Chapter 181 The Rise of Yan'er
Shan Zhuyu's body trembled violently, and there was only resentment in her well-maintained eyes.
Chen Jiao struggled so hard that the rope cut into her flesh, and she stared at her intently.
Shen He chuckled.
The laughter sounded particularly harsh in the empty woodshed.
“What a pity.”
"I'm living well."
"The Shen family is doing well too."
She took a step forward, and the light and shadow under her feet swayed slightly.
"And you, who can you blame for ending up like this?"
"You can only blame yourselves for your many injustices."
Chen He's gaze slowly moved from Shan Zhuyu's face to Chen Jiao's face.
"You drugged my father, making him infertile, and killed my mother. You wanted to make the entire Shen family yours."
"You stole my beloved and climbed into the Third Prince's bed with great effort, thinking that you would be able to fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix from then on."
"He secretly colluded with Lu Jiuxiao, a man of unknown origin, with ill intentions."
"Framed Sui Xin at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
"You abused Yan'er and beat and scolded her like an animal, just because she wasn't your biological child."
With every word he said, Shen He's eyes grew colder.
Shan Zhuyu and Shen Jiao's faces turned even paler.
Shen He looked at their horrified eyes, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Tell me about it."
"At which step can I 'frame' you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole woodshed was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Shen He slowly turned around and stretched out a hand towards the shadow at the door.
"Oh, right."
"I forgot to tell you."
"This time, I was able to capture you all in one fell swoop. After the success, I will be the biggest hero..."
A thin and slender hand, trembling slightly, placed its hand on Chen He's.
Shen He pulled hard, pulling a petite figure with timid eyes, Shen Yan, from the darkness to the halo of the lantern.
"...It's Yan'er."
Shen He took Shen Yan's hand and led her to the firewood pile.
There was a gentleness in her voice that she had never heard before.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Chen Jiao, who was lying on the ground, looked like someone had poured a basin of ice water on her head, and her whole body froze.
Her eyes, filled with hatred, were fixed on Shen Yan!
There was no longer hatred or anger in those eyes.
But it's completely unbelievable!
How is that possible?
How could it be her?
This bitch who normally wouldn't even dare to raise her head, and who couldn't even cry out loud after being beaten and scolded by me?!
This Chen Yan who allowed herself to be twisted and squeezed, even worse than a dog? !
“Woo… woo… woo!!!”
A heart-wrenching cry rang out from Chen Jiao's throat. She looked at Chen Yan like a madman, her eyes seemed to be screaming:
Why you! How dare you!
Those mournful "woooo" sounds were more like curses than questions.
Curse this half-sister whom she never took seriously, for daring to betray her!
Shen He's gaze fell gently on Shen Yan beside him.
She gestured gently in the direction of Chen Jiao.
Chen Yan's small hands subconsciously twisted the worn handkerchief at the cuffs, her knuckles turning white.
She took a small step forward timidly, and seemed to be frightened by the fierce look in Chen Jiao's eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive. She suddenly turned around and looked at Chen He, her eyes full of begging and dependence.
Chen He's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.
"Yan'er."
"Don't be afraid."
She said slowly, "You did very well."
"From now on, she can't do anything to you anymore."
That's the sentence.
It was like opening a gate that had been closed for a long time.
Chen Yan's frail body trembled violently, and something in her eyes, which had been drooping for years and were like stagnant water, finally burst out.
Years of grievances, resentment, and fear... at this moment, all turned into torrential tears and burst out!
Her voice was tearful, but it was no longer as timid as before, but rather sharp and desperate!
"Sister...Sister Jiao'er..."
She stared at Chen Jiao intently and said word by word.
"Do you always feel that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine you take every day has a... faint fishy smell?"
Chen Jiao's sobbing stopped abruptly, and her pupils suddenly contracted!
Shen Yan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"That's not the smell of any precious medicinal herbs."
"That's blood."
"It's Master Xue Minglan's blood!"
"boom--!"
These two names, like a thunderclap, exploded in the minds of Shan Zhuyu and Shen Jiao!
Shen Yan looked at their faces distorted with shock, crying, laughing, and continued speaking.
"There is purple marrow powder in Master Xue's blood."
"The amount of poison is not large. If it is mixed with the pregnancy-preserving medicine, no doctor can detect it."
"But……"
"Over time, it will slowly invade the fetus's bone marrow."
"You'll give birth to a...neither-human-nor-ghost...deformed monster!"
“Aaaaaaaaaaa——!”
Chen Jiao went completely crazy!
The string called reason snapped!
Like a female beast cornered, she used all her strength to desperately rush towards Shen Yan, as if she wanted to bite her throat with her teeth!
The rope cut deeply into the flesh, making a creaking sound as it could not bear the heavy load.
Shen Yan was frightened by her appearance and took a step back instinctively.
A warm and strong hand firmly supported her back.
Shen He's voice was right next to her ear, very close and very soft.
"Don't be afraid."
yes.
What am I afraid of?
Shen Yan's body stopped shaking.
She is going to die.
She was the prisoner tied to the ground.
And I am still alive.
This thought, like a bolt of lightning, split the haze that had been in her heart for more than ten years.
Shen Yan turned around abruptly and raised her hand.
“Bang!”
A crisp slap sounded in the silent woodshed!
Chen Jiao was hit so hard that her head tilted to the side, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and she was completely stunned.
Chen Yan looked at her slightly red palms, tears flowed even more fiercely, but her voice suddenly rose, full of blood and tears of accusation!
“From childhood to adulthood!”
"I'm just a girl beside you!"
"No! I'm not even as good as a girl! I'm just a dog beside you!"
"You can beat me if you want, and scold me if you want! You made me kneel in the snow in the winter, and locked me in the woodshed in the sun in the summer!"
"My food, clothing, and daily expenses are not even as good as those of the lowest servants in the mansion!"
She stepped forward step by step, looking down at Chen Jiao who was lying on the ground.
"We are both my father's daughters and both of the Shen family's bloodline!"
“Why?”
"Why do you treat me like this!"
