Chapter 406
Inexplicably tacit understanding.
Seeing this, Shi Muchuan looked at Lu Sheng and repeated it again, with a low but firm tone: "You go ahead."
Lu Sheng paused, and said: "...Actually, I want to say sorry to you for my mother."
Lu Sheng had heard Shi Erya mention before that when Shi Mu Chuan's mother passed away, it happened to be the day before Shi Mu Chuan's eighth birthday.
It is hard to imagine how much such a change would be a blow to a child.It must have taken Shi Muchuan a long time to get out of the haze and grow up to the calm and steady look he is now.
The overdue shipment has already been paid off.It's just that it's hard for Lu Sheng not to feel guilty about Shi Muchuan, Shi Suyu, and Shi Xiche who hasn't met yet.
"What happened back then was just an accident, and it wasn't your fault." Shi Mu Chuan lowered his eyes with a little regret.
"Besides, if the children really want their parents to take the blame, then it's me who should say I'm sorry. After all, my stepmother did such a thing to you, and my father just cared about maintaining it without distinguishing right from wrong."
It turned out that even Shi Muchuan felt that Shi Chengyun didn't know right from wrong.The youngest and most promising lawyer in Huaguo's legal circle, he still has correct views. Fortunately, he was not misled by his father.
"Then you just wanted to say..." Lu Sheng asked.
While continuing to disinfect Lu Sheng, Shi Muchuan said, "I just wanted to say that before you returned to Shi's house, I saw your speech on the Internet."
"My speech?" Lu Sheng was taken aback.
"That's what you said, about why you want to study law."
Shi Muchuan recalled the scene at that time, "The graduates of our law firm who had just come to practice at that time forwarded your words in the group, and I saw it by accident."
"I was still thinking that if I go to Peking University to give a speech next time, I can find an opportunity to meet such an outstanding high school student."
"But I didn't expect that not long after I had this idea, I was told when I got home that this outstanding high school student was my sister by blood."
Shi Muchuan threw away the sterilized cotton swab, tore off the packaging of the Band-Aid, and said, "This feeling is quite magical."
"You... don't you hate me?" Hearing Shi Muchuan's words, Lu Sheng asked in a daze.
"Do you hate it?"
Shi Muchuan carefully put the Band-Aid on the wound on Lu Sheng's neck, "I was thinking at the time that a girl who can say something like that must have a very upright outlook and a firm heart, which is different from ordinary high school students. "
"It was appreciation before, but now...maybe this is the magic of blood relationship."
"From the moment you woke up from a coma and called me brother in a daze, I felt that as a brother, I have the obligation and responsibility to protect my sister, and I should protect you."
"Furthermore, before the accident happened, Second Aunt really loved me very much. Even if there was something about my mother, I would feel sad when I learned that Second Aunt died of a serious illness."
"Moreover, I also lost my mother. I feel all your pains, so I can't resent or criticize you as a child."
"...Thank you." Hearing this, Lu Sheng was moved by this kind of openness and sincerity, and paused: "If mom can hear your words, she will be very touched."
Lu Sheng thanked him sincerely.After some conversations, the distance between the two of them became much closer.
But after all, it was too late today. After bandaging Lu Sheng's wound, Shi Muchuan left the room to let Lu Sheng rest well.
However, when Lu Sheng lay on the bed and began to review the details of the whole incident tonight, there was one thing that she really couldn't figure out.
She and Lin Fangling's fox demon had no grievances and no enmity. During the day, they didn't even say a word, and they almost didn't even meet their eyes.
Why at night, Lin Fangling had the idea of killing her.
Kill her, what benefit can she get?
Is it really to prevent her from taking her children's share of the inheritance?But a fox demon, knowing that she is a stronger demon than her, would take the risk to kill her for this reason?
Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning, but suddenly remembered Yuwei's performance tonight.
From coming to her room and seeing everything in the house, she didn't show any shock or surprise.
As if everything was in her expectation, the whole process was like watching a play, standing behind with folded arms.
It was Lin Fangling who told her about her plan.Or, was she involved in planning tonight's murder?
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's eyes turned slightly cold.
It was agreed that the well water would not interfere with the river water, if this matter was planned by Shi Yuwei, then she broke the agreement first.
Then don't blame her for being rude to her.
-
The next morning.
What happened last night lasted until midnight, and the old man woke up late the next day.
Helped by the nurse to sit down at the dining table, the servant had already arranged the breakfast, Shi Erya took the initiative to get up to help her father serve the porridge.
When Shi Mingxiu saw that there were only the two of them at the table, he asked, "Erya, what's going on, why are we just the two of us here for breakfast?"
Shi Erya said: "Mu Chuan went to the law firm early in the morning, and there is a case to be held today. Xiaoyu and Luo Chen have gone to Mathematical Olympiad and Puzzle classes after breakfast. The two children, Shengsheng and Yuwei, should not be up yet."
"As for the eldest brother and sister-in-law..." Shi Erya said in an awkward tone, "Dad, you said last night that you will punish sister-in-law to eat only one meal a day. The elder brother said that if sister-in-law doesn't eat, he won't eat. I'll go upstairs and call him Cursed back."
"That boy Chengyun dares to scold you?" Hearing this, the old man's tone suddenly became angry, "Your elder brother isn't scolding you, he's trying to embarrass me!"
"If Shengsheng hadn't said last night that he wouldn't pursue it, I would have called the police and had his wife taken away. Now it's such a big opinion to let him not be allowed to eat and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. It's the opposite! My Shengsheng has been wronged!"
Seeing that the old man was angry, Shi Erya also hurriedly comforted him: "Dad, don't be angry, at least after what happened last night, sister-in-law will definitely not dare to do anything to Shengsheng. We just need to pay more attention to Shengsheng in the future. "
As soon as the words fell, Lu Sheng also got up and walked to the restaurant.
