After saying goodbye to Jiang Weiran, Shen Yunxi took Shen Anyu back to the Shen family. Once inside the mansion, she immediately had Xiaoyu take Shen Anyu back.
As for Shen Qiuyan, I believe that after today's events, she will love herself even more and protect Jiang Ying even better.
Since it was ultimately a matter between the Jiang family and her, Shen Yunxi couldn't interfere too much, as she didn't have the right to do so and was ultimately an outsider.
However, Shen Yunxi wasn't too worried. After all, she knew Shen Qiuyan quite well and knew that she would definitely get better. Neither mother nor daughter would follow the path of their previous life.
Shen Yunxi pulled herself out of her thoughts and stopped dwelling on them. Next, she was to go to Old Madam Shen's courtyard.
As expected, as soon as Shen Yunxi entered the courtyard, Old Madam Shen's maid had been waiting for a long time.
"Zhizhi, you and Cai'er wait for me in the courtyard, I'll go by myself," Shen Yunxi said.
If Zhizhi and Cai'er go, Old Madam Shen might not be able to vent her anger on her, and might even take it out on the two maids. It would be better if they didn't go.
Zhizhi and Cai'er paused, exchanged a glance, and both saw disapproval in each other's eyes. They were worried that Shen Yunxi would be bullied by Old Madam Shen.
“Miss, let us stay with you. In case the old lady…” Cai’er hesitated.
Shen Yunxi didn't care at all. "It's alright. You and Zhizhi can wait for me in the courtyard. No one will dare to mess with me. Besides, I'm no longer the kind of person who lets others bully me. You should know me."
Hearing Shen Yunxi say this, Zhizhi and Cai'er felt relieved, as it seemed to be true.
“Since Miss insists, then this servant and Zhizhi will wait for Miss here,” Cai’er said, believing that Miss would be alright.
Zhizhi glanced at Cai'er with great surprise, knowing that she was usually quite opinionated, so she nodded in agreement.
Shen Yunxi chuckled lightly, "Don't be like this. It's not something that can't be resolved. There's no need to worry about me. Don't worry, I can guarantee that no one can hurt me in the slightest. With the Empress Dowager here, I have nothing to be afraid of."
There's another point that Shen Yunxi didn't directly mention, and that's acting, which is no problem for her either.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yunxi walked towards Old Madam Shen's courtyard.
When Shen Yunxi arrived, the entire front hall was already full of people. At the head of the table sat Old Madam Shen and the old Marquis. This was the first time Shen Yunxi had seen her grandfather since her rebirth.
It wasn't that the old Marquis went somewhere else, but rather that after he was replaced by Chong Zhong as the Marquis of Yong'an, he spent his days outside admiring flowers and playing with birds. At his advanced age, he still tried to keep a mistress, spending most of his time with her.
Unfortunately, this grandfather, like Madam Shen, also disliked their eldest son's family.
Shen Yunxi looked at the two people at the head of the table and smiled leisurely. Today, she was going to put on a good show.
Speaking of this old lady Shen, she was quite formidable. After the old marquis stepped down, she disposed of all the concubines in the mansion.
Moreover, her ruthlessness didn't stop there; none of her concubines even got pregnant, and none of them bore the old Marquis any children. This gives you an idea of how shady her methods were.
If an elderly lady like Madam Shen were to investigate this matter with such concern, she would definitely be able to find something.
Heavy and Lanpei looked at Shen Yunxi with concern, but fortunately Shen Anyu was not there this time, so Shen Yunxi did not have to worry about him being humiliated by the old Marquis and Madam Shen.
"Little Six greets Grandfather, Grandmother, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt. I didn't expect Second Brother and Fifth Brother to come as well." Shen Yunxi nodded slightly, but she did not greet her younger sisters Shen Leyi and Shen Siqi, who were of the same generation.
Indeed, everyone had arrived, making it look like a joint trial. Shen Yunxi found it amusing.
These schemes weren't started by her; her plans won't even be on stage for another two days. Why are these people so impatient?
Shen Yunxi naturally had her own purpose, but before she could achieve it, she was determined to make those who had been sucking her blood and hurting her in her previous life pay the price.
If all these people are doing well, then wouldn't all the suffering she, her parents, and her brother endured have been in vain?
At this moment, Shen Leyi stared at Shen Yunxi with eyes blazing with fury. From the moment she entered, she wanted to tear Shen Yunxi to pieces with her own hands.
As for Shen Siqi, she also looked at her angrily, but her reaction was not as strong as Shen Leyi's.
In the end, the real person who got into trouble wasn't Shen Siqi but Shen Leyi, so of course she wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Ultimately, she's a selfish person.
As for the two brothers from the second wife, they seemed very kind, their expressions were not revealing, which was more discreet than that of the two sisters from the third wife.
Shen Li looked at Shen Yunxi with a gentle expression, "Sixth Sister, don't worry. Today, Grandfather and Grandmother are just here to ask about the situation. We can't just decide on any punishment based on Fourth Sister's one-sided account. Second Brother believes that Sixth Sister is not that kind of person, and there must be some misunderstanding."
Shen Li appeared to be thinking of Shen Yunxi, but only he knew what he truly thought.
Shen Yunxi also understood Shen Li. He could always give a lot of reasons in a high-sounding way, but in fact he had a plan in mind. He was just luring his opponents into a trap step by step.
Seeing the expression on Shen Li's face, Shen Yunxi nodded slightly, her face full of gratitude, "Thank you for believing me, Second Brother. There is indeed another hidden reason for this matter."
"Outrageous! Shen Yunxi, you have harmed your fourth sister again. Today you still say there are hidden reasons. Then tell me what those hidden reasons are!" Old Madam Shen sneered.
Lan Pei couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer, and immediately retorted, "Madam, you're mistaken. The truth hasn't come out yet, so we can't put all the blame on Yunxi. Shouldn't we be trying to find out what really happened? Since we came in, it's been only Fourth Sister talking, only saying that Yunxi caused her to fall into the water, and that's it?"
At this moment, Lanpei was extremely angry. Every time, Madam Shen would criticize her daughter without distinguishing right from wrong. Did she think her daughter was really easy to bully?
Just because it wasn't her child, she targets him at all times; it's truly despicable!
Thinking of this, Lanpei glared fiercely at Chongyan.
If it weren't for the heavy burden of taking care of so many things, they wouldn't have been bullied by the old lady in every way. Even the second and third branches of the family could climb over her head. She is the Lady of Yong'an Marquis!
As soon as Shen Yunxi saw Lan Pei's eyes, she knew what Lan Pei was thinking. She was probably feeling heavy-hearted and weak.
However, there are reasons for his heavy heart; it's not that he truly understands nothing.
Sigh, it seems she's the only one left to make a move.
