Chapter Seventy-Six: Hypocrisy

Shen Fengsu glanced at Shen Yulou with a tilted head, his eyes were like knives, deep and intense.

The atmosphere in the room was very cold, and Shen Yumin couldn't help but shrink into Shen Fengxu's arms.

Shen Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Yumin, how did you get hurt? Who hurt you? You can tell it, and the eldest brother will definitely make the decision for you." "It's a gentleman who is as gentle as jade.

So everyone looked at Shen Yumin.

Shen Yumin just raised his head slightly, his eyes swept around everyone's faces, pursed his thin lips, and finally looked at Shen Yanning, who seemed to be very timid, and stopped talking a little, as if he had been greatly wronged, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, which made people feel pity in his heart.

Although Shen Yanning was a little displeased, Shen Yumin was a girl in the second room after all, and he didn't want anyone to spread rumors that the house was mistreating the girl in the second room, so he had to be patient and said, "Yumin, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yumin suddenly cried, and said, "It was the eldest brother who asked someone to beat me." ”

Shen Qing's face changed in an instant: "What did you say, when did I order someone to beat you?!"

Shen Fengxu was also a little surprised, but under the turn of his mind, he immediately turned his head to look at Shen Qing, and said righteously: "Didn't the eldest brother admit to beating the people in my yard?

"You ——!" Shen Qing gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Yumin, "Yumin, how can you slander me for no reason?!"

Shen Yuxiang was also stunned, and then said indignantly: "This girl is still so young, she actually told some lies, and she is really a concubine who can't be on the stage!"

As soon as her words fell, Shen Yanning glanced at her coldly: "Shut up!"

Even if Shen Yumin is a concubine, even if her biological mother is a lowly aunt, even if she has always been looked down upon by the people in the house, then she is also a girl in the second room, and if they gossip in the big house, it will inevitably have a bad reputation.

Shen Yulou raised his hand to signal Shen Yuxiang to silence, and then said with a smile: "Yumin, the injury on your body, is it really the eldest brother's order to beat you?"

Her voice was gentle and beautiful, like a clear and transparent spring, and in such a charming voice, it was impossible for anyone to lie.

But Shen Yumin still nodded, and her fair face revealed a trace of weakness: "Yes...... When the eldest brother entered the door, he said that there were assassins in the courtyard and asked the people around him to do it, and then those people beat Min'er without saying anything. ”

After that, tears slipped down from the white porcelain face, looking pitiful.

Looking at Shen Yumin's innocent face, Shen Qing almost gritted his teeth.

Shen Fengxu slightly tightened his grip on Shen Yumin's hand.

Of course, she knew that Shen Qing would not be able to do anything to Shen Yumin, and since before, Shen Yumin had been in the room at all, and no one had ever come out at all, and no one would care, there was also a seventh girl in the Snow Melting Courtyard.

Or it should be said that Shen Yumin's existence has been forgotten by most people in the house.

Even at the family banquet, there has never been a place for Shen Yumin.

And the bloody wound on Shen Yumin's forehead was obviously made by himself, and this move was nothing more than to protect Shen Fengxu.

Shen Fengxu blamed herself very much, she asked Shen Yumin to live in the Snow Melting Courtyard in order to protect Shen Yumin, but she didn't want to let Shen Yumin be injured because of herself.

Feeling Shen Fengsu clenching her hand, Shen Yumin raised her head to look at Shen Fengxu, and the look in her eyes gradually became firm.

It's time to change her to protect Shen Fengxu.

Shen Yanning's face became more and more gloomy: "Did Shen Qing really beat you?"

He was still calling Qing'er just now, and now he changed his words to Shen Qing, obviously, Shen Yanning had already believed Shen Yumin's words.

The seven girls, who have always been obedient and well-behaved, would never lie, not to mention that Shen Yumin was only five years old, how could she think of so many things.

"Yes, fortunately, there is a maid by my sister's side to protect Min'er, so Min'er was not seriously injured. Shen Yumin sobbed lightly, pointed at Yun Wan, and said, "However, the eldest brother didn't say that she was an assassin, but Min'er has been in her sister's yard for so long, so she naturally knows that she was originally the maid next to her sister, and she is not an assassin at all!"

The expression on Yun Wan's face was also a little strange.

Since Shen Yanning came in, Yun Wan has been standing quietly behind Shen Fengxu, although listening to their words reversed black and white, and wanting to raise her sword for countless times, she still held back after all, after all, if she really did it, it would definitely bring more trouble to Shen Fengxu, so she could only pretend to be a servant and stand behind.

But Shen Yumin's words suddenly stood up and said something that surprised Yun Wan.

She has been in the Snow Melting Courtyard for a few days, and naturally she has seen Shen Yumin a few times, although Yun Wan knows that there is such a person, but she doesn't know anything about Shen Yumin, after all, Shen Yumin is always as calm as water, like a puppet in a shelf, no joy or sorrow, and she refuses to say a word from beginning to end.

But today's performance of Shen Yumin completely subverted Yun Wan's impression of her.

Shen Qing's expression gradually distorted: "Shen Yumin! What benefits did Shen Fengxu give you? You want to help her talk like this? When did I hurt you? Why did I order someone to beat you for no reason?"

"Yes, eldest brother has no reason, why do you want to order someone to beat Min'er!" Shen Fengxu said coldly, "Not only did he beat Min'er, but he also deduced that there were assassins in my courtyard! If my father is not severely punished, how can there be rules in the house in the future!"

There were green veins on Shen Qing's forehead, and she no longer looked like a young man before, she was about to speak, but Shen Yulou raised her hand to stop her.

Even though the situation is very unfavorable, Shen Yulou still smiled lightly and said: "Since she is the maid of the house, it must be recorded in the roster, my father might as well ask the steward to see if there is any record of her, although Yumin has always been obedient and well-behaved, but after staying in the Snow Melting Courtyard for a long time, it is inevitable that she will be closer to the sixth sister, which is also understandable." ”

Although Shen Yumin looks pitiful, his words may not be true.

"What does this mean by eldest sister? Can't you see the wound on Min'er's forehead?" Shen Fengxu's expression was cold to the bone, revealing a deep coldness, "If you change to the eldest sister, are you willing to let your flower and moon appearance be damaged?"

"I'm just saying it casually. Shen Yulou smiled gently, "If you say something wrong, don't blame the sixth sister, after all, hiding assassins in the courtyard is really not a trivial matter, naturally it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly, if it is exposed like this today, it is inevitable that someone will gossip about the sixth sister in the future, I am afraid that it will not be good for the sixth sister." ”

"Oh, so the eldest sister is doing it for me?"

"That's nature. ”

It's really hypocritical and shameless.
