Chapter 197: Each and every one of these things is enough to kill him hundreds of times

"He's been in the military for years, so his voice is inevitably louder and he speaks more bluntly. This is indeed a bad habit. Ask him to change it later. Don't think too much about it."

Shen Chuchu nodded, she knew that her eldest brother loved her.

But she had no idea whether her elder brother liked Rong'er or not. After all, Rong'er was Shang Yu's daughter, and her elder brother hated Shang Yu very much.

In fact, she had regretted countless times during these years of marrying far away, regretting why she did not listen to her elder brother and had to leave her hometown and relatives for a man.

But what’s the use of regret?

There is no medicine for regret in this world. She has chosen a path and will continue to walk on it even if she has to kneel.

"Brother, I have missed you so much over the years."

Thinking of the things that happened before she got married, Shen Chuchu's nose felt sore and she couldn't help crying.

It is said that the eldest brother is like a father. Her parents passed away when she was a few years old, and it was her brother and sister-in-law who raised her and Azhan. He truly fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and brother.

It’s her fault. I’m sorry, brother.

"Oh, if you miss me, why haven't you come back in all these years?"

Shen Yuanhong laughed coldly, feeling both sorry for her and a little disappointed in her.

Looking at her complexion now, one can tell that she has had a very hard time these years, but she has never said it in a letter, nor has she asked anyone for help from him, and has never come back.

She knew clearly that if she just told him that she was not doing well, he and Lao Qi would definitely take her back even if they had to destroy the business, but she didn't.

The power he gained at the cost of his life was to protect his family, but she didn't need his protection. Did she really regard him as her elder brother?

"I was wrong, it's all my fault..."

Shen Chuchu bit her lip and cried softly, and Madam Shen quickly hugged her in her arms to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's good that you're back. Your eldest brother is just being stubborn. In fact, he has been thinking about you all these years and has been waiting for you to come pick you up as you said in your letter."

"You don't know, every time he receives a letter from you, he feels both happy and disappointed..."

Shen Chuchu is not stupid, and because of this, she feels even more guilty.

She cried for a long time until she was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Dinner time.

Shang Rong was next to Shen Chuchu, and Shen Rui was next to Shen Yaoxing.

Chen Yaoxing didn't eat much himself, but he picked up a lot of food for Chen Rui. As the second son of the Duke's Mansion, he was very capable in taking care of children.

Completely unaware that her thoughts had been heard, Chen Wan was still happily calculating.

[There are so many dishes, my mother and the others definitely won't be able to finish them. They'll definitely have to feed the dogs.]

[At that time, I released my spiritual power and swept away the smell.]

This sound...

Shen Chuchu saw that the rest of the eldest brother looked normal. What was going on?

Is she the only one who can hear it?

Shen Chuchu recalled what the little baby voice said in her mind, and suddenly looked in the direction of Shen Wan. An idea that made her feel like a fairy tale emerged in her mind.

If you keep talking, you won’t have to eat dinner tonight.

Now, she can be very sure that the baby voice belongs to Xiaowaner.

It’s so strange, how could she hear Xiao Waner talking?

"Brother, sister-in-law, did you hear any strange noises?"

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Shen Chuchu raised her head, looked at Shen Yuanhong and Madam Shen, and asked tentatively.

Madam Shen turned her head to look at Shen Yuanhong, smiled slightly, and said, "What strange sound? I didn't hear anything, what about you, husband?"

"Well, I didn't hear it either."

The others were busy eating, pretending I didn't hear anything.

Shen Yuanhong nodded in agreement and then buried his head in his work.

Hearing this, Shen Chuchu frowned, a trace of suspicion flashed through her mind. Could it be that she was the only one who could hear it?

"Mom, what strange noise did you hear? Why didn't Rong'er hear it?"

She only heard the sound of everyone eating.

Shang Rong tilted her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Shen Chuchu with curiosity.

Shen Chuchu came back to her senses, picked up a shrimp for her, and said softly, “It’s nothing, maybe mother heard it wrong, Rong’er, eat.”

"oh."

[Hey, I was distracted just now, and I thought I heard my aunt say she heard a strange noise.]

【Are there any strange noises? 】

[Oh, right, Mom and Dad didn't hear it either, so maybe Auntie's health is too bad and she's starting to hallucinate?]

Shen Chuchu: “…”

No, no, no, she was sure that this was definitely not an auditory hallucination.

Although, she had suspected this before, it was noon, not now.

But why did she hear Xiaowaner's voice?

Shen Chuchu couldn't figure it out, and suddenly, an idea emerged in her mind. Her pupils shrank slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Shang Rong beside her.

etc……

If she was not hallucinating at noon, she seemed to hear Xiao Wan'er say that Rong'er was not her daughter, and that her daughter was switched at birth.

What is Xiao Wan'er's origin?

Why would you say such a thing for no reason?

Shen Chuchu's head was in a mess, her breathing gradually became rapid, her whole body felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, so cold that she was shivering all over.

What on earth is going on?

She carried the child for nine months and raised him for six years, so how could he not be her daughter?

[Speaking of this, we have to mention the man surnamed Shang.]

[That guy is such a shameless bastard.]

Shen Wan’s inner voice continued, and when she mentioned Shang Yu, Shen Chuchu’s eyes were shocked, and she immediately came back to her senses and listened attentively.

When he visited Beijing that year, he unexpectedly met his aunt. After learning her identity, he began to pursue her madly, showering her with sweet nothings.

[In reality, he was only after my father's status, but my aunt was young and ignorant, so she foolishly fell for his trick and thought she had found true love. Despite my father's objections, she insisted on marrying him.]

Although Dad was angry, Auntie was his only sister after all, so he prepared a lot of dowry for her.

[And naturally, all the dowries fell into the hands of the merchants.]

[Besides, Shang has been writing to Dad behind my aunt's back for years, asking him to help him sort out some issues.]

[My father never went there, but he sent people there to take care of everything.]

[Thanks to his father, the Shang family went from being an ordinary wealthy family to becoming one of the top families in Nanzhou Prefecture.]

[This Shang guy has taken advantage of me enough, but he still can't tolerate my aunt.]

[Because he was afraid of his father's power, he didn't dare to kill his aunt openly.]

So, I came up with a plan. Under the pretext of nourishing my aunt, I coaxed her into taking some medicine for a long time.

[All medicines are toxic. Those medicines are not suitable for long-term use. My aunt's healthy body was ruined by them.]

[In the plot, the aunt never knew until her death that the man she had married in disobeying her brother would actually poison her.]

[I don't know what my aunt would think after knowing all this.]

【……】

Hearing these thoughts, Shen Chuchu's eyes moved slightly, and her lips opened in astonishment.
