"However, mother, have you verified her identity? If she is the daughter of a concubine, her status is low and she cannot be the eldest daughter of our general's mansion?"

Shen Yuerong's words were plain but full of meaning, like a loud slap in the face, hitting Madam Fu and Fu Hengyu hard.

Fu Hengyu looked a little embarrassed, but still pretended to ask softly: "Rong'er, I have already explained to you about Wan'er's matter. Why are you making such insinuations at this time?"

"My husband, what do you mean? If there is no matchmaker or betrothal, and the child is born privately, then it must be an illegitimate child, right?"

Chen Yuerong raised her eyes and looked at Madam Fu calmly, and continued: "Our General's Mansion is a noble family, and we always value our reputation. If we want to adopt a child, we must check it out."

Madam Fu's figure swayed, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Rong'er, don't you still believe your mother? I have asked someone to check, and she is a woman with a clean background!"

Shen Yuerong laughed. Did this family really think she was completely stupid?

Looking outside the door helplessly, she felt that even the bright sunshine today was covered with a layer of shadow.

Chen Yuerong's eyes flickered, and she looked at the two of them with a smile, and said tactfully: "If we must adopt a child, I think my husband and I should choose together. Who knows the identity of this girl who was sent here at the last minute?"

Madam Fu didn't expect that she would suddenly become so difficult to deal with. She couldn't help but become a little hostile and dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand.

"Haven't I already told you that? I've already found out everything about that kid's family background. His grandmother and parents are all dead!"

"Rong'er, you told Hengyu last night that you wanted a child. I was afraid you would be sad, so I thought of this idea. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful!"

"I'm so disappointed in you!"

Madam Fu and Fu Hengyu looked as if they had eaten a fly, their faces looked extremely ugly.

Shen Yuerong was about to speak when a voice came from behind her.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so rude to your mother-in-law? Aren't my elder brother and mother doing this for your own good? If you could have given birth to a child, why would this have happened?"

The person who should have been walking towards the crowd was a young boy with a rosy complexion, but Fu Hengjing had dark circles under his eyes, his mouth was dry and chapped, and he looked very decadent.

Fu Hengjing sat down on the stool, muttering his dissatisfaction with Shen Yuerong.

"You have been childless, and your elder brother brought home a mistress. He was afraid that you would be sad, so he found you a child. You are so hurtful. It really makes me feel uncomfortable just to hear it."

Old Madam Fu was old and in poor health. She usually spent most of her time worshiping Buddha. She was the one who took care of Fu Hengyu's younger brother and sister.

The effort Shen Yuerong puts into them is no less than that into her own children.

During these three years, she really loved him. He had all the delicacies from land and sea, silks and satins that others had. In order to get him to go to school, she put a lot of effort into coaxing him.

I thought that at least my two younger siblings and I had real feelings for each other, but I never expected...

This family is really ungrateful.

Shen Yuerong felt her heart bleeding, and she wished she could rush forward and send everyone to hell.

"Jing'er, why did you come here like this?" Mrs. Fu was heartbroken when she saw her second son looking so dirty and dusty, and she quickly brought him a bowl of porridge full of ingredients.

Fu Hengjing looked at Shen Yuerong angrily: "Sister-in-law, apologize to mother quickly!"

Shen Yuerong was in a trance for a moment, and she murmured unconsciously: "You have been in school for three years, and this is the only way you can treat your elders?"

When she said this, crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was trying her best to suppress her grievances.

"For three years, I have devoted all my energy to the General's Mansion. I never thought Heng Jing would treat me like this." Shen Yuerong's mouth trembled slightly, and she spoke while suppressing the grievance in her heart.

"I provide you with food and drink, send you to school, and bring all the good things to you. Now, you are so indiscriminate that you come up to me and say something disheartening."

Fu Hengjing's eyes were full of disdain and pride, and he raised his head proudly.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. What do you mean you provide me with food and drink? What I eat, drink and use do not belong to the general's mansion, but to my brother. What does it have to do with you?"

"You married into our general's mansion, so it's only natural for you to do all this! What lady in every family is not like this? Why is it that you are the only one who can't do this? I think! You are just relying on your mother and brother to spoil you, and you are really going against the will of heaven!"

"Fu Hengjing, what are you talking about here?" Fu Hengyu suddenly became anxious. He would still need Shen Yuerong in the future. Fu Hengjing provoked her so much. How could he naturally let Shen Yuerong contribute to the General's Mansion in the future?

"Husband, do you also agree with what Hengjing said?" Shen Yuerong's eyes revealed deep disappointment, like the afterglow of the setting sun, gradually disappearing into the darkness, leaving only endless desolation.

"Rong'er, he is only fifteen years old, just a child. How can you take what he says to heart?" Fu Hengyu stood up quickly and tried to comfort her helplessly.

Shen Yuerong's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, wetting her collar and face.

Her sobbing was drowned out in the long corridor, and only her trembling shoulders and helpless expression revealed her grief.

"Child? I regard him as a treasure. He treats me so well. Can you erase all the harm you have done to me by saying 'child'?"

"Husband, I am also a human being, and I will feel heartache too."

Shen Yuerong's eyes were red and tears were falling like rain, making everyone at the table at a loss for what to say for a moment.

Fu Hengyu wanted to hug her, but she pushed him away.

After a while, Shen Yuerong calmed down and looked up at Fu Hengyu.

"In that case, from today onwards, I will no longer be responsible for the food, clothing and expenses of the General's Mansion."

After saying that, Shen Yuerong turned her wheelchair back to her residence without even looking back.

Seeing Qinghua, she spoke directly: "From now on, you don't have to pay the tuition for Fuhengjing Academy, and the daily gifts will also stop. You don't have to buy them anymore."

Qinghua didn't know what had happened, but seeing that Shen Yuerong was so weak, he immediately helped her back and went to the school immediately.

Everything was peaceful for five days. As soon as Shen Yuerong came back from the shop, she heard a commotion in the yard.

As soon as he entered the door, Fu Hengjing was furious. He rolled around in her yard like a cooked shrimp.

Seeing Shen Yuerong coming in, he stood up and pointed at her nose and cursed: "Bitch! It's you, it's you who made me lose face in the inkstone, it's you who made me drop out of school, right?"
