Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 193 Pressing forward step by step

"Chief, have you ever thought that perhaps we have never seen the Second Brother clearly?"

Mrs. Shen's fingers tapped silently on the table, her mind racing as all sorts of speculations surfaced in her mind. Shen Yingjun's transformation began after her husband's disappearance. Did this mean that Shen Yingjun had similar thoughts long ago?
The reason why no action was taken was because the head of the Shen family was there and Shen Yingjun was not sure.

Otherwise, why did Jiang Yun ask why she was so obsessed with this matter? If Shen Yingjun had no idea, wouldn't Jiang Yun's efforts to get everything be just to make wedding clothes for others?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen sneered. Her second brother was really good at it. He had been disguising himself for so many years that even they were fooled into thinking that Shen Yingjun was a good person. In order to respect Shen Yingjun, they delayed things for so long.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth.

Every failure makes you wiser. In the future, you must deal with any problems in a timely manner.

Now that Jiang Yun is missing, it is extremely difficult to find her in the huge Qinchuan City.

The head of the Shen family felt a little troubled. "The most urgent thing is to find Jiang Yun first, and then investigate the responsibility for this matter. I don't think Yingjun would go to such lengths."

"Yingjun just felt that he had pushed all the family responsibilities onto Jiang Yun while he was working as an official in another place. Therefore, Yingjun felt a little guilty towards Jiang Yun. Even though Jiang Yun had done something like this, Yingjun was embarrassed to hold Jiang Yun responsible too much."

Even now, the clan leader is still protecting Shen Yingjun.

Mrs. Shen glanced at the head of the Shen family with a sharp gaze. Ha, guilt?

"Clan leader, do you really think so?" Mrs. Shen had a stern face, her jawline was tight, and her attitude unconsciously became distant. The head of the Shen family noticed the change in Mrs. Shen's attitude.

"Yingjun has always been very honest."

The head of the Shen family opened his mouth and answered a question that was not asked.

That year, the head of the Shen family was seriously injured in the heart by an assassin and was in critical condition.

In order to preserve the name of the head of the Shen family, the Shen family tried their best to find a miracle doctor with a bad reputation.

However, the miracle doctor had already been bribed and was carrying a contagious virus, so no one was willing to take care of the head of the Shen family.

Only Shen Yingjun was not afraid of anything.

He washed the Shen family head's underwear by hand without any complaints, and was more caring than his own son.

It was precisely because of these feelings that the head of the Shen family showed leniency to Jiang Yun and did not hold Jiang Yun accountable immediately.

If it was really Shen Yingjun who did it, considering what happened, the head of the Shen family would not have the heart to hold Shen Yingjun accountable.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Shen's eyes, and she did not pursue the matter any further. After all, the person Jiang Yun killed was the head of the Shen family.

As the person involved, why should Mrs. Shen intervene if the head of the Shen family is unwilling to hold her accountable?

Mrs. Shen moved her lips and was about to speak.

"Chief, sister-in-law."

Shen Yingjun's voice could be clearly heard by Mrs. Shen and the head of the Shen family through the heavy screens.

"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of Jiang Yun. Now that Jiang Yun is missing, it's normal for my sister-in-law to suspect me."

"I am willing to pay the price for this matter and I am willing to take responsibility. If I had taken good care of Jiang Yun, she would never have the courage to do such a thing."

Shen Yingjun knelt outside the door without saying a word, as if he would not get up until the head of the Shen family and Mrs. Shen forgave him.

The man had a slender figure and was kneeling straight. The maidservant standing by couldn't help but be moved and whispered to the people next to them.

"Second Master is truly a loyal and righteous man. Second Madam has truly found a truly wonderful man, yet she doesn't know how to cherish him. If I had met him, I would definitely not want to let him go and would definitely live a good life with my husband." "Yes, this matter has nothing to do with Second Master, but he is willing to take responsibility."

"Look, the Second Master wasn't this thin before he left the Shen Mansion. How much hardship did he endure outside to become like this? After returning, he still has to clean up the mess for the Second Madam. Even an outsider like me feels sorry for him."

Just as Mrs. Shen was about to go out to check on Shen Yingjun, the maids' whispers reached her ears.

Deep love and loyalty?

Not so!
Shen Yingjun probably did this to maintain his image in front of his servants.

When the truth is revealed in the future, everyone will only feel that Shen Yingjun was blinded. Shen Jun is loyal and righteous, and this kind of person is the most worthy of reliance.
Perhaps because of the Jiang Yun incident, Mrs. Shen's good impression of Shen Yingjun disappeared completely.

After those filters disappeared, Mrs. Shen realized belatedly that Shen Yingjun had been maintaining his persona.

Shen Yingjun's good reputation in the mansion is inseparable from the publicity among the servants.

As soon as Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters returned home, they saw this scene.

"Second uncle, what are you doing?"

Shen Mengwu frowned, looking at Shen Yingjun's behavior with some confusion.

My mother and grandfather, the clan leader, had never forced my second uncle to do anything. Why did he kneel down in front of everyone? Even if my second aunt's disappearance was related to my second uncle, my mother didn't embarrass him in public!

Shen Mengning's eyes deepened slightly, and her words were sharp, "Second Uncle, are you forcing Mother and the clan leader, Grandpa?"

Shen Fuyu quietly raised a thumbs up and praised Shen Mengning.

well said!
Shen Fuyu had long disliked Shen Yingjun, but due to his status as a servant, he couldn't say anything.

Previously, Shen Fuyu inquired about who Shen Yingjun was. Xiao Taohong and Daya Sister both gave him good comments, except that they said Shen Yingjun was a little indecisive. Originally, Shen Fuyu had a certain good impression of Shen Yingjun. However, everyone gave him good comments, which Shen Fuyu found very strange.

Thousands of people and thousands of faces.

Shen Fuyu cannot guarantee that he can be liked by everyone.

If such a person exists, then eighty percent of him is pretending.

Shen Yingjun avoided answering, "I just feel sorry for my sister-in-law and the clan leader, and I want to express my apology in this way."

"If my actions cause any misunderstanding, I can explain it."

Shen Yingjun's eyes are particularly sincere.

Shen Mengning frowned and opened her mouth to say something else.

Mrs. Shen walked out of the room, protecting the Shen sisters behind her. She lowered her eyes to look at Shen Yingjun who was kneeling on the ground. Mrs. Shen sneered, and her beautiful eyes did not contain a trace of warmth.

"Second brother, who are you sorry for? What does Jiang Yun's escape have to do with you? Now that you're kneeling here and admitting your mistake, does that mean that Jiang Yun's sudden disappearance has something to do with you, or that you instigated it?"

Mrs. Shen pressed on step by step, completely lacking the kindness she had shown when she first met Shen Yingjun.

At this point, what was there for Mrs. Shen to not understand? Shen Yingjun's kindness and understanding were all fake. Now that her husband was missing, Shen Yingjun's true colors were exposed.

Everyone knows his wolfish ambitions.

"Sister-in-law..." Shen Yingjun's face was pale, and his lips trembled, as if he had suffered a great blow. "Do you miss me like this? I just feel that I haven't taken good care of Jiang Yun, and I feel a little sorry for you."
