“Shen Xue, what did my little Shen Nan do to you that you had to use him like this?” Third Aunt immediately turned and stared at Shen Xue who was hidden behind the butler.

Shen Xue tucked her neck in for a moment before sticking her head out a little to peek. Seeing how enraged Third Aunt was, Shen Xue quickly retracted her head again and reached out to pull on the butler’s clothes. She couldn’t help but start trembling.

​

“Say something!”

Third Aunt was even angrier when she saw Shen Xue hiding behind the butler.

Now she knew to hide? Why wasn’t she afraid when she first used her little Shen Nan?

“Third Aunt… I didn’t…”

“Didn’t? Then tell me who told Shen Nan to say those ridiculous things?” Third Aunt didn’t fall for Shen Xue’s trick.

She had seen Shen Xue several times. She used to look quite cute, but since when did she become so cunning? She was becoming more and more similar to her mother.

Third Aunt couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. Why did such a good child develop such a crooked personality?

Shen Xue’s eyes dodged her aunt’s gaze, but she couldn’t find a suitable excuse for herself and began to panic.

If her grandfather asked her about what happened later, what would she do?

Shen Xue looked at Shen Yan through the corner of her eyes and saw him glaring at her angrily. Shen Xue hurriedly averted his gaze as the fear in her heart grew even greater.

Shen Xue suddenly started to wail, “I didn’t. I didn’t say anything.”

No one had expected Shen Xue to react like this.

Shen Xue recalled how her mother had told her to just cry whenever she didn’t know what to do. According to her mother, once she cried, others would stop putting her on the spot.

Just like right now, everyone was stunned. And naturally, they stopped questioning her.

Shen Yan was annoyed by Shen Xue’s wails. He didn’t pity her, not even one bit. Instead, he frankly detested it.

“Shen Nan, tell me, what else did Shen Xue say to you?”

Shen Xu did not feel sorry for Shen Xue when he saw her crying. He too felt a sense of disgust.

He wasn’t going to let Shen Xue off. If he did not clarify the matter for Shen Nan, it would not be a good thing for his little brother.
