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

Shen Qingyao's provocation almost completely drove Shen Yuanyuan to madness. If it weren't for her injury and confined to a wheelchair, Shen Qingyao had no doubt that she would have come over and strangled her.

"Why are you so agitated? Am I wrong? You're a usurper, an imposter."

Shen Yuanyuan was furious, and her voice couldn't help but get much louder.

"Shen Qingyao, you bitch! All of this should have belonged to me. Who told you that my biological parents were not respectable? Who told you that my family was poor?"

"Let me tell you, my biological mother is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Liu Shuyi. You know absolutely nothing about her!"

Shen Yuanyuan screamed at Shen Qingyao, her hands glaring angrily at the wheelchair, her eyes seeming to spit fire.

"Shen Qingyao, you bitch! Let me tell you, I am the daughter of the Shen family, and you should die out there and never come back!"

Shen Qingyao calmly watched Shen Yuanyuan break down and shout. The more nonchalant she was, the angrier Shen Yuanyuan became, and the more she wanted to strangle her immediately.

Just then, Liu Shuyi appeared outside the ward and overheard Shen Yuanyuan's screams and curses against Shen Qingyao.

"Mrs. Shen, our mistress has instructed that we do not see any members of the Shen family. Please leave!"

The soldier's voice came from the doorway. Upon hearing it, Shen Yuanyuan instantly calmed down, realizing that Liu Shuyi had likely overheard her words. Shen Yuanyuan's face turned pale instantly.

Shen Qingyao was surprised by this unexpected joy, and her smile became even more pronounced, with obvious schadenfreude in her eyes.

"Oh dear! Shen Yuanyuan, so you've always hated me this much? So you've been putting on an act all along? Pretending to welcome me back to the Shen family, while secretly framing me. You're simply... you're so vicious!"

Shen Qingyao raised her voice and shouted towards the door, her tone sounding sad and heartbroken, but there wasn't a trace of sadness on her face.

She didn't care whether Liu Shuyi could see through Shen Yuanyuan's true colors, but if she could make Shen Yuanyuan feel afraid, she wouldn't mind putting on an act.

This is a good opportunity for Shen Yuanyuan to experience the feeling of being unable to explain herself. Besides, she didn't frame Shen Yuanyuan; every word she said was her own initiative.

It was obvious that Shen Yuanyuan had also figured out Shen Qingyao's purpose, and her face turned very ugly, and she looked very flustered.

"Shen Qingyao, you framed me!"

Shen Qingyao shrugged and spread her hands, looking smug.

"Let Mrs. Shen in!"

She originally didn't want to see Liu Shuyi, but now she's changed her mind.

Although she couldn't do anything to the Shen family herself, she didn't mind watching a drama unfold where the mother and daughter, who used to have the best relationship, turned against each other.

Perhaps just hearing these things wouldn't be enough for Liu Shuyi to turn against her beloved daughter, but what if Shen Yuanyuan was Shen Wenzhong's illegitimate child?

What if Shen Yuanyuan knew her true identity from the beginning but had been deceiving her all along? Would Liu Shuyi still be the loving mother she is now?

She has plenty of time; she'll watch the show unfold.

Liu Shuyi walked quickly into the ward, but still saw the scene she least wanted to see.

Shen Yuanyuan sat in a wheelchair, looking flustered, while Shen Qingyao sat on the hospital bed, her face full of mockery.

She had initially held onto the hope that she was just hallucinating or mishearing Shen Yuanyuan's voice.

But now Shen Yuanyuan is in Shen Qingyao's hospital room, and all her fantasies have been shattered.

"Yuanyuan, why aren't you resting in your own ward? What are you doing here?"

Liu Shuyi tried her best to control her emotions, but her tightly clenched hands still betrayed her chaotic state of mind.

"I...Mom, I came to see my little sister, I...Mom..."

Shen Yuanyuan reverted to her usual obedient demeanor, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know how to explain herself.

Liu Shuyi then turned her gaze to Shen Qingyao. Seeing Shen Qingyao looking at her with a half-smile and eyes full of mockery, Liu Shuyi felt as if her heart had been crushed.

She instantly understood that Shen Qingyao was waiting for her attitude, to see how she would handle the matter.

At that moment, she had a strange feeling, as if Shen Qingyao was not her daughter, but a powerful and influential person who coldly mocked them.

Feeling this subtle sense of oppression, Liu Shuyi's face drained of color, making her look quite unwell.

"Yuanyuan, I heard everything you just said. How could you become like this? You actually cursed Qingyao to die."

"Was everything you showed before fake? You didn't welcome Qingyao home, and you felt that her return threatened your position and status, right?"

Liu Shuyi questioned Shen Yuanyuan with great distress, but her tearful questioning made it seem less like an accusation.

Shen Yuanyuan was slightly taken aback when she heard Liu Shuyi's question, but quickly realized that Liu Shuyi had only heard the last part of the sentence, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Mom, it was Shen Qingyao who framed me. She kept provoking me and leading me to say those vicious things. None of that was my intention."

Shen Yuanyuan covered her face and cried bitterly, blaming all the blame on Shen Qingyao.

This tactic had always been effective, successfully directing all the blame towards Shen Qingyao each time.

This time, however, Liu Shuyi did not believe her and looked at Shen Yuanyuan with eyes full of disappointment.

"She framed you? Does your willingness to come to her hospital room also mean she framed you? Aren't the things you said just what you really felt? When Qingyao first returned to the Shen family, you cried and made a scene, even going on a hunger strike and cutting your wrists. Doesn't all of this show that you didn't want Qingyao to come back?"

"So all you've done is to pretend to be a good child in front of me, right?"

Liu Shuyi's eyes were red and swollen, and her gaze towards Shen Yuanyuan was filled with pain and disappointment.

Shen Yuanyuan was educated by her from childhood to adulthood, and at this moment she suddenly began to doubt whether there was a big problem with her education.

Even so, she didn't even question whether Shen Yuanyuan was inherently evil, which made Shen Qingyao curse her inwardly as foolish.

"Mom, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again! Mom, please don't be angry, okay? I really won't do it again. From now on, I don't want anything anymore, I'll give it all to my sister, okay? Just don't be angry, and don't abandon me, Mom!"

Shen Yuanyuan tearfully explained, even falling off her wheelchair and crawling towards Liu Shuyi.

Originally angry, Liu Shuyi disregarded everything else and hurriedly went to help Shen Yuanyuan.

Shen Qingyao watched this scene coldly, finding it extremely boring. Liu Shuyi had really disappointed her.

What she wanted to see was everyone in the Shen family unhappy, the whole Shen family in chaos, not this scene of mother and daughter showing affection.

"see a visitor out!"

At Shen Qingyao's command, soldiers immediately came in, dragged Shen Yuanyuan out, and threw her wheelchair away as well.

Liu Shuyi tried to stop Shen Yuanyuan from being dragged, but was pushed away without any mercy.

"Qingyao..."

"roll!"

Shen Qingyao's cold, single word silenced all of Liu Shuyi's words, causing Liu Shuyi to sway precariously.
