Chapter 16: Conscience still intact?

By the time Shen Yuexi recovered from the pain of the wound, it was too late.

The fire began to grow bigger and spread, burning and expanding.

Shen Yuexi ignored her injuries and immediately started to grab fire.

But the water in the water tank had not yet been picked up, and the rest could not save the fire.

Distant water could not save the nearby fire. By the time she returned from carrying water from the river, the fire had subsided, but most of the house had been burned down.

Xiaoyuexi panicked, and her suppressed grievances began to unbearable. She stood in front of the dark room, sobbing helplessly.

"I...I just want to help, why is this happening?"

"I can't even do such a small thing well. No wonder my parents, brother, and sister don't like me..."

The sound of sobbing was intermittent, and her words could not be connected into sentences. Only after everyone carefully identified her could they hear Xiao Yuexi's words clearly.

"I also don't understand why at this time, Shen Yuexi didn't blame others, but only blamed herself."

An indifferent sword cultivator pointedly pointed out: "Don't you see that if Shen Yuerong had not been born, Shen Yuexi would not be where he is today."

For a moment, everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, after Shen Yuerong was born, the Shen family focused all their attention on her, so why did they take care of Shen Yuexi?
Shen Yubai, who was standing aside, could not deny all this.

Can……

He felt uncomfortable, and a complex look appeared on his handsome and gentle face.

When Shen's father and Shen's mother came home, Shen Yuexi, who burned down the house, naturally couldn't avoid being beaten.

After this beating, Shen Yuexi became seriously ill and no longer had the strength to apply medicine on herself.

With a "squeak" sound, the door panel that could not block the wind was pushed open.

A small figure appeared in front of Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi opened her eyes with difficulty, thinking she was going to be beaten again, but found that the person coming was Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong has a clean and round face, nice braids on her head, and a clean and beautiful skirt. Compared with Shen Yuexi's dusty and dirty clothes, it is particularly gorgeous.

"Yue Rong, why are you back..."

Xiao Yuexi was pleasantly surprised at first, and then lowered her head sadly.

She was happy to see her sister, but felt inferior and ashamed in front of the glamorous Yue Rong.

"Sister, how are you feeling?"

Shen Yuerong looked at Shen Yuexi worriedly, helped Xiao Yuexi to work, and handed her a bowl of water.

"I didn't expect that Shen Yuerong still has some conscience. Knowing that her sister was injured, she would come back to take care of her."

"My conscience is still intact, so I'm not hopeless at last."

"Shen Yuerong is just a small move. Shen Yuexi must be very happy."

The monks outside the light curtain couldn't help but sigh when they saw the sincere smile on Xiao Yuexi's face.

The house at home burned down, and Shen's father and Shen's mother were so busy that they didn't even come back for lunch.

Shen Yuerong stayed in front of Shen Yuexi for a while, then jumped out and ran out.

When she got outside the door, she fanned her nose and showed a disgusted expression, "It really stinks. It took away the fragrance on my body. I got it from Mr. Li with great difficulty!"

This sudden change of expression was already the norm for Shen Yuerong, but this time the monks were stunned and found it strange.

Didn't Shen Yuerong come back specifically to take care of Shen Yuexi?

Before they could think about it, Shen Yuerong on the light screen scampered to the room of Shen's father and Shen's mother again, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find something.

"Where is it? Why can't I find it? Was it eaten by Shen Yuexi?"

"Impossible, how could she have the courage... I'll look for it again."

Shen Yuerong muttered and continued to search.

Everyone except Shen Yubai was curious about what Shen Yuerong wanted to find from her parents' room.Finally, Shen Yuerong found a lot of pastries in a locked box under the bed.

It turned out that last time they went to the market, Shen's father and Shen's mother bought a lot of delicious food, intending to replenish Shen Yubai's health.

When they went to visit Shen Yuerong, they accidentally mentioned this matter.

Shen Yuerong broke open the lock and eagerly grabbed the pastries and snacks inside and ate them.

"My parents are really partial, buying my brother so many benefits!"

Shen Yuerong complained angrily while talking.

A box of food quickly went into Shen Yuerong's stomach. She tasted the unpalatable food and threw it aside. The room was soon filled with debris.

After eating secretly, Shen Yuerong returned to Shen Yuexi without saying a word.

"Yue Rong, where have you been?"

"Oh, I just ran out to play for a while, it's none of your business." Shen Yuerong curled her lips and responded impatiently.

Shen Yuexi pursed her lips and stopped talking.

In any case, Yuerong was very happy if he was willing to come back to take care of her.

……

"I bet Shen Yuerong only came back when she knew there was food at home!"

"The whole family is treating her with all their heart, and she still says that her parents are partial? They are indeed partial, but they are all partial to this white-eyed wolf!"

"Have you ever thought about what your parents will think when they see this scene when they come back? Is Shen Yuerong going to pin the charge of stealing on Shen Yuexi's head?"

Some people consciously understood Shen Yuerong's nature and couldn't help but start to doubt.

……

Soon, what happened on the light screen confirmed the monk's guess.

Father Shen and Mother Shen returned home and were furious when they saw the messy room.

"This damn girl Shen Yuexi is getting more and more courageous and dares to eat it secretly!"

"I must teach him a lesson today!"

Angrily, they rushed to Shen Yuexi's room and saw Yuerong taking tea and water to take care of Shen Yuexi. The two of them smiled again.

"Why are Yue Rong back? My parents miss you!"

Shen Yuerong lowered her head in embarrassment and smiled sweetly, "I heard that my sister was seriously ill and couldn't afford it, and I missed my parents and brothers and sisters, so I came back all the way."

Not a word was mentioned about eating cakes secretly.

"Yuerong, you are so considerate. Your parents' love for you is not in vain!"

"But your sister..." Mother Shen glared at Shen Yuexi, "Did you eat it while we were not at home?"

Shen Yuexi was at a loss, "What are you eating secretly?"

"How dare you pretend to be stupid!"

"Yue Rong, do you think she went to steal food from home?"

Shen Yuerong blinked, tilted her head and thought hard.

"Mom and dad, I don't know either. After I came back, I served my sister and then ran away to play. Could it be that my sister went to steal some food at that time?"

Shen Yuerong said and looked at Xiao Yuexi disapprovingly, "Sister, you are too ignorant. If you want to eat anything, just tell your parents. Why do you still eat secretly!"

The furious Father Shen wanted to take action again, but was stopped by Mother Shen who couldn't bear it, "Forget it, I'll beat him to death if I continue."

Shen Yubai was there at the time. He only believed in Yuerong's words and ignored Shen Yuexi's grievances.

Now it seems that Shen Yubai can't help but feel guilty.

But he could never let go of the tragic death of his parents, and he still held prejudice against Shen Yuexi. He turned his head and refused to look at the pitiful little Yuexi on the light screen.
