Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

General Yuan could only tell Mu Zhou, Yuan Shu has already drunk the Forgetting River Water and has forgotten everything related to you. The two of you can only be strangers in the future and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Mu Zhou looked at General Yuan angrily. For the sake of your wealth and status, for the sake of relying on the emperor, you even sacrificed your daughters happiness and forced Yuan Shu to drink the Forgetting River Water. Youre such a useless father!

Yuan Shu married the top scholar of the martial sciences. After General Yuan pa.s.sed away, the top scholar of the martial sciences inherited the Yuan familys army and fought on the battlefield. The children Yuan Shu gave birth to were all very outstanding and became figures that the entire country admired.

Mu Zhou, on the other hand, abused his political power and used the Art of Immortality to deceive the emperor. From then on, he rose to power and became a corrupt official.

The two of them rarely met for the rest of their lives. Every time they met, Mu Zhou would feel pain and despair when he saw Yuan Shus unfamiliar and distant gaze.

Mu Zhou didnt want to see how happy Yuan Shu was with another man, so he started to avoid her and rarely saw her again.

Yuan Shu fell asleep, but even in her sleep, she was still frowning.

The next morning, s.h.i.+ Yi saw that Yuan Shu didnt wake up early to exercise, so she asked the butler to prepare breakfast and brought it to her room to look for her.

Yuan Shu was still sleeping with her brows tightly knitted.

When s.h.i.+ Yi saw Yuan Shu frowning, she couldnt help but reach out to help her smoothen her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the moment her fingers touched Yuan Shus eyebrows, Yuan Shu was jolted awake.

Yuan Shu opened her eyes vigilantly. After seeing that the person in front of her was s.h.i.+ Yi, she relaxed and asked, Why are you in my room?

s.h.i.+ Yi was startled by Yuan Shus reaction just now. After calming down, she patted her chest as she said, I saw that you didnt eat last night and didnt wake up early in the morning. I was worried about you, so I asked the butler to cook for you and brought it up.

After Yuan Shu glanced at the milk and bread on the table, she said, Thank you.

s.h.i.+ Yi asked curiously, Sister-in-law, whats wrong with you? Youre acting abnormally today. You didnt even go out to exercise in the morning.

Yuan Shu forced a smile. Im just a little tired. Go out first and wait for me downstairs. After I wash up, Ill go downstairs.

s.h.i.+ Yi looked at Yuan Shu hesitantly but still took the breakfast downstairs.

When Yuan Shu went out, she saw that the four siblings of the s.h.i.+ family were all there.

The four of them sat around the dining table and looked in Yuan Shus direction when they saw Yuan Shu come out.

s.h.i.+ Lu was the first to ask, Sister-in-law, are you okay?

s.h.i.+ Bin also looked at Yuan Shu with concern.

After Yuan Shu walked to the table and sat down opposite s.h.i.+ Xiao, she replied calmly, Im fine. Dont worry.

But Yuan Shus lips were pale, so her words sounded a little unconvincing.

Knowing that she was unwilling to tell them even if they asked her, the few of them could only give up and push the breakfast in front of her.

s.h.i.+ Bin said, Sister-in-law, dont you like buns the most? I went to the bun shop you often go to and bought tofu buns. Try them!

Yuan Shu really had no appet.i.te, but she still ate two mouthfuls.

s.h.i.+ Xiao didnt say anything, but his expression didnt look too good. Since s.h.i.+ Xiaos expression was too serious, the others didnt dare to be too impudent and they ate breakfast very cautiously.

Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, s.h.i.+ Xiao said, Hurry up and go to work after youre done eating. Then, he asked s.h.i.+ Lu, Are there any shoots today?

s.h.i.+ Lu replied, No. However, when he saw s.h.i.+ Xiaos expression, he felt that he would definitely be used as a punching bag if he stayed at home, so s.h.i.+ Lu immediately changed his words. Yes! Ill leave immediately after breakfast!

s.h.i.+ Lu quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth before following s.h.i.+ Yi and s.h.i.+ Bin out.

It wasnt until they left that the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Without s.h.i.+ Xiaos imposing presence, they felt that the air pressure had returned to normal.

They couldnt help but complain, Im afraid only Sister-in-law can suppress our scary brother.

After Yuan Shu finished eating, she was about to get up and return to her room when s.h.i.+ Xiao suddenly asked, Dont you think you need to give me an explanation?

Yuan Shu sat down at the table again and asked him, What explanation do you want?

s.h.i.+ Xiao frowned, a hint of displeasure flas.h.i.+ng across his dark eyes.

You told me that you dont know Jiang Chen.

But hes Mu Zhou. Yuan Shu retorted subconsciously, but when she met s.h.i.+ Xiaos gaze, she suddenly paused..
