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

Madam Shen saw that Madam Wang was sending people to Shen Ning and Shen Wan's courtyard.

His face immediately darkened.

Yu was even more furious.

She was determined to get the Prince of Huainan's family to annul the engagement with Shen Wan so that her daughter could take her place.

She was also planning to give Shen Ning to her nephew, who was over thirty and still couldn't find a wife.

Now that Wang's people have been planted, it will be difficult for them to monitor the two sisters in the future.

Yu suppressed her dissatisfaction and spoke up.

"Is Madam Ye's arrangement inappropriate?"

"This is ultimately a matter concerning the inner quarters of the Shen family. Isn't it a bit presumptuous of you to directly assign people to handle this?"

Upon hearing this, Wang chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, Madam Shen, the Ye family isn't so poor that they can't even afford the monthly wages for two maids."

"Besides, both Ning and Wan have half the blood of the Ye family flowing through their veins. As their aunt, am I not even allowed to provide them with two servants?"

Her gaze swept over Shen Wan's hands, which were covered in chilblains, and her tone turned cold.

"If it were two children, they would be fine living comfortably here, but look at this, it's already spring, and Wan'er still has so many chilblains on her hands."

"Now that the Ye family has come, they will also bring some charcoal for the children to use."

As she spoke, her gaze quietly fell upon Old Madam Shen.

"Madam, General Shen is away fighting battles all year round, and his salary and rewards are all handed over to the manor."

"I hope you will investigate carefully and not let some people with ulterior motives take it, thus supporting outsiders instead."

Wang's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and pierced straight into everyone's ears.

Old Madam Shen gripped her cane tightly, her face ashen.

However, because the Princess of Huainan was present, he could not make a scene.

Madam Yu, however, could not swallow this insult.

"What does Madam Ye mean by that? What do you mean by 'keeping someone from another family'?"

Wang slowly rose, a faint smile still playing on her lips.

"It's good that the Second Madam understands, so I won't say it out loud."

"It's getting late, and I'm sure Miss wouldn't want to see my aunt, so we won't bother you any longer."

Princess Consort of Huainan also stood up, her gaze lingering on Shen Wan for a moment.

He then looked at the old doctor beside him.

"If you need any medicinal herbs, just let me know and I'll send someone to deliver them."

The doctor bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the medicinal herbs are all common ones."

"The Third Miss's illness can be cured in three days at most."

The Princess Consort of Huainan nodded slightly.

"That's good."

She glanced at Shen Wan again.

The little girl was pretty, but too timid.

Although she wasn't her ideal daughter-in-law, she wasn't in a hurry to break off the engagement.

She didn't say a word to Shen Wan, only glancing briefly at Old Madam Shen and Madam Yu.

Then he left in a grand procession with his entourage.

After the group of people had gone far away, Madam Yu was so angry that her face turned pale.

He turned around and started yelling at the Shen Ning sisters.

"Why are you dressed like that in such cold weather?"

"Didn't I make you new clothes last winter?"

"If people see you like this, it will make it seem like our General's Mansion has mistreated you!"

Shen Ning smiled gently.

"Aren't you clear about whether the new clothes your second aunt mentioned are for us or hand-me-downs that Shen Yue and Shen Ran don't want anymore?"

"Wan'er and I are both a head taller than them, and those clothes are already too short and don't fit us anymore."

"If I actually wore it out, I would just become a laughing stock."

"Enough," Old Madam Shen interrupted coldly, leaning on her cane.

"Tomorrow, I will buy them some new clothes."

She was extremely unwilling, but for the sake of the Shen family's reputation and to prevent the second and third branches of the family from being gossiped about, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

"Yes, madam."

Yu gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed.

Inside the waterside pavilion, faint sobs could be heard.

Inside the room, Yu Jingshu and Shen Rou embraced and wept.

Neither of them spoke; they simply embraced and wept.

It was as if she wanted to pour out all the longing and grievances she had accumulated over the years.

Shen Ning led Shen Wan into the waterside pavilion, and they could hear the sound of weeping coming from inside.

Shen Wan asked in confusion, "Second Sister, why are Eldest Sister and Cousin crying?"

Shen Ning didn't answer, only gave her a brief glance.

"Let's go in and take a look."

The two walked outside and ran into Shen Rou's maid, Xiang Ling.

Shen Ning pushed her aside and walked into the inner room of the private room.

Sure enough, Shen Rou and Yu Jingshu had red eyes from crying.

"Elder sister," Shen Ning called softly.

The two people in the room were startled by the sound.

Immediately, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"Ning'er, what brings you here?"

Shen Rou forced herself to remain calm and smiled as she looked at Shen Ning who was walking in.

Shen Ning's gaze swept over Yu Jingshu, who was sitting to the side.

Although Yu Jingqiu had wiped away her tears, her eyes were still red and swollen, and the tip of her nose was red.

She had clearly been crying for a while.

It now seems that Yu Jingshu already knows that Shen Rou is her biological sister.

The two sisters, who hadn't seen each other for many years, secretly reunited and inevitably broke down in tears.

"What happened to my eldest sister and cousin?"

"Have you been crying?" Shen Ning asked deliberately.

A flicker of panic crossed Shen Rou's face as she quickly replied, "No."

"It's just that I got a grain of sand in my eye."

"Eldest sister is lying," Shen Wan said softly.

"When we entered the Waterside Pavilion just now, we clearly heard you and Miss Biao crying."

"Did something sad happen?"
