Chapter 20: He doesn’t love enough

  Shen Zhenshan's thick eyebrows were furrowed. He turned around and yelled: "An Xing, Shu'er! You actually poisoned the third girl's yard!"

  Shen Anxing was as frightened as a quail and said uneasily: "My younger sister and I just can't stand the dog in the third sister's yard. Every time we pass by Baimei Courtyard, the dog always barks."

  Shen Shuer's eyes were red and she was filled with grievances: "Third sister has a very ferocious dog. Last time I went to Baimei Courtyard, the dog almost pounced on me and killed me... Third sister has always protected the dog, no matter what Ken gave it away...so..."

  As she spoke, Shen Shuer's tears fell.

  The third sister has become very strange recently. She is not filial to her mother and does not care about Shen Shuer and Shen Anxing. The brother and sister discussed last night and decided to teach Shen Baiyu a lesson and poison Shen Baiyu's dog.

  Who would have thought that two useless servants actually put aconite into the water tank.

  "Mother, Shu'er really didn't mean it. I didn't want to poison the third sister." Shen Shu'er held Tantai's hand, her almond-shaped eyes moist.

  Shen Anxing also muttered: "It's a small thing, and besides, the third sister wasn't poisoned to death."

  Shen Zhenshan's heart was shaken and his eyes were bright: "Is this a trivial matter? Your third sister was almost poisoned to death. This is a trivial matter! Why don't you apologize to the third girl quickly!"

  It was rare for Shen Zhenshan to get angry, and both Shen Anxing and Shen Shuer were frightened.

  Shen Shuer and Shen Anxing pursed their lips and walked to Shen Baiyu reluctantly. Shen Shuer had tears in her eyes: "Third sister, it's all my fault. But I really hate that dog, so just throw it away, okay?"

  Shen Anxing is tall and has a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. He has an unruly and careless look on his face, and his apology is insincere: "Third sister, I'm really sorry. It's my bookboy who is stupid. I really didn't want to poison you. I just want to poison you." That dog.”

  The two apologized politely.

  Mr. Tantai breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. General, I'll just let this matter go."

  Shen Zhenshan originally wanted to turn things over, but seeing Shen Baiyu's cold face, Shen Zhenshan remembered his debt to his third daughter, so he scolded: "Is poisoning a trivial matter? An Xing, Shu'er, I'll punish you by kneeling down. Two hours of ancestral hall!”

  Shen Shuer and Shen Anxing were shocked, their knees ached slightly, and painful memories came to their minds again.

  The cold ancestral hall, the gloomy incense candles, they don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall!

  "Dad, if I don't go and kneel in the ancestral hall, Shu'er already knows that I'm wrong." Shen Shu'er pouted coquettishly.

  Shen Anxing also scratched his head: "I still have to study in the morning!"

  The brother and sister started to make a fuss, Shen Zhenshan shouted in a low voice, and the Tantai family begged for mercy... The poisoning incident seemed to have ended, and no one was looking at Shen Baiyu who had escaped from death.

  Shen Baiyu took a deep breath and raised her head. The bright sunshine hurt her eyes.

  Shen Baiyu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

  He stepped forward and slapped Shen Shuer hard on the face.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Snapped--

  Shen Shuer was stunned.

  Shen Baiyu: "A pampered idiot who maliciously poisons himself for his own selfish reasons. Thinks he can get away with it by pretending to be stupid and doing misfortune?"

  Shen Baiyu turned around and slapped Shen Anxing hard on the face.

  Shen Baiyu's eyes were filled with disgust: "You are a loser who doesn't want to make progress. He has learned such tricks at a young age and is in vain."

  Two slaps, one on the left and one on the right, left and right, and bright slap marks instantly appeared on the faces of Shen Anxing and Shen Shuer.

  Chen Baiyu's palms turned red, he took out the ointment that he had prepared and slowly rubbed his palms.

  Everyone was confused.

