Madam Shen glared at Shen Ajiao, "How dare you!"

Shen Ajiao looked completely innocent. "My mother isn't as close to me as you say! Filial piety! Kneel for two hours!"

The servants of the Lin family said, "Madam is right."

“Isn’t he the most suitable? Do you want to call her?” Shen Ajiao pointed at Shen Qin’er, swallowing hard. “A mother is a woman too, how can she not take care of someone who is six months pregnant?”

"Can she kneel?"

The Lin family servants exclaimed, "Absolutely not!"

Madam Shen angrily pointed at Shen Ajiao, "I told you to kneel!"

"Ah, you called me an ungrateful wretch and unfilial just a few days ago. If I kneel, wouldn't that be deceiving God? Mother, your illness... I'm afraid it won't get better." Shen Ajiao was extremely anxious and blinked as she looked at Shen Qin'er.

A servant from the Lin family cried out, "Something terrible has happened!"

Shen Qin'er was stunned, but didn't know what to do, so she looked at her mother.

Before Madam Shen could speak, Shen Ajiao continued,

"Could it be that they aren't the closest? The most filial? Ah! This...this...this..." Shen Ajiao looked at Shen Qin'er and Shen Qi in surprise.

"You're all ingrates too? Unfilial and disobedient children!"

A servant of the Lin family asked, "Huh?"

Madam Shen...

"You...shut up!"

Shen Ajiao looked at the Lin family members in the courtyard, "Now you know, right? I'm the most filial child in the Shen family, and they..."

"They're all unfilial sons!"

The Lin family, more than twenty people, said in unison, their voices booming, "Yes, Madam!"

"We will definitely promote it well!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qi quickly exclaimed, "Wait, Shen Ajiao! I am the most filial child!"

"Then kneel!"

Shen Qi hesitated, while Madam Shen dared not utter a sound, pointing at Shen Ajiao in anger but unable to speak.

The Lin family servant said, "This... are you joking?"

I think so too.

"Then Madam Shen's illness will not be cured..."

...

Madam Shen felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, her head buzzing. She took a step back, and Shen Qi exclaimed, "Mother!"

"Are the servants of the Lin family 'close and filial'?"

Shen Qi knelt down with a thud, "My mother will be alright!"

"Qi'er!" Madam Shen was moved to tears. She knew her own child well; she was undoubtedly the most filial.

But this child has never suffered hardship since she was a child. In the dead of winter, even a drop of water outside would freeze instantly. The floor is cold, and her Qi'er's injuries have just healed. Why should she be treated like this?

"Good Qi'er, Mother knows you're filial. Get up, get up!"

Shen Qi glanced at Shen Ajiao, who smiled and said, "Wasn't it supposed to take two hours? It's only been less than half an hour."

Madam Shen was filled with hatred. She clenched her fists and swallowed her anger. "I have a small Buddhist temple in the Northwest. It's the same if I go there."

"Oh, that makes things even easier! This way, my sister can kneel down too, and Mother's condition will improve even more!"

The Lin family servants exclaimed, "Madam is wise!"

Madam Shen gritted her teeth, "Then you'll be included too, tripled!"

"Multi-fold bonus?"

Shen Ajiao thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I can't. My mother scolded me a few days ago for being an ungrateful wretch and unfilial, which would easily negate their contributions."

"Besides, if we just fool them like this, it won't be good for Mother's illness. They are both filial, and you love them dearly; that's obvious to everyone."

"They can't enjoy the good fortune while I suffer, can they?"

"Heaven remembers this; it's not good for your health to obtain it this way."

The servants of the Lin family said, "What Madam said makes sense."

Madam Shen was so angry she nearly fainted. "Then what do you want?"

“I will naturally eat and drink well, and visit my mother regularly. If God knows this, He will also feel the affection between us. Perhaps my kneeling will be of some use then!”

"You...you..."

"Oh dear, Chenqi, why aren't you kneeling down? Your mother's illness has worsened!"

Seeing that Madam Shen was about to collapse, Shen Qi said, "Mother, don't be angry. I'll kneel down for a bit. Your health is the most important thing."

Madam Shen gritted her teeth, her body swaying precariously, "My son!"

She felt sorry for Shen Qi, but she couldn't embarrass herself in front of so many people by saying that it was all just an excuse she made up to make things difficult for Shen Ajiao.

Shen Qi was initially confused, having been tied up without understanding anything. Now he was more clear-headed. He had become much more sober during his time at home. He realized that he had been too irresponsible before, and now seeing his mother heartbroken for him, how could he not feel bad?

He knew what his mother meant and didn't want to put her in a difficult position. Shen Ajiao was not here with good intentions, and his mother was in no condition to deal with her in her current state.

Now we're in a bind, and getting a reputation for being unfilial would be even worse.

"Mother, let's go." Shen Qi helped Madam Shen into the house, and after coming out, she glanced at Shen Qin'er. "You are pregnant. If your husband's family... can't accept you, just come back. I'll help you with Father's affairs."

He turned to look at Chen Ajiao and said, "Sister, I'll go kneel down right now."

Shen Ajiao was greatly shocked by Shen Qi's words. Had he come to his senses?

Looking at Shen Qin'er, his gaze was extremely complex, but she remained silent, clearly convinced of his sincerity.

Shen Ajiao clapped her hands. "Great, another day of helping others."

"You're heavily pregnant, so please take good care of yourself."

"If you have any difficulties, tell me and I'll help you." Then, she added, "But it's chargeable per session."

Shen Qin'er's legs trembled as she said, "Okay!"

After much hesitation, he finally spoke up, "I would like to invite you to the Zhao family as a guest."

Gillian Chung? Has she lost her mind?

What makes her qualified to go?

"Ten thousand!"

"OK."

Shen Qi... I'll go kneel first.

There's no time like the present, so Shen Qin'er pulled Shen Ajiao and headed to the Zhao family.

Shen Ajiao said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate that I didn't bring a gift with me?"

Shen Qin'er said, "I'll prepare it for you."

"How did you treat my mother just now? Can you do it again?"

Sinking Ah Jiao? That's not a good idea.

"I'll add another five thousand."

"OK."

The servants of the Lin family... While others always bring gifts when they go out, their mistress earns quite a bit. The family's prosperity is just around the corner.

Shen Ajiao looked at Song Qin'er's face and said, "You haven't been having a good time lately, have you?"

"It's clear that the Zhao family isn't any good either."

Do you regret it?

Do you regret it?

How could Shen Qin'er not regret it? If she had known that the marriage she fought so hard for would turn out like this, she would never have tried to take it back.

On the other hand, Shen Ajiao, who had initially refused her, is now dominating her in every way.

She wondered countless times if she, Shen Ajiao, had been the one who married into the Zhao family, would she still be as happy as she is now?

Today she's going to see how the Zhao family, who keep saying they made a mistake marrying her, will put on a show when the real person is standing in front of them.

Do they really think Shen Qin'er is stupid? They knew from the beginning that they had made a mistake in marrying the wrong person, but they kept making the same mistake. Now that the Shen family is weak, they are bullying her like this. She is not someone to be bullied. She might as well die together with them!
