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

Shen Qingyao had no liking for Liu Shuyi's concern and care; belated affection was worthless.

She's past the stage where she needs them.

"Cui Jingru also has a son."

Now that Liu Shuyi has already made things clear, Shen Qingyao has no intention of hiding it any longer.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuyi stiffened, a hint of panic on her face.

Could it be that one of her sons was switched by Shen Wenzhong and Cui Jingru?

Liu Shuyi's gaze shifted between Shen Yanting and Shen Yanming.

Shen Yanting and Shen Yanming's expressions changed simultaneously, and they both became somewhat flustered.

"Not them."

Shen Qingyao's words finally relieved Liu Shuyi, and also relieved Shen Yanting and Shen Yanming.

Thinking of Shen Yan, Liu Shuyi's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.

As for whether it was Shen Yanshi, Shen Qingyao didn't know. Shen Yanshi wasn't there, so she couldn't see if he and Cui Jingru were related.

"Weren't you told me to catch ghosts? Let's go take a look."

Shen Qingyao got up first and walked to the backyard, followed closely by Si Jingnian, and Liu Shuyi followed her in as well.

Shen Yanting hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed. Only Shen Yanming was too frightened to move when he thought of the female ghost's appearance.

"It's no use me going there, so I'll just wait for them here."

Shen Yanming muttered to himself, his face full of resistance at the thought of going to the backyard.

If Shen Yuanyuan hadn't suddenly found him and his older brother and said that Shen Qingyao was coming to catch the ghost, and that the Shen residence would no longer be haunted, he would never have come back to live there.

Just as Shen Yanming's face darkened and he was about to curse at the thought of Shen Yuanyuan, a white figure flashed past the front door.

Shen Yanming's pupils dilated instantly. He swallowed hard, trying to appear calm, then ran towards the backyard without saying a word, his face pale.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Shen Yanting glanced at Shen Yanming strangely and noticed his unpleasant expression, which puzzled him.

"I... I thought about it and decided to come and take a look anyway, it would be boring to bring it alone."

Shen Yanming forced a smile, suppressing his fear, and quietly walked in front of Shen Yanting, leaving him to cover their retreat.

Shen Yanting glanced at him irritably, not taking his reaction seriously.

But as they walked, Shen Yanting realized something was wrong. He was following closely behind Shen Yanming, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

"Shen Yanming? Mom? Qingyao?"

It was very quiet all around, as if he were the only living person in the entire house, and even the usual chirping of insects was gone.

Even if Shen Yanting were stupid, he would have sensed that something was wrong, and a huge panic instantly enveloped his heart.

Fortunately, he had spent many years working in the police force and had seen a lot of things, so he quickly calmed down and began to look for a breakthrough.

On the other side, Shen Yanming and the rest of the Shen family all encountered the same situation.

As soon as Shen Wenzhong pushed open the door and entered the room, he felt his hair stand on end and as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He quickly realized what had happened and hurriedly went outside to find someone.

However, Shen Wenzhong searched the entire Shen residence but couldn't find a single living person.

His expression began to show uncontrollable fear, and his lips trembled incessantly.

Just then, he saw a figure push open a door and come out of a room. The figure seemed to be holding something in his arms, and he hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait a minute... I'm asking you, where have all the people in the manor gone?"

However, the figure had its head down so its face was obscured, and it completely ignored him, passing straight through his body.

"Am I...am I dead? Why...he...he passed right through my body?"

Unable to accept his own death, Shen Wenzhong frantically chased after the figure.

He followed the figure to the back gate of the Shen residence, then opened the door and let in a woman who was also holding something in her arms.

When Shen Wenzhong saw the woman, he was instantly terrified and his eyes widened.

Under Shen Wenzhong's horrified gaze, the figure handed the item in his arms to the woman.

The woman then handed the package she was carrying to the figure.

The woman opened the package, revealing a newborn baby sleeping soundly with a contented smile on its face.

The woman left with the child in her arms, and the figure carrying the bundle slowly turned around.

This scene, so eerily familiar, caused Shen Wenzhong's expression to change repeatedly.

The figure slowly raised its head, revealing a face that sent chills down Shen Wenzhong's spine.

That was Shen Wenzhong in his youth, his face full of madness and calculation.

Just as Shen Wenzhong was shaking his head repeatedly, trying to get rid of the scene in front of him, the younger Shen Wenzhong slowly met his gaze, and then grinned sinisterly.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Shen Wenzhong shouted and ran away, but he couldn't escape the Shen mansion no matter what he did. It was as if he had entered a maze and couldn't find a way out. He could only run around aimlessly like a headless fly.

He turned around and saw a young Shen Wenzhong holding a child, grinning at him eerily. He had no choice but to continue running for his life.

At the same time, Shen Yuanyuan also fell into an illusion.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself transformed into a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Before she could figure it out, a little girl about her age led a group of adults and burst through the door.

"Mom, she's the one who bullied me, and she even cursed at me."

As soon as the little girl came in, she pointed at Shen Yuanyuan with a wronged expression and accused her, causing a stir among the adults.

"How rude!"

"He's so vicious at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?"

"Yes! He's so old and still doesn't know any better. He's such an ingrate."

"She should be driven away."

"..."

A group of people launched a cacophony of attacks against Shen Yuanyuan, leaving her no room to defend herself.

The scene shifts, and Shen Yuanyuan sees the little girl again. She smiles sinisterly, raises the knife, and slashes a large wound on her arm. Blood drips onto the ground and bursts open, like a splash of a small red flower.

"Ah...Mom, help! She's going to kill me! Please save me!"

Before Shen Yuanyuan could react, the girl had already started shouting.

A group of adults rushed in again and hurriedly took the injured little girl to the hospital.

But a large group of adults stayed behind and took turns criticizing and scolding her.

How could you be so vicious?

"Why did you take a knife and attack her? You're a monster."

Looking at the people pointing at her and spitting and cursing, Shen Yuanyuan felt a sharp pain in her heart for some reason, and instinctively wanted to explain.

"No...it wasn't me...it was her, she cut herself with a knife."

However, Shen Yuanyuan's explanation only earned her a slap and even harsher accusations.

"He even lied; he's beyond redemption."

"Exactly! She's only five years old. How could she possibly hurt herself like that? If you're going to lie, at least make it believable!"

"If a child can lie so easily at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?"
