Chapter 124 Old Resentment
The Shen family is a wealthy family and a well-known giant in the circle. They did not abuse me. They brought all three meals of tea on time, but they just didn't allow me to leave the room.
I simply slept in the bed and slept in the dark. Anyway, I even had people to take care of my body... I don’t know how many rumors about me have been passed down by the Shen family now.
In the afternoon, the door opened with a clamor, and the majestic old lady Shen appeared in the room.
I was sleeping in a daze when I heard Kun Dao yell behind her: "I rude junior! I can't get up and give the old lady a gift!"
I really want to reply, if I have any opinions, I will ask you Lord Emperor to go. But now I am under someone's roof, so I still have to lower my head.
When I was wearing clothes, I realized that there were so many traces left on my body. That guy Jiang Qiyun's hands were too heavy, and even his waist was pinched blue, not to mention the red marks distributed on his chest.
The clothes provided by the Shen family were all very retro, so I had to wear white midi clothes and pants to the outside room.
Old Mrs. Shen sat on the couch and stared at me coldly. I bowed and said, "Hello."
Kundao beside her wanted to scold me, but was stopped by Old Mrs. Shen: "Okay, sit and talk. It is probably not an easy job to serve Lord Emperor."
...This old woman really thinks she is the queen mother.
The Kundao's eyes beside her looked at me were both playful and contempt, and they were also a little envious and jealous. They kept looking at me with this kind of eyes, so they didn't feel tired.
"Do you carry that little compass on you?" asked Old Mrs. Shen.
I looked at her vigilantly: "What do you want to do? That's my mother's--"
She sneered: "That's from the Shen family! Your mother just ran away with her privately! Don't worry, I haven't bullied my younger generation like this, and I won't snatch it from you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a Kundao found the compass from inside and handed it to her.
I was secretly anxious. If this old woman dared to rob my compass, I would definitely complain in front of Jiang Qiyun!
"...It's indeed Yu Xuanji... I haven't seen this magic weapon for more than 20 years..." She sighed softly.
Old Mrs. Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and some unknown emotions flashed through it.
"Even if this is a thing from the Shen family, it is also a relic of my mother. The Shen family does not lack good compass. Please return this to me." I said with a frown.
Old Mrs. Shen did not force her to rob her and returned the compass to me.
"Your mother eloped away from home, huh, she is really the good daughter of our Shen family! For the sake of the sloppy brat of the Mu family, she doesn't want the position of heir! What's the good thing about the Mu family's small family!" Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she had not yet calmed down for more than twenty years.
Who knows what's good about it? Isn't this the thing about love? Love is overwhelming, and you have to jump in even though you know it's a fire pit... Besides, my dad is not a fire pit!
"...It's all old things, and this man has passed away. Just take the past like smoke and turn it over." I whispered: "The little boy from the Mu family you mentioned is now a middle-aged uncle in his forties. My brother and I have grown up, and my mother has passed away for many years. What else can you not let go of resentment?"
Old Mrs. Shen stared at me for a while and suddenly chuckled: "Woman, you will choose the kind of life you follow."
"…There are some things that have no right to choose at all." I replied dullly.
"Hmph, Lord Emperor has an order to ask me to teach you some Taoist magic. Your brother Mu Yunfan will come tonight. From tomorrow on, you two will do your homework with your outer disciples, learn as much as you can. You two are descendants of the old man Mu Yike, and it is difficult to teach. I don't expect you to abide by the rules. Just don't cause trouble for me, otherwise I will punish you the same!"
What? Studying at the Shen family?! I immediately lost my face, and my brother must have the same mood as me. Even if he has been a half-baked rookie, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family.
"Don't show this expression, I don't want to teach you, but it's hard to disobey your order. Lord Emperor protects the Shen family for many years, and the Shen family should serve Lord Emperor himself with all their hearts and souls." Old Mrs. Shen stood up, and Kun Dao behind her placed two bags on the table.
After they left, I took apart the bag and looked at it. It was basic clothes, books, and magic tools.
I had no choice here at the Shen family. Only when Jiang Qiyun threw me here can he do his job with confidence.
The Shen family is located in such a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It is far away from prosperity and has many disciples. It is indeed a good place to devote one's concentration to practice.
But I miss my dad and my brother. My phone has long been out of power. I don’t know where to call me to notify my family. The little nun who came to deliver dinner did not dare to answer my questions. She put down the dinner and ran away in a hurry.
There are only three modern things in the house, electric lights, air conditioners and toilets, and bathing in the bathroom with large wooden buckets. Without a cell phone, it feels like returning to the primitive society.
The little Taoist nun from the Shen family changed me to a cotton linen sheet. It was very absorbent and breathable. Maybe the large water traces last night scared them... It was so embarrassing.
It was too intense last night, and my lower abdomen was aching faintly, like a fire burning inside. Today, this feeling was particularly obvious when I was lying in bed. I always felt something was wrong - it seemed that the heat in my lower abdomen was constantly circulating in my body, and the left and right sides of my belly button were warm.
Maybe I really have to take a look at the old lady. Don’t even have any problems. I will suffer in vain. Jiang Qiyun will be so angry that she will peel off my skin and bones.
Old Mrs. Shen said that my brother would come tonight, so I kept waiting for it. I fell asleep on the Eight Immortals table. The air conditioner in the room was warm. When a cold air approached, I had a cold war, and then Jiang Qiyun picked it up and put it on the bed.
This... why did he just pressed him up so naturally? I could do something once last night, but I would be exhausted every day.
"Don't..." I turned my head and avoided his lips, "I'm still waiting for my brother, and Old Mrs. Shen said he would come tonight."
"...He has arrived at the Shen Family Mountain Gate and will come over in a while." Jiang Qiyun replied lightly.
Really? I immediately kissed his lips perfunctorily, and then put on my clothes and waited anxiously.
"Xiao Qiao! Where is my sister? Didn't you say it's here?" My brother's footsteps were still downstairs, and I had heard him screaming.
I rushed over and opened the door, hugged my brother and was about to cry—
"Didn't you tell you not to worry about me? How could I be so smart and clever!" He slapped me in the back of my head.
He had gauze wrapped around his head and wrists. Isn’t that a problem?!
