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

Before long, all the servants of the Shen family were summoned together. Many of them were unaware of what had happened and were whispering among themselves.

The moment Shen Qingyao appeared, the scene fell silent, and Amei also walked over at that moment.

"Miss, I have already informed the Third Young Master and Miss Yuanyuan. They said they will be here soon."

After saying that, Amei secretly leaned closer to Shen Qingyao, looking mysterious.

"Miss, I see Miss Yuanyuan keeps applying powder to her face. Her makeup makes her look like she's about to die. Anyone who didn't know better would think she's going to a funeral!"

Amei's tone was disdainful, but Shen Qingyao caught the important information and then gave a cold laugh.

"Amei, go to the kitchen and fetch a bucket of swill, and also a towel."

Although Amei didn't know what Shen Qingyao was going to do, she didn't ask a single question and obediently went to the kitchen.

Shen Yuanyuan and Shen Yanming had not arrived by the time Shen Wenzhong and Liu Shuyi arrived at the main hall.

"Qingyao, why did you call us here?"

Liu Shuyi tightened her shawl, looking somewhat impatient. She was displeased that Shen Qingyao had gathered everyone together.

She only restrained herself from showing her true feelings because Shen Qingyao was her daughter.

Although Shen Qingyao noticed the impatience on her face, she didn't care at all.

If it were her previous life, she would have worried that she would be criticized for being immature.

But now she doesn't want to care about anyone, nor does she want to pay attention to anyone's opinions or thoughts anymore.

She just wanted to get back all the grievances she had suffered.

"Don't rush! I know you're a little impatient, but you'll know once your daughter Shen Yuanyuan and your son Shen Yanming arrive."

Shen Qingyao's tone carried a subtle hint of sarcasm, which Liu Shuyi noticed, causing her expression to stiffen slightly.

She didn't expect Shen Qingyao to directly expose her impatient attitude, leaving her somewhat embarrassed.

Liu Shuyi knew she was in the wrong and didn't say anything more, but Shen Wenzhong frowned when he saw Shen Qingyao's frivolous appearance.

"What kind of thuggish behavior is this! This is your mother, is this how you talk to her? Where is your manners and upbringing?"

Shen Wenzhong had a stern face, exuding an air of authority without being angry, and his sharp gaze looked at Shen Qingyao with a hint of resentment.

Shen Qingyao half-lifted her eyelids, her eyes filled with disdain for Shen Wenzhong.

Shen Qingyao knew very well that he was only angry that she had challenged his authority, and was not genuinely speaking up for his wife.

Ultimately, such a man is selfish and self-serving, prioritizing his own interests above all else. Compared to Liu Shuyi's favoritism, Shen Qingyao has no liking for someone like him who puts profit above all else.

In his eyes, both Shen Yuanyuan and himself were merely bargaining chips in a transaction; he had little genuine affection for them.

"I'm sorry, because I was born with parents but not raised by them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuyi's eyes instantly reddened, and she shook her head with a sorrowful expression.

"Qingyao, what happened to you..."

Unlike Liu Shuyi, Shen Wenzhong was furious upon hearing this. He slammed his hand on the table, making the teacup jump.

"You wretched child! Are you blaming us?"

Shen Qingyao stood up calmly, her expression remaining indifferent from beginning to end, completely unlike her usual timid and submissive demeanor.

"I wouldn't dare. I invited you two here to watch a good show. Here you are."

As Shen Qingyao was speaking, Shen Yanming arrived late, supporting Shen Yuanyuan.

Shen Yuanyuan leaned against Shen Yanming, looking frail and helpless, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

As soon as Liu Shuyi saw Shen Yuanyuan, she immediately rushed over to her with concern, her eyes full of heartache.

Shen Yanming released Shen Yuanyuan and took a few big steps closer to Shen Qingyao, his eyes filled with hatred for her. As if afraid of not provoking her, he deliberately said some harsh words.

"Shen Qingyao, Yuanyuan's current state is all your fault! Yuanyuan was already injured after you pushed her down the stairs, and she hasn't fully recovered yet. Just now, you were so aggressive towards her that you scared her into fainting. You're a jinx! How could someone like you be a daughter of the Shen family!"

"Yanming, no matter what, Qingyao is still your own sister. How can you say such things about your sister?"

Before Shen Qingyao could speak, Liu Shuyi scolded Shen Yanming with a disapproving look on her face.

Although she also felt that Shen Qingyao was becoming increasingly unruly and disobedient, she couldn't stand Shen Yanming saying anything too outrageous.

She just wanted her family to live in harmony, so why couldn't they get along well?

Shen Qingyao looked at Shen Yanming, her eyes revealing a suffocating indifference and ruthlessness. She sneered and then said, word by word.

"Then you'd better be prepared to be cursed to death by me."

Shen Yanming choked and wanted to say something more, but when he saw Shen Qingyao's icy gaze, he subconsciously swallowed all his words.

Seeing that Shen Yanming had given up, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Shen Yuanyuan's eyes. But when she looked up, her eyes softened into a pool of gentle water. She took a few steps forward and pulled Shen Yanming back.

"Cough cough cough... Third brother, don't let me hurt your brother-sister relationship. I'm fine. It's just that my body is too weak. It's not my fault."

Seeing Shen Yuanyuan's frail appearance yet still trying to defend Shen Qingyao, Shen Yanming felt both heartache and anger.

“Shen Qingyao, look at Yuanyuan, if only you were half as good as Yuanyuan…”

Shen Yanming was interrupted halfway through his condemnation by a bucket of swill coming straight at him.

Shen Yanming and Shen Yuanyuan were drenched in swill, the stench seeping into their nostrils.

The stench of the swill made Shen Yanming forget about everyone else, and he ran to the side and leaned against a pillar to vomit.

"Shen Qingyao, you bitch, what are you doing! You... Waaah..."

Shen Yuanyuan realized she had been scalded with swill and immediately flew into a rage, her face contorted in a rage.

A mixture of foul odors assaulted her nostrils, but for the sake of her image, Shen Yuanyuan forced herself not to vomit against the pillar like Shen Yanming.

Ignoring Shen Yuanyuan's anger, Shen Qingyao grabbed a rag and wiped Shen Yuanyuan's face, instantly revealing a rosy and healthy complexion.

"Oh! Miss Shen's illness really comes and goes quickly, doesn't it? I cured you with just a bucket of swill. You'd better think about how to thank me."

Everyone present was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

Shen Wenzhong was both surprised and disgusted, and took several steps back. Finally, he threw down a harsh remark and ran away, covering his nose.

Liu Shuyi was also stunned and stood there until Shen Qingyao's voice rang out, at which point she belatedly realized what was happening.

"Shen Qingyao, what are you doing! What's wrong with you? Why are you pouring swill on Yuanyuan and Yanming?"

Shen Qingyao couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of maternal love. Despite the foul odor emanating from Shen Yuanyuan, Liu Shuyi showed no disgust and hugged her tightly with heartache.

But this maternal love wasn't meant for her; even in this second life, she didn't crave it.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm treating her illness. Look at her now, is her face still pale?"

Shen Qingyao calmly accepted the handkerchief handed to her by Amei and carefully wiped the swill that had accidentally gotten on her hands.

Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's words, Liu Shuyi looked at Shen Yuanyuan with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Shen Yuanyuan's face no longer showed any signs of paleness or illness; instead, it was rosy and healthy, and her face was flushed red with anger and shame at being exposed.
