Mr. Shen has long been bent over by the weight of life. Merchants are profit-oriented, and the officials above them look at them like ants. Even if one is the richest man in a place, there is a saying that he is a county magistrate who wipes out his entire family or a prefect who ruins his family. Merchants like them can never compare with these officials.
Therefore, they had to be extremely careful and cautious even to see their biological daughter, and they almost exhausted all their assets.
Of course, they don’t care about this so-called daughter now.
But the subconscious servility left over from dealing with the people in the Bo Mansion over the years could not be changed. Master Shen did not even bother to explain Shen Jiayan's matter to Su Yao. He just kept being careful with Su Rong. He was so nervous that he could not stand or sit. Sometimes he was afraid that the tea was not good enough to suit Su Rong's taste, and sometimes he was afraid that the servants were not disciplined enough. This made Su Rong feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was a dog official who oppressed the good people. He laughed and asked Master Shen to sit down: "Master Shen, there is no need to be so nervous. I am not a supernatural being who wants to eat people. Sit down. I just came here to accompany Yaoyao. I heard that your son was in trouble?"
Mr. Shen was surprised and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had met another young master from the Bo Mansion before. Su An was too stingy to even glance at them and acted arrogant and domineering, but this young master was surprisingly so approachable.
They all came from the same mansion, so why is there such a big difference between them
He quickly gathered his thoughts, smiled bitterly, and told the whole story. He still looked very tired and haggard: "Jia Yan is now the only child in front of my wife and me. If something really happens to him... ... we can't survive..."
Su Rong knew why Su Yao was in such a hurry to come over. At the same time, he also thought of another point, so he asked Mr. Shen directly: "Do you know who did it?"
Mr. Shen hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head: "I don't know who did it. Although my son saw the man's face, it's not easy to find someone in such a huge crowd. Besides, my son is fine, but..."
It's just so humiliating.
At least the classmates and teachers in the private school knew everything they should know. Shen Jiayan was a child with a strong sense of self-esteem. The most serious thing about this accident was not his injuries, but the fact that he would probably become even more taciturn from now on.
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen could hardly hide his annoyance.
It would be great if I didn’t have this life experience.
Su Yao is still his daughter, and they have such a good relationship... Jia Yan will not change her personality because of her sister's departure, and she will not follow them around and suffer and be looked down upon.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Mr. Shen was somewhat disheartened.
Madam Shen also mentioned this to Su Yao while choking up: "My master and I think that we don't need to stay in the capital anymore. Our roots are in Shandong after all. Why don't we go back to Shandong... Jinzhong... Datong... anywhere is fine. Now that you've returned to the Earl's Mansion, we don't have anything to worry about. As for..."
Speaking of Su Xingxuan, Mrs. Shen was speechless. After a pause, she said, "We don't dare to expect her to be a noble woman anymore. We can just pretend that she never gave birth to this child..."
As they were talking, Yan Cao knocked on the door. When she heard Su Yao's voice, she reported through the door: "Miss, Ruan Xiaojiu is here and wants to see you."
There weren't so many rules in the Shen family. Su Yao immediately let Ruan Xiaojiu in. In front of Mrs. Shen, she asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Did you find out anything?"
Ruan Xiaojiu was assigned an errand for the first time, and she did it with extra care and dedication. She shook her head at Su Yao with certainty, "Miss, I've checked. Since the incident, the Third Young Master has been locked up, and there is no communication between the inner and outer courtyards. Qingsong got into trouble, and the remaining servants around the Third Young Master also angered the Third Madam because of what happened at the farm a few days ago. The Third Madam forbade them to work in the mansion anymore. This incident has nothing to do with the Third Young Master."
Not Su An.
That’s Su Xingxuan.
Su Yao looked at Shen Jiayan, who was lying on the bed unconscious with a frown on his face and a pale face, and suddenly sneered.
How cruel.
It turns out that Su Xingxuan is a selfish person to the core, whether in her past life or this life.
She held Madam Shen's hand and shook her head firmly: "Don't leave. My elder brother and I are watching you in the capital. It's a long way back to Shandong, and it's almost the New Year. Something could go wrong."
When she said the words "easy to get into trouble", Mrs. Shen couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously looked at Su Yao: "Yaoyao, do you know who harmed Jiayan?"
Otherwise, why would Su Yao say such things for no reason
Mrs. Shen was a little excited. Thinking of what Ruan Xiaojiu had just said to Su Yao, she was suddenly a little incredulous: "Yaoyao, you mean, this matter is... your brother, or..."
Or was it Su Xingxuan who did it? !
But why is this? !
What did they do wrong
When Su Xingxuan was in the Bo's Mansion, they just wanted to see their biological daughter. Although they paid a heavy price for it and their family was almost destroyed by her brother, they did not resent anything. This time, the Su family drove Su Xingxuan out and notified them to pick her up, and they went happily.
Even though Su Xingxuan refused to even come out to see them in the end, although they were extremely sad, they did not blame their daughter for anything. After all, they had never raised her, so they felt that it was understandable that Su Xingxuan disliked them.
But why is it so?!
Shen Jiayan is just a child!
No matter what Su Xingxuan was like, how could she bear to attack such a young child!
Besides, Shen Jiayan is her biological brother! Even if they didn't grow up together, blood is thicker than water, right
She couldn't accept it for a moment, and she held Su Yao's hand, emotionally wanting to get a definite answer from Su Yao: "Yaoyao, is it true? Is it really her?"
But why?!
Su Yao knew how hurt and disappointed Mrs. Shen was, but she did think that it was Su Xingxuan who did it.
As for why.
Some people do things without any reason and don't need any reason. In Su Xingxuan's opinion, the Shen couple's approach is the culprit that ruined her wealthy life, and she certainly cannot tolerate it.
Just like taking revenge on Mr. He to attack Mrs. He, and just like dealing with Su Rong to target Old Madam Su, Su Xingxuan has just been like this. She will never be wrong, and it is always others who are wrong.
When Madam Shen saw her silence, her heart dropped straight down, and her face turned pale. Finally, she laughed at herself and said, "Yes, our lowly status has made her go from a rich lady to a merchant girl, which is embarrassing for her."
