You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

"No! Don't take my mother away!"

Shen Yanzhi appeared out of nowhere, surprising everyone present.

The sharp-eyed Xie Wanru spotted Shen Cong'an, who had not yet been admitted to the hospital.

Shen Yanzhi should be in the ancestral hall at this time.

To be honest, she was really glad that she and Shen Cong'an were not enemies, because this was something she hadn't thought of and hadn't told her about. She originally planned to use Shen Yanzhi's background to threaten Shen Nian'an when they got divorced later.

"Mother? This child's mother is this woman?"

Aunt Caiyun asked incredulously, "Shen Yanzhi's words are clear, and he's clearly targeting Fu Rou. Who wouldn't understand that?"

"Well, well, your Yong'an Marquis's mansion is really something! You actually secretly adopted the son of your mistress into our princess's name. No wonder you were in such a hurry to adopt him into our princess's family. No wonder you, Second Master Shen, took a fancy to a woman with a child. It turns out they are all your children. Now you've even secretly brought this mistress back to the mansion to have an affair with the princess. What do you take our princess for?"

Aunt Caiyun was truly furious. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

Fu Rou, who was kneeling, panicked immediately. She wanted to explain, but Shen Nian'an held her down. What was the use of explaining at this time? The more Fu Rou's presence was, the higher the possibility of her being beaten to death.

In a grand mansion, even if Fu Rou were beaten to death, no one would know.

Xie Wanru, who was beside her, naturally needed to cry, so Xie Wanru lost her usual domineering attitude and just kept crying.

"Aunt Caiyun, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Madam Shen wanted to explain, but Aunt Caiyun didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore and pulled Xie Wanru away.

I was originally planning to go back to Plum Garden, but the thought of Shen Nian'an and Fu Rou, that despicable couple, having just made love there made me feel nauseous.

"Auntie, please take me back to the Xie family."

Xie Wanru's tears were still wet, and she looked very pitiful.

"Mother……"

Shen Yanzhi suddenly realized that his impulsiveness had exposed his identity.

When Aunt Caiyun saw Shen Yanzhi looking at Xie Wanru, she was furious. This brat actually had the nerve to call Xie Wanru "mother".

“Young master, where is your mother? Our princess has no shame. She is not young enough to give birth to a child as big as you. Princess, let’s go back to the Xie family. We’re not staying in this Shen residence.”

Aunt Caiyun did not object.

Their actions terrified Old Madam Shen.

The ladies and young women at the banquet have all returned to their residences, but a small number of them witnessed the unsavory scene that had just unfolded. This matter can no longer be concealed, and if Xie Wanru returns to the Xie residence, things will truly spiral out of control.

Madam Shen was extremely anxious, but she could only force herself to remain calm and tried to persuade her to stay: "Wanru, what happened today was indeed the fault of our Shen family, but considering the long-standing friendship between our two families, why don't we sit down and discuss a solution? We must not act impulsively."

Xie Wanru looked at Madam Shen with teary eyes, a hint of hesitation in her expression.

Seeing this, Aunt Caiyun frowned. She knew that this matter was of great importance, but she could not allow Xie Wanru to be humiliated.

This matter has already blown up, and the Empress is determined to support Xie Wanru. If Xie Wanru continues to stay in the Shen family, she will have to swallow this humiliation and be controlled by the Shen family.

Now that Xie Wanru has returned to the Xie family, when she will return depends on the sincerity of the Shen family in apologizing.

"Madam, you are mistaken. Today's matter cannot be resolved by private discussions between the two families. My princess is innocent and must not be stigmatized. As for a solution, your family can think of one at your leisure. My princess is the victim, and she will not embarrass herself by arguing with you."

After saying that, Aunt Caiyun pulled Xie Wanru away, leaving Old Madam Shen and the rest of the Shen family standing there, looking at each other helplessly.

Shen Cong'an turned pale. He realized that today's events not only concerned his reputation, but could also drag the entire Shen family into an abyss of no return.

Xie Wanru was a princess, yet Shen Nian'an and Fu Rou were having an affair in her boudoir. This was no ordinary affair.

Furthermore, it is a fact that Shen Yanzhi's identity was exposed, and they concealed his identity and deceived Xie Wanru.

Just when everyone was in despair, Shen Yanzhi suddenly knelt down in front of Old Madam Shen, bursting into tears.

"Grandmother, please spare my mother and sister! They are innocent! Please don't kill my mother! Please don't..."

On the way back, someone told Shen Yanzhi that his identity had been exposed and that the Shen family might beat his mother to death to apologize to Xie Wanru.

He was indeed tempted, wanting to be Xie Wanru's son and enjoy being fawned over and respected, but he also didn't want to see his own mother beaten to death.

Madam Shen's heart clenched painfully as she looked at Shen Yanzhi and sighed repeatedly.

"Xie Wanru, my second brother never liked you. Now that you're gone, don't ever come back, haha."

Shen Nianqing encountered Xie Wanru with Aunt Caiyun by the lake. She had long hoped that Xie Wanru would get out of the Shen family, and was now gloating.

Even if her second brother made a mistake, so what? In her opinion, Xie Wanru had no children, so her second brother could have divorced her anyway.

This time, before Xie Wanru could even speak, Caiyun sneered and looked at Shen Nianqing.

"Who did I think it was? It's Miss Shen."

Aunt Caiyun shielded Xie Wanru behind her.

"It seems that Madam Shen is not very good at raising children. There is a philandering dog inside, and there is a howling pig outside. I will discipline her properly today, so that the pig's squeals will not leave the Shen mansion and cause embarrassment."

Aunt Caiyun beckoned, and the sisters who had come out of the palace with her grabbed Shen Nianqing.

"Twenty slaps in the face. The reason? To talk back to the princess and not know the rules."

After saying that, Aunt Caiyun stopped looking at her.

The sound of slapping echoed as Xie Wanru turned around to see Shen Nianqing being held up by two old women, and then being slapped by a third person.

Aunt Caiyun didn't bring so many people with her when she came out. This person was specially sent by the Empress after the incident to serve her and to avenge Xie Wanru.

"Xie Wanru, how dare you let this old hag hit me!"

Shen Nianqing shouted. In her opinion, Xie Wanru could hit her because Xie Wanru's status was higher than hers, but what right did this so-called aunt have?

"Aunt Caiyun is being too kind of you, let me do it!"

Dongzhu had been suppressing her anger for a long time, still wondering why her mistress hadn't killed those two bastards. She was getting impatient even though she hadn't made a move yet.

Since someone has come knocking on her door, she can't blame them.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of a slap made Xie Wanru feel much better.

She had never loved Shen Nian'an, so when she saw him having an affair with Fu Rou, she felt no sadness whatsoever. She only mocked herself for her past life, for being so foolish and unaware of her own sincerity towards him.

When Marquis Yong'an returned from court, he found the Shen residence in complete disarray.

Needless to say, Shen Cong'an's eldest son, he kept quiet, claiming that his leg was still sore and hadn't fully recovered. He was just there to watch the show and was hoping to invite two storytellers to make things even bigger.

Needless to say, Shen Nian'an was the instigator of this whole affair, more trouble than he was worth.

Shen Nianqing's face was swollen like a pig's head. When asked, it was said that it was Aunt Caiyun from the palace who had beaten her. Even the Marquis of Yong'an was stunned by this name.
