Chen Wanxin saw that Dong'er stopped crying, and slowly stood up. Her numb legs made her stagger slightly.

Dong'er quickly supported Wan Xin. She knew that it was because of her that the legitimate sister's legs were so weak. She said embarrassedly, "The legitimate sister, it's all because of me..."

Wan Xin put half of her body weight on Shen Dong'er before barely standing. She shook her head, "It has nothing to do with you, but you have to remember that I think you should understand what's going on in your heart when you've been suffering today."

A hint of hatred was instantly dyed in Shen Dong'er's eyes, "I know, that..."

Chen Wanxin reached out to cover Shen Dong'er's mouth, "Sister Dong'er, follow me and listen to Zhuyuan, let's talk about it later when we go back."

Chen Wanxin winked at Dong'er, and Dong'er immediately understood and nodded obediently. Wanxin slowly let go of his hand. Dong'er wiped his tears and still cried, "Legitimate sister..."

Chen Wanxin nodded to her, said nothing, slowly helped Dong'er up, and the two walked out step by step. The evening sun shone on the two girls, and the girl's thin body seemed even more lonely and helpless, and the shadow behind the girl became bigger and bigger as they moved forward step by step.

The two stopped at this time and looked at the scarlet setting sun. At Shen Wanxin's instructions, Dong'er turned around and looked at her shadow, nodded to Chen Wanxin. Chen Wanxin helped her comb the broken hair on Dong'er's face behind her ears. The two girls continued to walk towards Tingzhuyuan.

Tingzhuyuan

Mingyue and Xiatian were waiting for Wanxin to come back in the yard with pins and needles. It was already past dinner time, and neither of them was in the mood to eat anything. Xiatian thought of going to the front hall to see the lady's condition more than once, and Mingyue stopped her.

After the two decided that if Wan Xin didn't come back, they would go to the yamen to find Chen Qiang to come back. Now there is flooding in Taiqingzhuang, not far from the capital. Chen Qiang has not returned to his house for nearly a month, and now only the eldest son can save the lady.

Just when the two agreed to go to find Chen Qiang, Chen Wanxin helped Shen Dong'er back. Mingyue and Xia Tian saw the lady back, and hurriedly went forward, "Miss, you are back, why are you bleeding from your forehead?" Although the blood on Wanxin's forehead had dried up, they were still seen by the sharp-eyed maid at first glance.

If Mingyue hadn't reminded that Wan Xin had forgotten that she had been thrown away by Master Shen, she wouldn't even reach out to touch her wound. Instead, Dong'er was even more panicked, "Sister-in-law, I forgot that you were injured too. Why did my father act so cruelly to you?"

Wan Xin said indifferently, "I'm used to it. It's already late. You probably haven't eaten, Mingyue goes to make some food."

Shen Dong'er shook her head, "My sister, I can't eat..."

"Dong'er, I know you are very uncomfortable, but you are punishing yourself if you don't eat, and those who hurt you will not change anything because of this, do you know?" Wan Xin patiently enlightened Dong'er. She understood that this girl had experienced major setbacks in her life and was able to maintain her rationality in front of her, which was enough to prove Shen Dong'er's inner strength.

Dong'er nodded obediently. After the sisters had a simple supper, Mingyue cleaned the room for Dong'er and asked her to stay. Dong'er came to Wan'er's room and saw Wan'er reading a book under the light. The candlelight of the light was burning, making Wan'er's face softer than before. Wan'er discovered Dong'er's arrival, closed the book, and smiled, "You have been tired for a day today, why haven't you had a rest yet?"

"My sister, you have been tired for a day and are still reading books. Compared to you, I am simply..."

Wanxin looked down at the book in his hand and said distractedly, "I'm just used to it. I have to flip through it every day, otherwise I really can't sleep. You come so late, but what do you want to say to me?"

Dong'er slowly raised her head and looked at Wan Xin with flashing eyes. Although the girl's face in front of her had not changed at all, somehow her eyes were different from Bai Tian, ​​with a character called strong. "Legitimate sister, my mother..."

Wan Xin heard Dong'er mention Wu's situation and sighed slightly. She had no sympathy for Wu's situation. Everything was caused by Wu's fault and was just to suffer the consequences. "I know you feel sorry for your mother, but the current situation is no longer something you and I can reverse."

