No longer caring about her image as a young lady of the Duke's mansion, Shen Yingxue tried to grab Shen Danru by the neck.
However, Shen Danru kicked her several meters away.
She approached Shen Yingxue step by step, stepping on her chest with one foot.
His gaze was like a knife, piercing every inch of Shen Yingxue's skin, and Shen Yingxue was so frightened that she backed away.
"If you dare to lay a finger on my older sister, I'll take your life."
Xu and Ke realized what was happening and hurriedly ordered their servants, "Quick, grab her!"
Only those around Madam Xu and Madam Ke dared to step forward and try to separate Shen Danru and Shen Yingxue, but they were stopped by those around Shen Danru.
"You, you all, this is outrageous! Guards, where are the guards? Seize this wicked woman!"
The guards did not move an inch.
This was not only because Shen Danru was granted the title of Princess, but also because the Duke had privately instructed that as long as he was not in the Duke's mansion, he should first follow the arrangements of the Second Miss Shen Danru.
This shows how much the Duke doted on this granddaughter.
Today, the eunuch Yu, who is by the Emperor's side, is extremely respectful to Princess Chaoyun, which shows that she is no ordinary person.
Zhou was dumbfounded, never expecting Ru'er to be so bold.
It was one thing to commit violence in Shangqing Village, but to do so in the Duke's Mansion was another.
Fearing that the guards would actually tie up Shen Danru, which would then implicate her other children, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop them:
"Ru'er, stop! You can't hit her..."
However, Shen Danru ignored her.
Mrs. Xu was so angry she could hardly breathe.
The more Ke shouted, the more fiercely Shen Danru beat Shen Yingxue.
When Ke stopped shouting and cursing, Shen Danru also stopped.
She clapped her hands as if they were dirty.
Madam Xu gritted her teeth in anger: "You, you, you've gone too far! You just wait..."
Shen Danru squinted and said, "I will be waiting for Madam Xu at any time."
Shen Danru's disregard for Madam Xu made Madam Xu so angry that she rolled her eyes and fainted.
The two nannies quickly stepped forward to help Madam Xu.
Shen Zijin stepped forward and said, "Shen Danru, you've gone too far. You've made my grandmother faint."
“Since I’m the one who made Madam Xu faint, and I have some medical knowledge, why don’t I try to see if I can revive her?”
Shen Zijin tried to stop her, but Shen Danru pushed him away.
She took out an enormous steel needle from the system and walked over.
The old lady's maidservant thought that Shen Danru really knew medicine, so she quickly stepped aside and said, "Princess, please take a look at the old lady."
Shen Danru walked up to her and said in a sinister tone, "Madam Xu, please forgive me."
Just as the steel needle was about to be inserted, two coughs were heard, and Old Madam Xu woke up.
She was startled when she opened her eyes and saw the needle in Shen Danru's hand.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and sensed something was wrong with what Shen Danru was saying, so she quickly woke up.
Shen Zijin rushed forward: "Grandmother, are you alright?"
Madam Xu said, "Zijin, quickly help me back to my room."
Shen Danru walked up to Shen Yulan and asked with concern, "Big sister, are you alright?"
Shen Yulan knew that her second sister had hit her to protect her older sister.
She felt both touched and worried, fearing that her second sister might cause trouble.
She suddenly clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain, and said, "Second Sister, quickly help me back to the Heart Palace, my stomach hurts..."
Shen Danru hurriedly helped Shen Yulan up, and glared at Shen Yingxue before leaving.
That glance was filled with murderous intent, which made Shen Yingxue tremble in fear.
Shen Danru clearly wanted to kill her, but she couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Upon seeing this, Zhou felt resentful that Shen Danru had acted rashly, ultimately causing Yulan to have a miscarriage.
She wanted to follow them to see what was happening, but the old lady Xu's maid stopped her, saying that the old lady Xu had invited her.
She dared not offend Madam Xu, and glanced at Shen Yulan's retreating figure.
Thinking that Yu Lan would be fine with Ru'er by her side, she followed the nanny.
Upon arriving at Qingyin Courtyard, Tai Kangping noticed that Shen Yulan looked unwell and quickly stepped forward to ask, "Lan'er, what's wrong?"
Shen Yulan gently shook her head, not wanting Tai Kangping to worry.
After Shen Yulan moved to the Duke's Mansion, Tai Kangping followed her, while Tai's parents continued to live in their original residence.
Shen Yulan knew that although she had been recognized by her relatives, as a married woman, she should continue to live in the Duke's mansion to avoid gossip.
Thinking about her impending childbirth, she decided to return to her original residence, the Shen Mansion.
Shen Yulan said, "Second sister, I'm fine, but you must be careful."
Shen Danru knew in her heart that her elder sister was faking it all, just to ensure her own escape unscathed.
She nodded and replied, "Big sister, you should also take care of yourself."
Then she instructed the people of Qingyin Courtyard: "Guard the gates strictly and do not let anyone in. If anyone wants to see my elder sister, tell them to come to me."
The servants replied in unison, "Yes."
Shen Danru: "Eldest sister, you and your husband should go inside and rest first. I'll handle the rest."
Then she instructed Tai Kangping, "Brother-in-law, my sister is going through a special period right now. Your brother will handle the business matters, so you can rest assured and take care of her."
Tai Kangping said, "Second sister, don't worry."
He naturally understood which was more important.
Since his wife became pregnant, he has been worried every day, fearing that she might die during childbirth like his first wife.
Therefore, he stayed by Shen Yulan's side every day, afraid that she might feel unwell.
Just as Shen Danru returned to Muxue Garden, more good news arrived.
Shen Yutang repeatedly made military achievements and was praised by the emperor for capturing an enemy general.
During the court session, the emperor summoned him to the palace and immediately appointed him as a first-rank general of the cavalry.
Everyone in the Duke of Shen's mansion was overjoyed, except for Shen Tuo's lineage, who all kept a straight face.
Shen Danru smiled at Qingtan: "Good sister, you can wait to marry my second brother and become a general's wife in the future."
A blush rose to Qingtan's face, adding a touch of girlish shyness.
She muttered under her breath, "I never said I wanted to marry him."
"Really?"
Shen Danru tilted her head to look at her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A blush crept onto Qingtan's face. She glared at her reproachfully, then turned and ran away quickly.
A string of silvery laughter lingered in my ears.
Seeing Qingtan's figure, which resembled a joyful little deer, Shen Danru was also happy for her.
In the afternoon, a servant rushed in to report that the Duke had ordered Shen Danru to go to the main hall.
Shen Danru sensed that something was about to happen.
When she arrived at the main hall, she discovered that her grandfather had notified everyone in the Duke's mansion.
People gradually entered the main hall, and the atmosphere became tense.
After another incense stick's time, almost everyone had arrived.
When Shen Shi noticed that Shen Yulan was absent, he instructed his servants, "Go and see Yulan. Why hasn't she come over yet?"
Shen Danru hurriedly replied, "Grandfather, my eldest sister is resting quietly in the courtyard because her pregnancy is unstable."
"Oh? What happened?"
Chen Shi frowned, his face revealing concern.
Worried that Shen Danru would shift the blame to Shen Yingxue, Madam Ke hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle, please do justice for Yingxue."
