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

Seeing Shen Yuanyuan's inconsistent expression and the word "bitch" that she blurted out.

Liu Shuyi understood her trick perfectly well, and for a moment all the words of accusation against Shen Qingyao stuck in her throat.

"Mom, it's not me, I just..."

"Shen Yuanyuan, tell me my medical skills are pretty good, aren't they? They cure illnesses instantly, don't they?"

Shen Qingyao interrupted Shen Yuanyuan's explanation, looking at her with a mocking expression.

"you……"

Shen Yuanyuan was furious, but because Liu Shuyi and Shen Yanming were there, she had to swallow her anger in order to maintain her gentle and quiet image.

"Mom, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I just... I just didn't want to embarrass the Shen family in front of so many servants."

"My sister is forcing me to apologize to her in front of everyone in the Shen family. I am a daughter of the Shen family. If I were to bow my head in front of all the servants, wouldn't I be disgracing the Shen family?"

"I was confused for a moment and came up with the idea of ​​faking illness. I was too stupid and didn't know how to handle the problem properly, so I had no choice but to do this."

"Mom, you know me best. I've been so well protected by you, Dad, and my brothers since I was little. I'm too naive and innocent, which is why I made such a mistake. Please forgive me."

Shen Yuanyuan knelt down without hesitation, her eyes seem to have a switch on, tears came instantly without any preparation.

Liu Shuyi, who was initially a little angry, was now only heartbroken, and her eyes reddened along with Shen Yuanyuan's.

Shen Qingyao cursed under her breath for being stupid and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

She must have been out of her mind in her previous life to expect maternal love from such a foolish person.

"Qingyao..."

“Mrs. Shen, she wasn’t trying to deceive me. How you want to handle it is none of my business, but the promise to apologize in front of the entire Shen family remains unchanged.”

When Shen Qingyao addressed her as "Mrs. Shen," Liu Shuyi swayed, a wave of bitterness rising in her heart.

"Qingyao, I am your mother, how can you call me Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Yuanyuan became anxious when she saw that Liu Shuyi's attention had drifted away from her.

"Mom, my head hurts so much."

But Liu Shuyi, who always doted on her the most, didn't seem as worried about her as usual this time, which made Shen Yuanyuan feel uneasy.

"Mother……"

“Yuanyuan, since you and Yanming have already agreed to publicly apologize to Qingyao, then apologize. You are all sisters, so it doesn’t count as disgracing the Shen family.”

Liu Shuyi felt that something was becoming increasingly elusive, which made her very irritable and restless.

Shen Yuanyuan was shocked that her mother, who had always doted on her, would side with Shen Qingyao. She was immediately taken aback and swayed unsteadily.

"Mom, what did you say? You want me to apologize to her publicly?"

Shen Yuanyuan bit her lip, feeling wronged, and tears streamed down her face. Liu Shuyi couldn't bear it and turned her head away from her gaze.

“Yuanyuan, we should keep our promises. Since it was a bet you made yourselves, and you and Yanming did indeed wrong Qingyao, you should apologize to her.”

Seeing Shen Yuanyuan's stubborn crying, Liu Shuyi felt heartbroken. But when she thought that Shen Qingyao was no longer willing to call her "Mom" because of her favoritism, Liu Shuyi forced herself not to defend Shen Yuanyuan.

"I'll apologize then. I, Shen Yanming, am willing to accept defeat!"

Shen Yanming, who had been vomiting all the way to the side, almost brought up bile. His face was pale and he slumped weakly to the ground against the pillar.

At this moment, the hatred in his eyes when he looked at Shen Qingyao was gone, replaced only by endless exhaustion and despair.

Only then did Liu Shuyi remember to care about her son, and she wiped away her tears as she helped Shen Yanming up.

"Shen Qingyao, we wronged you this time, we're sorry!"

Shen Yanming stared unfocusedly at Shen Qingyao, his apologetic tone weak. As soon as he finished speaking, he shook off Liu Shuyi's hand and walked back, his steps unsteady as if he were walking on cotton.

When Shen Yanming left, Shen Yuanyuan was left standing there awkwardly, her face as red and white as a palette.

"Yuanyuan, look, your third brother has already apologized. Why don't you apologize to Qingyao too, okay?"

Liu Shuyi looked exhausted, and her tone was almost pleading.

Seeing that Shen Yanming had already apologized and Liu Shuyi was no longer on her side, Shen Yuanyuan could only suppress her resentment and apologize to Shen Qingyao, no matter how unwilling she was.

"Sister, I'm sorry!"

Shen Qingyao sensed the gritted teeth in Shen Yuanyuan's tone and couldn't help but feel delighted.

What she wanted was not a sincere apology from Shen Yuanyuan; the more resentful and unwilling Shen Yuanyuan was to accept it, the happier she felt.

"Since you've apologized so sincerely, it would seem petty of me not to forgive you. Alas! Unfortunately, I'm not exactly a generous person to begin with."

Shen Qingyao raised an eyebrow and chuckled, tossing the handkerchief she was using to wipe her hands at Shen Yuanyuan before walking away, looking refreshed.

Shen Yuanyuan gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Watching Shen Qingyao's light and agile figure, Shen Yuanyuan almost ground her teeth to powder, her eyes bursting with boundless hatred.

As soon as Liu Shuyi turned around, she saw the malice in Shen Yuanyuan's eyes that seemed to be poisoned, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, Shen Yuanyuan seemed to have become a person she didn't recognize. Her ferocious face and vicious eyes were something she had never seen before.

Shen Yuanyuan was caught off guard by Liu Shuyi's sudden turn around. Before she could hide her venomous gaze, she panicked.

In just a moment, Shen Yuanyuan adjusted her emotions and returned to her usual gentle and beautiful self, her face full of girlish grievances.

"Mom, my sister still won't forgive me."

Liu Shuyi forced a smile, raised her hand and gently patted Shen Yuanyuan, softly comforting her.

"Yuanyuan, go back to your room and wash up and change your clothes, don't catch a cold. Your sister has Mom here, I'll talk to her nicely, don't worry."

Watching Shen Yuanyuan leave looking aggrieved, Liu Shuyi felt an increasingly strong unease in her heart, causing her to unconsciously fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, she couldn't see Shen Yuanyuan clearly anymore; she didn't seem as innocent and kind as she appeared on the surface.

What she couldn't understand the most was her own daughter, Shen Qingyao, who seemed to have changed overnight.

What she used to fear most was being told she was immature, so she always tried to please them and was always submissive in front of them.

Every time Shen Yuanyuan complained, she would cry and try to prove her innocence, shouting that she had been wronged.

But ever since that day, Shen Qingyao has become a completely different person.

Not only did their gaze become cold and indifferent, but their attitude also completely changed.

Shen Qingyao's change startled her and filled her with a sense of panic.

She seems to care about them completely, not even her own mother.
