Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu in shock and almost forgot to breathe.

After several seconds, she raised her head like a drowning person who finally grabbed something and breathed heavily.

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

Cheng Jinchu took out another pair of chopsticks from the food box, and just when she was about to put the chopsticks into the bowl, her chopsticks stopped.

"Ah~! You've already eaten it. This... is my fault. I brought it to you without tasting it first!"

Sun Manman took a deep breath and stood up immediately. She looked at Xiaoju who was still standing beside her, frowned, and wanted to get angry, but she controlled herself. She couldn't let Xiaoju feel that there was anything wrong. Moreover, the content of their conversation afterwards must not be known to anyone else.

"After taking a bite of this sour thing, I immediately want to eat something. So, Xiaoju, you go out for a while. You and Xiaomei go outside to buy me some honey cakes from the shop on East Street and roast chicken from the shop on West Street. Those two shops are doing very well. You can buy some separately. I want to eat them."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Xiaoju turned around and was about to go out, but when she reached the door, Sun Manman called her again.

"By the way, where are Xiaozhu and Xiaolan?"

Xiaoju turned around and looked at Sun Manman and said.

"Sister Xiaozhu asked for leave today and went home. Sister Xiaolan was just in the yard."

Sun Manman sat down again, holding onto the table and looking at Xiaoju with a smile.

"You guys finished making the knee pads a few days ago, right?"

Xiaoju nodded and replied.

"It's done ma'am!"

Sun smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, let Xiaolan take the kneepad to the Shangshu Mansion and ask the doorman to give it to my brother. He has worked hard in his studies, and this should be a token of my love as a sister."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go find Sister Xiaolan right away!"

Sun Manman nodded, and Xiaoju lifted the curtain and went out. Cheng Jinchu was in a daze with her head propped up. She understood that Sun Manman was trying to transfer everyone away so that they could talk more easily, so she just waited quietly.

After Xiaoju left for a while, Sun Manman walked to the window. Because charcoal was burning in the house, the window was already open a little. Sun Manman opened the window a little more, looked into the yard, and then went back to the table and sat down.

"Jinyi, what exactly did you mean by that just now? I don't quite understand."

Cheng Jinchu forced a smile, looked at Sun Manman, and said nothing.

"Jinyi, are you angry with your mother? I, I'm really not feeling well. You know, I'm pregnant, so my stomach is not feeling well. I was going to come pick you up, really, but your father said that I was weak and wouldn't let me come out, so..."

Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu with a wry smile. Cheng Jinchu gave her a sweet smile in return without saying anything. The smile on Sun Manman's face almost froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She was originally a little afraid of Cheng Jinchu, but now that Cheng Jinchu was smiling at her and didn't say anything, she finally broke down her defense.

"Cheng Jinchu, what do you want? Our grievances have been settled. Isn't it enough that you killed me in your last life?"

Cheng Jinchu's face was full of disappointment.

"I thought you could hold out for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so impatient. You can just play dumb forever, right?"

Sun Manman didn't dare look Cheng Jinchu in the eye.

"I, I, don't forget, I am your mother now! What can you do to me?"

Cheng Jinchu curled his lips and smiled.

"What can I do? Sun Manman, I can do whatever I want. I can kill you again."

Cheng Jinchu paused here, then gently moved closer to Sun Manman and added quietly.

"Silently~"

When Sun Manman heard this, she couldn't help but tremble all over. She took several deep breaths and forced herself to look directly at Cheng Jinchu.

"Impossible! After all, I am your father's wife. You should know that my father here is..."

When Sun Manman said this, she suddenly seemed to think of something. She didn't say anything for a long time. After thinking for a while, she suddenly laughed.

"That woman is not the daughter of the Shen family, and neither are you!"

Sun Manman did not use a questioning tone, she said affirmatively. Cheng Jinchu picked up a clean teacup on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and did not respond. Sun Manman did not care, but the smile on her face became bigger and bigger.

"Back then, you were so badly injured that you could have killed me and you wouldn't have survived. I am here with my original name and my original appearance, and you should be the same!"

Cheng Jinchu put down the teacup, raised his chin at Sun Manman, and motioned her to continue speaking.

"Jinchu, I was sorry to you and you killed me, so we are even now. Since we grew up together, I don't care what your purpose is in coming to the Shen Mansion. I can still help you. If you need any help, I can also ensure that you live a good life in the Shen Mansion. You know, my identity here is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. You know the Shangshu, right? The official position is not bad. Let's make peace, okay?"

After Sun Manman guessed that Cheng Jinchu was not Shen Jinyi, she was still worried because she had no idea about Cheng Jinchu's background. Therefore, showing weakness was definitely her best way out.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Cheng Jinchu spoke indifferently. Sun Manman looked at Cheng Jinchu and didn't see any expression on her face indicating that she agreed with her proposal. She bit her lip.

"That girl told me a lot at the time. She also said that she had the support of the Second Young Master Zhao. You know, the Second Young Master Zhao is the son of the Prime Minister. I was always afraid of him!"

Cheng Jinchu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Manman. If she didn't know that the Prime Minister and the Shangshu had a bad relationship, she might have believed it. Seeing that Cheng Jinchu didn't look like he believed it, Sun Manman quickly added.

"Besides, didn't you notice? That girl actually looks quite like Aunt Mo. You know, Aunt Mo is the cousin of Shen Yun's original wife. They should be somewhat similar, right?"

Cheng Jinchu just felt that Mo Ling looked familiar. She always felt like she had seen her before, but she didn't pay much attention to it. When Sun Manman mentioned it, she did look a bit like her. She was not like Shen Jinyi who looked very much like Shen Yun. If you pay close attention, it seems to be as Sun Manman said.

"Chu Chu, I...I was just in love at that time, so please forgive me, I really know I was wrong, Chu Chu...Chu Chu...Okay, let's make peace."

Cheng Jinchu frowned and looked at Sun Manman, her eyes full of disgust. She stood up and stared down at Sun Manman.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't say I was someone else or had another name. I am Shen Jinyi. Maybe you just woke up and haven't differentiated between reality and dreams yet!"

Having said this, Cheng Jinchu was ready to return to his own yard. He had delayed for too long, and he guessed that Yunzhi had already returned with that person!

When she reached the door, Sun Manman called her.

"Cheng Jinchu, you can just lie to others, but don't try to lie to me. You are not the real daughter of the Shen family. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Shen Yun?"

Cheng Jinchu walked to the door, turned around and looked at Sun Manman with a smile.

"Why don't you go and give it a try? The last person who slandered me will be beheaded in a few days. If you are brave enough, you can go and see the scene then."

Having said that, Cheng Jinchu walked out of the room. Sun Manman was so angry that he picked up the bowl and was about to smash it. When he raised the bowl into the air, he suddenly remembered something and put the bowl down gently, with a hint of malice in his eyes.
