Shen Xining raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xiyao.
"Sister, what you said is very strange. I have always taken mother's instructions to heart. Your words are pushing me into the fire pit."
Shen Xiyao didn't expect Shen Xining to go back on his words so directly. She pursed her lips.
"Sister, what you said is really strange. I have never said such words before. Please be careful with your words."
Shen Xining raised his eyebrows.
"Why did you suddenly deny it? Mother is still sitting here. Didn't you just say that I was disobeying my elders? I wonder what mother thinks of this view?"
Shen frowned, she really didn't like Shen Xining in front of her. She felt that she was very annoying. She spoke in a cold voice.
"I have no opinion on this, and there is nothing wrong with what Xiyao said. As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you should not act so recklessly sometimes."
Shen Xining raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen with a strange look in his eyes.
"Mother, what you said is even more strange. I really don't know what I did wrong to make you so angry. I rescued the Shen family from prison, traveled all the way, saw the evil in the world, and upheld justice. Could it be that in your heart, all these are wrong?"
Shen's face turned completely gloomy.
"Shen Xining, you know that what you did is unheard of in the entire court. Moreover, you are a woman, and your reputation outside is already extremely bad. If it weren't for your sister's own planning, now, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for her to find a good family in this city."
Shen Xining's face also turned cold.
"Now that things have come to this, mother is finally willing to tell the truth. I have done these things and have clearly received praise from the emperor, but in mother's eyes, I am a rebellious person. Which side do you stand on, mother?"
"That's enough! Shen Xining, have you had enough of living? How dare you say such outrageous words!?"
Shen Xining's face gradually turned colder, and her eyes stared straight at Shen, making Shen's back feel cold. Jiang's eyes were like this before, direct, cold, and sharp, making people feel cold in their hearts and making all the thoughts in their hearts disappear, as if illuminated by everything in the world.
"Really? Then what is Mother going to do with me?"
Shen's voice became tense and she signaled the carriage to stop.
"Let the young lady go down and walk around on her own, and let her know what the consequences are in this world. Since you have done something wrong, you must bear the consequences of your own mistakes. This is the rule of the Shen family. Young lady Shen should know this rule of the Shen family."
Shen Xining laughed happily and nodded.
"Of course I know the rules of the Shen family. Since my mother wants to punish me in this way, I dare not disobey."
Shen Xining said this, stood up, and walked out. Her expression was indifferent, which made Shen Xiyao feel uneasy. Her fair fingers clenched Shen's arm.
"Mother, she has always been scheming, why is she so submissive today? Is there some conspiracy waiting for us?"
Shen was actually a little uneasy in her heart, but she barely held on to the back of the chair and forced herself to speak.
"No, no matter what, I am the mistress of the Shen family. She is just an unmarried girl. How can she fight with me?"
After Shen Xining went down, he watched Shen's carriage gradually go away and smiled.
Soon, Xie Zhaoan appeared here. He looked at Shen Xining and raised his eyebrows.
"Miss Shen has actually made herself look so miserable. This doesn't seem like Miss Shen's style."
Shen Xining did not deny it, he just spoke.
"But I know that the Fourth Prince will definitely come. Fourth Prince, how about lending me your dagger?"
Xie Zhaoan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what she wanted to do, and handed over his dagger. Shen Xining clenched the dagger in her hand and stabbed it into her arm fiercely. Her arm started bleeding instantly. The woman frowned slightly, but her expression did not change at all. She looked at the bleeding arm indifferently, as if it was not her own arm.
Xie Zhaoan wanted to say something, but the carriage had already arrived. Shen Xining threw the dagger to Xie Zhaoan and said in a calm voice.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince. However, the carriage has already arrived. I think a good show still needs someone to sing it."
Xie Zhaoan pursed his lips. Although he didn't know why Shen Xining asked him to come here, since she wanted to sing opera, he should not become an obstacle to her singing. Xie Zhaoan nodded and walked out slowly.
Shen Xining got on the carriage. When she arrived at the Taoist temple, Shen Xiyao and Shen had already entered the gate. Only a maidservant beside Shen was waiting for Shen Xining at the gate.
Shen Xining slightly concealed her injured arm. The maid took her to a remote road pass and spoke.
"Miss Shen, please wait here for a moment. Madam and the second young lady are burning incense over there. They will come over here after they finish burning incense."
Shen Xining smiled and nodded, and the maid went out to close the door. Shen Xining looked at the closed door, frowned, turned around to look at the lit incense behind her, and almost laughed out loud. This Shen was really as stupid as ever. She raised her hand to put out the incense, and then looked at the door. Not long after, a man stumbled in. He looked like a drunkard, and he smelled strongly of alcohol, but it was clearly not coming from his stomach, but from his sleeves.
This posture is really too ridiculous.
The Shen family has been using the same methods for so many years.
The man rushed towards Shen Xining with hazy eyes.
"Where did you come from, little beauty!? Let me see! Little beauty, let your brother take good care of you, okay? Don't be polite to your brother! My brother likes little beauties like you the most!"
Seeing that the man was about to charge towards him, Shen Xining dodged, but the man failed to dodge and crashed directly into the barrier behind him. Blood instantly appeared on his forehead. He held the bloodstain on his forehead and widened his eyes.
"Bitch! You actually made me bleed! I'll let you know what the consequences are for disobeying me!"
Shen Xining sneered. Now, he didn't pretend at all, and didn't pretend to be drunk at all.
As if he was a little irritated by her gaze, the man actually began to take off his outer robe. His movements were smooth and disgusting.