Say hello to Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya: "Grandpa, Auntie, good morning."
The girl's slightly messy long ink-colored hair fell over her shoulders.Wearing a simple cotton and linen suspender nightdress, revealing delicate collarbones and slender arms and calves.He wore ankle-length cotton socks and fluffy white slippers.
It just doesn't look like he's rested well.The small face the size of a palm had a slight bruise under its eyes, and its complexion was also a little pale.On the contrary, compared with yesterday, it was a bit more cold and refined with a broken feeling.
"Shengsheng is up." Shi Erya saw the conspicuous band-aid on Lu Sheng's neck at a glance, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and said softly, "Sit down quickly, my aunt is here to serve you porridge, what would you like to eat?"
Lu Sheng sat down at the dining table and was about to speak, but the servant at the side came forward and said, "Miss San, you should eat breakfast quickly, I'll serve Miss Lu Sheng some porridge."
Setting the table, distributing tableware, serving porridge and rice, etc., is originally the job of the servants.
So Shi Erya didn't think much about it, and directly handed the spoon to the servant.
The servant filled a bowl of porridge neatly, and then handed the full steaming porridge to Lu Sheng with a respectful expression.
This new Miss Lu Sheng who came to the house not only cured the dying old man when he came, but also the old man's granddaughter and his savior.
And what happened last night, although nothing really happened to her, the old man still didn't even let the eldest lady eat, and even made the eldest lady kneel in the Buddhist hall for half a month. This is already a severe enough punishment.
Last night, their servants looked at it, and they knew the importance of Miss Lu Sheng in the old man's heart.
Naturally, he thought that he would treat Lu Sheng more attentively in the future, which could be regarded as pleasing the old man.
However, the porridge bowl had just been handed to Lu Sheng.
In the next second, the servant's hand seemed to be out of control suddenly, and he let go of it——
Caught off guard, the bowl slipped from the servant's hand in an instant, and fell directly on Lu Sheng's chest!
This is porridge that has just come out of the pot and is still steaming hot!
The servant was frightened dumbfounded, and saw most of the porridge in the bowl splashed on Lu Sheng's body.
The girl's originally clean pure white nightdress was now covered with sparse porridge from chest to bottom, which looked horrible.The collarbone was directly scalded with red marks by the hot porridge.
There were also bowls of broken pieces and splashed porridge on the ground, it was a mess.
"Shengsheng!!" Shi Erya gasped, got up from the chair and rushed to Lu Sheng's side on the spot.
Shi Mingxiu was also frightened, and hurriedly stood up without the help of the servant: "Shengsheng, are you okay? Did you get burned? Let Grandpa have a look!"
Seeing that Lu Sheng's body was made like this, and his temper was directly burned by the porridge, Shi Mingxiu was anxious and angry, and looked directly at the servant who delivered the porridge.
The voice couldn't hide the anger and accusations, "How do you do things? Can't you hold a bowl of porridge? Or did you do it on purpose?!"
Seeing that the old man was so angry, the young servant almost cried out of fright, and quickly defended himself.
"No... I didn't mean the old man on purpose. I obviously held it firmly in my hand. I don't know what happened just now. The porridge suddenly..."
"Are you still quibbling?!"
In Shi Mingxiu's view, if the hand is really steady, how could it be possible to overturn the bowl.
However, at this moment, Lu Sheng suddenly said calmly: "Grandpa, she really didn't do it on purpose."
Shi Mingxiu couldn't help being taken aback: "Shengsheng, how do you know she didn't do it on purpose?"
His body was in a mess, and his skin, which was scalded by the hot porridge, also felt tingling.
Lu Sheng couldn't help taking a breath.
She knew the servant didn't do it on purpose, because the moment the servant overturned the porridge just now, she heard the Xunyao bell on her bracelet ring.
The Xunyao Bell will ring when a demon wants to use her soul power to harm her.In other words, You Yao must have used her soul power just now to deliberately let the servant knock the porridge over her.
Is this monster Shi Yuwei or Lin Fangling?
Is it pure revenge, or is there another purpose?
However, at this moment, the stairs four or five meters away from the restaurant.As soon as Lu Sheng raised his eyes, he saw that Shi Yuwei was walking down the stairs leisurely.
Wearing a high-quality beige cheongsam with exquisite hand-embroidered patterns, it outlines the girl's slender waist and good figure.
There is a bun on the back of the head, two strands of hair hang lazily on both sides, and the makeup is light and delicate.She looks like an elegant and delicate lady with a dusty temperament.
The two looked at each other silently, separated by a few meters.Only the two of them knew that when their eyes met, sparks full of gunpowder burst out instantly.
When Shi Yuwei saw her soiled clothes, her complexion remained unchanged as expected.
And Lu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he already had the answer to the first question just now, so his expression turned cold.
But in the next second, Lu Sheng heard the door of the house beep, and then the door creaked and was pushed open——
Unexpectedly, the first person to walk in the door was Shi Suxin who left yesterday in anger.
And behind her, a man dressed as a reporter with a microphone and a photographer with a video camera walked in the door.
Shi Suxin didn't look at the situation at home, and warmly greeted the two people:
"Oh, Qingmang Channel is the most popular channel in all of China. Any program it releases is popular all over the Internet. I often watch it abroad."
"Reporter Lin, you have such a new program and want to invite our family, Yuwei, to participate. Today, you are here for a live interview. Why don't you tell us first, so that our family can make preparations."
Reporter Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little confused: "Huh? We already called classmate Yuwei three days ago to inform her. Didn't she tell her family in advance?"
