Shen Qin'er was so frightened by Shen Ajiao's imposing manner that she retreated repeatedly. Shen Ajiao tapped her belly and said, "You're going to be a mother, how can you still talk so fiercely?"
"Don't touch him!"
Shen Qin'er clutched her stomach, looking wary. "If you dare hurt him, you'll regret it!"
Shen Ajiao couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You want to make me look bad? Are you crazy?"
"With your IQ, I think your baby will be just as stupid as you!"
Shen Qin'er was so angry she couldn't speak, glaring fiercely at Shen Ajiao.
Shen Ajiao, "Your beloved father hurts you, why don't you teach him a lesson? Your beloved husband hurts you, why don't you teach him a lesson?"
"Your respected mother-in-law is nagging you, why don't you teach her a lesson?"
"You really are stupid. You're just a coward who only knows how to bully the weak."
"The person who hurt you is still hurting you. You're so pathetic."
Shen Ajiao paid no attention to Shen Qin'er's expression and swaggered off with the people behind her to find Madam Shen.
Some time ago, the Shen family was caught in a vortex of rumors. Master Shen said that if Shen Ajiao came back, she would have to put on a good show.
So Shen Qin'er saw that the servants of the Shen family were treating Shen Ajiao with great hospitality, a treatment that even she herself did not receive.
In the past, she would have thrown a tantrum and punished the servants to vent her anger.
This time, however, she didn't get angry. Instead, she quietly observed everything before her and suddenly realized that she was truly foolish.
She bullied Shen Ajiao since she was a child, and now she's teaching her a lesson in return.
Could she be plotting something?
Her mother had said that Shen Ajiao was a cunning woman who would seek revenge, and warned her to be careful.
But Shen Qin'er couldn't figure out what Shen Ajiao had done to her even after thinking for a long time. However, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and a chill ran through her body.
Shen Ajiao was warmly invited to Madam Shen's courtyard, but Madam Shen was nowhere to be seen. "Grandma, Madam knows you are filial. Now that Madam is ill, the master said that someone close to you who is filial should kneel in the northwest corner of the courtyard for two hours, and Madam will be able to get rid of the disaster and illness."
Shen Ajiao muttered, "Close and filial? Isn't that what Shen Qin'er and Shen Qi are like?"
"Mother, just wait. If two hours isn't enough, we can add more."
He then personally closed the door for Madam Shen and led his men through a winding path to find Shen Qi. Shen Qin'er was about to give birth, so kneeling was inappropriate.
Let's go with Chen Qi then.
Since she brought a large group of people, the servants of the Shen family dared not stop her. They watched as Shen Ajiao dragged Shen Qi, who was recuperating in bed, out of the room, tied her hands and feet, gagged her, and threw her into the northwest corner of Madam Shen's courtyard. "Mother said that she is sick and needs close and filial people to kneel for her for two hours, and she will recover."
"As you know, my mother often says I'm an ungrateful wretch and unfilial. I've thought about it, and you're the most suitable one, so you're here."
Shen Ajiao completely ignored Shen Qi's murderous glare and patted Shen Qi's face. "Little brother, I'm only thinking of you and wanting to be good to you. Don't worry, after you kneel down, I'll have someone spread the word about your filial piety. Everyone will know how good you are!"
"You don't need to thank me too much! It's what I should do."
"Waaaaahh ...
Shen Ajiao sighed, "You are still the most filial. We girls are weaker, thank you for your understanding, little brother."
Someone tried to go in to inform Madam Shen, but was stopped by the people brought by Shen Ajiao. "What are you doing? Madam is ill, and the young master's filial piety has moved heaven and earth. How dare you disturb her? Don't you want Madam to recover? How dare you!"
The maidservant from the Shen family was too frightened to move. The man brought by the Lin family was very strong and had a fierce look on his face. His palms were big and thick. If she were to be slapped like that, she would be half dead.
The courtyard fell silent for a moment. Shen Ajiao was very satisfied and called out loudly, "Mother, must we kneel for two hours?"
After a long silence inside the room, someone finally said, "Miss, Madam says it is true, it must be two hours, not even a moment less."
Shen Ajiao clapped her hands and said loudly, "Mother, don't worry, I will kneel for the full time, not a second less!"
Shen Qi was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, whimpering. One of the people brought by Shen Ajiao slapped her on the back, the slap stinging in her hand. For a moment, she dared not whimper and knelt obediently.
Shen Qin'er pondered this for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so she decided to ask Madam Shen when she saw her.
As soon as they entered Madam Shen's courtyard, they saw her younger brother tied up and kneeling in the northwest corner, while Shen Ajiao leisurely drank tea and ate snacks.
What are you doing!
When Shen Ajiao saw Shen Qin'er arrive, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about your mother, she'll be fine in a bit. You're pregnant, so sit down and rest for a while."
"Shen Ajiao! What exactly are you trying to do?"
Shen Ajiao poured a cup of tea and gestured for Shen Qin'er to sit down and drink it. She kindly explained, "Mother said that she should kneel for two hours with someone who is close to her and filial. You know who I am. I can't ask you to kneel, can I? That wouldn't be appropriate."
"So it was only him. After he finished kneeling, his mother was fine. He had done a great deed. What do you think?"
Shen Qin'er clutched her chest. She knew something was wrong, that it shouldn't be like this, but she couldn't refute Shen Ajiao's words.
She glanced at the tightly closed door and saw for the first time how her mother's cleverness had backfired.
What about before? Was she like this too?
Shen Qin'er thought about how she was in the Zhao family, and even though it wasn't her fault, everyone blamed her in the end. She felt like she couldn't argue with anyone.
Now she wants to see how her mother will handle things after she finds out. Yes, her mother is very capable and never worries about these things. She will tell her what to do. She will.
Seeing the burly woman at the door, Shen Qin'er didn't dare to force her way in, so she shouted loudly, "Mother, it's me! Come out quickly, something terrible has happened!"
“Shen Ajiao has dragged your younger brother to kneel in the courtyard. Come out now!”
Madam Shen was already feeling unwell, lacking energy and often experiencing palpitations and shortness of breath, but no illness could be found, leaving her feeling listless all day. Hearing the commotion outside, she assumed it was Shen Ajiao's refusal to kneel and ignored it, intending to sleep a little longer and treat her after she woke up.
Just as I drifted off to sleep, I heard Qin'er's voice saying that Shen Ajiao had captured Shen Qi and ordered her Qi'er to kneel outside.
It was freezing cold outside, and Qi'er was so weak, how could she manage? They quickly asked someone to help her up and hurriedly went outside.
Shen Qi, dressed in a cotton coat, was tied up and kneeling on the ground, looking utterly pitiful. "My son!"
"Are you all dead? How dare you make your master kneel down!"
"My Qi'er, Mother is here!"
"Who! Who did this!"
The thing that had been dropped into Shen Qi's mouth was pointed viciously at Shen Ajiao. "Mother, it was that bitch! She did it!"
