A rush of blood to her head, and Shen Xiwei's fingertips trembled with anger. She rushed forward in two or three steps and raised her hand high to slap him!
Halfway through the swing, her wrist was suddenly severed. Shen Tangning gripped her wrist tightly, her expression turning cold. In the instant the girl froze, she slapped her across the face.
"Smack!"
A crisp, resounding slap, delivered without any hesitation!
She released her momentum, and Shen Xiwei fell heavily to the ground, strands of hair falling beside her face. She covered her face, almost disheveled, and raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How dare you hit me?"
Shen Tangning slowly straightened her disheveled sleeves, looking down at her with a mocking smile on her red lips:
"So what if I hit him?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze coldly sweeping over them, her tone nonchalant, "You keep mentioning Shen Tangning, showing no respect for me as your elder sister. I'll teach this ignorant little sister a lesson to lest she tarnish the reputation of the Shen family. Even if Father comes, he'll have to praise me for doing a good job!"
Shen Xiwei clenched her fists, her eyes revealing a shocking hatred.
"Someone come here! Someone come here quickly!" Aunt Fang was both shocked and angry, but even more so, she was terrified. Seeing her daughter being taken advantage of, she wanted to help, but she was too weak to even get out of bed.
Ignoring Shen Xiwei on the ground, Shen Tangning slowly walked up to Aunt Fang and asked, "Aunt, what are you planning to do? Perhaps I can help you?"
Aunt Fang looked at her with suspicion and uncertainty, leaning back slightly to hide her fear, her tone tinged with resentment: "Miss, no matter how bad I am, I am still your elder! Even if you can't stand me, you should at least pretend to be, right?"
“Of course.” Shen Tangning’s expression showed surprise. “I came here today specifically to visit my aunt. Otherwise, what would my aunt think I came here for?”
Aunt Fang gritted her teeth, but her expression remained unwavering.
"You would be so kind?" Shen Xiwei stood up and looked at her with a mocking expression.
Shen Tangning smiled slightly, her eyes filled with a gentle and tender smile. She glanced at the medicine bowl beside her and said, "Of course I am not as considerate as my second sister."
Just as Shen Xiwei was feeling puzzled and about to become wary, she saw her pick up the medicine bowl and sigh in an ambiguous tone, "This placenta is very beneficial for replenishing qi and blood. In the end, it is Second Sister who is considerate of Aunt."
Aunt Fang's expression suddenly tightened: "What do you mean by this?"
Shen Xiwei's pupils also contracted, her expression revealing astonishment: "No!"
"It seems Auntie is unaware?" Shen Tangning opened her eyes in surprise, holding the medicine bowl and pushing it in front of her, her face full of sighs. "You were carrying a boy, and it was already fully formed, but fate had other plans... Placenta has always been precious, it's better for Auntie to use it than to throw it away. Speaking of which, Second Sister meant well; this is also a way to reunite you and your child."
Before she could finish speaking, the medicine bowl in her hand was suddenly knocked over, spilling the medicine all over the floor!
Shen Tangning raised an eyebrow and stepped back a few paces to avoid being hurt by the flying shards. Looking at the medicine scattered on the ground, she sighed, "Ah, what a pity."
"Ah!" Aunt Fang's expression was shrill and painful. A fishy taste rose in her mouth. She bent over and threw herself by the bedside, digging her fingers down her throat. She vomited everything she could, almost bringing up bile. Tears streamed down her face.
Shen Xiwei lunged forward, shaking her head and explaining with a pale face, "No! Auntie, that's not how it is..."
However, she wasn't entirely sure. She sent someone to the pharmacy to get the medicine, saying it was for women after a miscarriage, but she didn't know if it actually contained placenta...
Aunt Fang was no longer listening to anything at this point.
Her stomach was churning violently, and the thought that the medicine she had drunk might have come from her unborn child made her wish she could cut open her abdomen and scrape her intestines!
Shen Tangning watched coldly from the side, her expression completely unmoved.
