Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 52 Stalemate
"An explanation? Why should I give you an explanation? The ones lying unconscious in bed, trapped in nightmares are Yueyue and Miss Li! The Shen sisters are alive and kicking now, looking so cool. I think you are the one who should give an explanation."

The Queen gripped the teacup so tightly that she nearly crushed it.

The whitening joints revealed how angry the Queen was inside. Murong Yue's pale face and dying appearance kept appearing in his mind.

The Queen Mother didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her precious daughter if she had arrived a step later.

The Shen sisters were truly vicious, as they actually watched Murong Yue die.

"Did Madam Shen know? When the guards rushed over, there were wolves surrounding Yueyue."

"If we had been a step later, the wolves would have eaten Yueyue and Miss Li alive."

The Queen Mother blamed all the mistakes on the Shen sisters.

Even though Murong Yue said that Lu Mingtang and Cheng Ziqi did not help, the Queen Mother chose to ignore it.

They are all from the four major families. The Queen only needs to bite one of them, otherwise the three families will join hands. Even as the Queen, she needs to consider what consequences will be caused if the matter is investigated, otherwise she will not be able to seek justice for her daughter.

After much deliberation, the Queen Mother decided to shift all the blame onto the Shen sisters.

After all, my daughter and the Shen sisters have had a long-standing grudge against each other.

As long as the Shen sisters are in trouble, my daughter will definitely be happy.

Previously, due to her status as an elder, the Queen Mother did not dare to target the Shen sisters openly and could only support Murong Yue secretly. Now that a great opportunity is before her, the Queen Mother must seize the opportunity to teach the Shen sisters a lesson and let them know the consequences of offending Murong Yue.

"Your Majesty, why don't you clarify the whole story before questioning me?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes were red. Even though A Ning and A Wu had some character flaws, they would never do anything to hurt anyone's life.

Although Awu has an impulsive personality, she aspires to be a chivalrous hero.

Never bully the weak.

"There were some minor conflicts between the children, and as elders, we shouldn't have interfered." Madam Shen's face was cold, her brows filled with displeasure and disgust. "Murong Yue and Li Xinrong are too vicious. They want to kill people just because of some minor conflicts. The wolves were attracted by Murong Yue and Li Xinrong."

"Your Majesty, there's no need to quibble. The young master of the Lu family and the young master of the Cheng family are both parties involved. They can testify, not to mention that we have evidence."

Even though she didn't like the Queen, Madam Shen would always give her enough face in front of others and wouldn't make things so ugly. However, the Queen really touched her bottom line. If anyone dared to hurt her two precious daughters, Madam Shen would turn against her on the spot.

"A Ning and A Wu rarely go to the mountains for fun. They just want to relax and unwind, but Murong Yue turns out to be so vicious."

"You're so young and yet you want to kill someone. Queen, if you don't know how to teach your child, why not send her to the Shen Mansion? I can teach her for you and guarantee you'll have an obedient and sensible daughter."

Madam Shen returned all the words she had just said to the Queen.

The queen's eyes flickered. She didn't expect there was such a thing. She wanted to deny the matter, but then she thought of the evidence from Mrs. Shen's mouth and hesitated for a moment.

If there is no evidence, the Queen Mother can deny it, after all, Murong Yue and Li Xinrong were really injured.

After all, people tend to sympathize with the weak.

"Mrs. Shen, this is all a misunderstanding. Did you see Yueyue and Miss Li lead the wolves here? If Yueyue and Miss Li did it on purpose, why would they be injured? They would have escaped the moment they lured the wolves here."

"The evidence is completely unfounded. Regardless, the Shen sisters must apologize to Yueyue and Miss Li and pay the price."

"If Madam Shen is unwilling, why not hand Shen Fuyu over? This will put an end to this matter."

The Queen's eyes flashed, and her mind suddenly recalled the way her daughter gritted her teeth when she mentioned Shen Fuyu's name. Compared with the Shen sisters, Murong Yue hated Shen Fuyu even more.

If you can't deal with the Shen sisters, you can ask Shen Fuyu to come over to help Yueyue vent her anger.

The Queen knew from the beginning that Madam Shen would not hand over the Shen sisters easily.

Therefore, the target has always been Shen Fuyu. "Impossible!"

Mrs. Shen denied it without thinking.

Not to mention that the Shen sisters disagreed, even Mrs. Shen would never agree to hand over Shen Fuyu.

The queen's face turned completely gloomy. She slammed her hand on the table and pointed at Madam Shen with trembling hands.

"You are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me. The Shen sisters are unwilling to hand them over, and now I can't even deal with a servant?"

The Queen unconsciously raised her voice, obviously extremely angry.

OK!

Since she became queen, few people have disrespected her.

Mrs. Shen was the first one.

Now, the Queen Mother completely hated Madam Shen.

The two sides were deadlocked and neither was willing to back down.

Mrs. Shen also lost the gentle and resolute look she had in the Shen Mansion, and her whole body was full of toughness.

The queen has held a high position for a long time and has a natural air of nobility about her.

The servants around were trembling, and no one dared to raise their eyes, for fear that their anger would be diverted.

Things have been discussed to this point, and neither side can back down.

At this time, the announcement sounded.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

When the eunuch's shrill voice reached her ears, the Queen's eyes lit up. His Majesty must have come to seek justice for Yueyue.

Madam Shen unconsciously clenched her hands at her side into fists. What if the Emperor insisted on making the Shen sisters or Shen Fuyu pay the price? Now that her husband was gone, Madam Shen could confront the Empress, but she would never dare confront the Emperor directly.

After all, he is the emperor. If you are not careful, the emperor can accuse you of disrespect.

Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, her brain working rapidly on how to deal with this matter in order to minimize the harm to the Shen sisters and Shen Fuyu?
"emperor!"

A bright yellow figure came into view, and the Queen no longer sat steadily on the stage, but ran to the side of the Emperor like a butterfly.

The emperor's hair was meticulously groomed, with a deep "chuan" character between his brows. The bright yellow dragon robe exuded the emperor's aura, and his majesty was inviolable.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you."

Mrs. Shen bowed immediately.

The Queen took the opportunity to play the victim, her beautiful big eyes filled with tears, full of love for her daughter.

"Your Majesty, are you here to see Yueyue? Yueyue is still lying in bed and hasn't woken up yet."

"A piece of flesh was bitten off my calf."

"Yueyue has suffered such a tragic fate, yet Madam Shen still stubbornly defends the Shen sisters."

"For Mr. Shen's sake, I just want to teach the Shen sisters a lesson. I won't do anything excessive."
