Since Shen Yunxi's plan was feasible, Lan Pei did not delay and immediately went forward to instruct the maid to help Shen Qiuyan up and take her back to the Shen family for treatment.

Shen Yunxi wasn't wrong. Shen Qiuyan was already in such a state, still being held captive by the Jiang family. If they had arrived late, they might have ended up collecting Shen Qiuyan's corpse. Just thinking about it made them shudder.

“Yunxi, be careful. Your mother will take your sister back first. You need to find out what really happened. Our Shen family’s daughter who has married out cannot possibly be wronged. We, the Shen family, must be given an explanation,” Lan Pei said.

"Mother, rest assured, my sister's suffering will not be in vain. I will definitely make those who bullied her pay the price they deserve!" Shen Yunxi said, staring at Madam Jiang.

Madame Chiang knew that things would definitely escalate if things continued like this, and of course she didn't want things to get out of hand, otherwise it would be a disaster for them.

In fact, Madam Jiang did not know that Shen Qiuyan was in this state. Even if she were bold, she would not dare to let Shen Qiuyan die, let alone let it come to this. In the end, it was all caused by her good-for-nothing son.

Yesterday, she only ordered people to lock up Shen Qiuyan, without food or water, but she never expected Shen Qiuyan to be in such a serious condition.

Now that we haven't seen her maid Hongxiu, it must be that Hongxiu went to inform the Shen family. She is truly despicable!

Seeing that things seemed to be getting further and further beyond expectations, Madame Chiang knew she was about to say something.

“My dear in-laws, it’s not appropriate for you to be putting Qiuyan through this. Her body might not be able to take it. How about this, let her stay here to recover. We can call a doctor. As for what exactly happened, we can explain it to her slowly. We can’t let Qiuyan suffer any injustice, don’t you think?” Madam Jiang forced a smile as she tried to smooth things over.

Shen Yunxi ignored her completely. "Mother, there's no need to listen to Madam Jiang. Take my sister back, and I'll stay here. Since you and I are here, let's see who dares to lay a hand on me. Let's see if they don't want to live!"

Faced with Shen Yunxi's imposing aura, not only did the maids of the Jiang family dare not make a move, but even Madam Jiang herself was terrified and cursed everyone in her heart.

Why did you have to provoke that brat Shen Yunxi for no reason? Didn't you even check that Shen Qiuyan was not making any noise inside?

Hearing Shen Yunxi say this, Lan Pei suppressed her worries. She could tell that Madam Jiang really didn't dare to lay a hand on Shen Yunxi, so she left with peace of mind.

Shen Qiuyan remained unresponsive and did not regain consciousness even after being taken away by Lan Pei and two maids.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lanpei's heart clenched tightly.

She had come to the Jiang family earlier and had spoken to Jiang Wenye properly, so why did her daughter end up in such a state?

Lanpei was puzzled, but for now, it was best to stabilize her daughter's condition. If the fever continued, she was afraid her daughter would become mentally impaired. She would leave the rest to Shen Yunxi to handle.

Lan Pei was initially worried about Shen Yunxi, but after seeing Shen Yunxi's performance and Madam Jiang's reaction, she knew that she wouldn't dare to challenge Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi has no connection with the Jiang family. Even though she is Jiang Wenye's sister-in-law, she is not someone the Jiang family can easily manipulate.

So, after thinking it over, Lan Pei took Shen Qiuyan away, leaving Shen Yunxi behind.

Madam Jiang did not want to stop her, but Shen Yunxi's demeanor was truly frightening. She was also worried that if Shen Yunxi were hurt, things would become even more out of control. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as Lan Pei took Shen Qiuyan away.

Once the room quieted down, Madam Jiang cautiously looked at Shen Yunxi and spoke softly, "Miss Shen, your sister has been taken away. Why don't you go and see how she is? As for our family, you can come over anytime, and we can investigate the matter at any time."

Madam Jiang's plan was very simple: as long as Shen Yunxi left the Jiang family, they could work together to downplay the incident and make sure Shen Yunxi couldn't find her.

Shen Yunxi could see through Madam Jiang's thoughts. She said indifferently, "Madam Jiang, there's no need to say anything. Go to the front hall first. Hongxiu will wait outside. When Jiang Wenye returns, have her come over. It's best if she comes early. Otherwise, if the people arranged by the Empress Dowager arrive before he does, he might not be able to explain himself to the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that Shen Yunxi had no intention of giving the Jiang family any face, Madam Jiang could only be angry in her heart but dared not show it. After having someone send Shen Yunxi to the front hall, she arranged for more people to look for Jiang Wenye.

I have no idea where that brat went. Now when I need to find him, I can't find him anywhere. It's really infuriating.

Shen Yunxi sat in the front hall, her face had calmed down, but her eyes were still a little red.

However, her heart was filled with anger, and she blamed herself for not protecting her sister.

I knew what kind of people the Jiang family were, and I thought my sister could be strong. At least she saw that Jiang Wenye was no good and that he was only pretending to be nice to her. I thought she could treat herself well and protect Jiang Ying. But things turned out like this.

Fortunately, Jiang Ying is still a member of the Jiang family, and even though she is a girl, the Jiang family will not do anything to her.

However, Shen Yunxi was still worried. Once everything was clear, she planned to bring Jiang Ying to the Shen family to stay with Shen Qiuyan. Otherwise, even if she was recuperating, she would worry about Jiang Ying and her recovery would be slower.

After waiting for more than an hour, Shen Yunxi finally met her brother-in-law.

At this moment, Jiang Wenye walked in with a smile on his face. Beside him was his concubine, whom he had recently favored. It was clear that he had gone out today to take his concubine with him, not to do anything important.

Shen Yunxi didn't care about anything else, but she absolutely couldn't ignore Shen Qiuyan's injuries.

Although Shen Yunxi sat quietly inside, without even drinking a drop of tea from the Jiang family, she kept thinking about this matter.

It's not hard to figure out. It was Jiang Wenye who made the move. Besides him, no servant would be so fearless as to attack Shen Qiuyan. Regardless of whether she was favored by Jiang Wenye, she was still the legitimate wife of the Jiang family. Moreover, her maternal family's status was much higher than that of the Jiang family.

"Who was in such a hurry to see me? Oh, it's my sister. What brings you to our family today?" Jiang Wenye said with a smile.

Actually, he thought Shen Yunxi was much prettier than Shen Qiuyan, but unfortunately Shen Yunxi was engaged to the Emperor, and he didn't have the guts to propose to her, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

Shen Yunxi was so angry she almost laughed, and she was also quite impressed that Jiang Wenye still hadn't realized why she had come here.

It seems that the people who went to look for Jiang Wenye did not explain what had happened to the Jiang family.
