Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

99 Threat
Shen Xinniang glanced at her and left slowly.

Shen Wuniang's eyes flicked to the maid who was following her. The maid was holding a small bamboo basket in her hand. The paper money with red letters and yellow paper in the basket was very eye-catching.

A group of people slowly left the house.

The raised cotton curtain brought a cold and crisp wind from outside.

The blow made Shen Wuniang suddenly seem to wake up a lot, and her drowsy head from crying didn't seem to be a mess anymore.

She stopped pestering the maid and asked where her mother had gone.

He just stared blankly at the indelible blood on the ground, drank the medicine quietly, without saying a word.

"Lady, fifth lady..." Dan Xin held the basket, frowned slightly, and hesitated to speak.

Shen Xinniang stopped in her tracks and glanced at her, "Let Lady Ye send you two freshly colored spring grasses."

"Oh." Dan Xin nodded.She didn't mean to say this!Didn't the lady see something in the eyes of the fifth lady?

Although Zhu's result is nothing more than self-inflicted, but Wu Niangzi will inevitably vent her anger on Niangzi?Shouldn't the lady be on guard?

"Worshiping your mother, you must be pure and respectful." Shen Xinniang said suddenly.

Dan Xin was stunned, with a look of shame on his face, and lowered his head.

Although what happened yesterday, but today, Shen Shangshu is still very rare.

Shen Xinniang burned paper money for her mother outside the ancestral hall, and when she was about to go inside to offer incense, he also came to the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

He took the incense sticks from the maid, and entered the ancestral hall together with Shen Xinniang, offering incense to his late wife Qin.

The two of them didn't speak a word in the ancestral hall.

Rows of black lacquered tablets make the ancestral hall look cold and chill.

The cold ancestral hall reflected by the snow outside the door is a bit brighter than usual.

The gold letters on the black lacquered tablet became more and more clear.

Shen Xinniang's eyes fell on her mother, Qin's spirit card, trying to find traces of her mother in her memory.

"You come with me."

Until Shen Shangshu couldn't wait outside the door, he urged him.

She came back to herself in a daze, and found nothing.

Shen Shangshu took her to his study.

The Shaoguang courtyard still smelled of blood, and he didn't want to go there at all.

"What did you think about what I told you yesterday?"

"Yesterday, didn't I already reject my father?"

Shen Xinniang looked at her father without any emotion in her dark eyes.

Shen Shangshu's forehead twitched with blue veins, and his hands hanging on his knees couldn't help clenching into fists.

"You don't understand Mrs. Zhu, why did you seek death in front of you? You forced her to death! Although she wanted to hurt you, she didn't hurt you after all! Death is not a crime! She wants to die! There is nothing in your heart!" touch?"

Shen Xinniang looked at Shen Shangshu with a slightly puzzled tone, "Resentment is the beginning of a crime. You don't have to wait until you kill someone before committing a crime. Besides, father really thinks that I was the one who forced her to death?"

Shen Shangshu's face was ugly, and his voice couldn't help being high-pitched, "You're used to shirking responsibility! If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Shen Xinniang looked at Shen Shangshu, although she didn't say a word, the meaning was obvious.

Shen Shangshu frowned, but felt a little apprehensive at her pair of dark eyes that looked like an abyss, "Okay, people can't be resurrected after death, so let's not talk about her! Those who are alive must live! Even if you are right Mrs. Zhu doesn't feel guilty, Mrs. Zhu's children and my aunt's children are all your younger brothers after all, so you really want to stand by and ignore the matter of your own brothers?"

"Isn't it my business to study and study?" Shen Xiniang asked back.

Shen Shangshu gritted his teeth, "You went to ask the king of Qi to let Mr. Lu be accommodating, so that you can enter the Caotang Academy, which will naturally be more beneficial for your studies!"

"I think my father has also heard about Mr. Lu's nature. I'm afraid Mr. Lu would not agree if King Qi opened his mouth." Shen Xiniang's tone was light.

"Hmph, that means you didn't put your heart into it!" Shen Shangshu snorted coldly, "The late emperor failed to invite Mr. Lu into the palace as the emperor's teacher, but King Qi came forward, but Mr. Lu readily agreed! This does not mean that King Qi and Mr. Lu Good personal relationship? How could Mr. Lu refuse to agree to such a trivial matter!"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes indifferently.

"Your mother's dowry is all in your hands now! Although Mrs. Zhu said I was sorry for you and had greed in her heart, after all, she is no longer here! What hatred do you have for this family? What dissatisfaction? Your own Brothers, if you can help but don’t help, aren’t you afraid that people will say that you are cold and heartless and disown your relatives?” Shen Shangshu scolded.

Shen Xinniang raised her head, "I can say what the world wants to say, I can't control it, and I don't want to. As for the hatred you mentioned? Who forced Zhu to death, let alone, who forced my mother to death?"