  Chen Wang Li Jingheng and Tantai Xuan, who were about to enter the main courtyard, were also confused. Li Jingheng raised his eyebrows and took Tantai Xuan to hide in a hidden corner to watch the show in secret.

  Shen Shuer and Shen Anxing were slapped unexpectedly, and both of them were frightened. Shen Shu'er's tears fell instantly and she threw herself into Tantai's arms: "Mother, Shen Baiyu hit me!"

  When Tantai saw the slap mark on Shen Shuer's face, she was furious: "Third girl, what are you doing! You made your sister cry, and why don't you apologize quickly!"

  Shen Baiyu looked indifferent: "You can only cry over things as big as sesame seeds. Shen Shu'er, do you think shedding a few drops of cat urine can cover up the ugly things you have done? Respect the old and love the young. You don't respect the old. Why should others love the young!"

  Shen Shuer cried until she was out of breath.

  Shen Anxing next to him had never experienced such injustice. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Shen Baiyu to beat him: "You actually hit me in the face! Shen Baiyu, you bitch, you actually dare to hit me!"

  Shen Baiyu took two steps back, and Jiang Xun steadily stopped Shen Anxing.

  Shen Anxing was furious.

  Shen Baiyu said coldly: "As the son of a general, I hang out with maids all day long, go to brothels to look for flowers and willows, neglect my studies, and forget about the future of my family. If I, Shen Baiyu, were a man, I would have already established a career and devoted myself to an official career. How could I be as incompetent as you? A coward cannot be carved from rotten wood, and a coward cannot be supported by mud.”

  Shen Anxing's face turned red after being scolded.

  He could very clearly see the disgust in Shen Baiyu's eyes, the undisguised disgust full of alienation. Shen Anxing's heart felt like needles pricking her heart, and she almost couldn't recognize Shen Baiyu.

  This is not his third sister! The third sister would not hate him so much.

  Next to the moon door of the main house, in the darkness shaded by crabapple flowers, Li Jingheng played with the white jade fan in his hand and whispered: "Brother Tantai, your cousin is so powerful, with a sharp tongue and a swift and resolute manner."

  Tantai Xuan was also surprised: "Third sister has always been gentle. It's rare for her to get angry today. She must have been agitated."

  Li Jingheng smiled, his eyes even more interested.

  In the yard, Shen Baiyu rubbed his red palms and looked at Shen Zhenshan and Tantai family on the steps. She also had thousands of words she wanted to say, but they were stuck in her throat and she never said them out.

  The slap marks on his children's faces were so vivid that Shen Zhenshan couldn't help scolding Shen Baiyu: "For a dog, you actually hit your younger brother and sister? You are the older sister."

  Shen Baiyu said: "This is the dog my grandmother gave me back then. It's my grandmother's death anniversary in half a month."

  Shen Zhenshan: "It's just a dog after all."

  The corners of Shen Baiyu's mouth moved slightly, but he had nothing to say.

  Is the problem a dog?

  The problem is the vat of water mixed with aconite, and the problem is the lives of the masters and servants of the entire Baimeiyuan.

  Her father was shrewd and courageous on the battlefield, but when it came to matters at home, he always pretended to be confused. Today, Shen Baiyu finally understands that Shen Zhenshan is not really confused, he doesn't love him enough.

  Because I don't love you enough, I don't care about her anger or disappointment.

  Tantai almost hated Shen Baiyu to death: "Then what do you want to do? Are you going to send your younger brothers and sisters to the government?"

  Shen Baiyu said nothing.

  She couldn't get justice from her parents, but there are always reasonable people in the world.

  Not a moment later, Mrs. Tantai's stern scolding came from outside the main house: "You have plotted to kill your own sister, and you are stubborn and unrepentant. Immediately take action against the family. Each person will be given twenty lashes, punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, and grounded for half a month."

  Manchun invited Mrs. Tantai here.

  The old lady had white hair and walked into the courtyard of the main house with a majestic look, leaning on a bronze crutch.
