Chapter 200: Desperate and insane, kept in the dark until death

After hearing Madam Shen’s words, a trace of disappointment clearly flashed across Shen Chuchu’s face. She looked away from Madam Shen and stopped talking.

"Chu Chu, you are so anxious to see them, is there something important?"

Madam Shen asked softly.

"Woo, sister-in-law..."

Shen Chuchu started crying again. Unlike the silent tears she shed before, this time she cried out loud, her voice aggrieved and heartbroken.

well……

Madam Shen sighed in her heart and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Knowing that she had had a hard time these years, Mrs. Shen did not rush to coax her, but let her cry and vent her emotions.

If people hold it in for too long, they need to vent, otherwise, they will get hurt sooner or later.

She cried for a long, long time, until she was tired, then she stopped, looking at Madam Shen with red eyes, her eyes tinged with a hint of heartbreak.

"Sister-in-law, I suspect she's not my biological child at all. Tell me, is there really a biological child who would treat his own mother like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wan'er's eyes suddenly froze, and then she shouted anxiously in her heart.

[Yes, yes, this little ungrateful bastard is definitely not your biological child.]

Madam Shen's eyes moved slightly, and she understood something in her heart.

Shen Chuchu was suddenly stimulated, probably not just because of Shang Rong's snatching of shoes and the hurtful words she said.

It is very likely because Xiao Wan'er repeatedly told herself that Shang Rong is not her daughter.

She might not take such words seriously when she heard them once, but if she heard them again and again, or if she heard some more in-depth inside information, she would no longer be able to take it lightly.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, you must get to the bottom of it, otherwise you will not feel at ease.

Shen Chuchu might have only doubted Xiao Waner's words, but she believed them without a doubt.

Xiao Wan'er said that Shang Rong is not Chu Chu's daughter, so she definitely is not, and there is no need to verify it.

Coming back to her senses, Madam Shen said slowly, “Speaking of this, I actually have something I have always wanted to say to you, but I was afraid that you would be unhappy to hear it, so I have been holding back.”

"The first time I saw you and Rong'er, I felt that she didn't look like you at all. Children usually look like both their father and mother, it's just a matter of who they resemble more."

"Rong'er's mouth does look a bit like Shang Yu's, but I've been looking at her for a long time and still can't find any trace of you in her face."

"If you hadn't told me she was your daughter, I would have thought you brought someone else's child back."

"Mom, you're really good at talking. If you can talk, just talk more. You have to make Auntie even more suspicious."

[Let's uncover the identity of this ungrateful little bastard as soon as possible.]

[While our Shen family is still in power, once this matter is thoroughly investigated, we can also take care of the business.]

[This way, even if our Shen family is ultimately unable to change its fate, at least we can protect our aunt.]

[It wouldn't be like in the plot, where the entire Shen family died tragically.]

What?

Lost power?

The entire Shen family died tragically?

How could that be?

Shen Chuchu widened her eyes and looked at Madam Shen in disbelief, but saw that Madam Shen still had a smile on her lips.

She was once again certain that Mrs. Shen could not hear Xiao Waner's thoughts.

Otherwise, how could he laugh after hearing those words?

But what is going on?

The eldest brother holds great power and plays an important role in the court. Although the seventh brother is young, he is also trusted by the emperor. How could such a family die tragically?

I’m afraid Xiaowan’er must have made a mistake?

Shen Chuchu's mind was in a mess. Her reason told her not to listen to Xiao Wan'er's words casually, but she couldn't help but wonder, what should she do if it was true?

No, she would observe for a few more days and at least find out what the basis is for Xiao Wan'er to say such things.

Compared with this news, Shang Rong's life experience was no longer important, so it was completely forgotten by the uneasy Shen Chuchu.

"Why is Chuchu silent?"

After finally bringing up the issue of Shang Rong's background, Madam Shen wouldn't let her change the subject.

As for the Shen family's affairs, they have known about it for a long time and are now working hard to change them. There is no need for Chuchu to worry about it.

"Well……"

Shen Chuchu quickly came back to her senses, forced a smile, and her mind was forcibly pulled back to this matter again.

"Sister-in-law, do you think so too? But how can Shang Rong not be my daughter? I gave birth to her for ten hours and she almost died in childbirth."

[Auntie, you fell asleep right after giving birth, and the midwife switched the baby while you were asleep.]

[In order to bring the two children's due dates closer together, you were secretly fed labor-inducing drugs.]

[Your child was born half a month prematurely. If it weren't for his luck, he would have died at birth.]

She was actually fed drugs to induce labor, no wonder she suddenly went into labor prematurely, and her child almost died as a result.

Shen Chuchu's nose felt sore, and she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Is it true that all this was done by goodwill?

Without his permission, how could the midwife dare to replace her child?

How could the servants dare to feed her the drug to induce labor?

Mrs. Shen was also stunned. She never expected that Shen Chuchu would be fed with induction drugs in order to switch the baby.

It's really crazy that they can do such a thing.

She quickly recovered and said, "A woman is at her weakest when giving birth. Even if someone replaced your child, you might not know it."

"Chu Chu, you are the Duke's only sister. There is no guarantee that someone will not want to use your identity to get into the Duke's Mansion."

"Even if you don't intend to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion, Shangri-La is one of the most powerful families in Nanzhou Prefecture."

"People's hearts are hidden. Who knows, the midwife might have had inappropriate thoughts after seeing the wealth of the merchants. Don't worry. When your eldest brother comes back, I will have someone investigate this matter."

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. If Rong'er is your daughter, then you should discipline her properly from now on. This little girl is really being unreasonable."

"If she is not, then you must find your biological daughter as soon as possible."

In fact, Mrs. Shen suspected that Shang Rong was the daughter of a concubine, but she had no evidence and was not aware of some inside stories about Shang Rong.

Therefore, he did not dare to express this guess directly and could only blame the matter on the midwife.

Also, Shen Yuanhong has already sent people to investigate the matter, but Xiao Wan'er is still here. In order to prevent her from having doubts, this matter cannot be mentioned.

Shen Chuchu’s head was in a mess now, and she had no other good ideas. After hearing what Madam Shen said, she could only nod in agreement.

[Wow, Mom is really awesome. She actually thought of investigating Shang Rong's identity so quickly.]

[Such a keen sense, worthy of a Duke's wife.]

[Tsk, that's because Auntie never came back. Otherwise, Mother would have seen through this matter long ago, and Auntie wouldn't have to be kept in the dark until her death.]
