The next day, Hong Ling was holding a water basin as she curiously looked at Shen Ninghua. After holding back her curiosity for a while, she finally asked, "Miss, ever since you woke up, you've been smiling. Did you encounter anything funny?" She knew Chu Junzhi had come yesterday, but she had never faked it. Why did she look so happy today?

Shen Ninghua couldn't help looking at the mirror and discovered that the corners of his mouth had always been smiling, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Bai Yan, have you prepared the ingredients for me? "

"Miss, everything is ready."

"Yes, we'll go to Songtao Court to treat them later."

Bai Yu was a bit worried. "Miss, I've heard that the madame has been in a bad mood lately. The bamboo that serves her has been scolded many times already."

Shen Ninghua's gaze turned cold. "It's no wonder you're in such a good mood after getting your hands injured so badly." Originally, she hadn't planned on doing anything to the Xiao family. It was just that she hadn't expected that when she was drinking tea at Songtao Court the other day, she would discover a medicine that made one's body weak. At first, she thought that she had been tricked by someone, so she acted as if she didn't know anything. He didn't expect the servant girl to be sent to change the tea. Once again, she was given sterilized medicine. She immediately understood what was going on. The Xiao Clan was plotting against her to prevent her from making it too difficult to control her momentum. Since that was the case, there was no need for her to worry about anything else.

Bai Yan helped Shen Ninghua comb her makeup and said, "Miss, it's done."

Shen Ninghua nodded and said, "Let's go."

Passing by the garden, the bluebird glanced at the fake mountain behind the pond, "Miss, the young master is still there."

These few days, Shen Xuanlin had been suffering from some sort of provocation. The moment Shen Ninghua stepped out of the door, he would peek at her like a little beast avoiding her gaze.

"Let him." Shen Ninghua did not mind. Just as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Xuanlin suddenly rush out from behind the fake mountain and run straight towards her.

The cyan sparrow hurriedly stood in front of Shen Ninghua to protect him.

A few steps away, Shen Xuanlin suddenly stopped and tightly pursed his lips. His shiny black eyes stared at Shen Ninghua as he opened his mouth a few times. Finally, he shouted loudly, "Big Sis!"

Perhaps due to his nervousness, Shen Xuanlin's voice was especially loud, causing Bai Mo to jump in fright.

Shen Ninghua sized him up, "Brother Xuanlin came here to visit Grandmother with me?"

Shen Xuanlin was silent for a moment before he nodded his head heavily, "Yes."

A smile appeared in Shen Ninghua's eyes. It seemed that this child had finally learnt his lesson. "Bai Yu, go to the little young master's yard and get some clean clothes. Also, add some of our medicinal herbs as well."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua extended a hand towards Shen Xuanlin and said, "Return to my Moon Welcoming Residence first. If Grandmother sees you wearing these clothes, she won't be happy."

Shen Xuanlin blankly stared at Shen Ninghua's hand. That hand was white and delicate, and the fingernails emitted a faint pink glow. It was as if he couldn't sleep at all that night to see the Euphrates Flower; it was so beautiful that it could shake a person's mind. He clenched his fists tightly, not daring to reach out and grasp that hand, afraid that his muddy self would stain it.

Shen Ninghua did not notice his hesitation. Seeing him staring at her hands without moving, she thought he was embarrassed, so she bent down and pulled him towards Moon Facing Residence.

"Fortunately, I didn't come out too far, and I can still make it back in time. Otherwise, Grandmother wouldn't be happy if I left late and had to pay my respects."

Stunned, Shen Xuanlin let her hold onto him. Feeling the warmth coming from his hands, his eyes reddened slightly. Even though he was young, he had long since understood this matter. He knew that he was in a difficult situation, so whatever the First Lady wanted him to be, he would obediently do it. Only then could he safely survive.

However, after playing the fool for so long, he couldn't tell if he had really become stupid or not. Previously, Shen Yulan had secretly instigated him to make things difficult for Shen Ninghua. It's not that he didn't know that it was inappropriate, it's just that he was willing to do it for the sake of that hypocritical gentleness. Shen Ninghua's words woke him up. Shen Yulan would never be the big sister in his heart.

Bai Yan took the clothes over, but he didn't look too good on his face. When Hong Ling brought Shen Xuanlin down to change his clothes, she said: "I will go to young master's courtyard and those servants will all gather together to play. If I didn't ask for his clothes, they wouldn't even know that the young master is no longer in the courtyard. "Moreover, these clothes are already rather small and the material is too thick. Wear them at this time of the year …"

Shen Ninghua signaled to Bai Yu not to say anything more, but his expression darkened. In his previous life, he was not the same, and did not have any status in the Shen family at all. He always wore old clothes, and it was only until he was gifted to Baili Jinze that his condition gradually improved.

Shen Xuanlin walked in with a nervous expression on his face. He moved his hands and feet without even knowing where he should place them. Elder sister, hurry up and pay respects to Grandmother. It's time to delay the time. "

Looking at the anxious Shen Xuanlin, Shen Ninghua didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of his past life and couldn't help feeling a few more feelings of pity for him. After all, he was still a child.

"Xuan Lin, come over."

Shen Xuanlin's face turned slightly red as he excitedly approached Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua took hold of his hand. "Terrifying pain?"

Shen Xuanlin shook his head, "No."

"Alright." After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, she raised her arm and slapped Shen Xuanlin's face.

