Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

The noise gradually faded away, and the once bustling Shen family mansion returned to tranquility. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard, as if whispering about the thrilling scene that had just unfolded.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the flagstone ground. A faint smell of blood filled the air, a mark left by a battle, a testament to the fierce fighting that had taken place here.

Shen Shenxing slowly walked to the main seat and sat down. His face was heavy and his brows showed a hint of fatigue.

Shen Yunxi, Shen Ruoning, and Shen Ruoyu stood quietly beside him, waiting for his instructions.

After a moment of silence, Shen Shenxing raised his head, glanced at everyone, and slowly said, "You may all leave. I have something to say to Yunxi alone."

"Grandpa!" Shen Wanqing shouted sharply, "She's not Shen Yunxi! Shen Yunxi is a good-for-nothing..."

"Shut up!" Shen Shenxing slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, and he shouted sternly, "Wanqing, you've gone too far! She's your cousin, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, how dare you slander her like this! Yunxi's identity is beyond question. If you dare to spout nonsense again and defame her identity and bloodline, you'll be kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights to reflect on your actions!"

He pointed at Shen Wanqing, his finger trembling slightly, clearly very angry.

"Also, you're not allowed to call her 'good-for-nothing' anymore. What right do you have to call her that? Remember this, she's your older sister, you need to know how to respect her!"

He took a deep breath and said, "Yan Ting, take Wan Qing away and discipline her properly!"

Shen Yanting and Qin Suxin looked at each other, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent and could only leave with Shen Wanqing!

After everyone had left, Shen Shenxing held Shen Yunxi's hand and said with heartache, "Xi'er, you've suffered so much these past years!"

"Grandpa, I'm fine!" Shen Yunxi patted Shen Shenxing's hand and gently comforted him.

"Can you tell Grandpa what exactly happened back then?" After hesitating for a moment, Shen Shenxing finally asked.

"Shen Wanqing wanted to kill me!" Shen Yunxi said in a very indifferent tone, as if she were talking about something unimportant.

"What!" Shen Shenxing jumped up from his chair, his aged face filled with shock. His eyes widened. Although he had guessed something from Shen Wanqing's words and Shen Yunxi's behavior, hearing Shen Yunxi confirm it with his own ears still sent shockwaves through his heart. He grabbed Shen Yunxi's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Wanqing, why did she do this?"

In his memory, Shen Wanqing and Shen Yunxi were inseparable when they were young, as close as sisters. Later, Shen Yunxi's father disappeared, leaving her all alone. Shen Shenxing felt very sorry for his young granddaughter who had lost her support, so he decided to place her in the care of his second son, Shen Yanting, hoping that Shen Yanting and his wife could give her the fatherly and motherly love she lacked and let her grow up healthy and happy.

Although Shen Wanqing was spoiled since childhood, Shen Yunxi doted on her younger sister who was only a month younger than her. Whenever she had something good, she would think of her first!

Therefore, Shen Wanqing was also very nice to Shen Yunxi, but within the Shen family, she was only willing to play with Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi met Shen Shenxing's somewhat suspicious gaze and continued, "Phoenix Root Spirit Bone!"
