Chapter 326 Nothing goes well!
Before Li Xiangru could express her doubts to Shen Ying'er, an elder of the Li family quickly stuffed the letter of severance of engagement that he had prepared long ago into Li Heng's hands.
Li Heng held the thin piece of paper, glanced at the account book lying on the ground, and looked hesitantly and helplessly at his father and mother who had just barely stood up.
Seeing the two elders nodding firmly at him, he walked towards Li Xiangru, squatted down, and slammed the document of severing ties on the ground in front of Li Xiangru with almost gritted teeth.
"You just said it yourself, that you want to cut ties with our Li family and have nothing to do with them anymore... So many people are listening, you're not going to back down in the blink of an eye, are you?"
Looking at the three glaring words "Severance of Relationship" on the paper, Li Xiangru burst into tears.
Looking at her heartless relatives in front of her, she hardened her heart, bit her index finger with trembling hands, and pressed the bright red fingerprint on the document.
As if afraid that Li Xiangru would change her mind at the next moment, Li Heng hurriedly snatched the document of severing the engagement and handed it to the head of the Li family.
Upon seeing this, the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief, unable to conceal their pride on their faces - this way, the Shen family's densely packed account books could no longer be blamed on them!
No one from the Li family dared to even look at the Shen family, let alone say goodbye... They were about to leave when they were stopped by a group of officials who came rushing over.
"Stop! We've received a report from the Shen family, saying that a large amount of property was stolen from the Shen Mansion. We need you to immediately follow us back to the government office to cooperate with the investigation!"
"W-what?!"
Everyone in the Li family was suddenly in chaos, with faces full of fear.
"There must be a misunderstanding here!!"
The Li family elder panicked and held up the still-dry document of severance, arguing, "Your Excellency, please understand! Madam Shen has severed all ties with our Li family. What she did has nothing to do with us!"
The leading officer said sternly, "Whether it's related or not, the government will make the final decision!"
"Besides, we have already found many rare calligraphy and paintings, ancient porcelain bottles and vessels in your Li family. All of them are on the list reported stolen by the Shen family!"
He waved his hand and ordered sternly: "Take them all away!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li's eyes widened, his breath got stuck in his chest, and he fell straight back on the spot, losing his voice in an instant.
“Master!?” Upon seeing this, Li’s mother roared, her whole body convulsing violently, and she fell heavily to the ground.
It seems that he is breathing out more than breathing in...his life is in danger!
"You guys? You eat and drink at my house... why don't you help my mother?"
Li Heng's eyes were wide open and he yelled at the Li family. He then knelt down between his parents, crying out "Dad! Mom!" in a bewildered and futile manner. He was completely at a loss and subconsciously looked at Li Xiangru.
Li Xiangru's heart skipped a beat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She closed her eyes tightly. After a moment, when she opened them again, she quickly knelt in front of Shen Ying'er and begged in a pitiful voice:
"Dr. Shen... Doctor Shen! I've heard you're a skilled doctor. If it weren't for you, Xinrou would have been murdered by the He family... Please have mercy and save my mother's life!"
Shen Ying'er's back teeth creaked as hatred surged in her heart.
She clenched her fists, turned around and went back into the room, slamming the door shut.
Li still has someone to turn to...but back then, when she wanted to die day and night, all she could pray to were the gods and Buddhas!
All she could rely on was herself, gritting her teeth and holding on! !
Seeing Shen Ying'er turn around and walk into the room without saying a word, Li Heng widened his eyes in disbelief.
He immediately yelled at the tightly closed door, "You're just standing there waiting for someone to die! What kind of doctor are you?!"
"You cold-blooded, vicious woman! She is your elder after all! You..."
Before Li Heng could utter any more unpleasant words, he was instantly disarmed by the officer.
The Li family members were quickly dragged away from the Shen Mansion by the yamen runners.
Everything finally quieted down.
Seeing that the officers hadn't touched her, Li Xiangru felt a sense of relief, a sense of hope building up: The old man was soft-hearted...after all, he still cared about their old friendship! It seemed like she had finally dodged this disaster!
Just as she had this thought, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion coming over with a tray. On it were pens, ink, and ink pad, and it seemed... there were also some papers with words written on them?
Old Master Shen picked up the divorce letter, took a look at it, picked up the pen and signed it with an expressionless face. After pressing his fingerprint, he slammed it hard on Li Xiangru's face.
"You've been a traitor, lining your own pockets. I can still forgive you out of consideration for our long-standing friendship. But you absolutely shouldn't have reached out to my daughter and granddaughter!"
He was so disgusted that he didn't want to look at her again. He just said coldly to the housekeeper: "Pack her things for her. Don't let her take a single needle or thread from the Shen family!"
Li Xiangru had just seen clearly that what the other party threw over was actually a letter of divorce, when she saw that Mr. Shen had already returned to the room.
“Husband…Husband!!??”
"Stop shouting!" Uncle Shen impatiently took out a will and threw it at Li Xiangru's feet.
Li Xiangru picked it up and saw that it was written that after a hundred years, Old Master Shen would give her a rich inheritance... Among them, there were four shops located in the downtown area!
It seems that the old man still cares about her!
Just as a flicker of ecstasy flashed through her heart, she saw Master Shen snatch the will away with an expressionless face and tear it to pieces? ! !
"The Shen family no longer has an old lady! Drag her out quickly!!"
Looking at the pile of waste paper, Li Xiangru was struck by lightning and burst into heart-wrenching sobs:
"Husband! You can't do this to me! I'm partial to my mother's family, and it's all because of you!"
"Ever since I married into the Shen family, your eldest daughter-in-law has always been in charge of the Shen Mansion... You said you liked daughters, but even after I gave birth to Xinrou for you, you never let me take charge of the household!"
"Everyone calls me 'Old Madam,' but I don't even have the power to manage the household. I have to depend on your sons all day long... That's why I always thought my mother's family was my only support."
"You are responsible for my current situation! You can't just ignore me!"
“…”
"The divorce letter has been written, you'd better leave quickly!" The servants advised while dragging Li Xiangru out in a bad mood.
Just when Li Xiangru was completely desperate, the door behind her creaked open again.
Shen Ying'er carefully supported Shen Xinrou, who had just woken up, and moved to the door bit by bit with difficulty.
Shen Xinrou looked at the mother who gave her life but brought her endless pain with tears in her eyes, as if she was sending her off for the last time.
"Xinrou?" Li Xiangru seemed to have found a life-saving straw and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Xinrou! Xinrou, I am your biological mother! You can't just watch me wandering on the streets, Xinrou..."
Tears fell uncontrollably, Shen Xinrou weakly clenched Shen Ying'er's hand, her eyes filled with hatred and determination...
"You hated me for not being born a boy, treated me harshly since childhood, and then treated my daughter like that... I, Shen Xinrou, don't have a mother like you! From now on, the relationship between you and me as mother and daughter is severed!"
Every word of Shen Xinrou's was heart-wrenching.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangru frantically and desperately cursed Shen Xinrou as an ungrateful person, and cursed her and Shen Ying'er to die miserably!
The unbearable curses made the old man of the Shen family suddenly furious. He suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on his back!
Seeing her grandfather breathing weakly and hanging by a thread, Shen Ying'er was terrified.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she hesitated whether she should bring Tang Bao to see the old man for the last time?
But Tangbao's body has not yet recovered, how can he withstand such continuous stimulation?
