"There's been no progress. He doesn't dare to confront my sister-in-law about this." Xiao Qingyi shook her head worriedly. "Shen Qingwu, do you think I can intervene? Should I go talk to Gao Shuyan first?"
"From the current perspective, Gao Shuyan's biggest goal should be to destroy the Fang family through mental destruction. Perhaps there is a possibility of negotiation."
Shen Qingwu can only help her analyze now, and cannot give the most accurate judgment of human nature.
"Of course, dragging the Xiao family into this wasn't just a coincidence. After all, they always believed that the Xiao family was the instigator."
"It is true that my fifth brother was wrong in this matter. He cooperated with the Fang family without checking their character just to save trouble." Xiao Qingyi looked at this matter very objectively.
He also said, "My father also knows about this matter. He has now arranged for people to check whether all those who cooperated with the Xiao family have similar incidents."
"Gao Shuyan can be informed of this matter." Shen Qingwu reminded.
Xiao Qingyi nodded with a smile. There was a knock on the door and the food was served.
…
Shen family.
Brothers Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qinghe listened to Shen Qingtang talk about what Shen Qingwu had done in the past few months. Both of them were very proud, but also inexplicably sad and guilty.
"That's all I know. When I first arrived in Beijing and saw Qingwu like that..." Shen Qingtang sighed helplessly, "I don't know how you could be so cruel to leave Qingwu to Zhao Qiuyi for so many years."
The two brothers lowered their heads in shame, and after a while they looked at Shen Qinglei again.
Shen Qinglei couldn't help but tremble when he was looked at like this, "Big, big brother, second brother——"
"I, I am young and ignorant, but now I listen to my elder sister the most." Shen Qinglei stuttered and trembled as he raised his hand and swore that he was absolutely not lying.
"What did I tell you when I left Kyoto five years ago?" Shen Qinghe's face darkened, and murderous aura emanated from him.
"I, I have spoken up for my elder sister." Shen Qinglei couldn't hold back and burst into tears. "They bullied my elder sister outside. I, I tried to stop them, but they beat me too. Wuuwuwu——"
"What about my family? Can you bully Zhao Ruyun, a person from an outsider?" Shen Qinghe's fists clattered.
Shen Qinglei had no way to argue and cried loudly with his mouth wide open.
"Coward!" Shen Qinghe couldn't control her foot and kicked Shen Qinglei on the thigh, kicking him directly off the stool.
Shen Qinglei fell to the ground and continued crying, "You all hit me, you just hit me——"
"Shut up!" Shen Qingfeng yelled with a headache.
Shen Qinglei immediately closed his mouth tightly and couldn't help but hiccup.
"As a man, what's the use of you if you can't even protect your own sister?" Shen Qingfeng was very unhappy.
"But you didn't stay to protect her. She's stupid and bullied by others. Don't you really know? Don't you still think that my sister is a burden, so you refused to bring her to your side for so many years!"
Shen Qinglei suddenly erupted in grievance at being scolded and yelled at Shen Qingfeng.
"You care about her, but apart from sending some worthless rubbish every year, have you ever come to see her in person? Have you ever sent anyone you can trust to see her? No, none of you have!"
Shen Qinglei sat on the ground and roared with his eyes closed.
In fact, these questions had been running through his mind since he first began to understand things, trying to find an answer.
"What gives you the right to say I'm useless? Haven't you ever thought about how a fool like her could protect the valuable things you sent back?!"
"I didn't know my mother was my sister's stepmother, don't you know?!"
Shen Qinglei slapped the ground angrily with his hands.
"If my mother really cared about my sister, why would she bring my two cousins home to keep her company?! You don't even know such a simple truth. How can you fight on the battlefield to defend your country?"
"If you ask me, you are just pretending to be stupid, all of you are pretending to be stupid!" Shen Qinglei roared in rage.
Shen Qingtang nodded repeatedly beside him.
Shen Mingzhe stood obediently behind Shen Qingtang, looking at his two brothers who were stunned by Shen Qinglei's roar. He swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Grandma beat my sister in my hometown. You should know that."
He remembered that his grandmother encouraged him to slap his elder sister, and his father and mother did not stop him. They only praised him for being so strong. His older brother should also know it, right?
The older they get, the more clear-headed they become. Ten-year-old Shen Mingzhe and Shen Qinglei agree that Shen Qingfeng is so smart that he must know that even Shen Yan, the biological mother, would abuse Shen Qingtang, let alone Zhao Qiuyi, the stepmother.
"Now that my sister is no longer stupid, you guys have come back. She no longer needs your protection!" Shen Qinglei took several deep breaths and finally dared to open his eyes and look directly at Shen Qingfeng and the others.
The two brothers, who were originally righteous, lost their temper after being yelled at by Shen Qinglei.
Yes, what qualifications do they have to blame Shen Qinglei?
He is the smaller one and needs more protection.
Shen Qinglei rubbed his eyes with his arm, supported himself on his hips and stood up. He glanced at the brothers and sisters present, and his tone became unusually calm. "Do you really think she is still Shen Qingwu?"
"What kind of opportunity can make a fool suddenly become smart? A person who has never practiced martial arts suddenly becomes extremely powerful. Haven't you ever doubted it?" Shen Qinglei looked at the stunned people and asked again.
"Yes, I prefer this smart elder sister now. Although she always likes to beat me, she is the only one who told me over the years that Shen Qinglei is Shen Lan's son, and that I should be a hero who defends my country and be an upright man." Shen Qinglei stood straight and straightened his chest.
"She is very good, but is she still my elder sister?"
"If she wasn't, then where did my silly sister go? She's so stupid, would there still be many people bullying her if she went to another place? Would she be alone there without anyone she knew, and would she have to hug herself even when she cried?"
Shen Qinglei looked up at the sky and opened his eyes wide, but he couldn't hide his choked sobs.
Shen Qingtang turned his back and blinked frequently, but tears were still falling in his eyes.
Sun Yimo leaned against the window and looked at the people in the yard, her big eyes blinking constantly. When she saw the red skirt fluttering in the wind at the door, she tilted her head: If it was Master and not their little sister, would they drive her and Master out?
Shen Qingfeng sniffed hard, pinching his brows with his slender fingers. Is it true that once something is missed, there is no chance to make up for it?
"When I first met her, I looked at her bones and she was indeed in Qingwu's body." Shen Qingtang cleared his throat before speaking again. "Two years ago, on Qingwu's birthday, I came to Kyoto to see her. Her body was indeed Qingwu's, unless it had been replaced by someone else two years ago. But I am sure that when I came here, she was truly stupid and not pretending."
Shen Qinghe hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Have you ever heard of reincarnation?"
