Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 9
"Since the illness is cured, do you still remember the punishment to kneel in the Buddhist hall earlier?"

This lord servant didn't go around in circles, and he used her words to put pressure on him.

For the time being, Shen Xi didn't know what crime Shen Xin had given her, but he only knew that the person who came was not kind, so after thinking for a moment, he said along the way: "Granddaughter dare not forget."

"Don't dare to forget, why did you beat your eldest sister again just now?"

Having said this, the anger in Shen Ruopu's heart could no longer be suppressed.

Shen Xi used to be smart and cute when she was young, but when she was three years old, when Shen Chongxin and his wife took her south to Hu's house, she suddenly developed a high fever on the way.

Later, the illness was cured, but it was delayed by this, which still hurt a little fundamentally. Compared with the past, his temperament was actually somewhat different.

Before Shen Chongxin had an accident with Hu's, he didn't have much distinction between her and Shen Xin or Shen Yan.

But now, he was only impatient with her.

After returning to the mansion for more than half a month, she either had conflicts with the maids in the mansion, or had disputes with Shen Xin.

Now it's only been three or five days since he was punished last time, and Shen Xin brought his servant girl to sue her again. Hearing this, he couldn't help but get very angry!

Da Zhou was governed by the Tuo tribe, and the folk customs were much looser compared to the old-fashioned and pedantic of the Helian people, but the Shen family was a dignified third-rank official family after all, and her behavior was simply discrediting the Shen family!

While he was speaking, Shen Xi quickly glanced at Shen Xin who was sitting next to him, and laughed in his heart, it turned out that she came to make a false accusation against her!
Seeing her looking over, Shen Xin took advantage of the opportunity to shoot her a poisonous light under Liu Hai, but the panicked sitting posture did not change, so Shen Ruopu didn't notice it at all.

"Back to my grandfather, my granddaughter has been ill for many days, and I really don't have the strength to make trouble. The people in the big kitchen may testify that I didn't have a full meal until an hour ago. If it doesn't work, I'll call an adult to replace her." I'll check my pulse to see if I have the strength to beat a healthy girl."

Shen Xi looked down on such a trick, and said something lightly.

The reason why she, Shen Xin, was like this was because Shen Xi had no brains before, so she could let them play and bully them at will.

However, although her complaint was ridiculous, it made Shen Xi more confident in her previous conjecture.

If Shen Ruopu was really on the same level as them, Shen Xin would definitely not be scared away by her smashing the porcelain pillow, nor would she turn around and falsely accuse her of beating someone, but would only bring out Shen Ruopu to force her to hand over the porcelain pillow.

Since Shen Xin is really worried about Shen Ruopu, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

When Shen Ruopu heard Shen Xi's words, she straightened her face. The last time she was punished, she just pleaded that she didn't hit her!
It's just that seeing her orderly and peaceful appearance, she doesn't feel like the second girl in his impression.

"I've said it a long time ago, maybe the second sister didn't do it on purpose."

Shen Xin was sitting opposite Wu Ruopu, how could she not see his hesitation?

Immediately, he pretended to explain, and turned his head to look at the maid under the door: "It's Xia Chan who has troubles, and she came to complain. I am the elder sister, so I should let the younger sister. The younger sister is still ill. I just let her touch the two. What's the point of venting my anger? After all, she lost her parents—"

Shen Ruopu clenched his right hand on the case when he heard the words "no parents".

After Shen Xi returned to the mansion, he didn't know how many times he was messed up because of the murder of Shen Chongxin and his wife!
Recalling her previous crimes, he unknowingly turned his face cold, and looked at Shen Xi: "It's not the first time you have fought with your sister, how can I trust you?
"On the contrary, it's Sister Xin's side. Many people saw her go to Lixiangyuan to see you, but she rushed out of your room in anger. How can you explain this!"

Shen Xi glanced at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin put down the silk, sighed and stood up: "Grandfather, why don't you—"

"Sit back!" Shen Ruopu dismissed her, staring at Shen Xi again.

Shen Xin seemed to have no choice but to take two steps back, but the corners of her brows, eyes and lips were full of pride.

She was raised by Mrs. Wu when she was young, and she was Mrs. Wu's heart and soul. After Mrs. Wu's death, Shen Chongyi and Xiaoman recovered, and she and Mrs. Huang went to work abroad.

Although the days outside are a little more relaxed, who in the mansion knows?
Huang shi is used to her, and Shen Chongxin listens to Huang shi in everything, so naturally she can do whatever she wants.

On the contrary, who in the mansion doesn't know about her Shen Xi's virtues?

After coming back for half a month, even making troubles, if Shen Ruopu didn't believe her, how could he call her over?She always has to make her suffer a little before she knows how powerful she is.

As long as Shen Ruopu speaks again to punish her to the Buddhist hall, she can think of a way to force the porcelain pillow out of Aunt Pei's hands.

It really doesn't take much effort to deal with this fool!
Shen Xi looked at the ground and didn't speak.

Shen Xin came prepared, just arguing is useless, the original owner's previous arrogance made her lack of convincing in what she did now.

What's more, Shen Ruopu believed that she had beaten someone, and he was only impatient with her. How could he really find any witness to prove her innocence?

Just looking for it, apart from the people from Lixiangyuan, who else in the mansion would risk offending the head room to help her?

"Why don't you speak? Could it be that you have nothing to say?"

Shen Ruopu knocked on the table with his knuckles, he was more serious than before, and if he listened carefully, he could still feel a little sullenness.

Shen Xi focused slightly, and replied: "Grandfather knows everything, granddaughter dare not pretend to be smart to fool grandfather, whether it is true or not, God sees it.

"Since it's Big Sister's handmaiden who is here to sue, then it's my fault. No matter what the punishment is, I'll accept it.

"It's just that I have something to ask, and I hope my grandfather will allow me no matter what."

"What's up!"

Seeing that she didn't admit it, Shen Ruopu's tone became harsher as soon as her strength came up again.

"I just beg my grandfather to give me a quarter of an hour before I go back and smash my porcelain pillow with a picture of a lotus field."

Shen Xi raised his head and looked up, with a calm expression.

She didn't really want to smash the porcelain pillow, but if she didn't mention it, how would Shen Ruopu know what Shen Xin did to her?
The porcelain pillow belongs to the second bedroom, why should Shen Xin go to the door and force it to be snatched?
A dignified servant can't even tolerate his granddaughter "beating someone", but can he bear the fact that the eldest room goes to the second room to snatch the relics?

Whether it's Shen Ruopu's investigation, or the life and death of the porcelain pillow, Shen Xin can't afford the consequences!
Could she not care that Shen Xi really had a fight with them with the porcelain pillow in his arms?
