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

Just as Si Jingnian was puzzled, Shen Qingyao's lazy voice came.

“The Shen family has nothing to do with me anymore, and neither does Liu Shuyi. I just want to figure out all the mysteries about my origins. I don’t like feeling confused.”

Shen Qingyao couldn't quite articulate what she truly wanted to achieve, but she knew she couldn't completely sever all ties with the Shen family.

Even though she had decided to sever ties with the Shen family, she couldn't help but pay more attention to any developments they made.

"I see."

Si Jingnian nodded knowingly upon hearing this, understanding Shen Qingyao's feelings at that moment.

Shen Qingyao thought that Si Jingnian would continue to comfort and console her, but to her surprise, he didn't say a word the whole way.

This relieved Shen Qingyao. She actually found it difficult to accept excessive comfort and concern from others and didn't know how to respond.

But Si Jingnian seemed to understand her feelings very well, and didn't bother her again along the way, nor did he offer any words of advice that left her unsure how to respond.

By the time the two returned to the young marshal's mansion, it was already completely dark.

As soon as Shen Qingyao stepped into the young marshal's mansion, she saw Meng Shuqin pacing anxiously back and forth in the front hall, clearly having been waiting for quite some time.

"Mom, we are back."

When Si Jingnian saw Meng Shuqin hurrying towards him, he immediately reached out to help her.

However, Meng Shuqin bypassed him and went straight to Shen Qingyao behind him.

Si Jingnian's hands hung awkwardly in mid-air for a moment before he reluctantly lowered them.

Si Jingnian: My mom is getting more and more biased!

But Meng Shuqin had no time to pay attention to Si Jingnian's reaction. She pulled Shen Qingyao and spoke anxiously.

“Ayao, could you come with me to see Mrs. Huang? She’s my mahjong partner and my good friend. We just got news from the Huang family that Mrs. Huang seems to be possessed. She doesn’t recognize anyone and is carrying a knife, slashing at people indiscriminately. She’s already injured several people and is now tied up.”

Meng Shuqin frowned and spoke with great anxiety, showing that she was very worried about Mrs. Huang.

Si Jingnian wanted to say that Shen Qingyao had just returned and should rest for a while before talking, but Shen Qingyao had already agreed.

Si Jingnian shook his head helplessly and followed behind them, once again personally acting as their driver to take them to the Huang residence.

Upon entering the Huang residence, Shen Qingyao's expression immediately turned serious, and she began to run.

Seeing this, Meng Shuqin and Si Jingnian hurriedly followed behind her, ran into the Huang residence, and then headed towards the backyard.

As soon as we entered Mrs. Huang's yard, heart-wrenching screams came from inside, sounding extremely painful.

The people from the Huang family were about to ask Shen Qingyao who she was when they saw Si Jingnian and Meng Shuqin behind her.

Before Meng Shuqin could introduce herself, Shen Qingyao kicked open the tightly closed door. Everyone in the Huang family watched this scene helplessly, wanting to stop her but unable to do so because Si Jingnian was present. They were angry but dared not speak out.

Upon kicking open the door, Shen Qingyao saw a middle-aged woman tied to a chair; she must be the Mrs. Huang that Meng Shuqin had mentioned.

Mrs. Huang was bound by ropes and was struggling violently, emitting sharp and painful screams.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her mouth was full of blood from biting her gums; she looked extremely painful.

Anyone could see that Mrs. Huang was not behaving normally at this moment, and the Huang family members were too frightened to enter the house when they saw this scene.

Meng Shuqin couldn't resist wanting to go inside, but Si Jingnian stopped her at the door.

Mrs. Huang's body kept emitting a black gas that only Shen Qingyao could see; it was the Yin energy that Shen Qingyao was extremely familiar with.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Qingyao bit her finger and drew a talisman in the air, then slammed it into Mrs. Huang's forehead.

The dense yin energy dissipated instantly, and Mrs. Huang stopped screaming. She slumped back in her chair, completely exhausted, her breath very weak.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Huang's chest was still rising and falling, the Huang family would have almost thought she was dead.

The people of the Huang family were all shocked to see this scene, looking at Shen Qingyao with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

"Mrs. Si, your daughter-in-law actually has such abilities?"

Master Huang sounded surprised and spoke to Meng Shuqin with great respect.

Upon hearing this, Meng Shuqin revealed an expression of pride, as if Master Huang was praising her.

"That's right. My daughter-in-law has always been very capable. My son was able to wake up back then, and it was all thanks to A-Yao."

As Si Jingnian listened to his mother's proud praise of Shen Qingyao, his gentle gaze fell on Shen Qingyao, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

It turns out that he wasn't the only one who noticed her excellence.

Inside the room, Shen Qingyao did not stop what she was doing just because Mrs. Huang had quieted down.

She touched Mrs. Huang's forehead with the blood from her finger, then snapped her fingers on both shoulders and the top of her head.

"Okay, come in."

As soon as Shen Qingyao spoke, Meng Shuqin and Si Jingnian stepped into the room and walked to Shen Qingyao's side.

Seeing this, the Huang family members, despite some apprehension, had no choice but to muster their courage and follow them in.

"Master...no! Young Marshal's wife, is my wife alright?"

Mr. Huang's tone carried a hint of worry, and when he realized that he was standing a little too close to Mrs. Huang, he quickly took two steps back.

"It's alright now. Her body was corrupted by yin energy. She must have gone to some place she shouldn't have gone. I've expelled the yin energy from her body and relit her yang lamp."

"only……"

Shen Qingyao stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, and Master Huang looked slightly nervous.

"Just what?"

Shen Qingyao's gaze fell on Master Huang, and only after a moment did she look away, her expression returning to normal.

"She's going to be seriously ill soon, so you'd better take her to the hospital; she should recover faster that way."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang seemed relieved and quickly agreed, then hurriedly arranged for someone to take Mrs. Huang to the hospital.

Si Jingnian realized that Shen Qingyao had something she didn't say, but because they were in the Huang residence, she could only suppress her questions.

Only after watching Mrs. Huang being taken to the hospital did Shen Qingyao and her two companions begin to walk back.

In the car, Si Jingnian glanced at Shen Qingyao in the rearview mirror. Seeing that her expression wasn't bad, he spoke softly.

"Was there something you didn't finish saying at the Huang residence?"

Shen Qingyao looked up at the rearview mirror and met Si Jingnian's gaze in the mirror. She was slightly taken aback before smiling.

"You're quite thoughtful, but I'm a little curious. How come such a bold and meticulous young marshal like you is only getting married now? Shouldn't you be surrounded by a group of beautiful women, some as plump as others?"

Hearing Shen Qingyao's teasing, Si Jingnian thought she was saying he was getting old, and felt a little helpless and even nervous.

Si Jingnian: Does that mean 27 years old is already considered old?

Meng Shuqin, standing to the side, inwardly sounded the alarm for her son, but when she looked at her son who didn't say a word in defense, she felt a bit disappointed and wanted to slap him.

"Jingnian is usually busy with work and rarely comes into contact with girls. He has even turned down matchmakers who came to propose marriage."

“He’s perfect in every way. I’ve been worried about his marriage for the past few years. Although he’s not that old, he’s always refused to meet girls, and I’m worried that he’ll end up a bachelor.”

"Now it's all good. My son is not only married and has a wife, but she's also a generous, beautiful, and capable woman. I've finally accomplished one mission."

While cursing Si Jingnian in her heart, Meng Shuqin held Shen Qingyao's hand and smiled happily.
