Chapter 125 I call this killing one to warn a hundred, eliminating a scourge for the Shen family!
The others fell silent.
"Let's go find Grandma now and tell her, so she doesn't rush in recklessly and then Big Sister will try to establish her authority again!"
Shen Yuanjun and the others quickly split up to search for the person!
With the grassland behind them, there was plenty of firewood. After a few trips, the firewood was piled up into a small mountain.
Since Shen Lanxi didn't say to stop, no one dared to stop, and no one went far; they just looked for firewood nearby!
After others had gathered firewood three times, Old Madam Shen finally returned with her entire family.
"My son, my eldest son, that woman has ruined you. Your mother has been telling you this all along, why won't you listen!"
After returning, Madam Shen rushed directly into the trap where Shen Congwen and Shen Yuanhe were.
"Grandma, save me!"
As soon as Shen Yuanhe spoke, the old lady threw a handful of dirt at her face.
"You little slut, you and your aunt, why don't you just die!"
"You actually tried to drag our entire Shen family down with you, you filthy slut, you son of a bitch, you're rotten to the core!"
As she spoke, Madam Shen threw clods of dirt at Shen Yuanhe.
The latter was like a savage, screaming and crying uncontrollably!
Shen Congwen was devastated; he was ashen-faced and looked like he had lost half his life!
"My son, bear with it, I'll have Lanxi release you right away!"
A flash of resentment crossed Old Madam Shen's eyes as she quickly got up and ran towards Shen Lanxi.
"Lanxi, please release your father. He was also deceived by Zhang Zifen and her daughter."
Shen Lanxi was having a meal. This was her first formal meal of the day, and she was eating with great relish.
"Grandmother, do you also want to kneel down and coerce me?" The wild rabbit had a natural earthy smell, but fortunately, the seasoning that Wang Mama made was strong, and the rabbit was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so you could not taste the earthy smell at all.
Madam Shen froze, wishing she could curse her to death.
She's an elder, how could she possibly kneel before a junior? If anyone dares to make her kneel, isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?
"Lanxi, that's your father!"
Shen Lanxi blew her whistle to summon Xiaoxue.
"Grandmother, your second, third, and fourth uncles are also your sons. In the future, when you speak and act, think about them!"
Madam Shen's expression changed, and her face almost contorted with anger.
That brat, how dare she scare her?
When the first snow fell, Shen Lanxi gave the rabbit meat that had been dried to eat!
Madam Shen was both frightened and heartbroken.
What an unfilial child! Such good rabbit meat, instead of thinking of her, you fed it to a beast?
"Lanxi, I am your grandmother, and they are all your family!"
Shen Lanxi continued to carve the rabbit meat with a knife.
"It's precisely because you are my family that I'm willing to be stabbed in the back by my own family once is enough!"
Madam Shen paused, then forced a smile and said, "They know they were wrong. Grandmother will definitely give them a good scolding later and make sure they don't do it again!"
Shen Lanxi looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "I call this making an example of someone to warn others, and eliminating a scourge for our Shen family!"
Old Madam Shen almost lost her temper and started cursing.
That was her father, and she actually said her father was a scourge?
"Today, Shen Yuanhe betrayed me without any mercy for her own benefit. Has Grandmother ever considered that if it were my father, you, my second uncle, third uncle, or fourth uncle who were betrayed today, would they be able to keep these constables and prisoners in check like I have?"
Madam Shen's heart sank.
"So, Grandmother, sacrificing the two of them to ensure the future peace and safety of our Shen family is a very worthwhile deal!"
The smile on Old Madam Shen's face was distorted, but she still insisted on forcing a kind expression. If she came out in the middle of the night with that expression, she would definitely scare people to death!
"Lanxi, you can't say that. No matter how ruthless the methods are, you can't do that to your own family, right?"
Shen Lanxi's eyes flashed: "If Grandmother wants to save them, it's not impossible!"
Madam Shen was secretly delighted. She thought to herself, "How powerful can a little girl be? She can easily manipulate her!"
"Lanxi, I knew you were a filial and good child!"
Shen Lanxi: "Grandmother, please don't interrupt me. Let me finish!"
"If you want to release them, Grandmother, you can dig them up yourself. I guarantee no one will dare to stop you!"
Madam Shen's smile froze, and she could no longer smile.
Very well, very well indeed! The Shen family has produced such a vicious woman!
"Lanxi, you want to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Lanxi interrupted him.
"Grandmother, you'd better think it over before you speak. After all, we haven't even reached Dongchuan yet. Along the way, there are packs of wolves, assassins, and bandits. It's hard to say how many of us might die!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen felt a tightness in her chest, her vision blurred, and she staggered a couple of steps, almost falling headfirst into the fire!
"Grandmother, please don't worry about other things. Go back and rest well. Once we pass Green Pine Mountain, we'll reach the official road. At that point, there won't be any carriages left!"
Madam Shen felt a chill run through her body and dared not stay any longer. She stood up and hurriedly left in a disheveled state!
Before long, it was completely dark. Because of Shen Lanxi's exposed identity and her ruthless methods of burying her father and sister in the ground, no one dared to speak during the meal.
Even when they do speak, they only dare to whisper, their voices barely louder than the sound of the wind!
The air was damp, and there were only a few stars scattered overhead.
Liu Yan stepped forward and told Shen Lanxi what she had heard.
"I heard it's going to rain in the next couple of days!"
Shen Lanxi: "If anyone can't sleep, weave some straw raincoats and mats for future use!"
Liu Yan replied, "Preparations have already been made."
He wanted to comfort Shen Lanxi, but didn't know how to start.
"I once heard a story from someone, would you like to hear it?" He wasn't really good at comforting people, but he could make up a story.
Shen Lanxi glanced at him: "Speak!"
“Long ago, there was a hunter’s daughter who learned martial arts from her father from a young age. Later, when the court conscripted soldiers, her father happened to encounter a tiger while hunting in the mountains and injured his leg.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Lanxi's lips curled up.
Is the next story about joining the army in place of his father and becoming a general?
"...Later, this woman became a great general. She never lost a battle, and whenever she went to war, the enemy would flee at the mere mention of her name..."
Shen Lanxi's smile grew wider and wider, her laughter becoming unrestrained and boisterous.
Liu Yanhui was puzzled. He wasn't telling a joke, was he?
Seeing the person in front of him smiling happily, he also smiled back.
~
What kind of woman buries her father and sister in the ground and then laughs so happily?
"Grandmother, my aunt has a stomachache." Shen Yuanxin dawdled as he approached the old lady.
Madam Shen was also feeling unwell. She had just taken her medicine, and hearing Shen Yuanxin say this made her furious again.
"Your aunt has a stomachache, why are you looking for me? Am I a doctor?"
Madam Tian glared at Shen Yuanxin and said, "Yuanxin, your grandmother's health has already deteriorated because of your father and sister's situation. Are you trying to make her condition worse by bothering her again?"
Miao chimed in, "Yuanxin, your eldest branch may not care about your grandmother, but we do. From now on, don't bother your grandparents with matters concerning your eldest branch. They are old and it's already difficult enough for them to accompany us in exile. If they have to worry about them any more, their bodies won't be able to take it!"
