu, why do you have to take your anger out on an innocent servant?"
"Oh, you are as hypocritical as your sister."
Xu Ying seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She raised her hand and slapped the maid in the face again: "I hit my own servant, what does it have to do with you?"
In the blink of an eye, the maid was beaten from both sides, with her nose and face swollen and her mouth bleeding, but she didn't dare to dodge.
Shen Nian pulled Shen Ning’s sleeve with a look of reluctance: “Sister.”
Shen Ning frowned and looked at Xu Ying, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Xu, servants are also human beings. Be kind and leave a way out for them. Being too vicious will definitely backfire."
Xu Ying looked at the appearance of the two sisters Shen Ning and felt extremely pleased: "Excuse me, she is not only a servant but also a slave who sold her body... Is a slave also considered a human being?"
She kicked the maid directly: "Are you human?"
The maidservant was obviously terrified and knelt down directly: "I am not a human being, I am a lowly slave. Please, please forgive me, young lady..."
The exposed part of the forearm of the maid lying on the ground was covered with purple scars, and at first glance, there was not a single good spot on it.
Shen Nian wanted to say something, but Shen Ning pulled her back: “Let’s go.”
The more they tried to dissuade her, the more excited Xu Ying became. If they stayed here, not only would they not be able to help the maid, but they would cause her to suffer more beatings.
Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening, stopped talking, and followed Shen Ning away obediently.
Behind her, Xu Ying was still deliberately shouting at Shen Ning's back: "Bring the whip, this lady is going to teach this lowly bastard a lesson today, this lowly and broke bastard..."
On the ground, the little maidservant knelt there, staring at the ground, her eyes filled with overwhelming hatred...
