Chapter 324: Li was backstabbed by her relatives
The next morning, at the Shen Mansion.
Shen Ying'er sat beside the couch, looking at Shen Xinrou who was still unconscious, and felt extremely regretful...
She shouldn't have hesitated. If she had immediately agreed to the paternity test with her mother, how could her mother have been seriously injured to protect her!
Tears rolled down, soon covering Shen Ying'er's face and then wetting her clothes.
Old Master Shen, who was a few steps away, shifted his gaze from his daughter's pale face on the couch, and took a deep look at his granddaughter who was sitting beside the bed with tears streaming down her face. His face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He slammed his cane to the ground, turned around and sat down at the table, and spoke in a voice as cold as iron: "Go! Bring Li to me!"
"Yes!" The servant responded and left with hurried steps. The air in the hall instantly solidified, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
......
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you push me? I'm still the old lady of the Shen family!"
"You blind slave who relies on the power of others! Watch out for your hide, or I'll make you pay for it!"
“…”
Before seeing the person, his voice has arrived.
Li Xiangru's sharp curses, which came from far away and gradually became closer, made everyone in the room frown and the air pressure around them became lower and lower.
This especially made Old Master Shen's expression even darker and colder!
Obviously, seeing that her own daughter not only became an abandoned woman and lost all face, but also caused a sensation in the city... Li Xiangru was too lazy to even pretend, and there was no trace of her usual gentle and considerate appearance!
Old Master Shen stood up suddenly, and the eldest master of the Shen family hurried forward to support him.
The door creaked open, and Li Xiangru saw Shen Xinrou lying pale on the couch. Her heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into an icy cave!
"Shin... Shinrou!?"
"H-What happened to her?"
"What happened to my daughter?!"
Li Xiangru screamed, her heart filled with anxiety, and she was suddenly in a state of panic.
She raised her eyebrows, pushed away the servants who were trying to stop her, and rushed into the house with her skirt lifted up...
But she didn't expect that Old Master Shen, who was coming towards her, would slap her in the face without saying a word!
With a crisp "bang" sound, Li Xiangru screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
She covered her instantly swollen cheeks, and when she looked at the old man of the Shen family, her eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"You...you hit me?"
"You actually hit me??!"
In the face of Li Xiangru's questioning, Old Master Shen not only ignored her, but also let her sit slumped on the snow-covered ground.
Meeting the other person's gloomy eyes, Li Xiangru gradually felt scared. She lowered her head and silently knelt down on the frozen ground.
"Husband..."
"I'm asking you, what's going on with He Rui?"
"What on earth did you do behind our backs when Xinrou was giving birth?!"
"I... I didn't do anything... I didn't do anything..." Li Xiangru's eyes evaded, "Xinrou is my only daughter... I'm just, just feeling sorry for my grandson..."
Seeing that she was hesitating and still being stubborn, Old Master Shen raised his hand and gestured to the servants not far away.
The guard immediately threw the two old maids, who were covered in blood and had been severely tortured, in front of Li Xiangru.
Accompanied by two dull sounds, the snow in front of the door gradually turned red.
Li Xiangru's head buzzed, and her heart beat like a drum...
Seeing that she remained silent, Old Master Shen was furious.
He snorted coldly, took the thick account book from the servant's hand, and smashed it hard on Li Xiangru's face!
"Open your eyes and see clearly! This is the detailed list of all the wealth you have secretly stolen in the decades since you married into the Shen family! Do you want me to send someone to report it to the authorities?"
Report to the police?!
Li Xiangru's whole body trembled violently. How could that be possible?!
She hurriedly opened the account book, flipping through it with her eyes wide open, and her gaze finally stopped on the shocking number on the last page... Her face turned pale to an extremely pale color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Husband...Husband, please calm down!" She banged her head against the ground with a loud thud. "My mother's family is just an ordinary family! These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver... They can't pay it back even if they sell everything they have! And..."
"Shut up!" Following a loud shout, the Li family, led by the head of the Li family, came out from the next house in a mighty manner.
Li Xiangru seemed to have seen a savior. The moment she raised the corners of her lips, her eyes lit up.
She suddenly got up from the ground and stumbled towards her mother.
As if they had suffered a great injustice, they hugged each other tightly like children, "Mother..."
Her voice was filled with tears, and she said coquettishly: "I want a divorce! I want to go home! I can't stay in the Shen family for even one more day!"
Mother Li's body was stiff, and Father Li had a look of as if he had eaten shit on his face.
He frowned, snatched the fatal account book from her hand, and glanced at it quickly...
After seeing the huge amount, his face turned pale and he suddenly grabbed Li Xiangru's collar and threw her to the ground without mercy!
"You evil creature! You're living a good life, not only stealing a huge amount of money from your husband's family, but also trying to bring disgrace upon my Li family?"
Father Li's voice trembled with anger and shock as he demanded, "Tell me! Where did you squander all that money?!"
Li Xiangru looked up suddenly as if struck by lightning, looking in disbelief at her loved ones whom she had supported with the Shen family's money for many years.
With a trembling voice and tears in her eyes, she argued, "Father, how could you say such a thing?! I was the one who secretly gave you all that money time and time again!"
"If not, where would my brother get the money to marry a wife and take concubines? How would you have enough food and clothing..."
"That's pure nonsense!" Li's father was furious and stepped hard on Li Xiangru's finger. "Although my Li family has no achievements, our family has been composed of honest scholars for generations. Why would we need you to steal money from your husband's family to support our family?"
He crushed his feet hard and stared at Li Xiangru with a pair of red eyes threateningly.
Li Xiangru was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, but she saw that her mother, who used to love her the most, didn't even have a trace of heartache in her eyes! ?
Everyone in the Li family looked embarrassed and their eyes were wandering. They didn't dare to look at the Shen family. They all directed their attacks at Li Xiangru who was lying limp on the ground.
"Even if our Li family goes bankrupt, we can't pay it back. The Shen family lost money, what does it have to do with our Li family? You did something wrong, why should we bear the consequences?"
"That's right! You've behaved improperly and have dirty hands, yet you think you can put the blame on us? We haven't even seen this money in all these years!"
"Right! Where's the evidence?" The only son of the Li family sneered and glared at Li Xiangru fiercely, "You're just talking nonsense..."
"Do you have any receipt? Did anyone see you taking money from the Li family?"
