Chapter 182 The truth within the truth
"Shufen, did you send someone to arrange the oleander in Wutong Courtyard?"
When Shen's mother heard this, her expression changed instantly. It seemed that she had really discovered something fishy.
"The daughter-in-law doesn't know what her mother is talking about, and the daughter-in-law doesn't know what oleander is."
Jiang Sujin: "It doesn't matter if Madam Shen doesn't admit it. The person in charge is being questioned. I believe the truth will be revealed soon."
Shen's mother: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Anyway, I don't know anything. Now that I have become like this, if you really want to frame me, it would be too easy."
Jiang Sujin: "You refuse to admit the matter of Wutong Courtyard, but the courtyards of the two concubines are full of oleanders. You can't deny it even if you want to."
Shen's mother: "They have oleander there, what does it have to do with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, three concubines came in together. Two of them looked extremely unhappy.
Just now, the eldest son sent people to their yard and pulled out all the oleander plants.
The two aunts thought about it and decided that something was definitely wrong, so they called the third aunt and went to the old lady's yard.
The eldest lady has been bullying them for the past few years. They just wanted to get by, but who knew she would be so vicious.
Third Aunt: "Madam, you can't deny this even if you want to, because when I asked the servants to pull out those oleanders, you tried your best to stop me."
"I remember clearly that you said you had people plant those oleanders in the yard. You said that oleanders represent good luck. If I pull them out, it will violate the feng shui of the Shen Mansion."
"Now it seems that you wanted to make me infertile, so you insisted on planting those dirty things in my yard."
Mother Shen stared at the Third Aunt, her face livid as she said, "Bitch, stop talking nonsense here. How could this lady have said such things?"
Third Aunt: "I swear to heaven that if I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
As soon as she finished speaking, the second and third aunts knelt on the ground.
The Second Aunt said with tears in her eyes, "Madam, I became the master's concubine at a young age and have served him for more than 20 years. I wanted to have more children for the Shen family, but now I have ended up alone and helpless."
"Although the first lady is the principal wife, she shouldn't control the master's offspring, and she shouldn't cause me to lose my fertility."
"I remember clearly that when I was working there, there were no oleanders in that yard. After the master gave me a status, there were suddenly many oleanders in that yard."
"The eldest lady has always been in charge of the internal affairs of our courtyard. Everything we should and shouldn't have in our courtyard must be approved by her."
"If it was an accident that there were oleanders in my yard, why did the third and fourth concubines also have oleanders in their yards? I really don't believe that this was a coincidence. This was not done by the first lady."
Mother Shen's face was covered with beads of sweat at this moment, but even so, she still spoke stubbornly.
"I didn't do it, and I don't know what you are talking about. Don't gang up on me and bully me just because I am like this now."
Jiang Sujin: "Mrs. Shen is really stubborn. The two concubines have had oleander in their courtyards for more than ten years. I didn't come to the Shen Mansion at that time. How could I have set up this trap with the three concubines?"
"Besides, who would risk their entire life just to wait for you to fall into this situation before harming you?"
Third Aunt: "Madam, when my son was born, he had a loud voice, but he died in a moment. I suspect this incident is also related to Madam."
Upon hearing this, Shen's mother couldn't help but yelled at her: "Don't talk nonsense, I wasn't there when you gave birth to that child."
The Third Aunt: "But my midwife was arranged by Madam. If Madam wants to bribe the midwife and let her harm my son, it is a simple matter."
Upon hearing this, Shen's mother was so angry that she picked up the tea bowl and threw it at the third aunt: "You bitch, get out of here!"
Third Aunt: "I only want the truth." As she said this, she knelt on the ground with a plop.
Old Madam Shen looked at Mother Shen with a sullen face. When Mother Shen saw Old Madam Shen's expression, her whole demeanor dropped instantly.
Madam Shen: "Shufen, you really disappoint me."
When Shen's mother heard this, tears suddenly fell.
Then she slid off the chair and fell to the ground.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law is the legitimate wife of the Shen family. She is also pregnant with Feng'er. The Shen family has finally returned to the capital. If the Shen family divorces her at this time, the Shen family will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Shen family."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Changfeng rushed in angrily. At the same time, Shen Yanfeng also followed in.
"You bitch, I didn't realize you were so vicious."
As he said that, he walked straight up to her, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.
Mother Shen covered her face and cried, "Master, they are just framing me, please don't listen to them, okay?"
Jiang Sujin: "It's okay. Madam has two maids by her side. If we arrest them and torture them severely, I believe they will be able to confess everything that happened over the years."
When Shen's mother heard this, she stopped crying instantly. She couldn't be interrogated. If she was interrogated, all her past would be revealed by those maids.
Shen Changfeng: "Come here, arrest these two maids and torture them severely. Make sure they confess all the bad things they have done over the years."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants rushed in.
Upon seeing this, Shen's mother immediately sat up with her eyes wide open: "No, I admit it, they are all right, I did deliberately have someone plant oleander in their yard."
Third Aunt: "Did you instigate someone to kill my son?"
The fact that Shen's mother didn't say anything didn't mean she denied it.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng was so angry that he kicked her again: "You bitch, that's my own son."
Jiang Sujin: "Then did you deliberately send oleander to Wutong Courtyard?"
When Mother Shen heard this, her face instantly became even uglier. She knew that if she didn't admit it, Jiang Sujin would definitely have someone take the two maids away.
"I...I was confused for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng became so angry that he slapped her in the face and knocked her to the ground.
"You are so stupid! That's our grandson, and you didn't even let your own grandson go."
When Shen Yanfeng heard Shen's mother admit this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed with her.
Although he was not close to her, she was his mother after all, so he would be extra tolerant towards her.
He could never imagine that she could actually harm her child.
"Mom, you really disappoint me."
When Shen's mother heard this, her expression suddenly became even more guilty. She didn't expect to be discovered so soon.
Jiang Sujin: "Now that the truth has been revealed, the evildoers should receive the retribution they deserve."
