Chapter 595 I won’t
Everyone who was standing in the room immediately exchanged a glance and then very swiftly moved away from the Ji family, they knew that they will be subjected to criticism now that Shen Zizhen was here to prove that the Ji family’s daughter had something to do with a murder.Even Ji Shan’s heart jumped all the way to her throat as soon as the subordinate appeared with the moving sack, she couldn’t help but worry that things were going to get out of control sooner or later. However, she still tried to calm herself down, no matter what she was still an innocent girl and as long as she tried to clear her name from the Ji family, she will be able to escape unscathed no matter what it wasn’t her who came up with that plan anyway. It was her grandfather who came up with that rotten plan to revitalise the sinking ship of the Ji family!
But no matter what she thought, she still felt her heart thump against her chest because of the confident expression that Shen Zizhen had on his face it was making her forehead to drip with sweat even her back all wet because of all the cold sweat that was dripping.
Old madam Shen could feel that the girl in her arms was shivering crazily with sweat soaking her back. She couldn’t help but from thinking that whatever was happening was really strange. ” Shan Shan, what’s wrong, are you alright? Why are you shivering like this? Do you feel sick?”
” I am, I feel really sick, grandma….can we cancel this ceremony and go back? I don’t feel good.” Ji Shan wanted to use the sympathy that Old madam Shen had for her and trick her into leaving with her. Once she gets out of here, she will have plenty of time to think of retaliation, she was worried that if she stayed here, she would never be able to raise her head in front of others. After all, this stain of being called a ‘murderer’ in front of everyone was something that couldn’t be washed that easily —— and if Shen Zizhen really had a piece of evidence in his hands then she might be able to clear her relationship with the Ji family but she will still be seen as a cold and heartless girl.
No matter what the situation was it wouldn’t be a good condition for her to be in, therefore she wanted to leave the banquet hall as soon as she could, once she leaves here, she could always sob pitifully and confess in front of the Old madam Shen about all the crimes that the Ji family has committed against her, at least throwing the Ji family in the pit was better than being thrown out of the Shen family.
And if she was alone with Old madam Shen she will have more chances to make a fool out of her compared to when she was with her sons and grandchildren.
These people were really dangerous, if she did not take the chance and take old madam Shen away, she will regret this matter forever. Therefore she tried to act as pitiful as she could.
She leaned in the arms of the Old madam Shen with a pallid complexion like she was going to faint any second and sobbed, ” I am just so saddened with all this happening in my ceremony, I was already considered a swallow girl who was trying to jump in the nest if the phoenix, you have no idea how people kept calling me a beggar who made it big and became a princess. There were times that the others called me shameless for taking a position that didn’t belong to me, I even wanted to leave you back then Grandma but then my heart would be swayed by your warmth and I will change my mind. And even if I was treated with contempt by others, I was willing to listen to all that silently as loving as I could stay with you grandmother but I think that I was just being stupid. I should have listened to others and should have left when I had the chance.”
Then she pulled away from Old madam Shen and wiped her tears before turning to her grandfather. ” Grandfather, you asked me to be filial to Grandma—- no, Old madam Shen, saying that I will fulfil all my duties to you as long as I treat Old madam Shen with all my heart but now I think I can do that, grandfather please forgive me I couldn’t fulfil my promise to you.” After saying this she turned to Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi before bowing, ” Eldest Master Shen, Second master Shen, I understand that you are unhappy that I am taking the position that belongs to your sister’s daughter and that’s why you never liked me, Don’t worry, I will leave and I will never show my face here. I might be a poor peasant girl in your eyes given that I have nothing but I refuse to be accepted in a family where I have no respect. To be called a murderer, I think I might as well die here!”
After that, before anyone could understand what was going on, Ji Shan rushed to the wooden pillar in the corner of the room and smashed her head on it with a loud bang!
” Shan Shan!” Old madam Shen who was starting to believe her son felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Ji Shan run and hit her head on the pillar again and again as if she was trying to kill herself. Worried that she will really hurt herself, Old madam Shen hurriedly rushed to her side and pulled herself, and when her gaze fell on all the blood that was trickling down Ji Shan’s forehead, her heart started to hurt even more and she immediately took out her handkerchief and started to wipe the blood.
