After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 88 I Won’t Help You

Xu Ya also knew that saying this was wrong, but precisely because of her inner turmoil, she wanted to say it for Old Mrs. Xu to hear.

She knew that the reality was exactly like this.

Otherwise, why would she favor Yun Sisi so much, despite both being her daughters?

Of course, every time she favored Yun Sisi, she felt guilty deep down.

The love that was originally meant for Yun Sisi should have wholly belonged to Yun Shifei.

But she didn’t want this either; it was simply beyond her control.

Old Mrs. Xu took a deep breath. She actually understood why Xu Ya thought this way.

As a mother herself, a child you raised with your own hands and grew up as you envisioned—any mother would like such a child.

But this indulgence harms both others and oneself.

"Xiao Ya, everyone has biases; I know you favor Sisi more. But if you could see things as comprehensively as your husband, wouldn’t you be less biased?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Ya didn’t quite understand.

Old Mrs. Xu sighed. "Think carefully. Since Sisi is really that mature and considerate, why do you always feel dislike toward Shifei because of her?"

She had just discussed this with Yun Tiancheng, all those little details about their interactions in the past.

As an outsider, she could see the issues at a glance. She didn’t believe that Xu Ya, as the mother, couldn’t figure it out.

It was just that she had always refused to accept it.

Xu Ya paused for a moment as her mind recalled past events.

Indeed, as Old Mrs. Xu said, every time there was an issue involving Yun Sisi and Yun Shifei, it was always something Yun Sisi said that made her angry.

And she always chose to believe Yun Sisi. In her subconscious, she thought Yun Sisi wouldn’t lie to her.

Her love for Yun Sisi made her unable to doubt every word from her.

If she could consider things more comprehensively each time, she wouldn’t keep questioning Yun Shifei like this.

Is it really so?

Old Mrs. Xu noticed Xu Ya’s pale complexion, seemingly lost in deep thought.

She couldn’t help but shake her head, hoping Xu Ya would figure it out this time.

Don’t let small biases tear apart the whole family.

After the red date, silver ear, and lotus seed soup was finished cooking, Xu Ya called Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi downstairs to eat.

Yun Sisi drank one bowl and set it aside; she didn’t like sweet foods very much.

Yun Shifei drank a bowl and then got up to fill another.

Old Mrs. Xu immediately smiled, "Looks like Shifei is just like me, she really likes sweet things."

Yun Shifei nodded, displaying an obedient and lovable demeanor.

Old Mrs. Xu liked her even more in her heart; the child was quite restrained and composed.

Meanwhile, Yun Sisi saw this and gave a light sneer. So what if she won over the old lady’s favor? Was it such a big deal?

Grandma was only staying here for two days before returning, and once she left, wouldn’t she still be the one in charge of the household?

But her mood was very disturbed. She noticed that Xu Ya’s gaze kept landing on Yun Shifei from time to time, with a certain meaningful look that gave her an ominous feeling.

The next day, Yun Shifei went to class and brought the candy Old Mrs. Xu had given her to Cheng Lie.

It was cherry-flavored soft candy, fragrant, sweet, and delicious.

Cheng Lie reached out to accept it.

At some point, he realized he wasn’t as resistant to eating sweets anymore.

Song Yang saw this and reached out as well.

"Hey, ugly, gimme a few pieces."

Yun Shifei replied, "No."

Who asked him to bully Cheng Lie before for Yun Sisi?

Even though Yun Shifei refused, Song Yang couldn’t lash out at her now.

Because of the trouble with Yun Sisi, he’d gotten beaten up at home again—a more severe beating than last time, leaving his entire back burning with pain.

His parents even warned him that if he caused any more nonsense at school, they’d have him expelled.

That scared Song Yang.

It wasn’t that he wanted to study, but if he really got expelled, he might never get a chance to see Yun Sisi again.

Yun Shifei was surprised that Song Yang didn’t lose his temper after being rejected. Had he changed?

But she wouldn’t believe it was some kind of moral awakening—after everything that had happened, Yun Shifei felt Song Yang simply lacked a heart.

She had helped him so much, yet he could turn on her and be utterly ruthless because of Yun Sisi.

From that moment, Yun Shifei secretly made up her mind.

She wouldn’t help Song Yang again!

"Hey, Yun Shifei, is your sister really dating Song Yang?" Suddenly, a girl who never spoke to her before leaned over, her face full of curiosity.

The classmates continued their endless discussion about Yun Sisi, even seeking gossip from Yun Shifei.

"I don’t know." Yun Shifei answered.

She honestly didn’t know why Yun Sisi went to find Song Yang that time.

Logically, it shouldn’t have happened. But if it were truly impossible, then why did she appear there?

It was certainly not something orchestrated by Cheng Lie.

Yun Shifei thought about it and still felt Yun Sisi went to find Song Yang of her own accord.

The issue with Yun Sisi was quietly simmering at school.

Even in a prestigious school, the students’ appetite for gossip hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Yun Sisi had been deeply troubled over the past two days.

Although she managed to keep her enrollment and avoided expulsion, the rumors at school had only grown louder.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and dragged Yun Shifei to the staircase after class.

"Sister, if you say it, they’ll definitely believe you. Help me clarify things."

Listening to Yun Sisi’s commanding tone, Yun Shifei couldn’t help but frown.

"No," she refused flatly.

"Why? You’re my sister!" Yun Sisi looked incredulous, "Your little sister is in a difficult spot now; can’t you help me out?"

Her tone softened, her expression shifting into a pitiful look.

This was her specialty—already innately delicate, the combination of a furrowed brow, a bitten lip, and tearful eyes portrayed her grievance and sadness to perfection.

Yun Shifei suddenly thought of events from her past life.

Back then, Yun Sisi had framed her for having an affair with Cheng Lie, leading the school to expel her. Her life became more and more miserable afterward.

In this life, she had been reborn right before that scene. If not for her quick reaction and escape...

Thinking of this, Yun Shifei spoke coldly, "I won’t help you. You’re reaping what you’ve sown."

Yun Sisi was startled. "What do you mean, reaping what I’ve sown?"

Yun Shifei glanced at Yun Sisi’s puzzled expression and lowered her eyes, wondering why some people could hurt others so effortlessly, so naturally—without a shred of guilt. Even though she hadn’t been framed in this life, Yun Sisi had locked her in that abandoned house.

And yet Yun Sisi had forgotten?

For some reason, after the surge of emotions, Yun Shifei’s feelings surprisingly calmed down.

She raised her eyes, her gaze clear and icy.

Yun Sisi felt chills creep up her scalp as Yun Shifei stared her down.

Then, she heard Yun Shifei say quietly, "That day, in that abandoned house—you framed me with Cheng Lie, remember?"

That day!

Yun Sisi’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Yun Shifei as if she had seen a ghost.

She... she knew...

Then why hadn’t she said anything at the time? Why hold it back until now?
