Shen Xu looked at Shen Nan disappointedly.

He and Shen Hao had already said it so clearly. Why did Shen Nan still not understand? Until now, he was still trying to protect Shen Xue.

Was Shen Xue more important than his own reputation? He would be known by the Shen family as a terrible person who could not tolerate others!

“Sister Shen Xue… Sister Shen Xue told me that Fifth Brother became like this because of Emily. If it were not for Emily, Fifth Brother would not have become like this. She even said…”

“What else did she say? Argh just hurry up and say it!”

When Third Aunt saw that Shen Nan finally spoke, she was happy and relieved inside. However, Shen Nan didn’t get straight to the point, which made her anxious.

“When I just came back, Sister Shen Xue was crying alone at the door. She told me that Fifth Brother didn’t care about her and only cared about bringing Emily back to the house. When I saw Sister Shen Xue crying so sadly, I panicked.”

“Brother Shen Nan!”

When Shen Xue saw that Shen Nan had really said everything, the crocodile tears in her eyes disappeared instantly. She looked at Shen Nan anxiously.

How could Shen Nan do this? How could he tell them everything?

How would the Shen family look at her now?

“What are you shouting for? Shen Xue, this isn’t your house. If you want to show your temper, go back to your own house!” Third Aunt was even more displeased when she saw Shen Xue yelling at her son in front of everyone.

She hadn’t even blamed Shen Xue yet for using her son like this! How dare she yell at her son in front of everyone?

Shen Nan immediately hid behind Shen Hao, who was closest to him. He grabbed a corner of Shen Hao’s shirt tightly and looked at Shen Xue, his eye’s still red from tears.

He didn’t want to, but Shen Xu and Shen Hao both told him that Shen Xue was using him.

He was not a fool. How could he be used for no reason?

“Third Aunt…”

When Shen Xue saw Third Aunt getting furious, she immediately subdued her temper and her face was full of grievance.

“Shen Nan, let me ask you. Did Shen Xue tell you why your Fifth Brother wasn’t willing to pay attention to her and left her at the door?” Shen Yao said unhappily. This whole farce was an insult to his eyes.

One of the heirs of the Shen family was actually so stupid, even he as the head of the family felt embarrassed.

Hearing that Grandpa Shen Yan’s tone had become much gentler, Shen Nan hurriedly shook his head.

At this point, he couldn’t afford to anger his grandfather any further.

“Shen Xue, do you want to say it, or should I say it?”

Shen Yan stared at Shen Xue. He was prepared to give Shen Xue another chance.

“Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Shen Xue hurriedly shook her head.

‘This isn’t happening,’ she thought. ‘Shen Yu isn’t a talkative person. He definitely won’t tell Shen Yan about what happened in the village that day.’

However, Shen Xue had forgotten that Shen Yu wasn’t the only person there.

Shen Yan snorted coldly. “So you won’t give up your ploy until the very end I see.”

Shen Xue lowered her head and immediately became afraid.

“I know that you are still a little girl, not to mention you’re one of the few girls among the grandchildren of the Shen family. Naturally, you are loved by most of the family members. However, one must know to be content. That day, you framed Emi in the village and caused her to be despised by the villagers. She was called an ingrate by those in her own hometown. Why didn’t you tell Shen Nan about this?”

Shen Yan looked at Shen Nan out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Nan’s expression of disbelief as he looked at Shen Xue. He couldn’t help but feel gratified that his grandson was finally learning his lesson.

Fortunately, Shen Nan wasn’t so hopeless after all.

“What?” Second Aunt, who was sitting at the side, was also in disbelief.

She liked girls to begin with, and even wanted a daughter herself. Emily, that child, was so obedient and well-behaved. Second Aunt couldn’t imagine how upset Emily would be if she was despised by the entire village and was even called an ingrate.

Second Aunt’s gaze towards Shen Xue also started to become much less loving.

Initially, she thought that Shen Xue just couldn’t bear to see Shen Yu treat Emily so well and got jealous, and she would be fine after some time. She did not expect Shen Xue to have such vicious thoughts.

Shen Xue began to tremble, and fear appeared in her eyes.

“No, I didn’t say anything back there!” Shen Xue subconsciously began to deny her wrongdoing, and her eyes started to get red again.

“Put away that pitiful act of yours. Are you saying that Old Master Shen is lying?”

Third Aunt saw that Shen Xue was about to start crying again. She felt appalled. All she knew was to cry. What else could she do besides wailing to escape from consequences?

When Shen Xue heard Third Aunt, tears continue to swell up in her eye sockets, yet she didn’t dare to let them fall.

“Until now, you still haven’t realized your own wrong-doing. How could the Shen family raise a child like you? I think you’d better not come to the old residence anymore in the future.”

Shen Xue’s heart skipped a beat.

“Grandpa…” Shen Xue called out to Shen Yan softly. Her voice suddenly sounded much weaker than before.
