But now, they were rushed here by bodyguards without even having the chance to worship at the ancestral hall. It was obvious that the Shen family had offended the Qi family, which was why their qualifications to participate in the selection of the head of the family and the ancestor worship were revoked.
Shen Minglin is still in pain at this moment. The Shen family's twins, Shen Mingrui, Shen Mingxi and Shen Mingzhu, are taking care of him. The other members of the Shen family want an explanation from the Qi family.
Qi Jun came here directly after leaving the ancestral hall. He was now sitting on the sofa in the middle, sipping tea, looking as if he had nothing to do with it.
Naturally, no one else dared to make a decision without consulting Qi Jun, not even Qi Shuo, who had become the acting head of the family.
As Qi Jing stepped into the living room, the Shen family immediately turned their attention to him. Mrs. Shen asked, "What is your relationship with that girl? How could you treat your family like this for an outsider?!"
Shen Anwen also said, “You are also Minglin’s elder. Do you act like an elder by doing this?”
"Old Five is already in so much pain, what else do you want?!" Shen Mingxuan stared at Qi Jing. He didn't regard Qi Jing as an elder at all. He just felt that Qi Jing must have used some shameful means, otherwise how could even the doctor not find out the problem and the painkillers were useless.
Qi Jing applauded and spoke amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, "We are indeed a family, united as one."
"Stop talking nonsense and let Xiaowu recover quickly!" Mrs. Shen scolded anxiously. She felt so distressed when she saw Shen Minglin suffering.
Qi Jing certainly wouldn't let Shen Minglin go so easily. He smiled and said, "I can remove the curse for him, but your family of six must answer a question for me first."
The Shen family was very angry, but they still agreed under the double pressure of Qi Jun and Qi Mo.
The first person Qi Jing asked was Madam Shen, "Madam Shen is so worried about Shen Minglin. What would you do if someone treated your daughter like this that day?"
Madam Shen said coldly, “Mingzhu is the precious princess of our Shen family, who dares to treat her like this!”
Qi Jing sneered and turned to ask Shen Anwen, "If Shen Minglin hit your daughter, what would you do to Shen Minglin?!"
Shen Anwen rolled his eyes at Qi Jing and said, "They have a very good relationship with each other, but the fifth brother will never do that!"
Qi Jing did not refute, but cast his eyes on the sons of the Shen family, "Which is more important, blood relationship or more than ten years of companionship?"
When Qi Jing asked this question, Shen Mingzhu was immediately panicked. She could understand the first two questions as Qi Jing, as a member of the Qi family, warning the Shen family, in response to Shen Minglin's incident of sending Wu Han to the hospital.
But it was obvious that Qi Jing's question meant that he knew something. She suddenly felt insecure and supported Shen Minglin to secretly go see Qi Jing.
As the eldest brother, Shen Mingxuan spoke for them, "Of course, kinship is more important. Blood is thicker than water, and this is a relationship that cannot be severed!"
"very good!"
Qi Jing finally got a satisfactory answer. He clapped his hands and cast his last gaze on Shen Mingzhu. "Don't you have anything to say?"
"I..." Shen Mingzhu avoided panicking, "What did I say?"
"What are you talking about? Isn't it because of you that Shen Minglin has been bullying Wu Han? If it's for you, he should at least explain what Wu Han did to you that forced Shen Minglin to use such harsh tactics on a strange girl, beating her so hard that she was seriously injured. If the Qi family hadn't arrived in time, what would have become of Wu Han? Have you, the Shen family, thought about the consequences?"
Qi Jing's words surprised the Shen family. They really didn't know why Shen Minglin attacked Wu Han, and the Shen family didn't care about it at all. They thought that if she was just an ordinary family's daughter, they would just beat her.
Shen Mingzhu cried and shook her head, "I don't know, I really didn't know it would be like this."
As soon as Shen Mingzhu started crying, the brothers of the Shen family immediately became unhappy. Shen Mingxuan took the lead in standing in front of Shen Mingzhu, and the twins of the Shen family also protected Shen Mingzhu in their arms, one on each side, and all cast unfriendly glances at Qi Jing.
Shen Mingxuan said sternly, "It was Lao Wu who did it, why are you bringing Mingzhu into this?"
"I'm just asking a few questions. She's the one who should be crying." Qi Jing spread his hands. "Besides, it's Shen Minglin who's in pain, not her. Shen Minglin didn't cry, so why should she cry? If she doesn't answer, I won't force her. Anyway, as long as she doesn't say anything, Shen Minglin will continue to feel pain. I don't care."
Qi Jing's words were very straightforward, and they immediately put the Shen family at a loss.
Although the whole family loves Shen Mingzhu very much, they are helpless now that Shen Minglin is in so much pain.
Moreover, Qi Jing meant that Shen Minglin bullied Wu Han because of Shen Mingzhu. If that was the case, Qi Jing simply wanted to find out the reason behind the matter.
The Shen family absolutely believes in Shen Mingzhu. If they just want to find out the truth, they naturally won't object. The most important thing now is to let Qi Jing take action to break the curse.
After figuring this out, the Shen family members began to persuade Shen Mingzhu, asking her to explain clearly how Wu Han bullied her, and that the Shen family members would support her.
But Shen Mingzhu couldn't explain it clearly. She just cried in grievance and said she knew nothing, which made the Shen family feel distressed and anxious.
Qi Jing watched with great interest. As time passed, the Shen family gathered around Shen Mingzhu to comfort and ask questions, but no one cared about Shen Minglin, who was really suffering.
It's quite funny, isn't it? Qi Jing looked at Shen Minglin, who was sitting on the sofa in pain and sweating profusely, with a mocking smile on his face, "You are such a good sister."
Phew!
Qi Yao really couldn't help laughing. Qi Jing's sarcasm really hurt his heart.
Shen Minglin's face turned pale as he stared at Shen Mingzhu. Perhaps he had lost his mind due to the pain. He suddenly stood up, pushed away the people around Shen Mingzhu, and grabbed Shen Mingzhu's shoulders, demanding, "I only touched Wu Han for you. Now I just want you to explain yourself. Why are you crying here?!"
Shen Mingzhu was so frightened that her body trembled and she cried even more sadly, which made the Shen family feel very distressed and they all started to blame Shen Minglin.
Facing his family's self-blame and Shen Mingzhu's sobbing, Shen Minglin completely exploded. He forcefully pushed away Shen Mingjie who was blocking him, "I'm in so much pain right now. Why is she so wronged? You all have to comfort her! Then who am I?! I'm not a member of the Shen family!?"
This was a serious statement, and it was a heavy blow to the Shen family's head.
Shen Anwen was the first to react. He looked at his fifth son who was furious and aggrieved, and saw how weak he was from the pain. Why did his sons have to comfort Shen Mingzhu who was fine?
This is very wrong, Shen Anwen shouted, "Mingzhu! Tell me what's going on?!"
Shen Mingzhu trembled when she was yelled at. Facing Shen Anwen’s anger, she knew she couldn’t continue pretending, so she could only cry and throw the blame, “Wu Han didn’t bully me, it was Fifth Brother who misunderstood and went to cause trouble for Wu Han himself.
