Upon hearing someone call out "Second Cousin," Shen Dan instinctively assumed that it was referring to her.
Turning her head, she saw a sharp sword piercing towards her chest. She quickly pinched the hilt with her fingers, and with a little force, it broke.
The man with the sword was slightly taken aback; this woman had actually broken his precious sword.
hateful.
What kind of monster is this?
Anyone who didn't know better would think his sword was made of paper.
He held the broken hilt of his sword and thrust it at Shen Danru, his eyes filled with resentment. This was his most treasured possession, and this woman had broken it just like that.
But Shen Danru was faster than him; half of the broken sword pierced his chest, and it was uncertain whether he would survive.
Seeing this, no one dared to provoke Shen Danru anymore.
She stepped forward, pulled Sun Zhong and Sun Shi over, and used them as targets to vent her anger.
Anyone who dares to harm his family will pay the price.
Shen Danru's punch, accompanied by a whistling wind, struck directly at the opponent's heart.
"Stop hitting me. I'm from the Azure Dragon Escort Agency. If anything happens to me, the Azure Dragon Escort Agency won't let you off the hook."
Sun Zhong retreated repeatedly, threatening him incessantly.
He believed that as long as he brought up the Azure Dragon Escort Agency, Shen Danru would immediately give up.
After all, few people are willing to offend the Azure Dragon Escort Agency.
When Sun Zhong mentioned the Azure Dragon Escort Agency, it reminded her of that man, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Okay, I also want to know why they won't let me off the hook."
He kicked Sun Zhong away, sending him flying into the wall and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
Chen, wielding a club, began to strike Chen Cheng like a madwoman.
She had thought that Shen Cheng would stand still and let her vent as she pleased, but Shen Cheng did not.
Shen Cheng snatched the mallet from her hand and struck Chen Shi with it.
This was the first time he had fought back; he wanted to return all the harm the Chen family had done to him over the years.
If it weren't for her, his mother wouldn't have died, and he could have grown up by her side, enjoying her love.
The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, and the stronger Shen Cheng became.
As his movements became more vigorous, his wounds tore open, and blood soaked through his clothes, but he felt no pain whatsoever.
Shen was stunned by the beating.
"Chen Cheng, I raised you, and this is how you treat me?"
Shen Cheng sneered: "You raised me? I've been helping with chores around the house since I was two years old. Over the past few decades, I've done every single chore, inside and out. As for the debt of raising me, I've already paid it back. But what about the life you owe my mother?"
“If you hadn’t killed my mother, I would still be a child with a mother, and I wouldn’t have been abused by you as I grew up. How dare you say you would raise me?”
Ms. Chen looked incredulous.
This son, whom she had always controlled since childhood, actually dared to talk back to her.
"You bastard..."
This was a phrase Shen Cheng often heard since he was a child. His mother would call him a bastard at the drop of a hat, but at the time he didn't understand why his mother would curse her son like that.
Now everything is clear.
Shen Cheng closed his eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine.
The more Chen cursed, the harder Shen Cheng hit her. In the end, she kept hiding but dared not curse anymore.
For the past two or three decades, she has been enjoying a life of leisure at home, never doing any work or engaging in any activities. How could she possibly have escaped Chen Cheng's clutches?
Before long, Chen was too exhausted to run. She sat on the ground, being hit by a stick, and screamed in pain.
Chen kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, please let us go."
Old Man Shen hid in the house, thankful that he hadn't gone out to get involved; otherwise, he would be the one getting beaten up now.
"It's too late. When you killed my mother, why didn't you think of letting her go? When you beat me when I was little, why didn't you think of letting me go?"
In the end, Shen Cheng spared her life.
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong...?"
After venting her emotions, Shen Danru seemed to have used up all her strength and then fainted.
Sun Zhong and Sun Shi were in an even worse situation; most of the people they brought with them were barely breathing.
...
"Shu'er, you're all Grandma has left."
“Your fourth uncle had his hand chopped off by that bastard. You must avenge him.”
After Shen Yushu returned home from his vacation, Chen told him all about it, and that's when he learned about all the things that had happened at home recently.
My father and mother didn't come out that day, which is how they escaped this disaster. My third uncle didn't come back from town, and my third aunt's family also hid in the house. My grandfather seemed to be alright, but my grandmother and fourth uncle were badly injured. The most serious injury was to my fourth uncle, who will only have one hand left.
Seeing that Chen was covered in wounds and could no longer be recognized, he felt only disgust.
How could these foolish, lowly country folk be worthy of being Shen Yushu's family?
When he becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination…
The first thing he did was kick all those country bumpkins out. It would be incredibly embarrassing if his classmates found out he had such stupid family members.
It was Chen Lang who suggested that Chen Lang take Shen Danru away; that's when Chen Shi told Chen Lang.
I never expected them to actually do this... They're really more trouble than they're worth.
Shen Yushu held Chen's hand, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes.
"Grandma, don't worry. Once I pass the imperial examination with top honors, I will order their entire family to be executed."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen nodded in satisfaction.
She knew that her son was the most filial.
Twelve years ago, a Taoist priest passed through Shangqing Village and happened to ask Old Shen for a bowl of water.
The old Taoist priest said that water shouldn't be drunk for nothing, so he performed a divination for the Shen family.
This calculation is significant; according to the divination, the Shen family will produce a top scholar in the future.
This delighted Mr. Chen.
