Chapter 187: Two goals still haven't been achieved.
In fact, it wasn't explicitly stated in the original storyline whether Shen Ziran had any children later on.
Instead, on one occasion, Shen Ding'an hoped that Shen Shuangyu could help the Yin family gain some benefits from Song Zhixian.
Shen Ding'an's reasoning was: "In this life, you have wronged Fourth Sister, causing her to have regrets and not be able to gain a foothold in her husband's family. If the Yin family does not see that she is useful elsewhere, then the position of the mistress of the house will be difficult to maintain."
Actually, Shen Ding'an, as the brother-in-law, could have directly told Song Zhixian about this.
But he was smart and knew that doing so was risky and might displease his brother-in-law. He didn't want to take the risk, but he also wanted his in-laws to grow stronger. Moreover, he had already noticed Song Zhixian's feelings for Shen Shuangyu, so he thought that if Shen Shuangyu pleaded for him, it would surely succeed.
Although he knew that Shen Shuangyu's request would make Song Zhixian feel bad, given his personality, it was just a matter of marital fun, so it could be considered a happy ending for everyone.
Happy my ass!
When Ye Qing saw this part, she was absolutely furious.
Since leaving the capital after her miscarriage, Shen Shuangyu has completely ignored her older sister, and they don't keep in touch during any holidays.
Unaware of the truth, Shen Shuangyu genuinely felt guilty, believing she was compensating her sister, and forced herself to beg Song Zhixian.
Ultimately, this ensured the smooth career advancement of the Yin family, and it was attributed to Shen Ziran's efforts.
This was not the only time; there were several more times afterward, until Shen Shuangyu died.
Therefore, Ye Qing concluded that Shen Ziran must not have gotten pregnant again.
Not to mention that this time it has dragged on for so long, the injury must be even more serious.
If having no offspring is a given, then let Shen Shuangyu take revenge.
She wanted Chen Ran to live in fear forever.
Year after year she waited, waiting for her only chance to reconcile with Yin Lifeng to be shattered.
This made Shen Xiran realize every day that all of this was the result of her own evil deeds and the sins she had committed.
No one heard what Shen Shuangyu said to Shen Xinran in the end, only that it must have been words of heartbreak.
After Shen Shuangyu finished speaking, she leaned on Yi Fuyun as if she had lost all hope, while Shen Xiaoran finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted to the ground. Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Shen Sanshen quickly asked the doctor to check on Shen Xiaoran.
The doctor was covered in sweat. "The blood and qi are attacking the heart, and the bleeding won't stop. We must administer acupuncture immediately."
Seeing that no one was taking care of Shen Xinran, Aunt Shen could only quickly arrange for nearby medical treatment.
At this moment, Shen Shuangyu said to Shen San's third aunt, "I'm tired, Third Aunt. I have to be busy opening the shop tomorrow, so I'll take my leave first."
Aunt Shen was at a loss as to how to handle the current situation. From the moment Shen Shuangyu revealed the truth, she had a feeling that something big had happened, but she didn't know how to deal with it.
Hearing Shen Shuangyu say she was leaving, she could only nod reflexively and comfort her, "Yes, opening a shop is a big deal, you should go back and rest early."
Shen Shuangyu, with proper manners, said to the servants behind him, "Granny Sun, please apologize to my grandmother for me. I'll be leaving now."
Granny Sun quickly withdrew.
The surrounding guests were impressed to see that Shen Shuangyu, despite her obvious grief and red eyes, was still able to maintain her composure, remember to tell her grandmother, and even gesture to each of them.
Finally, Shen Shuangyu offered Shen Jiawei a few words of comfort.
Shen Jiawei wiped away non-existent tears and comforted Shen Shuangyu.
Finally, Shen Shuangyu glanced at the absent-minded Yin Lifeng. That glance was very deep. Yin Lifeng felt that she had something to say and wanted to go forward, but because Wei Xiaoran was in front of him, he had to go around. But Shen Shuangyu had already turned around and left.
