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

“She’s a born bad seed, kick her out.”

"She dared to kill someone at such a young age. She'll probably be a murderer when she grows up. It's better to put her in jail now to prevent her from harming others in the future."

"..."

Shen Yuanyuan cried and shook her head in denial, trying loudly to defend herself, but no one was willing to believe her.

The oppressive atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe. She turned around to run away, only to find that there were people all around her, and everyone was pointing at her, spitting and cursing.

On the other side, Cui Jingru was also trapped in a hallucination, her eyes closed as she waved her hands frantically, trying to drive away the evil spirits in front of her.

But her actions had no effect. The next moment, she gripped her own neck tightly, refusing to let go even as her eyes rolled back.

But in Cui Jingru's eyes, it was as if a demon was tightly gripping her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

She tried desperately to pry open those hands that felt like steel, but to no avail; she was forced to hold her breath.

Finally, as Cui Jingru's hands fell to her sides and her eyes slowly closed, she collapsed unconscious.

Shen Yanting and Liu Shuyi were no exception; they also encountered different illusions and struggled within them.

But Liu Shuyi was an exception. Even when she was trapped in the illusion, she remained indifferent and despairing as she watched everything around her constantly changing.

Apart from her still tearful eyes, it was almost impossible to see any emotion in her.

In the end, Liu Shuyi burst into tears, pounding her chest as she cried, shouting, "I was wrong!"

Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian coldly observed the different reactions of the Shen family members, showing no intention whatsoever of helping them break free from the illusion.

The spirit of the book floated obediently to the side, and yin energy kept emanating from her body, then split into several strands and floated into the bodies of the Shen family members.

Since Shen Qingyao didn't say to stop, she didn't dare to pause at all, for fear that Shen Qingyao would get angry and refuse to send her into reincarnation.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingyao put down her teacup and finally turned her gaze to the Shen family.

"Book Spirit, I will now send you into reincarnation."

Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's words, Shuling's face instantly lit up with a delighted smile, and her eyes began to shine.

"Really? Thank you, Master!"

Shen Qingyao didn't speak, but quickly made a hand seal and clasped her hands together, and began chanting a spell.

Shuling felt that the yin energy in her body was decreasing and her body was becoming lighter.

She panicked for a moment, but then she realized that it would be easy for Shen Qingyao to make her soul disappear, and it wouldn't be that complicated, so she calmed down.

Gradually, the spirit of the book faded more and more, until it disappeared completely.

At the same time, the Shen family members gradually awoke from the illusion.

Everyone reacted differently; some were happy to realize they had escaped the illusion.

Some were still so immersed in the illusion that they couldn't extricate themselves, and ran out as soon as they woke up.

There were also people crying, people staring blankly, and one lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless.

"Qingyao, I'm sorry! Mom doesn't deserve to be forgiven, I'm so sorry!"

Liu Shuyi covered her face and cried bitterly. This time, she did not beg for Shen Qingyao's forgiveness again, but just cried silently.

Shen Yanting's gaze fell unnaturally on Shen Qingyao, and when he met her eyes, he looked away guiltily, like a child who had done something wrong.

Shen Yanming kept confirming that he was unharmed and that the people around him were his relatives and family, not evil spirits.

Shen Wenzhong had long since disappeared, still shouting "Get out of here, get out of here!"

Shen Yuanyuan sat there blankly, her eyes gradually filled with overwhelming hatred. When she looked up, her gaze fell into Shen Qingyao's eyes.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao was looking at her, Shen Yuanyuan sneered, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

"Hahaha... Shen Qingyao, your little tricks won't fool me. I won't regret everything I've done to you. I only hate that I was too indecisive. If I had known this would happen, I should have just killed you."

"Once you die, everything will be fake, and everything will be as if it never happened."

Shen Yuanyuan stared at Shen Qingyao as if she were insane, uttering malicious words.

After speaking, Shen Yuanyuan stood up and glanced at the stone beside her, a fierce killing intent flashing in her eyes.

While Shen Qingyao's gaze fell on Cui Jingru, whose fate was unknown, Shen Yuanyuan quickly picked up a stone, raised her hands, and rushed towards Shen Qingyao.

When Liu Shuyi saw Shen Yuanyuan rushing towards Shen Qingyao with a large rock, she didn't have time to think and quickly stepped in front of Shen Qingyao to block her.

Shen Yuanyuan screamed as Si Jingnian kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying backward. The stone hit the ground with a dull thud.

At this moment, everyone realized what Shen Yuanyuan was up to, and they looked at her with a mixture of surprise and hatred.

Shen Qingyao's gaze fell on Liu Shuyi, her eyes filled with an unfathomable emotion.

She actually saw Shen Yuanyuan's actions and knew what she wanted to do, but she didn't panic.

Because she knew that Si Jingnian would subdue Shen Yuanyuan immediately, she couldn't possibly harm herself under Si Jingnian's nose.

Even if things go wrong, she can easily evade and subdue Shen Yuanyuan.

She just didn't expect that Liu Shuyi would immediately and without hesitation stand in front of her.

However, Liu Shuyi's gaze was fixed on Shen Yuanyuan at the moment, and she did not notice Shen Qingyao's complicated expression.

"Shen Yuanyuan, why are you so vicious? You actually tried to kill Qingyao! I've raised you and taught you for over twenty years, how come I couldn't get rid of your bad habits?"

"I raised you for over twenty years, not expecting you to remember my kindness, only hoping you would stop targeting Qingyao, but you are so vicious, truly beyond redemption!"

Liu Shuyi's tone was one of disgust and anger, and her gaze towards Shen Yuanyuan no longer held any of the kindness and warmth she once had.

Shen Yuanyuan clutched the bucket, writhing on the ground in pain, her brows furrowed and her face contorted in agony.

Shen Yuanyuan was deeply hurt by Liu Shuyi's words, her eyes filled with panic and sadness.

She had indeed known about her background since childhood, and apart from trying to please Liu Shuyi and acting, she didn't have much genuine mother-daughter affection for her.

But now, seeing her protecting Shen Qingyao so fiercely and speaking ill of her, her heart still felt heavy and aching.

Jealousy surged wildly in her heart once again, and hatred almost consumed her entire being.

"I...I was wrong, Mom...I was wrong, please don't abandon me..."

Shen Yuanyuan was barely breathing; the pain made it difficult for her to even speak. It took her a long time to recover before she managed to get up despite the pain.

But her pitiful appearance did not elicit Liu Shuyi's sympathy as usual.

"Mom, don't believe her."

Shen Yanming grabbed Liu Shuyi and looked at Shen Yuanyuan with disgust and hostility for the first time in his life.

Liu Shuyi pried Shen Yanming's hand away, her expression cold, and slowly walked up to Shen Yuanyuan.
