Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

After paying respects to the old master and the old lady, Shen Li paid respects to the general, and then to Mrs. Lan.

The Fang family had few members. The old man had been on the march for many years, and the mansion was entirely managed by the old lady. In addition, she felt guilty about losing her daughter, so naturally she refused to take a concubine. She only had one son, the general.

The general was the same. He had been accustomed to seeing his parents living in harmony and love since he was a child. As a man of war, his mind was entirely focused on fighting, and he didn't like having a concubine at home to create chaos.

Even now, despite holding the rank of Second-Rank General of the Cavalry, he still only had one legitimate wife, Lan. The couple had two sons and one daughter, but he had banished both sons to the border, leaving only one daughter to care for him.

So as soon as Shen Li finished paying her respects to the Lan family, the old lady ordered someone to help her up.

"Good boy, get up quickly and come to grandma."

Shen Li walked forward slowly.

The old lady in front of him could vaguely see her good looks when she was young. It must be said that she really looked like his mother. Shen Li knew at a glance that the recognition was correct.

She really has an uncle who is a general.

Taking the scroll handed over by Zi Su, Shen Li held it in both hands and said to the old lady: "Grandma, these are some portraits left by my mother. Please take a look."

This is a necessary step in the recognition process. In addition to the portrait, she also has to tell her mother about the birthmark on her body and the inhuman life her mother has lived over the years.

In the room, everyone was listening to Shen Li.

When talking about their mother being framed for being unfaithful to her husband, the old man and the general's faces turned pale. The bloodiness cultivated by many years of military career suddenly erupted, and the thorns on their bodies stood up.

When she talked about her mother who had been crazy for ten years, not knowing hunger or cold, and finally fell into the water and never came out, the old lady cried bitterly, calling out "my son" over and over again, and almost died.

Lan cried and cursed: "Beast, bastard, my poor sister, wuwuwu, these beasts of the Shen family shall not die a good death."

Only a few of Gao Ma's close maids were left, and they tried to persuade one person and another.

Finally, Grandma Gao said, "I have something to say. Since the Shen family is so unbearable, let your cousin come and live with us. Your cousin has been away from the capital for many years, and the Shen family has no affection for her. Instead, they make things difficult for her at every turn. If she goes back, I'm afraid she will be in great danger. What if they succeed..."

Just think about what happened to Shen Li’s mother and you’ll understand.

When the old lady heard this, she quickly took Shen Li's hand, wiped her tears and said, "Li'er, just live at home and don't go back. Your uncle and aunt are both good people. They will treat you well, as well as your sister..."

"Cousin, please stay. This is your home. I will listen to you and treat you well." Ming Wan hurriedly squeezed forward, her eyes red, staring at Shen Li eagerly.

She is the only child in the family and she really wants to have a sister to keep her company.

She fell in love with her cousin at first sight at the door.

"Yes, Li'er, this is your home, and you are the master of this home. If you stay, you will be our legitimate daughter just like Wan'er. Everyone here respects you, and no one dares to neglect you. Let's not go back to that heartless beast's den, okay?" Lan also came forward and took Shen Li's hand, fearing that she would not agree.

The old man and the general also wanted to speak, but were interrupted by Shen Li.

"Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, listen to me," Shen Li stood up from the chair, bowed to them, and said slowly: "On my way back to Beijing from Mizhou, Madam Li sent by Zhao added cinnabar to my food."

"This bunch of bastards are so crazy." Lan was a hot-tempered person and started cursing before the words even finished being heard.

"When I was six years old, I was powerless when they framed my mother. They thought they had done it perfectly, but little did they know that I remember it clearly and never dared to forget it for a single day. This time, I returned to the capital to avenge my mother. If I don't do this, Li'er won't be able to sleep peacefully for a single day."

"They poisoned me because they wanted to drive me crazy. They were afraid I would recognize my uncle and that he would find out about how they bullied Mother. That shows how worried they are. If I came to live with my uncle, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

"My mother gave everything she had to help them live a life of luxury, but they trampled on my flesh and blood and lost themselves in it. Now that I'm back, their good days are over."

"My stay at the Shen Mansion is like a thorn in their hearts. They want to pull it out but can't, and if they don't, they will feel uneasy every day. I threw away all the cinnabar and food on the way back. The maid and I pretended to be poisoned so that they would think they had succeeded."

"Yesterday, my girl and I went on a rampage in the Shen family's backyard. They were angry, but they also felt that I was clearly poisoned and that I wouldn't be able to explain it to my uncles if I came back today. That's why they let me come alone and didn't send anyone with me."

"In that case, why don't we just pretend to be clueless and let them think that my uncle knows nothing and that the poisoning was successful? Let's just keep doing it. I still have to go back before 3 p.m. today. I only stayed there for one night and caused a scene. Revenge is still a long way off. Li'er is still waiting for the Shen family to fall, and I don't want them to get away with it like this."

After these words were spoken, silence fell in the room for a moment.

Lan was the first to shout, "My mother, my dear Li'er, father, mother, husband, our family is blessed. This child turns out to be very smart."

Shen Li couldn't help but laugh, "Did Aunt also hear about what happened yesterday? Is she also worried that Li'er really has mania?"

"Who says it's not true?" Lan said quickly, "That's what the Shen family said. They came out and spread it everywhere that day, saying that you took after your mother."

She slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my God, they did it on purpose. They are trying to find an excuse for your mother's madness, making people think it was something she had from the womb."

An expression of sudden realization, a belated realization.

The old lady looked at Shen Li with a sad expression, her heart and eyes full of reluctance.

"My child, it took a lot of effort for me to find you. There are many ways to avenge your mother. We can take our time to choose. Don't go back. The Shen family is not a good place. I am worried about you, a girl, living there. If anything happens to you again, I will die with you."

The old lady had shallow eye sockets. As she grew older, she missed her lost little daughter more and more. She cried countless times since she found out her daughter was gone.

Seeing Shen Li today was like seeing my grown-up daughter. I didn't know how to make it up to her, but then I heard Shen Li say that she couldn't live with me and had to go back to such a dangerous place.

How could I be willing to do that?

I just wish I could hold her in my arms quickly and protect her so that she won't be hurt again.
