Chapter 41: Still a Young Child

"Miss Shen, isn't lying on the ground rather cold?" Qiao Nian asked as she walked up to Shen Xing. Reaching out, she pinched Shen Xing's philtrum.

Shen Xing came to in a daze. The moment she opened her eyes, she glimpsed Qiao Nian. It was as if she had seen a ghost. She turned pale in fright and pushed Qiao Nian away.

Qiao Nian fell back uncontrollably and shut her eyes tight. However, the expected pain from the impact did not arrive.

Opening her eyes, she found that Gu Zhou was holding onto her waist, preventing her from falling.

Shen Xing scrambled to her feet and ran to Matriarch Shen's side. With teary eyes, she said, "Grandma, you have to believe me. It really was Qiao Nian who killed my sister!"

"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?" Matriarch Shen gripped her walking stick tightly. Glaring at Shen Xing, she roared, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Qiao!"