It wasn't until this moment that someone finally realized something was wrong, their eyes drifting unnoticed toward a certain spot.
Lu Lan and Shen Shuangyu already had a bad relationship, so when Shen Shuangyu didn't greet her, she didn't think anything was wrong. She just stepped forward and tugged at Shen Ding'an's sleeve.
The usually sensitive Shen Ding'an was still shaken by the sudden news that Shen Xiran was also involved in the incident years ago.
It wasn't until she saw Shen Shuangyu's departing figure that she came to her senses. Her anger, which she had been venting, turned ashen when she saw Shen Xiaoran being carried away unconscious.
She's really crazy!
He doesn't regret his decision, because he always felt that it wasn't for his own sake, but for the development of the entire second wife's family.
But Shen Xiran is different from him. It may seem contradictory, but in his opinion, Shen Xiran should protect her second sister instead of watching Shen Shuangyu walk into the trap.
His mind was in turmoil until Lu Lan's repeated calls of "Husband" jolted him awake.
The moment he looked up, his head buzzed, because he noticed the faint gazes around him falling on him.
Now, only two words are on his mind: "It's over."
Although Shen Shuangyu didn't target him at all today, the fact that he was the one who drugged and knocked Shen Shuangyu unconscious hasn't spread yet. The biggest rumor circulating outside is that the eldest son's wife plotted to marry Shen Shuangyu to Song Zhixian.
But no one is a fool. Everyone saw how Shen Shuangyu treated her younger brother; she practically ignored him.
Even if you can't figure out what tricks he played in harming his own sister, you know he's definitely not innocent.
Shen Ding'an's lips turned pale, but she still forced herself to say, "I'm sorry everyone, it was just a small conflict between sisters. One of us made unfounded speculations, and the other said something in a fit of anger. It was all a joke, so please don't take it to heart."
"Pfft, does Young Master Shen think we're fools!" Wei Xiaoran insulted him without any politeness, then swaggered away. "Tonight I really watched a terrible show of repaying kindness with ingratitude. It's an eyesore for me."
Shen Ding'an's face turned green. Looking around at the women, he saw that they all had awkward and evasive eyes, and then they all took their leave.
Chen Ding'an's heart sank; it was too late after all.
He should have denied everything that happened back then, but he was too shocked just now, and things had developed too quickly.
By the time he realized what was happening, Shen Shuangyu was gone and Shen Xiaoran was unconscious, giving him no chance to turn the tables.
The only consolation was that Shen Shuangyu had only targeted Shen Chengran; she could have brought him up as well, but she didn't. Was that...?
Perhaps... perhaps although my second sister was unwilling to forgive him, she actually understood his good intentions, which is why she left him a way out.
[Perfect ending! Everyone completely ignored Shen Ding'an; everything unfolded exactly as we predicted!]
Shen Shuangyu slowly raised her eyes and strolled away.
Shen Xinran is easy to deal with because she is selfish and only cares about one man from beginning to end.
Ke Chen Ding An is different from the eldest son.
Shen Shuangyu has almost never publicly accused the eldest son's family and Shen Ding'an, because they represent the power of the Shen family, and making accusations without evidence would definitely backfire.
To put it more bluntly, even with evidence, one can't fight city hall. If they discover that Shen Shuangyu is planning a desperate, all-or-nothing attack, then tonight, Shen Shuangyu might die silently.
She also needs to be pragmatic and pick the easy targets first.
But she wouldn't let go of any opportunity to strike at Shen Ding'an and the eldest son's family. Tonight, the whole operation didn't target him, but it quietly deepened everyone's understanding of the matter, setting a trap for them.
Now that Shen Shuangyu is gone, everything has taken shape.
But Shen Ding'an couldn't blame her. After all, she had been framed by Shen Xiran today, and was so heartbroken that she accidentally revealed something she shouldn't have.
Shen Shuangyu is innocent.
Therefore, even if the eldest son and Shen Ding'an realized the impact of tonight's events, they could only be filled with impotent rage or blame Shen Xinran.
However, there are still two goals to be achieved tonight.
