After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

"Eldest sister, what are you trying to do?"

Shen Rou covered her cheeks, her eyes fixed on Shen Ning as if she wanted to devour her alive.

"Was it you? Did you plot against me?"

Shen Ning chuckled softly, saying casually, "What is elder sister saying? I don't understand."

She deliberately put on an innocent expression: "What did I do to you that would make you so angry?"

Shen Rou gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Shen Ning, don't think I can't see through your scheming thoughts."

"Of the entire Shen family, you are the most vicious!"

"Was it you? Did you deliberately take the handkerchief from the palace?"

"Was it you who tampered with the handkerchief in the King of Light's hand?"

"Do you know that King Ming is dead!"

"He's dead!"

Shen Ning smiled faintly.

"Oh, he's dead."

"Wouldn't it be better if he were dead?"

She changed the subject, her eyes filled with doubt: "How did you know, elder sister?"

"Could it be that my elder sister went to the Prince Ming's residence?"

"The handkerchief in the King's hand in the main hall today wasn't mine. My elder sister's concern suggests it might be hers?"

"Could it be that my elder sister and His Highness Prince Ming are deeply in love and have secretly pledged their lives to each other?"

"Now that His Highness Prince Ming is dead, is that why my elder sister is so heartbroken?"

Shen Rou's eyes turned red with anger, and she raised her hand to slap him again, but Shen Ning grabbed her wrist.

Shen Ning stared intently at her, saying each word clearly, "All these years, I've treated you like an older sister, but what have you treated us as?"

"You don't actually think I don't know about your shady dealings, do you?"

She abruptly flung Shen Rou's hand away, her voice icy: "You're right, I did scheme against you."

"You brought this all on yourself; you deserve it!"

Looking at this completely unfamiliar younger sister in front of me.

Shen Rou felt a chill run down her spine, and her scalp tingled.

The Shen Ning of the past was so obedient to her.

She told Shen Ning to go east, and Shen Ning would never go west.

But now, she has changed.

After returning from Putuo Temple, she seemed like a different person, no longer under her control.

It has also become...frightening.

"You knew all along? You've always known, haven't you?"

"That's why you turned the tables on me and put me in this situation."

Shen Ning's expression remained calm; she only let out a slow sigh.

"I don't know what my elder sister is talking about."

"However, I would like to advise my elder sister that once something is done, it becomes a debt."

"If there's nothing else, elder sister, please leave."

Shen Rou stood frozen in place, a lump of anger stuck in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out.

She suffered terribly at the Prince Ming's residence today and was even disliked by the Prince Chen.

Now even Consort Liu doesn't like her.

What should she do next?

She turned around and glared fiercely at Shen Ning.

"Shen Ning, do you know that my biggest regret is being your older sister!"

"Every time I hear you call me 'elder sister,' I feel nauseous and want to vomit!"

Shen Ning sneered: "What a coincidence, my biggest regret is having an older sister like you."

"Your mother should have strangled you when you were born!"

This will also save them from the tragic deaths of their siblings in their past life.

They caused their father to die unjustly, separated them from their loved ones, and ruined their families.

Shen Rou was so angry that she trembled all over, gasping for breath.

Do you think I wanted this?

"Shen Ning, since you're going to go against me, then we'll see!"

After Shen Rou finished speaking, she turned and left the room, heading towards the Yu family's courtyard.

-

In the side room, Madam Yu sat on a chair, looking at Shen Rou, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, at her feet.

It's not a taste in my heart.

She reached out and gently stroked Shen Rou's hair, saying softly, "Rou'er, don't cry."

"Why is Shen Ning targeting you like this? Could it be that she knows something?"

"Could it be that she knows about your background?"

"That shouldn't be the case."

She kept this extremely secret, and in theory, Shen Ning shouldn't have known about it.

After all, the midwife who delivered Ye's baby died in the second month.

As for the child born to Ms. Ye...

Madam Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling the scene when Madam Ye gave birth to her son.

The baby boy was born with a loud cry.

She wanted someone to strangle the child and throw him into a mass grave.

Unfortunately, the old woman was soft-hearted and didn't go all out.

After the old woman died, the child disappeared without a trace.

Yu said quietly, "Don't worry, Shen Ning won't be so arrogant for long."

"Rou'er, don't be afraid. You are the eldest daughter of the Shen family's main branch. It is perfectly legitimate for you to discipline your younger sister."

She helped Shen Rou up from the ground and tenderly tidied her hair.

He then walked to the cabinet, took out a black whip, and handed it to Shen Rou.

"The gentler you are with them, the more they will take advantage of you. Use this whip to discipline them properly."

Shen Rou shook her head: "No."

"The tougher I am, the more the siblings will band together, which will actually be detrimental to me."

"I always felt that Shen Ning might have found out about my background."

"She's been acting strangely lately."

"If our secret is exposed, not only me, but even you, Second Aunt, might be beaten to death by the Old Madam."

"By then, I'm afraid Father will also..."

Shen Rou paused, her eyes red-rimmed as she looked at Madam Yu: "How about this, let's not let my cousin come for now."

"Let...let Father find someone to 'get rid of' Shen Ning."

"We disfigured her and sold her to brothels in other countries, or to the black market to work as a prostitute."

"Even if the Imperial Guards wanted to find her, they might not be able to."

"Anyway, Shen Li is still on the frontier, and Shen Yan is often away on cases, so now is the best time to make a move."

"Only when Shen Ning is no longer in the Shen family can our plan proceed step by step."

Yu took a deep breath and looked at Shen Rou, who was trembling slightly to the side.

"That's too risky."

Shen Rou said, "Wasn't it the same with the Ye family back then?"

"So many years have passed, have the Shen family and the Ye family found even the slightest trace of the Ye family?"

"Second Aunt, Chuan'er is sixteen now. Don't you want him to become the heir of the Marquis's mansion?"

"Do you really want Chuan'er's true identity to be exposed in the future, and he'll end up being beaten to death by the old lady?"

As soon as Madam Yu sat back down in her chair, she felt a tightness in her chest upon hearing her son Shen Chuan's name.

Shen Chuan was the most diligent student among the younger generation of the Shen family and was also the most appreciated by the old lady.

However, he was born into the second wife's family and was therefore ineligible for the position of heir apparent.

She had to secure a good future for Shen Chuan.

She was determined to obtain the title of the eldest son's wife.

"I will discuss this with your father."

"But it's ultimately too risky."

Shen Rou said, "The Lantern Festival will be here in a few days."

"With so many people and so many eyes at the Lantern Festival, it's the perfect time to get started."

"Once we disfigure her face, who will recognize her? We'll sell her to a brothel in another country, and no one will ever find her again."

After a moment of silence, Madam Yu nodded: "Alright, I'll discuss it with your father later."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rou slowly stood up.

Her eyes were still very red.

Today at the Ming Prince's Mansion, those men who tore at her clothes.

And then there was the disdainful look in Prince Chen's eyes when he looked at her.

Scenes flashed through her mind, making her feel nauseous.

If it weren't for Shen Ning's scheming, how could she have ended up in this predicament?

"Since we've decided to take action during the Lantern Festival, I'll go back to my room and rest now."

She turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Second Aunt, my cousin Jing Shu has been frequently leaving the manor these past few days. Do you know where she's been?"

Madam Yu's expression stiffened slightly, and she smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Perhaps she'll go for a stroll around Yanjing. She's new here, so she needs to familiarize herself with the place."

Shen Rou was skeptical.

Every time Yu Jingshu came back, her face always carried an indescribable shyness, and her eyes would dart away when she saw her.

What exactly did they go to do?
