486 An Expert at Courting Death (2)

“You’re right. I can’t do as that little b*tch wants.” Madam Chen picked up her tea. “By the way, have you found that little bastard?”

Sometimes, Madam Chen really could not understand Shen Yijia. It was fine if she stole money, but why did she steal the little bastard?

Speaking of which, that little bastard’s mother had even personally sued Shen Yijia in court.

It couldn’t be because of that ridiculous kinship, right?

She could even hurt her biological father. Madam Chen did not believe that Shen Yijia would be soft-hearted towards the son of someone who had harmed her own people.

“Not yet. I got someone to ask around. The Song family doesn’t have any more boys around six or seven years old. Do you think she killed them?”

Clearly, the nanny also felt that Shen Yijia was not so kind.

Madam Chen paused and sneered. “She’s indeed ruthless. If you can’t find him, don’t look for him. Anyway, I just want him dead. It doesn’t matter who kills him.”

The nanny nodded in agreement.

A maidservant stumbled in. “Madam, bad news, bad news.”

Madam Chen had just taken a sip of tea when she choked from the little maidservant’s shout.

The nanny quickly calmed her down and reprimanded, “Do you have any manners? Why are you shouting?! Also, what do you mean by that?”

The little maidservant trembled from the reprimand and quickly knelt down. “Yes, it’s…”

Madam Chen’s forehead throbbed. “Speak properly!”

“Consort Jing has been sent back. She said that Lord Jing instructed her to recuperate in her maiden home before returning to the residence. She’s already at the door.”

“What?” Madam Chen was shocked. The teacup in her hand fell to the ground, and the tea splashed all over her. She stood up from her chair and walked out.

When she walked to the front yard, she bumped into Shen Wenbo, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

“Mother.” Shen Wenbo bowed to Madam Chen.

“Bo’er, your sister…” Madam Chen grabbed Shen Wenbo’s hand as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

Shen Wenbo’s expression was gloomy. He comforted her, “Mother, don’t be anxious. Let’s see Eldest Sister first.”

At the entrance of the Shen residence.

Shen Ruyun was forcefully pulled out of the carriage by the two old women.

“Let go of me… I was wronged… Let go of me… You dogs don’t want to live anymore…” Shen Ruyun kept shouting. Coupled with her messy hair from the struggle, she looked like a crazy woman. She was no longer as graceful as before.

Disdain flashed across the two old women’s faces.

It was hard to say if she would still be Consort Jing in the future.

They had never seen anyone so suicidal. That day, the eldest grandson only asked when his sister would be born, and she wanted to slap the eldest grandson’s mouth, but she fell and lost her child.

After Lord Jing understood the whole story, in order to give the Chen family an explanation, he punished the imperial grandson to kneel in the scorching sun for four hours.

It was said that children’s words carried no harm. The eldest grandson was just a child. What could he know? This punishment was enough.

However, Shen Ruyun was not satisfied. Seeing the commotion in the residence, she kept saying that she wanted the eldest grandson to pay with his life for her unborn son.

This morning, she even avoided the guards and ran to the imperial grandson’s courtyard alone. If not for the servants discovering it in time, the imperial grandson would have been killed by her.

Lord Jing couldn’t take it anymore and instructed someone to send her back to her mother’s house.

“Stop.” Madam Chen was angry and her heart ached when she saw this scene.

When the two old women heard this, they immediately let go of Shen Ruyun and bowed. “His Highness asked me to tell Madam Shen that the princess consort misses her family and has fallen ill. He’ll pick her up after she recovers from her injuries.”

Lord Jing said that he would come to pick her up. That meant that if he didn’t come, Shen Ruyun would have to stay at her maiden home.

With that, the two of them instructed the people accompanying them to unload the things in the two carriages behind them. Without giving Madam Chen a chance to speak, they turned around and climbed into the carriage. The group left.

“Mother.” Shen Ruyun threw herself into Madam Chen’s arms and cried, “I was wronged. It was that little brat who harmed me. You have to avenge me.”

She had said that she wanted the eldest grandson to pay with his life, but those were words spoken in anger. She was not stupid enough to harm the prince’s grandson.

As for why she would go to the eldest grandson’s courtyard today, it was actually because that little brat asked her to go. That little brat said that it was not an accident that she fell. Someone had harmed her.

Unexpectedly, what awaited her was a trap.

However, because of her previous words of anger, no one believed her.

When Madam Chen heard her cries, she felt sad. Why did she raise such a stupid thing?
