Coming to her senses, Shen Mengyin still stubbornly insisted, "How can you be so sure it was me?"

"I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Old Madam Shen said angrily. "I took a fake death drug to lure out you, you treacherous creature!"

Upon hearing about the "fake death medicine," Shen Mengyin immediately turned to look at Shen Qiyin.

It's her!

It must be her!

Shen Cang also looked shaken.

If this whole affair was orchestrated by this girl and the old lady, does that mean that the old lady is going to accuse more than just Shen Mengyin?

Thinking about it this way, he became even more terrified.

To his surprise, although Madam Shen glared at him several times, she never mentioned him.

However, Shen Mengyin betrayed him.

"I did force-feed you the medicine, but my father forced me to do it." She cried and pleaded, "Grandmother knows, how could I dare disobey my father?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Cang wished he could rush up and shut her up.

"Is Father trying to protect himself? But the two gentlemen are not easily fooled." Shen Mengyin argued logically, "Where would I, a sheltered young lady who rarely leaves her home, get poison?"

This question left Shen Cang speechless.

He quickly glanced at Madam Shen's face, and seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of questioning him, he felt more confident and said, "If someone is determined to harm another, how could they not think of a way?"

Shen Mengyin was about to say something more when Old Madam Shen suddenly spoke up: "I'm tired. Please, officers, take him away quickly."

Since the parties involved have said so, they naturally have no objections.

Only Chen Mengyin, clinging to life with a desperate struggle, cried out, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me! I've always been timid and cowardly, how could I possibly have the guts to kill or harm someone?"

"I was instigated and instructed by someone!"

No matter what she said, no one in the room was willing to say a word in her defense or plead for her.

So in the end, she retorted in a fit of despair, "Chen Cang! You are unworthy of being a father!"

"Your sons and daughters are either dead or insane, and some would rather recognize a eunuch as their father than acknowledge you again. This is all your retribution."

"Serves you right!"

As she was being dragged out of Zhuijintang, she was still spitting at Old Madam Shen frantically: "And you, you old hag, you treat him like a son and protect him, but he can't wait for you to die."

"Keep protecting him, you'll die at his hands sooner or later, I'm just waiting to see."

"Hahahahaha..."

"Your whole family are insane! You're all insane!"

Shen Cang and Madam Shen were both scolded by her, and Shen Qiyin naturally didn't escape either. However, after she only said one sentence, Xianglan turned her back, took off her socks, and stuffed them into her mouth.

Shen Mengyin looked shocked and angry.

Xianglan put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "If it weren't for your bad breath and heart, I would have shoved my little toes into your dog mouth!"

Shen Mengyin's face turned a deep liver color, whether from holding it in or from anger, it was hard to tell.

Qian Chuan, standing to the side, thought to himself, "Wow, no wonder she's someone from Er Ya's side. Her fighting power is not to be underestimated."

Coming to his senses, he and his companions tackled the man from both sides and dragged him away.

After they all left, Old Madam Shen suddenly started to shed tears, saying, "I know I'm old and annoying, I won't be a burden to you."

"I'll leave as soon as it's light tomorrow."

Shen Qiyin's eyes flickered slightly, thinking to herself that this old lady's acting skills were quite good.

In fact, it wasn't just this one tactic of "retreating to advance"; the fact that she swallowed her anger and didn't expose Shen Cang just now, her level of "obedience" was already quite surprising to her.

That's right, these ideas were all given to her by Shen Qiyin.

Her actions today were aimed at Shen Mengyin.

She has to keep Shen Cang.

Otherwise, if he were to go to jail as well, then Old Madam Shen would become a burden on her shoulders.

Therefore, that day she told Old Madam Shen that if Shen Cang were also sent to prison, leaving only herself and Li Zhenzhu in the family, her life would certainly not be easy.

On the contrary, if Shen Cang is temporarily protected as is the case now, the latter will not dare to act rashly.

Otherwise, if anything were to happen to her, Qian Chuan and the coroner who came today would suspect him first!

really.

Upon hearing Old Madam Shen's words, Shen Cang immediately knelt down: "Mother, why do you say such things? Aren't you deliberately trying to force your son to die?"

"You're my own son, how could I bear to do this to you!"

"Mother."

As they spoke, the mother and son embraced and wept bitterly. Anyone who didn't know the situation would likely have been deeply moved.

Shen Xiyin observed coldly from the sidelines, her eyes secretly filled with expectation.

Ah, Chen Cang's good days are over.

An old mother who hates him to the bone, a fierce and domineering wife, and a daughter who is looking for a chance to take revenge... Just thinking about his future life is exciting for her.

However, there is also a problem.

After this incident, Shen Cang finally understood everything.

Shen Qiyin was determined not to make things easy for him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have conspired with Old Madam Shen to pull this stunt.

But what could he do even if he knew? He had no power or influence and couldn't do anything to her.

He had been holding his breath and feeling frustrated all night, and before he could even calm down, he had to get up early in the morning to empty the chamber pot for Old Madam Shen and cook for the family.

While standing by the stove cooking porridge, Shen Cang even thought about plunging into the fire pit and just dying.
