Feeling the disgusted and contemptuous looks from those around him, Shen Wenzhong felt his old face burning up.

However, Shen Qingyao did not intend to let them off so easily.

Today's dish is just an appetizer; the real show is yet to come.

"Shen Yuanyuan, you don't seem surprised at all. It seems you already knew that Cui Jingru was your biological mother, otherwise you wouldn't have kept urging Mr. Shen to bring her back to the Shen family."

"She was so close to Shen Jia as soon as she entered the family, even forgetting her mother who had raised her for more than 20 years."

Shen Yuanyuan was flustered by the stares of those around her, and completely lost her usual composure and calmness.

"No, no, no, don't make false accusations!"

Shen Yuanyuan glared at Shen Qingyao with hatred in her eyes, her usual gentle and kind demeanor completely gone.

Cui Jingru quickly helped Shen Yuanyuan up and secretly pinched her arm to calm her down.

“Miss Qingyao, we have no idea what you're talking about, you…”

"Enough! Stop putting on an act for me. You just want me to go to the Shen family to catch ghosts for you, right? No problem! I'll go. After all, that's my family home, isn't it? I'll go back and visit often."

Shen Qingyao wiped away her tears, gave the three of them a cold look, and then turned around and went back to the young marshal's mansion.

Si Jingnian's murderous gaze fell on Shen Wenzhong and the other two. Shen Wenzhong's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.

"Young Marshal, no... I..."

Shen Yuanyuan's hesitant voice came through, her big, watery eyes looking at Si Jingnian.

Si Jingnian glanced at her with a cold, murderous look, then turned and hurriedly followed Shen Qingyao.

Shen Yuanyuan stared at Si Jingnian's retreating figure, her eyes filled with resentment. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, creating a large dent.

Upon returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Shen Qingyao immediately washed her face and then lay down for a good night's sleep.

By the time she and Si Jingnian were sitting in the car, slowly and unsteadily making their way to the Shen family's house, it was already completely dark.

For the first time in history, when Shen Qingyao returned to the Shen family, everyone in the family was there to greet her at the door.

Shen Qingyao sneered, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery.

Si Jingnian looked at her with heartache, and after getting out of the car, he mustered up his courage and took Shen Qingyao's hand.

Shen Qingyao paused, the mockery in her eyes fading slightly, replaced by surprise and shyness.

Although she and Si Jingnian have been married for quite some time, they have never even held hands.

"Ayao, go ahead and do what you want to do. Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

Upon hearing Si Jingnian's magnetic voice, Shen Qingyao's mind immediately wandered, and she turned her head to glance at him with a flicker in her eyes.

Si Jingnian noticed her gaze and turned to look at her. Shen Qingyao immediately looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Si Jingnian noticed Shen Qingyao's embarrassment and immediately smiled indulgently, tightening his grip on her hand.

Feeling the change in the pressure on her hand, Shen Qingyao pursed her lips, squeezed Si Jingnian's hand back, and her ears instantly turned red.

When Si Jingnian saw that Shen Qingyao had responded, he was so happy that he wanted to shout a few words.

The Shen family members watched as Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian walked towards them hand in hand, taking three steps at a time, with shy and beautiful expressions on their faces. They were all speechless.

Their whole family was tormented by the evil spirit, unable to eat or sleep properly, and they all lost a lot of weight. They are now terrified of the evil spirit.

But now, with Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian looking like this, are they here to catch evil spirits or to stroll around and have a romantic date?

Shen Wenzhong, Cui Jingru, and Shen Yuanyuan all looked very unpleasant.

Shen Wenzhong was furious that he was being tormented to death by the evil spirit, but Shen Qingyao didn't care at all. She came to catch the ghost and even brought Si Jingnian along to have a romance, completely disregarding the life and death of the Shen family.

Cui Jingru, on the other hand, thought of what Shen Qingyao had said during the day and was afraid that she would tell Liu Shuyi, Shen Yanting, and Shen Yanming directly.

She and Shen Yuanyuan haven't completely broken ties with them yet. She hasn't gained control of the Shen family yet, so she can't completely fall out with them.

Shen Yuanyuan watched Si Jingnian and Shen Qingyao holding hands, the two of them very affectionate, and she was so jealous she was almost going crazy.

She discovered that Pei Huaichuan was not a faithful man at all, and was entangled with many women outside, some of whom even got pregnant by him. She didn't want to marry a man like Pei Huaichuan.

She was jealous that Shen Qingyao could marry a man like Si Jingnian. She was the pampered daughter of the Shen family, while Shen Qingyao was just a wild girl who grew up in the mountains. Why could she live so well and receive Si Jingnian's care and love?

She was unwilling to accept it! She had managed to snatch Pei Huaichuan away from Shen Qingyao, and she believed she could also win over Si Jingnian.

Men are all the same; those who live at home are not as good as those who live outside, and those who live outside are not as good as those who steal.

She absolutely had to get Si Jingnian!

The calculating glint in Shen Yuanyuan's eyes was so intense that Shen Qingyao couldn't help but notice it.

She naturally understood the jealousy and scheming in Shen Yuanyuan's eyes; it was the same look she had when she tried to steal the marriage agreement between the Shen and Pei families.

Now...

"A man who attracts attention and admirers."

Shen Qingyao turned her head to look at Si Jingnian, her smile deepening.

Si Jingnian was somewhat confused by what Shen Qingyao said. Following Shen Qingyao's gaze, he saw Shen Yuanyuan giving him an ambiguous look.

Si Jingnian glared at Shen Yuanyuan with cold, unromantic eyes. His murderous gaze made Shen Yuanyuan's face turn pale instantly, and she looked hurt.

Shen Qingyao sneered while secretly pinching Si Jingnian's hand.

Noticing the little girl's movement, Si Jingnian looked at her profile and smiled indulgently.

She probably didn't know that the force with which she pinched him was like a kind of suggestion to him, making him not only feel no pain but also unable to help but want to laugh.

Seeing this scene, both Shen Yanting and Shen Yanming, who were single, felt a little stimulated and their expressions became somewhat unnatural.

"Don't be ashamed."

As soon as Shen Yanming finished speaking, he noticed Liu Shuyi's displeased gaze.

He recalled Liu Shuyi's outburst earlier that day and could only awkwardly shut his mouth.

Seeing how good the relationship was between Si Jingnian and Shen Qingyao, Liu Shuyi smiled with satisfaction.

"Qingyao, Young Marshal, you've arrived. Come in quickly."

Liu Shuyi looked at Shen Qingyao with loving eyes, but still did not get the response she wanted.

Shen Qingyao nodded lightly, then pulled Si Jingnian and walked into the Shen family home without any ceremony.

Although Shen Qingyao only nodded slightly to Liu Shuyi, Liu Shuyi was overjoyed. At least this time, Shen Qingyao's gaze was no longer so cold.

When Shen Wenzhong saw that Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian showed no respect for the elderly and children, not only did they not greet him, the head of the Shen family, but they also left him behind, his face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"As expected of someone raised in the countryside, they have no manners."

Cui Jingru naturally noticed Shen Wenzhong's displeasure and immediately took the opportunity to put on a show of displeasure in front of him.
