She was furious. How could someone who harmed others be justified? She couldn't help but put on a sarcastic tone and say, "The eldest young lady is pitiful, but what about the second young lady and the other young ladies of the Marquis's mansion? When the third young master pushed them out to bear the blame, why didn't the eldest young lady say a word?"
When Shen Mingyi accused her young lady, Shen Jinshu didn't say a word, leaving others to suspect.
Now she's putting herself in the victim's shoes; she's really broadened her horizons.
Upon hearing this, the people who had initially thought Shen Mingyi's words made some sense and sympathized with Shen Jinshu immediately came to their senses, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
They had obviously thought about Shen Mingyi's actions. If the Second Miss hadn't appeared in time to prove her innocence, and if the Third Miss hadn't been invited by the Eldest Princess, the two of them would have really been burdened with unfounded accusations.
People outside are saying that the Third Young Master Shen dotes on his sister, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
However, he only showed this affection to Shen Jinshu. His other sisters became stepping stones for the two of them to demonstrate their deep sibling bond.
Lu Bai was still not satisfied. Hiding in the crowd, she continued to say in a high-pitched voice, "The eldest young lady initially claimed to be the second young lady, Song Zhiyu. I suppose she had the intention to slander her back then."
They just hadn't expected the second young lady to suddenly appear, so they had no choice but to change their target, only to be repeatedly proven wrong.
Her words were full of schadenfreude, and she didn't hold back in exposing Shen Jinshu's shortcomings.
This reminder made the people realize that when they first met Shen Jinshu, she had indeed identified herself as the second young lady of the Chengen Marquis's mansion.
Thinking about it carefully, Shen Jinshu was truly malicious. Not wanting to damage her reputation, she set her sights on Song Zhiyu.
Unfortunately, harming others ultimately harms oneself; after this ordeal, everyone saw her true colors.
The once renowned Miss Shen turned out to be a selfish, ruthless viper.
And that Shen Mingyi is no better. Not only did he cooperate with Shen Jinshu's lies to completely deceive them, but he also turned around and accused them of not understanding the victims. He is truly shameless.
A shop run by someone like that can't be a good one, no wonder it's been declining.
Thinking of Shen's Clothing Shop, which was on the verge of closing down due to a disastrous business failure, the people spat inwardly.
Even if the clothes there are the best or the cheapest, they won't buy them.
Not only that, they also want to tell their relatives and friends about this, so that they can join in the boycott.
Shen Mingyi never imagined that because of today's events, the Shen Family Clothing Store, which he had spent a lot of money to save, would be completely plunged into a desperate situation and would never recover.
Watching this farce unfold, Song Zhiyu found it all incredibly entertaining. The very methods Shen Jinshu had originally intended to use on her had now backfired, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.
She was very curious: after such a huge scandal, would Prince Li still insist on marrying Shen Jinshu as his principal wife?
However, even if he were willing, His Majesty and the court officials who support him might not agree.
But she needs to keep these two people firmly tied to her, preferably never to be separated, so she doesn't have to deal with them one by one.
“I know that in everyone’s heart in the Marquis’s mansion, I am not as obedient as my eldest sister, nor as useful as her. So sacrificing me is worse than sacrificing my eldest sister who is about to become the Princess Consort of Li.”
But a woman's reputation is as important as her life, so please forgive me for not being able to take the blame for my elder sister this time.
Song Zhiyu used Shen Jinshu's usual gentle tactics, directly revealing her situation in the Marquis's mansion, and once again emphasizing Shen Mingyi's shameless behavior.
In the future, she will have even more reason to leave the Marquis's mansion.
At this moment, many people looked at Song Zhiyu with sympathy and heartache. She was clearly the true daughter of the Marquis's family, but she had already endured more than ten years of hardship, and after returning to the mansion, she suffered all kinds of grievances.
With such biased parents and brothers, the second young lady really has it tough.
Seemingly unable to bear such disdainful looks any longer, Shen Mingyi fled with Shen Jinshu.
If they stayed any longer, he was afraid that the people would throw rotten vegetable leaves at them.

The private room of Zuixianlou.
"Bang!"
The man in black, who had taken in the entire scene downstairs, slammed his hand on the table. His hawk-like eyes flashed with fury, and his deep voice nearly shattered the eardrums of those around him.
"Outrageous! I never imagined this woman would have such a beastly brother. The Marquis of Chengen's mansion, is it? I'll definitely impeach them in court tomorrow."
The man in black exuded righteousness, but when he spoke of the Marquis of Chengen's residence, there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.
In the few days since returning to the capital, he has heard quite a bit about the Marquis of Chengen's residence.
Aside from the casual conversations over tea and meals, there were also rumors about how the young masters of the Marquis's mansion doted on their younger sister.
He thought that a family that doted on its daughter so much must have a good family tradition, so he agreed to meet the fourth young lady of the Marquis's mansion.
If the two get along well, it's not impossible for the two families to arrange a marriage.
It now seems that he is not good enough for the Marquis of Chengen's household.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyang paused. He had been absent for three years, and even though he had learned about Song Zhiyu's life after returning to the Marquis's mansion from his elder brother and the secret guards, it was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.
His beloved younger sister was seen as a pushover by the Shen family, who even made her bear the shameful things Shen Jinshu had done. It was outrageous.
Su Jinyang gripped the wine glass tightly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and the porcelain white glass seemed to shatter faintly in his palm.
Su Jinyang casually tossed the broken pieces onto the table, took the handkerchief handed to him by his subordinate, and slowly wiped his well-defined hands.
The man in black glanced at him. "You also think the Marquis of Chengen's mansion is going too far, right? They're all sisters, how can they treat each other so differently?"
If that girl were my sister, I would never let her suffer such injustice.
He had heard many stories about Song Zhiyu's healing and saving lives, but it was a pity that such a capable woman was not his sister.
But even if he can't be her sister, he can still be her wife. He admires a capable woman like Song Zhiyu.
Seemingly finding the idea appealing, the man glanced down at his attire, then subtly compared it to Su Jinyang's beside him, before letting out a long click of his tongue.
They were fighting in the same military camp, but he looked so respectable, with a face that would please women.
But then he thought, maybe Miss Song likes a bold and masculine military general like him.
Thinking of this, the man straightened his cuffs and said to Su Jinyang in a serious tone, "What do you think about me marrying Miss Song as my wife?"
