Shen Sui, the eldest aunt of the Shen family, and Shen Ning's father Shen Shuyuan are siblings from the same mother, both born to Mr. Shen's ex-wife.

Shen Sui’s husband was Shen Shuyuan’s classmate, and it was because of this relationship that the two became acquainted.

Logically speaking, Shen Sui should be close to Shen Ning and the others, but her aunt is a very opinionated person. As the eldest sister, she likes to be in charge.

She doesn't have the mentality of an elder sister like Shen Ning who is wholeheartedly trying to protect her younger siblings like a mother. She thinks that she is the eldest sister and everyone else has to listen to her. She doesn't want to take care of anyone, but to give orders. Whatever I say is what it goes. Anyway, as long as what I say is right, she will get angry with anyone who refutes her.

He is so self-righteous that it is hard to understand.

When Shen's father was still alive, this eldest aunt would always scold my younger brother and sister-in-law every time she came back, and then find fault with everything at home, saying that nothing was to her liking. After staying for a few days, she would make the house a mess, and even her nephews would be scolded by her, as if she was the master of the house.

Her husband's family was poor, and every time she scolded someone, she would eat and take things, or in other words, she would come back mostly to take things.

It was not until Shen Shuyuan became the Minister of Works while her husband was still stuck in the lower fifth rank that she finally restrained herself a little. However, she asked Shen Shuyuan to help her husband get promoted in a matter-of-fact tone, saying that they were all family and should help each other. She also said that her husband would definitely achieve great things in the future and would be no worse than Shen's father.

The tone of asking you for help but stepping on you is simply disgusting.

Shen's father was annoyed and had no choice but to help, but it was of little use. She was only promoted from the lower fifth rank to the regular fifth rank, which did not meet Shen Sui's expectations at all. She felt that Shen's father was perfunctory to her, and she had a big fight with him for this. Later, they had no contact for a long time.

Later, Shen's father passed away. She came to the funeral and scolded Shen's mother at the funeral. Sometimes she scolded Shen's mother for not being able to handle the funeral properly, and sometimes she scolded Shen's mother for looking like she had lost her father.

Later, Shen's mother died. Looking at the three children in the family, she immediately acted like an elder, arranging this and that, trying to take back the housekeeper's power from Liang.

While trying to take over the things in the big room, he cursed and said that he was unlucky enough to have to clean up the mess for his younger brother.

However, before she had cleaned up the mess, the second house and her aunt Shen Xia's family came, along with Shen's mother's family. They quarreled for two days and almost came to a fight. In the end, Shen Sui was outnumbered and the group of people actually ended up with an equal division.

It was clearly Shen Shuyuan's property, and he clearly had three children, but these four families didn't treat them as human beings at all.

After the four of them divided the property equally, they thought of the three children. A group of people kept making excuses and no one was willing to take over. They thought that Shen Ning was grown up and was engaged to the Wei family anyway, so they just sent her to the Wei family, and the other two children would be raised by the four families in turn.

After the parents died, they left behind a huge fortune, but their three children became like beggars.

Shen Ning overheard their conversation, but she was too young at that time. With such a turbulent change in her family and facing a group of elders who were as vicious as jackals and tigers, she had no idea how to escape.

She asked for help from Butler Liang and Aunt Liang, and asked them to help her. Then, with a determined heart, she went to her mother's spirit with a knife in hand.

She placed her father's seal and the key to the Shen family's warehouse on her mother's coffin. She held a knife in front of her, her eyes red, but her face was cold and without a trace of emotion.

"Anyone who wants my eldest wife's property can come and take it."

Shen Ning injured three people that day, one was Shen Sui, one was Shen Changlin, and the other was his uncle-in-law.

Only when they saw the blood did they stop them, and finally the group of people left in anger. On the day of Shen's mother's funeral, only Shen Ning was there with his two frightened brothers and sisters.

This happened so long ago that Shen Ning thought she had forgotten it completely, but when she thought back on it, she remembered every scene.

Liuying came in: "Miss, they are here."

The two were reluctant to come as they did not have a good impression of Shen Ningke. However, when Liuying went there, she called Mo Lin and almost forced him to come over with a knife.

Shen Sui was so angry that he opened the door and started cursing: "Shen Ning, get out of here. You killed your cousin and now you know how to be a coward. Not only did you pour stinky water, but you also dared to instigate people to commit violence against the elders. This is simply outrageous."

Shen Ning looked at the aunt whom he had not seen for many years. He could vaguely see the shadow of his father Shen Shuyuan on her face, but this person had an unpleasant personality, which made her face look mean, so he didn't want to look at her any more.

A middle-aged man in his forties came in slowly from behind. He was Shen Sui's husband Gao Junyu, a fourth-rank inspector of the Ministry of Revenue.

He was dressed in plain clothes, had an ordinary appearance, and a low-key and peaceful temperament, but there was not much kindness in his eyes.

How could a man who could spend his whole life with someone like Shen Sui be a good person?

Shen Ning didn't move, but Mo Lin held a knife and forced them to shut up.

"You are becoming more and more lawless. If you have the guts, why not kill me?" The word "bowing" does not exist in Shen Sui's dictionary. Of course, it is mainly because she feels that she is the elder and can naturally control the people behind her.

She glared at Shen Ning: "Your uncle is an official appointed by the court. If you dare to touch him, be careful that you will lose your head."

He had made no secret of wanting her to die, but this threat was a little too ridiculous.

Shen Ning smiled, his eyes were cold, and the smile did not reach his eyes: "Of course I dare not kill an official like Mr. Gao, but after Mr. Gao passed away, Mr. Gao was in mourning at home. It has been more than two years now, right?"

"Others are called back by the Ministry of Personnel after thirty-six days for three years, or half a year. Mr. Gao has been in mourning for almost three years. Have you heard anything?"

Gao Junyu's expression changed and looked a little ugly, but he didn't answer.

He is a calm person.

Shen Ning tapped his teacup lightly: "I didn't ask you to come here to reminisce about the past. I just wanted to make a deal with Lord Gao. Maybe I can let you return to the court, but it seems that you are very disdainful, so forget it."

"Mo Lin, please send me away!"

Before Shen Sui could react, Gao Junyu stepped forward, sizing up Shen Ning with a shrewd look, and smiled kindly, "I didn't know that my niece had this ability, but I remember that your marriage was snatched away by Shen Shu? Where did you get these connections?"

Shen Ning: "Wei Changgeng is only a third-rank imperial censor. He himself has a hard time living in the court. Do you think he can still help you?"

"Since I asked, it's because I can do it. Sir Gao doesn't need to believe it. Sir Jiang has been wanting to transfer back. I can show you whether I have the ability or not."

Shen Xia's husband's surname is Jiang. He was transferred to Jiangzhou to be the prefect five years ago. He has been away for five years and has neither been promoted nor able to come back. He is very anxious.

Shen Sui couldn't believe it: "You actually want to help the guy named Jiang?"

Shen Ning: "Aren't you also helping the Zhao family now?"

Shen Sui: "You were wrong. Shen Ming is your cousin and the only male in the second house."

"Oh... now he's dead, then what?" Shen Ning sneered: "The government hasn't asked me for a crime yet, so why do you still want to use the death penalty to try me?"

Shen Ning knocked on the table: "You can continue to make trouble with Zhao. There are people who will do the deals you don't want to do. Anyway, I can do this favor to anyone."
