In her previous life, Shen Lianxi (沈斓曦) suffered a cruel fate. On her wedding night, her groom, Zhou Ruyu (周如渊), didn’t even enter their chamber. The next day, she discovered her nata...
Chapter 124 Dare to betray me? I'll show no mercy to my own family!
There's only one way now: play dumb and refuse to admit it!
"Big sister, my aunt is unconscious, and I'm terrified. If something happens to my aunt, I'll never have an aunt again. Big sister, I'm scared. I'm still young, and I don't want to lose my aunt so soon!"
Shen Yuanhe acted as if she had suffered a great injustice, crying as she spoke.
Several people present had lost their mothers at a young age, and they all began to sympathize with Shen Yuanhe.
"She's so young, when she gets anxious, she doesn't care about anything else~"
The person speaking glanced at Shen Lanxi furtively.
If their own family hadn't told them, they would never have imagined that Young Master Lan was actually a woman!
Shen Lanxi sneered, "Am I a doctor?"
Shen Yuanhe froze.
"Your aunt is unconscious. You should be spending money to hire a doctor, not kneeling here begging me. By doing this, you are simply exposing my identity and then using the fact that we are blood relatives to blackmail me and profit from it!"
Shen Yuanhe panicked when she heard that she had revealed this matter in public.
Doesn't her sister fear the power of gossip?
Before, no one knew she was a woman, so they all listened to her. Now that they know she's a woman, they definitely won't want to be bossed around by a woman anymore.
Then she'll have no choice but to depend on her family and follow their arrangements. She's offended everyone in her family these past few days, so they'll definitely teach her a lesson and see how arrogant she can be then!
Shen Lanxi sneered coldly, and with a flick of her wrist, the shovel in her hand was plunged into the ground in front of Shen Yuanhe with a bang, completely disappearing into the soil!
Shen Yuanhe was terrified. She collapsed to the ground in a panic and scrambled backward.
"I'll teach you my rules today!"
"I am not someone who can be coerced! Even if it's my own brother or sister, if they dare to betray me, I will treat them the same way, showing no mercy to my family!"
After he said this, everyone was shocked.
"The trap is dug, but we're still missing bait!" Shen Lanxi said in a chilling tone.
Shen Yuanhe suddenly had a bad feeling. She was so frightened that she got up and ran away!
Shen Lanxi glanced at Liu Laohu and then her eyes fell on Wei Dongzhu.
"Bury her!"
With a thud, Shen Yuanhe screamed and fell to the ground!
"No, Father, save me! Big sister, I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."
"Auntie, save me! Save me!"
"Grandpa and Grandma, save me!"
Wei Jiajun took matters into his own hands, and Wei Dongzhu pulled out a shovel; he would personally bury the soil!
Shen Yuanhe crawled forward like a madwoman, but before she could take two steps, Wei Jiajun threw her into the pit like a dead dog.
Wei Dong shoveled the soil down one inch at a time, and Shen Yuanhe began to scream in despair!
Shen Congwen could no longer hold back, and with a dark face, he got off the carriage and rushed to Shen Lanxi.
"Lanxi, you wicked child, stop right now! She's your sister!"
Shen Lanxi's face was as cold as frost, and her heart was as firm as a rock, unmoved by any words!
"So, does Father want me to uphold justice and even betray my own family?"
Previously, Shen Congwen hadn't felt anything when his daughter acted fiercely towards others. But now that sharpness was directed at him, he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat and thorns were pricking his back.
If such a temperament were a man, how could the Shen family not rise to prominence? It's a pity it's a woman!
Such a vicious and ruthless woman is a misfortune for the entire clan!
"What nonsense are you spouting about sacrificing family for the greater good? Get someone to release your sister right now. I'll let it slide this time, considering you escorted her all the way!" Shen Congwen snapped coldly, his hands behind his back.
Shen Lanxi smiled mockingly: "Her aunt is unwell, and instead of going to see a doctor, she comes to me and kneels down to coerce me? If it were your second, third, or fourth uncle kneeling down in front of you and using the bond of blood between brothers to coerce you, what would you do?"
Shen Congwen, his face dark with anger, retorted, "How can you lump these things together? If your grandmother were in trouble, I would take a doctor to treat her without anyone begging me!"
Shen Lanxi: "So Father is scolding me for not letting the doctor treat Aunt Zhang?"
Shen Congwen remained silent with his neck stiffened, which was tantamount to acquiescence!
Shen Lanxi's eyes darkened, and when she raised them again, they were now filled with cold sarcasm!
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be punished as well!"
Shen Congwen stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He pointed at Shen Lanxi and threatened angrily, "I'm going to save Yuan He. I want to see what you can do to me!"
After finishing his sentence, Shen Congwen walked towards the trap.
"Yuanhe, your father has come to save you!" Shen Congwen just stretched out his hand, and Wei Dong kicked it at him.
Shen Congwen has also fallen into the trap!
He obeyed his lord; if they were guilty of the same crime, they would be buried together!
Everyone was so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.
The people who had gathered firewood gradually returned.
"Father……"
Shen Yuanjing and the others threw down the firewood and ran towards the trap.
"Big brother, what's going on? What are they going to do to Father?"
Shen Yuanjing ran to Shen Lanxi's side in a few steps.
Liu Yanhui raised her hand to stop them, and said coldly, "Shen Congwen and his daughter exposed our lord's identity and coerced him into doing things. They deserve their punishment!"
Shen Yuanjing stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What did it mean to reveal someone's identity?
Could it be that...?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Shen Yuanjing's heart pounded as if it were about to jump out of his chest.
Impossible, they couldn't be that stupid. Besides, their grandmother had warned them repeatedly; they couldn't possibly forget.
"Big brother, should we ask again to clarify?"
Shen Lanxi's gaze swept over him: "Are you saying I wronged them?"
Shen Yuanjing's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "No, I..."
That's their father!
Shen Lanxi: "Yuan Jing, do you still remember what was written on the first page of the first book you took from me?"
Shen Yuanjing was taken aback. His lips moved twice, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out!
"A compassionate leader cannot command an army, sentimentalists cannot accomplish anything, righteous individuals cannot manage finances, and benevolent people cannot become officials!" Shen Lanxi looked at him sharply.
"If you get caught up in family matters and romantic entanglements, dragging things out and hesitating, then you should never practice martial arts again!"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Shen Yuanjing's eyes. The next second, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and left!
Shen Yuanjun and the others looked in their father's direction with conflicted expressions before Shen Yuanjing forcefully pulled them away!
Liu Laohu shuddered violently and quickly raised his voice: "It's getting dark soon. If you don't want to live, stand still!"
The person digging the trap, though obediently continuing to dig, was not at peace with himself.
Ruthless and vicious; no wonder they say the most poisonous heart is that of a woman.
This woman buried her own father and sister; shouldn't she be the one who deserves to be exiled?
Shen Yuanjing pulled his younger siblings away and told them about Zhang Zifen's pregnancy and Shen Lanxi's exposed identity.
Shen Yuanqing murmured, "Even so, she can't bury her father, can she?"
Shen Yuanjing recalled what had just happened and was filled with lingering fear!
"Don't you guys even think about what would have happened to us if our eldest sister hadn't been ruthless and suppressed those people?"
"Have you all forgotten what kind of life we had without your big sister protecting us along the way?"
Even if they were prisoners, they would dare to come up and kick them!
