Chapter 12 - 10: Don’t Pity Her
The nanny exchanged a look with another servant, and the two moved quickly to restrain Shen Jianian from either side. In the struggle, the scarf around her neck fell to the ground.
"Let go of me, what are you doing?" Shen Jianian didn’t expect Hu Yuzhi to be so deranged as to actually restrict her freedom.
"What are we doing? This is the consequence of defying your elders!"
Hu Yuzhi pointed at her nose, scolding her for being worthless, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.
"Ask yourself if you even count as an elder?" Shen Jianian smiled, a smile full of despair, "What kind of elder gets their own niece drunk and sends her to the bed of a married old man? Elder? Ha, how can you even say that?"
"Shen Jianian!"
Hu Yuzhi clutched her chest, so angry that her vision turned black.
Yin Shuyao couldn’t take it anymore and quickly stepped up to Shen Jianian, taking advantage of the nanny restraining her, and slapped her loudly across the face: "Who allowed you to talk to my mom like that?"
Shen Jianian’s face turned to the side from the slap, her mouth numb as a metallic taste filled her mouth.
Hu Yuzhi regained her breath, unwilling to look at Shen Jianian another second, fearing she’d die from the rage, she commanded the nanny coldly: "Find a rope, tie her up and lock her in the attic, send someone to inform President Qin that Shen Jianian is found and he can do with her as he pleases."
Shen Jianian’s wide eyes turned red, staring straight at the speaker, her lips trembling as she croaked hoarsely: "My parents are watching from above, you’ll get retribution for treating me like this."
Hu Yuzhi’s temples throbbed: "Why are you still standing there? Take her away!"
