His Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Fiance - Chapter 5 - The Shen Family (2)

Chapter 5 – The Shen Family (2)
“Ziqiao, I truly feel sorry. I thought it was the room of ninth prince, but I didn’t expect that… the ninth prince would be temporarily busy and be delayed.” Sheng Peiyin lowered her head guilty, revealing a beautiful slim neck like a white swan.

Shen Ziqiao graciously took her arm and said, “How can I blame older sister Sheng? You merely wanted to help me, it’s my foolish self entirely the one to blame.”

“I will help you next time once again.” Sheng Peiyin smiled gently, holding Shen Ziqiao’s hand.

They both looked at each other with a smile, and each other’s eyes held a different light.

After parting with Sheng Peiyin at the gate of the Thousand Buddha Temple, Shen Ziqiao got into her carriage and returned to Shen family residence.

The carriage entered a sacred and majestic gate. Shen Ziqiao looked out the bamboo curtain to see huge patches of sunflowers scattered on the streets. There were shouts from the hustle and bustle of the people coming and going. She immediately had a splitting headache from her conflicting emotions.

This is not the world she knows—everything is strange. Shen Ziqiao was afraid.

She didn’t understand for what reason she was transmigrated inside the book. Don’t tell me because she roasted the author of the book online and was struck by karma?

Sheng Ziqiao shook her head, there was no time to fool around with such leisurely thoughts. She had to think carefully about what to do after arriving at the Shen family’s residence.

In regards to the Shen family tree, it wasn’t described much in the book. The only thing she knows is that Shen Ziqiao has one older and younger brothers, and two older sisters.

Her father, Shen Xiao, is the country’s high ranking general. Her older brother was part of the military and her younger brother was still in the academy studying. Her two older sisters… she doesn’t really know a lot about them.

The Shen family household is managed by the old madam Shen. Her mother, madam Shen became sick from her pregnancy of Ziqiao. Three years later, Shen Xiao thought about taking a second wife. Unfortunately, every time he was about to get married, Ziqiao would get seriously ill. No one could look after her, so Shen Xiao had to be the one to take care of her.

Shen Xiao’s marriage was delayed several times because of this until the time came he no longer wanted to take a second wife.

Shen Xiao and the deceased madam Shen were genuinely in love with each other, and they doted heavily on their daughter Ziqiao. However, the old madam Sheng was cold and detached to Ziqiao because she believed she was responsible for her mother’s death and for Shen Xiao not being able to take another wife.

The old madam Shen would always ignore and be indifferent to her. Even if she was pampered by her father, with Shen Xiao out in the battlefield for years, she was bound to be neglected.

That’s why Shen Ziqiao, became the unruly black sheep of the family, in a desperate plea to attract the attention of those around her…

This is all she knows about the identity of the present Shen Ziqiao. She couldn’t believe she was stuck with a difficult character–it gave her a headache thinking about it. Furthermore, in the end, she is cannon fodder.

Could the author have been more clear about this character?

As for Sheng Peiyin’s revenge, the reborn heroine, it’s all because her father was killed by Shen Xiao in her past life. And caused the downfall of the Sheng family. Sheng Peiyin was humiliated and killed herself only to be reborn.

In this time, Shen Xiao has not yet killed the lord Sheng. And now Sheng Peiyin has started her revenge on the Shen family.

Shen Ziqiao was speechless and tearless, why is she so miserable?
