If he had been willing to spend some time on Shen Qingyu and let her and Shen Xitong learn to read and write, wouldn't Shen Qingyu be one of the talented women famous in Jinling Prefecture now? Then she would have a lot of options for her future marriage.

Although Shen Xitong's reputation as a talented woman has spread, after she came of age, the families who came to marry her were always unsatisfactory because of her status as a concubine's daughter. If they wanted to marry into the Nanrong family, they would need to promote Shen Xitong to be a legitimate daughter.

This is also something that makes Shen Chuanhe quite worried.

His eyes fell on Shen Qingyu. By next year, Shen Qingyu would have reached the age of coming of age, and by then she would be ready to get married. He wondered if it was too late to ask a teacher to teach her now?

Her appearance is not outstanding, but her temperament is outstanding. Among all the young ladies from aristocratic families, Shen Qingyu will be the most special one.

I used to think that this daughter was so stupid that there was no need to train her. But now it seems that if she is trained well, she may be able to find a reliable marriage. If the power of her husband's family is stable, then the status of the Shen family in Jinling Prefecture will also rise.

Shen Ruyan saw that today's matter was irreversible, and stopped helping Aunt Liu, "Third brother, you really need to take good care of this family."

Shen Chuanhe felt reluctant in his heart. After all, Aunt Liu had been with him for more than ten years, and he had doted on her for more than ten years. The friendship between them was still there. His anger dissipated, and he was no longer as ruthless as before.

However, Shen Chuanhe felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard Shen Ruyan's words. This was probably a hint at him. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could he manage the Shen family?

Shen Chuanhe said with a wry smile: "Don't worry about it, big sister. The truth has already been revealed."

"Daddy..." Shen Xitong looked at Shen Chuanhe aggrievedly. She dared not show those arrogant and domineering expressions anymore, but she was really too aggrieved. Shen Chuanhe had never scolded her like this in front of others. He always told her that in his heart, she was the real legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Now he didn't love her at all.

"Don't cry all the time, what a disgrace." Shen Chuanhe was still scolding her, but his tone was no longer so harsh. "Learn from your sister in the future and be more calm. Don't always yell and make noises. You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all."

Shen Xitong learned her lesson this time and held back her tears. "Daddy is right. My daughter and I were deceived by my cousin. We didn't know it would turn out this way. We almost caused our second sister to suffer. It's our fault."

Because Shen Qingyu had just found fault with her words, Shen Xitong didn't dare to do it again. She could only call Aunt Liu "Aunt", not caring at all about how Aunt Liu felt.

Shen Xitong quickly ran to Shen Qingyu and said, "Second sister, it's all my fault. I was blinded by anger today and hurt the harmony between you and me. I hope you won't blame me."

She pretended to be very close to Shen Qingyu, but Shen Qingyu made her feel disgusted.

Shen Qingyu had seen her being arrogant and domineering many times on weekdays. Whether it was towards her or others, Shen Xitong was arrogant and domineering at home and didn't take others seriously at all.

I didn't expect that she would suffer such a big loss today.

"It's good that sister knows. Only when you and I are in harmony can our family prosper, right?" Seeing that Shen Xitong had already apologized and admitted her mistake, this was the scene that Shen Chuanhe wanted to see the most. Shen Qingyu didn't want to cause trouble for herself for no reason. It was just superficial effort, so she could just deal with it.

Shen Chuanhe was very satisfied when he saw the two sisters being so affectionate with each other, and he agreed very much with what Shen Qingyu said.

"Qing Yu is right. Harmony in the family is the most important thing."

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to delve into the matter any further. It would not benefit anyone. A small punishment would be enough to serve as a warning.

After all, Aunt Liu still has a son, Shen Youxing, who is the future of the Shen family and the smartest child in the family. He is Aunt Liu's golden ticket to immortality. No matter how big a mistake she makes, Shen Chuanhe will not do anything to her for the sake of this child.

However, although Aunt Liu escaped the disaster, some people still had to be punished.

Otherwise, what she had experienced today would have been in vain. If Liu Yiping was not punished, how could she be willing to accept it?

Liu Yiping noticed Shen Qingyu's cold gaze and was so scared that his whole body was shaking.

Bai Ying followed Shen Qingyu's gaze and immediately said, "As a mother, I should stand up for my daughter today. I must seek justice for Qingyu and not let her be bullied in vain. Someone, drag Liu Yiping away and beat him up!"

If we can't do anything to Aunt Liu, can't we take action against Liu Yiping?

"Yiping!"

Jin threw herself on Liu Yiping, pretending to protect her son, "Madam Liu, your brother only has this one son. Do you want to watch him die with your own eyes? If anything happens to him, do you believe me..."

"sister in law!"

Aunt Liu was really scared to death. She couldn't let Jin tell all the truth.

Bai Ying only wanted to beat Liu Yiping up, which would at most cause physical pain, and she would never kill him. But if Jin told everything, then everything would be over for her.

As the saying goes, "If you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood." Aunt Liu was resentful. She didn't understand why her brother married such a short-sighted woman. If she wanted to keep the Liu family well, her position in the Shen family must not fall. She couldn't even see this and only cared about her own immediate interests. It was really stupid.

How could she have such a sister-in-law? No wonder her son is so useless and can't even do such a small thing.

