594: Tainted memory

Tainted memory

" All right? How can I be alright?" said Shen Zizhen as he walked forward and even though his body was small and stout and he was barely any taller than Ji Shan and when compared to his brother, he looked like a tiny doll walking next to him. Yet when he walked forward and took one look at Ji Shan the latter felt her heart palpitate with trepidation, she didn't know why but she suddenly felt really scared. What she didn't know was that Shen Zizhen might be short in stature, he was someone who was rumoured to be someone who can never be offended.  2

The merchants in the business circle would often say that it was better to offend a witch than Shen Zizhen because even a witch would attack someone after leaving seven houses but Shen Zizhen was that tiger who will ruin his own cub if he ever saw them doing something that they shouldn't be doing —- he was ruthless to that point. A man who can kill his son if he tried to do anything wrong was not a man to be offended yet Ji Shan went ahead and stepped on his bottom line. 

His dead sister Shen Shui.

The memory that Ji Shan dared to use wasn't only the most loving memory of Shen Shui to Old madam Shen, it was Shen Zizhen's most precious memory. Even though it has been many years, he still remembered the time when he applied medicine to his sister's hands after she was struck by their mother for taking the blame that belonged to him.

His sister was the cutest, purest and her naivety was above all—— yet her purest memory was trampled by a girl like Ji Shan and was used to butter his mother? How can he be alright?

" I will never be alright after a murderer used my sister's most beautiful memory for her benefit." Shen Zizhen coldly and resolutely spoke at once, his eyes boring into Ji Shan's whose irises quivered with fear. Her eyes constricted as she furtively glanced at her grandfather who raised a hand as if to tell her not to worry. Though all the blood drained from her face, Ji Shan nodded and swallowed—— that's right she wouldn't be caught after all Ji family was the one behind everything and her grandfather wouldn't make a mistake such as letting the most important evidence fall in the hands of the Shen family!

Instead, she calmed down and pulled on a pitiful expression as she started to cry. " Second uncle if you don't like me then you should just say that outright, you don't have to do something like this, I will leave without you embarrassing me like this!"

Old madam Shen who was startled broke through her reverie as she heard Ji Shan cry and then she looked at the weak and pitiful girl who was crying her eyes out and hurriedly took JI Shan in her arms. " Zizhen, no matter how much you dislike Shan Shan you shouldn't say something like this—- how can you make light of the situation by saying such things? This is not a joke, the accusations that you are shooting at Shan Shan are not right! How can Shan Shan kill someone? She didn't even hurt anyone!"

Old master Ji hurriedly added from the side as he shouted, " That's right, Zizhen. I respect you because you are my nephew but you shouldn't make such baseless accusations against my granddaughter just because you don't like her! What will others say if they were to hear your words? That the Ji family raises their daughters as murderers? What will happen to your cousins who are yet to be married!"

Listening to this Father Ji also hurried forward and said, "That's right Zizhen, you are crossing the line. Look at my daughter, she looks thin and weak, she hasn't even hurt any kids of the Ji family she was playing around with them! She is so frail and sick, you haven't been to the village for a long time and don't know that she was once pushed by a young lady in the pond when she was young and that was how she became sickly at a young age, she doesn't even have the strength to strut around the house like a bully and yet you say that she killed somebody?"

Even mother Ji hurried forward and spoke in the defence of her daughter not because she cared about her but because she was worried that if Ji Shan was kicked out of the Shen family her son's prospects will be harmed and most importantly. The money! She couldn't let go of the money! " Brother Zizhen I know that you have looked down on our family since we can never ever be at par with you but don't you think that you are being a bit too over the top by calling my daughter a murderer, she might be wilful at some times but she would never hurt a fly!"

The Ji sisters who were scratched and pushed around by Ji Shan: "….." yeah she really wouldn't hurt her a fly, she will just kill it in one go!

Even Shen Tian was startled by his brother's accusations, he thought that what the Ji family said was right but at the same time he had faith in his brother, so he pursed his lips and finally said, " Second brother wouldn't it be better if you just bring out the evidence and show it to others."

Shen Zizhen smirked as he targeted the Ji family with his glare. " I wouldn't have said those accusatory words if I didn't have any evidence in my hand. I do have to admit Uncle you hid it really well, I had to work really hard to get my hands on it, if not for some inside intel, I wouldn't have been able to get here on time. But never mind, now I can finally show everyone just how disgusting the real faces of the Ji family are."

He then waved his hand and a guard appeared next to him with a sack in his hands.
