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

"Wan'er, let's go take a look too."

Shen Wan's fingers were stiff from the cold, wrapped in Shen Ning's old red cloak.

Only after sitting down by the brazier did my body gradually warm up.

It was bitterly cold outside, but she still listened to Shen Ning.

"Okay, Wan'er will listen to her elder sister."

She slowly rose, holding onto the edge of the chair, and carefully took Shen Ning's outstretched hand.

Seeing her younger sister so obedient and compliant, Shen Ning felt a warmth in her heart.

Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver.

Over the years, my father has been stationed at the border, and the second and third wives have been suppressing the first wife's family in every way.

Her younger sister had been worn down and made timid and withdrawn, always keeping her head down and looking meek.

Shen Wan suffered just as much as she did since childhood.

Now that she has been reborn, she is determined to protect her younger sister.

We must not let her be deceived or led astray in the future.

Shen Ning pushed open the side door of Wutong Garden and saw Madam Yu helping Old Madam Shen toward the main room.

Behind them followed Zhao Shi from the third branch of the family and Shen Ran, along with their maids and servants.

Several burly women suddenly kicked the door open.

Then, faint sobs could be heard coming from inside, accompanied by Dr. Rong's gentle words of comfort.

"Don't cry, young lady. Now that I have seen your beautiful body, I will take full responsibility."

"I am by no means a frivolous person."

Upon hearing the sound, Madam Yu and Madam Zhao exchanged a glance, their understanding unspoken.

Madam Yu's face lit up with pleasure as she helped Old Madam Shen up, feigning concern.

"Madam, Wan'er is engaged to the heir of the Prince of Huainan, yet she's now involved with this Doctor Rong... How is our Shen family supposed to explain this to the Prince of Huainan's residence?"

Madam Shen's face was gloomy as she looked into the side room.

I wanted to see everything clearly, but the old woman who pushed open the door blocked my view.

"What else can we do? If she has truly lost her innocence, this engagement must naturally be called off."

"No one is allowed to spread this matter, lest it tarnish the reputation of the Shen family's women. The eldest son has been away at the border for so long; what have become of his daughters!"

As she spoke, Old Madam Shen glared at Madam Yu.

"And you, as the second aunt, haven't you been in charge of the household all these years, and you can't even raise a few children properly!"

Yu looked embarrassed.

"Madam, I am not their biological mother after all. If I, as their second aunt, interfere too much, I will only be resented."

The group walked into the side room while talking.

In the corner, Baoqin wrapped herself tightly in a bed sheet, while Dr. Rong stood in front of her, his eyes darting around.

Before Madam Yu and Old Madam Shen could get close, they couldn't see who the weeping woman was.

It must be Shen Wan in Shen Wan's room.

"What exactly happened? The old lady and I heard what you two were saying outside the door just now."

"Third Miss, have you completely forgotten all the manners and shame your eldest sister taught you?"

"Now, seeing that Doctor Rong is so handsome, they are so shameless..."

"How can you face the Prince of Huainan's mansion? How can you face the heir apparent? And where do you place the Shen family?"

Standing beside Zhao, Shen Ran stared at the woman wrapped in a bed sheet, feeling that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She had to agree to such blatant acts of kicking someone when they're down.

After all, Shen Wan's marriage to the Prince of Huainan was the envy of countless women in Yanjing.

"Second Aunt, the Prince of Huainan is exceptionally handsome and talented. I think Third Sister is not good enough for him."

"Now that Doctor Rong has examined my body, I might as well marry him."

"I wonder what my uncle will think when he comes back and sees his daughter like this..."

When Shen Ning led Shen Wan into the room, she overheard Shen Ran's words.

Shen Wan felt a tightness in her chest, so angry that she could hardly breathe.

"Grandmother, Second Aunt, Fifth Sister, are you all so eager for Wan'er and the Heir Apparent to break off their engagement?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly turned around.

An unprecedented coldness appeared on the chubby-cheeked girl's face.

"Third Miss... what are you doing here?" Madam Yu was somewhat speechless.

