The abandoned daughter of a wealthy family turns out to be a lucky charm, changing the fate of her e

Old Madam Shi was taken aback, then gently placed her large hand on the little girl's slender back, smiling kindly:

"Silly girl, since she has the surname Shen, she is our own granddaughter."

"If anyone dares to look down on your background in the future, just ask your three older brothers and three uncles for support. If all else fails, you still have five uncles. Your maternal grandfather is old, but he's not incapable of fighting back."

Shen Zhi was stunned. The little voice in her mind counted the number of people one by one on her fingers. So many... Zhi Zhi suddenly had so many more relatives!

Shi Qi smiled and ruffled the little girl's hair:

"Zhizhi, your uncle is a lawyer. If anyone bullies you, tell him. I have plenty of ways to make sure they spend their whole lives in jail!"

Shi Qi, standing before me, was full of vigor and confidence in his career.

Completely unlike Shi Qi in his previous life... He was locked in solitary confinement, wearing a faded prison uniform, his beard unkempt, squatting in a corner, his eyes devoid of any light.

life imprisonment.

This is Shi Qi's fate in his previous life.

Shen Zhi felt a sudden pang of sadness and had to lower her head so that they wouldn't see her reddened eyes.

She clenched her fists, making up her mind:

In this life, Shen Zhi vows to protect the Shen family and the Shi family with her life! She will never let them suffer the same pain as in her past life again!

After dinner, Shen Zhi was led by Old Madam Shi for a walk in the courtyard to aid digestion.

Shen Zhi walked obediently by herself, her big eyes wide open as if she were curious about everything in the yard.

In reality, the little girl was using this opportunity to find out where the dirty things that were causing trouble in the Shi family were hidden.

The Shi family's courtyard was very well designed and arranged. It was designed by a famous Chinese landscape designer. Originally, the courtyard was full of beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, the plants were not cooperating and all looked listless.

The leaves are either yellow, dry, and curled up; or they are dull and lifeless.

Old Madam Shi touched the dry leaves beside her and couldn't help but sigh:

"Sigh, I really have absolutely no talent for growing plants. Everyone says plants are the easiest to grow, even a complete novice can do it well. Grandma Zhang and Grandma Li's gardens are all bursting with flowers, but mine... sigh!"

Shen Zhi opened her big, round eyes and searched around for something. When she heard her grandmother's words, she subconsciously turned her head and glanced at her, her little brows furrowing instantly.

wrong.

That's not right!

The Cymbidium goeringii in front of my grandmother is a shade-loving plant.

The housekeeper also said that the frequency of watering is strictly controlled, and even the soil is specially transported from other places as humus. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have grown like this.

But its leaves are not only yellow, but the tips of the leaves also have a strange black tinge.

It's as if all its nutrients have been absorbed by something.

Shen Zhi frowned. This time, she didn't even need the jade gourd to search; she was almost certain that there was something dirty under the plant!

Shen Zhi casually moved two steps to the side, standing imperceptibly in the middle of the courtyard, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

really!

If it weren't for my grandparents' good fortune and their years of healing the sick and saving lives, which inadvertently shielded them from the foul air of that filthy thing, they might be the two of them sickly right now!

How vicious this move is!

Shen Zhi dared not make any rash moves, knowing that her grandmother was in poor health and could not withstand being frightened.

She needs to find an opportunity to take it away when no one is around.

"Grandma," Shen Zhi tugged at the old lady's sleeve and said in a childish voice, "Zhi Zhi is a little sleepy. Grandma will take Zhi Zhi to bed."

As she spoke, the little girl blinked slowly, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Shen Zhi stretched out her two little arms, her soft and sweet voice wanting a hug.

Madam Shi smiled and agreed, then had the housekeeper carry her towards Shen Zhi's room.

The little girl leaned on my shoulder, her eyes fixed intently on the plate of black orchids.

In her mind, little Zhizhi was already raising a hammer, eager to smash it to pieces!

Ten minutes later, Shen Zhi heard steady breathing beside her, so she quietly slipped out of her grandmother's arms, lay down on the bed, avoided the housekeeper, and headed straight for the back garden.

About half an hour later, Shen Zhi clapped her hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked back.

It seems like I just went to the restroom, and nothing happened.

Apart from Shen Zhi, no one else could see that the black aura gathered above the Shi family had dissipated somewhat, and even the air in the entire Shi family compound felt much fresher.

Meanwhile, not far away, at the Lin family's residence.

While Mrs. Lin was sleeping, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, a feeling of suffocation that made it hard for her to breathe.

She rubbed her chest, her eyes flickering as she murmured:

"I hope I'm not discovered... I've hidden myself so well."

Before Old Madam Lin could think further, hurried footsteps sounded outside, accompanied by complaints:

"Mom! I'm so angry! The Su family's deal has fallen through!"

Frustrated, Lin Zhu rushed back to Suzhou from Jiangcheng and immediately began complaining to Old Madam Lin as soon as she sat down.

"It's all Shi Qi's fault! How could a grown man like him steal my order? How could he have the nerve to do that!"

When the Shi family was mentioned, the Lin mother and daughter only showed disgust in their eyes.

Old Madam Lin snorted coldly, her face so dark it seemed to drip ink: "What else could that slut's child be but a little bitch?"

Lin Zhu was already used to her mother secretly scolding the old lady, and didn't think that the words were too much.

She knew about the history between her elders from a young age.

His father had a crush on the old lady for many years, a true white moonlight, but in the end he could only watch helplessly as she married his mortal enemy, while he himself could only accept the family marriage and marry Madam Lin.

The thing she did most often since she was a child was to sit down with her mother and complain about the Shi family.

The two chatted enthusiastically, one after the other.

Just then, a servant came in to announce, "Madam, the eldest young lady has arrived with Miss Weiwei and Young Master Yufeng."

Madam Lin's sharp and mean expression vanished, replaced by a warm smile: "Quickly, bring Weiwei and Feng'er in."

Lin Zhu hadn't seen her little niece Lu Weiwei for a long time, and upon seeing her, she affectionately hugged her in her arms.

"Our Weiwei is still the cutest. She was an adopted little girl back then, and she didn't look like she was going to have much good fortune."

Upon hearing a few keywords, Lu Weiwei turned her head and asked, "Auntie, is that little girl named Shen Zhi?"

"Yes, Weiwei, you know her too?"

"Hmph! Don't even mention it! She's the one who made Weiwei lose face at the homecoming banquet. I'm so annoyed with her!" Madam Lu got angry as soon as the matter was mentioned, rubbing her temples. "If it weren't for her and her brother causing trouble, Feng'er wouldn't have missed the opportunity to show off in front of Professor Ming."

"Now it's all over, even Professor Ming refuses to let Feng'er study at Mingli Medical College."

Madam Lu's return to her parents' home this time was also for this matter.

She looked at Old Madam Lin with a troubled expression: "Mom, don't you have a relationship with the Ming family? Could you put in a good word for me?"

Madam Lin's lips twitched slightly.

Her relationship with the Ming family wasn't actually that close... Mingxi was the daughter of her stepfather's cousin's second aunt.

"Mom, are you really going to watch Feng'er miss out on such excellent medical education resources at Mingli?"
