"Son, it's my mother's fault. She didn't realize that there was such a seller around my son."
"For my mother's sake, it would be inappropriate if there is not a smart girl around to take care of her." After saying that, she looked at the two maids next to her who were several years older than Shu Yao, and said:
"My mother will point out to you the first-class girls Zhuxi and Zhuju beside you. They are obedient and clever. They have been with my mother for many years and are safe people. Let them take care of your daily life.
"
Shu Yao said anxiously: "Then there is no one around mother to take care of her? We can't leave everything to Yao'er..."
Mrs. Shu shook her head and took over the words, "No, there are still Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Fu..."
After hearing this, Shu Yao responded obediently: "Mother's people must not be wrong, and everyone listens to mother."
Mrs. Shu looked at Zhuxi and Zhuju who were standing next to her, and warned: "From now on, you two will be Yao'er's personal maids. Please be smart when serving me."
Zhuxi and Zhuju bowed to each other and replied: "Yes, I will definitely serve the good young lady and not let the madam worry."
When night fell, Shu Yao returned to Qinxi Courtyard, washed briefly, and then fell asleep.
Half asleep and half awake, suddenly, she seemed to have escaped into a misty dream, like smoke and mist.
Suddenly, a vague voice came, "Sister Xi?"
"Sister Yao'er?"
"Here!" Shu Yao responded to her.
Yu Mingxi was so happy, "Sister Yao'er, it's really you! We meet again..."
"Yeah! But, there aren't many chances..." Shu Yao said lonely.
"Sister Yao'er!"
"I'm fine..."
Yu Mingxi suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, sister Yao'er, do you know that the group of killers at the foot of Qixing Mountain and the lotus viewing event were all assassins bribed by Shu Wanwan to assassinate you."
"So, the person in Shu Mansion who wants your life is Shu Wanwan. Although there is no solid evidence yet, it is too obvious that he framed you again and again. Do you want me to help you deal with her?" Yu
Mingxi said fiercely.
Shu Yao was not surprised when she learned that it was Shu Wanwan. She sighed helplessly: "It's really her!"
After a brief pause, she pondered for a long time, and then said: "It is easy to solve, but after all, she is a child adopted by her mother. If she is solved like this, her mother will be sad. After all, during the eight years of my absence, she has spent all her life.
Eight years of filial piety.”
When Yu Mingxi heard this, she just thought it was ridiculous. She said: "Then you will keep her to hurt you in the future? You must know that your concession will only make her feel that you are easy to bully, and in the end she will bully you even harder.
Come up."
Shu Yao's embarrassed voice came: "But..."
Yu Mingxi interrupted her, feeling a little resentful that iron cannot become steel, so she analyzed it for her:
"There is nothing wrong with kindness in itself, but blind kindness will not only give bad people more opportunities to hurt you, but also bring hidden dangers to those around you."
Shu Yao sighed quietly, "I think... what you said makes sense..."
"So, your kindness should have a bit of edge."
"Yeah!" Shu Yao responded.
"To be honest, if it weren't for your mother's sake and your thoughts, I would really want to kill her... In the past, if someone dared to do this to me, I would guarantee that she would die without a burial place."
In the past, she was Mei Yue, the most feared killer in the world. How had she ever shown mercy to anyone?
"Before...? Sister, there were many stories before, right?" Shu Yao asked curiously.
"Yes, hey! Let's not talk about the past." At this point, Shu Yao felt a little sad. She changed the subject and said:
"In the future of my life, if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend anyone. If someone offends me, I'll be polite. If someone offends me again, I'll eradicate the root cause. This is how you, Shuyao, and I will behave in the future. Do you understand?"
Shu Yao responded: "Yeah! I understand." In fact, she quite likes her sister's free and easy character. She dares to love and hate. If you give me a foot of respect, I will give you a foot.
"By the way, what happened when the Taoist priest approved the order back then?" Yu Mingxi always felt that something was wrong, but she still couldn't figure out the reason.
"I remember when I was six years old, I saw the Crown Prince Yun Ao for the first time..."
"The fourteen-year-old prince sneaked out of the palace because of his playfulness. At that time, he was simple and kind, well-dressed, and generous. However, because of this, he was unaware of the dangers of reality, and he was targeted by a group of bad guys.
, secretly captured him, stuffed him into a big box, and prepared for shipping..."
"I was more playful and naughty at that time. Perhaps due to fate, I accidentally saw the prince when he was taken away, so I followed him secretly with my servant and boarded the ship..."
"Just like that, we found the box containing the prince. The servant pried open the box, and I rescued the prince... Who would have thought... that he would be noticed by the bad guys..."
"In order to protect the safety of me and the prince, my servant used his own strength to resist the bad guys..."
Speaking of this, Shu Yao choked up and said, "I saw with my own eyes that the servant was stabbed several times, and he didn't forget to tell me and the prince to run away first... Although we were saved, the servant died..."