Dong'er shook her head, bit her lower lip tightly. Why didn't she know that her mother had reached a dead end? No one could save her. Even now, her elder brother still had not returned home. She sent a servant to look for someone. She never thought that even Shen Jian's people had not seen him, so she was coaxed out by the Baihua Building's guardhouse without even seeing him, saying that Mr. Chen had instructions that no one would be seen by the Shen family. The servant had no choice but to come back to report to Dong'er. After hearing this, Dong'er was not surprised, but the remaining brother-sister relationship for Shen Jian was consumed.

"My sister, I'm not here to say anything to my mother. I know that her fate today has a lot to do with what she has done."

Wan Xin was shocked when she heard Dong'er say this. She didn't expect that Dong'er was so wise and it was about the people she was closest to. She could jump out and see the truth of the whole thing outside. "Dong'er, even your sister-in-law has to admire you. Even if you say anything, I will do it as long as I can."

The little daughter on Shen Dong'er's face was gone, and what was left was hatred that was inconsistent with her age, and she was determined. "My sister, today's affairs were clearly instigated by the Fourth Aunt. Although my mother was narrow-minded, she did not have the brain or the ability to find poisonous weeds. She should not have known that poisonous weeds before. If Jiang hadn't been ruthless and wanted to kill people with a knife, my mother would not have fallen into this situation."

Wan Xin nodded frequently as Shen Dong'er's words. It seemed that Dong'er already knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was, but Dong'er didn't think about why there were poisonous weeds in the kitchen. She thought it was Wu who had used up all the remaining items that were left without any treatment. However, she didn't know that the poisonous weeds were brought in by Wan Xin on the same day. Wan Xin did not intend to tell Dong'er the truth of this fact. Although her own fault was wronged, if Dong'er knew about it, she might even hold a grudge together. Now she has enough enemies and does not want to add people to the point of dealing with them in vain.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to avenge my mother and let Jiang receive the punishment she should accept."

"Oh?" Wan Xin raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me, how do you punish Jiang? Now you are an unpopular concubine, and Jiang is his father's beloved fourth concubine."

Dong'er sighed helplessly, "I have no choice now, nor can I deal with her. But my sister-in-law, you will help me."

Chen Wanxin smiled and said, "Sister Dong'er, tell me why I want to deal with Jiang? I am just a person who is like you, and even worse than you. Although I am the legitimate daughter, I just came back from the countryside."

"My sister, I believe you. If you want to help me, you will definitely have a solution." Dong'er took a step forward and said to Wan Xin excitedly. "I know you have nothing to do with your attitude. Tomorrow, Sister, you will meet my mother for me. I think she will tell you something and ask you to help me."

"Oh? Are you so sure?"

Shen Dong'er nodded. Now Wu is a sinner in the Chen family, and Shen Dong'er's identity as a concubine's daughter is not qualified to visit Wu. Chen Wanxin is different. She is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. No one will stop her from doing anything in the Shen family.

"Okay, I'll go to the woodshed tomorrow to meet with the third aunt. Sister Dong'er, do you have anything to say to me to take over? You must know that if you part tomorrow, it may be..." Chen Wanxin did not finish his words. Wu would leave the Chen Mansion tomorrow during the day and was sent to a wilderness far away from the capital. He would not come back in this life. It can be said that Shen Dong'er and Wu met for the last time in the front hall today.

After hearing this, Shen Dong'er wanted to speak again. After several repetitions, she smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you, my sister. I have nothing to say to her. In the last sentence, let her take care of herself and I will avenge her."

Chen Wanxin nodded, and the breeze outside the window blew in from the window. On the hot summer day, there was a refreshing cool breeze, which relaxed today's nervous mood a lot.

After Shen Dong'er left, Chen Wanxin did not continue reading. She sat at the desk, staring at the oil lamp in front of her, staring blankly. Recalling what Shen Dong'er had just said, I didn't know what Wu would say to her, so that Dong'er could be so sure that she would help her. Chen Wanxin could not guess that she realized that Shen Dong'er's growth was so rapid. In just one day, she changed from a ignorant girl to a person who can bargain, know how to negotiate, and know the standards of speaking. Chen Wanxin didn't know whether she should be relieved or sad for Dong'er.

