Just as Shen Siqi's slap was about to land on Shen Yunxi's face, Shen Yunxi raised her hand and grabbed Shen Siqi's wrist before it could touch her face.
"Seventh Sister, I'm not the Sixth Sister you used to bully who didn't dare to speak up anymore. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you barged into my courtyard, woke me up, and even tried to hit me. Tsk tsk tsk, look at me now, still looking like a pushover, easy to bully?" Shen Yunxi said with a smile.
To be honest, after letting go of everything, she felt much more relaxed and no longer needed to worry about those messy things.
She's just a cousin, not a biological sister, yet she dares to act so arrogantly and overbearingly.
"Let go of me! Shen Yunxi, you bitch, you'll die a horrible death! You're just a..." Shen Siqi roared angrily, but the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
"Smack!"
With a loud slap, a bright red handprint appeared on Shen Siqi's face, completely stunning her.
Shen Yunxi released Shen Siqi's hand and gently moved her own wrist.
Tsk, I didn't expect it to be so easy to hit someone with their own hand. I used so much force and there was a clear handprint on their face, but my own hand was completely unharmed.
"Seventh Sister, don't blame me for hitting you, it's just that you shouldn't have said those things. Think about it, I'm the Empress Dowager's favorite, and you dared to scold me. The Empress Dowager always praises me. In that case, aren't your words contradicting the Empress Dowager's words? You can't bear the blame for that. I'm helping you, so don't thank me too much."
After saying that, Shen Yunxi walked a few steps forward with a smile and sat down at the table.
Breakfast is now laid out on the table. She had just slapped Shen Siqi's face with her own hand, and she had used force after all. Now she was hungry.
Shen Siqi was furious, but she had no way to deal with Shen Yunxi. Immediately, she felt a wave of darkness spreading in front of her.
Especially when she saw that Shen Yunxi didn't react at all and was leisurely eating her meal, she wanted to slap her to death. She couldn't understand why there was such a hateful woman!
If this weren't Shen Yunxi's courtyard, she would have brought people with her and given Shen Yunxi a good beating today!
She was so angry when she heard the news that she forgot to bring anyone with her. Now there are three people with Shen Yunxi, and she is the only one. Naturally, she won't get any benefits. She might even get punished by Shen Yunxi. Shen Siqi is clear about this.
"Shen Yunxi, don't be so smug. One day you'll see what happens to you!" Shen Siqi shouted angrily, then turned and left.
After Shen Siqi left, Shen Yunxi didn't react much. She had breakfast before asking Cai'er, who was standing next to her.
"Cai'er, did she take the wrong medicine today? Why is she reacting like this? What happened?" Shen Yunxi asked.
Cai'er nodded and recounted what had happened that day.
It turned out that He Zheng had come to see the Shen family early in the morning, naturally for the sake of Shen Leyi.
Although Madam Qian didn't say a word to Junxuan yesterday, now that Junxuan isn't at the Yong'an Marquis's residence, she naturally can't control her anger.
The thought of his daughter's reputation being ruined by a commoner, and how he had touched her, naturally enraged Madam Qian.
Without disturbing Shen Leyi, Madam Qian planned to kick the person out.
However, Old Madam Shen, who had always been on their side, invited the person in, which showed that she was in no mood for Qian Shi at all. This immediately made Qian Shi feel terrible, and she could only grit her teeth and follow them to the front hall.
Shen Siqi knew about yesterday's events and that He Zheng had come to the Shen family, which is why she came to vent her anger on Shen Yunxi.
If it weren't for Shen Yunxi, Shen Leyi wouldn't have had her reputation ruined by a man she looked down on, and she would never have been able to marry anyone else in the future.
After hearing this, Shen Yunxi nodded, understanding what had happened.
"Miss, why did the old lady agree to let Young Master He come?" Zhizhi asked, puzzled.
Given Madam Shen's personality, and considering how much she loves Shen Leyi, she would definitely try her best to protect her. Perhaps she would send her to the countryside for a while, and then find a good excuse to change her identity and bring her back.
Since the name has already been removed from the family genealogy, changing it won't hurt. Who can say anything then?
Is she really willing to hand Shen Leyi over to He Zheng by doing this?
Shen Yunxi smiled slightly and looked at Cai'er, "Cai'er, tell Zhizhi why my grandmother let He Zheng in."
“Yes, Miss.” Cai’er curtsied in response, then turned to Zhizhi, “The old lady naturally didn’t want to do this, but she had no other choice. After all, the Emperor knows about this, and it’s futile for her to try to hide it. Moreover, the old Marquis is a clear-headed man. He can see that the Emperor dislikes the Fourth Miss and has a very bad impression of her. That’s why he confined her to her quarters and dealt with the incident where she tried to harm Miss but ended up falling into the water herself. As a result, the old Marquis understands that the Fourth Miss cannot be allowed to stay, otherwise it will easily bring trouble to the Yong’an Marquis’s mansion. Although it’s a bit of an exaggeration to describe it as cutting off one’s tail to survive, that’s roughly the idea. He still cares about his own wealth and status and cannot be affected by the Fourth Miss.”
It has to be said that Cai'er is indeed clever, and Shen Yunxi looked at Cai'er with great admiration.
No matter when or where, Cai'er can always pinpoint the crux of a problem. She is truly intelligent. Perhaps she can ask Cai'er for advice on some things. There is strength in numbers, and it is better to have someone else come up with a solution to a problem that she cannot figure out on her own.
Zhizhi looked at Cai'er with a knowing expression. "So that's how it is. Cai'er is really smart. So, Miss, what do you plan to do now? Are you going to go to the front hall to see what's going on?"
“Of course, we can’t let Young Master He ruin this show. My grandmother doesn’t think much of him. Besides, my grandmother won’t tell anyone about Shen Leyi being expelled from the party, and neither will I. It’s best to wait until she gets married before he finds out.” Shen Yunxi smiled.
Perhaps she had thought of something, for her eyes turned cold, and the smile on her lips turned into a sneer.
Now that Shen Leyi has become like this, I wonder what she will do to deal with her next.
Furthermore, Lu Wanqing and Shen Leyi can't get together now, so no matter what, some things from their past life definitely won't happen again.
Since that's the case, she should go and appreciate the unique performance of the Shen family. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to let Old Madam Shen perform for nothing? She should at least be a spectator.
"Miss, shall we go now?" Zhizhi asked Shen Yunxi eagerly.
Shen Yunxi chuckled lightly, of course she understood that this girl was also the kind of person who loved to watch the fun.
"Alright, let's go now. Today's show is sure to be spectacular."
