Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Seeing the person approaching her, Shen Qingyao's eyes were filled with disgust.

“Sister, how could you frame Miss Yang? I saw it clearly from the side. You fell down on your own. Miss Yang didn’t push you at all.”

"Our parents have always taught us to be honest and not to falsely accuse others. A single sentence from you can ruin someone's life. Sister, how could you knowingly do such a thing?"

Because of Shen Yuanyuan's words, the atmosphere instantly shifted, and everyone's gaze towards Shen Qingyao changed. However, due to Si Jingnian's presence, their discussions were kept quiet.

Seeing this, Shen Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel gloating, but on the surface she still looked heartbroken.

Yang Qianlin was surprised that the Shen family would stand up to testify for her, and the sudden change in the wind made her overjoyed.

"Brother, Brother Jingnian, I told you Shen Qingyao framed me! Shen Yuanyuan is a member of the Shen family, she testified, isn't that enough to prove my innocence?"

Yang Qianlin pouted and acted coquettishly towards Yang Qianyu and Si Jingnian, wiping away tears in front of them in a pitiful manner.

Yang Qianyu was momentarily undecided, unsure of whom to believe.

He had always known his sister's arrogant and domineering personality, so he couldn't believe she was completely innocent.

However, with Shen Yuanyuan's testimony and his younger sister's behavior, he didn't believe that Shen Qingyao was really as innocent as she appeared.

"Yang Qianlin, those of you here should know a little about what kind of person you are. How many people have you bullied? Do you think I'll believe you or my wife?"

Si Jingnian spoke in a calm tone and his attitude was distant. Yang Qianlin, who had grown up following him and Yang Qianyu since childhood, immediately realized that he was angry.

"I……"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Yang Qianlin lowered her head, not daring to look Si Jingnian in the eye.

Seeing Si Jingnian so protective of Shen Qingyao, Shen Yuanyuan looked resentful. She had even stood up to testify, yet Shen Qingyao was still completely unharmed.

“Young Marshal, I can testify that it was indeed my sister Shen Qingyao who deliberately framed Miss Yang. I am Shen Qingyao’s older sister, what reason do I have to protect Miss Yang?”

"Who do you think you are to Shen Qingyao? I have no idea when the Shen family had two daughters. Since Shen Qingyao is the Shen family's biological daughter, then you are nothing more than the Shen family's adopted daughter."

As soon as Shen Yuanyuan finished speaking, someone in the crowd spoke up in rebuttal, and everyone tacitly made way for her.

Meng Shuqin walked up to Shen Yuanyuan angrily and slapped her hard across the face.

"As far as I know, you, Shen Yuanyuan, and my daughter-in-law, Shen Qingyao, have always been at odds. Ever since she returned to the Shen family, you have repeatedly caused trouble and framed her, leading to her estrangement from her parents. What qualifications do you have to testify?"

“My daughter-in-law’s return to the Shen family directly affects your status as her adopted daughter. You can’t wait to get rid of her, so of course you won’t let go of any opportunity to target her.”

Shen Yuanyuan was caught off guard and covered her face, looking at Meng Shuqin in disbelief.

She couldn't understand why Si Jingnian was protecting Shen Qingyao, but even his mother was protecting Shen Qingyao. Isn't it said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies?

Shen Qingyao didn't expect Meng Shuqin to be so decisive, slapping Shen Yuanyuan as soon as she came over, and knowing so much about her and the Shen family's affairs.

"mom……"

"Ayao, are you alright? Don't worry, with Mom and Jingnian here, no one can bully you. Anyone who dares to bully you is going against our Young Marshal's Mansion!"

Meng Shuqin's words made those who had just been discussing Shen Qingyao shrink back.

Shen Yuanyuan was shocked that Meng Shuqin would bring up her background in public and insult her like that. She swayed slightly, her face full of embarrassment.

Meng Shuqin's gaze fell on Yang Qianlin, whose eyes looked guilty and dared not meet her eyes directly.

"Qianlin, tell me yourself, what exactly happened?"

Yang Qianlin, who was called out, trembled and almost cried, her previous arrogant demeanor completely gone.

"Auntie, I..."

"to be honest."

As soon as Yang Qianlin rolled her eyes, Meng Shuqin knew what she wanted to say. She had watched this child grow up since she was a child, and she knew her too well.

She's guileless, but loves to stir up trouble. To put it nicely, she's innocent and passionate; to put it bluntly, she's stupid and loves to cause trouble.

It's one thing for her to bully and make things difficult for others in the past, and as an outsider, she has no right to interfere. But now she's actually bullying her own daughter-in-law. She's not going to pretend to be blind anymore.

Meng Shuqin's sharp gaze made Yang Qianlin want to run away, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Yang Qianyu couldn't bear it in the end, so he sighed and stepped forward.

“Auntie, Xiaolin was being unreasonable this time. I apologize to your sister-in-law on her behalf.”

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry! Please forgive her and don't hold it against her. I'll treat you and Jingnian to dinner another day."

Yang Qianyu's attitude was sincere, and he was also Si Jingnian's brother, so Shen Qingyao couldn't continue to press the matter.

Moreover, she could tell from the faces of Yang Qianyu and Yang Qianlin that neither of them was inherently bad.

Although Yang Qianlin is willful, she also has a kind side. However, she is spoiled by her family and has become somewhat domineering, acting entirely according to her own temper.

There's no need for Shen Qingyao to have a serious falling out with someone like that.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao's complexion had improved, Yang Qianyu felt relieved and immediately pulled Yang Qianlin away.

Yang Qianlin was dragged away with a wronged expression, and as she left, she turned her head and looked at Shen Qingyao with a face full of resentment.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyao was in a great mood and even raised her eyebrows at Yang Qianlin, revealing a smug expression.

This made Yang Qianlin so angry that she cried, sobbing as she walked away.

"naughty!"

Si Jingnian was well aware of Shen Qingyao's little tricks, and with a helpless expression, he gently tapped her head, which earned him a glare from Meng Shuqin.

Seeing that Si Jingnian had seen through her little trick, Shen Qingyao smiled awkwardly.

"Qianlin is spoiled by her family, but she's not a bad person at heart."

Si Jingnian spoke softly, and Shen Qingyao glanced at him with interest, her eyes filled with gossip.

“I know that, judging from her appearance, although she is flamboyant and domineering, she has done a lot of good deeds and has some merit on her body.”

"What? Afraid I'll misunderstand her and punish her? Who knew Young Marshal Si could be so chivalrous? You're in trouble, you've fallen into the trap of love!"

Shen Qingyao grinned mischievously. Si Jingnian's expression changed drastically, and he was about to explain when she turned and left with a strange smirk.

"Son, you're usually so smart, why are you being so... so docile right now?"

Meng Shuqin couldn't bear to scold her precious son for being stupid, so after some consideration, she chose a more tactful way of saying it.

Si Jingnian opened his mouth as if to say something, but Meng Shuqin shook her head and walked away, leaving Si Jingnian standing there feeling increasingly frustrated.