Since Wan Xin was reborn, she has been sleeping poorly. She will recall the past in her previous life in her dreams, including the rigorous and ruthless ruthlessness, the murder of Shen Rufei, and the scene of her elder brother tragically dying...

Today is no exception. In her dream, she saw the eldest brother's daughter, that innocent and lively child... Chen Wanxin woke up and found that there were still tears in the corners of her eyes that had not yet dried up, so she knew that she had really cried again at night. It was strange that she had no tears in her real life, and she was still so easily moved in her dream.

After a brief wash, Chen Wanxin came to Dong'er's room. She knew that the girl must have not slept all night last night. When she pushed the door in, she saw Shen Dong'er sitting at the desk in a daze. Shen Dong'er had no idea about Wanxin's arrival, and still looked at a place with unconscious eyes. Wanxin walked in and stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her. Dong'er then responded, "Sister-in-law, you got up so early..."

Chen Wanxin looked at the bed behind Dong'er. The bedding was still flat, and it was obvious that no one fell asleep on it all night. Chen Wanxin said without understanding the silence, "I want to go to the woodshed to see your mother. You have anything to bring to her, or you have anything to say, I can bring you with you. If..." Wanxin paused, looked up at Dong'er's expression and continued, "If you really want to see your mother for the last time, you can't find a way..."

Shen Dong'er tried hard to smile from the corner of her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, this smile would make people feel even more sad. "My sister, I don't think so, what's the use of meeting or not? I think my mother wants to see her the most, not me. You also said that I will never see you again in my life, and it doesn't make any sense to meet again. Thank you, Sister..."

Seeing that Shen Dong'er had already said this, Chen Wanxin stopped saying anything, so he had to nod, "Okay, I'll go to the woodshed now and ask when the third concubine will set off."

Shen Dong'er nodded dullly, and tears fell in her hollow eyes again. Although Wu has always been mean, this is her closest relative, so she can't see her.

Chen Wanxin was about to go out when he suddenly thought of something, paused, turned his head and said, "Yesterday, I pointed out in the front hall that I saw poisonous weeds in your mother's kitchen. Do you hold a grudge against me?"

Hearing Wan Xin's question, Shen Dong'er raised her head and looked at her. Her beautiful eyes were not a trace of figure. She shook her head, "Sister-Leader, why would I blame you? You just told the facts you saw. My mother's fate today has nothing to do with you. It's because she was not right in her mind, and the person who instigated her is the ultimate evil! If you don't say anything, then you will be the one who was tortured today. Besides, I know that you have never done it before, my mother, she... did this too."

After listening to Dong'er's statement, Wan Xin nodded. It seemed that she really did not misunderstand this sister. She did not expect that there would be such a person in the Shen family.

"My sister... can you bring some snacks? I think she probably hasn't eaten since last night."

Wan Xin nodded and immediately ordered Mingyue to make some snacks and prepare a pot of shochu.

Chen Wanxin came to the woodshed. What she didn't expect was that there was only one servant guarding the door and a sinful woman who was about to leave the Chen Mansion, no longer had to waste manpower to take care of her. The one who was left behind was also to prevent Wu from escaping.

The servant saw that the visitor was Chen Wanxin, so he asked for a favor. Chen Wanxin looked at the door with the iron lock, "Open the door, I want to go in..."

"This..." The servant was in a little embarrassed. Master Shen did not give any instructions that Chen Wanxin would not come to visit Wu. "Miss, in two hours, Wu will be escorted away. What are you going in now to see? She is like a crazy woman now, and she is afraid that she will hurt the lady by chance."

Chen Wanxin glared at the phoenix eyes and smiled at the servants, "It seems that my status as a legitimate lady in the Shen family is worthless. Do you really think that the wife can cover up the sky with one hand?"

The servant was stared at by Chen Wanxin. He was just a servant in Chen Mansion and earned some money. "It's nothing. Since the young lady wants to go in, he can go in." Then he opened the door of the woodshed, "Miss, if you encounter any danger, just shout, the younger one is waiting outside the door."

Chen Wanxin responded and walked into the woodshed. As soon as he entered the woodshed, which had not been seen for many years, there was a strong and moldy smell. Chen Wanxin covered his nose with his sleeves. In the dim woodshed, there were debris placed in a mess, and the light inside was very dark. After a while, Wanxin vaguely saw that there was a person sitting next to the pile of firewood.
