Chapter 142: Bringing You Back to the Capital

She casually adjusted her hair and said, “Back then, you got married in a hurry and so much has happened. Father and Mother wanted to bring you back.”

“However, a thief broke into the house. By the time the family recovered, you had already left the capital,” she continued.

Looking up, Shen Ruyun said, “You don’t know how worried father and mother have been these days…”

At this point, Su Ruyun revealed a worried expression.

Shen Yijia blinked.

“A thief? You must be talking about me.” she thought.

“And?”

Shen Ruyun choked. Since she had already explained the situation, shouldn’t this wretched girl complain about how miserable her life was? She should also ask if the thief had injured anyone and if her parents were well.

She took a deep breath, her expression almost twisting before she continued. “This time, Big Brother and I are here to bring you back so that you don’t have to suffer here.”

Shen Yijia looked at her as if she was looking at an idiot. “How is this helping me? Why don’t you just say that you’re here to harm me? Why are you still spouting nonsense?”

“Who are you trying to trick? Do I look like a fool to you?” she thought.

“You…” Shen Ruyun gritted her teeth and lowered her voice.” How can you say that? We’re doing this for your own good. ”

Shen Yijia said, “Then I’ll thank your entire family, but I don’t need it.”

Shen Ruyun felt that this was not a good thing. She was so angry that she broke a fingernail. When she realized what was going on, she gasped in pain.

Seeing that Shen Ruyun had endured so much, Shen Yijia was in a good mood.

Perhaps knowing that bringing Shen Yijia back would not work, Shen Ruyun suddenly changed the topic. “Since you don’t want to go back, so be it, Second Sister.”

“It’s just that father has been dreaming about your mother recently. I heard that your mother left you a box back then. Father said that if you don’t want to go back, at least let me bring that box back so that he can have some memories of her.”

Shen Yijia frowned slightly. She smelled a scheme and was about to refuse.

Shen Ruyun continued, “We’ll give you another 500 taels of silver as a dowry from your mother.”

Since the emotional tactic didn’t work, Shen Ruyun switched to using numbers.

500 taels of silver was nothing to Shen Ruyun anyway.

Shen Yijia said, “So much money…”

Shen Ruyun thought that Shen Yijia would definitely agree next, and her eyes were filled with determination.

“A fool is a fool. No matter how good-looking she became, she could not become smart.” Shen Ruyun thought.

Shen Yijia said, “I threw away that box a long time ago. The jewelry inside was pawned on the way from the capital. It was only pawned for less than 20 taels of silver. Why didn’t you come earlier?”

As she spoke, she clicked her tongue in pity. Her eyes lit up when she thought of something. “Is it fine as long as it’s a box? I can make an identical one. I’ll give you 250 taels of silver. Keep it a secret for me.”

Shen Ruyun was stunned for a long time. She did not even listen to Shen Yijia’s last sentence. She said in disbelief, “It’s gone?”

Shen Yijia nodded.

“You’re lying to me, right?” Shen Ruyun stared at Shen Yijia for confirmation.

Shen Yijia sighed. “I want to lie to you too. I’ve never seen five hundred taels of silver in my life.”

Seeing how confident she was, Shen Ruyun couldn’t pretend anymore. “Wretched girl, those were your mother’s belongings. How dare you…”

“Why wouldn’t I dare? If I don’t have money to eat, I have to exchange something for it. Can the belongings of the dead compare to a living person?” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.

Shen Ruyun was already furious, but now she had completely lost her mind. Looking at that face, Shen Ruyun still wanted to bully the original host like she did in the residence. She raised her hand and slapped Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. “It’s here, it’s here! She’s finally exploded.” she thought.

“Stop!” said a warm voice.
