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

Yu walked to Old Madam Shen's side, trembling all over and with red eyes.

"Ancestor, please believe me."

Madam Shen sat upright in her chair, her face turning ashen with anger.

She clenched her teeth and looked at Madam Yu.

With the Princess Consort of Huainan still present, the reputation of the second branch of the Shen family is likely to be completely ruined today.

She suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice.

"I'll ask you in detail later what exactly happened!"

During the spring hunt, Lady Yu angered the Empress over her cloak and was flogged twenty times, nearly losing her ability to get out of bed.

Now this controversy surrounding the bellyband has once again caused a great uproar.

Madam Shen is now extremely disappointed in Madam Yu.

Just then, the Princess Consort of Huainan stood up.

"Madam, it seems I've come at an inopportune time."

"However, since the letter of annulment has already been brought, it shall be given to the old lady."

"Miss Shen is a good person, but our Ce'er is not good enough for her."

Shen Ning sneered from the side.

"In that case, I hope the Crown Prince will find a good match soon."

"Your Highness..." Old Madam Shen hesitated, then finally sighed.

"In the end, it was our Wan'er who implicated the Prince's Mansion."

Princess Consort of Huainan sneered, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Our Ce'er is not fortunate enough. Please, Madam, sign this annulment agreement."

The annulment document was slowly opened. Old Madam Shen took a deep breath and signed the document.

"From now on, our Huainan Prince's Mansion will have no further connection with the Shen family."

After the Princess of Huainan finished speaking, she led her maids and servants outside.

Before I even stepped out of the front hall, a black dog, about half my height, rushed in from outside.

The black dog was carrying a purple floral bib in its mouth.

Princess Consort of Huainan paused, glancing into the hall with a somber expression.

The Shen family's drama was indeed quite lively.

However, Shen Wan is currently injured, and it is estimated that she will have difficulty conceiving in the future.

She was never satisfied with Shen Wan, nor with the marriage arranged since childhood.

Shen Wan is weak-willed and not worthy of her son at all.

It's good that you've retired now.

After the Mongolian tiger dog carried the bib into the front hall, it let go and dropped it on the ground.

Then it wagged its tail, circled around to Ning Ying's feet, and let out two loud cries as if to claim credit.

Yu had barely managed to sit up when she saw the purple undergarment on the ground, and all the color drained from her face.

"Madam, do you recognize this undergarment?" Ning Ying asked in a low voice.

Old Madam Shen, leaning on her cane, looked extremely distressed: "Where...did they get this thing from?"

Just then, the butler rushed in, looking embarrassed.

"Reporting to Madam, it is... in the son-in-law's room."

"In Uncle's room?" Shen Yue, sitting in a chair, frowned slightly.

"Why are there women's underwear in my uncle's room?"

She bent down and picked up the purple bodice, examining it closely. On the back of the bodice, she felt the embroidered character "娇" (jiao, meaning delicate or charming).

His eyes widened in surprise.

Isn't this my mother's childhood name?

"Mother, how did your little garment end up in Uncle's room? It even has your name embroidered on it..."

In an instant, the expressions of Madam Yu, Shen Rou, and Yu Jingshu changed drastically.

Madam Shen's expression suddenly froze.

Madam Yu panicked and yelled, "What nonsense are you spouting, you girl! How could these be my clothes!"

Shen Ning, standing to the side, slightly curled her lips.

She hadn't expected that Yu Pingsheng would secretly keep Yu's personal belongings.

Indeed, they were lovers, and after being separated for so many years, they naturally used this little garment to ease their longing for each other.

Every year, Madam Yu would return to her maternal home in Yongzhou twice.

Whether she went back to her parents' home or had an affair with Yu Pingsheng remains unknown.

However, Shen Chuan, Yu Jingshu, and even Shen Rou are all their children.

I think that's when I got pregnant.

"No, these are my mother's undergarments, I've seen them!" Shen Yue blurted out without restraint.

"How could this thing have appeared in my uncle's room out of nowhere?"

Madam Shen's face turned pale, and she scolded in a low voice, "Yue'er, there are still guests here, watch your words."

Shen Yue then shut up.

