Chapter 1422 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"It was Chu Yanzhi who displeased the Master." The taciturn young man who had been following Shen Yue spoke up, but he only said that one sentence and did not say anything more.
Shen Yue only glanced at him, seemingly without any intention of blaming him.
"Let's go in first." Shen Yue pulled A-Zhan along, just like before, still so affectionate, and even still somewhat attached to A-Zhan.
In truth, Shen Yue couldn't explain it either. With so many people she knew, why did she trust and cling to someone a few years younger than herself so much? As it turns out, over the years, Zhen'er has indeed proven to be a trustworthy person.
Sister Zhen'er always manages to say a few words of affirmation to her when she is feeling lost or doubting herself.
She was able to persevere until today, and she was able to react so quickly back then, all thanks to the other party.
She couldn't be this close to even her aunt.
Even after she found out the truth and told her aunt, all she got in return was silence. Instead of denouncing her biological father as an evil person, as she had hoped, her aunt did not respond.
Fortunately, she had already figured this out, after all, they were siblings.
Shen Linsu harmed her own mother's family, but did nothing to anyone Shen Miao cared about. She didn't care how her aunt reacted, but the aunt wouldn't be able to persuade her otherwise. Once Shen Linsu reappeared, she would definitely seek revenge.
On the way to Peach Blossom Manor, Shen Yue briefly told Azhen about the situation over the years, and of course, she also mentioned what made her unhappy today.
It turned out to be about Yi Xiaolan and Shen Yu. Chu Yanzhi was dissatisfied with her and said some unpleasant things.
Shen Yue didn't even need to repeat it; Azhen could roughly guess what she was saying.
Because the client had experienced something similar before, Chu Yanzhi felt that anyone who was indifferent, assertive, or even slightly ignoring Yi Xiaolan and Shen Yu had suffered a great injustice.
Today's incident involved Shen Yu wanting to play with Shen Yue, but Shen Yue refused, so Shen Yu started crying and making a scene. However, the current Shen Yue is no longer the naive little girl she once was. She carries too much burden, and Shen Linsu is still an enemy to her. Not taking her anger out on Yi Xiaolan and Shen Yu is her only remaining principle and kindness; how could she possibly be close to Shen Yu?
When Chu Yanzhi saw Shen Yu crying and making a scene, he scolded Shen Yue, saying that she was so cold and heartless that she had become unrecognizable, which disappointed him greatly.
When these things were mentioned, Shen Yue sneered, "Some people really don't know what's good for them."
“You shouldn’t be the type to suffer these grievances right now,” A-Zhen said. Even if Shen Yue didn’t hold a grudge against Yi Xiaolan and her daughter, as well as Chu Yanzhi, there might be another reason why she kept them at Peach Blossom Manor. She could guess a bit about it.
Shen Yue said, "Sister Zhen'er, I'm not afraid to tell you, keeping two weaknesses by your side can sometimes have amazing effects."
“If they stay here, one day Shen Linsu will remember them and come looking for them. Even if he doesn’t have any feelings for them, he might come back for other reasons.”
“If I really don’t care about anything and am indifferent to them, Shen Linsu will not dare to appear in front of me.” Shen Yue pursed her lips. “It’s been many years, and I haven’t heard from him at all. Sometimes I get quite impatient waiting. I don’t know what method I can use to get him to show up.”
She really did a lot in order to wait for Shen Linsu to appear.
Even at the beginning, she felt some sympathy for Yi Xiaolan. After all, marrying someone like Shen Linsu was truly a terrible misfortune.
Over the years, her initial sympathy for him had almost completely worn away.
As for Chu Yanzhi, any goodwill I had towards him in my youth had long since vanished. He's someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, can't see the bigger picture, is self-righteous, and even somewhat selfish. His so-called loyalty and righteousness require her to compromise with Yi Xiaolan and her daughter—it's truly laughable.
Finally, after passing through the illusionary array that was far more powerful than before, they entered the manor. Shen Yue said no more.
Shen Yue had been arguing with Chu Yanzhi earlier, so he and Yi Xiaolan knew that Azhen had come to Peach Blossom Manor today and were waiting for her.
When the two of them saw Azhen, they were both stunned for a moment.
Years have passed, and Azhen is now a young girl, vaguely resembling her former self, but the changes are still significant.
"Zhen'er, you've come here. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Yi Xiaolan asked.
Azhen said in a nonchalant tone, "I came here quietly to give Yue'er a surprise."
"This is your sister, Shen Yu. This is the first time you've met, isn't it?" Yi Xiaolan quickly took the little girl's hand and introduced her to Azhen.
Shen Yu is indeed quite cute, but there is no affection or closeness in her eyes when she looks at A-Zhan. Instead, she keeps hiding in Yi Xiaolan's arms, as if she is somewhat rejecting A-Zhan.
“Junior sister, you’re frightening Yu Yu. This is your own sister. Don’t be so cold, okay?” Chu Yanzhi said, gently patting Shen Yu’s head. “Yu Yu, she is your own sister. Don’t be afraid.”
Shen Yu then looked up at Azhen and timidly called out, "Sister."
Azhen responded indifferently, not paying any attention to Chu Yanzhi's reminder.
Chu Yanzhi realized he was being ignored and became angry, his face even turning red: "Junior sister, what's wrong with you? What did Master's wife do wrong? What did Yu Yu do wrong? You have to be so petty about a little girl who's only a few years old?"
Shen Yue frowned. What should she do? She really wanted to kick these guys out.
Normally, she could tolerate them staying at Peach Blossom Manor for her own purposes. But now that her friend had been wronged, she could no longer bear it.
Before she could say anything more, Azhen's figure appeared in front of Chu Yanzhi in a flash, followed by two slaps to Chu Yanzhi's face, instantly swelling his cheeks symmetrically.
"A brat who doesn't even respect his teacher shouldn't try to teach me how to do things."
"What you do to Shen Yu is your business. Don't invite me. I'll only say this once. If you do it again, it won't just be a matter of two slaps."
Azhen wouldn't let someone like Chu Yanzhi shit on her head. If he had to say something, a couple of beatings would be enough. If he said anything more, she'd beat him again.
Yi Xiaolan hadn't expected Azhen to attack so directly. Her eyes turned red with anger, and she pointed at Azhen, saying, "Zhen'er, how could you do this? Is this how your father raised you? Is Master Xu really so bad at raising his daughter?"
Azhen gently raised her head and glanced at Yi Xiaolan indifferently: "Is there anything else?"
Yi Xiaolan was abruptly silenced, still seething with anger. Just as she was about to speak, Azhen spoke first: "You know why you and Father divorced back then, and Father knows too. Don't think I don't know." (End of Chapter)
