The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 12 Deliberately doing it

Shen Hanyu quickened her pace and hurried back to her room to rest.

Liang Fangrong stared at the closed door, feeling a mix of emotions.

“Miaoyi is getting more and more opinionated as she gets older. I just wanted to stop her from going against her aunt. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. This matter with Sihan shouldn't have been brought up in the first place.”

Liang Fangrong was worried about Shen Hanyu, and also concerned about angering the second wife.

Jian Xia, standing behind her, rolled her eyes and whispered, "If Madam is worried, why not send a gift to the second branch of the family tomorrow to apologize? That way, at least it will be acceptable on the surface."

Liang Fangrong nodded, "You're right, we should apologize."

Hearing what the two were saying, Shen Hanyu clenched her fists. It was clearly Liang Sihan who had ulterior motives towards her, so she used some methods to punish Liang Sihan. Was she not allowed to speak up when she encountered such a thing?

Not only did Liang Fangrong not care about her, but she also had to apologize to Liang Sihan. Shen Hanyu took a deep breath and felt it was absurd.

Lin Lihua returned to her room and grabbed Liang Chengli's clothes.

"You just agreed to let your older brother discipline Sihan like that? Are you still his father? He's our son, how could you bear to do that to him!"

Liang Chengli told her to let go and touched his arm, which was sore from being pinched.

“If he makes a mistake, he has to accept the punishment. His older brother didn’t judge him wrongly, and Siyu told us about it. How can we not believe him? Our little rascal is getting more and more unruly.”

"You believe everything they say? What if Liang Siyu is in cahoots with Xu Ying to deliberately harm our son?"

“Siyu is not that kind of person,” Liang Chengli continued to argue.

Lin Lihua was seething with anger, and now that she was back, she was going to be driven crazy by Liang Chengli.

She walked out, and Liang Chengli hurriedly followed, just as Liang Sihan was being carried back.

"Oh, my son!" Lin Lihua rushed over, unable to hold back her tears.

Liang Sihan also started crying.

"Mother, it hurts so much! That bastard Liang Siyu, he acted first and informed me later! If Grandma had known, she wouldn't have punished me so severely. But Uncle found out."

Liang Sihan cried so hard he could barely breathe. He had never been subjected to such family discipline before. It was all Shen Hanyu and Liang Siyu's fault.

Lin Lihua was also very distressed. "Good child, tell your mother, did you say those things to Shen Hanyu?"

Liang Sihan pouted: "It was all Shen Hanyu who seduced me, Mother, you have to stand up for me!"

Lin Lihua immediately stood up with her hands on her hips and said to Liang Chengli, "Listen to that little hussy, I knew she was a troublemaker from the first glance, just like your concubine Yao!"

Liang Chengli was speechless. "How did this bring up Ling'er again?"

Liang Sihan grabbed Lin Lihua's hand and cried, "Shen Hanyu appears in front of me every day, all seductive and alluring. My son was just confused for a moment and didn't do anything seriously wrong. But she's the one who has seduced my elder brother so much that he's lost his mind. Although I was a scoundrel in the past, my elder brother has never treated me like this before."

Liang Sihan kept applying eye drops, and sure enough, Lin Lihua got even angrier.

"Well, well, this act of kindness in taking in these orphans and widows has only brought in a vixen."

Seeing that Lin Lihua's words were becoming increasingly absurd, Liang Chengli quickly told her to stop.

"Mother is currently fond of Hanyu, so don't make things worse. You should know what kind of person our son is. It's fine if you believe it in the heat of the moment, but once you calm down, don't try to stand up for him or cause a lot of trouble."

Liang Sihan looked at Liang Chengli and said, "Are you still my father? You're siding with outsiders."

Lin Lihua snorted coldly, it was unclear whether she had taken Liang Chengli's words to heart.

The next morning at breakfast, Shen Hanyu clearly noticed that the food was much worse.

The meals were being served to each room by the maids. Looking at the white porridge and a few side dishes, Shen Hanyu ate a little. These were either Lin Lihua's or Xu Ying's doing.

However, Xu Ying probably wouldn't make it that obvious. It's likely that Lin Lihua held a grudge against her because of what happened last night, which is why she came up with this tactic.

Xu Ying was merely fanning the flames behind the scenes, so that even if something went wrong and the investigation came to light, it would only lead back to Lin Lihua.

After tidying up, Shen Hanyu went to Fu'an Hall.

The old lady was feeling much better today and was able to get out of bed and walk around. When she saw Shen Hanyu coming over, she was as warm as before, and then asked Qiuyue to bring over the several maids she had arranged.

"Take a look and if you find one you like, bring it with you. Don't be shy with your grandmother."

Shen Hanyu looked around at the group of people. Excluding those who appeared in her memory, she chose a maid with delicate features and a good physique.

"That's it."

The maid stepped forward and kowtowed.

"This servant, Miaocui, greets Miss Biao."

Shen Hanyu told her to get up. This Miaocui seemed pretty good. She would observe her for a few days before making any plans.

"Is one enough? Why not pick two more? Each of the girls in the family has three or four serving them around them."

The old lady gestured for Shen Hanyu to choose again.

Shen Hanyu shook her head: "It's better to have quality than quantity. Just pick one that suits you. Anyway, I don't have much to do over there."

The old lady had no choice but to give up and let the others go down.

"Miao Cui, please take good care of Miss Biao from now on."

Miao Cui quickly agreed.

After finishing talking about the maid, the old lady brought up another matter.

A cup of hot tea was placed next to Shen Hanyu, and the old lady spoke in a gentle tone.

"Miaoyi, both of the men in your family are of marriageable age. You suffered last night. Sihan has been punished, so let it go. In the future, try to have less contact with them. Sihan is an outrageous scoundrel. Don't let him corrupt you."

The old lady was subtly telling her to stay away from Liang Siyu and Liang Sihan, which was also a way of telling her not to have any ulterior motives.

Shen Hanyu understood the implied meaning and obediently said, "I know, Mother also taught me the same thing. Although it was Second Cousin's fault yesterday, Miaoyi also made mistakes."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's good that you think this way. You're as sensible as your mother. At the flower viewing banquet yesterday, did Miaoyi find a young man she liked? If not, ask your aunt to arrange a few young men from the clan for you to meet. You're getting on in years, so it's time to start thinking about it."

Shen Hanyu politely declined, not in a hurry to agree to the offer.

It's not the right time yet, but what's more troublesome is that Zhou Yurong noticed her again yesterday, and it's hard to know what will happen.

In her previous life, Zhou Yurong proposed marriage before her nineteenth birthday. If Zhou Yurong had really noticed her, the timing probably wouldn't have been too far off.

She needs to figure out a way before her nineteenth birthday.

After leaving Fu'an Hall, Miao Cui followed behind her. When she returned, Liang Fangrong had already gone to apologize to Lin Lihua. Perhaps she had been upset by Lin Lihua, because Liang Fangrong's expression was not good.

"Did Mother go to Second Aunt's place?"

Liang Fangrong looked up and saw Miaocui behind Shen Hanyu, knowing that she was the maid given by the old lady.

"Yes, you should stay away from your two cousins ​​in the future. After all, you are in someone else's house, so don't cause any more trouble."

Liang Fangrong offered a heartfelt word of advice.