Liu Yiping had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. He was completely spoiled. When he heard Bai Ying wanted someone to beat him up, he was so scared that he cried and screamed for his parents. He was in a very embarrassed state. "Mom, save me, save me, I don't want to die here, aunt, save me!"

He regretted it so much now. It would have been fine to play with a few maids, which was not a big deal and no one would blame him. But he was obsessed and believed what Aunt Liu said. He insisted on becoming the husband of the eldest daughter of the Shen family. He didn't get the son-in-law of the Shen family, but he had already lost half of his life. He was afraid that the remaining half of his life would be in danger.

He had no way to fight with Shen Qingyu. This girl was too smart. Since the moment he appeared, she had already calculated everything for him. She knew exactly what he wanted to do.

This is really terrible. He is no match for Shen Qingyu at all. Liu Yiping dares not to provoke Shen Qingyu again, but the Shen family will not let him go.

One of the Shen family's servants had already brought wooden sticks and thick ropes as Bai Ying had ordered, obviously intending to follow Bai Ying's orders and give Liu Yiping a severe beating.

After seeing this thing, Liu Yiping and Jin were horrified. If they were really beaten up, would they be able to return alive?

If something happened to Liu Yiping in the Shen family, she would be held accountable if she returned to the Liu family. Her husband was greedy for money and loved gambling, and he had concubines one after another in the courtyard, who never knew her hardships.

Jin was too anxious to care about anything else. "Madam Liu, do you really want to do this to the extreme? Yi Ping has been doing everything according to your instructions. If you hadn't said that if he married the second daughter of the Shen family, the two families would be even more closely related in the future, and he would enjoy endless wealth and glory. Now that the matter has been exposed, you two mother and daughter want to clear yourselves and let my son take the blame for you. Liu Hualing, God is watching what you do. Aren't you afraid of retribution from God for doing this?!"

Aunt Liu really wanted to stop it but it was too late. Her head was buzzing, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground, her face pale, as if the sky had fallen.

She covered her chest, as if she was about to spit out blood, "Master, I don't have it!"

Aunt Liu had made all the calculations, but in the end she suffered at the hands of her ignorant relative. Jin was only concerned about immediate benefits and made Aunt Liu suffer a heavy loss.

As expected, every evildoer will be punished by his own evil. Has she ever thought that she would face such a disaster?

Jin blurted out everything that should and shouldn't be said. Aunt Liu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She really wanted to sew Jin's mouth shut. Didn't this woman really know how stupid she had been?

Aunt Liu came forward and slapped Jin, making Jin see stars. "Idiot, do you really want to kill the Liu family?!"

"Master!" Aunt Liu turned around and went to Shen Chuanhe to plead, "Master, this is not the case. Please, for Xing'er's sake, give me a chance and let me explain myself."

Speaking of Shen Youxing, she didn't believe that Shen Chuanhe would not be soft-hearted.

As expected, Shen Chuanhe's attitude softened a bit.

Shen Qingyu thought of his sickly younger brother. Due to his congenital deficiency, he was weak and had to take medicine all year round. Even so, his body was getting worse day by day. His pale and frail face was really heartbreaking to look at.

Shen Youhong is a tool in reality. The legitimate son is sick and weak and cannot be used, which highlights the illegitimate son's excellence and potential. After all, he is just a poor and innocent child. No matter how many mistakes others have made, no matter what Shen Youhong has done wrong, he was born with such a body.

As for his fate, even if Aunt Liu and others did not drug him, he would not live long. His fate, Shen Youhong, was to make way for Shen Youxing. If the legitimate son did not die, how could the illegitimate son take the throne?

But he was a living human being, and even in the book, there was no word of pity left for him. It was as if the god of death took away his life, but his death was used to create a future for others.

But she saw that Shen Youhong, who was already ten years old, was weak because the illness was eating away at his body. He was not even as strong and healthy as Shen Youxing. During the days she spent with Shen Youhong, she found that her brother was almost weightless. No wonder she always saw Bai Ying holding Shen Youhong, because it really was not difficult at all.

She didn't have much concept of family affection, whether in the previous world or in the current world. Bai Ying's indifferent maternal love had made her accustomed to putting interests first in everything. But when she looked at Shen Youhong, she briefly thought that she still had relatives.

"Aunt Liu, the second young master is still so young. How could you think of using him as an excuse?" Aunt Chen snorted coldly.

Now that Shen Youxing has been brought out, Shen Chuanhe will definitely be soft-hearted.

He let out a long sigh, "Ling'er, even if you were deceived in this matter, Liu Yiping is still your nephew after all. It was you who brought him to the Shen family, which caused the chaos in our Shen family."

"Just based on this, why should I forgive him?"

Aunt Liu saw that Liu Yiping could not escape the disaster today, and she no longer had the intention to save him. If he had not been so stupid, things would not have turned out like this.

She stepped forward and slapped Liu Yiping hard, cursing him harshly, "You beast, I have always treated you well, like my own son, and never lacked you for anything. You really repay me like this! Today I must teach you a lesson, lest you make a big mistake and ruin the Liu family!"

The Liu family can be the Liu family headed by the eldest branch of the Liu family, or it can be the Liu family where the sixth master of the Liu family is nothing.
