Chapter 307: Repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?
Shen Shuyi put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Old Madam Shen who still looked sick, and said gently: "I understand what grandma means."
Seeing that she looked calm and didn't back down, Old Lady Shen couldn't help but feel a little angry: "No! You don't understand!"
Shen Shuyi looked directly at Old Madam Shen in front of him with a calm expression.
She knew that her grandmother had not been close to her since she saw a ghost in the birthday picture that day. Asking her to come over now must not be a good thing.
Madam Shen's breath was unstable, and she angrily scolded: "Don't think I don't know what you have done since you returned home!"
Although he knew that this day would come, when this moment really came, Shen Shuyi still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
After all, the time when her grandmother took care of her when she was a child is still one of the few warm memories in her.
Perhaps to Old Madam Shen, she was just one of the many heirs of the Shen family, no different, but to her, she was the only grandmother.
Shen Shuyi laughed at himself: "What does grandma think I have done?"
Seeing that she was so ungrateful, Old Madam Shen looked at her directly and said in a cold voice, "Since you returned to the mansion, there have been constant incidents in the mansion, and every incident is directed at your mother. I felt sorry for you and thought that as long as you didn't go too far, I would turn a blind eye. But I didn't expect that your father and I had already punished your mother, but you still refused to stop!"
That’s right, it’s not that Madam Shen doesn’t understand. It might have been a coincidence at first, and one or two things might also be coincidences.
But if every time something happens to Qin Xuerong and her child, how can it be a coincidence?
If she was only targeting Qin Xuerong, it would be fine. After all, Qin's actions were indeed shameful. But her children were different. Her children were named Shen! They were all descendants of the Shen family!
She had been seriously ill and drowsy these days, and did not wake up at first.
Until Qin Xuerong came to her today to cry and complain, mentioning that Lin Ge'er was missing and whereabouts unknown, and talked about the harsh treatment Shen Jingyu had received from the Third Prince's wife...
"Mother, even if you don't like your daughter-in-law, Lin Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are your grandchildren! If you let Shen Shuyi do this, aren't you afraid that the master will be childless in the future?"
A sentence that awakens a person from his dream. It is true that the Shen family still has Ang'er, but how can we know that Ang'er will not be targeted in the future?
She had always believed that the prosperity of the Shen family's offspring was a blessing to the Shen family, but now, these legitimate sons and daughters were all implicated. Even if there were illegitimate sons, it would still be different.
Regardless of anything else, she always has to consider her son!
Therefore, even though she felt pity for Shen Shuyi's hard work over the years, she could not allow her to continue to act recklessly like this!
Shen Shuyi smiled, neither avoiding nor giving way, and said in a cold voice: "May I ask, Grandmother, why do you turn a blind eye? Qin Xuerong sent me to the Jade Buddha Temple and tortured me in every way. She also plotted to murder my brother and used her own children to take the throne. Have you ever sought justice for me and my brother?"
"You know everything I have done, but are you aware of everything Qin Xuerong has done?"
The girl's eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of coldness and indifference. Her usual gentleness had faded away, and at this moment, she showed a hint of aggressive sharpness, which made Old Madam Shen a little overwhelmed.
Old Madam Shen was speechless when asked. She avoided Shen Shuyi's sight and said coldly: "This is not a reason for you to murder your brothers and sisters."
Shen Shuyi said coldly: "Shuyi is not that capable yet, but I thought that grandma knew that when Qin Xuerong attacked my brother and me, you never did justice for us, so you shouldn't ask us to repay evil with kindness today."
Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?
If Qin Xuerong had ever shown any kindness to her and her brother, she might be willing to return the favor.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in many things.
"How dare you!" Old Madam Shen was so angry that her chest heaved violently and her breathing became unstable.
Shen Shuyi stood up, looked at Old Madam Shen and said slowly: "I understand how difficult it is for grandma to consider the overall situation, and I also pity your painstaking efforts to ask for family harmony. I also know that you protect every one of your descendants and are satisfied with Qin's childbearing. You want to give Qin dignity, to reassure my father, to let your descendants have someone to rely on, and you don't want constant disputes in the inner house, so the only ones who will be wronged are me and my brother who has become a disabled man..."
"But since you have chosen this path, you should have chosen to remain silent when the Qin family was defeated step by step. At least in this way, I can always convince myself that you once favored me."
Old Madam Shen looked at the girl standing alone in front of her, her lips trembling slightly.
In the orange light, the girl stood tall, her beautiful eyes staring straight at her with some reluctance.
She vaguely recalled how thin and small she was when she was taken to live with her, and how well-behaved and sensible she was.
That winter, it was freezing cold. None of the other children were willing to accompany her to practice in the snow, but she stayed with her for the entire day. The other children also thought her worshipping Buddha and chanting sutras were boring, but she was the only one who could calm down and endure the loneliness, willing to sit behind her for the entire day, and always step forward to support her the moment she wanted to get up...
Old Madam Shen also remembered that she had sat on her knees, massaging her legs with a smile on her face, and had taken an embroidery needle, wanting to make a pair of knee pads for her.
At this moment, Madam Shen's throat choked and the corners of her eyes felt a little sore.
Indeed, just as she could guess now that everything in this mansion was related to her, she had also guessed what Qin had done when she came to power.
Madam Shen said slowly: "Sister Yi, I have no choice. What happened cannot be changed. I can only look forward."
Zhao Derong died, Han Ge'er was disabled, but Qin's children were still alive and well.
Is she going to destroy another daughter-in-law and several children just for the sake of her dead daughter-in-law and disabled grandson?
No, she couldn't, so she could only look forward.
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "So I said, since grandma has chosen this path, she has no right to blame me today."
Since right and wrong were confused in the Shen family's backyard, she should have expected that one day someone would seek justice in their own way.
"Sister Yi, I know you feel wronged. I can promise you to let your father divorce Qin, but sisters Yu are your father's children after all..." Old Madam Shen's attitude softened.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were clear, cold and indifferent: "Grandma, it's too late. Besides, you won't live longer than Qin Xuerong."
Justice delayed is of no use.
She just wants her own justice!
Moreover, if Shen Jingan gained power and Shen Jingyu took the throne, even if Qin was divorced, she would still have a place in the capital and in the Shen Mansion.
Shen Shuyi bowed deeply to Old Madam Shen and said in a deep voice, "Shuyi will take his leave."
