Guo Xiuran was lying naked on the ground, clutching his blood-soaked lower body, groaning and writhing in pain.
Shen Yaozu's situation wasn't much better than his.
Both were completely naked, and both were covered in blood.
Guo An was an elderly man, and he couldn't withstand such a stimulating scene. He called out "Xiuran" and then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Upon seeing this, the servants hurriedly went to report to Old Madam Shen and Shen Cang.
Shen Cang stayed in Jiang Wan's courtyard tonight. When the servant went to report the news, the two were enjoying a passionate and tender moment together.
Hearing the servants' repeated, almost desperate urging, Shen Cang was extremely displeased: "What's wrong?! Is there a fire? Why are they panicking like this?!"
"Master, you must go and see! Something has happened to the second young master."
"What's wrong with him now?" That unfilial son! There's not a single day that doesn't cause him worry!
"The Second Young Master, he, and Young Master Guo are all seriously injured. The bed and the floor are covered in blood. They may be beyond saving."
"What?!"
Now Shen Cang was fully awake.
They walked into Shen Yaozu's courtyard against the night wind. Upon entering the room, Shen Cang's legs went weak, and he almost sat down on the ground.
Guo Xiuran had already fainted; it was unclear whether he had fainted from excessive blood loss or from the pain.
The servants carried him back to his room.
Shen Yaozu sat blankly on the bed, glancing at the scissors beside him, then looking down at his blood-stained hands. He seemed to be in a state of extreme shock, stammering, "It wasn't me...it wasn't me..."
"I didn't, I didn't hurt him."
"There's a ghost! There must be a ghost!"
"It's his own problem; I don't know how it suddenly broke off."
"I didn't take these scissors!" he said, hurriedly throwing the scissors off the bed, where they landed right in front of Shen Cang's shoes.
Shen Yaozu looked over and met Shen Cang's shocked and angry gaze. He timidly said, "Father..."
Snap!
Shen Cang rushed to the bedside, slapped him across the face, then grabbed his hair, pulled him off the bed, and began punching and kicking him.
"You wicked beast! How could you do such a thing behind my back!"
"If I don't beat you to death today, I won't have the face to face the ancestors of the Shen family."
While they were arguing and beating each other, Old Madam Shen arrived after hearing the news. As always, she defended Shen Yaozu without distinguishing right from wrong.
But this time, Shen Cang was as stubborn as a turtle eating a weight, determined to teach Shen Yaozu a lesson. He even challenged Old Madam Shen, saying, "It's all your fault for spoiling him. Look at him now, he's no longer human!"
"I can accept him going to brothels, but this good-for-nothing actually slept with a man!"
"If you're going to do something, at least do something decent. Look at this rubbish you've found! I think you're really hungry! You'll eat anything!"
After listening for a while, Madam Shen finally understood what had happened.
To be honest, this is quite a shock for someone her age.
Madam Shen swayed, took two steps back as if she couldn't bear it, and slumped into a chair, saying with heartache, "Yaozu, how could you do such a thing!"
Shen Yaozu was stunned.
He never expected that even his grandmother, who had always defended him, would join his father in criticizing him.
But they don't understand anything at all!
"Heh, heh..." Shen Yaozu sneered repeatedly: "I've fallen to this state because of you all!"
"If my father hadn't always compared me to my older brother, forcing me to study and practice calligraphy, I wouldn't have been so eager to succeed, listened to that bitch Shen Qiyin's nonsense, and ended up with my reputation ruined."
"You forbid me from going to brothels, yet you yourself keep bringing one concubine after another into your household. Isn't that just talking without understanding the situation?"
Shen Cang was so angry he was practically fuming: "Fine, fine, fine..."
His hand trembled as he pointed at Shen Yaozu: "You little bastard, how dare you make fun of me!"
"If I don't let you get to know me properly today, I'm not your father!"
As Shen Cang cursed, he looked around, trying to find something handy to beat him up.
At this moment, Madam Shen was still trying to persuade Shen Yaozu, saying, "Yaozu, you are usually the most sensible and well-behaved person, what's wrong with you now?"
To everyone's surprise, Shen Yaozu launched an indiscriminate attack, saying, "And you too!"
“I told you I wanted to take Honeysuckle as my concubine, what did you agree to then? You said it was nothing, just a matter of a word or two, but what happened?”
"Shen Xiyin refuted your words in just a few words, yet you didn't dare utter a single word! And you even said you were good to me? Bah!"
"Don't think I don't know. You're only nice to me because you hope I'll become successful so you can support me and live a life of luxury. Let me tell you, don't even dream about it."
"If it weren't for you... if it weren't for you..." Shen Yaozu said softly, his eyes red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
With tears streaming down his face, he angrily accused, "If you hadn't insisted on taking in that grandfather and grandson, how could I have been unable to escape that beast and been violated by him while I was sleeping!"
"Ahhh, I'm not clean anymore."
"I'm dirty."
"My health is failing me. I can't get married or have children. What's the point of me living?"
At the height of his excitement, Shen Yaozu suddenly stood up and ran, heading straight for the wall with a fierce determination!
This scene terrified Shen Cang and Madam Shen.