Shen Ning smiled faintly and asked, "Then, Second Aunt, where does my Third Sister think she should be?"

Yu looked embarrassed: "That's not what I meant."

Madam Yu looked at Old Madam Shen.

"Madam, it seems there's been a mistake. The woman with Doctor Rong..."

"It's Baoqin," Shen Ning quickly replied.

"This shameless maidservant should be dragged away and beaten to death!"

Old Madam Shen slammed her cane heavily onto the ground.

"Baoqin, what exactly happened?!"

Baoqin wrapped herself tightly in the bed sheet, her eyes blurry with tears, and climbed out of bed, kneeling down in front of Old Madam Shen with a thud.

"Madam, please understand! It wasn't me..."

"It's the Second Miss! It's the Second Miss who's trying to ruin my reputation!"

"She had Bai Zhi strip the servant girl of her clothes, deliberately letting Doctor Rong see everything clearly!"

"Baoqin, who are you talking about?" Shen Ning glanced at Doctor Rong beside her.

"Stop slandering me and Bai Zhi! It's clearly you who seduced Doctor Rong because of his good looks, and now you want to turn the tables on me!"

"Grandmother." Shen Ning turned around and looked at Madam Yu and Old Madam Shen.

"My grandson would never do such a thing that would ruin someone's reputation."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Doctor Rong whether Baoqin took off her clothes to seduce him herself, or whether I ordered someone to do it."

"Both Dr. Rong and Wan'er can testify for me."

"This Baoqin is restless by nature. Since Doctor Rong has seen her body, why not give her to Doctor Rong as a concubine?"

Doctor Rong, standing to the side, lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Madam Yu, yet he couldn't afford to offend Shen Ning.

He was born with handsome features, and his entry into the Shen family was carefully arranged.

I thought it was foolproof, but I never expected...

Unexpectedly, Shen Ning already knew his background.

They even know exactly where his home is and how many people live in it.

These are things that even the Yu family didn't know.

Madam Yu's face was ashen. Her gaze swept across the faces of the group, and she sensed that something was wrong.

"Dr. Rong, what exactly happened?"

Doctor Rong immediately cupped his hands, adopting the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman.

"Replying to Second Madam and Old Madam, it is indeed as Second Miss said."

"I came here today to examine the Third Miss, but I found that there was only this maid in the room."

"I was about to leave when she suddenly said that she had fallen in love with me and was willing to become my concubine, so she took off her clothes herself."

After speaking in a low voice, Dr. Rong secretly glanced at Shen Ning.

"That's not how it is!" Baoqin kowtowed repeatedly.

"Madam, this servant did not seduce Doctor Rong; every word this servant uttered is true!"

Shen Wan said, "Baoqin, if you are interested in Doctor Yirong, you can simply tell me. I will ask my grandmother to allow you to become his concubine. Why make things so awkward?"

As Shen Wan spoke, she walked gracefully toward Madam Yu and Old Madam Shen, and then bowed.

"Second Aunt, Grandmother, now that Doctor Rong has seen Baoqin's body, it's not appropriate for her to be betrothed to another family in the future."

"How about we give Baoqin to Doctor Rong as a concubine and let them leave the manor? What does Grandmother think?"

Madam Shen's expression was solemn.

"Is it really true that Baoqin seduced Doctor Rong? Or is it that Ning'er...?"

Shen Ning: "If Grandmother doesn't trust her grandson, surely she can trust Doctor Rong?"

"If I remember correctly, it was my second aunt who personally invited Dr. Rong recently."

"Now, not only has Doctor Rong failed to cure Wan'er's illness, but he is also entangled with the maids of Wutong Garden. It seems that his medical skills are not good enough, so it is inconvenient for him to treat my sister anymore."

"My sister will be of marriageable age in a few months, at which time the Prince of Huainan's mansion will come to discuss the wedding date."

"Could it be that our Shen family is going to send a sickly girl to the Prince's mansion?"

"Father is far away in the border region, and the Shen family is managed by Second Aunt. If my sister's illness does not improve, the Prince's Mansion will only think that Second Aunt is incompetent in managing the household."
