Shen Shuchun gave a cold, indifferent smirk and coldly ordered, "Third Madam is unwell. Send her back to her ancestral home in Jiangzhou to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin's face turned ashen. Jiangzhou?! Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted in her daughter Shen Mingshu's arms.

Shen Mingshu's eyes were red and she was crying uncontrollably, calling out for her father. But Shen Shuchun had already made a decision. Lin Shi's behavior was unacceptable, and if she continued to stay in the capital, it would cause great trouble sooner or later. He had to make a decision.

However, if he were to divorce Lin, he might offend the Lin family, and many of the Lin family members were ruthless. If he were to offend them, it would be a loss. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that sending Lin to Jiangzhou was the most appropriate course of action.

"Father just won't believe it? In Father's heart, what are Mother, Brother, and I?!" Shen Mingshu suppressed her heartache and continued, "Since Father doesn't like Mother and us siblings at all, why did you marry Mother in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better to just take Concubine Liu as your principal wife?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchun was deeply saddened, and his gaze toward his daughter became more unfamiliar than ever before.

He knew his daughter was usually a troublemaker, but he never expected her to be so indiscriminate in protecting Lin Shi, even going so far as to contradict him, her father!

Thinking of this, the last trace of gentleness on Shen Shuchun's face vanished, and he said coldly, "It's none of your business as an unmarried girl to concern yourself with the affairs of adults. Your marriage is still in limbo. You should stay at home and do your needlework properly. I will ask your aunt to help with your marriage. As for your mother, if we continue to pursue the matter of her trying to kill Liu Shi, it will not look good for the three of you, so let's not mention it again!"

As soon as Shen Shuchun finished speaking, a faint cry of a baby rang out from Biyue Tower. The door of Biyue Tower opened, and the midwife came out with a smile, holding a child wrapped in a bright red swaddling cloth. She loudly congratulated him, "Congratulations, Third Master! Congratulations, Third Master! It's a little prince!"

Shen Shuchun could not hide his surprise and turned to walk over to the old woman. He lifted the swaddling clothes and took a look at the child. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Shen Mingshu looked at her father, and a hint of ruthlessness gradually appeared in her eyes. Her father didn't care about any spousal affection or father-son relationship. All he cared about was Liu Shi and the illegitimate child she had!

Shen Shuchun's smile was still on his face when the female doctor's voice rang out from inside: "Oh no, massive bleeding!"

Shen Shuchun was taken aback, and then heard a flurry of hands and feet passing things around inside the room.

At this moment, everyone in Shou'an Hall also learned that Shen Shuchun had decided to send Lin back to Jiangzhou. Old Madam Shen sighed again. Zhao's expression changed slightly. Although it was a pity that Shen Shuchun did not divorce Lin directly, she thought again that if he divorced Lin, the reputation of the Shen family would be affected. Sending her away far away at the street corner under the pretense of illness might be a better way.

Shen Mingzhuang had no sympathy for Lin Shi. The best outcome for Lin Shi was already. Compared to being divorced and forced to return home, going to Jiangzhou might be better for her.

Besides, Lin had tried to harm her more than once, and although she hadn't succeeded, she couldn't bring herself to sympathize with such a person.

Shen Ming'e, however, looked dazed and seemed somewhat absent-minded.

She never expected that Lin Shi would almost cause the death of her aunt and unborn child, and in the end, she was just sent away far away.

Shouldn't such a vicious woman be divorced and sent away? Didn't Father say he would protect them, mother and daughter, for the rest of his life? Why did he let Lin off so easily at this time?

"This is perfect now. Alright, now that Madam Liu has given birth, you should all go and see her." Old Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let everyone go and see when Granny Tian hurried in.

Seeing her expression, Old Madam Shen's face darkened. "What happened?"

Granny Tian said urgently, "It's Concubine Liu! Concubine Liu is hemorrhaging badly, and the female physician is trying to save her..."

She didn't dare finish her sentence. This massive hemorrhage was not so easy to treat, and there was a high chance that Aunt Liu was not going to make it. Thinking this, Granny Tian couldn't help but look at Shen Ming'e with pity.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming'e's expression changed drastically, her eyes reddened, and she turned and ran out as if she had lost her soul, heading towards Biyue Tower without a care in the world.

Zhao also got up, fearing something might happen, and hurriedly instructed the nanny An beside her to go over.

Shen Mingzhuang never expected that Aunt Liu would suffer a massive hemorrhage. This would be an extremely difficult situation even in later generations. If Aunt Liu really couldn't be saved, then her trip today would have been in vain.

Thinking of Shen Ming'e, she still followed.

Inside the Biyue Tower, the female doctors were busy. When Shen Mingzhuang arrived, Shen Ming'e was squatting at the entrance of the Biyue Tower, weeping with her face covered.

She was deeply moved. The only person she could rely on was Aunt Liu. If Aunt Liu were gone, she would be nothing in the Shen family.

Shen Mingzhuang didn't particularly like Aunt Liu's cunning and scheming nature, but upon closer reflection, how could one survive in this ruthless mansion without some cunning? She disliked scheming, yet after entering the palace, she had no choice but to plot against the Empress Dowager and Consort Song to protect herself. To talk about scheming without considering one's stance is simply being a rogue.

She sighed, stepped forward and squatted down beside Shen Ming'e, gently put her arm around her shoulder and said softly, "It's alright, don't be afraid. I've already given the order that as long as Aunt Liu can be saved, the best medicine will be used, and I'll provide the money."

She also gave a century-old ginseng, which she had stolen from the Empress Dowager's private treasury, to the female physicians, instructing them to spare Aunt Liu's life.

Shen Ming'e never imagined that when trouble struck, the only person she could rely on would be her own ninth sister, whom she had initially looked down upon. With red eyes, she buried her face in Shen Mingzhuang's arms and began to sob uncontrollably, her cries growing louder and louder.

Shen Shuchun looked at the baby in the cradle in the side room, his heart burning with anguish.

If something really happens to Aunt Liu, then Lin's trip to Jiangzhou will probably have to be postponed.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

He instructed the wet nurse to take good care of the tenth young master, then got up and left.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a soft sobbing sound outside.

He stopped and looked closely, only to find that they were his two daughters.

Okay, to be precise, it's about my own daughter and Consort Mingfei.

He couldn't help but cough twice. Shen Ming'e and Shen Mingzhuang noticed the newcomer and quickly stood up.

Shen Shuchun then walked over.

“Ming’e, Aunt Liu is a lucky person, so stop crying. Your sister is still here, don’t let her laugh at you.”

He tried his best to ease the tension, but clearly, it didn't work.
