The words that came out of the mouth of a half-grown child were exceptionally spicy. It was truly shocking.

Old Madame Shen could not help but change her expression. Shen Xiulian was still screaming and cursing. Mrs Feng looked at the crazy Shu girl and thought of what her daughter had just said. She fearfully hugged her. She looked at her mother-in-law and saw the surprise in her eyes. Xiuying's eyes flashed as she said to Shen Xiulian, "I won't die. If you have the ability to push me down the fake mountain again, then do you want to push me down the lake!"

"You deserve to die! If you scratch my face, I won't let you go! You won't be so lucky as to have people protecting you everyday! " As expected, Shen Xiulian was so agitated that she couldn't find the right words to say.

Old Madame Shen was so shocked that she slammed her hand on the table. The jade bracelet on her wrist slammed into the corner of the table, shattering into two pieces before falling to the ground and breaking into pieces. "Shut up!"

Everyone looked at the broken bracelet on the floor, their eyebrows jumping. The old lady was truly angry.

Shen Xiulian also recovered from her shock. In her panic, she remembered what she had just said and her face turned pale. Xiuying hugged Mrs Feng's waist, silently pulling at the corners of her mouth as she laughed.

It was fortunate that Shen Xiulian was only seven years old. She had revealed her true nature with just a bit of provocation. If she was a bit older, she wouldn't have gotten it so easily.

Old Madame Shen looked at her granddaughter with an extremely sharp gaze.

Just now, this granddaughter wasn't like this when she was talking to her. She was delicate and weak, always calling her grandmother. She was scared, and the moment she talked about her youngest son falling down, she began to tremble. It had only been a short while, yet her every word was asking her eldest granddaughter to die, a seven-year-old child … Why would he say such vicious words? It was as if he really wanted his granddaughter to die.

Although Old Madame Shen was old, it didn't mean that she was muddle-headed.

She wanted to punish Xiuying, but most of it was because she pitied her little son for suffering so much, and also because she thought that the child was the most honest. As she thought about it, her gaze landed on Shen Xiulian, who was by her side. That little girl's words were firm, and her gaze immediately became colder. This made her face, which had experienced countless years of baptism, seem so majestic that no one dared to look at her.

"Tie this girl up and interrogate her properly!"

As soon as the sentence ended, Mama Qi stepped forward. The little girl was already slumped on the ground. When she was lifted up, she remembered to beg for mercy.

The little girl's cries for help gradually faded away. Shen Xiulian knew that she had caused a huge disaster and was so frightened that her entire body trembled. This time, it wasn't an act, it was true fear.

Mrs Feng felt a lingering fear in her heart as she watched this scene. If it wasn't for her daughter being wronged and losing her sense of propriety, then it was her daughter who was suffering. Thinking of the heartless words of the concubine, her gentle face sunk as well, and her eyes became cold and threatening.

"Mother." Mrs Feng shouted in a low voice, "Although Ying'er can be naughty at times, but you definitely can't use Third Uncle, who loves her the most, to tease her, much less throw her off the fake mountain. This time, mother should have asked clearly, and Ying'er should still be innocent. "

She had said these words a few times just now. She couldn't stand her mother-in-law praising her brother-in-law, and she was so angry that she wanted to punish her daughter if she trusted him. Even though she was the one in charge of the family, she wasn't powerful enough to suppress her mother-in-law. Mrs Feng also hated herself for being useless.

The words of her daughter-in-law caused Old Madame Shen's old face to turn hot. She knew that she had been untrusting, but that was also out of anger. And to this eldest daughter-in-law of hers … He was always less confident.

"I'll find out later. I was wrong about little girl Ying Ying. I apologize to her." Old Madame Shen's tone softened as she looked at her eldest granddaughter, who was still hugging her mother.

Mrs Feng shook her head. "It's all your fault. Someone was just scheming. It was also his wife's fault for not teaching him well."

Shen Xiulian's face turned even paler when she heard her mother's words. Her mother was not going to let her off easily. This meant that she wanted her grandmother to not be too biased.

She looked nervously at Old Madame Shen, her eyes full of pleading. Old Madame Shen looked at her doting second granddaughter and thought of her niece aunt. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you find out what you need to do, you can do it."

