The carriage had barely stopped in front of the house when they heard Tian Guifen's anxious screams, Shen Wanli's furious curses, and the sound of someone being hit coming from the courtyard...
In short, it's a complete mess.
Amidst all the noise, Shen Yishan precisely discerned his wife's cries of pain...
"Ahe!"
Shen Yishan threw down his riding whip and rushed straight into the courtyard.
But the door to the east wing was tightly shut, and the woman's shrill screams pierced through...
Tian Guifen stopped Shen Yishan, her eyes red, and said, "Your wife is giving birth right now, you can't go in and make things worse."
Even she, who should have been too anxious and trembling, was kicked out!
Now, only Madam Fu, Dasheng's wife, and the old doctor are inside.
"What's wrong? Ah He is in pain! I need to go in, I need to stay with her!" Shen Yishan pushed Tian Guifen so hard that she fell over.
But the next moment, they were stopped by Shen Erming and Shen Sanlin.
Tian Guifen also hurriedly got up, her face covered in tears, and grabbed Chen Yishan, crying and shouting, "What can you do if you go in now? You'll only cause more trouble and make things worse! Listen to me, you wait outside."
"Mother, Ah He is in so much pain, how can I wait outside? She's my wife!"
Shen Yishan struggled, but was subdued by his two younger brothers and could not break free at all.
Tian Guifen's face was covered in tears: "Going in now will only make things worse! You have to trust the old doctor. All you can do now is wait patiently!"
Who wouldn't want to go in?
Her daughter-in-law is inside, hovering on the brink of death, and she wants to go in too.
But that won't work.
She was too flustered; she worried that going in would only cause more trouble and delay the old doctor's treatment of her daughter-in-law.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Shen Liuliu, her face pale, rushed over and hugged her mother's leg. The surrounding noise made her little head spin like a tangled mess.
How could something have happened to my sister-in-law?
She was too anxious and didn't listen carefully to what Little Grey was saying.
"Your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law..."
"Shen Wanli, go ahead and kill me if you dare! I'm a scholar now! If you kill me, your whole family will pay with their lives!"
Suddenly, a young man's roar came from the backyard, as if he was trying his best to endure some kind of pain.
Shen Liuliu was stunned for a moment.
Shen Tiantian seemed even more frightened, dropping everything in her hands and muttering to herself, her face pale, "...Shen Pengfei?"
Judging from that voice, isn't that Shen Pengfei?
Shen Liuliu's expression changed instantly, her eyes widened, and she immediately scurried off to the backyard on her short legs.
In the backyard, Shen Pengfei lay on the snow, looking disheveled, his face a mix of blue and red, with blood still flowing in some places.
Shen Wanli, on the other hand, was furious, holding a stick as thick as his wrist in his hand, and the cracking sound of his bones from his clenched fist could be heard.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? No matter if you're a scholar or a high-ranking official, you came to my house to rob me and kill me! You deserve to be beaten to death!"
Shen Wanli's eyes widened in anger, his molars clenched so tightly they ached.
He now only regrets not killing that beast immediately!
That's why I'm in this trouble now!
Despite his disheveled state, Shen Pengfei sneered and raised an eyebrow provocatively, saying, "Then why don't you give it a try?"
With a ferocious expression, Shen Pengfei made a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.
If you don't want him to have an easy time, then you should all just die.
Why is it that he is the only one who cannot get what he wants?
Do you think I wouldn't dare?
"Father!"
Shen Liuliu's heart was in her throat. She staggered over, grabbed her father's cold hand, and said breathlessly, "Report to the authorities."
Don't hit people.
Just report it to the authorities.
It would be too much of a waste to do something irreparable wrong for someone like that.
"Liu Liu, go back quickly. Don't worry, Daddy knows he'll have to report it to the authorities." Shen Wanli forced a change in his mood and spoke to his daughter with a gentle tone. "But Daddy just wants to beat him up before reporting it to the authorities, just to vent my anger."
Of course, we should report it to the authorities.
Am I supposed to kill him with my own hands? And then get arrested myself?
That's not possible.
"Oh, I see. Daddy, you scared me to death!"
Shen Liuliu let out a soft, childlike voice, patted her chest, and let out a happy sigh of relief.
It's good that Father hasn't lost his mind.
To remain rational even in this situation, she truly deserves to be called her father!
"Go and keep your mother company." Shen Wanli's cold eyes stared at Shen Pengfei, who was crawling on the ground like a bedbug.
He didn't originally intend to go to extremes in many things.
But Shen Pengfei crossed his bottom line.
"good."
Shen Liuliu walked away, turning back every few steps.
Actually, she was still a little worried about her father's condition, but since he had already said so, she knew he would be unhappy if she didn't leave...
Little Grey!
Shen Liuliu immediately called Xiao Hui over and told him to keep an eye on things and to call for help if his father tried to kill Shen Pengfei.
Little Grey nodded lazily, indicating that he understood.
In such a short time, quite a few people have already arrived in the front yard.
The entire Zhou family, except for the children, came.
Xiao Zhou and Shen Yun'er supported Tian Guifen on either side, constantly comforting her.
"That damned bastard! How could the Shen family raise such a beast?" The usually mild-mannered and gentle Zhou Shi cursed angrily.
This was also the first time Shen Liuliu had heard Xiao Zhou curse.
She ran over quickly and peered through the crack in the door, trying to see what was happening inside.
I wonder if her magical powers can be of any help to my sister-in-law.
"Liu Liu, come here quickly, don't look." When Xiao Zhou saw Shen Liu Liu, she immediately called her over, affectionately touching her face and saying, "Children shouldn't look, it will frighten them."
Especially for young girls, generally speaking, they should never be allowed to see what happens during childbirth.
The concern is that the young girl might become frightened and refuse to have children after marriage.
"How is your sister-in-law? Is she alright?"
Shen Liuliu was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
She was filled with regret.
Why does it have to be today at the city government office?
"Don't worry, it will be alright, it will be alright." Little Zhou could only fool the little maid, but the exclamations that came from the east wing from time to time and Wang Xiuhe's painful screams easily exposed Little Zhou's lies.
Shen Liuliu ran to Chen Yishan, who was squatting painfully against the wall, tears streaming down her face. She pouted and earnestly apologized:
"Big brother, I'm sorry. If I hadn't had to go to the city, my sister-in-law might not have done this..."
It's all her fault.
She thought she could bring a better life to her family, but now her sister-in-law is facing a life-or-death crisis because of her.
Shen Yishan's chapped lips were stained with blood, which he had just bitten himself. Even so, he still mustered his spirits to comfort his sister: "It's not Liu Liu's fault. Liu Liu, go inside and stay there. Don't get cold."
He only blames himself.
My younger sister is still small and thinks of whatever comes to mind, but I'm already such a grown-up!
He actually left his wife alone in the house!
"Bang!"
Shen Yishan turned his head and punched the wall. Cracks appeared around his fist, and blood slowly flowed down the wall...
Shen Liuliu was so frightened that she almost choked, but then felt even more guilty.
"Yishan's wife, Yishan's wife? You'd better put in more effort! Don't fall asleep! Think of the children, if you fall asleep, both of them will suffocate!"
"Yishan's wife, wake up!"
Suddenly, anxious shouts came from the east wing from Madam Fu and Dasheng's wife.
