Chapter 8: The Vermilion Bird Family (2)

  She still knew the principle of hiding one's light and avoiding the limelight.

  However, pretending to be stupid is one thing, she doesn't want to become the scapegoat for Shen Jiayu and Shen Jiawei when she sees Shen Feng tomorrow.

  Thinking of the situation he would face tomorrow, Shen Yanxiao narrowed his eyes and a sly smile spread across his lips.

  There is also an advantage to being stupid!

  ……

  If saying Shen Jia-yi and her brother made Shen Yan-xiao realize how humble her current identity is, then now, her understanding of this "humbleness" has been refreshed once again.

  Early in the morning, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids roughly kicked open her door and, without a shred of respect, forcibly pulled her out of bed, as if she were not Miss Qi but the humblest servant in the Zhuque Manor.

  "You're already so big, but you still need someone to serve you, dressing and washing, treating yourself like a princess." The slightly thin and rough maid roughly pulled down Shen Yanshuo's single garment, and without any gentleness, put on a relatively clean set of clothes for her. There was no softness in the force she used, and her face showed extreme dissatisfaction.

  "If it weren't for Master wanting to see her today, who would bother serving her? I really don't know what Master is thinking, keeping such a fool in the manor. It's truly embarrassing for our Zhu Que family." Another maid pulled Shen Yanxiao's hair and casually combed it.

  It would be better to say they were torturing Shen Yanshuo while helping him change and wash up rather than serving him.

  "Who says it's not? This is simply a waste of food, and this time they've even caused such a huge disaster. I'm afraid the master won't let this idiot off easily either."

  "It's better to settle such a shame as soon as possible. You don't know, outsiders are secretly making fun of this idiot and haven't spared our household from ridicule."

  Two maids complained day and night, whispering without any reserve.

  The entire Zhuque family, except for the head of the household Shen Feng who still valued the bloodline on Shen Yanshuo's body, everyone else simply regarded Shen Yanshuo's existence as a burden. They couldn't wait for this shame to the Zhuque family to die soon, so that this stain wouldn't tarnish the sacred and inviolable status of the Zhuque family.

  The harsh words poured into Shen Yanxiao's ears, but the 14-year-old kid's face didn't show any ripples, and his bright eyes stared blankly at the two maidservants in front of him, as if he hadn't understood the insults they were spewing.

  After a flurry of activity, Shen Yanshao was finally dressed and the two maidservants immediately dragged her towards the main house of the Zhuque family.

  All the way, Shen Yan Xiao allowed the two men to drag him by his clothes, without any intention of resisting. However, under those seemingly dull eyes, a hint of cunning flashed through.

  As they arrived at the main house door, two maids immediately threw this hot potato to the gatekeeper and left without looking back.

  No one noticed that in the instant when the two maidservants turned to leave, two palm-sized small pouches had been transferred from their waists to the sleeve of a certain little fellow.

  Shen Yan quietly put the first "income" he earned in this world into his pocket, and silently followed the servant with a stern face into the main house.

  As she stepped into the main house, the door behind her slowly closed, and two panicked screams of "Where's my purse?!" accompanied by the heavy sound of the door closing, were locked outside the main house.
