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

The words "eldest daughter" were like a sharp thorn, piercing Shen Rou's nerves.

A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

Eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter of the Shen family's main branch has quite an extraordinary status.

In late spring in Yanjing, the chill still seeps into the bones.

In the latter half of the night, a light rain began to fall outside Zhaohua Courtyard.

A cold breeze seeped in through the window cracks, causing Shen Ning, who was on the bed, to involuntarily shrink deeper into the covers.

These past few days have been cold due to the unseasonable spring chill. Second Madam Yu distributed some charcoal to each courtyard, but not to her and Shen Wan's courtyard.

The day before yesterday, Shen Ning went to the Second Madam's courtyard to ask the reason.

Zhao, the old woman serving the second wife, claimed that there was a shortage of charcoal this year, and many households in Yanjing could not afford it.

There were very few left after they were assigned to each department, so naturally it wasn't her and Shen Wan's turn.

The second brother, Shen Feng, who gambles and never comes home, did not receive any charcoal, and the eldest brother, Shen Yan, who is often away on official business, also did not receive any.

Of all the women in their main branch, only Shen Rou received a share of charcoal.

It wasn't until Shen Yan returned to his residence and learned of this that he reluctantly ordered someone to bring some charcoal to Shen Ning and Shen Wan's courtyard.

Now that the charcoal fire has run out, the entire Zhaohua Courtyard is as cold as an ice cellar.

"It's so cold..."

"I wonder how Father is doing on the frontier."

Shen Ning curled up in bed, thinking that she would definitely go to the second wife's place tomorrow to ask for some charcoal, but her consciousness gradually blurred and she sank into a dream.

When I woke up the next day, I heard birds chirping outside the window and the sound of cold wind whistling into the room.

"Miss." Bai Zhi's voice came from outside.

Shen Ning lifted the blanket a crack, and the chill mixed with dampness seeped into the bed.

"Bai Zhi, is there any charcoal left in the yard?"

Bai Zhi, wrapped in thick clothes, pushed open the door and entered, her little face red from the cold.

"Miss, it's cold in early spring, and we've already run out of charcoal."

"The Third Miss's Wutong Courtyard, like our Zhaohua Courtyard, doesn't have much charcoal. The Third Miss is still ill; I wonder how she is doing over there."

Shen Ning then realized that she had not seen her younger sister Shen Wan since her rebirth.

And then there's Shen Feng, the second brother who spends all his time in casinos.

"Bai Zhi, go and fetch me some hot water. I need to wash up at my third sister's place."

"Yes." Bai Zhi quickly turned around and went out to prepare hot water.

Soon, the hot water was brought over.

Shen Ning felt like she had finally come back to life when she immersed her frozen hands in the water.

The second wife is now in charge of the Shen family, and she makes all the decisions regarding the expenses of each courtyard.

My father was away fighting battles for many years and did not return home for seven or eight years. He gave all his rewards and salary to the Shen family and instead provided his second and third wives with a life of luxury.

After washing up, Shen Ning took out a crimson cloak from the wardrobe, put it on, and walked with Bai Zhi toward Wutong Garden, where Shen Wan lived.

Like Zhaohua Garden, Wutong Garden was the most secluded courtyard of the Shen family.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they heard a girl's tearful pleas coming from the side room.

"Dr. Rong, no... I don't want to."

"don't want……"

Then came a deep, seductive male voice.

"Miss Shen, how can I treat you without examining the affected area?"

"Come, be good, take off your clothes so I can examine you carefully and diagnose your condition. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity if you were to be divorced by the Prince of Huainan after you marry into his household because you cannot bear children?"

"But don't be afraid. I am a doctor with a compassionate heart. There's no need for you to be so shy, young lady."

Shen Wan's personal maid, Baoqin, also chimed in.

"Young lady, Dr. Rong has practiced medicine for many years and is most skilled in gynecology. Please take off your quilt so that the doctor can take a good look."

On the soft couch, the girl's eyes were filled with tears, a mixture of shame and fear.

"No, I won't take off my clothes."

"Then this servant will take it off for you." Baoqin walked forward indifferently, squatted down and was about to take off Shen Wan's clothes.

Shen Ning overheard this conversation outside the door, and her breath caught in her throat, her anger rising to her head.

In his past life, it was this Doctor Rong who, through some unknown means, won Shen Wan's heart.

At that time, Shen Wan disregarded her brother's and her own objections and secretly eloped with Doctor Rong.

This also became one of the triggers for the Shen family to annul the engagement with the Prince of Huainan.

Not only did Doctor Rong defile Shen Wan, but he also tricked her into going to Jiangnan. Later, after Shen Wan became pregnant, he abandoned her.

When her elder brother Shen Yan sent people to find Shen Wan in Jiangnan, she had already miscarried.

It was also said that Doctor Rong already had a wife and a son and a daughter.

After that, Shen Wan's personality changed drastically. She was also deceived by her maid and spent her days mingling with the playboys in Yanjing, eventually contracting syphilis.

On her wedding day, Shen Wan was raped and killed by that group of people.

Shen Ning will never forget the night she found Shen Wan. Shen Wan was thrown naked on the ground, and several dirty and smelly beggars pounced on her body like hungry wolves.

"That woman is really horny; the body of a well-bred lady is so supple."

"What kind of refined lady is she? She's clearly a withered flower, who knows how many men she's been with."

Memories of her past life flooded back, and Shen Ning felt a burning pain in her chest.

Bai Zhi, standing beside her, whispered in disbelief, "Miss, why does Doctor Rong require the Third Miss to undress before examining her? I've never heard of such a medical practice."

Shen Ning's face was as cold as ice. She gritted her teeth and rushed into the room with Bai Zhi.

Upon entering the room, one could see the maid Baoqin roughly undressing Shen Wan.

The handsome Dr. Rong beside her stared intently at Shen Wan.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he even swallowed hard as he looked at Shen Wan.

Her younger sister, Shen Wan, blushed deeply, weakly biting her lower lip as she looked at Baoqin with a mixture of shame and fear.

"Sister Baoqin, please ask Doctor Rong to leave. I'm scared..."

"I am engaged to the heir of the Prince of Huainan, and I cannot let other men see me."

"What are you afraid of?" Baoqin's movements were rough, and he reached out to pull at Shen Wan's bedding.

"Open your mouth, otherwise how can Doctor Rong treat you?"

"What are you doing?" Shen Ning could no longer suppress her anger.

She strode forward, shoved Baoqin aside, and wrapped Shen Wan in her clothes.

Shen Wan trembled all over in her arms.

"Sister, sister, I'm so scared."

"Wan'er, don't be afraid." Shen Ning hugged Shen Wan tightly.

The little girl was terribly cold and shivering uncontrollably. When she looked at Baoqin, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

"Why is the Second Miss here?" Baoqin asked impatiently.

Now that General Shen is away from home for most of the year, aren't the daughters of the first wife at the mercy of the second wife?

Shen Ning's face was ashen as she helped Shen Wan up.

"Wan'er, it's cold today, you lie down first and wait for your older sister."

After settling Shen Wan on the couch, she pulled the blanket over her.

Today's unexpected cold snap is really excessive.

The little girl huddled under the covers, still trembling, only her dark, bright eyes peeking out as she quietly gazed at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning took a deep breath and walked expressionlessly to Baoqin.

Then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.

"Why don't you take off your own clothes and let all the servants in the manor see clearly?"

"Bai Zhi, hold her down and strip her clothes off so Doctor Rong can take a good look at her and see if she can have children in the future!"