Princess Consort of Huainan said with a half-smile, "Enough, it's not my place to get involved in the Shen family's internal affairs."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Madam Shen forced a smile, saw the person out the door, and then returned to the front hall.

At this moment, Yu Pingsheng rushed over from the Begonia Courtyard, his forehead covered in sweat.

Upon seeing the purple dress, he felt dizzy and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He was on edge, and after exchanging a bewildered glance with Madam Yu, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Madam, someone must have made a mistake... These clothes somehow ended up in my yard."

Madam Shen asked the steward in a deep voice, "Where in the Begonia Garden was this Mongolian tiger dog found?"

The butler, forcing a smile, replied, "Madam, it's... under the son-in-law's pillow."

As soon as he said that, a murmur arose throughout the room.

Yu clenched her fists tightly, not daring to look at Yu Pingsheng again.

Her relationship with Yu Pingsheng must never be revealed.

Shen Ning sat quietly in the chair, watching the farce unfold with a calm expression.

"Grandmother, since Uncle said that this undergarment was not hidden by him and he has not touched it, he naturally wouldn't have the smell of hair on him."

"Why not let this Mongolian tiger sniff it out, and then we'll know whether it's real or fake?"

The four women, Yu Shi, Yu Pingsheng, Shen Rou, and Yu Jingshu, looked terrified.

"Ning'er." Just then, Shen Rou, who was sitting in the chair, spoke up.

"The situation at home has already been messy enough; why push it further?"

"Besides, these clothes might not even belong to Second Aunt."

Shen Ning sneered: "How does eldest sister know this isn't second aunt's?"

"Enough!" Old Madam Shen slammed her cane heavily on the ground.

Her sharp gaze swept over Yu Shi and Yu Pingsheng.

Although the two are called brother and sister, they do not resemble each other at all.

Shen Ning's smile turned cold: "Since even the vicious dogs of the Princess's residence cannot identify whose clothes these are, why not report it to the authorities?"

"Let the authorities investigate; the truth will come out!"

Madam Yu immediately panicked: "How can this be? This is ultimately a matter within the Shen family; what will happen if word gets out!"

"So, Second Aunt can frame Wan'er out of thin air?"

"Then please explain, Second Aunt, why did Meng Hu Dog bite you alone among all the people in the front hall?"

"Could it be that Second Aunt herself wanted to curry favor with Prince Ming, which is why she sent her personal belongings there?"

"And why did the black dog specifically find your undergarments under your uncle's pillow? Does your uncle often carry it with him?"

"Could it be that you two have disregarded human ethics and have been having an affair for some time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the front hall erupted in uproar.

"Shen Ning! I'll fight you to the death today!" Madam Yu's face turned bright red as she lunged at Shen Ning.

Zi Yuan pushed her away, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Madam Shen trembled with rage: "What kind of nonsense is this? If word gets out, it will be disastrous!"

Zhao and Shen Yue, Shen Ran and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They gradually began to have doubts.

Why did Yu Pingsheng secretly keep Yu's bellyband?

Aren't they siblings?

"Enough! Shut up, all of you!" Old Madam Shen slammed her cane hard on the ground.

"How long are you going to keep this up? The Shen family has completely lost face!"

"Madam," Yu Pingsheng said, his face ashen, as he stepped forward.

"It seems that Jing Shu and I have caused your household quite a bit of trouble these past few days in Yanjing."

"How about we set off back to Yongzhou tomorrow?"

"This..." Old Madam Shen was at a loss for words.

All the male members of the Shen family were stationed at the border, and although Yu Pingsheng was Yu's maternal brother.

Now that this has happened, I'm afraid...

"Big brother..." Madam Yu's eyes reddened, and her whole body trembled.

"You and Jing Shu have only been here for a few days... What am I supposed to do now that you're leaving?"

"The doctor said your arm isn't fully healed yet; it will need to rest for at least a while longer."

She turned and looked at Old Madam Shen through her tears.

"Madam, please let my brother stay. Everything that happened today was a misunderstanding."

"Grandmother, let's report it to the authorities." Shen Ning said firmly.

"This matter concerns the reputation of the women of our Shen family."

"Let the officials come and clear my uncle and the women of the Shen family's name."
