Chapter 170 Cursing
Chapter 170 Cursing
"Shen Qingyu, my Hong'er, where is Hong'er! Where is he!"
Bai Ying's face turned pale, and her voice began to tremble as she questioned him. "Shen Qingyu, you are so cruel. He is your own brother. How could you just abandon him on the mountain and not care about him? I know I have wronged you before, but can you return Hong'er to me, please?"
Bai Ying looked flustered and frightened, and her words were a little confusing. "Hong'er, mother was wrong. Come back and see mother."
"Mom, my brother is fine," Shen Qingyu raised her head and said firmly, "My brother will be back soon."
"Come back? Why come back?" Shen Xitong, who was sitting not far away, sneered, "Sister, Hong'er is only ten years old. You left him alone on the mountain. Are you trying to kill him?"
Shen Qingyu, let's see how you're going to explain to dad this time and ask him to come back. What a joke! Shen Youhong, that sickly guy, will probably come back as a corpse!
"Second Miss, where did you hide the eldest young master?" Aunt Liu also pressed the issue.
Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong seem to care about Shen Youhong at this time, but they are just taking this opportunity to stir up trouble.
Shen Qingyu sneered, "Just as Aunt Liu said, Hong'er is my biological brother, how could I harm him? But some people in the mansion, I don't know what their intentions are. Even though Hong'er is not dead, they can't wait to start Hong'er's funeral. A small rosewood coffin, white cloth and silk, I heard that they even invited a troupe to perform in the mansion for a few days."
Shen Qingyu's eyes became fierce, "You are doing this because you wish Hong'er would die sooner!"
Shen Qingyu's gaze was cold and murderous. Just one glance made Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong feel like thorns on their backs. A chill rose from the soles of their feet and they felt a little afraid.
Although it was Aunt Liu who took over Bai Ying's management of the affairs of the mansion, Shen Chuanhe tacitly agreed to prepare for Shen Youhong's funeral in advance. Now that Shen Qingyu had pointed it out in public, Shen Chuanhe looked embarrassed. This matter was indeed not handled properly, but the doctors all said that Shen Youhong would not survive. Anyway, the funeral had to be held sooner or later, and there was nothing wrong with Aunt Liu doing this.
"Sister, why are you making indirect accusations here? I think you are the one who wants Hong'er to die the most in the whole mansion."
Shen Xitong walked slowly to Bai Ying and said, "Mom, I remember my sister once complained to me that you only loved Hong'er and didn't care whether she lived or died. She said that one day she would make you regret it. Maybe she took Hong'er out of the house last night. She had planned it for a long time just to take revenge on you. Mom, no matter what excuses my sister uses to shirk this matter, don't believe it. She is lying to you."
Shen Xitong, you called her mother so affectionately, but don't you care that Aunt Liu is still around you at this time?
She was calm and decided not to engage in useless arguments with them. Shen Youhong's body was taken away by Nan Rongyan. As long as the Shen family couldn't find Shen Youhong, they would not be able to determine whether Shen Youhong was dead or not.
As long as Shen Youhong is not dead, Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong will be afraid, and she will have a chance to breathe.
"Who is your mother? You lowly creature born of an aunt, get the hell away from me!"
Bai Ying's cursing shocked everyone present. How could a lady who was always dignified and noble start swearing like a shrew?
Shen Qingyu was not that surprised. Bai Ying hated Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong to the point that she wished they were dead. Shen Xitong calling her mother, wasn't that just asking for humiliation?
In the past, Bai Ying was tolerant towards Shen Xitong for the sake of Shen Chuanhe. But now that Bai Ying has lost her mind because of Shen Youhong's matter, how could Bai Ying have a good face towards Shen Xitong?
But this time, the blow Bai Ying suffered was indeed not light.
In the past, no matter how angry she was, she would not scold Shen Xitong directly in front of Shen Chuanhe, but now, she not only scolded Shen Xitong, but also Aunt Liu.
Shen Xitong's face turned pale, Shen Chuanhe's face was also livid, although Aunt Liu smiled kindly, but her eyes were filled with hatred. Why are you so arrogant? In a few days, I will be Madam Shen, and Tong'er will be the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Your sickly son, who is ten years old and can't even recite the Three Character Classic, is a good-for-nothing waste even if he is not dead.
Bai Ying and Aunt Liu have been fighting in the mansion for more than ten years. One relies on the power of her mother's family, and the other relies on Shen Chuanhe's love. The two are evenly matched.
But now, Aunt Liu, who has a son, has long overshadowed Bai Ying. A prominent family like the Shen family, no matter how noble their status is, will still be neglected if they have no son. Even though Bai Ying, who is noble and conceited, has realized her situation today, as the legitimate daughter of the Bai family in Hejian Prefecture, how can she be willing to be trampled under the feet of Aunt Liu, the lowest illegitimate daughter of the Liu family? She does not want to bow her head in front of Aunt Liu.
But the reality is that Aunt Liu already has a son, Shen Youxing, and is now pregnant with another one for Shen Chuanhe. Once she gives birth to another son, Aunt Liu's position will be more stable. And she has no one to rely on except the seriously ill Shen Youhong.
Shen Chuanhe hasn't come to Bai Ying's room for several years. The so-called Madam Shen is just Madam Shen who is worshipped as a bodhisattva. Now Shen Chuanhe doesn't even let her take care of the affairs of the mansion.
Bai Ying usually has a lot of grievances, but being proud by nature, what she can't stand the most is being looked down upon. She pointed at Shen Xitong and scolded her. Even though Shen Chuanhe and Bai Ying have been married for more than ten years, this is the first time he has seen such a fierce and aggressive temper.
Shen Chuanhe was stunned for a moment, but after Bai Ying finished scolding Shen Xitong, she grabbed Shen Qingyu and said, "Tell me, where is your brother? Where did you take him?"
"Mom, my brother is doing well now."
From now on, he will be buried underground forever, no longer subject to the intrigues of the world, and no one will harm him again. Shen Qingyu's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Bai Ying. Her only brother was dead and would never come back.
“Madam, please let go of the Second Miss.” Lin Zhi saw Bai Ying’s abnormal expression and was so scared that she quickly pulled Bai Ying away. “Madam, she is the Second Miss, your biological daughter!”
"Second Miss, Madam is asking you a question, why don't you tell the truth?" Aunt Liu pretended to be kind to help Bai Ying, and turned to Shen Chuanhe and said, "Master, we can ignore the fact that the second miss left the house last night, but she lost the eldest young master, and this matter cannot be ignored. Although the second miss is the legitimate lady of the house, I can't stand what she did recently. Even if I offend the second miss now, I have to speak out. The second miss ruined the reputation of our Shen family as soon as she left the house. The Master has fallen from grace, and now the entire Jinling Mansion is ridiculed behind his back. Also, at Madam Nanrong's birthday banquet, she relied on her status as a legitimate daughter to snatch Tong'er's poems and paintings, making it impossible for Tong'er to marry into the Nanrong family. And last night, the Second Miss went even further and left the First Young Master alone in Yuntai Mountain. Master, you have to make a decision for Tong'er and the First Young Master. If you don't punish the Second Miss severely, I'm afraid that the Second Miss will harm our Xing'er next time, Master..."
