Seeing that Shen Song was in a daze, Yin Xue looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Husband?"
Shen Song then came to her senses and looked at Yin Xue with a complicated expression.
There was also some guilt mixed in.
Yin Xue smiled at him, "Husband, you've worked hard today. This is pomelo water. I'll sprinkle some pomelo water on you to drive away evil spirits."
Seeing that Yin Xue was still so gentle and didn't mind at all that he wanted to marry that remnant of the previous dynasty, Shen Song's eyes reddened.
Qu Jingyun glanced coldly at Chen Song.
She understood that her eldest son knew he was wrong.
Qu Jingyun said expressionlessly, "Why are you so good to him? He almost killed our whole family. A wicked child like him should be expelled from the General's Mansion and never be a son of the Shen family again in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Shen Song was startled.
Shen Song stared at Qu Jingyun, her face pale.
He suddenly knelt down heavily and kowtowed to Qu Jingyun.
Yin Xue also knelt down to beg for forgiveness for Shen Song: "Mother-in-law, my husband already knows he was wrong, please give him another chance."
"Get up quickly." Qu Jingyun immediately stepped forward to help Yin Xue stand up.
Then he glared fiercely at Chen Song.
"Did you see that? When choosing a wife, you should choose a virtuous one. Xue'er is so good to you. If you don't cherish her, I will definitely kick you out next time and make sure you spend the rest of your life with a beggar."
Shen Song nodded very seriously.
Only then did Yin Xue notice that Shen Song seemed to have remained silent from the beginning.
Upon seeing this, Yin Xue panicked instantly.
With red-rimmed eyes, she looked helplessly at Qu Jingyun, "Mother, what's going on? Why can't my husband speak?"
"It's just poisoning, nothing serious, I'll be fine after some rest," Qu Jingyun said calmly.
Seeing that she truly didn't care about him, Shen Song lowered her eyes sadly.
Shen Yue immediately grabbed Shen Cong's arm.
"Brother, Mother is so scary."
Shen Cong was also a little scared and instinctively hugged his younger sister tightly.
Noticing that the brother and sister next to her were afraid of her, Qu Jingyun suddenly had the urge to tease them.
She deliberately put on a serious face.
“If you disobey me next time, I’ll poison you so you can’t speak.”
The two immediately covered their mouths with their hands.
They're twins, no wonder they have such great chemistry.
Qu Jingyun couldn't resist reaching out to pinch Chen Yue's cheek.
Shen Yue instinctively wanted to hide, but quickly realized that it was her mother.
Shen Yue stood frozen in place, letting Qu Jingyun pinch her.
She gently pinched her daughter's cheek. "Don't be afraid, Yue'er. I will help you resolve your issues with the Fifth Prince. As for those vile rumors outside, I will make sure they dare not say them again."
"mother."
Shen Yue threw herself into Qu Jingyun's arms and cried sadly.
She's not a child; she knows very well how bad those rumors and gossips are for her reputation.
Hearing her daughter cry sadly in her arms, Qu Jingyun's eyes also reddened.
She owes these two children so much.
Qi Yun'er suddenly ran out and hugged Shen Song.
“My poor Song’er, your mother is truly heartless. She made you kneel as soon as you came back. How could she be so cruel?”
Upon seeing Qi Yun'er, Qu Jingyun's expression instantly turned ugly.
She grabbed Qi Yun'er by the collar, lifted her up, and threw her aside.
Why did you come out?
Qi Yun'er knelt down on the ground, raised her head and looked at Qu Jingyun with teary eyes.
"Cousin, I've taken care of Song'er for five years. I'm so happy to see him back safe and sound. I just wanted to come and see him. Please, cousin, let me take a look."
As she was talking, Qi Yun'er suddenly started kowtowing to Qu Jingyun.
Shen Song stood up, blocking Qi Yun'er's way, and shook his head at Qu Jingyun.
Seeing this, Qu Jingyun was very disappointed.
She said seriously, "Chen Song, you should think this through. If you really want to side with Qi Yun'er, then I will no longer be your mother. If something happens, Qi Yun'er will help you, and I will no longer help you."
"Husband." Yin Xue hugged his arm and gently shook her head.
She then looked at Qu Jingyun and explained, "Mother, please don't be angry with your husband. He's just too kind."
Qu Jingyun let out a cold laugh.
"He's not kind, he's stupid."
The thought of such a wonderful woman like Yin Xue being paired with such a good-for-nothing idiot made Qu Jingyun wish she could go back in time and slap herself a few times.
Qu Jingyun rubbed her aching temples. "Forget it, there's no point in talking to people like this. I'm tired too. If you don't have anything else to do, you can go back now."
After saying that, she walked towards her own courtyard.
She still has to clean up the mess left by this idiot. As for Qi Yun'er, she still has other uses, so she can't be touched for the time being.
It would have been impossible for Lin Qingping to meet Shen Song if there weren't spies in the mansion.
Qi Yun'er loves money; she is the most likely candidate.
Lin Qingping might contact her again in the future, so she should keep track of her.
Seeing that the person had left, Shen Song's eyes reddened.
He clenched his fists and silently watched the direction Qu Jingyun had left in.
Yin Xue comforted her, "Husband, don't be angry with Mother. She looked very unwell when she first came back, and she's been worried about you these past few days. She hasn't had a proper rest in a long time."
Qi Yun'er snorted coldly.
“When did she ever get anxious for Song’er, Yin Xue? I know you have a good relationship with your mother-in-law, but don’t forget that Song’er is your husband. Your heart should be with your husband. Don’t say things like that again.”
After hearing what Qi Yun'er said, Yin Xue's eyes turned red with anger.
She stared straight at Qi Yun'er and mustered up her courage to speak.
"I side with my mother-in-law because she truly cares about the General's Mansion. If my aunt had succeeded, our whole family would be considered remnants of the previous dynasty, and we would probably be reunited in prison by now."
