As Shen Yuan followed Shen Wei into the Wude Academy, she gestured to Xiao Ling, instructing him to take the opportunity to leave the General's Mansion with Granny Liu, Tian Tian, and Doctor Jiang.
Having no weakness, she dared to confront these people without leaving herself any way out.
She could put her own grudge aside and go get revenge on her mother first.
Perhaps Xiao Ling was no match for Shen Wei before, but now that Shen Wei has broken two ribs and has an injury on his arm, he will probably have a hard time wielding the knife.
As long as Xiao Ling can keep Shen Wei occupied, the rest can be left to her to deal with.
Seeing Xiao Ling swing his knife at Shen Wei, Shen Yuan attacked Jiang Shi from the other side with a dagger. Jiang Shi screamed and tried to dodge, but because she was a fraction too slow, Shen Yuan slashed her back and left a bloody gash.
She let out a wail and shouted towards the door, "Fools, why aren't you in here protecting your master? Where are all the guards? Help! Someone's going to kill us!"
Before the maidservant guarding the door could make a move, she heard another command.
While dodging Xiao Ling's attacks with tables and chairs, Shen Wei shouted sternly towards the door, "Close the door! No one is allowed to come in without my order!"
"General..."
Jiang looked at Shen Wei in disbelief, not understanding what he meant.
Shen Changshu and Shen Qingshu were so frightened that they hid in the arms of the two elders of the Jiang family, and the four of them huddled in a corner, not daring to move.
They wanted to go out, but the door was closed from the outside...
With a "crack," the tea table beneath Shen Wei was cleaved in two by Xiao Ling's blade. Fortunately, Shen Wei reacted quickly and picked up a low stool from the ground, blocking Xiao Ling's next swing of the blade.
Otherwise, his right hand would have been chopped off.
Shen Wei looked at Xiao Ling's face, which was so close to his own, and tried to reach out to pull off the mask on his face, but Xiao Ling easily dodged him.
Shen Wei couldn't get a clear look at Xiao Ling's face before the two of them instantly separated.
Shen Wei asked, "Who exactly are you? How do you know the Azure Cloud Saber Technique?"
Xiao Ling did not answer, and slashed at Shen Wei with his sword again.
It seemed that as long as Shen Yuan didn't tell him to stop, he would keep chopping.
On the other side, the dagger in Shen Yuan's hand was plunged into Jiang's thigh. She fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move, and begged Shen Yuan for mercy in pain.
"Yuanyuan, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Just for your mother's sake, please let me go, okay? I'm your own aunt!"
With her hands behind her back, Shen Yuan strode toward Jiang Shi: "You asked me to let you go, but have you let my mother go, or let the child in her womb go?"
"I...I was bewitched back then, my mistake was...my mistake was loving your father too much..." Jiang Shi covered her blood-soaked leg and looked at Shen Wei with teary eyes.
Shen Yuan sneered: "Someone like you, can love someone?"
"All you love is the power and wealth of the General's Mansion; all you love is the thrill of snatching things from others; the only person you love is yourself!"
“You don’t even love your own child. You know that Xiao Yuncheng is not a good son-in-law, but you covet the wealth and glory of the Crown Prince’s mansion and still send your daughter into the tiger’s den.”
"From beginning to end, all you've ever loved is wealth and status, and yourself!"
"I..." In front of her child, Jiang wanted to argue, but she couldn't utter a single word. She could only continue to beg for mercy: "I love money because I used to live a very miserable life."
“We are both daughters of the Jiang family, but your mother can wear gold and silver and represent the Jiang family at various banquets in the capital with dignity. But I can only be like a rat in the gutter, wearing and wearing things that your mother used!”
“Even your husband was someone your mother had used. I’m not reconciled! I’ve endured so many years of hardship, only to take the wrong path, one wrong step leading to another…”
"Now that you know you're wrong, then pay for it with your life!"
As Shen Yuan spoke, she reached out and pulled the dagger from Jiang's leg, then stabbed it into her heart.
Seeing this, Shen Wei quickly raised his hand to block Xiao Ling's knife and shouted to Shen Yuan, "Yuan Yuan, you can't have any lives on your hands! I promise you, and I promise your mother's spirit in heaven, that I will give you and your mother an explanation!"
After saying that, Shen Wei looked at Xiao Ling again: "I can see that you care about Yuan Yuan a lot. Do you want a young girl like her to be blinded by hatred and have her hands covered in blood?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment with the knife in his hand.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Wei broke free from Xiao Ling's restraint, rushed forward, and stood in front of Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan gripped the dagger in her hand, glanced at Jiang Shi and the two elders of the Jiang family, and asked one last time, "So, you agree to send this murderer and his two accomplices to see the authorities?"
Shen Wei closed his eyes and, as if making up his mind, called out towards the door, "Someone, go and invite Lord Fu of the Court of Judicial Review. Tell him there is a murder case to be investigated at the General's Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wei collapsed to the ground, deflated.
Jiang, her face filled with terror, crawled a few steps to Shen Wei's side: "You, you can't report this to the authorities... We've been husband and wife for seventeen years... How could you send me to prison and watch me die?"
Shen Wei lowered his eyes and took one last look at Madam Jiang: "Yuan Yuan is right. Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes. You are, and so am I."
As dawn approached, people from the Dali Temple arrived, and Jiang Shi and her two elders were all bound and taken away.
Shen Changshu and Shen Qingshu were taken back to their own courtyards, while Shen Wei, dragging his ailing body, returned to his study. Shen Yuan did not visit him again, as the General's Mansion had its own physician.
As dawn broke, Shen Yuan returned to the small courtyard in the west of the city where she had lived when she first arrived in the capital.
The courtyard has been furnished with many new items, and the furniture is complete and comfortable.
When Shen Yuan and Xiao Ling returned, Doctor Jiang and Granny Liu were still asleep. However, Xiao Jinmeng woke up and saw that there was blood on the hem of Shen Yuan and Xiao Ling's clothes. Suddenly, she felt that her brother and Sister Yuan Yuan were quite a good match.
Both of them exuded a murderous aura.
Xiao Jinmeng smiled and said, "Let me boil some water for you so you can take a bath and change your clothes! Otherwise, you might scare Grandma!"
"good."
Shen Yuan responded and wearily walked into her old room.
So much had happened that night that she felt tired and wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Perhaps in dreams, there aren't so many evil people in this world who disregard human life for their own selfish reasons!
After taking a shower, Shen Yuan lay on the bed and slept for a while.
Hearing Liu Mama's voice coming from the next room, Shen Yuan instantly woke up. She put on her outer robe and ran into Liu Mama's room.
Granny Liu has woken up and is drinking the medicine that Doctor Jiang prepared for her.
Upon seeing Shen Yuan, Granny Liu quickly put down the medicine bowl and reached out to hug Shen Yuan, who was rushing towards her.
She nestled against Shen Yuan's shoulder and neck, her voice choked with emotion: "Yuan Yuan, that's wonderful! I remember everything! I finally know who I am, and I finally know where Yuan Yuan came from!"
"Thanks to Heaven, I have not failed your kindness!"
