The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Chengyi burst into tears, "Xia'er, I don't deserve it!"

The words "upright and noble" were like a slap in his face.

The way my daughter imitated Cen Yuan's speech suddenly appeared in my mind. "Reading can help people know honor and disgrace, distinguish right from wrong, analyze things well, and have a strong heart to remain calm in the face of adversity."

Didn't he always demand himself to know honor and disgrace and distinguish right from wrong?

Integrity, nobility, and character of pine and cypress.

Read the books of sages and walk the bright path.

He even disdains to curry favor with others to build relationships, so his career has been stagnant and has made no progress.

Because he believes that people with ability will be seen one day.

When did he become so narrow-minded and mean? Once he had evil thoughts in his life, he became a demon.

At this moment, Shi Chengyi deeply understood why his daughter Shi Anxin suddenly became unrecognizable after being well-behaved for more than ten years.

It's because you're too picky and have evil thoughts, and you see malicious intent in everyone.

Shi Chengyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Enlightenment.

He almost took this path of no return! He even developed resentment towards the emperor in his heart.

How dare he?

If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die. How dare he have such a rebellious thought in his heart?

Fortunately, before he did something stupid like his daughter Shi Anxin did and dragged his entire family to death, he was awakened by Shi Anxia.

Shi Chengyi was extremely ashamed and said in a hoarse voice, "Xia'er, thank you."

What he couldn't see was that Shi Anxia was already in tears and her heart was broken.

Because it was the relative who had always been "upright and noble" in her mind who shot the sharpest arrow at her lover.

The entire North Wing was branded as an unkind and unjust person because of him!

Her lover still feels so painful that he faints when he talks about the past... and she still has to endure the grief and pull him up from the edge of the cliff.

Just as she said, the man in front of her was like a rebirth for her. How could she just watch him go further and further away?

The most satisfying thing in life is to be happy with gratitude and revenge. The most difficult thing is to be unable to love, hate, and resent, but unable to sit idly by.

Shi Anxia endured the pain in her heart and slowly stood up. "Today is New Year's Eve, the day for the family to reunite. Third uncle and fourth uncle will all be here. You are the most important person in the family, you must not be absent. Uncle, Xia'er is waiting for you to take charge of the situation in the Marquis' Mansion. As for Nanny Huang and the others, leave them alone for now."

Shi Chengyi felt so ashamed that he had no place to put his old face.

His own family is in chaos and turmoil. What qualifications does he have to take charge of the overall situation?

Then An Xia said, "Brother Yunzhou and sister Xue'er have always been proud of you. I hope uncle will not let them down."

After saying this, she bowed through the screen and left the room.

With tall hats pressing down on him one after another, Shi Chengyi fell heavily on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Shi Anxue poked her head out and called out several times through the screen, "Father, father..."

Shi Chengyi quickly wiped his eyes, sat up and put on his clothes, then said, "Xue'er, come in."

Upon hearing this, Shi Anxue walked around the screen and threw herself into her father's arms, bursting into tears, "Father, father, Xue'er is so sad."

Shi Chengyi held his daughter tightly on his lap and wiped away her tears. "Why are you sad, Xue'er?"

Shi Anxue raised her tearful face, "Liuzhi said that she would be a concubine in the future. Like my second sister's mother, she would be a concubine to my father! She also laughed at Xue'er for being stupid and said that Xue'er was ignorant... Father, Xue'er is not stupid. Xue'er just knows that she can't be a concubine. Don't you agree, father?"

If his daughter had asked this question before Shi Anxia came in, Shi Chengyi would have been upset.

But now it was different. He had made up his mind and answered with certainty, "Xue'er is not stupid. My daughter is very smart. Father will let them leave the house in two days and will not allow them to live here."

Shi Anxue raised her voice in surprise, "Really? Father didn't lie to Xue'er?"

"Of course, when has father ever lied to Xue'er? In addition to teaching people to distinguish right from wrong, reading also teaches people to keep their promises." Shi Chengyi stretched out his finger, "Tick!"

Shi Anxue stretched out her tender little finger and hooked it around her father's finger. "Make a promise! Xue'er must study hard and be a person who can distinguish right from wrong and keep her promises like her father."

What a compliment! Shi Chengyi's face turned red.

Yu Sujun outside the door turned around silently and went back to her room to pack her things.

As the mistress of the main house, she should have arrived at the Marquis's Mansion to help earlier.

This was Wei Cailing's first year as a newlywed to manage such a large family reunion, and she should have gone to help in the first two days. However, due to the troubles at home, she passively avoided it.

Yu Sujun is actually very clear-headed and does not indulge in love affairs.

It is a good thing to be able to love her husband. Even if they are not, it will not hinder her from supporting her children.

She thought very clearly that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with Nanny Huang and her grandchildren.

If her husband was protecting her, she would not be able to do anything. But now that her husband has let her go, she has plenty of ways to deal with him.

As for her husband's love... she had never really expected it since she married into this family. She only wanted a roof over her head, and since he gave her that roof, she respected him as the sky.

From now on, it will all be up to God.

The love of the past disappeared like smoke, and she no longer had any hope for it.

She was not an intolerant person. Just like she was always polite to her aunt Dingxiang and never treated her harshly.

She just couldn't tolerate restless troublemakers like Huang Ma and her grandson. Anything that made her family unhappy was her enemy.

While thinking this in her mind, her hands did not stop at all. When Yu Sujun finished packing and turned around, she saw Shi Chengyi standing at the door with a guilty look on his face.

He uttered a few words in a deep voice, "Su Jun, I'm sorry."

Yu Sujun was silent for a moment, then said, "My husband, have you packed? Go to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to keep everyone waiting."

Shi Chengyi thought that Yu Sujun would burst into tears when she heard his apology, but he never expected that she would be so calm, as if nothing had happened.

He felt that he should explain, "Su Jun, I said something nonsense that day, please don't take it to heart."

Yu Sujun nodded neatly, "Okay, I don't mind it."

Shi Chengyi: “…”

This feels like suffocation.

"You know, when we quarrel, we talk without thinking." Shi Chengyi continued to explain with difficulty.

Yu Sujun raised her eyes and said seriously, "Is it possible that what you say in your head is the truth?"

Shi Chengyi was not used to Su Jun's alienation, "No, it's not like that..."

"Now that we've come to this, I'll have a few more words with my husband." Yu Sujun was still quick to speak, "As for Shi Anxin, I treat her as my own daughter. But there is a difference in raising a biological child and a non-biological child. I don't need to tell you this, you should know it too."

"I said, I believe you..."

"No," Yu Sujun interrupted Shi Chengyi, "but I can't be responsible for Shi Anxin's life. I'm afraid of being blamed, afraid that one day Shi Anxin will not marry well, you scold me, her grandparents scold me, she scolds me too..."

Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: If it is not your responsibility, don’t take it on!
