Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Pingxiu had lost his official position because he was raising his mistress. Now that he had to rely on Madam Chen for food and clothes, he naturally did not dare to disobey her.
He immediately straightened his back and glared at Shen Yijia. He said unhappily, “How can you speak to your mother like that?”
At this time, it was time for the servants of the various families to go out to buy groceries. In just a short while, a few onlookers surrounded them.
Madam Chen said, “Master, don’t say that about Second Girl. I’m fine. As long as Second Girl can ask her son-in-law to plead for Yun’er, I’ll…”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and suddenly shouted sadly, “Mother!”
Madam Chen and Shen Pingxiu were so frightened that they hugged each other and staggered back a few steps.
When she reacted, Madam Chen quickly pushed Shen Pingxiu away and looked at Shen Yijia in surprise. “Second Girl, you finally acknowledge me as…”
“Mother!” Shen Yijia stretched out a hand in the sky in an exaggerated manner. “Did you see that? These two people who caused your death are bullying your daughter again. Mother, you’re in heaven. Don’t let them off. You have to make them pay with their lives.”
“What? You’ve been watching from the sky? You’re going to look for them at night? You won’t let them off? Really?” Shen Yijia was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes. “Mother, you’re the best.”
Madam Chen was speechless.
Shen Pingxiu was speechless.
The onlookers were speechless.
“Second Girl, what nonsense are you talking about?” Madam Chen almost couldn’t maintain the expression on her face.
Shen Yijia turned serious in a second and waved her hand. “Stop. My mother just told me that if you have anything to say, just tell her when she comes to look for you tonight.”
“Stop pretending to be crazy. Let me ask you, your sister has been imprisoned by Lord Jing. Are you going to save her or not?”
Even though Shen Yijia had dealt with him a few times, Shen Pingxiu still felt an inexplicable sense of superiority towards her. Perhaps he felt that Shen Yijia’s life was something he gave to her.
Shen Yijia pinched her fingers and crossed her arms. “Then I’ll only say one
The onlookers were amused.
It was said that filial piety was the most important thing. Shen Yijia’s attitude towards her biological father was actually out of line. However, after thinking about how the Shen family had slandered Shen Yijia in court, they felt that it was normal.
Shen Pingxiu flushed with agitation. “You!”
‘Master!” Madam Chen interrupted him with a scream. Her red nails dug into her flesh. If not for the fact that the Chen family was in a hurry to separate themselves from Lord Jing and couldn’t show up, she wouldn’t have come to beg this b*tch.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Second Girl, we were wrong in the past. I apologize to you here.”
As she spoke, she bowed to Shen Yijia and continued, “But there’s definitely no such thing as harming your mother. Is there a misunderstanding?”
Shen Yijia frowned and asked, “Shen Ruyun was implicated and imprisoned?”
Madam Chen thought that she had relented, and her eyes turned red. She nodded. “Second Girl, you know that your big sister could never take hardship since she was young.”
“That’s not right.” Shen Yijia shook her head and muttered, “Then why weren’t the two of you arrested together?”
Consort Jing’s family should have been implicated.
Madam Chen paused. A tear had just welled up in her eye, and she looked even more pitiful than before.
Shen Yijia thought about it seriously and suddenly understood. “Did they forget about you because your family doesn’t have an official position?” Shen Pingxiu was speechless.
As a matter of fact, that was what he thought too. There were too many officials involved in Lord Jing’s rebellion. The Shen family had no status, so the higher-ups probably didn’t care about them at all.
Shen Yijia was speechless. She had something to do with Shen Pingxiu losing his position. In that case, she had saved their lives. She regretted it a little.
“No, how can those people be so negligent?” Shen Yijia clenched her right fist and slapped her left palm. She had to correct her mistake. She decided to correct it and said generously, “Don’t worry, I’ll tell my husband now. Those who escaped still need to be caught, right? When the time comes, you don’t have to beg me. You’ll naturally be able to see Shen Ruyun after entering the prison.”
“Unfilial daughter, how dare you!” Shen Pingxiu was anxious. They were here to ask Shen Yijia for help, not to send them to prison together!
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and instructed in a certain direction, “Lock the door.”
Soon, the sound of a bolt moving could be heard from inside the door. Shen Yijia pushed it and confirmed that the door was locked. She clapped her hands. “I’m going out now. Hurry home and wait for the soldiers to bring you to meet Shen Ruyun..”
