Chapter 34: Marrying again after the replacement, no one has anything to do with each other

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was looking at Zhou Linjin. Chen Lianxiu still had her head down, but she could feel those gazes also sweeping over her, as if there was fire burning her.

Finally, Yang was the first to speak: "You can't just say whoever your family says is who. Today you say this is Shen Wuyu, tomorrow you say that that is Shen Wuyu. Is marriage really a joke? How can you prove that what you say is true?"

Chen had already prepared her explanation, and upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Second Mother also grew up in the capital, and there are some people in the capital who know her. If the Duke's Mansion doesn't believe it, just invite them all to come and identify her."

Little Wu laughed awkwardly, "If that's the case, then doesn't it mean that your Shen family deliberately married Shen Lianxiu here to conceal the truth?"

"I was wrong about this. The Duke's Mansion wants to blame me, and I have nothing to say," Chen wiped away her tears. "At that time, I lost my daughter and was already exhausted. Shen Lianxiu came to me with advice, and I thought that for the sake of the Shen family, marrying her off might not be a bad idea. That's why I made this stupid move... In short, I was also wrong, but I can't help but speak out about my daughter's injustice."

"You suddenly come to our house and say these things, who will believe you?" Xiao Wu said again.

"Okay, everyone, shut up." Zhou Linjin, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "First, go to someone familiar with the Shen family and ask someone to identify the person."

Hearing his voice, Shen Lianxiu trembled all over.

He didn't fully understand what Chen said, but the tone of his voice was serious and cold, which Shen Lianxiu had never heard before.

Her heart sank.

What is coming has come.

"It was you who asked me to marry in her place. When did I ever harm Shen Wuyu? When did I ever offer any advice?"

She said it without hesitation.

Chen Lianxiu stood up. In the moment she stood up, she finally had an excuse to look at Zhou Linjin. She saw that his face was as cold as frost, and his beautiful thin lips were tightly pursed. When he heard her suddenly speak, he subconsciously looked at her.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see her, and she couldn't see the gloom in his eyes.

Chen Lianxiu could no longer explore what Zhou Linjin was thinking. At this moment, she could only try her best to defend herself.

She always knew that one day she would be exposed, maybe Zhou Linjin regained his sight, maybe Shen Wuyu came back, but she never thought that Chen and Shen Wuyu would make up lies to slander her in public, or she never thought that Shen Wuyu would do the same.

She returned to the Shen family when she was ten years old. Although they were not from the same mother, she and Shen Wuyu had always been close because they were of similar age.

how so?

Shen Lianxiu's hands and feet were cold. She couldn't tell whether it was because of the fear and panic of being exposed, or because of Shen Wuyu's lies.

It doesn’t matter what nonsense Chen says, but what kind of situation will Shen Wuyu put her in by saying this?

She was the person Zhou Linjin wanted to marry, but she harmed her and took the initiative to marry her in her place. What kind of person did she become?

"You admit it?"

Before Chen and Shen Wuyu could say anything, Zhou Linjin had already stood up.

His face turned two or three points paler than before, and he questioned Chen Lianxiu in disbelief.

Chen Lianxiu bit her lower lip and said, “I am indeed Chen Lianxiu, but I have not done those things.”

Zhou Linjin's hands suddenly clenched tightly.

"Well," he laughed in anger, "just because I can't see, you lied to me and treated me like a fool!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yishao hurriedly said, "Erlang, you should clarify the matter first. In case there is any misunderstanding..."

"There's no misunderstanding," Chen interrupted Zhou Yishao, secretly delighted when she saw Zhou Linjin wavering. "I have all the evidence. I won't wrongly accuse this vicious woman. She did everything she could to achieve wealth and glory. She waited until a few days after the wedding to have Second Mother released. Poor Second Mother was frightened and displaced for so many days. After she came back, she was unconscious and fell ill in bed, unable to speak. It took her several months to recover. I originally thought I'd just let it go. They're both my daughters, but seeing Second Mother being treated like this is just too much to bear."

Zhou Yishao said, "Then release all the witnesses and evidence first."

"Why bother?" Little Wu was overjoyed at the show. She had never expected such a thing to happen in the usually peaceful First House. Furthermore, her son Zhou Linyu had suffered a setback at the hands of Zhou Linjin because of Shen Lianxiu, so she was even more delighted and had to exaggerate. "Since there's evidence, then it's not a lie. Revealing it would only embarrass everyone. Madam Shen harmed her own sister, and Erlang was also deceived and suffered a loss. He didn't even recognize the person he wanted to marry."

As soon as Mrs. Wu finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhou Linjin, but he didn't say anything.

Chen gave Shen Wuyu a look, and Shen Wuyu had no choice but to walk over to Zhou Linjin, tugged at his sleeve, and wept bitterly: "Erlang, it's me, I'm back, and I don't want you to marry me again. After all, you and my sister are already husband and wife, and I can't ruin your relationship. I just want to tell you the truth."

After she finished speaking, she did not immediately let go of Zhou Linjin, and Zhou Linjin did not push her away. He looked at a certain void without any spirit, not at anyone, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"

The person asking was obviously not Shen Wuyu, but Shen Lianxiu.

