Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 20 Method
Shen Mengwu raised her chin proudly, with a casual attitude, without any airs of a spoiled young lady at all.

Shen Mengning was quiet.

A smile flashed in Shen Fuyu's eyes. Although both young ladies had some minor problems, their personalities had been well-educated by Madam Shen. They were not at all like other arrogant and domineering young ladies, and they did not treat the lives of servants as a joke.

"The eldest lady and the second lady are both very good people." Shen Fuyu couldn't help but praise them.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mengwu immediately looked at Shen Fuyu with sparkling eyes, blinking her beautiful eyes, "Shen Fuyu, do you really think I'm good?"

Shen Mengwu couldn't believe it. Her mother always said she was disobedient and rebellious. She was not as good as her sister, who was well-behaved and quiet and could listen to her teachings. Even the servants liked her sister more than her. This was the first time someone praised her!

She suddenly felt that Shen Fuyu was not that annoying.

"Of course." Shen Fuyu said seriously, "Second Miss kept her promise and is a loyal person. She could have used her status to refuse my request and forced me to tell her the solution, but she didn't. Isn't that enough to prove that she is a good person?"

Shen Mengwu touched her chin and nodded seriously. Yes, she is very good.

She tried hard to suppress the corners of her lips that were trying hard to turn upwards.

"Okay, go call someone."

If Shen Mengwu had a tail behind her, it would definitely be pointing up to the sky at this moment.

Shen Mengwu smiled foolishly, and only Shen Fuyu praised her for her loyalty.

Others were saying behind her back that she was uneducated and unskilled and was destined to have no future.

It would be better to place your hopes on your sister.

Shen Mengwu was very depressed when she heard this. She just wanted to learn martial arts to protect her family and keep them from getting hurt. Why was she said to be unlearned?
Isn't learning martial arts a way out? She heard that there were martial arts champions in the past!
In order to prove herself, Shen Mengwu worked hard to learn martial arts.

As for why she climbed over the wall and sneaked out of the house every day, it was all for the sake of justice.

It’s a good thing!

Thinking of this, Shen Mengwu rolled her eyes and had an idea in her mind.

Here, Shen Fuyu came to Daya's room.

"Sister Daya, are you there?" Shen Fuyu raised her hand and knocked on the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened immediately.

Daya was like a big golden retriever, staring at Shen Fuyu eagerly.

"Sister Fuyu, why are you here?"

"Madam gave me a table of food, which was very filling. I couldn't finish it by myself, so I thought of asking Sister Daya to come over." Shen Fuyu looked at her with a smile.

Sure enough, Daya immediately looked greedy.

Shen Fuyu, "Sister Daya, let's go and call Sister Hongxing over."

"Okay!" Daya wiped her saliva and went to the next room without saying a word.

"Oh! Look, Hong Xing, you're all alone, so pitiful! Knowing that Shen Fuyu would only stay for half a month, you chose to go against us and try to please Shen Fuyu. What happened? Shen Fuyu ran off to his master to eat and drink, and had already forgotten about you."

Hongzhu was sarcastic.

Hongzhu had long disliked Hongxing. Not only did she not stand on the same side with them, she also treated Shen Fuyu as her own sister and loved her dearly.

"Sister Fuyu is not that kind of person. She just doesn't have the time! Besides, I treat Sister Fuyu well out of my own free will and without expecting anything in return. Besides, Sister Fuyu treats me very well too."

"You're still stubborn. Shen Fuyu has ignored you since she was transferred to the inner courtyard." Hong Zhu rolled her eyes and scoffed at Hong Xing's words. "Hong Xing, Hong Xing, why are you so stupid? You might as well apologize to us. We're still good sisters and we won't make things difficult for you."

"Anyway, Sister Fuyu is not an ungrateful person!"

Hong Xing is not good at speaking and can only repeat the same thing over and over again.

"Sister Hong Xing."

Shen Fuyu's voice came, and a small figure stood by the door. The hazy moonlight sprinkled on her body, making her look like a fairy child descending from the earth. For half a month, Shen Fuyu had been taking good care of her body, which led to her complexion improving and her originally sallow complexion fading a little.

She showed her small white teeth and said, "Madam gave me a table of food as a reward. It is said to be very popular. I can't finish it all by myself, so I came here specifically to find Sister Hong Xing to go with me."

The big bunk bed suddenly became quiet, and those who were originally watching the lively scene just felt pain on their faces.

Hong Xing immediately smiled and said, Sister Fu Yu is not an ungrateful person who will turn her back on you.

Shen Fuyu is worthy, so she treats Shen Fuyu very well.

The three of them went to Shaohua Garden together.

Shen Mengning and Shen Mengwu sat quietly beside the dining table, waiting for Shen Fuyu to come back.

Hong Xing quietly tugged at the corner of Shen Fuyu's clothes, "Sister Fuyu, are we going to eat with the eldest and second young ladies?"

"Yes." Shen Fuyu nodded.

Daya on the side didn't pay attention to these questions, her eyes seemed to be glued to the food.

Hong Xing whispered, "It is said that the Second Young Miss has a bad temper. She often bullies people outside because she learns martial arts. Many ordinary people on the street have been bullied by the Second Young Miss. In the academy, the Second Young Miss even wanted to hit the princess. If the teacher hadn't stopped her in time, the princess would have..."

A trace of fear flashed in Hong Xing's eyes. Shen Mengwu has always had a bad reputation in the mansion, no, or in the city.

In this dynasty where both men and women could take the imperial examinations, everyone was studying hard.

The second young lady was determined to learn martial arts and would beat people up if she disagreed with them. Everyone was afraid of her and would avoid her when they saw her.

"Not at all!"

Before Shen Fuyu could speak, Daya couldn't wait to refute him, and even moved her eyes away from the food.

"The Second Young Lady is a chivalrous woman, and those she beats deserve it."

"Hong Xing, please don't be prejudiced against the Second Miss."

Daya slowly maintained in her tone.

"Sister Hong Xing, I think we should look at what a person has done, not just their reputation."

"After all, there are a lot of people who say bad things about me, right?"

Shen Fuyu's clear and innocent eyes touched Hong Xing's heart.

Hong Xing's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt embarrassed about her thoughts. Yes, Sister Fu Yu had a bad reputation.

She is not the bully that Hongzhu says she is, nor is she the ungrateful person with a heart as big as a sieve. How could she be prejudiced against the second lady because of rumors from the outside world?

Seeing Hong Xing's sudden realization, Shen Fuyu withdrew his gaze and happily pulled them to sit at the dining table.

"Have a meal!"

Only after Shen Fuyu gave the order did they pick up their chopsticks.

Shen Mengwu suddenly felt a surge of lofty ambition in her heart. She suddenly stood up, without saying a word, and quickly returned to the room.

Shen Fuyu narrowed his eyes. Shen Mengwu was very fast and returned to the room in just three seconds.

And his steps were extremely light and steady.

Is it...

Shen Mengwu has become a Taoist?

Shen Fuyu lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts. Instead of dealing with Shen Yi's secret guard, it would be better to start with the second young lady.