"He died miserably..."
I see!
Yu Mingxi asked seriously: "What happened next?" No wonder they had known each other since childhood!
"Later, when the emperor learned about this, Lei Lei was furious and punished the prince..."
"On the other hand, because I found out in time that I had saved the prince, the emperor was very pleased, so he issued a decree that from now on, I could study in the palace and study with the children in the palace. In fact, I would read with him.
"
"...Later...a few months later...my mother took me and Shu Wanwan to the temple to burn incense. Because I was too naughty, my mother didn't ask me to go in and just let me stay in the yard to play."
"Later, a temple priest suddenly stopped me. He looked strange and looked at me for a long time. Then, he said some crazy words to me..."
"He said that my appearance is my mother's destiny to honor the world." In other words, she will marry the emperor in the future, which is what every woman in the world dreams of!
"I was still young at the time, so I thought the temple blessing was playing a joke on me, so I didn't care... Unexpectedly, I met His Highness the Crown Prince again in the temple, so I told him about the incident..."
"The prince knew the seriousness of the matter, so he reprimanded me and told me not to talk about it again. Seeing that the prince was so serious, I was too scared, so I didn't mention it again."
"Not long after, my father...well, it was Shu Shihuai. I don't know what rumors he heard. He found a Taoist priest to give me instructions..."
"It is said that I am destined to have evil spirits, which will overwhelm my father, my mother, and my brother... I need to go to the mountains to practice and pray for blessings to avoid disasters. If I go down the mountain under the age of eighteen, it will harm the Shu family and bring disaster..."
"Later, you also knew... and it came true. My mother was ill... my brother was frail and sick, and my sister Wanrong also died..."
"I was successfully sent to the mountain by Shu Shihuai..."
Yu Mingxi sighed: "I see." Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through her mind, and she asked: "Let me ask you, when the temple blessing said that you have the destiny of a mother to honor the world, who was there?"
Shu Yao responded innocently: "No one!"
Yu Mingxi said nervously: "You are thinking about..."
"Well... I remember that when I talked about this with the prince, Shu Wanwan heard it. Well... she just happened to walk out at that time."
Hearing this, Shu Yao was surprised. She denied: "It's impossible... She was only eight years old at the time. How could she have such deep intentions?"
"Nothing is a coincidence, only premeditation. You see, Shu Wanwan's scheming is definitely beyond your imagination..."
If this is the case, then Shu Yao was forced to leave home for eight years. How could Shu Wanwan be considered a filial piety? She was just a scum who occupied the magpie's nest, a thief who was lured into the house by Shu's parents who had no idea.
"If this is really the case, that's too terrible!" Shu Yao sighed: "If it was just to drive me out of the Shu family, then how vicious would her thoughts be when the whole family has been manipulated by her for so many years? "
Later, on the way back to Shu's house, she made every move and framed me, just to get rid of me? "Why on earth is this?" Thinking of this, Shu Yao felt chilled in her heart.
At the same time, Yu Mingxi felt her mood. Her mind was surging and her voice was cold:
"It's very simple, because you are blocking her way. Your glory, your identity, and your halo are all a stumbling block on her way to becoming a legitimate daughter, because she is ambitious and wants to replace you."
"In order to get everything that doesn't belong to her, you would use any means to frame me and hurt the father and mother who saved her and raised her?" Shu Yao couldn't believe it, how vicious this Shu Wanwan was!
"To her, this is nothing! You are the only one who takes it so seriously! This makes people's hearts become insufferable, and greedy desires turn people into devils."
After saying that, Yu Mingxi thought about it and asked again: "Sister Yao'er, do you remember what that person looks like? We can draw him and find him."
Shu Yao understood what she meant, so she slowly recalled it based on her weak impression.
"The man was dressed in a white robe, with a Taoist temple on his head, a dust bag in his hand, cotton shoes on his feet, and a cloth bag on his body. He was extremely thin, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, small and slightly yellow eyes, and a black mole under his thick lips. of prominence.”
"Shu Shihuai called him Zhenren Zhang." After saying this, Shu Yao asked again: "Are you looking for him?"
"Yes, but after the past eight years, I don't know if I can still find it, but I still have to give it a try!"
Yu Mingxi said sternly: "If I find that fake Taoist priest and it is proven that the orders he gave you back then were all fake and were all a conspiracy designed by Shu Wanwan, I will definitely make her die an ugly death."
This time, Yu Mingxi no longer asked Shu Yao's opinion, but made the decision for Shu Yao. If such a vicious woman doesn't kill her, will she stay with her for the New Year?
Shu Yao no longer had to compromise, and said cruelly: "Okay, sister Xi, we must expose Shu Wanwan in front of the Shu family, so that she will die miserably."
"Good sister, don't worry, I will never let her go easily... I will make her go crazy and die for her endless desire..."