Mrs Feng finally got what she wanted, and her expression eased up slightly as she nodded.

It wasn't that she couldn't take advantage of a concubine, but that Shen Xiulian's aunt had a special background. She was Old Madame Shen's mother's niece. If she didn't take advantage of her, she would have married Master Shen. After he entered the door, this Cousin Cui from Master Shen's childhood sweetheart, could only be a concubine. She had forced Old Madame Shen to speak because she was afraid that she would once again use her selfish thoughts and forgive Shen Xiulian.

Thinking about how biased this mother and son pair at Shen Family were, Mrs Feng sneered in her heart. So what? They would always owe her as long as she was in the family, and they would always have to consider their actions.

Shen Xiulian knew that she had really died. She stood there in a daze, forgetting about the pain on her face. Xiuying's flapping caused her new dress to be covered in dust, and her bun had also scattered. She was no longer in a sorry state, not even looking like a girl from the Shangguan family.

Moments later, Mama Qi came back. That girl was telling the truth. It was indeed not Xiuying who was messing with the Third Master. It was the Second Miss who was playing with the girl.

Although there was still the suspicion of avoiding important matters, these words were enough.

Mrs Feng had already been told by Old Madame Shen to sit down and wait. At this time, she slowly sipped her tea and said, "That bold and reckless girl beat twenty big boards to sell. As for taking pity on the girl, I'll punish her as my mother previously said. "Oh, it's my fault that I'm unable to enter the ancestral hall. I should just kneel outside. Uncle can wake up at any time, so I won't be able to wake up again."

"..." Grandmother! " Shen Xiulian wailed in grief as tears welled up in her eyes and she kneeled on the ground.

Old Madame Shen had wronged her granddaughter when she had spoken in front of so many people. At this moment, she could only turn her head away from Shen Xiulian, whose eyes were filled with tears. She had to comfort Mrs Feng.

Very soon, Shen Xiulian was called over by Mrs Feng. Since it was a matter of life and death, Mrs Feng didn't want to stay here any longer. She stood up to leave. When she went to hold Xiuying's hand, Xiuying remained still. The pink girl raised her head and said, "Mother, I want to stay and wait for Third Uncle to wake up."

Mrs Feng looked at her daughter's fair face and those peach blossom eyes were very similar to hers. Looking at you now, her eyes were filled with anticipation. She turned her head and saw the shock on her mother-in-law's face. After some hesitation, she said, "You, Third Uncle, need to rest. You will disturb him."

"Mother, don't worry. I will just quietly wait at the side." Xiuying said, "Third Uncle saved me. If it's not him, then it's his daughter who's lying down. She should be waiting on the side for me." When she saw her mother that she hadn't seen for a long time, she also wanted to stay by her side, but Third Uncle was very important to her.

In her previous life, her mother strangely refused to move to the capital with everyone. Furthermore, she died when she was 14. If it wasn't for Third Uncle constantly giving her advice, her situation would have been even more miserable. Now that she was eight years old, she still had a lot of time to plan things out. Perhaps it could prevent her mother from dying early, so in the future, she would properly protect her mother. In her previous life, she had been taken care of too much by Third Uncle. Now that she took advantage of this opportunity, she might be able to repay some favors.

Mrs Feng went silent as she listened. She felt as if her daughter had instantly grown up and understood how to feel sorry for someone.

His brother-in-law had indeed always taken good care of his daughter. Perhaps it was because he was only six years younger than her that he had watched his daughter grow up. She lifted her hand to stroke the top of Xiuying's head. With happiness and gratification in her eyes, she said, "Alright. Remember not to make a ruckus."

With his mother's permission, Xiuying squinted her eyes and smiled. Then, she used her gaze to ask Old Madame Shen. Old Madame Shen was quite familiar with her eldest granddaughter's wisdom. She immediately nodded and led her into the inner room.

Mrs Feng watched as the silhouettes of the elderly man and the young girl disappeared before turning around and returning to her own courtyard. As for Aunt Cui, she knew the news about Shen Xiulian being punished to kneel before her.