Chen Lianxiu's eyes felt sore and painful. She blinked hard a few times and let out a breath. The tender flesh in her mouth was bitten by her at some point and now smelled of blood.

"I had no choice from the beginning to the end to marry you instead of her."

That’s enough for now. Whether he believes it or not is his own business.

Chen arranged everything, and even if she had defended herself, it would be difficult for her to clear herself. And Zhou Linjin, who had lost his beloved Shen Wuyu and knew that Shen Wuyu had been harmed, and he himself had been kept in the dark, how could he not hate her?

Chen Lianxiu's fingertips pinched her fingertips tightly, as if such pain could cover up the pain in her heart.

Zhou Linjin didn't say anything else, nor did he turn towards her. This was completely different from the previous incident with Zhou Linyu, when he had been firmly heading in her direction.

Chen Lianxiu's heart, which had not had much hope to begin with, was finally dashed, like a fish that had come ashore and slowly lost its breath.

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Wu continued, "Now that's bad. We've married a fake, vicious woman. Our family's reputation is ruined if word gets out. What about the other one? She's been kidnapped for so many days, and I don't know..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Wu was extremely upset by this matter. She finally scolded the gloating little Mrs. Wu and said to Zhou Linjin, "Erlang, I can't make a decision on this matter. What do you want to do?"

Before Zhou Linjin could speak, Shen Wuyu had already said, "I'd better leave. After all, Erlang has been with my sister for so long."

Yang couldn't help herself at this point and advised Zhou Linjin, "It's Chen Lianxiu you're marrying. It's not appropriate for her to leave. In my opinion, you should let her stay home, or just make the best of it. If you really can't get over it, then you can have her as a concubine or a co-wife."

"Mother!" Zhou Yishao called out to Yang softly, "Don't interrupt me. My brother is still thinking about it. He hasn't said anything yet. Don't bother him. What do you mean by being a concubine or a co-wife? How could such a thing ever happen in my family?"

She looked at Zhou Linjin, Shen Lianxiu and Shen Wuyu, sighed secretly and shook her head.

It wasn't long after Zhou Yishao finished speaking. After only a few breaths, he heard Zhou Linjin say, "It's Chen Wuyu who was entered into the ancestral temple family tree. It's not right for you to stay. The Chengguo Mansion can't tolerate someone who harmed his own sister."

As he spoke, he felt as if his voice was floating in the air.

She deceived him, and the person she slept with in bed was not the one he had in mind.

But she took advantage of his eye disease and deceived him.

He couldn't stand any of it anymore.

Why did she lie to him?

If Shen Wuyu hadn't come back, how long would she want to lie to him, for a lifetime?

"Erlang, think about it again. This isn't something you can be stubborn about. Don't dwell on it, or you'll regret it later." Zhou Yishao said anxiously, "At least take it easy and figure it all out first."

Zhou Linjin gently pushed away Shen Wuyu, who had been pulling him, and said to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yang sitting there, "I have decided to let Shen Lianxiu leave the Zhou family. However, the Zhou family will not pursue the matter of her marriage in place of others and the murder of Shen Wuyu. The Shen family is also not allowed to pursue these two matters against Shen Lianxiu. Take her home and remarry her in the future. We will have nothing to do with each other."

Yang asked, "What about Shen Wuyu?"

"Return to the Zhou family, and return Shen Lianxiu." Zhou Linjin's hoarse voice was cold, as if he was handling a business matter. "No one is allowed to mention her disappearance again. The one who married into the Zhou family has always been her. Everything ends here, and all entanglements are written off."

Shen Wuyu took a step back, covered her face and started crying. Seeing this, Chen also hugged her daughter and cried with joy.

Mrs. Wu waved her hand and said, "Okay, just make your own decision. This is all a mess." After that, she left with little Mrs. Wu, who wanted to continue watching the fun.

Yang and Zhou Yishao did not leave, but they both knew Zhou Linjin's character and knew that when his temper flared up, nothing they said would be of any use, so they did not say anything.

Chen Lianxiu could sense the pity and confusion for herself in their eyes.

But none of this matters to her.

She is Shen Lianxiu, and these people are strangers to her.

But that person, who was so affectionate just now, could say such ruthless words now. Could it be that he had no attachment to the relationship between them at all?

Did all those interactions seem fake to him?

She saw Zhou Linjin standing there and said to her, "Since you have served me wholeheartedly, pack up your things, take the money and leave."

Chen Lianxiu laughed silently, her heart aching as if she wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

She lowered her eyes, cut off the last trace of regret in her heart, and stopped thinking about it.

She ignored everyone else and went back to Zhuoxinzhai alone.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the people below didn't know what had happened, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Take advantage of this moment to pack up your things and leave quickly.

Where was she going? The Shen family that didn't treat her as a family member, or even as a human being?

Shen Lianxiu had no choice but to decide where to go. Right now, she just wanted to leave Duke Cheng's Mansion and Zhou Linjin as soon as possible.

She didn't want to see him.
