Upon hearing this, Shen Cang felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

When she first learned that Jiang Wan was pregnant, she woke up early one morning and couldn't stop vomiting!

At the time, I thought it was morning sickness.

He was puzzled, thinking to himself that when the concubines in the palace were pregnant, they either didn't vomit or vomited constantly, but he had never seen anyone vomit for only one day, or even just one morning, like her.

At that time, he was so immersed in the joy of becoming a father that he didn't think much about it.

Looking back now, Shen Cang looked at Shen Qiyin again: "You tested her with this method a long time ago?"

"Knowing my father as I am, if I had tested the waters earlier, would I have kept quiet until now?"

"That's true..."

"Using cloud arrow grass to check the authenticity of pregnancy is a method that my senior brother, junior brother, and I only confirmed in the last two days. We brought the herb back before just to have more time to study it."

Shen Cang initially thought he was overthinking things, but upon hearing her words, he quickly asked, "You said you took those herbs home? Did you give them to Wan Niang?"

Shen Qiyin's speechless expression made Shen Cang realize that he had asked a very stupid question.

However, she quickly added, "But that day, Xianglan took a small handful of arrow grass to the kitchen because the stone mortar I usually use was broken, so I asked her to go to the kitchen to borrow the stone mortar there to crush the herbs."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cang immediately summoned the cook for questioning.

That's true.

The cook must have misunderstood, thinking that Shen Cang was going to blame her for Jiang Wan's miscarriage. She even repeatedly assured that she had washed the stone mortar after Xiang Lan used it.

Shen Cang had only one thought in his mind at that moment: It wasn't clean!

Only in this way can it be explained.

"Wanniang...she actually lied to me?" Shen Cang seemed angry, but not entirely.

It's more like being upset.

Shen Xiyin wanted him to be like this.

If all the evidence were presented to him, he might simply feel hatred and disgust for Jiang Wan, and he could get rid of her by kicking her out of sight and out of mind.

But as things stand now, with only speculation and no evidence, he still harbors a sliver of hope.

To ignore them might be a misunderstanding.

I want to get close to him, but I can't help but think of Shen Guangzong's death.

He had ended up in a dead end, with no way out.

Shen Qiyin coldly observed his pathetic appearance, suppressed a laugh, and said, "Let me kindly remind you, Father, that it's better to keep the family's money in your own hands, lest you end up losing both your money and your life. At that time, you won't even have a chance to cry."

It's unpleasant to hear, but it's effective.

In the past, Shen Cang would have scoffed at this, but now, he couldn't wait to learn it word by word.

Shen Qiyin told him these things, of course, not out of kindness. Just like she kept Jiang Wan and her son in the house not only to annoy him, but also because Jiang Wan had other uses for her.

She is waiting for news from the investigation in Ganzhou.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long.

On that day, when the fourth day of the lunar month picked her up at Guangrentang to return to the Shen family, he handed her an envelope and said, "Miss, a letter has arrived from Ganzhou."

Without saying a word, Shen Xiyin immediately opened it to take a look.

The letter states that the Han family, which Jiang Wan visited years ago, was Wei Yueru's husband's family!

Jiang Wan was Han Sui's cousin.

On the day Wei Yueru suffered a difficult childbirth, she was a guest in the house. The fire at the Han family's residence did not affect her. Perhaps she was the only person in the world who knew what happened that day.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiyin put down the letter in her hand with a dazed expression.

If Wei Yueru's death hadn't been due to a difficult childbirth...

Or perhaps her difficult childbirth was caused by human intervention, and the whole thing just happened to be related to Jiang Wan, in which case she would never tell the truth.

We need to think of a way.

Until late at night.

The night was thick with darkness, and no stars could be seen.

The cold wind howled and pounded against the window frame, while the shadows of the trees outside swayed like menacing ghosts.

Jiang Wan woke up groggily from her sleep and faintly heard a very faint "tap tap tap" sound.

She was still sleepy, and after trying to make out the sound with her eyes closed for a while, she realized it sounded like teeth chattering.

It's a bit cold in this room, but not this cold.

Besides, Shen Cang hasn't come to sleep in her room these past two days, so she's all alone in the room.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan suddenly opened her eyes.

That one glance was enough to steal her soul!

She looked at the disheveled man standing beside her bed with a look of horror.

His face was deathly pale, and his lips were bluish-purple.

He stared at her, muttering menacingly, "It's so cold... I'm so cold..."

Jiang Wan was completely numb.

Shen Guangzong!

"Ah—" she screamed.

But Shen Guangzong seemed to have anticipated this, and suddenly stretched out a hand, making a "choking her neck" gesture from a distance. Her voice seemed to be squeezed in her throat, and she spoke in a completely hoarse voice.

"Go away! Don't come looking for me, don't come looking for me!" She struggled to escape, but her body felt like it was being paralyzed by a ghost, and she had no strength to move at all.

Shen Guangzong didn't say anything else, he just kept talking about how cold it was.

But the more he did that, the scarier he became.

She then remembered that today was the seventh day after his death!

Jiang Wan begged for mercy repeatedly, asking him to go find Shen Cang, the two servants who had harmed him, and even Shen Qiyin. In short, he tried to find everyone he could to blame.

Until Shen Guangzong said, "It's cold, so cold... I need to hold someone with me on this journey to keep warm..."
