Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 87 The Patriarch is Sick
Mrs. Shen knew that Shen Yingfeng would never be willing to marry a widow.

Shen Yingfeng will definitely do something. If Shen Yingfeng is completely desperate, he will most likely ask for help from the head of the Shen family. For the benefit of the family, the head of the family will use some means to persuade Widow Chen to give up Shen Yingfeng.

He came here first to complain to the head of the Shen family, with the purpose of completely cutting off Shen Yingfeng's retreat.

Now that her goal had been achieved, Mrs. Shen curled her lips and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Shen family called her again.

"Zhishu, what happened to Mengyan? Why did she get burned all of a sudden?"

Obviously, Shen Mengyan's affairs have reached the ears of the clan leader.

Madam Shen secretly gritted her teeth, a ball of anger accumulated in her heart. What a good Madam Shen Er, she didn't even complain! Madam Shen Er actually took the lead in complaining to the head of the Shen family. In this case, don't blame her for speaking harshly.

"Clan leader!" Madam Shen's tone became more serious. "It was my sister-in-law who filed the complaint, right?"

"Originally, I had no intention of bringing this matter to the clan leader. Since my sister-in-law has given up, I have nothing to hide."

Madam Shen raised her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Shen Mengyan brought a group of outsiders to bully Aning and Awu. Clan leader, you only paid attention to Shen Mengyan's burns. Have you ever seen how badly Aning and Awu were bullied? Their faces are swollen, and Aning even fainted. I only have these two daughters. They are my life!"

The head of the Shen family's expression gradually became serious, and he looked at Mrs. Shen with a stern face.

"Meng Yan brought outsiders to bully them?"

No matter how much sisters quarrel, they can resolve it internally. If Shen Mengyan involves outsiders, she will cross the bottom line of the head of the Shen family. No matter how pitiful Shen Mengyan is, she deserves it in the eyes of the head of the Shen family.

Mrs. Shen nodded with tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, and explained to the head of the Shen family.

"Shen Mengyan and her sisters tied up Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning. The clan leader might be wondering why Shen Mengwu didn't fight back. Shen Mengning was in Shen Mengyan's hands. If Shen Mengwu dared to fight back, Shen Mengyan would use Shen Mengning to threaten her. Ah Ning has deep feelings for her sister, so she naturally couldn't bear to see this happen, so she chose to endure it."

"As for Shen Mengyan's burns, they have nothing to do with Aning and Wu."

"Miss Li Jiaxin, the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, can testify that the fire started out of thin air. Li Jiaxin said it was a punishment from heaven."

Mrs. Shen didn't even add any exaggeration and simply narrated the incident, but the head of the Shen family was already very angry.

"Divine punishment?" The head of the Shen family frowned.

It was really ridiculous. He had never seen such a thing in his life.

"I don't know exactly what the clan leader is talking about, but Michelle Reis definitely said that."

"My sister-in-law is really something. She only shows her fierce side to her own family. She doesn't even know how to comfort the other girls at a time like this. Otherwise, if the news of Shen Mengyan suffering heavenly punishment gets out, not only will they stay away from Shen Mengyan, but it will also be extremely bad for the Shen family's reputation."

Every word Mrs. Shen said made sense.

The head of the Shen family stroked his goatee and looked at Mrs. Shen with an apologetic look.

"Zhishu, don't worry. I will definitely uphold justice and make Madam Shen Er and Shen Mengyan apologize."

"Thanks a lot."

The head of the Shen family sighed deeply. He saw the undercurrents in the Shen family.

only……

The head of the Shen family looked sad. Unfortunately, he had a minor health problem and didn't have long to live.

There are many things that I am willing to do but unable to do, otherwise the Shen family would never have become what it is now.

Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red, and she felt very aggrieved. Ever since the head of the family disappeared, there had been no news. She knew all the secret moves of the second branch of the Shen family, and even someone in the shop was maliciously causing trouble.

She often makes things difficult for Madam Shen. For the sake of her two daughters and to help the master maintain his power, Madam Shen has a tough attitude. Many people say she is unkind, but if Madam Shen is soft-hearted, it will only lead to more violent means. She can only be more assertive, only in this way can she avoid being bullied.

"Zhishu, if you encounter any difficulties that you really can't handle, come to me. Although I don't have any great abilities, I am more than capable of helping you."

"Wuwuwu!" Big tears rolled down her cheeks. Madam Shen knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the clan leader. "Clan leader, ever since my husband got into trouble, I've been surrounded by wolves and tigers. If you hadn't supported me, who knows what would have happened."

"We must hold on until Yingjie comes back."

Shen Yingjie is the head of the Shen family and the father of the Shen sisters.

After receiving orders from above that some problems had occurred on the border, Shen Yingjie took his soldiers away and told others that they were doing business.

He left Qinchuan City in August last year and there was no news until the beginning of spring this year. Over time, many people said that Shen Yingjie was dead.

In addition, Mrs. Shen only has a pair of daughters.

Of course, a daughter can inherit the family if she doesn't get married, but Mrs. Shen's two daughters are not promising.

The position of the head of the family was destined to be replaced, so many people began to have ulterior motives.

He made things difficult for Mrs. Shen for all kinds of reasons, hoping to find something to blame.

What's worse, a corpse that looked extremely similar to Shen Yingjie was found from somewhere.

Want to confirm Shen Yingjie's death.

In this way, the head of the Shen family can be selected legitimately.

Mrs. Shen was so shocked at first that she couldn't recover for a long time. After she calmed down and took a closer look, she found out that it was an imposter.

The head of the Shen family had a tantrum in the house.

Then things quieted down for a while.

During this time, things started to move again.

Especially the second branch of the Shen family is the most dishonest. After all, the eldest brother died, and the second son naturally inherited.

"I can still hold on for a while."

Although the head of the Shen family looks healthy on the surface, he is actually very decayed. There is a smell of Chinese medicine all over his body, which is enough to show that the head of the Shen family has been drinking Chinese medicine all year round.

He pretended to be fine just to intimidate those people with evil intentions. After all, a family head who was not recognized by the clan leader was destined to have no chance of taking the position.

"Chief, how is your health these days?"

Hearing what the head of the Shen family said, Mrs. Shen had a bad feeling and just hoped that nothing would happen to the head of the Shen family.

"No problem." The head of the Shen family waved his hand, indicating that Mrs. Shen could leave.

Mrs. Shen left, and the head of the Shen family suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale for a moment. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief and pretended to be nothing happened.

At this time, the servant came in.

"Clan leader, it seems to me that Madam Shen is not innocent in these matters." The servant has been taking care of the head of the Shen family since he was a child, so the relationship between the two is not like that of an ordinary master and servant, and some things can be said out loud.

"It's right to have the means."
