Chapter 159: Difficult to deal with
This one sentence made Xiao Tingshan's face turn pale again. He had been thinking a lot this afternoon.
Finally agreed with Wenren Zong's opinion.
Perhaps Miss Shen II could not be of much help to him in other matters, but in persuading Liancheng, she might have an unexpected effect.
Only then did he humble himself and ask again in a nice way.
I never thought that Shen Shuyi would have such an attitude!
Xiao Tingshan still maintained the dignity of a young master from an aristocratic family. He was stunned for only a moment, then his expression returned to normal, and he said sincerely, "Miss Shen is right. It was really abrupt for me to ask such a question rashly. However, this matter is of vital importance to me, so I hope Miss can help me solve my doubts."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "If I remember correctly, a few hours ago, Mr. Song said that he would not bother me again in the future. Now he is not afraid of breaking his promise."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi didn't care about Xiao Tingshan's mixed expression of green and red, and left with the group.
Xiao Tingshan stood there, staring at her back with a deep look.
Wenren Zong said faintly: "It seems that this Second Miss Shen is not easy to deal with~"
Xiao Tingshan said slowly: "I just don't understand how I offended her to make her hate me so much."
Xiao Tingshan has always been aware of his advantages. Although his poor health and family background have affected his marriage, he dare not say anything else, as there are many women who are interested in him.
Now, even though I have shown my kindness to Shen Shuyi several times, she still refuses to budge. It is really unreasonable!
Xiao Tingshan lowered his eyes and said, "Since she hates me, then I'll find a way to make it impossible for her to hate me."

On the other side, Shen Mansion.
In Yunshu Garden, after Lu Xing finished her work, several maids sat in the yard and chatted.
Lu Xing looked at Fei Cui and said, "Sister Fei Cui, why hasn't the young lady come back yet so late?"
While embroidering the handkerchief, Feicui looked at the sky and said, "Maybe something delayed her."
Lu Xing asked again, "Young lady, why didn't you bring sister Feicui with you when you went out this time? I saw that the other sisters went with you."
Feicui looked at her and said gently, "We have to keep someone to guard the yard. Besides, the young lady has her own reasons for making such an arrangement."
Lu Xing smiled and said, "You are right. I just felt that Nanny Fang is old and it is inconvenient for her to go out. She is most suitable to guard the yard. I didn't expect that the young lady would take her out."
Feicui continued to embroider the handkerchief in her hand and said slowly, "Mammy, you haven't left the house for a long time. It's a rare opportunity, so you'll want to go out and take a look."
Lu Xing said again: "Sister Feicui is really considerate. Miss has several sisters to help her, and the nanny to take care of her. No wonder she looks much better recently, and even seems to be in a good mood."
Fangmei on the other side also responded: "That's right, I heard a magpie calling in the yard this morning. Since the young lady came back, there have been many happy events in our yard."
Feicui frowned and said, "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently. You all should be careful with your words and actions and don't bring trouble to the young lady."
"Yes." Several people responded in unison.
Lu Xing glanced in Feicui's direction again and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, have you heard about the incident between the Second Young Master and the Chai family? I heard from people in other courtyards in the mansion that our young lady framed us for this!"
Upon hearing this, Emerald frowned and said immediately: "Nonsense!"
Lu Xing shrank her neck and continued, "I just heard that they said it was related to some jade pendant... I didn't understand it either..."
Feicui said coldly, "Miss did pick up a white jade pendant, but how can this matter be related to the Second Young Master? Moreover, Miss has never touched the jade pendant. This is simply nonsense!"
Lu Xing and Fang Mei looked at each other, then they lowered their heads and said nothing more.
Half an hour later.
Qin Xuerong listened to what Nanny Wang said, slapped the table, and said angrily: "It's this bastard! I was wondering why An Ge'er's jade pendant was lost!"
Nanny Wang also responded, "Madam is wise. The people around the Second Young Master are all your trusted confidants who were personally selected by you. They would never do such a thing. After thinking about it, the Second Young Master is the only one in this mansion who could do such a thing."
Qin Xuerong's eyes were gloomy, and her chest seemed to be filled with an evil fire that she couldn't suppress no matter what.
That’s fifty thousand taels of silver!
Just because of a jade pendant, she lost 50,000 taels of silver!
"I will not let this bastard go. I will definitely get revenge for An Ge'er!"

When Shen Shuyi came back from outside the mansion, it was already getting dark.
She was planning to go back and take a shower, then write down from memory the book she had read from Liancheng. Unexpectedly, when she was halfway there, she passed by Shen Jingzhen's yard and heard a fierce quarrel inside.
"Get out of here! I'm telling you, don't think I don't know that you're just here to laugh at me."
"Now that I'm ruined, are you satisfied? Are you all satisfied? Get out, get out!"
Shen Shuyi stopped and recognized the voice of Shen Jingzhen.
Shen Jingzhen spoke hysterically, as if the blows and house arrest in the past few days had completely exposed her true nature.
Not long after, Shen Shuyi saw a pale pink figure running out of the yard crying.
There were still traces of tears on Shen Meiru's face, and she ran staggeringly.
It seemed that she didn't expect to meet Shen Shuyi here. She was a little surprised and nervous.
"Second...Second sister..."
Shen Meiru spoke subconsciously and raised her hands to cover her face. Her tearful eyes were so pitiful.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "What's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason?"
Shen Meiru held back tears and shook her head: "I thought that my third sister was under house arrest and was afraid that she would be bored, so I thought of coming to see her and talk to her, but I didn't expect..."
There is no need to say more about the following, the meaning is very clear.
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on her cheek. One side of her palm-sized face was very red and swollen, obviously she had been beaten.
At this moment, bursts of crackling sounds could still be heard in the room.
Shen Jingzhen had probably never suffered such injustice before. Every time she endured it for two days, she would start smashing things.
"You all want to laugh at me, don't you? You will all regret it, I will make you regret it!"
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and said in a gentle voice: "Your third sister is in a bad mood and probably doesn't have the heart to chat with you. You should come over less often, otherwise she will find you annoying."
The corners of Shen Meiru's eyes were red, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. But in the end, she said nothing, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Stop crying. It's windy at night. If your mother sees your face covered with tears tomorrow, she will be unhappy." Shen Shuyi comforted her in a gentle voice.
Upon hearing this, Shen Meiru felt even more aggrieved: "I...I understand. Thank you for your concern, second sister."
"Go back and apply some medicine on your wounds. You should be able to recover by tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
Seeing that she agreed, Shen Shuyi didn't ask any more questions and took Yuping and the others back to Yunshu Garden.
Shen Meiru stood there, her eyes fixed on Shen Shuyi's back for a long time. After a while, she said faintly, "Second sister..."
