Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Seeing that her younger brother still showed no remorse, Shen Chunyu felt utterly exhausted.

“Shen Jianbing, that woman was a concubine in the Emperor’s harem before. She comes from a very prominent family, and even the Master doesn’t dare to offend her. You’re in big trouble this time. Our whole family will be implicated and die because of you.”

Shen Chunyu had never hated her younger brother as much as she did today.

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother took a step back in fright, her face turning pale.

Shen Jianbing still didn't believe Shen Chunyu's words and said loudly, "Impossible, impossible. If her status is really so noble, why does she only have one maid by her side?"

As if grasping at a sliver of hope, Shen's mother grabbed Shen Chunyu's hand tightly and asked, "Daughter, are you mistaken? Just like your brother said, that girl is of noble status, a concubine of the emperor's harem. How could she be here? And without any guards by her side?"

Shen's mother was far away on the border and did not know that the emperor had dismissed the harem, so when she heard that Yu Nuan was a concubine, she would not be alone here.

“Mother, I heard it with my own ears and saw it with my own eyes. Even someone as noble as His Highness Prince Yan treated that woman with utmost respect. How could he be wrong? Furthermore, when His Highness Prince Yan heard that my brother had flirted with her last night, he immediately ordered an investigation into my brother’s past misdeeds.”

Finally, Shen's mother lost all hope. She sat in the chair, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what to do.

"Sister, you must save me! I'm your own brother!" Shen Jianbing finally felt fear. The things he had done before couldn't withstand investigation. If he were discovered, he would definitely die. So Shen Jianbing grabbed Shen Chunyu and begged her desperately.

"What can I do?" Shen Chunyu cried out in fear, she had no other options.

"Oh, right, and brother-in-law too. Sister, you should ask him. He dotes on you so much, he'll definitely listen to you."

Looking at her brother, who had fallen into madness, Shen Chunyu felt utterly desperate and said, "It's no use. This time, it was the master who investigated. He will deal with it severely for the sake of his official position."

"What should we do? What should we do?" Shen's mother was in a complete mess, and could only mutter this one sentence.

The soldiers arrived quickly, and in less than half a day, they had investigated all of Shen Jianbing's deeds. The military governor was furious to see that Shen Jianbing had done so many things in his name and ordered him to be thrown into hell and executed on a later date.

Shen Jianbing was forcibly dragged away from the bed by the soldiers. His mother cried and begged for mercy from behind, but it was no use.

After seeing her beloved son being taken away, Shen's mother could only place her hopes on Shen Chunyu, and pleaded tearfully, "Daughter, please go back and beg your son-in-law to release your brother."

"Mother, I am just a lowly concubine, how could I possibly influence the master's decision?"

The favor she had received over the years had not only made Shen Chunyu forget her own status, but even her mother had forgotten that her daughter was just a minor concubine by the side of the military governor, and without the military governor's favor, she was nothing.

That evening, Shen Chunyu was worried that her mother hadn't returned home. The next day, she went back to the governor's mansion and saw the steward waiting for her at the door, holding a package in his hand.

Shen Chunyu walked forward curiously, but the butler handed it to her.

"Butler Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

"The master has decreed that from now on, the madam will no longer be a member of the military governor's household."

"Why? It's impossible! Master wouldn't be so cruel to me!" Shen Chunyu refused to believe that her master would abandon her and cried as she tried to find him, but was stopped by two guards.

"Madam, the master has already shown mercy out of consideration for our past relationship. Otherwise, the death of a concubine in the manor would not attract any attention."

After the butler finished speaking, he gestured to the people beside him. Once they understood the butler's meaning, several guards stepped forward and threw Shen Chunyu outside the mansion, then closed the gate.

Looking at the closed door, Shen Chunyu was filled with sorrow.

Shen Chunyu sat outside the door for an unknown amount of time, but the governor did not soften his heart. Finally, as night fell, Shen Chunyu had no choice but to return to the Shen residence.

When Shen's mother heard that her daughter had been abandoned by the military governor, she could no longer bear the blow and fainted.

Shen Chunyu couldn't even be bothered with her grief anymore. She quickly sent someone to find a doctor. In the past two days, Shen Chunyu felt like she had endured all the suffering of her life. But what she didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of her tragic life.

"Later, my brother was executed, and my mother couldn't bear the blow and fell ill in bed. Those people my brother had bullied before, seeing that I had been abandoned by the master, began to take revenge on us. All the money in our house was robbed, and some thugs harassed us at the door every day. Miss Jiang, I really can't go on living."

"To be honest, Shen Chunyu, you, your brother, and the Shen family have all brought this upon yourselves. If you had stepped in to stop your brother from bullying others, none of this would have happened."

Yu Nuan felt no pity for the Shen family's current predicament. Without the indulgence of Shen's mother and Shen Chunyu, Shen Jianbing wouldn't have been able to commit so many evil deeds. Because of Shen Jianbing, countless families were destroyed, and countless young women suffered at his hands.

Yu Nuan's blunt words left Shen Chunyu speechless. Before this, she could still deceive herself into believing that she was innocent and that it was all her brother's fault.

Shen Chunyu shed tears of regret and muttered to herself, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't stepped in to settle things for Shen Jianbing when he was bullying others, would none of this have happened? And I wouldn't have been disliked by the master."

But now no one is giving her an answer.

“Miss Jiang.” Shen Chunyu wiped away her tears and looked at Yu Nuan seriously, saying, “Miss Jiang, you are right. All of this is what I deserve. I have decided to use the remaining money in my family to compensate the people my brother hurt before. No matter how much compensation I receive, it may not be enough to make up for the harm done to them, but doing this will make me feel better.”

Shen Chunyu wanted to atone for her brother's sins, and also for her own. Previously, Shen Chunyu didn't know what Shen Jianbing had been doing outside, until recently, when an elderly couple came to her door. Looking at the dilapidated Shen mansion, they said with great resentment, "Serves him right. Heaven has eyes and has finally taken care of that wicked child."

After saying this, unlike others, they did not rob the house; instead, the couple hugged each other and cried.

Curious, Shen Chunyu inquired and learned that the couple had finally had a daughter, a child born late in life, whom they doted on. She was pretty and lovely. One day, while strolling on the street, Shen Jianbing saw her and had his cronies kidnap her and forcibly take her. The girl couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide by jumping into a river after returning home. Her parents, heartbroken, wanted revenge, but because Shen Jianbing had a powerful brother-in-law, no one could seek justice for her. A happy and fulfilling family was thus destroyed by Shen Jianbing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chunyu was also outraged by her brother's beastly behavior.

As she reached the door, Shen Chunyu suddenly turned back and said to Yu Nuan, "Miss Jiang, I came to see you today hoping to gain your sympathy, beg for your forgiveness, and then let me return to Master's side."

Yu Nuan didn't know what to say after hearing this, but in the end, she softened and gave Shen Chunyu some advice: "Shen Chunyu, in this life, it's always better to rely on yourself than on others."

Shen Chunyu understood Yu Nuan's meaning and smiled with relief. With a goal in mind, Shen Chunyu felt more relaxed than ever before.
