In the clinic, Sheng Yunrong personally took off Deng Wan's coat, revealing her battered back. She carefully applied plaster to Deng Wan, using gentle techniques to avoid hurting her. Deng Wan clenched her teeth, trying not to let out a painful groan.

"Mrs. Sheng, why are you so nice to me?" Deng Wan couldn't help but ask, with gratitude and confusion flashing in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong stopped what she was doing and looked at Deng Wan, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Deng Wan, do you still remember the first time you saw me?"

Deng Guan nodded slightly and recalled: "I was playing in the garden at that time, and you suddenly appeared in front of me. I was shocked by your beauty and temperament. I still remember you smiled and touched my head, saying that I had a lucky face."

Sheng Yunrong smiled, with nostalgia in her eyes: "Yes, I thought you were a lovely child at that time. Later, I chose you as the future daughter-in-law of the Qin family because I thought you were kind and smart, and could be a good partner for Qin Fengyun."

Deng Wan's eyes flashed with joy, but then turned dim again: "But, Madam Sheng, why did Qin Fengyun suddenly cancel the marriage? What did I do wrong?"

Sheng Yunrong sighed, her expression became complicated: "Deng Wan, this is not your fault. Qin Fengyun suddenly changed his mind because he met another person and he fell in love with her."

Deng Wan's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes: "Who is that person? What's so good about her that could make Qin Fengyun give up our ten-year engagement?"

Sheng Yunrong shook her head, unwilling to explain too much: "Deng Wan, no one can explain things like feelings clearly. Although Qin Fengyun's decision disappoints me, I can't force him. I'm just worried about you. You are such a kind child, you shouldn't be treated like this."

Deng Wan lowered her head, tears falling down her cheeks: "Mrs. Sheng, I know you treat me well, but I am really in pain. Everything I have done for Qin Fengyun has gone to waste. I don't even know what to do next."

Sheng Yunrong gently patted Deng Wan's shoulder and said firmly: "Deng Wan, you have to believe in yourself. You are a strong girl. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will support you. Moreover, I believe you will meet someone who truly knows how to cherish you."

Deng Wan raised his head and looked at Sheng Yunrong, with a determined light in his eyes: "Mrs. Sheng, thank you for your encouragement. I will work hard to make myself better and no longer suffer from the past."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and nodded, feeling relieved for Deng Wan's strength. She put a coat on Deng Wan, took her out of the clinic, and returned to Deng's house.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Deng Wan steadily and asked in a low voice, "What on earth has Madam Deng been busy with recently? The young ladies in the mansion are also busy. Is there something big going on?"

Deng Wan lowered his head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Madam, I don't know much either. It's just that grandma has been very busy recently, leaving early and returning late every day, and the young ladies in the mansion are also busy, as if there is some secret."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes turned cold, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself: Secret? I'm afraid he is selling off his property behind your back?

Deng Wan's face changed slightly. Although she didn't know the details, she had some guesses in her mind, but she just didn't want to believe it. She raised her head, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Madam, I will pay attention to this matter. If there is anything unusual, I will let you know."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with admiration in her eyes: "Okay, I believe you. But this matter is of great importance, you must be careful."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the back door of Deng's house.

It was dusk at this time, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the two people, reflecting their tense expressions.

Sheng Yunrong said, "Deng Wan, your grandmother must have her reasons for doing this. But you also know that the situation in the mansion is not what you see. I am worried that she will be used by those forces, and then our Deng Mansion will be in danger."

Deng Wan bit her lower lip tightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Madam, I will pay attention to grandmother's movements and try to find out her intentions."

Sheng Yunrong patted Deng Wan on the shoulder and softened her tone: "I know you are a smart kid. This matter is of great importance. You must be careful. If you need any help, just ask."

Deng Wan nodded, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Madam, thank you for your concern. I will do my best to protect the Deng Mansion."

Sheng Yunrong took out an exquisite pearl necklace from her sleeve and handed it to Deng Wan: "This necklace is a gift from me to you as a token of my gratitude. You must keep it well. You can use it to deal with emergencies at critical moments."

Deng Wan took the necklace, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She knew that the necklace was worth a lot of money, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for Sheng Yunrong's concern: "Madam, this gift is too expensive, I...I can't accept it."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Silly child, this is my reward for you, please accept it."

Deng Guan looked at Sheng Yunrong with tears in his eyes and said gratefully: "Madam, I will remember your teachings and live up to your expectations."

Sheng Yunrong nodded with satisfaction, took Deng Guan's hand, and continued walking along the path to the back door.

Deng Wan was wrapped in her warm big hands, and felt even warmer in his heart.

Sheng Yunrong suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously, "Deng Wan, is the woman who hit you just now your mother?"

Deng Wan's eyes dimmed instantly when she heard this. She nodded slightly and forced a bitter smile: "Yes, madam. My so-called 'mother' was once the top prostitute in the brothel. Her name was Rushuang. She was forced to marry my father in order to escape that kind of life."

Sheng Yunrong covered her mouth in surprise when she heard this. She had not expected Deng Wan's life story to be so complicated. She asked softly, "What about the new mistress you mentioned earlier?"

Deng Guan sighed, his eyes revealing sadness: "The new mistress is my father's second wife. She was originally a guest of my father's VIP. Later, because of my father's favor, she became my stepmother."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Deng Wan's expression and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. She asked tentatively, "Do you hate her?"

Deng Wan shook his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No hatred, I know she is innocent. But I always feel that I am sorry for my mother and prevented her from becoming the real mistress of the Deng Mansion."

As she spoke, Deng Wan's eyes became moist. Sheng Yunrong saw this and quickly handed over a handkerchief, comforting her softly, "Deng Wan, you don't have to blame yourself. Your mother must have had her reasons for choosing that kind of life. Besides, you have become the eldest daughter of the Deng family, you should be proud of your mother."

Deng Wan took the handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, with a grateful smile on her face: "Thank you, ma'am. I know you are trying to comfort me. But I really want my mother to live a good life and don't want her to suffer anymore."
