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

"Master Shen, you're so impressive! Should I, like my wife, also call you 'Father'?"

Si Jingnian walked in wearing a smart blue military uniform, his leather boots making a pleasant sound on the ground, but such a sound made Shen Wenzhong feel like a deflated balloon.

Shen Qingyao was somewhat surprised by Si Jingnian's arrival; she really hadn't expected him to come.

Shen Wenzhong's anger seemed to be extinguished by water after Si Jingnian came over, leaving not a single spark.

"Young...Young Marshal."

Shen Wenzhong bent over and tried to smile apologetically, but Si Jingnian didn't even give him a glance.

Si Jingnian walked straight to Shen Qingyao. Seeing that she was unharmed, the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally slowly settled back into his stomach.

At that moment, he noticed that his mother was sitting leisurely and elegantly drinking tea, clearly unaffected, which made him completely relieved.

"Are you okay?"

Shen Qingyao's heart stirred slightly, and she shook her head blankly, her eyes showing a strange emotion as she looked at Si Jingnian.

"fine."

Si Jingnian gave her a reassuring look, raised his hand to ruffle Shen Qingyao's hair, and then turned to look at Shen Wenzhong.

“Mr. Shen, you should understand one thing: if it weren’t for the fact that you are the biological father of my wife, you would be a corpse by now. So you should be grateful that you have a good daughter who saved your life.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenzhong's face turned deathly pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He never imagined that Si Jingnian would harbor murderous intent towards him! For a moment, he didn't know how to respond and could only stammer an explanation.

"Young Marshal, this...it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

However, his explanations seemed so pale and powerless under the pressure of Si Jingnian's powerful aura.

Seeing Shen Wenzhong's drastically different attitudes before and after, Shen Qingyao felt a pang of unease.

This is the benefit of power. When Shen Wenzhong faced her, even though he was somewhat wary at first, he was still resentful and unwilling to accept it. Even that slight wariness disappeared later.

However, when facing Si Jingnian, Shen Wenzhong's attitude was completely different. He didn't dare to go against Si Jingnian from the bottom of his heart, and didn't even have the slightest thought of doing so.

Noticing that Shen Qingyao was somewhat displeased, Si Jingnian was a little confused and thought that he had gone too far and felt a little guilty.

"Ah Yao, shall we go home?"

Shen Qingyao nodded calmly. In any case, she had already confirmed the things she needed to confirm when she came to the Shen family, and now it was time for her to go back.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao's expression was not unpleasant and showed no signs of anger, Si Jingnian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Marshal, wait a moment."

Shen Qingyao had just stood up and was standing next to Si Jingnian, and hadn't even taken her first step when Shen Yuanyuan's soft, weak voice came over.

"Young Marshal, there are some things I didn't want to say, but now... my sister is still so stubborn and her behavior is too rude, so I have no choice but to speak up."

"She not only hit me, but also insulted Aunt Cui with all sorts of foul language. Her words were so lewd that I... I'm ashamed to even mention them."

“She is the young marshal’s wife. Even if she hit me, I could only endure it. But what she said was too much. Even I, as a bystander, couldn’t stand it. She has to apologize to Aunt Cui.”

Shen Yuanyuan swayed as she stood up, her face still bearing the slap mark from Shen Qingyao.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked at Shen Qingyao with a stubborn expression, appearing fearless of power and unyielding.

Shen Yuanyuan originally thought that her indomitable spirit would make Si Jingnian look at her with new respect, and perhaps even think that she was of noble character.

However, to her surprise, Si Jingnian turned his head and glanced at her with an impatient expression, his deep eyes filled with murderous intent.

"My wife can hit whomever she wants, and curse whomever she wants. If she's not happy about it, she can keep it to herself!"

"Miss Shen, your protectiveness towards a concubine suggests a close relationship between you. Are you perhaps not an adopted daughter, but rather a daughter born out of wedlock?"

Si Jingnian's words shocked Shen Yuanyuan and Cui Jingru so much that they turned pale and dared not say another word.

Shen Qingyao couldn't help but glance at Si Jingnian again, surprised that he had so easily figured out the relationship between Shen Yuanyuan and Cui Jingru.

After taking two steps, Shen Qingyao stopped again, thought for a moment, and then turned back to look at Shen Yuanyuan.

"Shen Yuanyuan, you really have no right to criticize what I said as harsh, after all, I was just telling the truth."

"Besides, I'm a married man, so these words don't bother me much. But you, even though you don't say it, you've done everything you should."

"If you have time to make trouble for me, you should hurry up and inform your fiancé, Pei Huaichuan. If you keep delaying your wedding, your belly will become a problem."

Shen Qingyao, with a half-smile, turned her gaze to Shen Yuanyuan's stomach, finished speaking, and turned to leave, leaving a room full of people who hadn't yet reacted.

Shen Yuanyuan realized what Shen Qingyao had said, her face turned pale instantly, and she frantically shook her head, trying to explain herself.

How could Shen Qingyao possibly know that she and Pei Huaichuan had already gone that far?

Impossible, she's definitely just guessing!

"The daughters raised by your Shen family are really... tsk tsk tsk! Fortunately, my daughter-in-law Ayao is naturally sensible and well-behaved, has a positive outlook, is not only beautiful, but also very capable."

"It's my son's good fortune to marry A Yao. It's really...unlucky for A Yao to have a family like the Shen family!"

Meng Shuqin stood up, glanced at Shen Yuanyuan with a complicated expression, covered her nose, and walked out with a look of disgust.

After witnessing this scene today, she finally understood that the Shen family was a bunch of blind and incompetent fools.

One by one, they mistook fish eyes for pearls, while the real pearl was obscured in the Shen family.

If it weren't for her son's accidental marriage, she doesn't know how badly she would have been tormented by the Shen family.

Ah Yao is kind-hearted; even after being treated like this by this family, she still treats them kindly.

If it were her, she would never let the Shen family get away with it.

After all, she has always been one to seek revenge for every wrong done to her.

To be honest, some people are truly wicked and their influence will last for a thousand years. It seems his dosage should be increased.

Meng Shuqin walked out with a calm expression, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her fierce gaze was quite different from her usual self.

Only after Shen Qingyao and her family of three left did Shen Wenzhong frown and look at Shen Yuanyuan.

"What did Shen Qingyao mean by that? Tell me!"

Even if Shen Wenzhong was stupid, he knew what Shen Qingyao meant, so the way he looked at Shen Yuanyuan at this moment was as if he wanted to beat her to death.

Shen Yuanyuan trembled with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground, her eyes darting away guiltily, not daring to look Shen Wenzhong in the eye.

"Dad, I don't know, I didn't! I don't know why my sister is trying to smear me like this. I really didn't. My brother Huaichuan and I have always acted with propriety and never done anything we shouldn't have done."

Cui Jingru also looked anxious and wanted to plead for Shen Yuanyuan, but she stopped herself when her gaze fell on Liu Shuyi.

“Sister, although I have just entered the Shen family, I can tell from the time I have spent with Yuanyuan that she is not an ignorant child. Why don’t you try to persuade the master?”

Liu Shuyi shook off Cui Jingru's outstretched hand, looking at her with disgust and hatred.

“I will take care of my own daughter. I don’t need a concubine like you to play the good guy here.”

Liu Shuyi didn't want to give Cui Jingru the slightest bit of a friendly look; in her anger, she no longer cared about Shen Wenzhong's dissatisfaction with her.

At this moment, she had too many questions she wanted to clarify, and because of Shen Qingyao's words, she began to doubt whether Shen Yuanyuan was really doing something wrong.

"Yuanyuan, come back to my room with me, I have something to tell you."
