Lin Zhiyu finally responded. She wiped her tears and said, "It's my fault for being hesitant."
She should have left when she sensed something was wrong. She had no relatives and didn't know where to go, so she couldn't make up her mind.
"Stop crying, everything will get better." Shen Xingwan comforted her unconvincingly.
Lin Zhiyu forced a smile and called out, "Iris, bring me a basin of hot water and bring it in."
Iris quickly came in with the hot water, and Lin Zhiyu gathered his emotions and started to wash up and change clothes.
She looked at herself in the mirror with red eyes and said, "Let's go, don't keep the old lady waiting."
Shen Xing hugged her man before night and said, "I'll go with you."
The two of them walked out of the door together. Lin Zhiyu ignored the nanny who was waiting there and walked forward with her head lowered.
Just as the mother-in-law was about to speak, Shen Xingwan glanced at her and she immediately shut up.
There was a roaring sound in the old lady's yard, and the atmosphere was very depressing. The maid didn't dare to speak when they saw them coming, so she bowed and opened the door curtain for them.
Lin Zhiyu stopped and took a deep breath before going in. The old lady was sitting on a chair wearing a dark purple dress with a blessing pattern, looking at them with a steady expression.
A young man was kneeling on the ground. After hearing the noise, he turned to look at them, his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone.
Shen Xingwan said sarcastically in a cool tone, "Hey, you are the fifth brother, you are indeed a scholar, you are quite capable."
The fifth young master frowned, looked at her with an extremely unfriendly expression, and said silently, "Little bitch."
Shen Xingwan's expression turned cold as soon as he was young, "I'm a little bitch, so what are you? A little beast? What you say is quite interesting."
The two were at loggerheads as soon as they met, and everyone in the room was stunned.
The old lady was the first to react and angrily said, "Shut up, what are you talking about?"
Shen Xingwan snorted coldly and sat down aside without giving any face. The fifth young master continued to kneel there. The scene seemed a bit funny for a moment.
She was sitting and she was kneeling, and the fifth young master was itching his teeth with hatred.
The old lady was also uncomfortable. She rubbed her forehead and said to him, "You should get up first."
The fifth young master just got up and looked at Shen Xingwan with still strong hostility in his eyes.
Shen Xingwan was baffled as to why the real seventh lady had offended him. After all, they were brothers and sisters.
Lin Zhiyu, who had been silent until now, slowly said, "Thank you very much to the Zhou family and the old lady for taking care of me in the past two years. I am planning to return to the Lin family's ancestral home, and I came here to say goodbye to the old lady."
Lin Zhiyu thought very clearly that she wanted to leave here. Even if she starved to death outside, she was not willing to stay in Zhou's house anymore.
The old lady frowned, probably because she didn't expect her attitude to be so tough.
The fifth young master couldn't sit still anymore, "I won't let you leave!"
"Xiao Wu, you are so presumptuous!" the old lady said in a deep voice, "Have you read all your books into the dog's belly?"
The old lady was really angry. Although she did not make a big mistake by causing such a disgraceful thing, she felt unhappy when she thought that it was her grandson who had raised her carefully that caused the trouble.
The fifth young master reluctantly shut up and lowered his eyes.
The old lady looked at Lin Zhiyu quietly. She was not very beautiful in appearance, but she did have a unique and attractive temperament.
"What happened today is that Xiaowu is sorry for you."
Lin Zhiyu said expressionlessly, "I'll just treat it as if I was bitten by a dog. Madam, don't take it to heart."
What he said is heartbreaking. Anyway, his innocence is still there, and there is still room for maneuver.
Lin Zhiyu's attitude made it clear that he had no interest in the Zhou family and the fifth young master. The old lady didn't know whether she was happy or worried.
"You don't really want to leave?"
"I will leave as soon as possible." Lin Zhiyu said softly.
The fifth young master looked directly at her, "You are already mine, where else do you want to run to?"
It's all the fault of that damn maid from Iris, otherwise he would have cooked rice today.
Lin Zhiyu looked at him coldly, "You really make me sick. I would rather be a ghost than be your person."
The fifth young master was immediately irritated. He stood up from his seat and strangled Lin Zhiyu's neck. "Then you go and eat..."
Lin Zhiyu suddenly had difficulty breathing and began to struggle, "Let go..."
Things happened so unexpectedly that the old lady slapped her hand on the table, "This is so outrageous, why don't you go and pull her away."
There were all young maids in the room, and several people rushed towards him but did not pull him away.
Shen Xingwan stood up, picked up the stool in his hand, and said, "Get out of the way."
"If you don't let go, I will smash it. I won't show mercy..."
"I'm counting to three, one, two..."
The fifth young master was wary of her, but finally let go of his hand, and Lin Zhiyu was thrown to the ground.
The fifth young master turned around and looked at her with piercing eyes, "You shouldn't be living in this world, and you dare to interfere with my affairs now."
He grabbed the stool from Shen Xingwan's hand and was about to attack her.
Shen Xingwan calmly took a step back. At the critical moment, Fei Yanfei kicked the stool out of his hand and unsheathed the soft sword at his waist.
The outcome of the matter was unexpected. The old lady's hands were shaking with anger, "Stop all evil obstacles."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, "You dare to touch a hair of mine and try it."
Qi Han's power will be in vain if he doesn't borrow it.
The fifth young master's eyes turned red with anger, "I must teach you a lesson today."
Feiyan held her hand with a sword, and pointed the cold tip of the sword directly at his throat, "Your Majesty has an order, if you dare to harm the lady's character, you will be killed."
The old lady was anxious, "Why don't you kneel down to me..."
The fifth young master went mad and did not want to seek death. Faced with the ruthless secret guards, he finally retreated.
"I thought he was so tough." Shen Xingwan said sarcastically.
The old lady glared at her fiercely and said, "Stop saying a few words. These things have nothing to do with you in the first place."
The old lady never wanted to see her, and Shen Xingwan didn't give her a good look, "Zhiyu and I are in love, and I just want to take care of her affairs."
"I hope you can understand your position and it is not your turn to interfere in the Zhou family's affairs." The old lady warned sternly that an outsider would dare to interfere in their Zhou family's affairs.
Shen Xingwan has never been a troublesome person. She looked at the old lady and said word by word, "The Zhou family wants to step on me to climb up, and they also want me to be obedient and be a good young lady. They are thinking too well.
"
"You can't have both... and..." Shen Xingwan said calmly, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Madam, do you think so?"
This was the first time that Shen Xingwan showed his fangs. The old lady was shocked. She narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly.
I knew in my heart that the woman in front of me was not easy to deal with, even though she had been very peaceful in the house before.
What's frustrating is that they really can't do anything to her and can't do anything to her.
The old lady said coldly, "Are you so sure that you won't be relying on the Zhou family for a day?"
