Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

Every word of those words was like a blunt knife cutting Shen Yiran's heart at that time. The scar still hurts a little when he thinks about it now.

But now, what did Shen Liang say? A family?

Shen Yiran raised the corners of his lips and revealed a mocking smile: "When did the Shen family treat me as a family member? When did you, father, treat me the same as Shen Yunyan?"

Shen Liang slammed the table and scolded: "How dare you! Are you blaming your father?"

Shen Yiran's eyes flashed coldly, but he suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "Father, you are joking. How dare I say that? But what I said just now is the truth. Father can only find another way out."

Shen Liang was furious. He had put aside his pride and come in person, but Shen Yiran sent him away with just a few words. Was he the kind of person who would bow down for his own status?

"I came to you for the sake of the Shen family. If that's the case—"

Qiu Ju came in and raised her voice and said, "The old lady has prepared a banquet. Please invite the third lady and the Shen family's relatives to the banquet."

Shen Liang couldn't refuse and didn't want to give the old lady face, so he could only slam his sleeves and leave.

Qiuju stayed behind and pulled Shen Yiran's sleeve to comfort him.

Shen Yiran didn't feel anything, she had cried all her tears in her last life, so she didn't care anymore in this life.

At the banquet, the old lady could see that the people of the Shen family looked unhappy. After listening to Qiuju's whisper, she also understood the reason.

The old lady then found some things to say and started a conversation with Shen Li.

Shen Li was naturally delighted and spoke to the old lady enthusiastically.

Here, Rong Qingqing deliberately sought out Shen Yunyan to talk, and asked about her family situation.

Shen Yunyan understood that Rong Qingqing was deliberately trying to embarrass her, so she laughed and said, "The Second Madam is really a good person. She cares about me so much. I heard that something happened to the Second Madam. What happened?"

Rong Qingqing narrowed her smiling eyes and could see that Shen Yunyan was not a good person either, so she smiled and turned to Shen Yiran.

"Your sister doesn't like to chat with us, and I still don't know her very well. Why don't you tell us some interesting stories?"

Shen Yiran seemed to be unconcerned, but in fact he heard everything everyone said.

When she heard Rong Qingqing was about to ask her about her life in the mansion, she smiled and took over the conversation.

"Don't ask, second sister-in-law. Children who have been without a mother since childhood are just getting by with each other."

Shen Li didn't hear it at first, until Rong Qingqing repeated it loudly.

"Shen Yiran, what do you mean by this? Now that you have your in-laws backing you up, you are deliberately saying this to discredit me, right?"

Rong Qingqing hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Mrs. Shen, don't worry. I don't think that's what I meant. Can you please apologize to Mrs. Shen?"

Shen Yiran said that on purpose, how could he possibly apologize?

Shen Li couldn't wait for Shen Yiran to speak, and she couldn't let go of her pride, so she could only turn to complain to the old lady.

"This child has never regarded me as her mother since she was young, and has always called me stepmother. I have tolerated it, but what about her? Forget it. If I continue talking, it will only disrupt the old lady's banquet. It's okay for me to tolerate it once more."

Shen Yunyan immediately held onto Shen Lishi, tears flashing in her eyes. Her grievances turned into a look, staring straight at Shen Yiran: "Mother, in her eyes, she doesn't even consider us as relatives. It's a waste of the Shen family raising her up."

Shen Liang placed his chopsticks on the bowl and said in a deep voice, "That's enough. Let's make fun of ourselves."

Rong Qingqing and Xu looked at each other and found that the old lady didn't say anything, so they came out together to smooth things over.

Rong Qingqing persuaded Shen Li, and Xu came to persuade Shen Yiran.

"We are all family, so don't become estranged because of a small conflict. After all, we still have a mother's family and a place to return to in the future."

Shen Yiran raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly, "I failed to help my father. I may not be able to go back in the future. If I go back, I might get slapped again. I dare not go back again."

Shen Liang himself did not think that there was anything wrong with what he had done, but when it was brought up to him in person, he felt embarrassed.

"Okay, old lady, it's a good idea, let's all eat the food."

Rong Qingqing was unhappy when she heard Shen Liang's words. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh, no wonder my sister-in-law is so afraid to go back. Lord Shen has such a great authority that even I am afraid of him."

Shen Liang originally just wanted to warn Shen Yiran, but now that he said it out loud, it became like giving orders in front of the table in the Marquis' Mansion. He felt a little embarrassed to be criticized by Rong Qingqing.

Shen Yiran did not give Shen Liang face and said directly: "Father is used to being a high-ranking official. Now he is only a chief clerk. I can't help you coming to the Marquis' Mansion to ask for help."

Rong Qingqing and Xu immediately smiled and said, "This is your sister-in-law's fault. Isn't it normal for family members to help each other?"

Shen Yiran snorted coldly and put down the chopsticks he had been holding in his hand. Only then did he raise his eyelids for the first time to look at Shen Liang, Shen Lishi, and Shen Yunyan who were staring at him at the same time.

"Everyone heard what they said just now. Which one of them said they treated me as a family member?"

Shen Li immediately said, "You were in the wrong first, so why don't you allow us to speak?"

But although her words sounded confident, no one at the table responded.

Thinking about the grievances and cruel treatment he had suffered in the Shen family in his previous life, Shen Yiran took a deep breath and said, "My stepmother wanted to replace me with my sister to marry into the Marquis' Mansion. Is this true?"

"Is it true that the dowry my mother gave me when I got married was given to my younger sister?"

"After I got married, you never came to visit me once. Is that true?"

Shen Li and Shen Yunyan made up some random excuse for why they were not daring to marry someone above their station, but in the end they felt that it was too pale.

Shen Yiran turned his attention to Shen Liang again.

"Father, you clearly knew there was something wrong with the exam, but you didn't consider that your eldest daughter is now in the Marquis' Mansion, and the Marquis is your son-in-law. You only cared about your own safety and didn't say a word."

"If it weren't for the Marquis's efforts to solve the problem and save the Marquis' Mansion, what would have happened to the Marquis' Mansion now? Father knows it, but what did you do when I went to ask about it?"

Shen Yiran clearly felt that Xu and Rong Qingqing, who had been making trouble before, closed their mouths after hearing these words and stared at the three people from the Shen family coldly.

"You slapped me and banned me from entering the house forever."

"Haha, you really kept your word. You didn't let me go back, so you came to my house yourself, and even expected the Marquis's house to help you. But the Marquis was soft-hearted and tried his best to protect you, so that you could get the position of chief clerk. But you felt that this position was a loss of face for you."

The old lady, who had been watching coldly and had no intention of interfering in the Shen family's affairs, finally spoke.
