When Shen Shuyi arrived, he heard Shen Jingan's words trying to excuse himself, and he felt so angry that his heart was blocked.

He is really as shameless as Qin Xuerong!

He had clearly bullied his brother in every way, yet he could say such shameless words without batting an eyelid.

Shen Shuyi just felt that his thickness was far from enough compared to that of their mother and son.

The shabby door was pushed open from the outside. A few people turned their heads and saw Shen Shuyi, wearing a goose yellow skirt, with a simple bun and covered in moonlight, striding in.

The moment she saw Shen Shuyi, a hint of annoyance and anger flashed across Qin Xuerong's eyes.

Why did Shen Shuyi come just now!

What exactly did Qiu Shui and Dong Yue do? Why was Shen Shuyi not here, but Ang'er was here!

When she thought of this, Qin Xuerong felt a blockage in her heart and was extremely angry.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Shen Jingchuan's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi. Thinking of Qin Xuerong's words, he couldn't help but frowned and said angrily: "What are you doing here? You two don't take me seriously, right? Who asked you to come to Shuhanyuan!"

Seeing that the anger was transferred to Shen Shuyi, Qin Xuerong breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ahem…Shuyi came here with me!”

As soon as Shen Jingchuan finished speaking, a deep voice sounded behind him. Shen Shuyi quickly stepped aside and walked in with Madam Shen: "Grandma, be careful."

Seeing Old Madam Shen, Shen Jingchuan was stunned for a few seconds, and quickly said: "It's late at night, why did mother come here in person?"

Old Madam Shen first looked around the room. Without saying anything else, she said that the environment in the room was too simple and dirty. Even though they had given up on Shen Shuhan long ago, when she saw this scene, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and frowned tightly.

Aunt Qiulian explained, "The old lady kept coughing after nightfall, and she was not sleeping well. Then she heard some noises coming from here, and heard people say that the master and the mistress were there, so she was worried and came to check on her."

Hearing this, Qin Xuerong almost bit her teeth to pieces, her mind racing.

Madam Shen said again, "Sister Yi was originally accompanying me in Jing'an Courtyard. She heard that something happened in Shuhan Courtyard and was worried. When she saw me coming, she took the initiative to ask me to come and see. I had no intention of disobeying you."

Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan was speechless for a long time. Just now, Shen Shuyi pushed the door open first, and he never thought that she would have gotten her mother's consent.

Shen Shuyi's eyes turned red, and she looked at Shen Jingchuan and said, "It's normal for Dad to misunderstand me. After all, we haven't been father and daughter for many years, so it's inevitable that Dad will trust others instead of me."

These soft and gentle words, with a hint of grievance and resentment, immediately made Shen Jingchuan blush.

That’s right, when he saw Shen Shuyi, didn’t he remember what Qin Xuerong said before that she had hired a doctor and sneaked into Shuhanyuan secretly, and that’s why he got angry?

The next moment, Shen Shuyi said, "But I admit that I really can't let go of my brother. Seeing my second brother talking and talking at the family dinner tonight, I couldn't help but think of my eldest brother. I don't understand why my father didn't allow me to come."

Shen Jingchuan was embarrassed by the question and could only answer, "Since your elder brother was injured, he has been insane and often hurts people for no reason. I am afraid that he might hurt you by mistake and cause trouble, which would spread out and become a laughing stock in the Shen family."

Shen Shuyi never looked at the embarrassed Shen Shuhan, even though she could sense that in this darkness and chaos, there was a clear and gentle pair of eyes always watching her.

Her almond eyes were clear and puzzled. She looked directly at Shen Jingchuan and said stubbornly, "Daddy said he was worried that Big Brother would lose control and hurt someone. But Big Brother's limbs are disabled and he can't even take care of himself. How could he hurt someone?"

This one sentence choked Shen Jingchuan so much that he was speechless.

Old Madam Shen tried to smooth things over: "Sister Yi, your father has his reasons for not letting you come, and he has his own difficulties. Don't blame him, you will understand in the future. He is doing this for your own good, and for the good of the Shen family."

Shen Shuyi nodded obediently: "I believe grandma, but I still don't understand what my elder brother did wrong to be treated like this? No matter what, my elder brother is the blood of the Shen family, why is it like this?"

Shen Shuyi's voice was clear and crisp, and every word seemed to be a question to Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen's hearts.

This time, Old Madam Shen set her eyes on Shen Shuhan lying on the ground. Looking at her grandson who looked haggard and even worse than herself, Old Madam Shen felt a pain in her heart.

Shen Shuhan had indeed made a mistake and was indeed confined to his house. He had indeed become a useless person and could no longer bring glory to the Shen family. But even so, he would not have ended up like this.

Without waiting for Shen Jingchuan and Old Madam Shen to say anything, Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on Shen Jing'an again and he said bluntly, "Just now outside the door, I heard that the second brother attacked the eldest brother because he was angry at him for not fighting back. Is it for the eldest brother to cheer up again?"

Seeing the fire burning on him again, Shen Jingan said seriously: "Indeed, but no matter what, I really shouldn't have hit my brother. I was just angry for a moment, and I hope my father will punish me."

Shen Jing'an took the initiative to admit his guilt and accepted the punishment, lowering his head slightly with a look of self-blame, which really softened Shen Jingchuan's heart.

"No matter what, you shouldn't hit your elder brother! You simply don't know the rules and are lawless!" Shen Jingchuan said with a sullen face.

Qin Xuerong said quickly: "That's right, Jingchuan, I know you have always had a good relationship with your elder brother, but even if you are worried about your elder brother, you shouldn't be like this."

Shen Jing'an wiped the corners of his eyes, which were not filled with tears, and choked up, "It's my son's fault. I drank a few more cups today, and couldn't help but think of my elder brother's romantic appearance when he was reciting poems and writing couplets. That's why I got confused."

Seeing that the two of them were singing the same tune and were about to brush the matter aside, Shen Shuyi was not willing to accept that.

He immediately said, "Second brother keeps saying he's worried about big brother, he wants to persuade big brother to cheer up, but doesn't second brother realize that big brother is on the verge of death, barely breathing? How can second brother bear to kill big brother when he looks like this?"

Hearing this, Old Madam Shen and Shen Jingchuan's eyes fell on Shen Shuhan, and their brows were tightly furrowed.

The light in the room was dim and it was hard to see clearly at first, but as Shen Shuyi pushed open the door, the whole room became much brighter.

Therefore, under the moonlight, it was clear enough to see how bad Shen Shuhan's condition was.

Shen Shuyi's eyes were wet, and she whispered, "Brother, the wound on your head looks fresh, and the footprints on your clothes and face also seem to have been left recently. I don't understand, how can second brother be so anxious and angry that he would step on big brother's face? How diligent and studious must he be to force big brother to write a poem in this situation?"

"Could it be that in the eyes of the second brother, the eldest brother's poems are more important than his life?"
