Emily was very puzzled. She felt that Shen Yu was such a gentle person.

Emily was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the unnatural expression on Shen Yu’s face.

​ 

“Millie, look, Fifth Brother is right in front of you. What can happen? I’ve already said that it’s just a routine check once a month.”

Shen Nan was very attentive and saw that Shen Yu was in a difficult position. He hurriedly explained.

However, Emily did not want to hear Shen Nan say it. If Shen Yu had not personally said it, she would not have believed it.

“You still doubt my words. Everyone in the Shen family needs a routine check-up. When you first came to the Shen family, did Grandpa also take you to the hospital for a check-up?”

Shen Nan glared at Emily and then gave Shen Yu a look to claim credit.

“It’s good that there’s nothing wrong. Brother, you must tell me if you’re feeling unwell.”

Shen Yu forced a smile and nodded.

When Emily saw Shen Yu nod, she was happy. Her attention was attracted by the book in Shen Yu’s hand. It was a Go book. There were some very difficult endings in it.

“Brother, I know how to play with this toy. I’ve played with it in my dreams. I’m very good!” Emily said excitedly to Shen Yu.

“Millie is really good. Go and change your clothes first. I’ll play with you later.” Shen Yu only thought that Emily had played in the village before and did not care. He urged her to change her clothes and prepare for lunch.

After the butler came back, he went straight to the study and told Shen Yan about what happened in the hospital today.

“Those two children were not injured, right?”

A trace of worry flashed across Shen Yan’s eyes.

“They were not injured. It’s just that the Sixth Young Master seemed to have grown up today. He protected Miss Emily behind him. Master, you didn’t hear what he said at that time. He was just like a little adult.”

The butler shook his head and answered respectfully.

Shen Yan was slightly gratified. He had finally made something of himself.

“Send more people around the children. Tell them to hide a little. Don’t let the children find out.”

A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Yan’s eyes.

“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements right away.”

“Also, how’s the investigation going?”

“That day, they came to bring Miss Xue back. I heard from their servants that the two of them pointed at Miss Xue and scolded her. However, I saw them in the hospital today. I don’t think it’s very serious.”

“Shen Xue, this child. Initially, I told her to come to the Shen family’s old residence often because I wanted her to stay away from her pair of unscrupulous parents. However, I didn’t expect that in the end, she was taught astray. Tell me, why does she have such a heavy heart as a young child?”

Shen Yan stretched out his hand and slapped the table. When he thought of Shen Xue framing Emily in the village, he became even angrier.

“Master, I’ve checked the surveillance footage. It was indeed Miss Xue who fell on purpose after she helped Miss Millie up,” the butler lowered his head and said softly.

Initially, Shen Yan did not think this matter was important. However, after Shen Xue used Shen Nan, Shen Yan asked him to check the surveillance footage. He did not expect to see such a scene.

“If I remember correctly, Millie just came to the Shen family that day, right?”

Emily had just arrived at the Shen family and Shen Xue already disliked her. It seemed that this child could not be led back to the right path.

The butler nodded. “Yes.”

Shen Yan closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

“Old Feng, how long have you been in our family?”

The butler looked at Shen Yan in confusion. After thinking for a while, he said, “Almost forty years.”

“You and I are both old, and the children’s minds are starting to become active. Shen Xue is a ten-year-old child. I had the intention to keep her in the Shen family and away from her parents, but in the end, I still can’t resist the influence of the family environment. This child is not suitable to stay in the Shen family’s old residence. In the future, there is no need for her to come anymore.”

“I understand, Master. You still have to take care of your health.”

After all, the Shen family still had to rely on him to support them.

Shen Yan waved his hand, indicating for the butler to leave.

The incident back then had caused his Shen family to be severely injured. Who knew how long his body could last?

Fortunately, the doctor told him that Shen Yu’s condition had obviously improved. Although there were still some communication barriers, he had already begun to take the initiative to change.

This was the most gratifying thing he had done in the past few years.

Shen Yu coaxed Emily upstairs and sat alone on the sofa with a calm expression. He did not know how to tell Emily about his past. That terrifying scene had tortured him night after night, making him unable to sleep all night.

When he closed his eyes, he could see the broken arms and limbs. His ears were filled with painful moans and the sick and crazy laughter of those people.

He had once fallen into his own darkness. He struggled hard, but to no avail.

Until he met Emily, his light.

With her by his side, he felt an unprecedented peace, but she was still too young, and there were still fish that had escaped the net back then. It was not good for her to know too much.
