Shen Wanwan looked at Su Liujuan steadily, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"Mrs. Shen, do you know that I only took action that day at the request of your eldest son and daughter? If you don't believe me, you can find them and confront them face to face."

"How could we confront them face to face when so many servants saw us? Besides, Shu'er has already accompanied your grandmother to the Jokhang Temple to pray. If we really want to confront them face to face, we have to wait until they come back.

"Until they return, you can only kneel in the ancestral hall. No one can release you without my permission."

"Oh, what if I don't agree?"

"Don't agree? Don't even think about seeing that Chuntao girl again!"

Shen Wanwan's expression remained unchanged, but her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched slightly. "Madam Shen is really good at using the maidservant beside me to threaten you."

Now, in the entire prime minister's mansion, the only person she really cares about is Chuntao. It must be said that the other party really grasped the key point.

"You'd better beg Chuntao to be okay, otherwise, if she loses a hair, it will be multiplied tenfold on you!"

"you!"

Su Liujuan was so angry that she was shaking. "You are such an ungrateful person! I have raised you for fifteen years, but your position in your heart is not as high as that of a lowly maidservant beside you?"

"Mrs. Shen, why do you have to humiliate yourself? Have you really forgotten why you adopted me back then?"

Su Liujuan was shocked, "You, you know everything?"

"Even if we did have some ulterior motive when we adopted you, it's also true that we've taken such good care of you and shown such utmost concern for you over the past fifteen years..."

"Mrs. Shen, have you forgotten how your Shen family tortured me in the past year? Mrs. Shen has forgotten, but I have not forgotten a single thing.

"Ever since Shen Wanshu recognized you, you've retracted your previous pretense and replaced it with punishments like kneeling in the ancestral hall and being punished by family rules.

"She fell in love with the Phoenix Bloodshed Hairpin that Lin Ziye gave me. You asked me to give it to her, and I agreed. But she reached out to catch it and it fell to the ground. You said I was petty and punished me by not allowing me to have dinner.

"Her pet dog died, and you said I killed it, so you made me kneel in the ancestral hall and didn't give me any food or water for three days and three nights.

"She was allergic to sweet soup with peanuts in it, and you said I did it on purpose, so you punished me by making me kneel in the yard in the rain.

"She accidentally fell into the water, and you indiscriminately gave me ten lashes, and then made me kneel in the ancestral hall. That time, I almost didn't make it. I'm lucky to be able to stand now."

"Mrs. Shen, each and every one of these things is a testament to the meticulous care and concern your family has shown me."

Su Liujuan was speechless, her face turning red and white.

"Even so, our Shen family's kindness in raising you..."

"As for the grace of raising me, you had several headaches and I stayed by your bedside without taking off my clothes.

"Prime Minister Shen's old illness recurred, and I worked tirelessly day and night to develop a cure and personally prepared the medicine for him.

"Shen Yihan fell off his horse and his life was hanging by a thread. Many doctors sentenced him to death, but I never gave up and pulled him back from the brink of death.

"When Shen Yifei was abducted and imprisoned in a stone chamber on Bijia Mountain, I arrived in time to save his life. This is more than enough to offset the kindness you showed me in raising me."

Shen Wanwan stepped forward and said, "I've lived in your Shen family for fifteen years. For the first fourteen years, you've truly been incredibly caring towards me. If not, how could I have endured this much in silence over the past year?"

"If you, the Shen family, hadn't come to provoke me, I would have been willing to settle the feud between you, but you should never have used Chun Tao to threaten me."
