PNB Chapter 273 Sudden Stroke
Chapter 273 Sudden Stroke
"You're talking nonsense, you bitch..."
The people in the room listened to Old Madam Shen and Tang Qingmei accusing each other, and in a few words they figured out what happened that year.
"I am a bitch, then what are you? I just used a little trick and you believed it. Was it me who killed your daughter and your son? No! You are the culprit. Don't you just like people to flatter you? Otherwise, wouldn't you be able to see through my little trick? Hahaha..."
Old Marquis Shen raised his hand, and the two personal soldiers who were holding Tang Qingmei covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Shen Junxing had a look of pain on his face, and he sat on the ground numbly with empty eyes.
"Yes, I admit that I concealed something about Ruyi's disappearance. Isn't she safe now? Even if I was wrong, so what? I am still her mother. Shen Weishan, do you still want me to die to atone for my sin?"
Knowing that she could no longer hide the truth, Old Madam Shen simply gave up and acted in a very arrogant manner.
"The child's mother? So you knew that you are the child's mother! Are you worthy?" Old Marquis Shen was furious, and suddenly threw the secret letter in his sleeve at Old Madam Shen.
Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Mrs. Shen's body began to tremble violently.
As soon as old Marquis Shen came back, he started to blame everyone, and his children treated him as an enemy.
Having lost face again at the palace banquet, Old Madam Shen wished she could cut Qin Ruo into pieces.
In the past, she wanted her granddaughter to marry the Sixth Prince so that she would be a royal relative from then on. However, she did not expect that Shen Junxing would marry her daughter to a poor Jinshi.
After feeling humiliated at the palace banquet, Old Lady Shen learned that the Sixth Prince's mother was under house arrest because of Qin Ruo, and she felt that she had found her opportunity.
She asked someone to secretly send a secret letter to the Sixth Prince's mansion, stating in the letter that Qin Ruo was her granddaughter and that she was willing to give Qin Ruo to the Sixth Prince as a concubine.
Old Madam Shen said in the letter that if the Sixth Prince agreed, she would arrange the next steps.
"It's not enough to harm Ruyi, you also set your sights on her daughter. How did Ruyi wrong you? Why do you have to go to this extent?"
"I just don't like that Qin guy. He is unruly and doesn't know his place. She is just an illiterate little princess, yet she dares to act so arrogantly in front of me. Ruyi is my daughter, so I can't teach her child a lesson? That evil creature..."
With a "pop" sound, not only Madam Shen herself, but also Shen Junye's brothers who were present were stunned.
Although Old Marquis Shen had a hot temper, he never used violence against Old Madam Shen no matter how unreasonable she was.
Today, he attacked Madam Shen for the first time, which showed that he was really angry.
"Shen Weishan, you dare to hit me? I will fight you..." Old Madam Shen cried and made a fuss, and stood up to fight with Old Marquis Shen.
"Ms. Chang, today your relationship with your spouse ends here. For the sake of our children, I will not pursue the past. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen stopped in her tracks instantly and even forgot to cry.
"You want to divorce me? No! No! I won't agree. If I'm divorced, where will I put my old face?" Old Madam Shen was shaking with tears in her eyes.
She has always been a person who cares about her reputation. When she heard that Lord Shen wanted to divorce his wife, she simply could not accept it.
If I were really divorced, wouldn't I become a laughing stock in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital?
Shen Junye and Shen Junling were calm about their father's decision.
Even Shen Junxing didn't react at all.
"Ye'er, Ling'er, please plead for mother. Your father will listen to you the most."
"Are you deaf? How could I raise such ungrateful wolves like you? If I had known you two were born, I would have strangled you to death..."
Madam Shen became more and more excited as she spoke, and suddenly she felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
When she woke up again, she was already in her room.
She was horrified to find that she couldn't move her body and had no feeling in her limbs.
When she wanted to speak, she made a series of hoarse and strange babbling sounds.
Terror and despair instantly surged into her heart, and Mrs. Shen's tears instantly flowed down.
"Mother, the court doctor came and said you had a stroke and will have to stay in bed from now on. But it's okay this way. You've worked hard for most of your life, and it's time for you to take a break.
"Oh, mother, don't worry. Father was going to write a letter of divorce yesterday. But now he has changed his mind and asked me to send you back to his hometown. His hometown is quiet and has pleasant scenery. It is also a suitable place for retirement. We will set off tomorrow."
Shen Junxing stood in front of the bed, leaned over, and spoke in a calm tone about the arrangements for Old Madam Shen.
The pupils of Old Madam Shen's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a sense of resentment and unwillingness.
She raised her hand with great effort and wanted to greet Shen Junxing in the face, but she couldn't even move her fingers. She could only close her eyes in despair.
"Mother, are you unwilling to leave the capital?"
Hearing what Shen Junxing said, Old Madam Shen suddenly opened her eyes and pouted hopefully in the direction of the imperial palace.
She was unwilling to accept it! She was unwilling to accept how she had become, in this half-dead state.
"You want me to go to the palace to invite an imperial physician, right? My father and my second brother have resigned from their official positions, and I, a fourth-rank minister with little power, have even less face to invite an imperial physician for you. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion in the future, just enjoy your life in Jiangnan."
After Shen Junxing finished speaking, he turned around and left the house indifferently. Old Madam Shen's eyes were full of anger and despair, but she couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a wet heat flowing down between her legs.
Old Madam Shen's face suddenly turned pale, and she even became incontinent.
An unfamiliar nanny seemed to have expected this. She walked into the room and reached her hand into the quilt.
Old Madam Shen was both embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't stop the other party's actions at all. She could only let out a low growl like a beast.
The nanny lifted the quilt and took a look, then waved outside the room, and two maids walked in quickly.
They worked together to push Old Madam Shen aside, first brought her pants to change, and then quickly changed the bed sheets.
She wanted to see Old Marquis Shen but couldn't express it, and in the end she could only lie on the bed like a puppet and let others manipulate her.
The old nanny and the two maids never spoke a word to her from beginning to end.
Old Madam Shen lay on the bed in tears. She felt that all the dignity of her life had disappeared at this moment.
The next morning, a carriage quietly drove out from the backyard of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion and headed straight out of the city.
In addition to the old lady Shen with a distorted face, there was also Shen Junxing, who was arranged to take old lady Shen back to her hometown.
Accompanying them were the unfamiliar old nanny and two maids who had served Madam Shen in the room yesterday.
The atmosphere in the carriage was depressing, and Shen Junxing didn't say a word until they left the city gate.
