I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

There was a starlight in Jiang Huashan's eyes.

I didn't say that! Grandpa figured it out himself.

Shen Zhuang observed Jiang Huashan quietly. Although she still didn't say a word, her sparkling eyes and upturned mouth corners were enough to explain everything.

Jiang Huashan stood up quickly, looking excited, "Grandpa, wait for me! I'll be back soon." After that, she turned around and rushed out of the tea room.

Shen Zhuang looked at her back, with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were inexplicably red.

In fact, Shen Zhuang had become suspicious since Jiang Huashan drove Fang Mei away.

If she was still the little flower she used to be, she would be so attached to Fang Mei that it would be impossible for her to let her go, and she would never risk her life to save Sui'er.

The Fu family's affairs, Xiangying's affairs, and the conflict in Studio No. 3, each and every one of them was handled too perfectly, not at all like something his little flower could do.

but!

How come this isn't his little flower?

They knew how to grow flowers, knew not to point a blade at one's relatives, knew to drink pig brain soup together, and even knew that a family with a hundred chariots should not keep ministers who were greedy for wealth...

The moonlight is bright and the evening breeze is gentle.

Shen Mianzhi walked out of the side courtyard with a dull look in his eyes, and kept thinking about Shen Qingyu's words in his mind.

"Grandpa is talking about benevolence and righteousness, not 'false benevolence and false righteousness'."

"Hypocritical?" She kept murmuring this, and for some reason she suddenly felt ashamed.

Among so many children in Shenyuan, she is the only one who lives a life without light. Even her father is not valued by her grandfather. It would be great if she could be like Jiang Huashan.

"Zhizhi."

Shen Mianzhi raised his head, his dazed eyes suddenly warmed up, "Dad..."

Shen Rang walked quickly across the rockery and looked at her with a smile, "Let's go home."

Shen Mianzhi was slightly stunned and looked in the direction of Pianyan.

Shen Rang understood and patted her head, "Dad has taken a leave of absence. This time it's for half a year. He won't go anywhere and will just stay with us, Zhizhi."

Shen Mianzhi frowned slightly, a little worried, "But Grandpa..."

Shen Rang, "Don't worry, it was your grandfather who took the initiative to bring it up."

Shen Mianzhi lowered his eyes and nodded silently.

Shen Rang knew she was sensitive, so he whispered to her, "Zhizhi, Dad and Grandpa both know you're a good child. No one's perfect in this world, regardless of their actions. Regardless, you didn't abandon Shanshan and Suier when they were in danger. That's already great. As for the rest, let time take care of it, right?"

He took his daughter's hand, his chubby face full of love, "Dad will grow up with you."

Shen Mianzhi curled her fingertips slightly, and after a moment of silence, she tightly held Shen Rang's hand, as if she had made a great decision. She slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Rang, "Dad, I have a secret to tell you."

Shen Rang smiled faintly, "Okay, Zhizhi hasn't shared a secret with daddy for a long time."

Shen Mianzhi twitched the corners of her mouth, and her eyes lost focus for a moment. "Dad, I seem to be sick. I can't control myself. I checked online and I might have a mental problem."

The smile on Shen Rang's face froze for a moment.

Shen Mianzhi looked at him helplessly, "Dad, I'm so scared! I dare not say it. I'm afraid that grandpa will send me away, I'm afraid of being locked up, I'm afraid of becoming a joke in the Shen family, but what I'm most afraid of is that you will be looked down upon by others because of me..."

Shen Rang's eyes were slightly red, and he hugged Shen Mianzhi in his arms, "Zhizhi, don't be afraid, Daddy will protect you."

The banquet in the side hall was coming to an end and the guests had begun to leave.

Fang Mei sat in an inconspicuous corner, watching the food get cold and the lights go out.

Jiang Wanyi carefully pushed Fang Mei's shoulder and said, "Mom, the party is over."

Fang Mei woke up as if from a dream, staring blankly at the hanging flower gate that was so close to her.

That night, no matter what methods she tried, she couldn't cross the wall of the side hall. How come Shen Garden, which she could easily enter at the beginning, has now become as unattainable as the Yaochi Palace in Heaven?

Fang Mei clenched her fingertips, laughed cruelly twice, and touched Jiang Wanyi's face, "Yiyi, do you want to enter Shen Garden again and become the master there?"

Jiang Wanyi nodded impatiently. She thought about it, she dreamed about it.

The vicious look in Fang Mei's eyes instantly softened, "Then you must listen to your mother and don't be like your ignorant sister."

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

On the other side, the door of the tea room was suddenly pushed open, and the incense stick in the belly of the golden auspicious beast was burned to the last inch, and curls of green smoke were scattered among the tea fragrance.

Jiang Huashan's eyes sparkled. After running two steps, he seemed to remember something and closed the door cautiously.

"Grandpa." She didn't care about being out of breath and spread out her hands. In one hand was a memory card the size of a fingernail, and in the other hand was a list that had been folded in half countless times.

"What is this?" Shen Zhuang looked at the two things in her hands, his eyes hesitant. After a moment's thought, his expression changed slightly. "Is this what they were looking for in the studio that day?"

Jiang Huashan's eyes suddenly lit up!

Oh my god! Grandpa is so smart!

From the moment she refused the role, Jiang Huashan had been thinking about how to tell her grandfather about this matter in a natural way without arousing suspicion.

Those girls were suffering, and true salvation only came now. At her current rate of growth, who knew how long it would take to rescue them personally? She wasn't so heartless as to make these girls endure for a few more years in vain for a supposed system reward.

and……

After going through those things, even if they are rescued, they will be already broken. There are so many prejudices in this world. If they cannot hide it, it will be a second disaster for those girls.

But if it was grandpa who took action, it might not be the case.

Furthermore, she always felt that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this matter. Even if her grandfather followed the clues, the more he found out, the more prepared he would be for future events. Just like now, her grandfather already knew that there was a traitor around him, so he would at least be more cautious than usual.

Shen Zhuang put the memory card aside and opened the list first. There were more than 50 numbers on it, all of which were marked with the word "Yao". The top four of them were marked with the word "Yao".

"You checked?"

Jiang Huashan hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

The show is so bad, who knows if the "cannot reveal" refers only to not revealing that there is a book in its head, or does it mean that nothing about the plot of the show can be mentioned at all?

The inexplicable generation of character labels is a small matter, but if her grandfather is really wiped out, she will probably die together with the broken book.

Shen Zhuang didn't care and took a closer look. "The list at the back is all the guests attending the dinner today..." Shen Zhuang paused, his face solemn. "Did you sneak into the monitoring room?"

The expression in Jiang Huashan's eyes at this moment was nothing but surprise. She hadn't even said a word, but Grandpa could already guess it!?

Shen Zhuang frowned, "Forget about it before, but you are not allowed to interfere in this matter again."

Jiang Huashan nodded. She had already refused the task. If her grandfather came forward, it would naturally not be her turn to worry about what would happen next.

Shen Zhuang put down the list and stared at Jiang Huashan with a frown. He had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he was afraid of asking things he shouldn't.

People who have lived for most of their lives see everything clearly. No one will come back for no reason. They will either have resentment or regrets.

"Little Flower..." Shen Zhuang suppressed the soreness in his throat and looked at him earnestly, "Have you grown up well?"

Jiang Huashan's bright eyes were lost in thought for a moment. After a long moment, she smiled and said, "Yes."
