Chapter 151 Was it ultimately forced upon him?

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian looked up abruptly, wondering why the old lady had said such a thing.

“You know perfectly well that Yan-ge’er can’t bear to part with you, yet you still want me to release you.”

You want Yan Ge'er to come back and fly into a rage, blaming this old woman for letting him have his favorite things.

You're trying to sow discord between us, grandparents and grandchildren!

It turned out that the old lady had mistaken her request for a scheme to sow discord.

Shen Qingnian frowned. No wonder the old lady put such a large amount of cold ingredients in the contraceptive soup she had prepared.

It turns out that in their eyes, she was just a toy for the amusement of the thank-you banquet.

She is not worthy of bearing children.

Xie Yanzhi already had a concubine before he was married.

The old lady told her that she was no longer able to have children so that she could give the future mistress an explanation.

It seemed impossible for the old lady to let her leave the manor. Just then, she saw the old lady squinting at her and saying:

"Don't think that just because you brought up Yan Ge'er, I won't punish you today."

"It is precisely because you are Yan Ge'er's concubine that I must punish you severely on his behalf, so that you will know your place!"

"Madam! I had absolutely no intention of sowing discord!"

"I didn't intend to use the crown prince to protect myself."

Shen Qingnian knelt upright, her voice neither humble nor arrogant; she only wanted to make her point clear.

"I……"

"Still making excuses!"

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted her.

The old lady knew that she wanted to leave the manor.

Otherwise, the commotion at Guanlan Residence that night wouldn't have been so great.

Ultimately, she was forced into it.

But now that he's already Yan Ge'er's woman, he's still not content.

Having a secret rendezvous with a man and then wanting to leave the mansion—she has absolutely no virtues as a woman.

She not only had to punish her, but she had to punish her severely, so that she would understand that once she entered this place, her fate was no longer up to her.

"Madam Xue, this girl is still a member of your eldest branch of the family. How do you intend to punish her?"

The old lady took another sip of tea slowly, then looked at Madam Xue with a meaningful gaze.

In the future, Madam Xue will eventually have to take over these affairs of the household, and as her mother-in-law, she intends to give her more experience in these areas.

Seeing the old lady's gaze, Madam Xue turned and looked coldly at Shen Qingnian, her mind racing as she tried to come up with a solution.

Unexpectedly, the old lady asked her to deal with Shen Qingnian. She sneered inwardly, knowing she would not let her off easily.

Seeing Xue's expression, Shen Qingnian knew that Xue would not let her off easily.

She was not making things difficult for herself because of Xie Yanzhi, but also because of Gu Lingyu.

Madam Xue raised an eyebrow and smiled, then got up and went to the old lady, whispering a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, the old lady first glanced at Madam Xue, then looked at Shen Qingnian, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shen Qingnian saw that the old lady's eyes first showed some shock, then tacit approval.

She instantly felt nervous.

At this moment, Madam Xue suddenly looked at her and smiled, which sent a chill down Shen Qingnian's spine.

Shen Qingnian saw that when she beckoned, a maid ran to her side, and Madam Xue whispered a few words of instruction.

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes before she ran out.

Although she didn't know what method Xue was planning, Shen Qingnian felt a chill run down her spine.

"Do as you say."

After the old lady finished speaking, she got up, leaning on her pear wood cane, and walked into the house with Liu Momo's help.

Madam Xue nodded and said, "Yes."

After the old lady went into the inner room, Madam Xue turned around, looked at Shen Qingnian, and sneered.

When Shen Qingnian saw Xue's smile, the hairs on her body stood on end.

Before she could react, two burly maids came up behind her, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her up.

"Let me go!" Shen Qingnian struggled to back away, instinctively feeling that she couldn't let them pull her out of the door.

When the two girls saw her struggling, they gripped her arms even tighter.

Shen Qingnian felt as if her arm was broken, but she continued to struggle.

At this moment, another maidservant struck her on the back with a wooden stick. Shen Qingnian felt as if the bones in her back were about to break, and the pain caused her to break out in a cold sweat that soaked her clothes.

A metallic taste rose in her throat, and her body staggered forward uncontrollably. If it weren't for the maid holding her back, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

Sun Momo stepped forward and said coldly, "I advise Auntie to calm down and obediently follow along, so as to avoid further physical suffering."

After saying that, he gestured for the two maids to continue pulling Shen Qingnian out.

"Auntie!"

Yu Zhu rushed out from under the corridor and saw Shen Qingnian being held tightly by the arm, looking completely powerless.

Seeing her hair disheveled and plastered to her face, her brows furrowed and looking pained, Yu Zhu's tears welled up instantly.

She quickly stepped forward and reached out to help Shen Qingnian, but Sun Momo slapped her hand across the back, leaving it instantly red.

Upon hearing Yu Zhu's voice, Shen Qingnian forced open her heavy eyelids and shook her head at Yu Zhu: "I'm fine, you should go back to Yuheng Residence."

She feared that if Yuzhu stayed, she would be implicated and punished along with her.

After she finished speaking, she was dragged to the back of the Buddhist hall.

Yu Zhu paused, her eyes red as she watched the group's retreating figures, and stamped her foot in frustration.

Suddenly, she remembered Shen Qingnian's instructions and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Auntie is right, she must hurry back to Yuheng Residence to tell Sister Hongyu!

I wonder if the reinforcements Sister Hongyu found have arrived yet.

She quickened her pace and ran towards Yuheng Residence, but bumped into Hongyu who was rushing over halfway there.

"Sister Hongyu!" She looked behind her and saw that there was no one behind Hongyu, and her heart sank instantly.

She grabbed Hongyu's hand anxiously: "Where are the reinforcements?"

Seeing that she was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face, Hongyu quickly asked, "Has something happened to Auntie?"

Yu Zhu nodded: "They led the aunt to the back of the Buddhist hall."

Behind the Buddhist hall?

Hongyu had been there before; it was just a small open space, nothing special. What was she going there for?

Suddenly, her pupils dilated, and a terrible thought surfaced in her mind: "Oh no!" She then pulled Yuzhu and ran towards the back of the Buddhist hall.

She secretly hoped that Yuanqing could bring the eldest son back soon, because if she was any later, her aunt would lose her life.
