The people of Qianchuan were dumbfounded.
He instinctively glanced at the coroner beside him, silently questioning: What happened? Wasn't he dead? How did he come back to life?
The latter lowered her head guiltily, avoiding his gaze.
He didn't know what happened either.
They checked her breathing and pulse, and she was clearly dead. Who would have thought she would open her eyes again?
Could it be that he suffered some injustice and died with his eyes open in disgrace?
The coroner and Qian Chuan were completely bewildered, as were Shen Cang and Shen Mengyin.
The darkness was even more intense.
Just now, he watched helplessly as Madam Shen opened her eyes and slowly struggled to sit up from the bed. He was so frightened that his hands and feet went numb and his whole body froze.
If Shen Qiyin hadn't given him a timely injection, he would probably still be unconscious.
"Mother, Mother..." Shen Cang looked Old Madam Shen up and down anxiously, his voice trembling, "Why did you come back again? Were you worried about leaving?"
"Pooh!"
Madam Shen spat at him fiercely, looking extremely angry.
Shen Cang wiped the drool from his face, unable to hide his disgust, but still asked her, "What...what exactly happened? Weren't you dead?"
"You were hoping I'd die, but alas, you're disappointed," Old Madam Shen said sarcastically.
"...What are you saying?" Shen Cang's eyes flickered as he defended himself, "I am so happy that you are safe and sound."
"Happy?" Old Madam Shen sneered, "Then why do I look like you're about to cry?"
Shen Cang said awkwardly, "You brought me back from the dead, and I am crying tears of joy."
He persisted in asking her, "You still haven't told me what exactly happened?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen subconsciously looked at Shen Qiyin, who was silent not far away.
It all started with her last illness.
Previously, Shen Guangzong was first kicked out of his home, and then he froze to death outside. When Madam Shen learned of this, she fell ill.
At that time, Shen Cang's mind was entirely on Jiang Wan and her son, and he also harbored resentment towards the old lady, so he was unwilling to pay attention to her and only asked Shen Qiyin to treat her.
Shen Xiyin was unusually obedient; she not only prescribed medicine but also visited him from time to time.
At that time, she had a conversation with Madam Shen.
She asked her, "Grandmother, do you know why Father asked me to treat your illness? It wasn't because he trusted my medical skills, as he said, but because he didn't care whether I cured you or not."
"Or to be more precise, he would love for you to die."
“I know you don’t believe me, but we’ll wait and see. I bet that if you get sick again, he will come to treat you personally.”
...
At the time, Madam Shen did not understand the meaning behind Shen Xiyin's marriage.
She was still thinking that if she fell ill again, and Shen Cang came to treat her personally, wouldn't that just overturn her guess?
Until this very moment actually arrived.
She finally understood.
If Shen Cang didn't care about her, then her life and death were up to her. But if he actually came to treat her illness, then he was deliberately trying to kill her.
Because she kept thinking about what Shen Qiyin had said, she pretended to be asleep several times when Shen Cang came, even though she was awake, just to see what would happen.
As a result, they overheard the conversation between Shen Cang and Shen Mengyin.
The father and daughter were actually plotting to poison her!
She was furious!
I wish I could open my eyes right now and slap that father and daughter.
But then she thought, they already harbored the intention to harm him. If they found out that she had seen through their scheme, what if they became desperate and did something rash?
Therefore, she could only pretend not to know and wait patiently.
She has to wait for Shen Xiyin to arrive.
Since that girl kindly reminded me, I suppose I won't stand idly by.
During the time she was ill, Shen Qiyin only visited Zhuijintang twice.
One time, he came over during the day and gave her the drug to fake her death.
On another occasion, prior to this, she helped her come up with the idea of "faking her death" to expose the rotten-hearted father and daughter.
Pulling herself out of her memories, when Qian Chuan asked her if she knew who had put poison in her mouth, Madam Shen, under everyone's gaze, decisively pointed at Shen Mengyin!
Or they might collapse to the ground, yet stubbornly insist, "No, it wasn't me!"
"Grandmother, have you been bewitched by someone?"
"Ever since you fell ill, Mengyin has been taking care of you without leaving your side. Have you forgotten?"
Before Madam Shen could speak, Li Zhenzhu retorted sharply, "How could I forget? The bedsores on my lower back are excruciatingly painful; I'm afraid I'll never forget them for the rest of my life."
Her words made Old Madam Shen even angrier.
She quickly said to Qian Chuan and the others, "It's this little hussy who caused all this trouble. You guys need to lock her up right now!"
"No!" Shen Mengyin refused to give in and struggled desperately, saying, "Grandmother, you clearly had no pulse just now, and the coroner also examined you. You are indeed dead."
"If that's the case, how do you know who harmed you?"
She was indeed planning to poison her.
But who could have imagined that she would pass away before she could even put her plan into action?
At this point, she could be considered to have achieved her goal.
The problem is, her goal wasn't just that.
She even wanted to smear Shen Qiyin!
So, even after Madam Shen died, she still managed to poison her, all to frame Shen Qiyin.
Who would have thought he'd fallen for her trap!