Shen Xuanlin widened his eyes as he looked at Shen Ninghua in disbelief. Why did elder sister want to beat him up? A burning pain came from his face, and he felt his cheeks slowly swell up. He could barely keep his eyes open, and he suddenly realized something was amiss.

"Big Sis … You didn't use much strength, but why is my face swollen? "

Seeing that he did not get angry and then leave, Shen Ninghua was even more certain of his decision, "Xuanlin, don't be confused, I didn't hit you. Those servants in your yard bullied you until you were young, if I did not give you money, you could go buy medicinal herbs for Grandmother and then throw you out." She had just smeared something on her hand, and now, half of Shen Xuanlin's face was swollen like a steamed bun.

Shen Xuanlin's eyes lit up, "Big Sis, I want to discuss this with Grandmother."

Shen Ninghua nodded her head in praise. Right now, the Xiao Clan was furious. She was happy to do something that would make the Zhao Clan unhappy.

"Let's go."

Shen Ninghua pulled Shen Xuanlin to the door, but Shen Xuanlin actually managed to struggle free of her grasp. He quickly ran two steps forward and abruptly crashed into the ground, rolling a few times before stopping. He turned his head back and grinned at Shen Ninghua, "Now this seems to be what it is to be."

Shen Ninghua was stunned. After regaining his senses, he immediately went over to check. His hand was broken from the fall, and he was staring at the blood droplets on his palm. "You fool, it's fine if you only pretend a little. It doesn't hurt like this?"

However, Shen Xuanlin did not seem to care. He wiped his hands on his clothes and said, "It's alright." If he missed out on it, both Big Sis and him would be in for a lot of trouble.

Shen Ninghua patted his head and led him towards Songtao Court.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw Xue Zhu run out of the main hall while covering her face. Seeing Shen Ninghua bow slightly, she turned around and walked towards the side yard. Her speed was very fast, but Shen Ninghua keenly saw a hint of red between her fingers.

Feeling Shen Xuanlin's grip on his hand tighten, Shen Ninghua withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to console him, saying, "Go in."

Shen Xuanlin obediently nodded his head, "En."

The moment they stepped into the main hall, the angry voice of the Xiao family could be heard, "Get out, all of you get out. What's the use of the Shen family raising you servants."

In the main hall, maidservants and wives were kneeling on the floor, begging for mercy repeatedly, "Please don't be angry, madame."

Shen Ninghua acted as if she didn't notice all of this. Her actions were as normal as she came forward and bowed, "Greetings Grandmother."

Seeing Shen Ninghua, Mrs Xiao calmed down a little, "Why are you here?"

"I brought medicinal ingredients for Grandmother."

"Heh, at this time, you sure are attentive." Mrs Xiao said in a mocking tone. Now, she didn't feel comfortable looking at anything.

Shen Ninghua's smile did not change. Ignoring her sarcasm, he casually found a chair and sat down. Mrs Xiao seemed to have caused enough trouble as she leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Shen Ninghua's eyes moved as he pulled Shen Xuanlin in front of him and helped him tidy up his clothes.

Shen Dong's face darkened the moment he entered and saw Shen Xuanlin's dirty clothes. "Why are you here, and why are you so dirty?"

Shen Xuanlin lowered his head, and the hand by his side tightened into a fist. No matter what happened, an unfavoured child like him would be the one to take the blame.

Shen Ninghua stood up and placed her hand on Shen Xuanlin's shoulder. Only then did he feel that the child was actually trembling slightly. He must have been afraid of Shen Dong, but he couldn't resist getting close to him. It was just that Shen Dong's fatherly love was too little:

Father, I just met Xuan Lin outside of Songtao Garden. I saw that his body was covered in dirt and his face was also injured, so I called him over to ask him. Only then did I find out that Grandmother was sick and had come to pay my respects.

The anger in Shen Dong's heart calmed down a bit, and only now did he seriously look at Shen Xuanlin to discover that his drooping face was swollen, and his brows immediately creased: "How did you get injured like that?"

Shen Xuanlin lifted his head to glance at him before he turned his head stubbornly to remain silent.

Shen Dong's eyebrows twitched: You don't even know the answer to father's question? I bet it's because you're naughty and don't know how to fall down, right? "

"No way!" Shen Xuanlin widened his eyes.

"Then how are you doing it? As the young master of the Shen family, is there anyone who can bully you?" Shen Dong was impatient.

Shen Xuanlin growled, "Someone is bullying me!"

"Nonsense!"

"I'm not spouting nonsense. Those servants deducted my monthly money and refused to give it to me. I wanted to take some money to buy medicine for Grandmother. After being discovered by them, they teamed up and beat me up." Shen Xuanlin's shiny black eyes stared straight at Shen Dong. His face was filled with suppressed anger and grief, but he stubbornly refused to shed a single tear.

Mrs Xiao suddenly spoke: "How did Mrs Zhao become a mother? Wasn't Xuanlin her own son who mistreated him like this? My Shen family still wants to spread its reputation of being harsh on a bastard? "

Shen Dong hated Shen Xuanlin, but he often caused trouble because of him. He knew that his own blood and bones were being bullied by the servants, how could he quell his anger? After hearing the Xiao family's words, she suddenly became even more disgusted with Mrs Zhao: "Men, tie up all the servants in Shen Xuanlin's courtyard and bring them over to me."
