Caizhi, the maid next to Shen Yuxiang, quickly spoke to comfort her: "Girl, don't be angry. Every kind of master has his own slave. One is a thief and the other is a shrew. Aren't they a perfect match? It's not worth getting angry with such a person. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fengxu raised his hand and slapped the maid in the face.
Shen Fengxu was not very strong, but the angle was tricky. When the maid tilted her head, the hairpin on her head almost fell off, and a clear and petite palm print appeared on her face.
Dansha was so happy that she almost clapped her hands.
Shen Fengxu said coldly: "How can my people allow you to discuss it?"
Caizhi was Shen Yuxiang's personal maid. She had never been so wronged before and almost shed tears. However, the person who beat her was Shen Fengxu, so she could only turn her head and look at Shen Yuxiang aggrievedly.
Shen Yuxiang was about to speak, but when she raised her head, she was met with Chen Fengxu's bottomless eyes. The coldness was as deep and heavy as the night, which immediately choked her original words.
In the end, he only said one sentence: "We'll see!"
Chen Fengxu turned to Cinsha and asked: "Why are you alone? Where is Cinsha?"
"When the fourth girl came here before, I asked her to go find the second girl. But at this time, the second girl may not have finished school yet."
There are seven girls in Dong Ningbo's house. Among them, the second girl, Shen Baitang, and the sixth girl, Shen Fengxu, are full-blood sisters of the same mother. They are both the children of Dong Ningbo's late wife Jiang Rou.
The fourth girl, Shen Yuxiang, is the daughter of the stepmother Jiang Wan, who is now the eldest lady.
Chen Fengxu let out a gentle breath and looked up at the sky. He saw the setting sun like blood and the sky was dark. Before he knew it, night had come quietly.
Suddenly, a maid came out of Chen Fengxu's boudoir excitedly, running one step at a time, holding an exquisite and luxurious hosta in her hand. The flower pattern on it was delicate and beautiful, and it was undoubtedly the apricot flower.
"Girl, my maid found an apricot blossom hosta on Miss Sixth's couch!"
The corners of Chen Fengxu's lips slowly pulled up into a cool smile.
"Chen Fengxu! What else do you have to say!" Shen Yuxiang pointed at the apricot blossom hosta and asked, "This hosta was found on your couch!"
Just at this moment, the cold voice of the girl outside the door came.
"So what? What can this alone explain?"
After the words fell, a girl dressed in a white gauze pleated skirt walked in slowly. A pear hairpin was inserted sideways into her bun, and her white jade earrings swayed with fragrance. Her brows were as cold as the moon, making it hard to approach.
It was none other than the second girl, Shen Baitang.
Among the two maids following Shen Baitang, one of them was Chensha, and it was she who invited Shen Baitang over.
Now back at Shen Fengxu's Rongxue Courtyard, Chensha walked quickly behind Shen Fengxu.
Shen Yuxiang sneered: "I know that the second sister and Shen Fengxu have a very close relationship, but the evidence today is conclusive. Shen Fengxu has indeed stolen my apricot blossom hosta. What else can I say to defend myself?"
"Fengxu is not the only one in the Melting Snow Courtyard. It is unknown which girl with unclean hands and feet may have stolen it."
Shen Baitang stood in front of Shen Fengxu, only a head taller than her. His back was thin but firm, blocking her behind him, as if he alone could block the wind and rain.
Shen Fengxu was a little lost.
In Dongning Bo's Mansion, although Dongning Bo Shen Yanning is her father, she is not the only girl in the manor. What's more, her biological mother has passed away long ago. Although she is the direct daughter of the man's manor, she is not favored in the manor. The existence in it is dispensable.
There are many sisters in the house, but no one treats her sincerely.
Only Shen Baitang.
In her previous life, Shen Baitang had protected her all her life, and even before her death, he had devoted all his energy and planning for her, as if her little sister was more important than Shen Baitang's own future and life.
But now...
Now that she has been reborn, there is no reason for Shen Baitang to protect her anymore.
Chen Fengxu clenched his fingers slightly.
It's time for her to protect Shen Baitang.
"It's one thing if the girl's hands and feet are not clean, but neither Shen Fengxu nor the girl in her yard has anything to do with Shen Fengxu!" Shen Yuxiang said aggressively.
Shen Baitang was about to speak, but Shen Fengxu suddenly took a step forward and said, "Fourth sister, can you see clearly, is this apricot blossom hosta yours?"
"That's natural!" Shen Yuxiang raised her eyebrows, feeling a little proud, "This is what Princess Shun Ning personally rewarded me. There is only one like this in the world, and there is no other."
So Chen Fengxu took the hosta from the maid's hand.
Others didn't understand what Shen Fengxu wanted for a while.
Just in an instant,
Chen Fengxu dropped the apricot blossom hosta on the ground. It was originally a jade ornament and was extremely fragile. Naturally, it could not withstand such a fall. It immediately broke into two pieces. The originally beautiful and bright apricot blossom was also shattered in an instant.
Shen Yuxiang was shocked for a moment.
Shen Baitang was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and said, "Isn't this Feng Xu's hairpin? How did it fall like this?"
"Yeah..." Shen Fengxu said with a little regret, "This is my jade hairpin, but I accidentally broke it. It's such a pity."
"Chen Fengxu! You are so brave!" Shen Yuxiang almost gritted her silver teeth and said angrily, "This is the apricot blossom hosta that Princess Shunning personally gifted me!"
Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on Chen Fengxu's face: "Xinghua? Second sister, look at it, is this apricot flower on the ground?"
The original flower pattern on the hosta has long been broken, so it is naturally impossible to distinguish it.
Shen Baitang smiled calmly: "I can't tell it's an apricot blossom. It's not a bad idea to say it's a pear blossom."
"You -" Shen Yuxiang's face turned red and she pointed at the two of them, "This is clearly my apricot blossom hosta, and you broke it in front of me, and you still confuse right and wrong like this!"
"I'm afraid Fourth Sister is confused." Chen Fengxu smiled slightly.
Shen Yuxiang pointed at Chen Fengxu, half of her body trembling with anger, but she knew that she could not argue with Chen Fengxu, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to tell my father, Caizhi, bring the things with you." Come on, let’s go.”
After that, he stepped out and left the Rongxue Courtyard.
Watching Shen Yuxiang leave, Shen Fengxu remained unmoved. There was only a cold arc on his lips, not paying attention to Shen Yuxiang's actions.
"Feng Xu." Shen Baitang gently took Shen Feng Xu's hand and asked with concern, "Are you feeling well? Shen Yuxiang really bullied you too much and actually pushed you into the lotus pond."
Shen Fengxu shook his head gently, looked at Shen Baitang's jade-white face, and showed a warm smile: "Second sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine. I have a heavy workload recently and I can't take care of you all the time. You should also take care of yourself." Shen Baitang held Shen Fengxu's hand and said, "Although my mother is gone, I am the second sister here. , the same thing."
Since the death of his biological mother Jiang Rou, they were the only two sisters in Dongning's residence who depended on each other and supported each other. Without Shen Baitang's presence, Shen Fengxu might not be able to move forward in Dongning's residence.
The night was getting darker, and the silver-white moonlight fell on the ground, and also fell on the two sisters. It was a rare tranquility and leisure in Dong Ningbo's house.
