Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Sister, are you going to convict Aunt Xue without knowing anything?" Shen Jingwan asked.

After she finished speaking, she glanced towards Madam Shen San and Shen Qingjiang, and continued, "Everyone knows that after this child is born, if it is a boy, he will be taken to be raised by his mother. Does your sister hate her so much that she doesn't want her to have a son? Or does she hate my father so much that she wants him to have no descendants?"

After hearing what Shen Jingwan said, Madam Shen San also glared at Shen Chuning and said with great sorrow: "Aning, it was you who said that you wanted to be adopted into the second house. If you didn't, the relationship would be severed. Why are you doing this now?"

"Hmph, I said Xiaojiu is a debt collector and not as considerate as Wan'er." Shen Qingjiang said disdainfully.

Shen Chuning lowered her eyes. Even though she had long been disappointed with her biological parents, she still felt a little sad when she heard these words.

She whispered, "The old couple said they couldn't find their son, so they attached great importance to Xiangxue's unborn child. They also said that Xiangxue was careless last time and lost the baby. They described it in such detail that An Ning couldn't help but believe it."

Hearing Shen Chuning say that the old couple's son was missing, Shen Jingwan sneered in her heart and became more convinced that this was a trap set by Shen Chuning.

Her eyes were red as she spoke, "Wan'er originally thought that sister hated mother, but it turns out that it's Wan'er she hates. That old couple said not only that the baby in Auntie's belly isn't the father's, but even the previous baby that couldn't be kept wasn't the father's either. Sister, are you planning on having that old couple say that Wan'er is actually their granddaughter?"

After Shen Jingwan finished speaking, she threw herself into Old Madam Shen's arms again, "Grandma, is it because of Wan'er's existence that so many troubles have arisen in our family, causing unrest in the house? It's all Wan'er's fault. Please open the ancestral hall and remove Wan'er from the family. Without Wan'er's existence, my sister's jealousy will be less, and then the whole family will only favor my sister."

Old Madam Shen gently stroked Shen Jingwan's hair, her eyes filled with pity, and said softly: "I am not deaf or blind, you are my child of the Shen family. Anyone who dares to slander you like this will be severely punished."

This sentence is both a comfort to Shen Jingwan and a warning to others.

When Shen Jingwan heard this, she felt secretly proud. She secretly glanced at Shen Chuning who was sitting next to her, and her eyes revealed a victorious attitude.

Madam Shen continued, "A Ning has been running out every day lately. She has learned not to distinguish right from wrong. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the house without my permission."

Her voice was stern and firm, making people afraid to disobey easily.

However, Shen Huaizhong said coldly, "A Ning is still young, so it's understandable that she doesn't know people well. Just be careful in the future. Putting her in solitary confinement directly is too harsh."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen immediately frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "I just wanted her to learn some more rules in the mansion and report to me when she goes out in Songhe Hall. How can that be considered confinement? Master, you are really exaggerating."

After hearing this, Shen Huaizhong glared at Madam Shen fiercely and said sternly, "You just need to rest and recuperate, and don't interfere too much in the affairs of the mansion. Now the second son's wife is in charge of the household affairs. If Xiaojiu wants to go out, just tell the second son's wife."

Hearing Shen Huaizhong's words, Shen Chuning felt extremely relieved.

On the other side, Madam Shen widened her eyes, her face full of shock.

She never expected that Shen Huaizhong would be so partial to Shen Chuning.

Mrs. Shen suddenly felt like something was stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Her eyes swept over everyone present and finally fell on Shen Huaizhong, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

This was the second time Shen Huaizhong had refuted her opinion in person today, which made her feel unprecedented humiliation and anger.

However, since her illness was fake, no words could be refuted at this moment.

But the most important thing now has been accomplished. As long as Wan'er comes back, I can find a way to cure my illness and slowly recover.

Finally, Shen Huaizhong stood up and said, "This concludes today's matter. There's no need to mention it again. Everyone, please go away and let your grandmother have a good rest."

His tone was firm and decisive, leaving no room for doubt.

Just as everyone was about to get up and leave,

The doorman came to report that the couple had come with their son to take Xiangxue home.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Jingwan's face turned pale instantly.

She clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she lowered her voice and asked Fuzi beside her, "Are you sure that He Er is dead?"

Shen Jingwan's heart was filled with regret. If only she could have taken a few more steps forward that day and seen He Er's body with her own eyes.

If I had really seen it, maybe I wouldn’t be so worried and scared now.

Fuzi lowered his head and replied softly, "Although the body has begun to rot, it is still recognizable as my uncle."

After hearing the news, Shen Jingwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, forced herself to calm down, and gave herself courage.

Then he said, "Sister, Grandfather said that this matter ends here. This old couple didn't throw dirty water on Aunt Xue, but instead found others to frame her. Let me tell you, Aunt Xue has behaved uprightly, no matter how many people come to slander her, it will be useless."

Old Madam Shen and Shen Qingjiang also looked at Shen Chuning reproachfully, telling her not to continue making trouble.

Shen Chuning adjusted her hair, a sneer on her lips as she responded, "Since you claim to be acting with integrity, why don't you let that family of three come in and explain things clearly? Otherwise, they'll be hanging around outside the mansion all day, which won't have a good influence. Besides, this will help them see the truth and stop them from pestering us."

If there was only one person, Xiangxue would be a little afraid that it was He Er.

If there were three people, she would not be afraid at all, because He Er's parents had died long ago.

Just when no one could make up their minds, Xiangxue said, "Master, Madam, please invite those three people in so that I can clear my name."
