In the hall, Shen Yan stood nervously: "Sister, I was ignorant before and ruined your kindness. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Shen Ning has always been reluctant to believe other people's apologies. If he did something wrong, he would ask for forgiveness and then be forgiven. So what? Did anything change?

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Shen Yan pursed her lips, feeling very embarrassed, but still explained her purpose in a low voice: "I...I still want to ask my sister for help to make a decision."

She said the same thing last time, and it made Shen Ning angry. Shen Yan quickly said, "I will definitely listen to my sister this time."

Afraid that Shen Ning would refuse, she hurriedly continued: "Dad and brother..."

She felt sad for a moment, then quickly suppressed her tears: "We have no male offspring in the second branch, so my grandmother and uncle have set their eyes on the second branch's house, saying that since no one lives there, it would be more lively if we all live together, and they can also take care of us. In fact, they just want to occupy it because we are easy to bully."

"My mother knew about their plan. Although she didn't agree, she didn't object. She just said that it was not legitimate for them to live in the Shen family's house. So they said that if I marry my second cousin, it would be legitimate if we became a family. He could also support us and prevent us from being bullied by my sister."

Shen Yan's face was full of resistance: "My second cousin has a good relationship with my brother. He is basically birds of a feather, a playboy. Several maids in the mansion are his concubines. If I marry him, I will definitely end up like my sister-in-law."

She suddenly knelt on her knees: "Please sister, save me."

Shen Ning was not at all surprised at Zhao and the Zhao family's plan. They only had that much brains.

However, when Shen Yan encountered problems, she didn't try to find a solution herself but just asked others for help, which made Shen Ning speechless. Is her brain just for show?

"I won't help you." Shen Ning said bluntly: "This is a matter between you and your daughter. If I help you, your mother will definitely hate me. Now she already hates me to the core. If I help again, she will fight me to the death."

When she took action before, apart from a little bit of sisterly love, she mostly didn't want the second house to get involved in the Marquis' Mansion and really rescue Shen Ming.

There is nothing good for her at all in the current situation. If she gets involved, she will only get into trouble. She is not someone who would be so selfless as to do good things for others.

Shen Yan was anxious in an instant: "Sister, I...I really have no other choice...If you don't help me, I really don't know what to do."

Shen Ning drank tea to moisten her throat and gave a sincere advice: "Shen Yan, never put your hope on others. Even your parents can't save you. I'm just your cousin. I have no obligation to help you again and again. You have to find a way to save yourself."

Shen Yan was confused: "Save yourself?"

Shen Ning: "When you encounter problems, you only think about getting out of trouble by yourself, and hope that other people's brains can help you come up with ideas. This way, you will never be able to grow in your life."

"The problem at the moment is not how bad your second cousin is, nor is it the Zhao family's greed, but your mother."

Shen Yan: "My mother? But my mother hates me so much, she beats me and scolds me, she even wants to kill me."

Shen Ning: "Then why does your mother hate you?"

Shen Yan lowered her head: "Because I didn't want to sacrifice myself to save my brother, and in the end, my father and brother lost their lives."

Shen Ning asked again: "Who do you think she hates the most?"

Shen Yan looked up at Shen Ning and said in a whisper: "I hate my sister."

Shen Ning: "Then as long as you hate the same person as she does, you two will be on the same side, and she may not hate you anymore."

Shen Yan shook her head violently: "I don't hate my sister. I...my brother is bad, and my sister is also injured. My father's situation has nothing to do with my sister."

Although it may sound unfilial to say this, she has read a lot of books and can still distinguish right from wrong.

Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh. Shen Yan was really kind to the point of being ridiculous.

It’s not surprising that she would do something like working like a slave in the Su family to atone for her brother’s sins.

"If I were you, I would only deal with your mother. Go and beg her, tell her that you know you are wrong, she is your only relative, and you will listen to her from now on."

She reached out her hand to stop Shen Yan from speaking, and continued, "You have to tell your mother that you were deceived by me before. I deliberately stopped you from saving Shen Ming. You have to avenge your father and brother, and the Zhao family obviously has no ability to help you, so you have to find someone who can help you."

"After the New Year, the spring exams will begin. Now many accomplished students from poor families are gathering in the capital. Among them, there must be talented young people with real knowledge and skills. They will be on the list of successful candidates in the future and have a bright future."

"You can't beat me in business, but if you find a husband who is an official, your mother will feel very proud. Besides, only when you have an official position and power can you seek revenge on me. Your mother will definitely be tempted to hear that."

Shen Yan opened her mouth wide, as if she was dumbfounded. It took her a long time to find her voice again: "Sister, you you you...how could you let me deal with you."

Shen Ning sighed: "You want a solution, don't you? This is the solution. As for dealing with me, you underestimate me too much. I don't even care about the brains of you and your daughter combined."

The noise made by the people from the second room couldn't hurt her at all. At most, they were just annoying like flies.

Shen Ming almost killed him because of the accident of Shen Shu. The one who really brought bad luck to her was not the second wife, but Shen Shu.

After saying that, Shen Ning drove him away: "I've given you a solution, solve it yourself. Remember, once you leave this door, you and I will be enemies, don't bother me in the future."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bright smile appeared on her face: "Okay, I will hate my sister the most from now on."

Shen Ning: ...Looks so silly.

Liuying heard everything nearby and sighed with a smile: "Miss is still soft-hearted towards Miss Yan."

She didn't want Shen Ning to be alone, and she was very pleased to see that Shen Ning had a good relationship with these relatives.

Are you soft-hearted?

Shen Ning gave a mocking smile. Where did her soft-heartedness come from?

Helping Shen Yan may also be helping herself.

Zhao hated her. If she were to bring Zhao's family here, it would be endless trouble for Shen Ning.

She couldn't kill all the people in the second house and then kill the Zhao family as well.

Why should she be made to bear the sin and be stained with endless blood for a group of rabble?

So, use Shen Yan to deal with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family will deal with the Zhao family.

Shen Yan will be grateful to her for escaping from trouble. Zhao is supported by the belief in revenge and will not make trouble in front of her in the short term.

Even if Shen Yan really chooses a promising young talent as her husband, the officialdom can be brutal.

Xue He was the top scholar in his previous life but he was unable to rise to prominence. It is even more difficult for other children from poor families to succeed.

Not to mention using that person to take revenge on her, just based on Shen Ning's connections, if she wanted to suppress that person, she would definitely make sure that person would never get up again.

Soft-hearted? How was she soft-hearted?

However, cunning businessmen always cover themselves with a kind face. Liuying thinks that it is good that she is kind-hearted, which is better than being pointed at and called vicious.