When Shen Shangshu was stared at by her eagle-like eyes, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Who forced your mother to death? If you weren't born with... this appearance! How could she be talked about, how could she be spurned and despised by others! It's because she is narrow-minded and can't think about it! She died of illness! It's not like Zhu's who was bumped to death!"

Even Dan Xin, an outsider who was waiting behind Shen Xiniang, felt ups and downs and was filled with indignation when he heard this statement.

Shen Shangshu's brazen kung fu is really perfect!

"Oh, it turns out that my mother was forced by me. Didn't she be forced to death by someone who disliked her and degraded her to a remote courtyard where she strangled her own child?" Shen Xinniang's tone was flat, as if to say Focusing on other people's affairs, there was no expression on his fair face.

But Shen Shangshu's feeling of chills on his back became more and more intense.

"Although I am responsible, who can blame you for being like this? The Shen family was kind enough not to burn you as a monster! Because of you, how many times have the Shen family been ridiculed? Scorned?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

The dark and boundless pupils were covered by long eyelash feathers.

Regardless of those eyes, this face is really flawless and stunning.

"Hmph, you don't have to go back to the past! It's her own fault that the Qin family gave birth to a daughter like you! If you don't agree to my request, you still refuse to help my brothers! I will change Qin's name from Excluded from the genealogy! Her tomb is in Wuxingping County! If in the future, because of you, the Qin family does not even have a person who burns incense and pays homage to the grave, you, a daughter, have no face to say that it is your mother ?!" Shen Shangshu gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Xinniang.

For some reason, he couldn't help being irritable when facing this daughter.

The excellent self-control on weekdays seems to be easily disintegrated when he meets her.

Even the voice couldn't help but be a little higher than usual, as if to use it to boost momentum.

"She was forced to death by her incomplete daughter. If no one pays homage to her because of her incomplete daughter, her name will be removed from the family tree... Huh!" Shen Shangshu emphasized again.

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

For a long time, there was no sound in the study.

I could only hear the occasional servants outside, stepping on the snow and making creaking noises.

"How are you thinking?" Shen Shangshu picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip of tea, but found that the teacup was hollow, and his tone became more anxious.

Shen Xinniang got up upon hearing this, and walked out.

Shen Shangshu said behind her: "The school days are not short, I don't want them to miss too much homework! The Zhu family can't stop for a few days, and then we will ask for the genealogy of the ancestral hall..."

The menace in his tone was palpable.

Shen Xinniang walked out of the study without stopping.

The snow outside was falling again one after another.

The ground, trees, and roofs are all white.

Dan Xin tightened the thick fox-fur cloak for her, but the cold air still penetrated into the cloak.

Jin Xiang stepped forward and handed her a small warm hand stove, she couldn't help but wondered, "Why are my lady's hands so cold?"

Shen Xinniang glanced at her, "Let's go back home."

Ok?
Jin Xiang glanced at Dan Xin, why does the lady look unhappy?

Are you missing Mrs.
Dan Xin frowned and shook her head at her.

Jin Xiang quickly responded, "The carriage is ready-made, so let the maidservant take it."

Shen Xinniang came to the second gate and was about to wait for the car to leave.

Shen Siniang hurried over.

Looking at the slender and cold figure of her eldest sister in the heavy snow, she couldn't help sighing.

When the eldest sister came back, the whole family welcomed her, and everyone smiled and gathered in the Shaoguang courtyard.

But when he left, he was the only one who came to see her off.

"Big sister, don't think about it too much. Mother fell into delusions by herself. This result is also... caused by herself." Shen Siniang came to Shen Xiniang and said.

Shen Xinniang nodded, but did not speak.

"Mrs. Xian sees that my sister is doing well now, and Zai Tian's spirit must be at ease!" Shen Siniang comforted.

Shen Xinniang looked up at the sky, if her mother really had a spirit in the sky, knowing that although she was cured, she didn't remember the past at all, even her mother, how would she feel?
"It's snowing heavily and it's cold, don't send Si Niangzi off!" Dan Xin stepped forward, Fushen said.

She helped Shen Xiniang to step on the horse stool.

However, Shen Siniang took another step closer, her expression was a little eager, but hesitant.

"elder sister……"

Shen Xinniang looked back at her.

She lowered her head again, unwilling to speak.

Seeing that Shen Xinniang didn't intend to ask any more questions, she went straight into the carriage.

She opened her mouth, and finally said only one sentence, "Sister, let's go!"

Hidden in the bottom of my heart, I wanted to ask the question, but I couldn't ask it.

The young master of the Qin family...

Watching the carriage gradually go away, along the driveway in the heavy snow, it turned a corner and disappeared.

Only on the one-foot-deep snow, there are still two ruts, spreading to the distance.

"Fourth Lady..." the servant girl said while supporting her hand.

"Let's go back too, how is Wu Niang?" Shen Siniang asked.

The servant girl sighed softly, "I heard that after drinking the medicine, I developed a fever again, crying for a while, and just staring silently in a daze for a while, without saying a word..."
