Chapter 243 Hypnosis, Action
"Pianran, don't be sad. I'll give you a gift," Chen Man suddenly said to Shen Pianran.
Shen Pianran was taken aback. "Huh? What gift?"
"Look, what's this?" Chen Man raised her hand, palm down, and something fell from her palm, immediately attracting Shen Pianran's attention.
"A pocket watch." Shen Pianran stared intently at the object in Chen Man's hand.
“It’s a pocket watch.” Chen Man smiled and said, “Take a closer look, isn’t it pretty?”
After hearing Chen Man's words, Shen Pianran leaned closer and stared intently at the pocket watch.
But the pocket watch was moving too fast, and the more Shen Pianran tried to see it clearly, the blurrier her vision became.
"Graceful, graceful? A deep, graceful..."
Shen Pianran could hear Chen Man calling her name, but she couldn't open her mouth to answer.
She could only feel her consciousness gradually becoming more and more blurred, until finally she completely lost consciousness.

When Shen's father couldn't find Shen Pianran at home, he dragged Shen Bingwei out and beat him up.
Shen Bingwei was no match for Shen's father. He had been weak since childhood and could not possibly defeat Shen's father, who had served in the army.
Shen Bingwei was beaten by his father and ran all over the yard.
Even after hitting him, Shen's father was still not satisfied. In the end, he grabbed Shen Bingwei by the back of the neck and punched him several times.
Shen Bingwei was beaten until he screamed in pain.
Shen's father, who hadn't hit anyone in a long time, was now beating people with great pleasure.
The sins of the father must be visited upon the son. Similarly, since Shen Pianran caused trouble and ran away, he, as her father, must bear the consequences.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get over this.
If anyone dares to harm his precious grandson, he'll beat them to a pulp!
Mr. Shen was so engrossed in the fight that no one could stop him. In the end, it was Old Master Shen who heard the commotion outside and came out of the house, trembling, to stop Mr. Shen.
Upon meeting the old man, Shen's father told him about how Shen Pianran had poisoned the egg custard she fed to the child.
“My daughter is usually very kind, how could she do such a thing!” Shen Bingwei naturally had to speak up for Shen Pianran at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen's expression immediately changed. "Nonsense! How could Pianran possibly do such a thing!"
Mr. Shen saw that even now, the old man was still protecting his younger brother's family.
Shen Pianran has caused quite a stir this time, and now she's even setting her sights on two babies who are just over three months old.
Now that the truth has been revealed, the old man's first reaction is still disbelief.
This matter should have been reported to the police, but Jiang Ning analyzed several drawbacks.
Firstly, none of them personally witnessed Shen Pianran administering the drug.
Secondly, even if the egg custard were taken out for testing, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and it would be easy for Shen Pianran to come up with a reasonable excuse to get away.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh.
In this era without surveillance, investigating anything is incredibly difficult.
To Old Master Shen, it was absurd to say that there was no evidence or proof.
Even Grandpa Shen doesn't believe it, so how can we expect the police officers to believe it?
Now that Jiang Ning knows Shen Pianran's intentions, she must be even more wary of her.
When Old Master Shen saw the grim look on Shen's father's face, his heart sank.
He knew that although his eldest son was stubborn, he would never lie, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten so many times by him since he was a child.
Did Pianran really do something wrong?
Finally, the old man sighed, "I will ask Pianran about this when she comes back."
Mr. Shen simply did not believe that the old man would do anything to Shen Pianran.
In the evening, Xu Jin came to the Shen family's house.
She said she was entrusted by Shen Mo to take care of Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning also knew that Xu Jin came at Shen Mo's behest, as Shen Mo was going to lead the troops into the mountains for training in the next two days.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to tell Shen Mo about Shen Pianran putting drugs in the child's egg custard, but after learning that Shen Mo was going to lead a training exercise, she didn't say anything.
Shen Mo became increasingly uneasy because he couldn't return to the Shen family to be with Jiang Ning tonight. After thinking for a while, he called Xu Jin and asked her to stay with Jiang Ning for the next two days while he was away.
Without saying a word, Xu Jin rushed to the Shen family.
She also brought the toys she bought for Lezhi and Nanxing.
Xu Jin slept next to Jiang Ning at night.
After sleeping next to Jiang Ning for one night, she experienced firsthand the hardships of being a mother.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had to get up every two hours to feed her two children, she felt sorry for Jiang Ning.
With Shen Mo helping to take care of the child at night, Jiang Ning isn't actually that tired.
In the morning, Xu Jin and Jiang Ning woke up to the reveille and the baby's cries from the retirement compound. Xu Jin saw Jiang Ning breastfeeding the baby. She had just woken up and needed to go to the toilet to relieve herself.
When Xu Jin came out of the restroom, something flashed in front of her. She seemed to notice something and looked up towards the door. She immediately saw a figure walk by and head straight for Jiang Ning's room.
Upon seeing the figure, Xu Jin recognized the person.
"Shen Pianran!"
After Xu Jin called her name, she saw the figure pause for a moment, and then quickly run towards Jiang Ning's room.
Xu Jin sensed something was wrong, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran after him.
The closer I get, the more uneasy I feel.
Xu Jin had already guessed what Shen Pianran was holding.
It's a knife!
What was she doing taking a knife to Jiang Ning's room?!
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Jin immediately shouted, "Ningning, close the door quickly!"
At that moment, Jiang Ning, who was breastfeeding her child, heard Xu Jin's voice and her body reacted instinctively.
But when she hurried to the door, she was still a step too late.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Pianran had already arrived at the door.
Jiang Ning's eyes were empty when she saw the kitchen knife in Shen Pianran's hand, but she shouted, "Jiang Ning, go to hell!"
Before Jiang Ning could think too much, she swiftly turned around and dodged Shen Pianran's slash.
Seeing that her first strike missed, Shen Pianran immediately swung her sword down again.
Jiang Ning saw the stool on the ground and immediately picked it up to block the attack, causing Shen Pianran's second strike to hit the stool.
Just as Shen Pianran was about to make her third strike, Xu Jin arrived and kicked Shen Pianran's hand.
