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

"Give my son back to me..." Mrs. Shen San pulled Shen Chuning's sleeve and cried.

Shen Chuning suddenly shook off Madam Shen San's hand and said in disgust, "Aunt San, are you crazy? Where do you think you have a son?"

Madam Shen's face was grim, her eyes flashing with madness. She cursed viciously while beating Shen Chuning hard. "The son in Xiangxue's belly is my son. Wan'er worked so hard to pray for him at the ancestral temple! He was born in Xiangxue's belly to save me the pain of ten months of pregnancy, and now you, a little bitch, have schemed against him!"

Shen Chuning: "..."

Her mother is really soft-hearted. She used to believe whatever Ziyuan said, but now she believes whatever Shen Jingwan says.

Not only did her own mother believe such outrageous words, she even used them as evidence to question her.

Shen Chuning took a deep breath. "Didn't Third Aunt hear what the doctor said? Aunt Xue only took special medicine to make her pulse look like she was pregnant, but she wasn't. All of this was set up by Grandmother just to bring Shen Jingwan back from the ancestral temple."

Her voice was filled with fatigue and helplessness, hoping to wake Mrs. Shen San up.

However, Mrs. Shen San seemed to be completely immersed in her own fantasy and could not listen to Shen Chuning's explanation at all.

She spat softly, her face filled with anger as she cursed, "Don't be so alarmist here! You clearly hired that doctor, so naturally he'll say whatever you want him to say. You little bitch, you just hold a grudge against our third branch and want to end my family lineage!"

Shen Chuning sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and sneered: "Am I the one who wants to end your lineage, or is it Third Uncle and Grandmother who want to end your lineage?"

Shen Chuning pressed on, her eyes sharp as a knife. She slowly said, "Do you know why you haven't been able to get pregnant in all these years?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Shen Chuning's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile as she spoke word by word, "Because the medicine your grandmother gave you every day to regulate your body was actually all contraceptive soup. And the so-called Master Ziyuan that your third uncle invited back also gave you medicines that were all extremely cold. And Shen Jingwan said she would spare you the pain of pregnancy for ten months, but in fact, your body has long been broken down by all these medicines. Even if you really want to have a child now, I'm afraid you can't do anything."

Madam Shen San was forced to retreat repeatedly under the pressure of Shen Chuning's words. Her face was as pale as snow. She kept shaking her head, her eyes full of disbelief, and she muttered to herself: "How is it possible... I am the legal wife of the third house. Only the son I gave birth to is the legitimate son. Why do they treat me like this..."

Shen Chuning looked at the person in front of her whom she once regarded as her closest, and an indescribable feeling of pity welled up in her heart.

She still remembered that when she was in the third room, she was asked whether she valued the status of wife or son more.

At that time, she said that only the status of the legal wife could protect her daughter, and it didn't matter whether she had a son or not.

Shen Chuning believed it at the time, and even made an elaborate plan to help her consolidate her position. She drove Ziyuan away and searched everywhere for the miracle doctor in the Miracle Doctor Valley.

But now it seems that everything is just a ridiculous farce.

"Why?" Shen Chuning raised a sarcastic smile, "Of course it's for Shen Jingwan's status. Didn't I tell you long ago that if Aunt Xue gave birth to the eldest son first, she would have a chance to become a co-wife, and once you gave birth to a son, Shen Jingwan would have to be a concubine forever. Who knew you would be so stupid and couldn't wait to register Shen Jingwan under your name. Now you have ended up like this, isn't it your own fault?"

Madam Shen San continued to shake her head desperately, as if unable to accept this fact, muttering to herself, "I don't believe it! Wan'er couldn't possibly harm me! She's destined to have a brotherly bond and could help me give birth to a son. You must be jealous of Wan'er, so you framed her."

Shen Chuning looked at the stubborn Mrs. Shen San in front of her and couldn't help feeling helpless.

Sometimes she really wanted to knock open Mrs. Shen's head to see what kind of thoughts were inside.

After all, the third branch did not bear the responsibility of inheriting the family line, and the first and second branches already had enough sons, so the elders in the family did not force the third branch to continue to have more offspring.

Although Shen Qingjiang was not ambitious, he gained more favor from the old lady because of his similar face to the old lady.

As long as Mrs. Shen San could coax Mrs. Shen a little, she could live a comfortable life in her own yard.

However, she ruined such a good life.

Shen Chuning said coldly: "Since you trust Shen Jingwan so much, why not go with her to the ancestral temple and see if she can really help you get pregnant and have a child."

After saying this, she turned around and left resolutely without looking back.

Mrs. Shen was left alone, swaying in the wind, almost unable to stand.

Before Shen Chuning walked back to her Ningfengzhai, a little maid ran over hurriedly and said that Shen Jingwan wanted to see her.

Bi Rui scolded the maid unhappily, "If Miss Wan wants to see my young lady, just let her come and see her herself. Why should we let our young lady go to see her?"

The little maid stammered, "I'm afraid... Miss Wan... I'm afraid she can't come. After Miss Wan left Songhe Hall, the Fifth Young Master arranged for someone to carry her to the main gate and not allow her to enter the Shen Mansion again."

Shen Chuning burst out laughing and said to Birui, "She's just a messenger. Don't be mean to her. Let's just go to the door."

After saying that, she walked towards the door.

Along the way, the smile on Shen Chuning's face never disappeared.

Bi Rui followed her and asked in confusion, "Didn't the old lady tell Miss Wan to go back and pack before leaving? Why is the Fifth Young Master so anxious that he took Miss Wan straight to the door?"

Shen Chuning smiled and said, "Fifth brother is holding a grudge. Who told her to complain about him to grandmother?"

The little maid also echoed, "Fifth Young Master said that he was worried that Miss Wan would return to the Third House and take away things that did not belong to her."

Birui secretly clicked her tongue and thought to herself that she must never offend the Fifth Young Master in the future.

When she reached the door, Shen Chuning was amused by the scene in front of her again.

Two strong women were seen escorting Shen Jingwan like a prisoner, but Shen Jingwan had no intention of resisting and let them escort her.

Shen Chuning couldn't help but walk to Shen Chengwu curiously and asked in a low voice: "Why is she so obedient?"

Shen Chengwu coughed lightly and replied, "After being beaten many times, he naturally became obedient."

Shen Chuning: "..."

She waved her hand and said to the two women, "Let her go. She can't get away."

The two old women looked at Shen Chengwu, as if waiting for his instructions.

Seeing Shen Chengwu nodded, the two men let go of their hands, but still stood not far away to prevent Shen Jingwan from escaping.

Shen Chuning looked at Shen Jingwan and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
